Put the rom zip on your SD card, flash recovery with odin then from recovery install your rom zip file

i open clockworkmod in recovery mode->install .zip from sd card->choose .zip from sd card-> click yes and then start to install but immidiatelly says "installation aborted"...what should i check????????
If you reboot does your phone still boot back in to the existing rom? If so I would would start again and re-do CF-root. not sure if you followed this guide but here is a link anyway - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

i've tried villainrom and cognition....currently i'm running on lightinrom but that was flashed through odin....:/
it boots normally back to lightinrom...when i flash the cf root kernel thorough odin it would not boot rather than stay on the samsung galaxy s logo...it's drivin me nuts...don't know what to try.....
have you tried downloading a different rom and tried that?
As sicopat said, it may be worth downloading again and trying that.
What rom you trying to flash?
i've tried sensation rom, villainrom and cognition rom...all do the same...when i press ok to install the rom cwm reads data, says update installation and then immidiatelly installation aborted....someone experienced gs2 user please help....
I would try going back to stock and start from scratch dude. I'm not overly experienced as I've only had my SGS2 a week, but I followed all the guides and didnt get any issues. Seems like its a problem with CWM if its not letting you do anyy roms at all?
You are getting the orange CWM 4.0.0.2 screen right?
Also I would try posting in the Q & A section.

It sounds like you are using the Rom Manager from the Market when you should be using the CWM app.
If you don't have the CWM app and you are using a kernel that has CWM, you need to boot into Recovery using Power, Volume Up and Home buttons then install your zip from the sd card.
Just use the flash update mode.
i tried both rom manager and cwm app separetly...even when i tried rom manager it would sent me to the cwm recovry........do you think it has anything to do with my pc unziping the roms the moment the're downloded????because that happend and i compressed them back to zip files.....:/

Yes of course, you should not be unzipping the files because it corrupts them. Do yourself a favour and become more familiar with flashing instructions, it will save you a lot of panic and anxiety, like what you have just been through.
Hey guys, I'm basically screwed right now. I deleted many major applications from the /system/apps drawer. I am running Mac 10.5 on my laptop currently and I want to know how do I flash a working ClockworkMod.
I know, there are plenty of threads about this, but none gave me a REAL answer.
I'm on a Mac, So I can't ODIN in. It needs to be done on 2.2 Froyo.
Everytime I instal a CWM, It boots into Android Recovery and When I hit "reinstall packages", It doesnt do anything.
Please, tell me how to flash a working cwm recovery so I can flash another ROM stable for my Vibrant.
Try not to send me links, because I've seen them all. but If you think that link is the one, please show me.
Thanks In advace guys.
Did you do a backup before anything?

ok so you can just download the cwm recovery and put it on your sd card and power your phone off then hold volume down and power it should flash the file itself if you cant get to the phone at all other then bootloader try mounting your sd card with another phone or with a micro sd adapter moving the file to the sd and doing what i told you before. that should help..
u might fail signature verification just doing update.zip
i think it should go like :
install odin in windows
flash 2.1
install clockwork
flash whatever u want
cant you use the rom manager from the market to install any fooxx.zip?
Dear everyone,
I tried to install CM11 in CWM recovery page yesterday, but the installation was failed.
I didn't backup accidentally, then I couldn't restore my current ROM.
Now each time I power on the device, the CWM recovery page automatically shows up and I cannot get into android.
even if I hold the power button, it will only show the CWM recovery page to me and it cannot be turned off.
I tried to reinstall the stock OS by using Odin, but I seems my computer cannot detect my phone.
I did try also on my friends' computer, but It doesn't work out.
Is there still any way I can revive my phone?
It will be the most grateful if anyone can save my phone.

Thanks a lot!
I will try to grab one!
The Stock Android package has got one MD5 file and one dll file inside.
Is it alright to install it on the recovery page?
Just take the zip file of the rom to the sd card ( cm11 i suppose ?? ) and then flash it via the recovery, also don't forget to flash the gapps

The stock rom it's only flashable by odin dude. For flash a rom in recovery it have to be in zip form.
To be more precise :
1. Download the rom you want, cm11 for example (zip file) and the gapps
2. Move it to your external or internal sd card of your phone
3. Go to the recovery and wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache
4. Then install zip from sd card and select the file of the rom you've downloaded before
5. Reboot
Then all should went fine for you :good:
PS : If you go to a bootloop simply remake all this steps

Yes, it's a zip with a MD5 inside. Is it the right form of ROM to be flashed in Recovery mode?

Well.You should do it every time if you want to enter into the CWM. If you want to change your recover mode permenently you should follow some other procedure!
