Rooted. Tried to install the latest ota system update but on reboot hung. Showed a white triangle with blue android. What does this mean and how should I complete the security update? Booted into recovery but only shows sdcard options.
It's because you have S-OFF.
Download update > select 'install later' > reboot into recovery > install from .zip (the file you selected to 'install later' is under 'downloads' somewhere I believe) > select zip > done.
I had the same problem..
Thanks for the explanation. Was successful locating, then moving the update to a visible directory. Tried to install update in recovery but failed. It was for friendstream. I deleted the apk (along with facebook etc) months ago. Is there information as to why the update is necessary besides friendstream?

Hiya. I have recently upgraded to streakdroid 1.8.1. After install it, I found out that I could not rotate in the home screen. After what I read its caused by the gingerbread launcher. Correct me if I am wrong. I try to reinstall streakdroid 1.8.1 with the option of "adwlauncher". However, the launcher did not seem to have changed for some reason.
I follow these instruction for the installation:
2.0 > OVERVIEW/SUMMARY OF INSTALLATION PROCESS
1.Download update-1.8.1.zip from the links below
2.Place Zip file into Root of SD Card
3.Make a text file and type in the options you would like to chose as shown above.
4.Save file under SDCard>install.txt
5.Boot into StreakMod or Clockwork Recovery
6.Select Update from Zip File > Select Zip File From SD Card > update-1.8.0.Zip
7.Wait for installation.
8.First Boot may take longer than a normal boot. Things are being installed, stuff is being generated. Patience.
9.Enjoy.
The install.txt file only contain the word "adwlauncher"
Could someone tell me how to fix the home screen rotation? Thanks
Did you tried it from settings -> display
You can also try resetting streak to factory settings (don't do from the option of recovery but from stock reset option )

So, i am trying to load this new ROM (the Vicious rom). I go into clockwork recovery & select install zip from sdcard, then i choose zip from sdcard, & instead of loading the new rom it says: Finding Update package, opening update package, installing update package, then it is complete....how do i get it to load the rom?
additional info:
I cannot install any ROM now, it runs through this short update process I explained above. Am I missing something that allows the rom to be loaded?
That's how roms are installed. Did you reboot after you installed the rom?
i had issues with clockwork so i used team win recovery here-- http://www.mediafire.com/?ye85b3n1f72nen3
Maybe try this one and see if it helps just put on root of sd card
make sure it is named PG05IMG.ZIP go into the bootloader
by shutting down phone rstarting by holding down volume arrow then power till it comes up in bootloader and do the update

Either you are choosing apply sdcard:update.zip accidentially instead of "install zip from sdcard" or you still have a PG05IMG on your sdcard? If you still have that img on your card, you will have to hook your phone up to your computer > boot into recovery > mounts and storage > mount sdcard > enable usb and find that IMG and delete it. Then go back do your wipes, and install zip from sdcard.
Try redownloading the ROM in case it may have been corrupted during the original download.
im following this tutorial,
Unrooting for 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5/2.3.6/2.3.7 (Thanks to ingbrzy):
1) Download attached file called unroot.zip and copy it to your sdcard
2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Select update from sdcard, select the file unroot.zip
5) After the update completed - reboot
6) Now you have unrooted S5830
im stuck in part 4 since i choose that and it says theres nothing, says no such file or directory. so i selected the option "install zip from sd card"> "choose zip form sd file" and there i choose unroot.zip and says install complete. then i reboot. but still i can use supermanager and cmw so its not applying. and even when i boot the phone in recovery mode again it apperas as cmw recovery. i need to unroot the phone so i can take it back to store since the wifi is getting an error and the screen goes black when im using it.
Unrooting does not remove CWM recovery .
To remove CWM you need to flash any firmware file via ODIN
Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.

CWM is not an application to get su access..Download RootChecker from market and see if you are unrooted..If you want to remove CWM,like emoboiix3 said,Flash an odin package
me
I tried by trying a root required app like root explorer
Even though clockwork ROM Manager is installed,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager
When I try to run it - it says: "you must have ClockwordMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery thropugh ROM Manager first"
Normally you would just download it but how is this done on a phone without internet connection, can I download the .apk file somewhere then move it to phone? Android phones are Motorola Cliq and CliqXT.

ClockworkMod recovery is not an application (.apk file). It's an image file. You can get the images here: http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager.
Thank you. How do you install the capability to run the image recovery process by simply running it from the ClockwordMod App, not by manually rebooting?
In other words, on a phone with internet access, you simply "Install the recovery thropugh ROM Manager first".
But how do you install it manually without internet access. How do you install the image file you linked to?

See here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Motorola_Cliq:_Full_Update_Guide and follow the "Installing a Custom Recovery Image" section. Change the names as needed.
I'm not sure we understand each other so let me try to clarify and by the way thanks for your help:
Goal:
1. From within running CynogenMod launch ROM Manager >
2. Manage and Restore Backups >
3. Select exiting backup > Restore > OK
It automatically reboots and does its thing.
So now, if you have a phone on which ROM Manager is not installed, you install it and launch it from already running CyanogenMod *however* you get this message:
"you must have ClockwordMod Recovery installed"
It then simply downloads something and from then on you are able to use the ROM Manager to restore existing backups not by custom rebooting but by simply running it from within a running CyanogenMod.
Isn't the image file you linked to for custom booting into the restore environment from which you run the restore? I am trying to "run" the restore by simply lunching the ROM Manager which then itself reboots and runs the restore automatically.
What is it exactly that is installed when you get this message so that I can install it on a phone without an internet connection.
I know how to custom boot by holding the button etc. I just want to not custom boot and have it launch automatically by simply using a shortcut and launching the restore process which itself reboots and does its thing.

The image I linked to is the "thing" Rom Manager downloads when it gives that message (if you have an internet connection). Flashing that file and linking it to Rom Manager will remove that error.
Got it.
Selecting Flash ClockworkMod Recovery from ROM manager to try to use the img file you linked to results in an "error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection..."
So that does not work for the thread topic, which is doing this w/o internet connection.
Will try the Android SDK Tools method.
0. The Cliq XT is known as Zeppelin.
1. Install Motorola USB drivers:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
2. Install Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/
3. Get Android SDK zip: http://developer.android.com/sdk/
4. Unzip it and start SDK Manager.exe and download Android SDK Tools.
5. Get ClockworkMod Recovery, for example:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.5-zeppelin.img
Copy recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.5-zeppelin.img to
Android SDK folder android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
7. Phone Settings > Applications > Unknown sources (select green check mark to activate it)
Settings > Applications > Development > Enable USB Debugging
Make sure the phone is rooted. Check if Superuser icon is in the drawer menu.
*** Connect the phone to computer but DO NOT enable USB Drive ***
8. Use DOS to navigate to the android-sdk-windows\platform-tools directory
for example, if the folder location is C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
then in type this in DOS:
c:
cd android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
adb shell
su
***You must press on Allow on the phone when prompted***
cd /sdcard/
flash_image recovery recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.5-zeppelin.img
Hello. Apologies for the Noobie question. I am a NOOB.
Am trying to run OTA leaked update on my Droid Razr. I have gone through all the steps of SPC-Hicks09 guide to installation without a hitch, until it comes to step 15:
15. Now in stock recovery, select "install update from external sdcard."
When I get to here, Android System Recovery (3d) menu comes up, and I get this option instead: Apply update from Ext Storage.
Then Chose package to install:/Sdcard, and I highlight "Blur Version...."
But instead of installing, then it drills down to another menu, "Choose package to install"...through all the folders (down to Google and Android)
without any update bat or action happening.
Anyone have a suggestion on where I have gone wrong?
[note 1: Why don't I get asked "apply update from SD Card"?]
[note 2: When I connect my phone to PC as a media device, I show Internal Storage and SD Card; Blur Version 6.16.211 which I downloaded directly from the link, is showing up as a folder (not a zip)
Thanks! Bienbien
never mind
With a good file browser, found zip file and moved it to sdcard-ext...and deleted the unzipped folder. Updated fine.
