I like to change theme roms a lot, Sapphire Google Build/HTC Build and JF1.41 RC9/RC33
But i have to put the roms as update1, update2 etc and then rename then before i flash them
I was wondering is there a way maybe a code n the recovery terminal to flash an update.zip not called update.zip
Just a suggestion
iirc, you can specify the update file to flash from the terminal, but i may be wrong; i'll have a look for the command, it's on this forum somewhere.
Echo "boot-recovery
--update_package=SDCARD:foldername/update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
Reboot phone and hold power + home
Replace foldername with directory of desired update
SDCARD must be uppercase

Just a note that this method does not currently work on the Haykuro builds because the reboot command is "not permitted!"
That is why you must do a manual reboot. As soon as the screen goes black press and hold power + home until it starts the recovery console. It works if you follow that proceedure.
Or alternatively boot to the recovery console press alt+x then enter the commands at the prompt and then type "reboot recovery" without quotes at the end.
just use a file manager to rename before reboot
hello all,
this recovery is not ported by me, xda's senior member fun_ have ported this to many devices, and we using the one which is compatible with paladin, many many thanks to him, a link to original thread is here
requirements:-
1. a rooted phone, you can root your tab here
2. cwm recovery image which you can get here
steps:-
1. open file manager which can have root access
2. go to system and rename recovery.cpio.img to recovery.cpio.img.bak
3. put downloaded recovery in /sdcard
4. open terminal emulator
5. type su
6. type "inand_flash_image recovery /mnt/sdcard/recovery.cpio.img" (if you have put it in flash then replace sdcard with flash)
7. then boot into recovery by holding menu and power button together or by typing "reboot recovery" in terminal emulator
how to control recovery:-
# power button is used to select options
# menu button will take you up
# home button will get you down when pressed
some notes you should keep in mind:-
1. back button do not work in recovery
2. never try the key test option else you will get stuck
3. backup do not work for boot, xboot, mbr areas
4. do not flash any rom available for paladin, basic etc. devices (or you will have a hard bricked tablet)
a simple step to enable on-screen back button
as soon as you booted into recovery, press menu then home then again menu, a message will appear saying enabled ( can be done in every screen)
Cwm

tab is not rooted root it first
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29100664
dude i followed ur steps, used root explorer to rename to bak, and then tried, i get kcrc32 file size not same. and then when i boot to recovery the whole screen goes berzerk with curtain falls and doesn't do anything. i renamed the bak file into normal and flashed it and got the old recovery.. could you tell me what im doing wrong? used your recovery.cpio.img 3.5mb file in my sdcard... doesnt work..
rooted karbonn smart tab
kcrc32 not same is normal
did the terminal flash the recovery 2 times
like:-
kcrc32 not same
then a hex address
flashing from /mnt/sdcard
kcrc32 not same
then a hex address
flashing from /mnt/sdcard
if you get something like above then it is flashed properly

yup i got it twice, kcrc32 not same.
then i entered reboot recovery. thats when the screen goes all curtainfall like a crash, and recovery doesn't load. i had to use the reset pin and power button to turn on the tab again.. perhaps the img is not compatible with my tab?
btw mine is Karbonn Smart Tablet 2.
http://ncarry.nimbuzz.com/karbonn/product.php?product_id=2212
but when i purchased, it came with android 4.0 ics. everything else is same as in that page..
it is different
and I think that's why recovery is not booting
any suggestions mate? perhaps another ainol tab is similar to karbonn st2?
What if there is no "recovery.cpio.img" file in the system folder? This is after having root permissions...nothing has been done otherwise. I do not have a recovery file to rename and am unsure if it should still go in the system folder or not. It doesn't even have a file extension (I had to transfer it to my laptop just to check, and there's no .img or .zip...nothing.)
Also I keep getting the following message in terminal emulator when attempting to run the command:
sh: inand_flash_image: not found. The image file is in the /mnt/sdcard/Download folder. The full instance is:
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # inand_flash_image recovery /mnt/sdcard/Download/recovery.cpio.img
sh: inand_flash_image: not found

Any help?

Use ROM manager to flash cwm recovery
Phone : lg P500
ROM: Rashed's CM10
Kernel : DJNOXD 2.5.6
PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!!!
Careful with ROM Manager! Flash the 1 which says OBB (Old Baseband). DO NOT attempt to backup. Once you get CWM installed, uninstall ROM Manager, & do not use it again.

Ok People. I think i have damaged my htc pico NAND thingy. I have followed the procedure for installing ROMS( doing factory reset wipe cache format etc ) but cant pass the HTC Logo on most ROMS. only AteeqRom is working but when it starts and i pull the screenlock it is giving me alot of force crashes even i cant get into menu. the problem is I cant get into menu. i have seen the recovering from NAND damaged procedure by cute_prince . but the problem is it is not passing the lookscreen. please help me i dont want to lose my phone at this stage. any help will be appreciated. Thanks alot.
Did you overclock your Explorer-thingy?
I mean, over-clocking the CPU, GPU, etc.could have caused the NAND-frying, if you had overclocked them. If you haven't overclocked, then, there is no reason to be worried of.(except for a hard-brick, though.)
Since you told that you followed the NAND recovery procedure, nothing should have happened to your NAND if it wasn't damaged in the first place. But, if it wasnt properly, it would have caused damage.
Anyways, try flashing new recovery, and then, superwipe by akya22, and then, whatever ROM you want to flash.:good:
did everything.
most of the rom is not even starting. i have managed to pass the lockscreen on ateeq rom only ateeq rom is working. i did everything flash recovery and all those reset thingys. but i am getting alot of force crashes and very very low 4mb internal storage. nothing is working correctly. i have not overclocked my cpu. i just flashed CM9 B14 and after that nothing was fine before. i dont understand the cute_prince technique of recovering from nand. i am noob. so help here.

If I paste my code in cmd it doesn't recognize the command. I downloaded adb ,extracted it and then use shell to enter commands one by one and I connected the phone and mounted the sysytem and the commands were executed without any problem except for "su" which says "not found". Other commands seem to work and the last three commands each of the says "100% completed" in the shell. So there doesn't seem to be a problem in the execution of these commands but su doesn't work though. That can be the problem. But I have windows 8 and when I pasted the code in cmd admin , it doesn't recognize so I can't do it that way

Whenever I flash a new rom I wipe each and everything. SO, there is not a problem as far as that is concerned. I tried wipe system command in adb shell and even in terminal emulator in twrp and it gives error wiping a number of memory allocations. Should I try the whole procedure on windows 7?
