Where to start.. In CWM after save villain on SD, just flash update.zip?
Coming from Another ROM
Ensure CWM recovery is available, do a CWM/nandroid backup and titanium backup, and put the zip onto the root of the internal SD.
Enter CWM, carry out a factory reset, and cache wipe, and flash the ROM via "Install zip from SD" option.
Reboot the phone into VillainROM, bearing in mind the first boot may take some time on the boot animation.

1. download and copy the villian zip file to your sd card after making a back up of your data.
2. go into cwm- boot into recovery, clean cache. Stay in recovery mode.
3. go advanced and clean dalvik cache. Stay in recovery mode
4 select install zip file.
5. choose zip from sd card, scroll down to the zip file you have download.
6. select and agree to install.
7. let it install, scroll back up to reboot system.
8. rom will install it may take up to 5 minutes for the first install.
You can scrool up down in recovery mode by using the volume keys. power button or homke button selects depending on what version of cwm you have.
back button returns you back on screen.

Lol, how did you expect to enter recovery if you didn't flash it?
You need to flash the recovery first
work on getting the recovery flashed before installing custom ROMS. You can opt to choose Clockwork (ROM manager) through market or Amonra.. either ways would be fine.
Then go with the usual flashing after your done with the recovery.
Simplest thing is just go to market.
Search for Rom manager. after install click on it.
Then when it opens press the 1st from the top and you have ClockworkMod.
For flashing the ROM. Find the rom in file explorer or any file manager and click on it, it will prompt for rom manager. click rom manager and wipe dalvik cache and Wipe Data and cache..
No worries ,just install Rom-Manager -> flash clockwork mod recovery.
Then it will notify succesfully flashed clockwork mod recovery..
Try three buttons combo..
It will work .
hoping it will solve your problems.

Yes, IMO ROM manager is the easiest to install...a bit of a user friendly
I rooted my phone months back and last week installed Olympus triten Rom with beats ultimatly decided I didn't like it and tried to install infectedrom eternity 3.5.
I did a factory reset erased as card then downloaded the Rom and installed via recovery. But whenever. I start my phone I get the beats bootbscree. From Olympus. Also tried to install the infected theme for infectedrom via recovery and it just bricks.the phone.
Here's how to fix it:
I'll assume you are using TWRP recovery. If you are using clockworkmod, it will be similar. If you use ROM Manager, you have clockworkmod. If you don't know/didn't install one, you have TWRP.
1. Turn phone completely off
2. remove battery and put it back in
3. Boot into bootloader - Hold volume down and power until it boots into a menu
It might say no PG86IMG found. Ignore that.
4. Use volume down to navigate to the RECOVERY option
5. Press power to select it when it is highlighted
The recovery will load. Once you see a black menu, continue.
Notes for when you are in recovery: Use volume down+up to navigate and press power to select options.
6. Again, use volume down or volume up to navigate to the wipe menu
7. Select 'Wipe Everything'
8. Once it's done wiping, leave the wipe menu if you are still in it.
9. Go to Install Zip
10. Select infectedROM
11. Select 'Flash Zips Now'
12. Zip will flash
13. Reboot after flash
If you are using clockworkmod...
After getting into recovery:
Notes for when you are in recovery: Use volume down+up to navigate and press power to select options.
1. Wipe everything
2. select install zip
3. select infected ROM zip
4. Select yes to confirm
5. Zip will flash
6. After flash, reboot
Notes for when flashing a new rom:
-You don't need to erase SD card. In fact, it's recommended you don't.
-Instead of factory resetting, wipe through the recovery using the steps above. It is more effective.
-If the problem still isn't fixed, download infectedrom again and try flashing it.
Have fellowed the steps according to Liberty3 For The Droid X2 post, did manage to get the phone rooted, stuck at the recovery part. i assume i should get in "Android recovery", which is the only recovery option i get, then i did wipe data/ factory reset. but when come to select "install zip from sdcard"
-select "choose zip from sdcard"
i dont have those options, what i have is apply sdcard:update.zip
then i figured i would just change the name to update.zip. which didnt work, stuck again because it wont take the signature. so what should i do?
Are you using the bootstrap recovery or stock recovery?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
You cannot use the stock recovery to install a ROM. You need to download BSR (Bootstrapped Recovery); which can be downloaded from here: http://www.bandbinnovations.com/xda/DX2/Bootstrap_signed.apk
Once you have that, you need to move it to your SD card and install the app. Here's a step-by-step instruction.
1. Download Bootstrapped Recovery (BSR). http://www.bandbinnovations.com/xda/DX2/Bootstrap_signed.apk
2. Move the Bootstrap_signed.apk to your SD card and install it. *Go to Settings>Applications and make sure Unknown Sources is Checked!*
3. Afterwards, open the app and Press 'Allow' when it asks for root access.
4. Press "Install Recovery".
5. Plug your phone into a WALL Charger! This MUST be a wall charger.
6. Once you've done that, press "Recovery Mode" and your phone will reboot into your new, custom recovery.
7. Now once your in there you can do Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, and then in 'Advanced' you can do Wipe Dalvik Cache.
8. Once you've finished that, go to 'Install ZIP from SD', then choose the SD your Liberty ROM is on.
9. Select the ROM and allow it to install completely. It will tell you to reboot once it's done.
NOTE: Because you wiped the Caches and installed a ROM this will be a LONG reboot. It can take up to 5-7 minutes for it to finish completely, so please give it time.
That should be what you need to do to fix your problem. The Stock Recovery will only flash things signed my Motorola, like updates. A custom ROM obviously isn't signed by Motorola - thus not allowing you to flash it.
The Custom, or 'hacked' Recovery bypasses this and allows you to do it anyways. Hope this helped!
got it working, thx everyone
Hi...
I am from Portugal and i have my Optimus One in 2.3.3 stock, already rooted.
I am thinking in try the GTR v3x and some CM. (These roms are made for the new baseband?)
I want to someone correct me if these are not the right way of doing the process of flashing...
have a rooted device
instal rom manager
instal clockworkmod via rom manager.
copy .rar to the sd (root?)
turn off
Home + Vol Down + Power
wipe what the developer say and the flash it.
Also, i want to know if the process of flashing unlock the phone (SIM Locked)?
Sorry for opening the threat and thanks in advance
Hi,
Your process is correct, however I would do it a bit differently to be honest.
Yes, I would install clockwork mod through ROM Manager. And boot it up using home + vol dwn + power.
To navigate, use the menu button to move down, and home button to move up in CWM. The back button is for back and search button for select.
To prepare installing a rom, I would do these in order:
Code:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Format /system/ by going into 'mounts and storage'
Wipe Dalvik Cache and Battery stats under 'Advanced'
Also, the rom should be a zip file, not a rar. I'm sure you meant zip in your post.
To flash the rom after wiping those stuff above^, just select 'Install zip from sd' from the main menu, and select the first option to select the zip file from your sd, and then find your rom.zip file and flash.
Then you're done. You can flash kernels and other stuff through this method too, just don't erase anything unless you're installing a new rom, as there's no need to.
Also make sure you have the right baseband for the rom

Here it is
This method has worked for me numerous of times after coming back from another ROM, or when I just miss using Slimbean....
IF your in stock, and want a clean memory on phone You may use this code to reformat the SDCard *2767*3855# (type on dialer) will delete everything)
phone memory=internal memory
put update.zip http://sourceforge.net/projects/stockodinjfd/files/update.zip/download
on your phone memory.
Download slimbean vibrant 4.2.2 ROM ONLY and put it on your phone memory ***no need to download gapps for 4.2.2 if your not going to use the rom***
put slimbean 4.3.1. official 2.2. on phone memory
put gapps 4.3 also in phone memory if your going to be using gapps...
alright,
1.
Unplug the USB (assuming you are still connected after using ODIN)...
Hold down volume up + volume down + Power for about 9 seconds.
If you prefer, you can power off your phone, then hold in all 3 buttons to boot into recovery, I don't see the point in waiting for the phone to power off.
This will get you to a recovery menu (blue/purple text) after some yellow text.
2.
In this (the stock recovery menu) select 'Reinstall Packages'
Use volume to navigate + power to select.
3.
It will cycle a bit, you will see that yellow text again, then it will return to the stock recovery. Select Reinstall packages again.
You are now in CWR (clockwork recovery).
4. install 4.2.2
during this installation your boot will random boot. If stuck on vibrant logo, remove battery and go to recovery mode. This means Semaphone kernel was installed. semaphore recovery should come up
5. factory wipe/ system clear/ etc, ***wipe how you would wipe everything to go get a clean flash***
6. install slimbean 4.3.1
*Optional, then install gapps 4.3 ***if you dont install gapps you wont have google playstore unless you use apk***
7. wipe cache & dalvik cache
reboot
load time 3-6 mins, let it breath....
Hit thanks if it worked for you
thanks all sloved problem
