[Q] Install zip from SD Card option not visible

I recently got a Incredible S and was considering rooting it. So I went through the topics here and people kept mentioning the option you see on the main menu to "install zip from SD Card".
Just to ensure that I knew everything before I went ahead and rooted, I went to the HBoot screen(volume down and power). My phone was locked(S-ON) and on the screen I could not see any option to "install zip from SD Card". Am I missing something? I am posting a picture of my Hboot screen.
Also something I noticed was that the screen would refresh and automatically run a check to see if any images were present on the sd card. Is this normal?
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but I am confused and just wanted to be sure.

To be able to see that option you require to root, then flash clockwork mod recovery.
Then you will have the modified recovery with that option to flash roms.
1. Root with Revolutionary
2. Flash ClockwordMod Recovery (To find out how to do this go HERE)

Thanks neo, that helps a lot.

Yea, I just went to the Revolutionary IRC channel and they were quite helpful. The rooting was quick and easy

Incredible S - HBOOT-2.01.0001

Hi Markj338,
You installed the ICS-4.0.3 (incredible S)?
What team?
This version you have installed, has any bug?
thanks.

No? What are you talking about?
I downgraded, s-offed, rooted, and installed recovery, then I flashed a few different roms, before flashing trinity sensation XL as my daily rom

Please help

I have ICS on my HTC vivid, I don't lke it at all I want a regular sense 3.5 Rom like rolliraider, or rumraider. It won't let me boot into recovery...I don't know what to do please help me

what do you mean it won't let you boot into recovery? are you pressing the correct buttons?

Did you unlock the bootloader and flash CWM recovery?
Also why did you create a new thread when the other one created asked the same question?

If you ota upgraded to ics thats why you can't get into recovery.
You gotta have a nonstock recovery (ie: CWM, or WC's recovery)
You'll have to flash a new boot.img, a GB friendly kernel, possibly reflash the cwm recovery (All through fastboot usb) and then flash the GB rom you want.

[Q] Pre - Flashing Questions?

Hey once again its me!
Just a few questions away from flashing Virtuous Affinity 2.05.0!
1. I have made a backup using 4Ext, does that mean i still have to make one with Nandroid?
2. Whats with all these radios? Can I use the radio
--------------------------------------
3805.06.03.03_M
--------------------------------------
for Virtuous Affinity?
3. Would this guide to flash something by Vampire36 be ok?
---------------------------------------------------------
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731
----------------------------------------------------------
4. Anything Else?

1. No
2. Try not to change your radio if it works fine, but if you decide to it anyway avoid to downgrade, it will brick your phone
3. I do the following steps : -reboot to recovery
->backup(you already done this step)
-format all partitions(except SDcard)
-install zip from SDcard
-reboot system
4. No

and wat are kernels and would i need to update mine?

I am using Virtuous Affinity, and i never flashed an alternative kernel.

Thanks, But ...
Thanks,
and which recovery did you use.
I had CWM but changed to ext4 recovery because heard it's easier and user friendly. So if i used ext4 recovery what would be the steps?
and for future reference how would i remove ext4 recovery and go back to CWM if I wanted to?

I use 4ext, i like it to more then CWM. The steps are from my first post in this thread.
If you want to return to CWM the easiest way is to install Rom Manager from Play Store and install it from there.

ok so your method is 100% safe and guaranteed success?
EDIT: What happens if i get into a bootloop (where i get stuck at the HTC screen), do i just boot into recovery and flash my backup?

nothing is 100% safe, but that's the way i would do a change of rom/recovery

so you would prefer your method instead of

because it says thats the perfect way to flash...

No offense, this is my last response, you have to try to read/search the forum for the answers you need. And you don't need to thank me on every post(appreciated but not needed).
I don't say that vampire36's method is wrong, i never tried it. I think my method does the job. I flash a minimum of five rom's per week(still no problems).

flashing a sense rom?

Hey can someone help me with this? My nexus is rooted and on stock 2.3.6. I tried downloading the cm7 r2 hboot for the runnymede sense rom but for some reason in recovery it will not flash that hboot. Im using clockworkmod recovery. What step am i missing to flash this hboot file so i can flash this rom? I downloaded the hboot file off of alpharev site. I even renamed the file PB99IMG.zip and also update.zip and both did not work in hboot mode and recovery. Any help would be great.

Have you installed Blackrose? You have to install Blackrose before you can flash an hboot.

How do I flash black rose? I'm actually new to the nexus one. I've had a few android phones but not this one. I actually got the sense rom to flash but it got stuck on the X screen with the unlock icon and it won't go past it? Is that because I don't have black rose? I believe I have the stock hboot.

are you trying this runny rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580873
if so, then you dont need blackrose. stock hboot is fine. but ext partition of 1GB is compulsory. before flashing the rom, did you flash alignment_cool provided in the first post ? better use 4ext recovery

I did flash the alignment cool zip file first and then the rom. I used amon ra recovery and clockwork mod. Both left me stuck. When I flashed the rom it took me to aroma installer and I tried stock hboot and used the regular method and custom method and neither worked. What am doing wrong? And about how long should I be stuck at the boot
Screen before it loads into the sense rom?

But did you partition to one GB or more? If I remember correctly alignment_cool is to change the partition from ext3 to ext4 (required). Sense ROMs take up a lot of room. The partition is for system and everything else (apps 'n stuff).
Or you could use EXT4 Recovery Touch,save yourself some trouble, partition your SD card to ext4 via the tools (highly recommended) and flash your ROM there.

hello, you can't flash recovery with cwm. or i don't know how to do. you have to push it into your phone with sdk ,nothing complicated,just follow step by step tuto for flashing recovery with android sdk.
Enjoy

Hey, once you flash RUU you dont need to flash stock recovery since it already exists
Seeing a red triangle in stock recovery is very obvious as you cant get into stock recovery
Infact thats why we need custom recovery!!!
You getting my point??!!
So do nothing mor
You are perfectly stock after RUU
Get sON if you want to so that you make your phone as it was on its first day
Lol

thanks for the reply, I did press the thanks button
so, for clarity, I flash the stock ROM from cwm and then push the recovery with SDK?

recovery
remember i dont know cwm and dont like this app type,maybe it's possible but better and funny way (more serious and polyvalent) is SDK
