Whenever I try to install a zip file in cwm, it says the installation has been aborted. And I know the zip file is a good one. Why isn't it reading my files?
I currently use rom manager and cwm 2.5.1.2 runs by default. At the bottom of the application, it offers to change the cwm edition. it offers 2.5.1.4, 2.5.1.3, and 2.5.1.1. When I select 1.4 or 1.3 it can not be downloaded. For 1.1 it can be, but when I boot into recovery, it only runs 2.5.1.2, which does not load any zip files. Do you think there might be a difference if I tried to download the touch cwm recovery? Or is there an entirely differnt recovery to use? I'd be Willing to pay a few dollars.
Also, when I open cwm, it says there is an update for clockwork mod recovery, but have no clue on how to actually update cwm.
Thanks

Go to ROM Manager and click on the top option. Pick i9000 to update your CWM.
I did try that and every time I do... it says the installation has been aborted. It makes it about 1/3 of the way on the progress bar then it is aborted for some odd reason.
All I want is to be able to flash

Why use Rom Manager at all? You could just use Heimdall to flash an unsecured kernel with CWM built into the one-click package. The first 2 posts in this thread will tell you how:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
I have read that maybe flashing a new kernel would solve the cwm issues. Just not sure exactly where to Get a decent one. I have the app sgs kernel flasher to help simplify the process as long as i have the kernel on my phone.
I'm new to the flashing sort, but have gotten used to cwm and don't want to abandon it. I have been success with it on other devices... just not with this infuse on 2.3.6

Entropy's dd kernel should work fine. There's a heimdall one-click for it too.

Is it red Cwm? Was it red? You need to get back to red if not.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I flashed entropy's kernel and cwm is now red. And by red, I'm assuming the letter colors?
It didn't say "error installation aborted" when I booted into cwm, which is a good sign. Haven't tried to flash a rom yet though. Pretty sure it will work now
Thanks

Here you go guys. Credit for the base goes to Whitehawkx, luckyduck69, and joedev for KD1, I just took the tar, re-deodexed, and made it CWM Flashable with unters deodex program.
If you have the update.zip (CWM Beta1) on your sd, please upgrade to Beta2.

No, you need the Clockwork mod in order to flash the update. Check out the CWM thread and it will explain how to set it up. Once you have clockwork, all you need to do is go into the Clockwork recovery and select the zip to flash it.

Yes, you do... you place the Update.zip in the root of your SdCard and then boot into Stock Recovery and select Reinstall packages (this will install the update.zip which is CWM Recovery)(U should check the Beta2 Thread for more info)
Oh sorry, I think I misread what he was asking.

FYI
CWM Beta2 semi bricked phones, re Odin it and try Beta3
When I flashed the rom I lost root and my phone would reboot when I hit the power button to lock the screen. Reflashed whitehawks deodexed KD1 will try it again with CWM beta 3.

Have been trying to change my modem for the last three days now no one hag actually explained thee process off flashing the modem just need someone to point me in the right direction thanks
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
flashing a modem is just like flashing anything else in cwm.
pick one up from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117331
put the zip file on your sd card root. go to cwm (im guessing you have the red cwm), go to install from sd card, choose zip file, choose whichever modem you want, flash it, go back, reboot. and you should be good.
Go to cwm make sure you mounts are good. mounts just to make sure unmount mount mount unmount. Then just flash the zip file of the modem you want. You can find the modems in the Bible thread.

Just so you know if you are running stock kernel you can't change the modem. You need Bali kernel if you didn't know. I had to learn the hard way to. Trial and error

Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
If on froyo you have to download the moddified recovery.bin file and use a file explorer app to push it to the system/bin folder. Make sure that the file explorer app is set to r/w so the file sticks. Once you have that then put the update.zip file on your SD card and boot into recovery and hit reinstall packages. You could also Odin the Bali kernel. If in gb Odin one of the modded kernels Dr honk made.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
the Bali kernel is a ZIP though, and Odin only does TAR
there is an odin version available. search for it in the development section
wow nice. found it and flashed it. freaking out at my phone telling me in sexy robot chick voice what it's doing. thanks man
Samsung Epic 4G owners who have converted their phones to MTD partition layout can "flash" this in MTD recovery. It temporarily boots CWM5 BML, allowing you to flash modem upgrades without wiping your phones back to BML layout. You may safely ignore the error messages when this CWM starts. This CWM is not written to your phone, so the next time you run recovery it will be MTD CWM.
Requirement: Your CWM recovery kernel must support kexec. CM7 kernels nightly 12+ support kexec.

Interesting, thanks for the heads up.

Step 1: Boot into the installed (MTD) recovery (3 finger, reboot menu, terminal command - whatever is your preferred method).
Step 2: "Flash" this file (it doesn't actually flash anything, just runs a script that tells the phone to load a different kernel, just like Rom Manager's recovery that boots from the sd card as opposed to being installed in internal memory)
Step 3: flash a modem update, etc - you are in a BML recovery, so use common sense... wait, that will only help 10% of experienced users (just don't do anything that interacts with the internal partitions, aside from the modem - it will most likely just error out, but if it doesn't then it will probably mess up your MTD partitions)
Step 4: ????
Step 5: Profit!
It really is that basic and simple.

Are you using CWM or ROM Manager? If the answer is CWM, did you use ROM Manager or NVflash?

Basically what the first reply was, but wanted to add in so you know,
If you used ROM Manager to do basically anything, you need to NVFlash CWM and than always use CWM to flash anything. ROM Manager does whats called a fake flash of CWM.
And than yes, which ROM(s)?

Search the G2x development forum for Batch Cleanup Tool. Run that, then flash a stock ROM. Boot that ROM once, then try a custom ROM.
