Let me know is that work? If not I give u full guide how to prepare phone for custom rom.

The problem is that I cannot install zip file. Whenever I try to install any file through the CWM, I get the error as per attached.
I tried to reinstall the recovery and the boot files bit it is the same.

Try to change the cwm
dont install that chinese cwm, unzip and instal cwm i've just added, instal by fastboot!!!

Thanks. I'm going home, try it and let you know.
Thanks again

Hi.
I'm still getting the chinese recovery and still not able to install from zip file.

Find stock cwm
Try to instal stock recovery and after install cwm I give u before... Is ur bootloader unlocked?

I did that but still I cannot install zip file.

Ok, try this....
Just post screenshot of ur bootloader and I see what I can do....

Use this guide!
If u still have problem use this whole guide and start from begining, root again, install cwm gain and start with rom from this guide, if it works other roms will work also! So this is the guide:
Get ROOT on your Device
Get RECOVERY on your Device
Get BinDroid.zip on your Device
Reboot in RECOVERY, flash BinDroid_SensationXL_TotalWipe.zip
Reboot to Bootloader and Flash THIS BOOT.IMG | Commandline: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Flash BinDroid.zip
Reboot
HAVE FUN

Can't access recovery mode, redirects to fastboot

well, im pretty new at this, this is the first time i root and flash something in my htc vivid, i was trying to install the de-sensed rom and i followed a guide on this forum for the htc vivid, now just before installing the rom, i was told to enter recovery mode and wipe this and that and then install, but before i could i wasnt able to enter recovery mode. Im in HBOOT just as before and when i click recovery a white htc logo appears and i am redirected to fastboot, i dont know what to do, if it helps when i enter bootloader it kinda looks for some images or something like that and doesnt find any, it did that before but i could access recovery

you can get tool kit and it makes life easy and you can flash recovery in a second .
---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------
K first off u need to have the boot loader unlocked and then you need a custom recovery prog.
Then you van flash the boot IMG in flash boot cmd via pc then install the rest of the Rom on the ph in recovery , or to make life easy get the ph to s off then no pc is needed just flag the Rom ..

THANKS

[Q] Can't flash new rom. Fails everytime. Freezes at white HTC screen.

So I just got a AT&T black HTC One, unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP (first time, always used CWM in the past) rooted, s-off. Nandroid backup. I am no stranger to flashing ROMs with past devices but I CANNOT get a custom rom to install on this thing! I have tried a couple different 4.4 ROMs and each one always gives me some sort of error or failure when installing. Each time I do the standard TWRP wipe, then immediately try and flash, and they never successfully install. When I reboot it shows the HTC screen then crashes, and automatically reboots into recovery. Any ideas on what am I doing wrong? Is it something with TWRP I'm unaware of? Do the rom files have to be placed somewhere specific in TWRP?
This is what I see everytime after trying to flash a ROM:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcar(the screen cuts off whatever comes after this)
Updating partition details...
Failed
Thanks in advance!

What version of twrp? Firmware version?

TWRP = 2.6.3.0
I think firmware means build number, which is = 1.26.502.10 CL166754 release-keys
Is that what you mean? I don't remember ever changing anything relating to "firmware", not on this new phone today nor on any old devices. Just like that I feel super noobish again.

You probably need 2.6.3.4 or whatever is latest.

Welp, updating to the latest 2.6.3.3 seemed to fix it. Just flashed a ROM without errors. I'm just booting into the new ROM now and while it's going through the "Android is upgrading..." screen all indications are that it was a successful flash. Thank you and thanked!

[Q] Stuck on splash screen, unlocked, S-ON, HBOOT 1.57

Hi, I'm a newbie and I was supposed to post a thread regarding a problem I'm facing similar to this. So if it's alright, I'll post it here also and ask for your advice. I recently unlocked my HTC One w/ 4.4.2 amd Sense 6.0 a few days ago and was also able to flash CWM custom recovery and root it. I then tried flashing the latest Android Revolution HD, when I rebooted the phone after intallation, it just stays on the first spash screen. I forgot that I needed to S-off my device. So now, I can only access the bootloader and recovery. The status of my device currently is *Tampered*, Unlocked and S-On with 1.57 Hboot. Also, I can't copy files from my PC to the device. I don't know what to do. I've been reading around but I think I need some concrete advice. Thank you in advance.
Also, some already suggested that my problem is with CWM and I should flash TWRP recovery instead to flash ARHD. But the problem I'm facing is that my touchscreen suddenly doesn't respond on TWRP recovery but on CWM it works. Any idea on why this happens or is there just something I just don't see here or doing wrong with TWRP?

Hi, sorry I just saw this, where did you get twrp recovery from ?
make sure you get it from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
also can you post your "fastboot getvar all" please, make sure you remove your imei and serial number from the output before posting.
---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------
aslo, after flashing recovery, clear cache and reboot to bootloader.
ie:
fastboot flash recovery (recovery_name).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
wait for each command to complete before issuing the next, after the reboot, try recovery again.

Alright. I will post it later when I get home. Yup. I got TWRP from there but I think I downloaded the 2.5.0.0 one because it was the one on top. -__- I think that's the issue. I'll flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 as you said in the other thread. Much thanks to you.

yep, you must use at least twrp 2.6.3.3, there are newer version (2.7+) but better to use 2.6.3.3, this version is known to work properly and bug free.

Thank you to both of you! I greatly apreciate your help. My One is finally working again and even better than before! This is why XDA is the best source for all your Android needs!

Can't access recovery mode in Kindle Fire

Hello, I am using a rooted kindle fire 5th gen on 5.3.1 OS. Recently, I attempted to install a custom recovery to no avail. My problem now, however, is I have messed up the ability to access kindle's default recovery mode. I have attempted to use the button method on startup, reboot in recovery with apps such as titanium backup, rom manger, quick reboot, and I have tried using commands in terminal emulator app. Every time however my fire gets stuck at the white amazon logo on start up. I left it there for nearly 24 hours and still never booted into recovery. Each time I am forced to manually power down and turn back on for regular startup. The kindle doesn't give me any problems other than I cant access recovery mode! I would I would welcome any suggestions and greatly appreciate some help. Thank you and Happy New Year!!

I had the same problem unfortunately you can't really install custom recoveries on the fire OS 5 please tell me you made a backup of your old recovery
---------- Post added at 07:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 AM ----------
You can use flash fire to install custom roms but don't do it until you have your recovery fix if you mess up you brick your device forever if you don't have your recovery back

Here is the recovery you need to flash if you didn't back up

Thank you for helping me! I attempted to the recovery on with a command window in fastboot mode. I used the command: "fastboot flash recovery" then drug the image to the command line. Upon hitting enter it says my disc image is corrupt. How can I flash this image?

The bootloader is locked so that probably why you have that error try going to the play store and bownload an app called rashr and flash it that way
