All right, my issue is I have no clue in following directionshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777970 that are listed here, I understand how to get to command line, but I am unsure from there, I would love a good detailed instructions or something to help me out. I'm trying to flash a custom rom that requires me to have an updated cwm. Thank you so much and sorry for my noobish question!

its simple man if you have a custom recovery already all you need to do is flash the zip file like any other file you would in CWM.
if you dont have a custom recovery already use odin check out vincoms stickie in the developement page and flash the recovery thru odin and that it . pretty simple

the issue lies in that the only way to install the custom rom is to upgrade my custom recovery to the latest one, and thanks for your response!
EDIT: I researched online and found a method with fastboot and the recovery image, I will try this, is this a wrong method or is it possible?
You don't need fastboot at all if you already have a custom recovery installed. Just download the cwm flashable zip and flash it just like you would a rom (install zip from sd card > choose zip from internal/external > choose the cwm zip and choose install, then choose the recovery option to reboot recovery to boot into the new recovery.

If you have CWM or ClockWork Mod installed on your phone.
----- ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUT THE CWM TOUCH ZIP FILES ON YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD AND NOW GO TO RECOVERY MODE AND FLASH IT, GO TO INSTALL FROM SD CARD, I'M PRETTY SURE YOU KNOW IT? OR IF NOT MESSAGE ME I'LL HELP YOU STEP BY STEP.
If you DON'T have CWM.
----- download a cwm and flash it through odin and after having cwm, do that instruction above.

You're all jacked up, dude. Just grab the zip file, place it on your sd card, and flash it in recovery.

I used the one click root method and installed rom manager. from rom manager, I flash clockworkmod recovery, but when I tried to backup current rom. I got an error. Now I'm a bit worried to try installing any roms if I cant backup properly. Whats going on?
pretty sure the ROM manager flash recovery only puts the update.zip on your sd care. you can search dev forum (this should be in general btw) and do one click clockwork so you can boot to it from rom manager. otherwise you can boot to stock recovery and flash the update.zip on your sd to boot clockwork, then you can backup and stuff. but you will need the one click to boot to CWM from rom manager.

wat?
sorry, I had a hard time following, could you elaborate please?
Hello xda folks.
Im a noob 1st and foremost.
I see that our phone is listed in ROM Manager, my problem is I don't know how to get into CWM or flash ROM's in ROM Manager. If possible can someone give a quick step by step guide on how to do so.
Thanks a bunch

ok i have never just put cwm on my phone through rom manager
i had krylons cwm first so im not sure if the process is different
i know in rom manager after you install it, it offers to go into cwm for you!
with krylons cwm you have to reboot into recovery then press the reinstall packages and your in cwm
but yea you should be able to get into cwm with rom manager
I don't have Krylon's cwm, but I did try to reinstall packages but I get and error msg. Does anybody know why.

yes because you havent put krylons cwm on there
reinstall packages works with his cwm
for rom manager you should just go into the app and it will give you the option to go into cwm from there for you

First of all I hope your rooted, go to the development thread and grab the files for cwm final by krylon360, follow the steps provided in his post and you will be flashing you f'n face off after that, hopefully.

drhonk said not to use cwm from Rom Manager yet and to continue using the final version for now
Thanks guy appreciate you advice ill try it now.
I already have it and flashed from cwm. No issues to report so far. (but i haven't flashed anything other than the recovery and rebooted into it via Rom manager)
So far, backup from rom manager doesn't work, but if you do it manually....it still works fine. Partitioning works from within rom manager. Testing more.

I haven't flashed any ROM's yet but I downloaded ROM Manager and selected Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it did so then I selected Reboot into Recovery and it took me to CWM. No need for Update.zip on your SD card anymore
Thanks for that. Me too. Saw Samsung Galaxy 4g in Flash Clockwork recovery menu, chose it and now reboot into recovery take me directly to CWM instead of stock recovery and install update.zip

koush just updated it, recovery and backup in rom manager are now working
I just made a backup using rom manager.I haven't flashed anything yet because I'm on the train heading to work.
If someone could tell me if rom manager fixes our mount issue or we still need to do it ourselves before flashing I would appreciate it.
I don't want to experiment on the train lol.
Thank you

I rooted and unlocked the phone also s/off with revolutionary. I wanted to restore to factory so I could install updates and none of the commands in cwm recovery will not work. Will not read sd. can not wipe data to install the PG59IMG.zip file the instructions say you should be on the latest clockworkmod recovery if possible. according to rom manager I'm on 5.0.2.7 cwm. Sorry if posted in wrong place haven't needed help before.
Thanks

Load PG59IMG.zip on the root of a different sd card and boot into the bootloader.

Thanks I finally got it what I had to do is go into rom manager. Then hit load rom from sd. check wipe data and system. I then had to go back and delete everything from the sd but the img file. Then load zip from sd. Followed other instructions from there. Worked great.
Thanks

um so you were having no issues with your phone but you wanted htc updates? you felt these updates would be better than a custom rom?
anyway are you following THIS GUIDE?
at what point do you need to use clockwork? maybe im reading this wrong but i think the guide you are using maybe the wrong guide
Thanks for your help and time in advance. I am trying to flash a ROM to my At&T HTC One X. It is HBOOT 1.14 running ics 2.20. I am specifically trying to flash ViperXL and have failed about 3 times so far. I keep getting my phone stuck in a boot loop. It is no longer in a boot loop because I have flashed the factory ROM. My phone is rooted and I have TWRP as my recovery. I have some specific questions to ask:
1) What version of ViperXL should I use? I think I might be trying to flash the wrong version.
2) Do I leave the entire file zipped when I put it on my sd card or do I specifically extract the boot.img file and keep that file separate from the zip file?
3) If I have Flash Image GUI from the playstore should I use that to flash it? If so do I still follow step 2 above?
This is what I have been doing so far:
1) Downloading this file: ViperXL 3.2.1 - Android File Host (685MB) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236
2) Using WInRar to extract its contents and move it to my sd card.
3) Using Flash Image GUI to select boot.img and then pressing flash.
4) Rebooting my phone and then wa-la, boot loop. I have actually been following a youtube video on how to do it but I'm not getting no luck.
If there is an easier way please inform me. I am a noob but love this stuff. Please be specific with instructions so I can enjoy an awesome custom ROM.
Again, thank you for your time and have a great day.

wipe cache dalvik system and factory reset in recovery
fastboot flash boot boot.img or use the gui to flash the boot.img extracted from the viper rom
install the viper rom within recovery.
read more before you end up with a brick.
it says all this right in the second post of the viper thread
"Download the ViperXL 3.0.0 from the download section
Confirm the md5 checksum is correct on both files (it will be noted on the dl page)
Place the file somewhere on your phone storage
Reboot to TWRP recovery
Backup current ROM
Install ROM using twrp and select wipe during aroma install if coming from another base
If you have 1.14 hboot you will need to flash the boot.img in fastboot. You will need to extract this from the ROM zip. I have found the following tool useful: [TOOL] HTC Auto Boot.img Installer (One Click Tool)
Reboot and Enjoy"
All Flash Image GUI does is flash the boot.img, which is a small part of the overall ROM. You also need to have the entire ROM zip on your SD card. Boot into bootloader, then go into TWRP recovery. Once in TWRP, go to Wipe, do a factory reset (do not factory reset in bootloader, as it will corrupt your SD memory), wipe Dalvik, wipe cache. Then select Install, and navigate to the ROM zip. The ROM will begin to install. AROMA will then launch, giving you a variety of install options specific to ViperXL. Go through the AROMA options. Then when the ROM install is complete, TWRP will give you the option to reboot. Reboot and enjoy.
Do not extract rom lol. Flash it as is!

Wow how did you figure this out? I now know why my sd corrupted on me once. I did click that once in my life. In fact it put me i have the "soft brick and gonna cry" category, complete with post in q&a.
There needs to be a sticky for things like this.. Little nuggets of knowledge.
The sticky should also contain the factory recovery.
And then the sticky should be mandatory before you are allowed to download roms, recoveries, etc. It would save headache for many.

Agreed. I too fall into the category of accidently bootloader factory resetting and almost dieing lol
it has been stated not to factory reset in bootloader, i have posted it probably almost 100 times. i'm glad this thread is finally over it was making me itch and twitch.

Its a fairly common mistake, and as DvineLord stated, it been discussed quite a bit in various places.
I am running a CWM recovery now and want to install TWRP recovery. What is the best and easiest way to do this??? Noob Question, however I had a app when I got the phone and I put CWM on it. I keep seeing everyone favors TWRP and want to give it a go... Thanks and sorry if its out there already.
Edit - For all of those not familiar with fastboot and flashing recoveries, there is an app in playstore called flashify that will flash a recovery or boot images. You just need to d/l the file that you want like TWRP 2.5 or CWM and save the file on your sd card. Select it in Flashify and bam..
That's cool. I wasn't aware you could flash CWM or twrp without a computer using fastboot. Nice.
Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX HD
Flashify? Isn't it to share URL between browsers?
It's like ROM Manager, the first one I ever used to flash CMW. But never heard of Flashify, nice one there. Just do a zip install of a TWRP from CMW, I don't think you need an external soft to do this D: . They recommend to use GooManager but I don't think there's a difference at all.
