Hi...
Im sitting here with a mate's wildfire, and we want to flash a amend rom to it... But ofcause it fails when we use the latest CWM...
it just fails when I try to download it from rom manager
I have tried with amend2edify... But it doesn't seem to work... It just freezes at the HTC logo...
The rom Im trying to flash is jokerdroid...

dunno whether you've given up hope by now on anyone responding but hey.
First of all this should be moved to the wildfire section.. just because you have a legend doesn't mean you post in the legend forum with wildfire problems.
In order to flash custom ROM's, the only way to do so is to S-OFF the wildfire, you can do this with AlpharevX.
In the process of S-OFF'ing your Device, when it has completed, it asks you if you want to flash recovery, choose yes.
if you didn't then follow this:
download the ROM you want and put it in your sd-card
Download recovery and rename it to recovery.img for simplicity. Place this in c:\
go into the AlpharevX.zip and extract "fastboot.exe" into c:\
Run cmd and type:
Code:
cd c:\
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img c:\recovery.img
Once you've flashed recovery, boot into it by turning the phone off, holding volume down and the power button. Then, use the volume down key to navigate to RECOVERY, and press the power button again.
go to "backup & restore", and backup your current ROM.
go to "advanced", and select "wipe dalvic cache"
go to "mounts & storage" and wipe "boot" "system" "data" "cache"
go to "install from sd-card", "choose zip from sd-card", find the ROM you downloaded, and select it, then choose yes when itt prompts you if you wish to install it.
Probably would have helped asking this is Wildfire forum instead..

If u have CWM on your device select apply zip from sdcard>select zip (something like that,its the second option there)>select the zip (obviously)>browse throught the long list of "No"s and select yes,your rom.zip will be flashed.
Otherwise ,rename the file to update.zip,put it in the root of sdcard i.e. /sdcard and select the option apply update.zip from the recovery menu
!
You must install "recovery.img" and boot under "pink screen"-bootloader mode ! after that phone restart and boot into recovery(volume + and power on) !only this method work for install rom,but firmware 2.3.5.firmware 2.3.6 is locked and cannot boot into bootloader mode.
U can install recovery.img on B919
u must to replace recovery.img with recovery cwm 5 to flash another ROM, for huawei honor until now baseband 919 can do it

Hello. I have d605 with 20g and root via kingroot. I want flash varcains CWM. But when i execute loki flash, it says loki aboot version does not match device and fails. When i try flash zip for flash from other recovery - try flash via stock 3e recovery, it says instalaion aborted and error 255. So i want flash it via app Flashify, but its risk. Did someone already tried it? And how to do it? Select flash zip (in flashify) and select cwm*.zip or unpack recovery.img and select flash recovery (in flashify) and put unpacked recovery img?
PS it can be also twrp, i want just working recovery for flash CM11
Thanks for help.

Features:
1 - Flash boot and recovery .img without even needing to go to recovery.

Which means you have to extract recovery.img from the zip file and flash recovery.img via flashify.
When I select flaah recovery in Flashify and select CWM .zip, it says i have to select file with .img file. And in that zip is the recovery.img file.

I think I explained it in a fairly simple way. You need the .img file, NOT THE .ZIP file.
It doesnt work . I unpacked recovery.img from cwm.zip. Then opened Flashify and selected recovery flash, and put unpacked recovery.img (before it i make recovery backup). It said flash successful and then i used reboot recovery. But it shows only black screen with text like "fastboot mode stared udf start". I must remove battery and put back, then it normal booted to android... Reboot to recovery always open the black screen with that text and is needed battery remove (fixed via recovery restore from backup in flashify, then reboot recovery opens stock 3e recov.)
Please What now? Thx

It should work on any a500 variant, but it's tested only on A500FU
Thank you very much for providing support to the Galaxy A5. Installed with Flashify, tested on my A500M single SIM and running smoothly.
I tried other versions of TWRP 3.0.2 and always bootloop in the recovery. A greeting.

Yep, it should
Should I get the "-0" or the "-1" file? Ex.: "3.0.2-0". Btw, I have already twrp installed I think 3.0.1-1 if not wrong but I want to update the twrp version through windows, will it wipe my data of just update the bootloader?

the -# is not a twrp sources update, it's just a "release counter" of my builds, for example if i upload a new twrp build, i name it from *-0 to *-1
Also you don't need windows to update. you can go in twrp and advanced->terminal then run these commands:
$ tar xvf path/to/recovery.tar
$ dd if=/path/to/extracted/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
and then reboot
Update 3.1.0 is available. Download always in main post Enjoyyyy
It's worked perfectly in my Samsung A500M with MM 6.0.1
Thanks a lot

odin shows pass!! But when entered in recovery mode it shows no command.and also twrp manager is not showing.
Wiil this work on a500w? Tnx
It works on my SM-A500F. You finally fixed the Brightness bug that has been with every version of TWRP for the Galaxy A5 (2015).
Zonik ported the same recovery version (3.1.0-0), however it shows "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" every time it boots up. On this port, it only shows when you boot to the recovery. Overall great job!
Btw 3.1.1-0 is now officially released. Would be nice if you ported that if you had the time

Working great on SM500G
@DeadSquirrel01 Hi Sir, just use the odin to flash it in ap section? No need to uncheck the option?
2. And also is that you tried to flash the supersu zip for rooting? I need the root on my 6.0 at A500F.
wee, new update is now out.
Changelog:
update twrp to 3.1.1
Support formatting system/data/cache to f2fs
Note that not all roms support f2fs, so, before using it ask to your rom's developer.
Also, that option will wipe the entire partition. So, if you choose to convert userdata partition to f2fs, it will also delete everything in /data/media/0 (/sdcard) which is not deleted in normal /data wipes.
The link to download it is the same, just choose the 3.1.1 one
Hi and greetings to everyone on this forum,
I accidently wiped my OS using TWRP. I have been reviewing some threads about similar issue but haven't come up with a working solution on my Galaxy Note - (N9005 model). I already got a firmware from SamMobile and tried to flash it with Odin3 - it recognizes the port however it always seem to be hanging on "SetupConnection". The firmware I go is in .zip format, once I unzip it there's a .tar.md5 file inside and a dll named "S_DL.dll" (wonder what's this for?)
Also, is there a way to bring back my original recovery image?
Here's how I solved it:
1) Unzipped the firmware .zip file (I downloaded the firmware for my phone from sammobile.com), then unzipped the .tar.md5 file and uploaded the recovery.img file using adb:
adb push recovery.img
2) flash the recovery image using TWRP by selectin Install > image and selecting the recovery.img file just uploaded, choose recovery
3) Reboot into recovery mode using he power button + home + volume up/down
4) Choose reboot to bootloader from the menu
5) Update to stock firmware using Odin.
Then wait for the phone to reboot and install.
It seems that when the system was wiped the phone wasnt able to go into download mode as well. The only way that the firmware could be updated was by using the original Samsung recovery image and boot to Download mode.
