It seems like everytime i flash a new rom.or update my rom i get to the cwm screen through rom manager. When i want to add an extra(advance power mod) iy takes me to the white (fastbot/hboot?) Screen and i hit bootloader and it finds an update... I know that it will reset my rom and put me bqck to stock if i continue with the update... I just dont get y i cant always jist get to the "black cwm" screen where i am when i flash a new rom? I used to be able to go into rom manager and "boot into recovery" which takes me.to the black normal cwm screen. Now it goes to this white screen with the skating android on the bottom where it wants to update crap. Any help?

Remove (or rename) the PD98IMG.ZIP from your SDCARD. It's finding that and trying to install it.

That's fine. It won't mess anything up. It just needs to NOT see PD98IMG.zip, however you want to go about it...rename, move, delete. The result is the same.

Not to insult your intelligence, but are you sure you have cwr flashed? Perhaps try reflashing it?
I've never uninstalled ROM manager, so I don't know how that affects cwr, whether the stock recovery gets put back on or not, but Rom manager, with a working cwr, should at least get you where you want to go.

I cannot install Google Apps for some reason. I tried clean installs, fresh wiped caches and data, and flashed from CWM/Recovery. Did not work.
What do I do now? I have Mac OS X and I have adb and fastboot.

Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App

@acmys, I think you might be expecting the Gapps installation to also include all the Google apps. Gapps only gets you the Market app and the automated Google Apps installer that pops up during the initial boot (that is why the Gapps file is only 5 MB - it doesn't have much in it other than the Market and the initial welcome stuff). You still have to manually download gmail, maps, voice, etc. either during that initial boot or you can do it later when you're on wi-fi. So if you've already got the Market app, then you are good to go. If I misunderstood you and you're not even getting the Market app, then disregard everything I just said.

Yup no market

Is there anyplace I can download an APK of market? for inspire?

No root after MIUI flash

I obtained root via Odin as superoneclick didn't work. Then i flashed the latest version on MIUI and I lost root access. A couple of forums said superuser needs to be enabled in the settings. However when I opened superuser and looked under preferences there was no toggle to enable it.

There is an app in tools called Superuser, not the one you download from market. It will have the enable toggle.

3: Flash kernel via sgs kernel flasher "unchecked the reboot button" when done flashing turn phone of "SHUTDOWN"
4: 3 finger until the Samsung logo pops up keep holding the buttons the screen will go black then Samsung logo will come up, let go of the power button and keep hold the volume up and down buttons "For about 20 seconds" then let go it should boot into Red CWM after a few seconds.
5: Go to install zip from SD card go all the way down and run update.zip it will boot back into RED CWM run update.zip again and it should now boot into GREEN CWM
6: From here Re-Flash MIUI "New Release would be smart", Wipe Fact,Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Flash, reboot at sign of Samsung logo pull battery, 3 finger into blue recovery and flash again.
7: Presto you should be set and have recovery back.

The app in my tools folder has no toggle and I can't use sgs kernel flasher cause I don't have root access... I didn't download superuser from the market

Everybody needs to read we have answered this same question over 20 times in the last week lol.. Do not use the downloadable super user app. When you flash miui there's a tools folder in that there's a super user app, click on it got menu button on bottom of phone, click turn root on. NOW YOU HAVE ROOT. Second follow my instructions to get recovery back there on the first page of Jordan's post and also posted in this thread. If anyone who is having these problems is reading this please research and check threads before over posting questions. Thanks

And for recovery 3 finger your way in. Press them all at the same time hold the power button make sure it reboots the. The let go of the power button. But keep on holding the volume buttons. Recovery is there you just have to reach it.

Oh with all due respect I have read all of it... and I know how to get recovery back, but it's kinda hard to flash recovery kernel when kernel flasher requires root! Trust me I tried everything I knew before I posted....

Then just Odin back to stock. Opimus most people like myself are flashing Jordan's MIUI just fine. I did lose recovery, but I got fixed with LGs fix. Dman I hope you get it fixed.

At least in my case, I agree something is not right with rooting after I updated to MIUI-Infuse-1.10.14. The superuser app is different then last week's (1.10.7) and no apps show up in the approved list.
I reloaded last week's MIUI-Infuse-1.10.7 and the apps show up in the MIUI list but some apps work ok...others don't. Went back to 1.10.14, same problem.
I think I'll wait till this week's update and then start trying some of the solutions already posted. yeha!!

Thank you cajun that's what I thought I would have to do, just thought someone would have an easier solution before I went thru the pain of reverting back to stock... the thing is everything was great with all the other updates until I updated to 1.10. 14. Then everything went bye bye.. lol.. thanks for the help everyone you guys are really great and helpful.

What is the best recovery we have ?

Hi I'm using CMW currently and I don't think It's fully setup for our phone and the issue I'm having I can't charge my phone with the power off when I try to the phone powers on when I plug it in and boots to recovery by itself. I tried koush cmw and I'm currently using mondaco cmw I think It's called same issue with both it also just feels like there isn't enough options.
I just download goomanager from the play market and I'm thinking of trying TWRP I read that the back ups between twrp and cmw aren't compatible so I'll just make an extra back up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm using TWRP now after using cwm for the last month. I think TWRP has better support for the hos. Never had this charging issue though.

TWRP is good, very nice features! BUT : It is not compatible with Aroma for now, so, as many packages (applications, some ROMs...) uses it, I went back to Touch CWM (5.8.3.1) for compatibility reasons, which is also a very good and "standard" flavor.

It works with Aroma now, I used it with the TweakMachine

I really liked his recovery--donated too--nice themes--

I installed TWRP the phone can charge with the power off now, and I like the different options more, this will hold me over until 4ext. When flashing new recoveries are battery stats lost ? Should you wipe battery stats ? Or no.

It does charge in recovery. HTC phones more or less have the booting up into recovery problem/issue/feature??? after installing cwm. I wipe battery stats after every new rom I flash after its fully recharged.

TWRP is awesome. I've only used cwm for years. When I got this phone I gave TWRP a go and can't go back.
Flashing roms without needing to fast boot the img is awesome. The look is awesome, themes are cool. All the extra features like built in file manager, great!
Sent from my HTC One S

I was also having the issue of not being able to charge while the phone was off without it booting into recovery. I seemed to have "fixed" the problem by turning on Fast Boot in the Power settings menu.
I may try TWRP, since it seemed like CWM always had one issue or another on my old HTC Evo, and this charging issue isn't a big thing but isn't helping me trust it

I'm using the classic non-touch cwm. I had issues restoring nandroid's with twrp so switched to cwm, which i had been using happily on my previous phones.

[APP][CYANOGEN MOD] File Manager!!! :D

The CyanogenMod team has been making good progress towards the latest, stable version of its ROM - CyanogenMod 10 - but there's still time for more features to be added before its eventual release.
One of those features is a root-enabled file manager, which was announced on the Cyanogen Google+ page a few hours ago. Judging from the screenshots, it looks to blend in seamlessly with other CyanogenMod features and the rest of the Android OS, with a really nice looking interface. (Screenshots Below)
When you're browsing through your files, you will be able to choose between three access modes: Safe mode, Prompt User mode and Root Access mode. As you'd expect, it will allow you to view files on your internal storage device as well
you can get the apk here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?do5c710wiwcxwps
Simply copy to system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r--
Enjoy

Edit: Reread your post.never mind.

Opens up fine but everytime i open the app it searches for the sdcard for quite some time..
Also when i try to switch from Safe Mode to Root Access Mode, after granting the SU permission it goes back to safe mode instead of Root access
This is happening maybe cause its specifically modded for CM9
Edit: tried the modded apk on Numa btw, and the apk posted by the OP worked fine for me on cm10

On OTA ICS I get safe mode only. My phone is rooted. How do I switch to normal mode?

will try tq
