Is there a site or way to make my own CWM flashable zips for CMW 3.X.X.X.X. I downloaded a zip file I would like to flash but it is for the old CMW and will not flash. Its an .apk file and will not install properly by just running the file in the OS itself.
Do a search for "amend2edify". Should convert it.

Hi,
I'm trying to install custom roms on my Milestone and have hit a brick wall.
I've looked at and followed the Instructions threads (rooted & did a nandroid backup) and they refer to having to apply an "update.zip" file in Open Recovery to actually get the cutom rom. Problem is that I've downloaded both CM7 and Miui rom files but when I unzip them they don't have an update.zip file in them.
They just have the following
META-INF (folder)
system (folder)
boot.img (img file)
Question is... How do I flash these files to apply the custom rom?
(Can't ask questions in the development part of the forum as I don't have 10 posts yet)
Thanks
anyone?

well, just know it from xrecovery (come from the x10 mini pro) and AFAIK the zip you extracted already was the update.zip - rename downloaded zipfile to update.zip, then flash it
k thanks dude.

the file does not need to be called update.zip. it is a generic term for the format of "update"
simply put the CM7 zip file in the openrecovery\updates folder subfolder of your sdcard.
you should then be able to see the file in the update menu of your recovery.
Does anyone knows how to create an .ftf file (flash tool file) from a Recovery BackUp or from a .zip ROM in order to flash it with flash tool instead of Recovery's menu?
This post is about the best answer you can find.
The procedure requires you know quite well what you're doing!
Ok er, noob question, but MobileOdin(lite) asks me to download added zip file for the N700. i did this, but how do I get it to install? Because it is present as a .zip file in my SD card and everytime MobOdin starts it asks to download the additional file.
Renaming it to .apk doesn't work as it gives a parsing error if I try to install it & if I extract it four different folders come out. How do I go about it then?
what are them folders ?
META-INF
System
ect ect ? ?
if so its probably a CWM flashable package.
*facepalm* noob action here. Used some other file manager but then used Astro & voila! Apk extracted and installed! Done and done!
i got CWM4 in my SGA, can i know what is the step to upgrade it to CWM5?
i downloaded CWM5 zip file from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552695
is that direct update with this zip or i need to delete my CWM4 first ?
if need to delete before install CWM5, how to delete it ?
No need to delete, just install zip from sd card. Just make sure you don't have the i, m or c model ace.

I have recently rooted my Optimus 2x (P990) and am now thinking of trying ROM Manager. I have seen remarks that ROM Manager can be confused because the P990 mounts its internal storage as /sdcard so will it be safe to try ROM Manager to install CWM Recovery?
I have read quite a lot of posts but most of them seem to be rather old and software in this field seems to change very quickly.
Yes. Install CWM from Rom manager and then flash this CWM through rom managers CWM. Rusty's CWM will be able to work with both memorys.

I've had a look at that and I see that there are two .img files in there with various other files. Am I supposed to use just the image files? Do I use both of them? Otherwise what do I do with the .zip file?
That file aren't flashable in cwm? In short you need to nvflash it. Pc needs drivers. When all ready open a command line and run the install-ext-cwm-windows.bat. Trym Hansen have a great tread with detailed instructions how to root and flash cwm, search for it
So sorry, I misposted wrong version. Right is here and it is flushable.

Thank you for the correction.
I see that the contents of this zip are totally different from the previous zip so what do I do with the new zip. Is it just the .img file that is to be copied over the .img file in the previous zip?
Edit: Sorry! I've just realised I use ROM Manager to flash the image directly don't I?
