there isnt an apk for CWR....all rom manager does is put this update.zip on your /sdcard
put this on your sdcard, reboot to recovery and click on reinstall packages. it will reboot, then select reinstall packages again. you will then get kicked over to the GREEN font clockworkrecovery

Help!

Hey all, I'm currently in RA after flashing the recovery image , and I'm trying to install the FRESH rom on there but for some reason when I try to "Flash zip from sdcard" it's telling me "No zip files found." Why is that? I have the whole zip folder placed in the main SD card, so why is it telling me it's not found?

I responded to you on http://GeekFor.Me, but the reason is because RA looks in the root of sdcard, the zips can't be inside of any folders.
So does that mean I have to take out all the individual files and place them directly into the root of the sdcard? Because I just basically copied the download folder and dropped it into the root. Thanks for the reply

You need to leave the files in a .zip, but yea that zip needs to be on the root of the sdcard.
The only file you need to install the rom is fresh-cdma-hero-20d.zip (for fresh rom 2.0d). Any other zips are just addons or tweaks or whatever they may be.

Hmm, I'm on a Mac and maybe it's me but the link I download from gives me an actual folder rather than a zip. And when I rename the folder to a zip, it gives an error. Is there a mirror link to download an actual zip folder?
Boogie when you download it dont opening after it finishes downloading .. just use the finder to navigate to where its at and then copy that to your sd .. when you open it on a mac it will automatically create the extracted folder .. hope this helps ...
Sounds like your using Safari to download it. To make this easier in the future go to Safari > Preferences > General and make sure that "Open safe files after downloading" is NOT check-marked.
Safari is unpacking the zip file for you. The file you want is in your trash bin, drag it to the root of your SD card and that's it..
Ok I'm gonna give it another go. Since I made it all the way through to the RA stage, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to flash the rom is there?
Thanks for all the help everyone I finally got it to flash the FRESH rom, but once I rebooted it, it's still in the "HTC" branded screen. Is it loading? It's not going anywhere but this screen, although I know it's doing something because the animation shine is moving.

After flashing a new ROM, it can take up to 10 minutes or so to load.
Nice Everything is all good! Now my last question is how do I get the removed apps from the ROM back onto here? I actually prefer to have some of those programs back onto the phone.

There is a link in the release notes to download all the removed apk's from Fresh Rom. You will then need to use adb push to push them back to /system/app. Search for how to setup adb on a mac as I honestly don't know.

Issues installing a file zip - wifi fix

Issue... my wifi is not working. I tried every solution when it comes to wifi and some. I tried different ROMS and still no dice. I came across this WIFI Fix file that is a zip file and wanted to try and install it. Since I have no WIFI I cant use ROM Manager to install.
I dont know if you can use ADB to install a zip file? I know you can probably do it for a .apk file, but not a zip? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I tried renaming the file to update and using recovery to flash it but it runs then aborts.
Any programs I can use to flash this file to see if it works?
Thanks.
you simply put it in OpenRecovery/Updates/ folder and then apply the update.
It's in the same folder where you put your custom rom that you want to install, and you install it the same way as you do for custom roms, just that you choose the WIFI Fix.zip instead of the custom rom obivously.

[Q] help flashing rom captivate

im trying to flash paragon rc5. i follow the instructions, but when i go to choose sd card... and click on paragon.zip as file to use in clockwordmod recovery manager, it loads okay, then says replacing recovery manager and reboots. what did i do wrong?
To flash rom you should boot into recovery, select ingersoll zip from sd, choose zip, select parogon, confirm, done
Well when i do, it acts like its going to install, but then says "replacing recovery manager with clockwork..." then exits and reboots into the normal recovery screen.
Each time i get into recovery it is the normal one. I have to go to reinstall packages to get to the clockworkmod one. Something tells me thats not right.
Could this have happened because i installed rom manager and it didnt say i needed it?
Sounds like you are flashing an update.zip to get clock work recovery. i think you need to confirm you downloaded the correct file
What happened was i installed rom manager, got recovery manager through it, then downloaded paragon and its update.zip file. So am i basically flashing the recovery manager right now?
Sounds like it, are you on stock?
Paragon rom zip should be like 170mb in size
Rooted, but otherwise stock. Have already wiped all my data on it in preparation.
What im trying to do is this- have update.zip and paragon.zip in main internal sd folder. Go into recovery---reinstall---then it loads clockwork, then go to from sd---choose--- and if i pick paragon.zip it still does it.
let me clarify this, basically you do not need rom manager here.
1. download the update.zip and put it in your sdcard root folder;
2. download the rom file (170mb one) and put it in your sdcard; not necessary to be the root folder;
3. suppose you are on the stock rom; shut down your phone and use key combo to get into recovery mode;
4. apply the changes (i remember it is the second option), you may need to do it twice. you should now be in the cwm;
5. use the menu in the cwm to browse and install the rom file
6. reboot your phone. done.
Boot phone up normally. Delete paragon file you have. Redownload. Like I said the file should be like 170mb.
Update.zip goes in the root folder? Where is that? I couldnt find it anywhere....
The file is about 170mb. I know thats correct, im thinking since i had already installed cwm i moght have screwed up.
when you select reinstall packages you should go into green recovery/clockwork recovery.
If that works boot phone, open rom manager, select install rom from sd, select paragon
check the attached file.
Thats the update.zip i have. Now where do i put the damn thing?
Your internal sd card. Dl to phone, go to my files app, open dl folder find file select copy, click paste. Should now be where you need it

Sorry, I didn't mean to step on your toes. We all posted at the same time.
Got it all up and running. Works infinitely many times better than it did stock. Got a gps lock in about 5 seconds. Im loving this phone again.

[Q] [Help!!] Recovery Menu Failure!

hi Guys,
I have di11i's ROM installed, 5.6 stripped, on a Samsung Captivate.
I installed ROM manager, flashed clockwork from there. Chose Galaxy S Captivate as my phone. (should I have chosen I9000??!!)
then I clicked boot into recovery, and in recovery menu, it said "signature verification failed" did not install multi-CSC thing, and got stuck there!!
I unsinstalled ROM manager....
would my recovery menu be ok now if I try again? (scared to try)
what went wrong??!
thank u for the support!
Hey Dude,
I'm guessing its coming up as 3e recovery? If so, you need to take the file I'm attaching, unzip it and place it in the /system/bin folder. Reboot and you should be set.
Just to be clear:
Unzip the file and place it on your phone.
Use root explorer.
Make file system RW
Copy the file to /system/bin
Reboot!
You should be all set from here.
What Phoenix said is right. Also, this doesn't belong in development
Sent from my Captivate using XDA App
Another simple way to get into recovery mode, since you are already on di11i's ROM:
use the power menu, then select recovery ...

indeed, my concern is, did I screw up anything related to that by getting this error, or was that error only because of trying through ROM manager?

Need a rom ZIP file for desire 626S

I am looking for a rom zip file for a T-mobile HTC desire 626s. All I keep finding are the ruu's. I need a zip file so I can install OS via TWRP. Anyone know where I an find and download one, really need as soon as possible.
Flashing without RUU
First, download the RUU and run the .exe up until it prompts you to begin the install to the phone. Don't do that.
Go to Windows Explorer and in the address bar put "%temp%" and find "rom.zip"
Rename it "0PM9IMG.zip" and put it in the root directory of your external SD and from here you can do whatever you want. I used the bootloader to install it rather than TWRP.
Thanks
