Hi I recently just installed clockworkmod by chainfire and now i'm trying to flash a rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844343 ) but when ever i go to install a zip from sd card i can't find the the rom zip file... any help?
sorry wrong forum just saw this is s3 after i posted it... DELETE PLEASE
Don't you dare flash that rom on your S3. If the rom doesn't come from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1706, don't flash it.
Now, as to why you can't see the zip - you are looking in the wrong location. Where is the file on the SD and where did you tell CWM to look?
Woah, no kidding. Brick city!
Id say you just got real lucky dude!
You may need to do a little reading the stickies before trying to go much further. And ask if your not sure of something.

Basically I made a mistake and encrypted my CM9 install and then CWM wouldn't recognize my sd card partition so I can't flash roms. I then made another stupid mistake and tried to use boot manager to boot another ROM. Now it just hangs on boot. I can get into ODIN mode and into recovery but I can't do anything.
Please advise.
I'm just going to start by saying all questions go in Q&A. Not that I particularly care but there are many people that do. Can you boot into boot loader? Is it unlocked?

Ok, disregard my post. I seem to have fixed it. I used odin to reflash everything. I followed the instructions from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426207
Downloaded Odin from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?p4ur1ynojpwlqtk
Used the samsung drivers from here:

And the image from here:

I had trouble finding them all so hopefully this helps people in my same situation track everything down.
Lol the hell man. Anyways, thankfully it worked out.

If maybe a mod could move my thread I would be grateful. I didn't notice the sticky about the Q&A forum. I don't post too often on XDA (mainly lurk) so I didn't even think to look.
Okay so I Am trying to teach myself how to do some of this stuff. I really like to play with computers and I have always been really good with them but I have always been self-taught. Anyway I am trying to pull the stock recovery image for the 2.3.6 update we got. So what I did was I went to the thread where it was posted here and took the file (SGH-T989_TMB_1_T989UVKL1_CL799405_REV00) and unzipped it in WinRAR then I extracted a file called recovery.img
So is that it? Is that how to get the stock recovery? If I flash that through Odin then CWM will be gone? If I wanted to make it flashable through CWM can it be done and how would I do that? If that is not the right way to do it then what is the proper way?
I appreciate any help anyone can give me it is not a big deal but I just want to learn how to do things for myself so I don’t have to rely on others. So if anyone wants to share and teach I would really appreciate it.

Not sure you can flash a recovery.img via CWM, MAYBE, but I am going to go out on a limb and say, not, because if you are in CWM, the recovery partition is mounted and in use, so it will not let you overwrite it ....
yeah I kinda was thinking that too but I wasnt sure thanks for the info
For starting out you can look for a rom kitchen (forgot name sorry) update your phine to latest ota then do a nandroid backup from cwm and then load those files to kitchen and create it like that.
hit the THANKS for me.
I think i saw something avout rom kitchens somewhere a quick searcj should turn it up thank you

Go to the development page and one of the sticky topics shoukd have every thing you need to known including getting your recovery. I good luck and read through some stuff before posting. I stuff like recoverys root tutorials and general info like that is usually stickied in the development section

Look I know you're new to this and all but you should really read and research. I'm sure that there are many threads that will answer the majority of you're newbie questions. Worst case scenario is bricking your brand new S3, which I doubt that you want to end up with.
Good luck on your endeavors :thumbup:

Hey guys, my wife has my old HTC Amaze, which is still rooted, and she decided to try a new Rom finally. I updated Rom Manager and CWM but it would only flash one of the 4 that I downloaded. 2 of them it wouldn't even see on the sd card, even though you can see it on es file manager and if you just go to "install zip from sd". The ones it did see wouldn't boot past the first screen. I know they work because I used them. I'm asking over here because I know where the good minds are! Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Information is not much good to us without ROM names. Mostly just want Android version numbers.
ROMs that wouldn't boot - factory reset.
ROMs you can't see - look in the 0 folder.
Try a different recovery
If you stuck on boot screen. Goto recovery and wipe cache. Some time system reset solves this problem.
Add for not seeing the ROMs. Check following.
1 Maker sure thy are in zip format(I know you are clever)
2 restart your phone go back to recovery(this solves the issue some times)
3 try twrp recovery

Let's hope this works for you. Let's us know how's it going.

Whatever issues and problems you are having will most likely get worst unless
you go to the correct forum for the " HTC Amaze" phone and ask for help there.
I am sure you would not want to end up with a shiny brick.
Here is the link for the HTC Amaze XDA forum:

Hey guys I got the s3 today and I need some help to root it. Is there a way that you can just flash the cwm zip file In stock recovery and root it?
Or is there a community custom kernel out there that u can just flash and it installs busybox and SU?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
Run Root66 through Odin and it will Root stock for you.
Since you just got the phone today, I suggest you read around a bit before opening threads like this. There are tons of guides and the like out there, all for the taking and have been here for some time now. Check the Stickies and use Search in the Q&A section.
Good luck and welcome to the T999.
