After flashing clockworkmod recovery via rom explorer my phone will not boot into clockworkmod recovery- only the stock android recovery mode. I did notice that the clockworkmod "recovery-update.zip" file contains files that *look* like they want to be in the root directory (ie /sbin/*), but some of these files do not exist in my root directory. I'm guessing maybe that rom manager did not successfully extract the contents of this zip file? Should I manually copy the contents of this zip file over to my root directory?
When you boot into recovery from ROM Manager..you may need to hit "reinstall packages" a couple of times
yup
Thanks, that did it.

Okay, i know the risks, but i hate amon ra for some reason.
I know i can install clockwork through rom manager but does anyone have the latest clockwork for the eris that i can fastboot to my phone? or is there a way to take it from rom manager after i download it?
Here you go: recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-desirec.img
If you want to have access to both when cold starting the phone here's a trick you can use:
ROM Manager puts a zip file named "recovery-update.zip" in the /sdcard/clockworkmod folder on your SD card; make a copy of it in the root folder (/sdcard/) .
Then, when you cold-boot into (Amon_RA) recovery, flash that file first and the clockwork menus will appear. This has the advantage that you will have both Amon_RA and clockwork available to you - that "flash" doesn't touch the recovery partition, it just patches the live boot - exactly what ROM Manager does when you "warm boot" into recovery from ROM Manager.
cheers
Yeah, as much as I like ClockWork Mod Recovery, I've never had one problem with it, and so on, I would never actually want to flash it; not when it's so easy to load from Amon RA as it is through ROM Manager.

whoa i didnt know that!!! i like it, thank you!!!
I bought my tablet Sunday, and have been trying to install Clockworkmod for 3 days now. I follow the steps listed here and from videos in YouTube. I install recovery folder and update.zip to root, when looking at the recovery folder in windows explorer of the root folder on the tablet, there is a comand in the folder. But, when looking at the recovery folder with ES file explorer(?) there is nothing in the folder. I cannot get into clockworkmod when booting into recovery.
What am I doing wrong??
I have successfully rooted a HTC Aria (thanks to these forums) and my SE Experia X10a. But for god's sake, cannot figure out how to install ClockWorkMod on this tablet....
Not sure if this is in the right section but i used this to load clockwork. You should have two files on the root of your card, one recovery folder with a a command file in it and the update.zip to install when you boot into recovery and it can load clockwork. Hope it helps

Moved to question and answer
I've been trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi but keep running into the same error.
I push'd the root zip file package into /sdcard via ADB. I can see this file when I browse the directory with a file manager.
The problem is I can't install the zip via the stock recovery because it won't mount sdcard. I get the following error when I select "install zip": unknown volume for path [/sdcard]
Anyone have any ideas? I'm on a Mac with no Windows machine around, so it seems my options are pretty limited.
Does anyone know of a way to manually flash clockworkmod without root? It doesn't look like there's any other way to install the root zip in the stock recovery. Am I just screwed?
Why is it that some boot animations can be installed from recovery and other must be installed by adb? What makes them different?
It's just the packaging that changes. With clockworkmod recovery, the bootanimation's creator has created an update.zip file containing the bootanimation.zip file for people that don't know how to use adb or just maybe they like this way better.
People who distribute their bootanimations directly just don't bother to make an update.zip for clockworkmod users and let people choose the way to install the bootanimation.zip file (via adb remount/push, via creating yourself a CWM update.zip, via copying on your sd card then moving with a file explorer on the phone...).
Anyway, eventually you end up having the bootanimation.zip file copied into /system/media/.
Im trying to flash a file from twrp but the files simply don't appear in it. It appear only when I access it through the computer.
Anyway, how to change that ?
maybe because the file is not a flashable zip? With TWRP you can flash flashable zip or img files for partitions.. Also, be sure to access the /sdcard from the TWRP file manager when you tap Install. If it's and External SD you could have to mount it before..
EDIT:
Last but not least, if you are sure the zip is flashable you could use sideload.. From TWRP go to Advanced / Sideload and start sideload.. Open a command prompt into your PC and with the device attached to it use
Code:
adb sideload G:/whatever/the/file/is/into/your/PC/file.zip
Naturally you need adb

It says "failed". Despite that, even if it was an image, shouldn't I see the file at least ? There's an option in twrp which I can choose between zip and images...
The file is the XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk, xposed-v86-sdk23-arm.zip.asc and eu.chain.fire.supersu_v2.78-278_Android-2.1.apk
No one is a zip as you can see..

You should download zip file instead of the asc file if you want to flash the xposed framework.the apk files you have to install it on the phone and you don't have to flash it on the recovery
