[Q] Why does CWM remove its own update... - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why is it that when I Flash a new ROM to my Buzz that CMW version changes back to the one that I originally installed rather than being the updated 5.xx version that I have installed?
P.S. I have searched everywhere on here to find out BTW.
Thanks to any answerers.

I find that very hard to believe, what I suspect is that its not replacing your actual cwm but the rom manager cwm version and the reason that is, would be the version of rom manager the new flashed rom your flashing is not updated. Rom manager is normally included as a system app in many roms so when you wipe to flash the new rom,the rom manager version you were using will now be replaced with the included apps version within the rom your flashing. Turn your phone off and reboot into hboot (power button and volume down) to access your phones cwm version to check, I bet this remains the same whatever rom your using. Hope this helps your queery. Regards Slymobi.

You may have used the update.zip method, which is temporary. Try using the P49IMG.zip method (I think it is in the dev section)

How to get back to stock rom

Hi 2 all!
I just flashed my device with android 2.2
But how can I get back to stock rom (RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865)?
The update program does not recognize my phone?
thanks
If you have flashed 2.2 then you have obviously rooted. It is just a matter of finding the rom you want. Put it on your SD card, and then use rom manager to flash it.
What exactly is not recognised?

...the htc rom update util does not recognice my handset...but I finally managed it. I had a backup and restored it with the rom manager.
How can I add the stock rom to the sd card. I looked at the files included in the stock rom (when it was extracted when entering setup) - do I need all files? Must I zip them??

Check the stickies. There's a thread full of stock ROMs (as .zips). Put it on your card, backup existing ROM, flash from zip (via ROM Manager or recovery).

I know this is for another thread but ROM manager is a tad temperamental on my phone. Won't let me install clockwork and Won't boot into recovery. All other tasks are greyed out. I do have ROOT and I am running a debranded ROM on an Orange phone.
Will take a look at the link above

....how I got back to stock:
I had a backup og my current stock rom with the rom manager. Within the rom manager I restored it. Thats all.
PS: There is nothing wrong with 2.2, but I like 2.1 stock ;-)

How do I update CWM?

I wanted to give CM10 a try, but I kept getting an assert error when I tried flashing it in recovery. I read a bit and it seems I need another CWM version.
I'm currently on stock root, using this guide.
I installed Rom Manager from the market, however when I try installing CWM from the app it doesn't list my device.
Thanks in advance.

My model is SGH-I747M
I downloaded the AT&T CWM recovery from the website, can I just repeat the third step of the guide in my first post, using the img I downloaded?
AT&T cwm recovery is listed in rom manager app.
Rom manager shows ATT Galaxy s3 for me, updated mine from the CWM included in the Root giude through Rom Manager. It was near the bottom of the list, so maybe take another look?
I checked again just now, no GS3 listed.
I browsed the forum a bit and seems people with Bell don't have their device listed in Rom Manager.
My issue is solved.
Those on Bell don't see their device in Rom Manager, but I found this thread that helped me to flash another recovery.

Would that be TWRP? Cuz I had same issue and we can't update cwm rec on our phones so I got TWRP and bingo cm10 installs easily and I now have a better recovery module too!

it not a problem , its just your phone is rooted so this rom you running doesnt have that option , you will have to download a rom you need like 4.2.2 with sense 5 manually , and flash it from the recovery if you know what i mean, :good: remember to thanks

yes, you need to find out your cid and main version using this command "fastboot getvar all", then you need to flash the stock recovery and stock odexed rom, relock bootloader and then you should be able to receive OTAs... look around for guides

Basically the phone will get update via OTA if it's on stock rom and stock recovery. Seem yours is not on stock rom.
My question is: how do you know there is an update when your phone is having trouble with "check for update" function?
Aldo, pls post the screenshot of "Software information" and Kernel information (click "More" inside Software information).

I asked just to make sure your phone is not on 4.2.2 and that you want ota 4.3 update.
Well, by the screenshot, you're on custom rom.
Now if you want stock 4.2.2 with sense 5 please do as follow:
1. Flash stock rom 4.2.2 (odexed) or nandroid
- Steps:
+ Identify your cid, and download stock rom or nandroid backup
+ Unlock bootloader (if locked)
+ Flash custom recovery (twrp, cwm..) and copy rom to phone memory (sd card)
+ Boot into recovery: Either flash stock rom or restore from nandroid backup file (remember to follow rom instruction carefully)
+ Reboot and there you go.
2. In case there is no 4.2.2 stock rom/nandroid but 4.1.1 only:
- Do same as above steps and your phone is now at stock rom 4.1.1
- Flash stock recovery (required)
- Reboot and check for OTA 4.2.2 update
- After OTA update, perform nandroid backup and save for future usage.
Report the result.
EDITTED:
Please make sure to backup your phone's data before proceeding as you might lost during rom flashing!

Problem with CWM and Flashing Custom Roms

Hey guys i need some help. I took out my old Galaxy Grand Duos and thought about rooting it to get Android Kitkat ( I have an International version which has never been rooted before ). I rooted it successfully however I am facing problem with the CWM recovery. When i first installed it I was getting the 'No Command" error. I read on XDA that I need to perform a battery pull in order to get the CWM working. I did that and it worked but it only works when I use odin to flash it. Otherwise when ever I enter recovery I get the 'No Command' error. What should I do?
Secondly im trying to install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563557 . When i get the CWM working (by flashing it with Odin) there seems to be an error which prevents me from flashing this rom. The message I get is *Cant install this package on top of incapable data. Please try another package or run a factory reset. Error in (the file location and name) (Status 7) Installation aborted*
Thanks in advance

No Custom ROMS will install - Won't open ZIP

Hello all,
Apologies if this has been asked before but can't find a concrete answer or a way to fix this.
My phone is rooted, unlocked and S-Off . When I go into recovery and to install my new rom they all fail saying can't open Zip file. I have used both TWRP and CWM but both give me the same message.
I tried the new VIPER Rom, the new InsertCoin Rom for my HTC One M8 and all give me the same.... I've downloaded twice, put them from computer straight to my phones sd card and then tried internal storage but nothing seems to work?
Can anyone help out?
