[Q] advice needed please guys

i have a desire that has been unrevoked and clockworkmod installed i have also installled miui rom, but i would like to install amon_ra recovery as i prefer it as it has partition tools and alike and its what im used to as i have a Hero as well.
my question is this can i use unrevoke on the rom i have installed to flash the amon_ra recovery or not? or can i just use a terminal emulator like i did on the hero when i update it.
or is there another way
p.s it is not s-off ONLY unrevoked
thanks in advance

Should be able to do it again and flash AmonRA over CWM - not tried it myself, though

well i will give it a go later

Can I manually install clockworkmod and root?

So I have a macbook pro and I was following the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808103 on how to do the one click recovery for mac but I keep getting the error message

So I need to know how to root and install clockwork mod. I do not have access to a windows PC at the moment...
Thanks

You can use z4root from the market to root. Then you can use ROM Manager (market) to install the redirector.

it wasn't on the market, but I found it on google
Will try it
Thanks

You know.... Im not having any luck AT ALL at this stuff
I'm running this app and it just keeps quitting... I already restarted the device and tried again. The process starts, it moves and then the phone vibrates and the app quits without finishing the process....
Arghhh!!!! Im tired trying to root this thing and installing clockworkmod

You can't use rom manger to install cwm.

If you can't get it to work, your best bet is to get your hands on a windows machine and run it from there.

So, can I install the supernova Rom without root and also without the clockworkmod using the standard method down vol, power button, camera button?
What happens if I do this process?

No. If you use standard recovery, you need a properly signed update.zip which you won't find. You need clockworkmod to flash different roms and you need root to install clockworkmod. Once you have cwm, you can use rooted or unrooted roms, but most roms come rooted.

You can't install cwm.on the stock di18 kernel using rom manager.

Sucks man. I need a PC then. Using a mac and z4root is not helping...

Sorry to tell you (again), but you are wrong. If the Epic is rooted, with z4root or otherwise, rom manager can ABSOLUTELY install cwm 2.5.1.0 on ANY stock release. Please stop posting inacurate information on this. Thanks

Any idea why I still have the stock recovery?
For whatever reason the stock kernel will not support rom manager- before the last update there was a modified stock kernel made by koush that supported rom manager. Right now if you want rom manager support you must have a kernel that supports it- the good news is a lot of those kernels have root built it.
As I said before use noobnl one click clock work installer - just start with the "runlast" file- another option is to use the oneclick root/clockwork stickied to the top of the dev forum. After that you can get to clockwork via the three button press and go crazy installing whatever kernel/rom you want
This is a quote from another forum on using rom manager to install cwm on stock. Sorry Leatherneck I just do not see any info that says you can use rom manager to flash cwm.

It is possible to do pretty much all of it with better terminal emulator, especially if you're rooted. I was thinking about doing a write-up on it, but I'm half drunk tonight and about to move tomorrow. It'll be a few days at the least. If you can follow code at all, you can download the one click root and recovery and translate the adb commands in the .bat file into something you can do from a command line.

full rooting and flashing problems!? help!!?

All day today I have been trying to root my phone, I used the comprehnsive guide btw. I'm on 2.1 di18. And i used root checker and it says I don't have root access but busybox installed. Superuser is also installed. I use noobnl one click root exploit. Then I use the oneclick clockworkmod. so I keep running these bats over and over again and I got errors etc. The thing is when I shut off phone, it boots into clockworkmod recovery when I hold down volume down and camera. But I'm still not roted. Can someone help me. What am I misiing?? I'm new at this so bare with me. And I tried the update.zip wit noobnl update fix thing and tried flashing the clockworkmod kernel!! Please help thanks!!!

Is this what you used to get root and install recovery? If not it should be.

[Q] How to get CWM recovery working after unlocking bootloader through HTC

I have an HTC Explorer and have installed CM 9 easily. Unlock bootloader through HTC , install custom CWM recovery using fastboot, then install CM 9 zip from sd card using CWM recovery. I have tried to do the same with my daughter's Wildfire. I get as far as installing a CWM recovery but it hangs at a "hat" icon when I try to use it. I have tried several CWM img files, including the one in the "cm49?" zip. None work. Is there a way for me to get a CWM recovery working? I don't want to go through all the s-off process, I don't think it is needed. My Explorer works great with s-on. I hope someone can help. I promised my daughter I would get ICS on her phone as her Christmas present.

If I'm not mistaken you have to flash the boot.img manually with S-ON so I think a S-Off'd device is much better and it isn't that hard to S-Off it. I don't know if the S-Off methods still work if you unlocked it before but they should.
Besides you haven't taken the CWM from Pico/Explorer and tried to install it on the Wildfire, have you?

Thanks for your reply. All the cwm img files I have used have come from this forum. I had high hopes for the one I extracted from "pc49img.zip" as it seemed to say it might work on another post. It installed like the other but doesn't work.

I got a question are you just unlocked or already rooted on the WF? I think you can't install CWM if you're not rooted. That would be nice to know. Otherwise you can may follow this guide

Just unlocked after following the procedure on "htcdev.com". With my Explorer you can root the phone with the aid of the CWM recovery you install after unlocking it. Maybe the CWM recoveries for Wildfire assume your phone is already rooted, but I don't know how to root it without having a working CWM recovery first.

Yeah you're right. I think the progress on S-ON should be like this:
-flash CWM
-flash superuser rights (thats how it worked on the HTC One X)
I found this:

Thanks for all your help miniAndroidian (the Nexus 4 should be awesome, (I am saving up, but they are not available in Australia at the moment. I told my daughter she should get one too, but she hasn't got the money either, so that's why I am working on the Wildfire)
Unfortunately the post you directed me to says you have to flash the CWM recovery from the stock recovery but I don't have that anymore as I have replaced it with the CWM recovery which just hangs. There must be a way round it, but I am no expert at all.

Same in Germany with the Nexus 4 but it should be avalible in the middle of january
Back to the topic:
You have to put the "update.zip" to the root of your SD-Card and boot into the bootloader menu (the white screen with 3 android's on the bottom) and then it should recognize the new CWM.

Terrific. I didn't understand it. My daughter lives 100km from me so I will have to visit her this weekend. She left after Christmas saying "Dad, admit it you are a failure" after I had spent hours on it, so this might show her I am not as useless as she thinks. I am intending to flash the "mini" CM 9 rom. I hope this is the best one.

I really hope it works (i'm out of solutions ) otherwise you should really think about S-Off'ing it.
miniCM 9 is the fastest one but the sensor buttons don't give a vibration feedback it's a kinda annoying.
Good luck

I have had a very very frustrating day. I tried "update.zip", didn't do anything. I even renamed it "pc49img.zip" nothing. I finally found a windows program called "unlock root". I used the free version. You just connect up the phone via usb and press root. It gets you to confirm it is a wildfire and then after a bit says successfully rooted. I then installed Superuser, Rom Manager and ES File Explorer to check it.
I backed up the present rom successfully with Rom Manager. It even has an option for flashing Clockworkmod recovery and one for rebooting into recovery for manual management. It downloads CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 but it doesn't work either (looking at the files on the SD card I think it is just the same as the "update.zip"). There is also an option for installing a rom from sd card but when I went to this it asked if there was any addon, and of course I need tiny gapps. It then said I need the paid version for this. Seeing the recovery didn't work I didn't want to risk it.
My conclusion is all the present CWM recoveries require S-Off. I have read some people like the Aroma installer. I know nothing about it, but I wonder if it might be possible to install the CM 9 rom with it.

I have worked out what my problem has been. I have fallen for the old Trackball trick. I must be the only person not to know you use the Trackball in CWM recovery not the power button. I sent my daughter an email and she has confirmed the recovery in Rom Manager actually works when you use the Trackball. I will have to visit her again now to install CM 9.

MiniCM9 installed. Working great. I will put a how to in "General"

How can i create a back up on my s4 mini

Hi all. I have rooted my s4 mini using kingroot. I have installed adaway and xmod because they were my main reasons for rooting. But i'd like to go a bit deeper now and learn a bit more about rooting as im a novice. But before i can do that ive read that i should create a back up, am i right in thinking a nandroid and a back up are the same thing? Well anyway my problem is ive tried to create a back up using cwm rom recovery but my device is not supported. Ive also read something aboit phils cwm recovery 6 ( at least i think it was called that) but from my understanding i need access to a laptop or a pc to be able to take that route. I dont have access to a pc or laptop at the moment so im just here to ask if anybody can advise me on how i can create a back up for my device. My plan is to learn the ropes using this device as its an old device and when im more comfortable im going to root my galaxy alpha. Any help and answers will be appreciated, im not so great with tech and the lingo but im wanting to learn. Thanks

Unrooted
Well i have unrooted to be safe. My son plays with my phone and i dont feel safe without out a back up or nandroid. I would still like info so i can reroot n get adaway back and xmod for the unlimited lives on candy crush, and sandbox mode on clash of clans. If anybody has any info that could be of any use to me, even just a link to point me in the right direction it would be great.

Try installing TWRP for backups. i am also a beginner but i tried backing up the stock rom, flashing custome roms, And restoring the backups. Done this almost five times a week.
Here are files.

Forgot to mention that my stock rom is 4.2.2 Jelly bean. I had flashed cm12.1 rom before, which triggered my knox to 0x1.

Thanks il check those out now

Yes twrp is a good recovery...i am using it too and it can be installed without a pc

Davidich could you direct me to a link or explain how i can install it without using a pc. Do i need root to install it or can i create recovery then reroot? Is it as simple as finding file and installing it by checking unknown sources. Then opening up twrp app and applying recovery? Or do i need to go into download mode to apply it? Any answers will be appreciated. Thanks

Well ive rooted again and installed twrp because i needed root access to enter twrp. When i open twrp it asks me to install busy box, i accept the request but it doesnt download. What is busybox? Do i need it to back up? Ive just read something about mounting system using terminal emulator and then that should allow busybox to download. Am i going in the right direction?

Please Anyone give me a backup of stock rom for Samsung galaxy s4 m919

Busy box can be downloaded directly from play store. As for installing a recovery without a computer well that's RISKY. There are apps that can help like Flashfire, Rashr and Flashify. These can flash various things without a custom recovery. BUT they are not guaranteed to work. My experience is with Flashfire by Chainfire. With this I was able to flash a stock ROM without a computer. But the app when I last looked was in beta stage. Also if something goes wrong you will need a computer to fix... If it hasn't bricked your phone. Sooo much safer thru Odin on a computer.
