Hi,
I miss read a guide to upgrade my phone from darky's 8.0 to 9.3 and deleted the update.zip file on the root of my phone and put the rom on the root of my sd... is it the right thing to do or should have I kept the upadate.zip? should I rename the new Rom to update.zip (the tutorial doesn't mention it...)?
I know i'm new here but I made some research and didn't find nothing about what happen when u delete it....
Thanks in advance for the quick answer!
Edit: I think I got it close thread thx
Its fine to remove update zip . As for the rest its a Darky so i have not got a clue as to what his instructions are .

once you have clockword-rcovery there is no use for update.zip...
BTW, when do you use apply update.zip on CWM?
Thanks
only once when you are rooting phone. and for flashing roms choose "install zip from sd card" and than you choose your zip file and flash it.

You will also need clockworkmod recovery to easily flash themes onto your phone.
Take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
You'll basically need to flash a kernal or rom that includes CWM through the program, ODIN. After that, you can just copy the themes onto your internal SD card and install the theme via CWM menu, making sure that the phone and your rom are compatible.

+1 and the CWM kernels have a root option so its just going intoo the recovery menu selecting root and installing su+busybox and wola a rooted phone.
My aunty recently gave my sister a Samsung Galaxy S. I find it laggy and so I want to flash a good rom. I already rooted it. I tried to flash new rom through rom manager, keeps force closing. Stock 2.3 with odin and download mode. Download doesn't work. Apparently it is because my phone is from Optus Australia. I am currently running Android 2.2 Froyo. I have always been a fan of Cyanogen Mod and so I want to flash it.
And so I enter the ClockWorkRecovery and to flash new rom, it has to be called update.zip etc. The ROM file for Cyanogen is update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS. Is it possible to rename this to update.zip so I can flash rom through ClockWorkRecovery? Will it work?
Link to ROM: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/32492-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-samsung-galaxy-s-v710-9-oct-2011/
you can try as in this order...
1. rename the ziped rom file as "update.zip"
2. put it on the root drive.(do not put it in any folder or not in the micro sd card)
3. now go to CWM by pressing vloume up + home + power button
4. select "apply /sdcard/update.zip"
if your CWM does not show it on the main manu ->
5. select "install zip from sdcard"
6. select "apply /sdcard/update.zip"
7. select yes
done it should work...
I dont understand....
Why do you can' t flash it normal?
I dont understand....
Why cant you flash it normal?
I dont really know about renaming and flashing it, bit i deffinatly recommend you to flash stock gingerbread first, runs better on gingerbread bootloaders + battery life is way better

Totally agree: flash with Odin the last stock firmware for your area and then root with CF-Root. Now you have the CWM Recovery and are able to flash your file with any name.
You'll need to get into download mode (try adb reboot download after enabling usb debugging on the phone.) If that works, then you can flash the 3-button combo fix, and then flash an alternate firmware using ODIN.

Because download mode doesn't work for me, same for ClockWorkMod...

Highly recommend you fix that first. Download mode and 3 button recovery is highly convenient and essential in case a flash goes wrong.

i thought you can choose to install zip from sd card and choose directly which zip file you can use?
in CWM = install zip from sdcard ------choose zip from sd card ; something like that

Tried. Install Rom Mangaer, flash ClockWorkMod. Rebooted. Click install from SD card. The green bar goes to half way then shows up with something aborted. Failed.
Seems a corrupted file.. Have you checked the md5 hash is correct?
Maybe a JIG would help you to run in download mode if it is your problem...
I also think that first of all should be flashing a stock gingerbread using odin, next flash with odin a gingerbread kernel, semaphore, talondev... And then go into recovery and flash the rom you want
Hello,
I have a galaxy ace S5830 phone. I wanted to install ICS 4.0 on it. The phone is rooted and runs 2.3.4.
When I try to install any zip file from recovery it gives an error saying "E: Can't open /tmp/sideload/package.zip (bad)".
I just cannot install any zip file.
The phone has android recovery 3e.
I formatted the OS (factory reset) but it didnt change anything. Formatted SD card too but no use.
What is the possible reason behind this error?
Any solution is highly appreciated.
flash cwm.

The log you posted states that the zip file is corrupted...have you tried to redownload cwm and flash it again? It's impossible that you are able to flash the zip for root but not cwm...it must be the zip's problem...

Well, I tried with different zip files of CWM. It is not working. The zip files are not corrupt since I tried them on my friend's ace and they worked fine.
I did not flash for root. I rooted through superoneclick since the flash was not working.
Also the error given is not for my zip file. It is for some package.zip (I dont knw what is this zip file neither do i knw its location tmp/sideload)
Different zip files of cwm?where you get that many? Try to refer to this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12874680...install the cwm from there...and if it is still not working, reflash a new firmware (2.3.6 for most countries) via ODIN and try again...
And one more thing, in stock recovery, you must select install zip from external storage (or something like that), not from cache...you will be brought to your sd card to select the relevant zip file...

With due respect Sir, Different zips means CWM zips from different download sources.
I tried it with 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 2.3.6 (installed them via ODIN). But seems that firmware doesnt make any difference to the recovery. Keeps on giving the same error.
Thanks for the link above..let me try that out.

Hey, the link you gave isnt any different from what I did via ODIN.
Is there any way to install CWM + firmware via ODIN? I am looking for that.

I am flashing from SD card only.
But, its not working, I need a method to install CWM without flashing. Since, I already have a root, is there any software that can do that?
P.S Tried ROM manager free version. It asked for premium version. Tried cracked premium version, while installation it says "Application not installed".

Hi all,
I want to install CWM on my rooted SGS however there appears to be on CF Kernel that matches my JVN Kernel so using the CF method is not an option from what I have read.
So I installed ROM Manager and tried to install it that way but I now get signature verification errors when I go into Recovery.
Next I downloaded the recovery image from the CWM website but I cannot seem to find any information on installing it onto a SGS.
If anyone could offer any suggestions it would be appreciated.
TIA
Greg
Edit: Firmware is 2.3.3
Why dont you just flash JVU then Root it
Comes with CWM ....
As I am guessing you want CWM to flash a rom yes?
If so most Roms require ...from my knowledge a clean install of JVU with ODIN before flashing a New Rom

Download this "update.zip". Place it in your SD card. Power off and boot into recovery with the 3 button combination (press power, volume up and home button till you see the boot logo) and select "apply sdcard: update.zip". DO NOT DELETE THIS FROM SD. You should have CWM installed now. Let me know if you have any problem.
You need to root your phone first with update.zip for i9000, download the latest CWM.zip, put it in the storage. Then go to recovery and install the CWM.zip Goodluck flashing!

Can you use any version of JVU? eg: Europe, Asia, Australia. Or, should you only use one for your region, in my case Australia.
I have an Australian verion of JW6 (2.3.6), would that be acceptable?

Thanks for the UPDATE.ZIP, I note it is just a renamed CWM. I did not know you could just rename them and then install them. Thanks.
So, my plan at this stage is to update to 2.3.6 (JW6) and then install CWM via UPDATE.ZIP. Should this work?
TIA
Greg
Yeah you can upgrade first. Flash a firmware or upgrade OTA. You should root your phone first before flashing a custom recovery such as CWM.

Instead of odin, try to flash the TWRP zip version through CWM and see if that gets you anywhere.

I will see if that works thanks
Ok i got it installed using the zip method thru cwm now i got twrp. One problem though when i click to install in twrp recovery i cant find any of the downloaded roms or any files on my internal sd card.

In TWRP, if you click advanced/ filemanager/ emmc folder, can you see your internal storage? There is also fix permissions under advanced. You could try that too if nothing else is working.
