I have a question regarding updating a rom. I notice in cwm recovery there is an option to "apply update from zip" and "install zip". Is there a difference when updating from say, version 1.0 to 1.1 of the same ROM? Very noob at all this but enjoying the heck out of learning it all and loving setting my phone free! Currently using MROM CM7, amazing the difference from stock.
Update zip is cwm don't touch that lol

"Update from ZIP" is there only to mirror the original stock recovery functionality. All that does is look for /sdcard/update.zip and if found it proceeds pretty much as if you selected "Install from ZIP" and selected the file yourself.
Good to know, wont touch then.

Ok, after successfully rooting and putting EB01 on my phone, I discovered that when I tried to install zip files from my sd card that I was taken into Samsung recovery (blue). I found out that my CWM was dated, and needed a new one. In looking for the most current version, I installed CWM 3.0.0.8. Now when I attempt to install from SD, I am rebooted into red CWM, but it doesn't like the script, so it aborts installation of whatever ROM I try to install. Update.zip kicks me into CWM 3.0.0.8, and when I try to install from there I get a similar message. I have tried to flash a different CWM through Odin, but nothing changes. I have also tried to use the "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" option, but it tells me "An error occurred while downloading your recovery" regardless of which version I select.
I am running Superclean 2.2 and have Rom Manager v3.0.1.0
I did see a similar thread to this for an HTC Hero phone, and it seemed to indicate the CWM I installed is for Gingerbread. Hoping there might be an easy fix to this I am overlooking so that I don't have to start from scratch. TIA!
It's not JUST for Gingerbread. The scripting language that the newest cwm uses is edify. And the latest cwm doesnt support the older scripting languages that the zip scripts used to be written in. so all the scripts need to be updated to use edify. And they'll work fine. Even on froyo.

Also, the newest version of Superclean (2.7) uses edify, so you should be able to flash that in CWM 3.x

Ok, that makes sense. Is there anything I can do to update the scripts?
I am trying to do the same thing. I want to have a Rom Manager version on my phone that allows me to use the 'install zip from sd card' function in the program and run the scripts correctly.
I have replace the update.zip and update-recovery.zip with th red jt1134 CWM zip, but the latest version of CWM seems to write scripts entirely differently, so it'll get me into recovery and then recovery can't run the scripts. Any idea of how I can go back to a prior version of Rom Manager?

Odin. Here's the page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
Just use manual cwm for now. The ROM Manager is going to fudge it for the time being. I don't trust RM to do a proper wipe before install either. It would be nice to use the RM gui, but its better to just spend a few extra minutes to make sure things get done right.
How do you get into CWM
How do you get into CWM without Rom Manager????

If you already have a super clean rom, just hold your power button to pop up the power down screen. Then select the option for "Recovery".
OR
Turn off phone. While turning it on, hold the power button+up volume+down volume. The Samsung logo will turn on, then turn off. Release the buttons and it will come on again then boot to recovery. Then select the option "update.zip" to launch into CWR.
So far what are the problems with the new CWR recovery 3.0? I want to flash to the newest SCv2.9 but Im reading some iffy comments on it. What are the possible drawbacks and is the only way to get back to CWR 2.5 through Odin? because since I own a mac this is a ***** and a half to do! Can you also run CWR 2.5 on SCv2.9?
Thanks in advance.

I was able to follow the thread by jt that has a simple zip and install with my cwm 3.0.x.

Hello all,
I've looked on the Forum but can't seem to find the answer to this. In fact, I only found a comment about this issue on another forum and there were no solutions. Here's the problem:
I'm running a rooted T-Mobile Vibrant with Froyo 2.2. I don't have any lagfix or additional kernels, I have ROM Manager and Titanium Backup. I'm trying to flash Bionix Next Gen V2.
The first time I did it, I got the failed verification error, so used the batch file on this forum to fix the 3e recovery installer, did that, and the result is the same.
So, here's where I am:
-I go into rom manager, do the flash clockworkmod recovery, I'm on 2.5.1.2
-I have the update.zip and bionix.zip both on my sd card.
-I go to Install Rom from SD Card, choose Bionix, check backup existing rom and wipe data and cache.
-I click ok, it reboots it, gets me into recovery.
-THIS is where I have trouble. There is no option to "Install Zip from SD Card", only to "Reinstall Package". If I do that, it reboots the phone to my regular Froyo.
I can't seem to understand why the option to install Zip from SD Card isn't showing up even though it did the very first time I tried flashing (when I got the verification error).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I'm so close that it's very frustrating.
Thanks in advance!
Flash back to 2.1 and use the update.zip in the noob guide sticky to install clockwork recovery. Clockwork doesn't play nice on the stock 2.2

try hitting "install packages" twice then cwm should pop up
THANK YOU!!!!
A great big MERCI, you guys ROCK!!!!!
I double-clicked the Install Packages option and poof CWM recover popped up and allowed me to install from zip. I'm running Bionix Next Gen V2 and the speed's eye-popping. GPS locks on nearly instantly too.
Thanks again!
How do you install the gapps? Is there a clear guide?
Once you managed to get clockworkmod recovery to run (saw your other thread "What after HTC Dev unlocking"), it's the same like installing custom roms.
Put the (gapp) zip on sdcard, boot to recovery and choose "install zip from sdcard".
So what rom du you use or plan to use?
If you install CyanogenMod or one rom based on-, go to wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Google_Apps and choose the relevant zip file regarding your version.

I'm using the ICS Rom. I download the correct gapps in the thread. If i do 'install zip from sd-card'. He says: 'installation aborted'..
anyone, who can help me?
Are you sure your zip file isn't corrupted?
Is this the complete error message you get?
I read of many people who got bootloops after installing gapps on ics (when not following some kind of installing order), but no one with such an error....
Hi folks,
I'm trying to get a new custom recovery on my phone. Im on FW 2.3.5.
I've downloaded Rom Manager, and all looks fine. When i try to boot into recovery mode to install a custom rom it doesnt say cwm recovery... it says Android recovery.... and i cant install a custom rom from there. Yes. My phone is rooted, and i granted Rom Manager SU access
It says in red..... E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
I'm sure if i first upgrade my FW to ICS or JB then there would be no problem.
However. Im affraid that if i update, my touch wont work. I broke my phone 2 months ago, and got it repaired. But the touch wouldnt work unless they downgraded it to 2.3.5. (a mainboard issue due to custom rom. They said)
I really want to try to have a custom rom and see if the touch works in here, or if im stuck using FW 2.3.5
Do i need a new kernel where the CWM recovery is already included or what?
Model: GT-I9100
Current kernel: XWKI8
Edit
Is it possible for me to flash with a custom rom differently?
Maybe connect to Odin and press the "phone" button and choose a custom rom? Or another program.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but im kinda new to this

Don't use ROM Manager, as it is not fully compatible with our phone.
You have to flash a kernel containing the CWM recovery you want/need, or alternatively you can flash only the (temporaily) CWM recovery.
Have a lok here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105
In first post Method 1 > Instruction 2.
Just download and flash "cwm-touch-6.0.1.2-i9100.zip" in stock recovery:
1. Put the previously downloaded cwm-touch-6.0.x.x-i9100.zip file on your external sd card.
2. Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power), and select "apply update from external storage". Now select the cwm-touch-6.x.x.x-i9100.zip file you copied in previous step (this step gives a temporary flash that will disappear after reboot)
You get CWM recovery interface (this custom recovery is temporary, not permanent)
3. Inside CWM, select "install zip from sdcard". Then, select "choose zip from sdcard". Now, scroll down to the custom ROM zip file and hit power button to install it.
Good luck !

I found a new kernel and now i have CWM.
Thanks a lot for the fast reply
Edit
I was right. The touch wont work on new rom.
Now i just have to test loads of roms to see which ones work
Hi,
I successfuly rooted smartphone, but then i tried to install new rom with rom manager I see message "no command". When I try to install the rom through recovery i see "install zip sd card" option. Any attempt to install ROM using Revocery fails with the error "installation aborted". I read on the forums that I need to update CWM Recovery but i can't find CWM for my model. My actually Recovery version is "Android system recovery <3e>". If You can help me in any way? I need any recovery
Thank You!
There's no prebuilt CWM Recovery for Tracer Oxygen GS3. You'd have to build it yourself.
I found an updated ROM and tools to upload it to your phone on the ftp_colon_slash_slash_megabajt_dot_com_dot_pl_slash_Oxygen_Updates_slash_OxygenGS3_20140527.rar
Good luck!
