Can I install multiple zips from the recovery menu at the same time without rebooting or do I need to reboot after each installation?
I think it depends what you are installing, like rom updates need a reboot to take effect. I supose it would be best to just reboot after each one just incase, say you installed a few at a time and your tab got messed up, you wouldn't know which one had done it.
Hope this helps

you can install .zip files from recovery one after another. It is advisable to reboot on each .zip install. Also do backup before flashing the .zip file in recovery mode
new radios require an immediate reboot, but will go right back into recovery
otherwise they can be flashed one over another.
Some zips will overwrite existing data, so flash in a logical order
my process: radios (not for tabs yet), reboot, flash Rom, kernel, apps (if applicable), misc tweaks (boot animation, build.prop Tweaks, init.d scripts, etc) Reboot

I ve never flashed just a kernel before done other things but not just the kernel. I am assuming the process is the same as a rom
Load the new kernel in the int sd card
Boot to recovery from clockworkmod
Clear cache etc.....
The reinstall the kernel by picking that under reinstall packages
and it should do the rest ?
Pick install zip then choose the zip, let it do it's thing (usually only a few seconds) and reboot. If you pick reinstall packages all that does is install clockwork again.
thanks
Thanks, got it
This may be rather silly, but I am having a lot of trouble flashing from recovery.
My screen just says
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
where do i go to flash a rom?
using the rom manager doesn't work either, it just takes me to the same screen, nothing flashes.

Hit reinstall packages and it should take you into the clockworkmod recovery. Have you even downloaded a rom? Is it on your SD? Do you know how to flash a rom even? Just trying to help
just trying to get all the info so those can better assist you

open ROM Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".....you need clockwork to be flashing
once you do this, everytime you boot into recovery it will take you to the stock recovery that you are seeing. click "renistall packages" and that will take you to Clockwork Recovery (you have to do this everytime).
And to flash through clockwork select "choose .zip to install", and this is where you can select any .zip that is on the root of your sdcard to flash
------------------
not being rude, but you really should be reading tutorials before attempting to flash. It sounds like you are just attempting things and hoping they work. This usually leads to threads titled "Am I bricked? Please help!"......check out the "Vibrant Bible" stickie under the Vibrant Development forum, theres a lot of cool/valuable information to be learned....not to mention a lot of unnecessary headaches to be avoided
I installed CM7.1 manually (flashed the update zip from CWM Recovery), which updated the recovery to 5.0.2.6.
I have since installed ROM Manager, but it shows that I do not have a CWM recovery installed.
How do I get ROM Manager to recognize the 5.0.2.6 recovery that CM7 installed?
I just confirmed I installed manually, though there's only options for 2.xx or 3.xx. I chose 2.xx and doesn't seem to be any problems so far *shrug*
I suggest you forget about ROM Manager and instead use the long press power button menu to go into Recovery and do whatever you need to do there, like clearing caches, fixing permissions, flashing and/or backing up ROMs, etc.

That is a viable work-around, but I am looking for a solution.
I paid for ROM Manager Premium and would like to be able to use it...
I rooted my device using Gingerbreak.
I have 2.2.2 installed out of the box. I installed CWM. I installed busybox.
Busybox failed. I tried all the versions that it contains.
I checked root status, and RootCheckBasic says I'm rooted.
I installed Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. It will not reboot to CWM.
It only reboots to the standard Android recovery.
I'm trying to install Bumblebee ROM 2.4.
Here are some things I am having issues understanding with it...
Backup current apps and their data with Titanium Backup (available in the Market). Is this required? The phone is new. I have nothing to back up.
Do a nandroid backup in recovery before doing anything else below.
And the nandroid backup is done with CWM? Again CWM won't reboot, only the standard Android recovery boots.
Required if installing BB 2.x for the first time: Wipe. Wipe it all. Data, cache, system, dalvik-cache, sd-ext if you've got it (might need to look under Advanced or Mounts in recovery to do the last two, and while you're there format /system). I assume you wipe it all with CWM while in recovery?
If upgrading from BB 2.3, wipe cache (and only cache) in recovery.
Does not apply to me
If not upgrading from 2.3, install Wiper zip (see below), just to be extra sure that all is wiped. Don't reboot yet. Installing wiper.zip is done by sideloading using adb commands?
Install ROM zip (see below).
I assume this too is done by copying the zip to the external SD, then selecting update from SD card in recovery... right?
Please someone shed some light on this for me.
In standard Android recovery it says e3. I know on my Captivate I had to use Odin to install GB loaders to get it to work.
THANKS!
Flashwork mod recovery? Never heard of it.
Try downloading rom manager from the market and use that.
Everything else should be simple

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
It's in rom manager.
Which I installed from the market.
But I don't get the CWM recovery when I reboot into recovery mode.
I get the standard Android recovery
-you know... the one that just has "install update.zip"

Oh, okay, um... are you using the reboot into recovery option in rom manager right after flashing?
After flashing what?
I reboot into recovery through rom manager and get:
Android system recovery <3e>
reboot system now
apply sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
_________________________________________________________
Android System recovery...
Do not pull out the battery!!
After hitting flash clockworkmod recovery, immediately hit reboot recovery
After hitting anything in CWM it did nothing more than reboot into the standard android recovery.
This phone has 2.2.2 on it. Problem? Probably.
I followed instructions at androidcentral and got it to work.
Needed Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM
Installed BACKside-IHO-VM670-11222011
using Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM_Recovery-signed
Had a little problem today and needed to activate the phone. BUUUUT......
the rom didn't allow activation.
So I installed Bumblebee. No go.
Then I tried [rom] basic stock rom.
Neither of these will let my phone boot. It gets stuck at boot.
Nothing happens.
I can still boot into Xiona_CWMA. But no roms will work.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Ok, so I CAN load different recoveries.
They work, or at least seem to.
I can flash roms, but nothing happens (bootloop) or the phone comes on and works with a black screen.
I can call my number and can hear the call, but can't see anything.
Bullet if u found solution pls tell me too

I believe that may be due to the newer display in your phone (I'm new to this device so I dont know much yet). From the little bit of information I've gathered, devices manufactured recently have a different display that requires a kernel that supports it. In the iho roms this is included, on others you'll need to flash a kernel right after the rom.
For the stock rom I can upload what I use if you need it. Its basically the one posted here just with the boot.img swapped with one from a nandroid backup I made before switching roms
I think you're spot on with that idea.
I loaded CM7 variant, and it worked.
My question is, how do I get another ROM on it if it has the newer screen?
I loaded different kernels that were supposed to fix it, but no go.
I have been trying to get to the screen where i can install from sd but it will not let me get to that point. I boot into recovery mode but the options it gives me is
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal sd-card
the letters are blue..................
can some help me out????? i want to install a different rom but i can't get to the install rom from sd option
Thanks
Download cwm rom manager from the manager, and install the recovery.
After that you can install the rom you desire!
i tried that and still same result. I have install other roms before but now it wont let me get to the install from sd screen
You should probably learn how to flash back to stock first (instructions are in many of the Guides). If you are flashing roms, eventually something will go wrong, and you will need to reflash to stock, or at least install a new kernel and recovery. Using Odin or Heimdall to install a kernel is part of the instructions for installing CM. Better to have Odin and the JFD file on hand when your phone bricks or boot-loops.

Select reinstall packsges....you may have to do it twice then you should be out of stock recovery and into clockwork recovery

You can download CWR from my signature and put it on your internal SD. Put the update.zip on the internal and make sure it is only thing labeled .zip on there. Hit Reinstall Packages, let it cycle then hit it again. Recovery will go from blue to green and then you can install ROM from SD.
+1 on the reading and how to install ROMs. Plus while you are in CWR, go to Backup/Restore and do a nandriod backup.
Good luck.
i have all that and have gone back to stock and everything. still same results

What these guys have told you has worked time and time again for most everyone else. What I would recommend is that you get the AIO toolbox. Everything you need in a one-stop-shop.
