I had a Optimus One earlier and the way it worked there was flash CWM through ROM manager and no matter what kernel you use CWM would stick.
I wanted to know why in SGSII kernel comes with CWM inside it and does not work
standalone like it works in many other devices.I tried searching for answers but could not.
Thanks.
You can't flash cwm through rom manager because the stock kernel won't allow non-signed zip's, so signature verification has to be disabled in the kernel, i guess the dev's then figure what the hell lets throw cwm into the kernel while we're making a kernel.
Hope you can help me. I rooted my friends phone via odin. When i was about to flash a rom via cwm recovery mode - its opening to a "manual mode", im unable to flash the rom. Hope you can help me with this. Thank You
which rom are you trying to flash via cwm?
did you copy the rom to your internal sd card so that cwm can see it.
This problem started when I was trying to root my phone with Rachmat3's method when it couldn't mount sd card... Although I tried I tried with many ways nothing happened... always the same message: failed mount /sdcard..
I managed to root it somehow and I flashed Resurrection remix 1.0.. So far so good.. I downloaded rom manager(don't know why exactly, just read that it was helpfull) and noticed that i had no clockworkmod so i flashed it by rom manager.. I guess this means that now I have it installed in my phone.. which means that if I reboot my phone into recovery mode it will launch cmd or if not through recovery mode i'll find it into sdcard and install it from there... Right??? Correct me if I'm wrong please... So although I see in Rom manager that I have clockworkmod it doesn't launch in recovery mode... even if I try reboot into recovery through Rom manager when it goes into recovery, stops after a while with this message can't found cache/update.zip.. So I think maybe the problem is that this file misses(I don't know why of course.. i sure not delete it myself on purpose) is there any way to download it manually and put it into cache throw root browser??? Dont know... just saying! Or I don't know... am I missing something????
If you want CWM recovery, you need to flash a kernel which includes it such as CF-root or any of the custom ones.

I used CF-root already... it's the only method I managed to root it cause i'm on ICS... I downloaded CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip from this page.
I managed to get clockworkmod touch after all so guess my problem solved!!!
But still have no idea why showed that message...
Hi everyone, I recently bought a springboard s7-303u on ebay and the tablet works great. I wanted to start flashing roms to the device so I installed TWRP. When I try perform a backup to sd card using TWRP it always gets stuck after it finishes backing up the system partition. I have a similar problem with cwm as well. Trying to flash a zip from a sd card results in the device getting stuck as well. The device is currently running the stock honeycomb OS. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be, or have any suggestions. Any help would be appreciated. BTW I used the "Auto_recovery_installer_for_huawei_mediapad" that is posted in the development section to install twrp and cwm.
hi, hope someone can help. i'm sort of a newbie, so i might not even understand any help you give.:crying:
i have a optimus g e970. i installed the freeg app,
i've been trying to flash a custom rom, and have been unsuccessful. two things have happened.
1. with the freeg app, i click on the twrp block, and it says 2.6.3.3 successfully installed. so i reboot into recovery, and it says ver. 2.6.3.0 is the one i have. not sure if this matters, but figured i'd lay that out there.:crying:
and so i reboot into recovery, but when i try to install, the zip files i've put on the internal sd card are not recognized....it's like they aren't even there.
so, i try plan b.
2. i go back into freeg, and install cwm recovery, and reboot into recovery. now, the zip files ARE recognized, but every flash is aborted. unfortunately i didn't catch the exact wording of the warning it gave me, but i'm thinking maybe i had a rom not for the e970, but i'm not sure.
before i brick this thing, are there any suggestions? the rom on the device is Android version 4.1.2. i'm not big into flashing roms, but i have done so in the past if i have line by line instructions that i can follow.
Depending on what rom you are flashing You may need a more updated recovery.
Edit: nevermind you have 2.6.3.0, that is the newest version. However there is a kitkat 2.6.3.0 if ur flashing kitkat roms , use a recovery that support it

ok, i read that thread, didn't take me a whole lotta time. hahah. but next question.
the kit kat twrp....do i need that recovery if i am already on a kk, which i am not, or if i am going to flash a kk rom?
ok, this is where i'm at:
i have the kk twrp zip. i put everything on internal sd card. no recognition of zips.
i put everything on external sd card. no recognition of zips.
where i go from here, i'm all ears.

If you were already on kitkat you wouldn't need a kitkat recovery to run the phone .. If you're going to flash a kk rom you will need a kk recovery. The question is confusing ... So my answer may be confusing as well..

I don't know what internal SD card mean , the SD card or internal memory.. However regardless of the version of your recovery you should still be able to see the zips. If you are able to you may just put the kk recovery zip on your SD card, flash it , reboot recovery and see what happens. Also I think in twrp you are able to pick either to use internal memory or SD card too ( its in the options I think )
hey, thanks for your help. i know my questions can be confusing. such is being a newbie on this stuff, i don't know the precise phraseology sometimes.
nonetheless, i played around with that link you provided, and i think i might be good to go. i'll lay out what i did to help anyone who is in my positions.
i downloaded the zip for the twrp for kit kat. i was on 4.1.2, trying to flash a kk rom.
i put the zip on my internal storage, and rebooted into my already existing twrp recovery. zip not recognized. so i rebooted into cwm recovery, and the zip now was detected. i flashed the twrp for kk recovery.
rebooted into my new recovery. i wiped, and then clicked "install'. now, the recovery did in fact detect the rom and gapps zips. flashed, and rebooted system.
so i think i am good to go. not sure why twrp was not recognizing zips and cwm was. again, thanks. knowing there was a special twrp for kk got me going on the right track.

Yeah it happened to me once, I just downloaded an app called "Flashify" and used it to flash the KK TWRP.
Afterwards, reboot into the recovery and it will recognize .zip files.

Ok now my frined. You didnt do anything wrong. The mistake is done on the CM11 Thread that no one didnt change the installation guide with the right one. Coz no one cares tha many people are bricking their phones with those bad instruckitions. Use this guide and everything will be good http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ogenmod-11-t2808268/post54368918#post54368918
Just remember when you flash CWM 6.0.5.3 go to advantance and reboot recovery. Also remove your PIN CODE before booting into CM11 coz it was a bug with that .
