Hey friends, I wonder if my steps on rooting and installing cmw is correct
Step 1) root phone without unlocking bootloader using freezr method
Step 2) install cmw recovery
Step 3) create a second sd partition via cmw recovery and flash dartremor a2sd or ungaze data2sd?(I will try and experiment this if it work, if it does not work tell me)
Step 4) thats it? And maybe update my phone from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4?
Thanks

Hmm step of installing custom recovery is missing
Sent from my LG-P500
i want to install the kernel only for the lag fix...... not custom rom (for now unless i see the 2.3 update)........
and as i guess..... installing kernel and installing a custom rm are two different things.....
any kernel can be installed with any rom......
correct me if im wrong......

But you do require custom recovery to flash the kernel from. It depends on the rom and the kernel. Certain kernels cannot be flashed with few roms.
Have you installed the custom recovery first? and if not then that key combination would reset your phone.
hey... if i root my phone with "gingerbreak"....... will it not let me to enter the recovery mode on pressing the 3 button at startup.....????
and bit confused between custom recovery and custon rom.....????

Gingerbreak only roots your phone. You need to install custom recovery which allows you to flash custom kernels and roms.
HOME + VOL DOWN + POWER key combination would reset your phone if you don't have custom recovery installed. Rooting just gives you superuser access.

Custom recovery is a must, for installing kernels and roms xd
all seem ok... but here is the order i did it in!
1.root using gingerbreak
2.Instal custom recovery with ROM manager, cmw recovery installed
3.Put the kernel in sd card, flash from recovery!
Job done! happy Flashing!
Steps which I followed.
1. Install "Gingerbreak" and root your phone.
2. Switch to Android Keyboard.
3. Back up all the data using Titanium backup.
4. Paste the kernel zip on SD card.
5. Install "Terminal Emulator."
6. Download amon_ra_recovery_installer.zip
7. Extract the contents of the above zip file to the root of your SD card.
8. Open "Terminal Emulator." and type "su" command and the superuser will ask you for permission, grant it and you can notice that the "$" sign will change into "#".
9. Type
Code:
sh /sdcard/rf.sh
and press Enter. The phone will reboot into custom recovery.
10. Create a NAND backup.
11. Flash the kernel zip.
12. Reboot.
Happy Flashing

That's an easy way to do it But dont forget to make a NAND backup after installing your chosen recovery! [very important]. This will be the key to restoring your phone in case anything goes wrong when flashing your chosen kernel (or ROM).

I have wt19i and wanna install this hybrom v12..
.fw v58.. roted and unlocked using doomlord zerg v4..
could someone explain me step by step what i must do
to install this hybrom 12?
any video, maybe?
any of 100 views know how?
Try this
Installation instructions
Needs unlocked bootloader
(actually hybrom does not contain a boot image.Thus, when you install hybrom you don't mess with your boot image at all.BUT recovery from nAa is installed in /system and while system is formated during the installation of hybrom,recovery messes with it self.That's why unlocked bootloader is necessary for now to install hybrom)
Copy the zip file to your SD card
Reboot your device in CWM
Make a full data wipe-factory reset
Wipe cache and Dalvik cache
Choose install zip from sd card
Wait for installation to end
Reboot
(First reboot after installation might take a while and screen gets totally black after boot animation is displayed for about a minute or twnly on first reboot)
Reboot a second time
Enjoy!
(If anyone gets stuck at se logo at first reboot,he should try this also: First make the data wipe, then install,then shutdown the device.Turn it on after about 10sec)
(Tested and confirmed by chrisbymoningka for v7)

Sorry no time for step by step but you can try my way:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Update to .62 by flasttool
3. Install b kernel (made by bbooff himself)
4. Install Hybrom
-> done
Then you can install others kernel if you like

Is there any way to install CWM without ROM manager? I get a download error when trying to flash CWM via ROM manager app.
Is there a way I can download it and flash either via ODIN or stock recovery.
Please let me know.
Currently I have recover 2e because of being on version 2.1, baseband: T959UVJFD, ECLAIR.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated! Thanks.
Please read newb guide as your answer is there

In the newbie guide you will find what you need. Clockwork mod runs as update.zip, and as long as you have that file on the root of your sd card (phone memory, not external), you have cwm, and do not need to install via rom manager.
Edit: you can download the update.zip here http://sourceforge.net/projects/stockodinjfd/files/update.zip/download
And the newbie guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028

Hi guys! I had installed CWM Recovery this morning, but after wiping and installing this rom I can't boot in recovery anymore and I don't like this rom..
My phone has locked bootloader. Now, i have this room working, but if I install X-Parts it says that my phone is not supported
Any ideas? I triyng to fix it since 04.00pm and I can't solve it!
Help please
flashing a rom wipes your system partition which wipes your recovery. because you haven't flashed a kernel that includes a recovery. x parts installs recovery mode to your system partition. There's a CWM flashable zip for the recovery in themes and apps section. download it first. You can open that zip and copy the files in to your device. then you can have a recovery.
Remember to flash that zip whenever you flash another rom before exiting recovery mode.
or use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190

sk17i CWM
Hi all,
After spending 1 week and trying most methods to install CWM on my Xperia x10 sk17i without any success, the only method that worked was downloading and installing CWM auto installer.apk on my phone.
Thank you for all those posting comments on XDA to help others.
Hi all I recently rooted my Micromax A116 and desperately need help with following:
1. I used RootGenius to root my phone. I now want to wipe my phone and do a factory reset. I've already backed up important stuff but now need the phone to be as good as new (with root access). How do I go about doing this?
2. Once it's reset, which recovery and rom am I supposed to use? The threads here use other root methods so I don't know what works with what I used. Do I even need a custom rom?
Please talk to me like I'm five because I've basically 0 understanding of all this.
Can someone please help?
Can someone at least tell me if it would be safe to unroot, do a factory reset via settings and then re-root again?
Please help me, I'm desperate.

The first thing you need to do is to install a custom recovery which can be twrp or cwm according to your liking and then download flashable zips of any rom and
go by the instructions given in the rom thread

Why would you want to unroot when you have nothing to install.? doing factory reset simply has no advantages!

Ok but my phone is already rooted but the instructions on the rom threads are for both root+recovery. So I'm concerned if I try to re-root on top of an already rooted device it will cause problems. So what can I do to just install recovery only? there are no instructions for that.

do the following steps..
1.download and install mobileuncle tools.
2.download the latest recovery which you want... either cwm 6.0.5.1 or twrp 2.8.3.0.
3.place the recovery in your sd card in the open i.e., it should not be in any folder.
4. rename the file to recovery. hence the file will be recovery.img.
5.open mobile uncle tools, go to recovery update.
6. 1st option will show the recovery in your sd card.
7.click on it... then press ok... then reboot.
8.Done!

Thank you for replying...I had given up and wasn't expecting a reply at all so didn't check for last few weeks.
So where can I download the latest version of cwm? there seem to be so many versions and most seem device specific. I'm not able to figure out Edit I've downloaded an older version which is mentioned that it works for micromax a116, is it safe to download a later version if its not specified it works with this phone?
