[Q] Flash custom rom without custom recovery? possible?

Hi!
I've succesfully rootet my SGS. testet wtih terminal, and i got the # sign.
Also, I have suoer users installed, and granted access to ROM manager, e.g.
Now, I would like to flash darky's custom ROM. And usually, i would boot into custom recovery menu and wipe, and apply zip from sd. (this was on my HTC).
Well, this is causing me some problems. I would rather not use Odin, as it seem a bit unsafe but I installed ROM manager, and flashed Clockwork Mod recovery. Now, when I reboot into custom recovery I get the stock android recovery, though ROM manager, says my current version of clowckwork mod is installed, and all went succesfull.
Now, my question is. Can i rename the zip file update.zip and flash with the stock android recovery anyway?

When you flash clockwork i think it just puts a .zip file on the sd card so youbshould try flashing the custom recovery through stock recovery. If not then ODIN is the way to go which can be perfectly safe if done properly.
*You have to select reinstall packages i think.

Thanks
I never get into clockwork mod, so I guess I dont get the option to reinstall packages... The only option I have beside wiping and reboot is to apply update.zip from sdcard in android recovery. But I don't think there is any update.zip on my sdcard. not last i checked at least. Guess Ill have to go with Odin then :/

Usually the option to reinstall packages is on stock recovery. I might be wrong but odin is easy to do if you get the right firmware for your phone. Sorry i ciuldnt help more.

Thanks again. I get wiser by the hour
I think im on android recovery (3e) as I recall, perhaps they removed it
I was wandering. I found the clockworkmod.zip /recovery_update.zip on the sd-card. if I move this to root of sdcard and rename to update.zip, can I then flash it via android recovery with the "apply update.zip from sdcard" function, or is this not for the purpose?

That might work, you may aswell try butif not try looking at the url i posted and see if it helps. If not then im sorry for wasting your time :S

thanks, but i think Im caught in between... i cant choose reinstall packages, and I need to get back to stock kernel...
got download mode to work now, and think I know what to do from here. thanks for the link and response

Finally - reverted back to stock android recovery 2e and flash clockworkmod recovery.... but - a new problem... when in clockworkmod, i need to choose zip from sd card, when i go into this, and choose external sd, it says no files
what to do? the files are there, when I put in the sd card in the PC the files are there...

Not entirely sure but i think you're meant to put the .zip on the internal sd. If not then maybe the sd card is not fat32 format. This is only speculation :S

[Q] How to Upgrade to custom rom (ICS/JB) via stock recovery.

Hi to all!
My note is running stock GB XXKL8 and want to upgrade to custom rom (ICS/JB). I cannot use the PC odin since it cannot detect it due to faulty usb port of my note so my only option, FOR NOW , is flash via CWM. (will send it for repair next year). It seems stock recovery cannot flash custom rom because it show signature verification error.
Please advise what to do. Thanks.

Are you rooted? if not then root using any of the given methods for GB. then you will get CWM. then you can flash any rom

I'm not rooted that's why I'm having this problem.

There is a way around. Keep in mind that this will install an ics kernels and you phone won't boot normally. But you should have access to recovery. Do at your own risk.
Download the rom file you want to install and download philz kernel ddlr9 zip file. Place the kernel in the ext sd card. Boot into recovery and choose update from ext storage. Browse for the kernel and install it. Once done power off the phone and reboot into recovery again. This time you should see PhilZ CWM. Now you can install the rom you downloaded.

faulty usb port on your Note 1? booo, that's not good.
hopefully it's not your Note 1...have you tried a different PC? Maybe the USB on your PC doesn't connect to your Note very well? (and use the original micro usb wire that came with the box as well.)

Yes. It's my Note 1.
Already tried it in different PC and use original micro usb wire. No luck.

It is required that the zip file in external sd card? It seems it cannot detect my external sd card so i copy it in the internal sd card but it shows error: signature verification failed.

As the usb is not working, very limited options out there.

I wonder if there is philz kernel for kkl8? maybe that should work to avoid the signature verification error.

Isnt that a GB kernel ? its safe and philz didnot patch it

Yes, it's GB kernel. Even though it's safe for brick bug but don't have root and cwm.

for cwm there are other kernels and supersu.zip and busybox that can be installed to get root.

But not via zip in stock GB recovery. Doesn't Chainfire have an app that uses exynoss exploit to root phone?
Found it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
Edit: download the app and tap on it to install. You will have full root and then be able to use mobile odin to flash cf-root or abyss kernel. From there you can do wipes and flash ROMs safely. Good luck:thumbup:

hi shoey63, thanks for your tip, I tried the app but it shows error saying my firmware or device not exploitable. It also breaks the camera. Now I cant use my main cam anymore!
Are there no other way?

Hmm,.. best it to flash a stock ICS rom and install philz kernel from recovery and get root

how is that possible. if your device isn't exploitable, the program won't even start up.

It just show a notification that my device isn't exploitable, so it is weird that my cam was affected after installing it. The installation may have injected some codes or files that makes the camera break. When I open my main cam it shows camera failed. Hope Chainfire can fix this or there is some work around to fix it. Right now I can't even use a PC to reflash it due to my faulty usb port.

I'm going to assume the phone and computer didn't dematerialise leaving behind a vacuum, so do you have anything to report?

Are you sure the proper HTC/adb drivers are loaded so that your computer actually recognizes the device when trying to sideload the ROM?

Have you tried flashing cwm?? I have never tried TWRP, but have always been using CWM Recovery. You could try that and see if your able to adb push update.zip to sdcard or use sideload.

Use the HTCOne all in one tool to flash CWM and then under mounts and storage you can mount the phone as usb for PC, copy a new Rom accross and flash it

I think i had this problem earlier, i only made progress once i'd formatted the storage, then used CWM sideload

If you know you have some Rom on your phone downloaded look for that and install it through your recovery. If not you can format everything and see if you can sideload after that. I had this problem the other day and an old trickdroid Rom I found on my phone after digging through files saved my as$!

[Q] Need RUU for Three UK HTC One

Ok, so I'm a total noob with android, having just recently converted from my iPhone to my HTC One. I decided to root my phone a few days ago, using Hassoon2000's All-In-One Kit, and everything went smoothly without any problems. However, I decided to try and flash a ROM to disable system write protection because I couldn't update SuperSU. I used this video here
Anyway, after flashing, my phone tried to boot up and got stuck at the "HTC One, quietly brilliant" screen, and won't go any further, but I can still get into the bootloader and CWM recovery. I was told to run the RUU for my phone to unroot and unbrick, so I downloaded the file and ran it. When it was installing, I noticed that the ROM that the RUU was installing was an older version than the one on my phone, and the RUU then gave me error 131.
I'm in a dead end here, I honestly have no idea what to do, but my guess is that the RUU that I got was outdated, so I need a newer version of the Three UK HTC One RUU. Can anyone help me out here?

There is no Three RUU - Three have yet to release it. Which rom were you trying to load? Use the toolkit to sideload the rom in recovery then once you've got your phone working again, transfer the CWM nandroid backup for 3 UK from the page you've just linked to. Place it in your clockworkmod backup folder then restore it in recovery. This will get you back to stock rom if you still want it, not stock recovery though.

The file I was trying to install is linked in that YouTube video. Also, when I tried to sideload viperROM, recovery just said "unable to mount /data" and the sideload failed. I also tried using TWRP recovery to flash the ROM, it said there was no OS when I was trying to reboot.

Use this guide to push a rom to your phone, then flash it in recovery:

Also, you know that you install viper 1.0 first then to the updates one at a time in order? Just checking, apologies if you already knew that.

I did this, and then when I went into recovery to look for the ROM, I couldn't find it, and noticed that it said "Internal Storage 0 MB". Do you think I could have messed up my partitions when I originally tried to disable write protection?

[Q] Applying OTA.zip manually with stock recovery?

Is it possible to apply the official OTA update to my HTC one with a stock recovery? For some reason I've messed my phone up & gone back to S-on with 1.54 hboot. I never receive the OTA updates so usually have to wait until somebody posts an updated stock Rom but then I lose all data etc as I have to unlock the boot loader.
In my bootloader somehow I've changed the os from 2.24.401.1 to 1.00.000.0 in the hope I could flash a stock RUU which didn't work but I'm guessing that's why I can't get the OTA updates now.
I'm currently on a stock 2.24.401.1 Rom with stock recovery.
Any help appreciated please.

Apparently so according to the many website I stumbled on googling it, none seem to detail the recovery part or where to put the zip file...
Any ideas? I tried slapping it on the root of internal storage and selected install zip from internal storage and it flashes and reboots without applying... Thoughts?

I just did it, don't know exactly how.
First what I did is to copy the ota.zip to /sdcard/update.zip, using adb.
adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Then I restarted in recovery mode. I don't know how, I could make some options appear on the screen, I guess I presses vol+ and vol- at the same time for a while, then power button. I got a few errors about could no mount sdcard. And indeed, the sdcard were not mounted. I tried a few things, and the choose to apply a zip from phone memory. After look at the folder tree, I realized that /data/media/0 was my sdcard, and the update.zip was there, so I choose it and everything went fine after that.
Hope it helps.

You can only flash an ota with stock recovery if you're s-off
