How to install a *.zip ?

so..
i have alfs06 and gingerdx22. i didnt install chargemon+volds update, so i cannot install *zip files in XRecovery or CWM 3.2
if i install chargemon+volds update, i will not be able to enter CWM 3.2 or XRecovery
The default kernel recovery is CWM 5.x but the zip file requires CWM 3.x
so how can i install that zip file?
do you guys understand a bit of what i am saying?

Well i have this problem too 1hour ago, iv just put my sd crad to pc and download alfs fix, then when my phone is starting iv start pushing BACK button, after that recovery appears, and just choose install zip from sd card and here you go....

if i install alfs fix, i wont be able to enter CWM 3.2 or XRecovery, only kerne's recovery which is CWM 5.x
but CWM 5.x is not supported by my zip. it needs version 3.x

Are you shure about that you wont be able to install your zip with newer version of recovery, because as far as i know you can always install files for older with newer but you cant do it in reverse...

when i try to install a custom zip in CWM 5.x , i get an error that it is not supported and must try with CWM 3

Nope. The CWM recovery stays intact.

first of all, your phone must be root. please make sure that

Its already rooted
my phone is already rooted, thats y i have rom manager in it,
i have cm7 rom installed and cwm installed via rom manager, but it has gallery bug so i restored to my stock gb nandroid backup after restarting the phone i cant see my cwm recovery.
i have tryed all the method in xda o2x forum to install cwm in my phone but no luck, the only way i got it via rom manager, but i can access cwm through rom manager only after reboot to recovery from the app, if i try to reboot the manually and holding down the volume its goes to software update mode no cwm recovery.

oh so you're already root, i think the problem because you already flashed CM7 ROM which is ext 4. and if you want to go back to stock GB which is ext 3, you can't nandroid backup you should flash the back to ext 3 CWM zip, then you can go back to stock GB.
I'm sorry if I'm wrong.

1- no problem at all.
2- yes. Flash stock rom with odin.
3- yes.
4- stay away from rom manager, it bricked ace.

one more thing... i see in the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18178563&postcount=13 that the falsh is with the old veriosn recovery.. if i have stock rom i need only to boot in stock rom and update from zip file: recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip . correct?

Questions 1-3 have been answered.
To flash a rom, download it from xda.
It will be a ZIP file.
Go to recovery, do the wipes, install the Rom, gapps if you whish, reboot. First Boot might take a while. No worries.
For detailed instructions see the thred of the Rom of your choice.
Cheers!

[Q] Installing AOSP Beta 8 and 9 for P7300

Hi,
I have tried to install both AOSP Beta 8 and 9 for P7300. I get the error the same error message both times, status 7 which is guess is due to that I'm using the wrong CMW file (version 5.5....). Reading the forums it seems like cmw 6.0.1.0 works pretty well. Is there a repository where I can download these CMW files? I have search but not really found any good place. What combination of AOSP version and CMW is best? Do I need to change the kernal also?
Any help is welcome!
Kind regards,
Mikael Hagström

I recomand you to install the cwm 6.0.0.8, i think it's the best and this should fix your problem.

Don't think recovery version is to blame.
Do you have the 7300 or 7310 galaxy tab?
What was the last Rom / recovery that you flashed with Odin?
IIRC status 7 is an assert failure, so you could also turn off assert verification in the recovery, before flashing... Or remove offending assert from the update script in aosp ROM zip. (probably a line like test for p5 or p7300)
Or you can flash CWM 6.0.0.8 from the thread on cm9 (kallt_kaffe) , post #2. Although file is named 6008, it really is 6010... If you insist on that route

Thanks for your replies.
I have the P7300.
I'm back on the stock ROM now since I could not get the AOSP ROM to work.
I tried removing the assert lines. The tablet hang on the X (Nexus) screen when I rebooted.
I will try both again with the new Clockwork Recovery file.

Hi,
I tried again his morning. With CWM 6.0.0.8 from the thread on cm9 and the ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789464. It now installs but when I reboot is gets stuck at the black screen with the colourful Nexus X. I left it like that for 25 min but no change just the X. This is how I do it.
I start of with the stock ROM (Build number HTJ85B P7300XWKL4)
I root the device and install superuser and root check (that tells me it have been rooted)
I install CWM 6.0.0.8 from boot by running the ZIP file
I boot up into Clockwork Recovery and install the AOSP ZIP. The tablet restarts after install but gets stuck at the screen with the X.
Do I need to do a wipe?
I'm I missing some steps?

Try to fully wipe also format your /system in cwm recovery 6.0.0.8 and then try installing again and reboot it should work man!

Works now! Thanks!

[Q] cant update from ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5

I want to put a decent new ROM on this old thing but I'm have real trouble. I updated from Android 2.35 to 2.36 as I was having issues (and also as most tutorials point from 2.36). I've rooted and using Odin and and that had CWM Manager 2.0 installed on it. I added ROM Manager from the play market so I could update to the latest ClockworkMod as I understand I need that to put on a new ROM such as 4.4 - before updating it has ClockworkMod version 3.0.0.5 on it. So using ROM Manager I try and update to the latest ClockworkMod and all seems to work ok (it downloads etc) and on rebooting with the CWM Manager app it gives this error:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
A old thread on here says this: I had that problem 2 when I started. Turned out to be a recovery bug. With some batches of our phone it seems that you can only enter android recovery v3 and not cwm after rooting. Most kernels are not compatible with v3 only 2.
Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995831
Is this correct/up to date? Or have I just done something wrong/missed out an important step? Do I need to flash a different kernal or something?
thanks alot

thanks man. Looks just the ticket. I have XXJU 2.36 so I am going to try this file CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip - do I need to reset to factory again before I do this (as its currently rooted)? or will that be ok?

No should be fine just to flash, no need to factory reset, CF-Root is a stock kernel with root and cwm recovery included (it's ok that you already have root) just flash the zip file and reboot. good luck

This still isn't playing ball. I've tried a couple of times, although the instructions aren't that great: eg: To fix this, you will need to use the stock recovery option that says ‘apply update.zip from SD card’ or something similar
When the new kernal is applied a a new CWM Manager 2.0 app a Tweaks app and Superuser is added. I have downloaded ROM manager and downloaded and installed what is I assume to be the latest CWM. No new CWM app appears as an app. I then reboot into recovery using the 2nd option in ROM Manager and the same error message comes up and it is still the Android system recovery 3e.
The instructions say "you will need to do this twice when attempting to enter ClockworkMod Recovery for the first time"
Its not clear at all exactly that update needs applying but when I have tried the relevant ones it hasn't worked.
When entering CWM 3.0.0.5 (via volume up power boot) and selecting apply update from sdcard it then ended up with entering CWM version 2.1.5.2! – then there is another option to apply apply the update and it reverts back to CWM 3.0.0.5!
This is a mare!

ok another option is to flash with mobile odin (free in market) then install the flash kernel here http://bit.ly/17kEetk unzipped CF-Root and placed it in Mobile ODIN, when you open mobile ODIN it'll say you need to download extra data, but it's only if you're flashing firmware, you don't need to download the extra data just for flashing kernels so ignore it, flash it and Mobile ODIN will install CF-Root then it'll auto reboot, once rebooted, go into recovery mod and you should now have CWM as well as Root access.

Does that process get around the android recovery v3 error problem and get me to the latest version of CWM? (Is it not just flashing the same files using a different method?)
Also I understand the need to download and install Mobile Odin but I am confused though as you have linked to the following files:
MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v1.0.zip
MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v2.0.zip
unzipped these are APKs (not kernals? or are they and I'm missing something?) so do I download (presumably verison 2) and install these as an app as well? Do I then run the MobileODIN_FlashKernel app or something?
I have read this guide on Mobile Odin, which makes sense, its just the extra APK is confusing me!
http://www.shetalksandroid.com/2012...din-install-firmwares-flash-kernels.html.html
thanks

Unzip MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v2.0.zip and you'll get MobileODIN_FlashKernel_I9000-v1.0.apk, FlashKernels are special kernels used by Mobile ODIN to help flash the selected firmware if it cannot be done with the kernel you are currently running. The FlashKernel is used temporarily, it does not remain on the device after the firmware flashing is complete. Click on it to install it as a normal apk then install Mobile ODIN, next open Mobile ODIN select your CF-Root kernel (it needs to be unzipped) and flash it, after it has flashed the phone will reboot, once it has rebooted power off and boot into recovery mode, you should now be on CWM Recovery.
