Hello Folks,
Im a little confused about this..
Let makes this clear: On my computer i copied the ElementalX kernel.zip
BUT
When i look into CWM (to install .zip from SD, it could not find any of the file.
SO
When i look with file explorer on my pc, it says that its on the SDcard and when i look on the HTC (with file manager) it also says its on the SCcard.
Why i cant acces it with CMW? I use CMW touch version...
It only shows this on the CMW screen:
- 0/
- clockworkmod/
- legacy/
- obb/
- +++++Go Back+++++
Many thansk for suggestions!!!:good:
If i'm not mistaken inside 0 is your sdcard.

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

Hi guys , I installed CM7 Rom (from 2.1 JFD) through Rom Manager, it works good, i put update.zip on card, but ddnt put google apps .zip file.
CM7 installed correctly. when i tried to put googleAppsUpdate.zip on card (and removed th CM7Update.zip ) and restarted in recovery from rom manager , i got An Exclamation White triangle Above and Android Man Symbol. and no progress !!!
wht is wrong ?? and how can i Install google Apps update ??
I'm kind of confused here bud, but update.zip is clockwork mod not cm7. By putting the update.zip and applying it via recovery, that would have installed clockwork recovery, and from there you would have needed to install the cm7 zip via recovery to flash cm7. The Google apps zip can be downloaded through your ron manager or via cm7 server, then it needs to he flashed the same way via clockwork recovery (install zip from sdcard).

google apps....are apps!
you can extract all the apps from the zip, and push them to system/app.
if you cant do that, try mounting system in recovery before you flash....if this was the hd2 forum, you will be hot Cheetos right now...flamed! lol

seems easy , but how exactly is system/apps ??
when i decompress the .zip i found 2 folders:
-META-INF
-system
each of , contains another files and folders , can you tell exactly where to put in details ?
thx
This belongs in the Q&A, NOT in the Vibrant Android Development

First fo all, this is in the wrong forum.
Second of all, I really believe you are probably trying to flash a version of gapps that is not correct for your device.
But either way...
The two compressed folders are
-META-INF
-system
decompress the system folder..maybe put it on your desktop or something. Inside the system folder is a series of different folders. Look for the one that is named "Apps" take that folder and place it on the root of your SDcard. Now, go back onto your phone and use Root explorer to manually move each of the apks from that app folder that you would like...and move them to system>apps. fix the permissions on the apk once you move it so that it has the same permissions as every other apk already in the folder and once you are done moving whichever apps you'd like on your phone and fixing the permissions, reboot your phone.
I have the bootloader cracked by me phone. I have followed all the steps then. When I'm in der Reboot the flash recovery at me Mobile, then I can not find the file find (Super user or whatever). I don't know where I should post the file on mobile to be able to find me. I can not come in those folders on the computer, but on the phone though. I have tried via ASTRO only that I can't. I have listed below a 2 movies uploaded so you guys can see what I mean. (sorry for me bad English, I use a translator)
i send the links later i cant post it now

I'll try to speak very clear English so when you use the translator it comes out nicely....put the "supersu" zip in your download folder...
Click install in twrp...click on "sdcard"...click on "download".. find the zip and click on it
The folder remains empty. Someone else?

What you need to do is:
- start your phone
- Unlock it
- Connect it to you PC with the USB cable
- Copy the supersu.zip file on the SD card of you phone, for exemple create a new folder called "SuperUser" on the root of your sd card
- Restart your phone in recovery
- choose to install zip from sdcard
- go in the /sdcard/SuperUser folder, choose the supersu.zip file and flash it
I can't find my flashable zips in 'choose zip from sdcard'. I tried to put it in a specific folder that I made but it is invisible in clockwork recovery. Also I noticed that old files are visible in clockwork recovery although I already deleted those old files. I can't flash custom rom because of this.
Also when I installed ARHD Google play edition 4.2.2 my virtual sdcard contents were all deleted and my backups gone. I don't know what happened, the aroma installer said that the virtual sdcard will remain untouched. Please help
Is it safe to just reflash CWM? I am having problems with cwm it can't find any file that I put in my sdcard.
-edit-
I restored my phone, safely returned from stock but problem not solved..
please help..

Is there a 0/ entry in you CWM folder list?....... if so your files are in that folder
4.2.2 has a different folder structure to support multiple user.
When you copy a custom ROM.zip to the phone, you find it under SDcard/0/
Make yourself familiar with the new handling of SDcard under 4.2.2
It is explained in the forums

The CWM backup is located in '/data/media/clockworkmod/backup/' (from root) and is not visible from the pc.
Using ES file explorer or root explorer copy the folder in the '/data/media/clockworkmod/backup/' directory to '/data/media/0/' and then you'll be able to see it from your pc and copy across....... remember to delete the copy from '/data/media/0/' afterwards

Unfortunately, i do not have such directory path like you specified.
I installed Clockwork Rom Manager and it tells me the backup is in inaccesible area, path: Device: mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup
But the mnt/shell folder is empty and I cant find clockword folder. Any solution to this ?

No it can't be empty.... check your file explorer is root enabled, if you're using ES then settings>tools>root explorer
