So, I have a rooted Desire, now Im trying to load onto it a custom ROM, for that I need the program which would normally be found on unlockr(dot)com. However I can not download it for some reason! can someone please see if they have it when they were rooting? please!
To install a custom rom you need to have a recovery mode installed. The easiest way is to install rom manager. Then install clockwork mod that comes with rom manager. Upon opening rom manager the first thing at the very top of the app is install clockworkmod. Which then allows for boot into recovery for custom rom installation.

yeah, I've done the clockworkmod, that way I installed my stock HTC ROM, but do I install a custom ROM by renaming the file into update.zip and then doing the same thing?!
thanks you your time!
With clockwork mod you can flash any zip file. No need to rename it. I take it you rooted using paul's old method. Than you can just use fake flash to load the recovery. This is a certain zip file named update.zip, which you flash from the stock rooted recovery. Then clockwork mod is loaded.
IT's not too hard
1. Download rom from xda
2. copy file onto your sd card
3. reboot into recovery
Important part!!
DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
i. select backup/restore
ii. select backup and let it rip
iii. return to menu
4. select flash .zip
5. find the rom & select it

I have rooted my branded desire from tmo this morning using the macardo method, I now need to flash the radio required to flash the new rooted froyo rom, but in the instructions it says that you need to run the recovery-windows bat file in r5 rookit, I have used the r6 rootkit because my hboot is 0.80 and I cannot find this file.
Someone has told me to flash radio using the rom manager and fake flash method, so I installed the clockworkmod recovery which I entered rebooted and installed rom manager, but when I reboot it just goes into android recovery even if I manually enter recovery or if I try to reboot to recovery with rom manager.
also I get the message cant open e:/cache/recovery/command but it was doing this before I installed clock and rom manager
What am I doing wrong
Is ther another way to flash radio

inside the R5 rootkit... when you extract the files you will find it together with the rest of the files named recovery-windows.bat file. just double click it when your phone is at the red exclaimation mark and your good to go.
In ROM manager install first the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it will download the files after that just go to Reboot into Recovery and it should automatically bring you to the Recovery mode where you can flash the ROM from your SD card or wipe the data etc...
Hope this helps. Cheers!

Thank you I installed th clockworkmod and rom manager installed th files as you said I am now finally at froyo and loving it
When I try and install a new rom from rommanager its says error cant find cache/update.zip? Im using the leedroid rom but was trying to install a new one from rom manager but keep getting this error. Can anyone explain what im doing wrong im confused
Stick the attached file on to your sdcard.
you can also do it from within rom manager by clicking flash clockwork mod.
why do you want to use rom manager to flash a rom?
you can just put the rom zip on to your sdcard, boot in to recovery
and flash from there.
Don't use ROM Manager - it's ****
Learn to use your Recovery properly
when i try to use the zip room he tell me
amend scripting(update scripte)is no longer supported
amend scripting was deprecated by google in android 1.5
it was necessary ro remove it when upgrading to clockworldmod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery
please switch to edify scripting(updater-scrupt and update binary)
to creat working update zip packages
installation aborted
what shoult i do to install the room
- Download ROM Manager App from the Market, Open it
- Then Select Install Clockworkmod Recovery. This will install v2.5 on the SDCard
- Select Reboot into Recovery from ROM Manager
- This will take you to Clockworkmod 2.5, then you can install this ROM as usual.
Remember to perform a wipe before installing a new ROM.
Boot your current rom. Root it if not yet. Install rom manager.
Then flash 2.x recovery from ron manager. Then reboot to recovery from rom manager itself. Now install your rom.
For next time to use 2.x recovery, just open the recovery and apply sdcard update (works only if u have flashed 2.x recovery from rom manager for the last time) .

it work he start install the room now
I have the same problem but the catch is: I installed HCDR.Jacobs kernel(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471) while running CyanogenMod 7.1. and of course couldn't boot afterwards . Now i can't Install a ROM that will support the new kernel and i can't install the stock kernel . I am running Clockworkmod 3.0.0.6. Can someone help??? I've got to have the phone running before Saturday
P.S. Don't tell me that I'm stupid for installing the kernel, I already know that -_-
How can I flash Clockwork mod recovery without using the rom manager app or a recovery? For some reason when I try to install through the rom manager app it won't flash, and now I have no recovery.
SOLVED: go to pvillecomp.com, find the recoveries there, rename to PB31IMG.zip, move to root of sdcard, boot into hboot and it should appear if anyone is wondering.
Helle everyone.
I am a noob here. I installed a new Android OS (i know you guys call it flashing a ROM) on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 but previously cleaned everything on my device.
Now I am running a new Android looks like the one before but I am not satisfied with it. What I want is that I could install any android version with zip file so I could install it using only the device no computers included and that's done by going into recovery by pressing power+volume up+menu simultaneously. I have done this before and installed android OS in a zip file. But now that I have installed this new android version I can't find "install zip from sdcard" when I go into recovery. Why is that? Can anyone else please help me please?
What recovery you have?
In TWRP:
Just press install and browse to file and click it then swipe to flash.
In Philz/CWM:
1. Flash zip
2. Install from sdcard
If you have non of these recoveries, then flash one of them using Odin (i don't know if Odin mobile would work)
Then try again..

I dont get TWRP or CWM
I don't understand what TWRP,Philz/CWM are? If you could please help me understand them!
I installed a firmware from a website (of course according to region)
And installed into my device using Odin on my PC. After that the recovery mode changed and I can't find some of those things i used to have
Like "install zip from sdcard" or "mount and storage" i lost those features. How can i get those back so i can install ROMs from sdcard?
You need a custom recovery like CWM. You can install it with odin. Your phone isnt rooted.
Sorry, what is a custom recovery and where can i get it? Do you have a link or a step by step guide concerning my situation?
I am using my N7100 posting this question and my phone is rooted, is there any application that can restore those things that i need ( for example, install zip from sdcard. How can i get this option back like it was before?
I think you're still using stock recovery as you don't know Twrp, cwm recovery.. They are called custom recovery. That give you more option than stock one such as flashing a new rom, install from SD card, backup your whole android system ( ROM), restoring it.. Blah blah blah...
First, have u root your phone? If so, you can go to these steps.
To install custom recovery, download latest Odin, then Google "cwm recovery for galaxy note 2 GT-N7100" and download that.. May be there'll be methods explained how to flash custom recovery.

Flash it with Odin, then you'll have a custom recovery called Twrp recovery, cwm /philz recovery. OK?

No, I am not using the stock market. I installed a new ROM (a custom one which has some nice features), and my phone is rooted (I use Titaniun backup). I flashed this custom ROM with this option "install this from sdcard" but now that i am using this ROM, I can't find that option anymore.
I'm a little bit confused why u don't know custom recovery and u have a custom rom.. To flash custom rom, u need custom recovery as far as I know...
OK.. Then, I think your recovery got some error
May be just reflash cwm recovery with Odin.. U can't flash with your phone now.. I installed cwm recovery from galaxynote2root.com.. Just Google how to install cwm recovery on GT-N7100 and look for that website.. Hope you'll be OK..

I installed an app called "recovery tool" on Play Store and helped me with what I wanted. Now I can flash with my GT-N7100.
Thanks anyway.
Thank you all for your help.
