Close your left eye... lift your right foot off the ground...turn your head toward your computer screen...and post in the correct forum.
how do I make pancakes?
seriously though, go into recovery, pick the file you want to flash, do so. the end.
(following that instruction is likely to cause problems. but so is asking vauge questions, and asking them in the wrong section, and not doing any research, and flashing ANYthing without understanding what flashing means, and... and...)

Haha, really man. Just read around through the forums and little bit. You can't flash files if your phone isn't rooted first and if you don't know what that means then try that first. If u can't figure that out then give up. Not being a ****, just saying.

hopefully you were able to figure it out...it isnt that difficult.
1) Put the file you want to flash on your SD card (not in any subfolders)
2) boot in recovery
3) choose install .zip from sd
4) choose the file
5) wait for it to be done.
probably should do a backup first.
1. put zip in root of sd card
2. reboot in recovery
just remember roms require you to wipe cache, dalvik, and data.
themes usually require wipe cache and if they specify also dalvik.
if its an upgrade you usually dont need to wipe
3.flash zip from sd card(look for the file you want to zip and confirm)
and yes wrong forum, but when you first start doing this it happens good luck flashing

I really hope someone can help me. I can not use my HTC Desire anymore.
I am using Cyanogenmod for a long time and really like it. The version I am on no is the 7.1 RC 1 mod.
This morning my phone said my sd card was damaged. It was, I had to format it in windows and the SD is empty now.
The problem I now have is a boot loop when I turn my phone on. With or without the sd card installed.
I think I have to wipe my phone but how can I do this, or how can I restore a complete new Cyanogenmod install?
Thanks very much for any support!
John
Start by posting it in the Q&A section next time.
Well how did you install cyanogen for the first time?
You install it in the same way this time as well.
Wipe in recovery & flash the .zip

I just tried that zip, it doesnt work. However in general a patch like this will work on our phone, we just need one that is right for us. And also this may be already baked into our roms.
Edit: I looked at the forums of my old phone and found a zip that works Link
So I was bored today and so I tested the different drivers with quadrant
Here are the results:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Best values are highlighted
How it was tested:
Rom: Unofficial CM9
Procedure: battery pull, test first without then with 2D acceleration, flash qualcomm drivers, repeat tests
Conclusion: I am going to use the qualcomm drivers with 2D acceleration on because it is the best in two, almost three, out of five categories
Disclaimer: As I may have fudged this up, not gotten a big enough sample, or have slight differences in hardware, I strongly suggest that you try this for yourself
Edit: if your phone will not auto-rotate after you flash the drivers just do a cache wipe and it should start working again

Open your recovery (first do a full backup!), then select "install zip from sd card" and select the zip file that you have downloaded

I hope I don't come off as a **** saying this. If you have to ask, you need to do some more reading and learning before you start messing with stuff like this.

Yes, he is just gonna have huge problems.
Hey i accident did a system wipe instead of doing a regular wipe and i can only boot into fastboot mode now when i try to boot normally it only stays on GOOGLE screen with the little unlock symbol but like i said i can get into fastboot mode. I tried using the Gnex toolkit 7.4 but it wont downlaod any roms because it says it cannot connect to Goo.im anyone know how i can get a rom on this thing? THank you in advanced.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Well...coincidentally goo.im is down.
But use post 3 of my guide (or your ******* toolkit if you insist) to push a rom.zip to your phone and install it.
Wiping system just wipes the rom.
So if you have a download for the same rom you were on...you can simply flash it and not wipe anything.

put the ROM on your SD card if you didn't do it before ..
Did you flash new boot.img of the ROM you're about to flash ??
after these , install zip from SD card
So now he has managed to install recovery. You now need to flash the boot.img from the rom you wish to use via fastboot as well as the rom.zip file via recovery. As mentioned above, follow all steps in the guide.
PS! You can expect some flaming as you should post these types of questions in the Q&A section

No worries, you can't move it. I have reported it to a mod to move to the correct section.

So did you end up flashing a ROM or do you still only have a recovery? Use twrp if you can't get cmw to mount

well that doesn't look good. can you boot to the ouya launcher or are you stuck there?
if you can boot normally i would suggest doing it your self instead of using the toolbox. its not really that hard and it gives you a better understanding of whats going on for later down the road.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295645
manually, the gist of it is use adb to move a file, then use adb to fastboot an image. you may have better luck.
works better doing a manual installation thanks
Alright! thats what i like to hear! good job brother. keep up the good work.
I have the same problem I did all the process manually and I see the same buggy menu :s what am i doing wrong?

try redownloading the CWM zip and be sure to check the md5sum, then do it manually. follow the instructions in the write up exactly.
the key is here to fastboot CWM.img first, then flash CWM.zip. notice the different file extensions! you may have flashed the .img
give it a shot and fill us in.

yes i know i put the zip on sdcard and i boot the img from my laptop ( I installed fastboot drivers on windows 8 )
I got a black screen in bootloadfer mode and I execute the img file from my laptop and I got the purple screen too
I will verify the checksums again tonight but in the tutorial i did not see any checksum or md5 to verify it :s
hmmm...crazy. OP was kinda vague in his results, but said he only got bad results using the toolbox.
you are right, no md5 :/
good to hear you got the drivers right. thats important.
other than redownloading and starting again from the beginning, i don't really know what to say. screw around with it?
sry dude.
