Well I have just got my new phone from ATT and rooted it. I AM a beginner though I have flashed PSP's, Iphones, Wii's, etc so I am experienced in general stuff.
When I click on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery on ROM Manager a green line goes through ROM Manager but that is it. It does not install cwm. All I am wanting to do is flash my phone to MHX SUPERLITE for batterylife/speed. Any help?
Could somebody please help me out with this. I have litterally been reading tutorials all night and nothing has helped.
If you can help please contact me here

To install CWM you need to use Odin
First you need to follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
After flashing this through ODIN you have CWM recovery.
After you have CWM, then you flash superuser.zip
Voila. You are rooted and have CWM recovery.
If you need stock recovery you need to ODIN again stock recovery.
Hope this helps

Before I forget. Get a JIG. Once you have it you enjoy peace of mind that you can get into download mode any time you want.
Hi there guys. I'm sorry for openning the new thread, but I just couldn't find the proper one for my question. After (hopely) we solve my problem feel free to delete this thread. I wanted to install Android 4.1 on my Samsung Galaxy Ace Gt -S5830. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868121 I found this one very good. A lot of things are fixed. And I just don't know how to install. So if any of you have enough time to write me step-by-step guide, or if something like that exists on this great forum, please let me know. I want it so bad, cause I like it very very much. But I'm just too afraid to try to intall it on my own, cause im really noob when it comes to system booting etc. Thanks in advance!
Is it a zip package that u can install on recovery boot easy or is it one u need to use some program odin i think on pc btw cyanogenmod 9 goes really slow and f**ks up alot so i had to change back on my ace. If its zip that says something like "cm9 ace ota" you can try going to cwm recovery then i think you wipe cache and dalvik cache b4 or after installing i jus do it both to b sure any way then you go into install zip package and it should install if it doesnt it may say something like unable to parse package it may b corrupt if it says that. If it is an odin install you have to have odin on pc prefferably latest one this should be a guide to installing a rom with odin http://www.darkyrom.com/index.php?threads/flashing-rom-using-odin-step-by-step.7829/ hope it works 4 u.:what::screwy::beer::thumbup:

Btw slong as u have a copy of your original rom if anything stuffs up you should be able to flash original rom on phone with odin also if it gets stuck at boot just wipe dalvik cache and cache if that doesnt work id take sd card card out just in case and factory reset in recovery. U dont need to though but any apps installed on the sd card will b wiped (not saved apks just installed apps) oh forgot u need to install clockwork mod recovery before you do any of this zip package u download and install using stock recovery.
I first want to start off that I am brand new to all of this. I have been reading up about this for a while and finally decided to root my Galaxy S3 the other night. I followed the instructions by Phone Rebel in his Youtube video. I used these files: Download and Install Samsung Official USB Drivers - Link
Download and extract ODIN v3.07 - Link
Download the Zip Below
For Both Root and Unlocked Bootloader ***RECOMMENDED*** – Download SuperSU + Unlocked Bootloader to your SD Card - Link
Download the VRALEC Bootchain - Link
Download one of the below
For ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 6.0.1.2 (Download this to your computer) - Link
For TWRP Recovery 2.3.1.0 (Download this to your computer) - Link
Download the VRBLK3 Bootchain - Link
After completing the root, it automatically installed SuperSU. (not quite sure what it does, again, i'm very new to all of this) After reading up on what to do after you root, I read that it is a good idea to download ROM Manager as well as Mobile ODIN. I installed both, difference being I bought Mobile ODIN Pro.
Using ROM Manager, I tried flashing CWM Touch, I was successful in doing so. However, when I boot into recovery, I get a message stating that ROM will flash back to stock after boot. Do you want to fix? Yes= this can not be undone. No. Or Go Back. I was scared to press yes because I didn't know what it would do. I have not installed any custom ROM because I'm not 100% sure on how to do it so I am not going to take the plung until I know.
Any suggestions or answrs on how to fix this issue would be appreciated. I do want to flash a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod. I've just read that it's a really good custom ROM. Any ROM suggestions will be greatly appreciated as well.
Also, I've read that you have to back up IEML or IMEL? ( I probably butchered that all up, again i'm sorry) I have Titanium Backup, can i do it with that? And if you install a custom ROM do you have to do a wipe of your phone? If so, how do i do that? And if Verizon releases another OTA update, can I accept it or will it brick my device?
Thank you in advance for all your help.
It will ask disable stock recovery flash. You have to say yes else it will flash stock recovery and you will loose the cwm touch recovery which you flashed.
Thanks doesn't hurt....

As for the imei backup, you can not use Titanium Backup. There is a thread which talks about the imei backup and restore process. Try searching for it.
Thanks doesn't hurt....
I am trying to remove any trace of CWM on my rooted Galaxy S3. I rooted it using the Casual Root kit. I did not install CWM for a long time because I had no need of it. When I wanted it, I did not know I had to unlock the bootloader first. What I did was download the ROM Manager and installed CWM from there. It was a clueless move. When it didnt work, I went back to the Casual Rook kit and continued the steps in it to unlock the bootloader and install CWM Touch (I finally figured out that I needed to do it in that order).
Now when i boot into recovery via Rom Manager, I get this error:
# Manual Mode #
-- Applying Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : VZW
Successfully applied multi-CSC
This version of CWM is not the touch version provided by the Casual Root Kit. It is the original one i tried to install in Rom Manager. How can I erase all traces of CWM and CWM Touch and just use the kit. I dont want to flash back to stock, as i am just running the rooted stock.
Thanks in advance. Also, if this is in the wrong thread, let me know where I need to put it.
You could try twrp...install that from goo manager

When you write a new recovery to the recovery partition it will overwrite the old one. You don't have to "clean up" old versions

This is a simple ROM for the Padfone 2, which has been deodexed, rooted (SuperSU), zipaligned, debloated and has busybox installed.
Instructions: Download the zip and flash it through your custom recovery of choice (stock recovery will not work), no need to wipe anything (assuming you're already running kitkat). I would only recommend flashing the kitkat version if you're already on Kitkat, since I haven't tried going straight from my Jelly Bean ROM to Kitkat.

My Padfone2 is running KitKat, rooted (towelroot) but with locked bootloader (since I updated to KitKat and Unlock.apk doesn't work on it).
Can I install your rom through stock recovery?
so we have to update to stock kitkat first?
i am using Guerilla ROM atm.
@rafael_mfr No I'm pretty sure that won't work, I'm pretty sure you can only flash Asus zip files that have the Asus signature with the stock recovery.
@BPM Yes I would only recommend flashing this from kitkat, I haven't tried flashing it from Jelly Bean, so I don't know if it will work or not, but there's a good chance it won't considering that I had problems going from modded Jelly Bean to a slightly modified version of Kitkat.

so i have to flash back to stock => then update to kitkat => then your rom.
3 firmwares to reach the goal ;-(
You shouldn't have to flash back to stock and then flash kitkat, just wipe everything, flash the stock recovery and flash kitkat through there and then flash the custom ROM.

I think this won't work ... Don't know what ASUS did with this KK update, but it just doesn't work when flashed clean. Tried many times (both stock and custom recovery, wiped everything including system) and always got stuck on white ASUS logo. It only works when upgraded from stock Jelly Bean.
So yeah, I'd say 3 ROM flashes are necessary in this case.
I tried to flash to lindenburg's 11.8.3.3-0.zip
From the original Asus kitkat Rom on my Padfone 2
Used power on + volume down
Boot to recovery
Apply update from extended storage
Selected lindenburg's 11.8.3.3-0.zip
Then got system needs to reboot
It started the check to flash
E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any hint on how to flash it to this Rom without bricking my phone?
Flash Lidenburg's 11.8.3.3-0
Hi,
for me it worked using TWRP 2.6.3.0
Regards
Sins my new pc running win 8.1 I have trouble using adb
Can't I do it from my phone the easy way please lol
You're using the stock recovery that's why it's not working, I thought that was common knowledge but since I've had 2 people ask why they're getting that error I guess it's not, I'll edit post to clarify that you need a custom recovery.
Thanks been a few years sins I moded or flashed android
I am missing something
Got me towelroot supersu busybox all successfully installed and working
Installed twrp works too
Select lindenburg's zip to install
Phone boots to recovery I select the zip again and errors stay the same
so I am still missing a custom recovery I reckon
Anyone who can give me a hint on how to get one?
And what way to get it on my phone
Make sure to remove system/etc/install-recovery.sh, otherwise the stock recovery will get flashed automatically again.

well my recovery image of choice was the wrong choice
all i get now is bootscreen that sais on top Invalid Kernel !!!
i used [ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool got it from playstore
selected twrp under recovery and then selected the highest (A68) image version 1.7.1.0 i believe
only hope i did not brick it
any help is greatly appreciated
---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------
and a lionk to a custom recovery image that works on my padfone with kitkat would also be nice if i did not brick it
wel i found the TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery image but fastboot FAILED (remote: can't flash unsigned image)
so now i can only hope someone here can make the original stock recovery image available for download
It sounds a lot like you haven't unlocked the bootloader, have you downloaded the Unlock.apk from Asus' website and followed the instructions in the app?
I linked the stock recovery to this post for you, unzip it and flash it in fastboot.
thanks for helping me out here bro
this keeps me from sending my device to asus
---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------
