Help me plz :( wanna install a custom rom - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well i already tried once but i got a bootloop, i already fixed it.
I used twrp (i downloaded it from the play store) i had already downloaded the rom so i went to recovery mode and wipe everything except external sd card then installed but what i was always wondering was: what's bootloader do i have to unlock it before installing a rom? Or getting into recovery mode means that i have it already unlocked? Was that the why i couldn't install it correctly?

I think u have to unlock ur bootloader first then install a custom recovery.

[Q] Can't found cache/update.zip

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...

[Q] Xperia Go CWM Problem

Hi
I've unlocked the bootloader of my phone, then installed CWM. cwm was working fine for days, then I can't boot into cwm.
cwm is installed. (I can install zip files from pimp my rom where cwm in required)
But I can't install any roms cause I can't boot into cwm menu.
So what do I do now? Can I directly reinstall cwm? OR I've to flash back to stock ftf file and then again install cwm?
Its weird. :s

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 .

Do you have a locked out unlocked bootloader?
Locked @oomattOo
Did you do fresh install? (flash stock firmware via flash tool and re-root)
Is that the only way? ?

HTC One X+ cant boot after flashing

Hey guys,
i tried to root my cellphone but since im not experienced with stuff like this i asked a friend of mine for help, but we kinda stuck so i need help. First i unlocked the bootloader then i flashed the 3.0.2.0 recovery and afterwards twrp didnt work out so i flashed an another version and then i made a backup. Then i swiped the factory reset & system, then i flashed the cyanogenmod 11 rom and google apps. And then i flashed the boot.img per fastboot and since then i can only enter the recovery but not the system nor i can fastboot. also i cant install a new rom. And once i missclicked on root tho the bootloader was rebooting. i would highly appreciate your help
