CWM wont find zip - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
I wanted to update my rom before, never had any problems in the past. I have flashed many roms.
I flashed a new hboot (cm7r1, worked fine) but when i go to CWM to select the rom zip, no files are found.
I have re formatted my sd etc, the computer see's the zip file but the phone wont
Anyone?
Thanks

Do you search for zip via normal flash from SD card or via the update.zip-method?

Have you tried re-flashing CWM via ROM Manager ?

@OP: DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER! It's a horrible software which causes more problems than it solves.
A re-flash might help, but then do it via fastboot (according to your signature you are S-OFF, so you can use fastboot).

thanks guys
managed to sort it by wiping the sd through cwm
getting a new 16gb card today anyway
thanks for the help

[Q] Clockwork mod won't flash Rom, won't update

According to ROM Mgr, I have successfully flashed CWM 3.0.0.8 but when I boot into Recovery, it shows 2.5.0.1. Also when I try to flash a new ROM with ROM Mgr, I get error msg saying to check log. The only way I can flash a new ROM is to do the Update.zip thing. Nandroid seems to work ok. What am I doing wrong?
Sometimes you have to flash it twice to get it to take. Dunno why.
hope that helps.
I've tried that several times. ROM Mgr says that 3.0.0.8 has successfully flashed but Recovery says otherwise. Has to be related to the fact that ROM Mgr will not flash any different ROMs. Flashing with Update.zip doesn't give the option to wipe before reflash which worries me a little. How drastic will I have to get to fix this?

depending on what your flashing needs are, you could try to go to rom manager and flash alternate recovery ra_gnm v1.8.1 I have used it and it worked fine for me. not sure if it supports the new scripting for clockwork after 3.0.0.XX. you could also try flashing the alternate recovery and then flash clockwork back right away see if it sticks that way.
I was having the same problem i would flash in RM and when I booted the phone it will still have the 2.5 version of CW.. but Some one here in the forum gave me this file and it work just fine.... dont flash it in recovery just put it your root sdcard and power off and them power on + Vol - and you should have 3.0.8 hope it works....
I have the exact same problem as described above.... I tried the PB31IMG.zip and had no luck any other suggestions ?

I tried this. No luck. I also tried flashing several alternate CWMs. They all show as being successfully flashed in RM, but when I boot to recovery, 2.5.0.1 still prevails. ???????

The OP contains lots of advice for getting 3.0.0.8 installed and working properly.
Perhaps most importantly, make sure "Erase recovery" is checked in Rom Manager settings.

When flashing in hoot your SD card has to be formatted fat32 or it won't work..... check and see if your formatted correctly..... if not back up your files on your pc then reformat and it should work
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Don't know whether you solved your problem in the last 30 days, but my suggestion is DON'T USE ROM MANAGER TO UPDATE CLOCKWORK.
I downloaded the most recent CWM from Doug Piston's site, renamed it to PB31IMG.zip and put it in the root directory of my SD card, booted into Bootloader, when it recognized the update file, I ran the update and got to 3.0.0.8.
Meanwhile, ROM Manager still reports that I have an earlier version of CWM, and I've even gone so far as to update the .settings file to correct it, but ROM Manager blithely goes about its business ignorant of the real recovery.
Since my ROM isn't supported by ROM Manager, I figure I can just leave ROM Manager alone ---- I've never trusted backups run through it anyway; I always run Nandroids from Recovery.

[Q] Replace CWN with TWRP

Stupid question time (sorry), but I may already know the answer!
I have CWN recovery installed, but a couple of Roms I fancy trying say they need TWRP. Is it as simple as copying TWRP zip to SD card and then flashing with CWM? Would this then remove CWN?
Thanks in advance
You are correct.
Thank you Sir (I did hit 'thanks' also!)

You don't flash TWRP or CWM via zips. They are img files. You either flash them via fastboot from PC or you can you use an app like flashify after putting the img file on your SD card. Once you flash either of them, the other one gets automatically replaced
Or install flash image gui.
Thanks to the both of you - going to try using flashify now

[HELP] Unbrick HTC One X

Hey guys,
I need help unbricking my HTC One X. I was trying to set up CM11 on it but I used CWM Recovery 5.0.8 instead of 6.0.4 that it requires. I managed to remove the stock OS and now it only loads bootloader or cwm recovery.
I downloaded the stock ROM and I'm now trying to install that via recovery. This is what I've been trying to send the file to the HOX -
I've been trying to use ADB to transfer files to the device but the device can't be found (List of devices shows up blank). However, it shows up in fastboot.
I tried connecting a USB OTG to it but I can't seem to find any option to install from external USB. I tried to mount USB but it gives me an error - E:Unable to open ums lunfile.
I tried running an RUU but that didn't work either.
I'm thinking that once I can see the stock ROM file through CWM recovery, it should be easy enough to install that. So what should I be doing to get the file onto the HOX or what other approach can I use?
Will help me out a lot!
Thanks!

Thanks a ton! I managed to flash CWM 6.0.4.8 on it and then I installed CM11 and then the GAPPS. The installation went through fine and I can finally see the CM load screen. However, I think I'm stuck in some sort of bootloop since it doesn't seem to get past the loading screen.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Things are looking up!

HTC One X Semi Bricked NEED HELP.

Hello,
Well, I was trying to install some new kernels but somehow my phone went into Boot Loop.
After that, I accidentally formatted my system and system memory. End Result: Their is nothing in my SD Card Right now.
I have searched in this forum and others for 2 days and still can not find a proper solution. Now, my laptop and computer does not recognize my device through adb device. I tried to insall stock rom through RUU but it gave an Boot Loader Version Error. However, I managed to install philz recovery and tried to mount memory but still no luck, I can not push files through adb as it can not recognize my device.
My CID is 02_001. I downloaded the matched CID RUU (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_UK_1.26.206.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251230_signed) but it didnt work. My image number of the phone (I dont know what is this actually) is like 4.xxxx and the image number of the RUU is 1.xxxx.
The HBOOT version is 1.72 S ON.
Can someone by someway, please give me the link of UPDATED RUU so that I can flash to stock rom or just help me to find a way to transfer custom rom to my phone memory so that I can flash a custom rom.
I was using VIPERX ROM 4.1.1,as the phone was draining alot of battery so over efficiently I tried to FLASH BRICKED KERNEL.
NOW I AM STUCK, HELPLESS and after losing the battle I am posting this thread.
PLEASE HELP ME WITH A SUITABLE ANSWER.
I would prefer to install stock rom but it wont work I guess because of the updated HBOOT version.

[Q] stuck after installing firmware

i flashed new firmware to my htc one m8
I got into recovery and changed the name firmware file.
but now in the recovery it doesn't recognize my internal storage, kind of. it says 0 mb.
And when I try via adb to push a file to it it fails. (adb push filename.zip /sdcard/)
so it seems like i only have the external card now working.
what can I do?
I'm currently in the stage where i have the firmware file in the right name and it keeps asking me to update, if i remove the external card, i can get into recovery change the name, and then i see it won't read the internal storage like i wrote up here.
but after I change the name i can get into fastboot mode.
I currently have recovery mode - twrp 2.8.0.3
p.s I think my internal storage does work, cause i can go into recovery mode(twrp), my external_sd was formmated
before i used to update the firmware, so it has nothing except for that file
You're not flashing the firmware through recovery, are you?
No, i flashed, with the guide here, via an external card, changing the name of the firnware so the hboot would recognize it.. and update it

I was thinking that maybe my twrp version 2.8.0.3 is too old for this bootloader veraion maybe, and i need to update to twrp to 2.8.6 and then try to transfer the rom file and install it.
What do u think?
Do u have any suggestions?

I have TWRP 2.8.0.6. You can download TWRP manager from Play Store, it has a list of TWRP versions you can install. The app installs them too. Everytime I used the app to install it, it says it failed but it actually works, just install, then say ok to the failed install pop up and reboot into recovery and it'll be there.
Edit: As soon as the firmware has flashed successfully, boot up and delete the firmware file off of your external SD card so it doesn't keep asking you to update.

I have no OS now.
I need to download it, and flash it via fastboot. I'm wondering if that's the problem that the internal storage is giving me these problems or it has nothing to do with it.
Does a different firmware require different twrp versions?

Not as far as I know. Your best bet man is probably to download an RUU and just flash that through fastboot or the external sd card method. Then after that, flash the TWRP then put a ROM zip on your phone and flash that way.

What RUU should i use? Isn't that just firmware like the one i flashed now?

No, an RUU is a complete system install. Completely stock with the exception of some RUUs contain root. But it will wipe everything on your phone, all your personal data and what not.
