Good Morning Guys, I thought I posted this already but I can't find the post now so must of forgot to submit it before I ran out the door for work.
I sucessfully rooted my phone last night and all seems sucessful. I want to put a new rom on it (possibly the new one)
However at the bottom of the instructions I was following it then said download and apply this Recovery Image. What is this about and is this needed?
I read somewhere that it must be a certain recovery image and I am a bit worried about this part so was anyone could point me in the right direction to what recovery image I need to download and instructions how how to do it?
Thanks.
Can anyone help me????
PRETTY PLEASE
I promise to stop bothering you all once I have managed to get a custom rom on once...
You need a custom recovery to be able to flash a ROM. This can be done either by running the last part of the rooting instructions again OR using Fake-Flash (some will say just use ROM Manager but I think it's pants personally)...
Download THIS, rename it to update.zip (not update.zip.zip) and copy this to the root of your SD card. Also copy the ROM you wish to use to the SD card. Then use this to enter the custom recovery to flash a custom ROM (to get to the recovery, turn the Desire on whilst holding down the vol. down button, select recovery from the menu and press power and then when at the red ! screen press power and vol up at the same time and then select 'apply sdcard:update.zip')
or simply download the rom manager from the market its free installl it and then go into it, and at the top you will have a FLASH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY and your current one undeneath, so you click on that It will ask you to confirm your phone and the allow it to access the root and wait till its done and voila and then all you do pretty much is put a rom onto your partitioned sd card (swap0 ext3 256/512/768/1024mb) and Install it via the rom manager
I did say you can use ROM Manager but I think it's **** personally - I prefer to see what I'm doing (and it's a LOT quicker)

Thanks for the info all make sense to me now I am about to give it ago. Got 40 minutes until I am leaving hopefully thats enough time If not can someone quickly tell me to stop! Thanks.
HELP ME :-(
Ok I tried following instructions I installed the Recovery Image that went through fine. I used fake-flash with the rom in a zip on the sd card went into recovery fine loaded the fake flash which all worked perfectly. Selected install from zip on sd or what ever it says selected the rom zip file.
Took about 10 minutes cant rember if it said failed but when I rebooted the phone I just ended up with the red triangle and exclmation mark. I did a restore with nandroid (backed up before trying the rom and now its back to how it was.
I got the rom from cookandroid.com using the Official Froyo from OpenDesire.
What am I doing wrong as I am sure its me
Had another go this morning using the same downloaded rom I used last night and worked perfectly this time. After the rom installation it rebooted and of course the radio didn't work as that needed up grading so installed the radio then did a wipe on the phone and its brilliant. Haven't played with it much yet so that is what todays 'TODO List' contains
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Max
Yep, once you start doing it, you will find out that flashing different roms is actually more interesting than using the phone...

Hello,
I am a little confused here...
I've rooted my phone with auto root method. Downloaded Calkulin's "format" file, and rom itself.
But when i'm trying to apply format file, looks like it freezes, there is only a triangle with exclamation point and android on the screen, and nothing going on.

There are several things.
First, if you just wanted to be a root user, then you are done with installing 'auto root' package.
But if you want to flash the new ROM, then there are many ways doing that.
The easiest way is using self extracting odin package. Based on your description, I think you are trying to flash Calk's rom. If you are using his zip file, then you have to start your phone with recovery mode. volumn up + pwr button together will bring you to the recovery mode. If the recover mode is stock recovery, then you have to install CWM recovery or Rogue's recovery.
Once you finish the CWM recovery, go to the recovery mode again. It will show different recovery screen and from there, run Calk's format all zip file.
Most important thing is, you need to nandroid backup your current rom and data through the CWM recovery. So, you could go back if something goes wrong.
One more thing is, you need to know what you are doing and right procedure to flash the Rom. There are lots of great information about this in this forum. So, before doing anything, read what you need carefully. That will save your time a lot.

Thank you for this. I thought that i am familiar with procedure, never had a problem with EVO
Can you point me to the right CWM recovery?
Looks like i got it, thank you kobridge!
Hi, I'm new here & I've been searching countless hours through the forums & Google trying to find my answer but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
This is my first time I ever "root" my Android device, I've had experience in jailbreaking my iPhone in the past but nowadays even a baby can do it.
The thing is, I was following these guides here trying to flash this Jelly Bean rom:
(Apprently new guys can't post links to guides... okay..
*guide 1
*guide 2
I have a T-Mobile T999 Model so I got that nailed down.
When I boot into that recovery whatever I get a different screen than the one presented on this screen:
*picture 1
==========================================
When I'm around that step I get :
"Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select. (though in the tutorial it says home? wtf?)
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apple update from cache
==========================================
That's all I get, though in the tutoral it says:
"Copy the downloaded zip files from step 3 and step 4 to the internal SD card. Do not extract them."
&
"Select install zip from sdcard, then select choose zip from sdcard. Scroll to the ROM file on the SD card and select it. Confirm installation by selecting Yes – Install _____.zip on the next screen. The ROM will start installing."
Though, the thing is. I don't have "Install zip from sdcard" just some big ol' robot in the background with some wierd stuff in his chest like blue wires. What happened?

You are still on stock recovery. You need custom recovery to flash roms. To get a custom recovery use odin. Found here-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421&d=1341114315
Download one of the attached recoveries and load in PDA slot of odin.
When you open ODIN, there will be 2 boxes checked. F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot. I recommend that you uncheck Auto Reboot so only F.Reset Time is checked. When the flash is complete,(green box says PASS!) your phone will not reboot by itself. From there Hold Vol-Up+Home+Power and boot straight to recovery.
Once you boot into custom recovery, flash this to root your current rom http://k0nane.info/rom/ecm/TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip.
Alternatively, you can just skip to flashing your CM10 rom (after a nandroid backup of course)

Hello!
I've done this Odin portion already, I've already gotten past the Odin "PASS" & all that good stuff. The thing is, when I do Vol-Up+Home+Power I'm I'm shown only this:
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apple update from cache
I am not doing Vol-Down-Home-Power since that's just the other recovery correct?
The question is .. do I need a Sdcard to flash a rom into my galaxy s3? cause I don't have one..
Edit:
This is the recovery mode screen I'm shown when I do Volume-Up-Home-Power:
www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=UxaVXJJdhhk
I don't have that model it's just showing you the recovery screen I get. I'm guessing it's not the custom one?
Use Odin and CWM from my signature.
I got it, I know what's wrong to anyone else having this problem.
To those that applied the Samsung update - samrung overrides the recovery if you don't remove the battery!

And I'm fairly certain you need a sdcard to flash ROMs.
You don't need an external sd to flash roms.

Hi guys, new here. My phone's warranty has expired and I have already rooted and unlocked the bootloader. Right now I'm on 4.0.2.A.0.62 and I want to install a custom ROM (Racing Bean). From what I know, I have to install Fusion kernel to use the ROM, I have already downloaded V3.1 Racing Bean, Arc Fusion (Version 5) and the Fusion Addons, all in RAR format. But now I'm stuck, I do not know what to do next, care to help me? I have installed Flashtool too. I need a step by step guide cause this is my only phone so if anything goes wrong (hopefully not since I root my phone myself through guides on the web), I got to fork out a sum of money to get a new phone... Also, do I need to backup 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware so that I can use it back if there's problems with the custom ROM? X-Parts is also installed on my android. Sorry if this question has already been posted before, I know that different ROM requires different kernel and have different procedures, so I don't want to take the risk. Thanks in advance!!!
Download a stock ftf file which you can use in case anything goes wrong. Don't worry the chances of a hard brick by flashing a kernel or ROM is extremely low.
You've downloaded fusion right? Extract the boot.IMG and place it in a folder of your choice.
Backup everything on your internal memory that you need on your phone and copy over your ROM zip file to the root of your SD card. SD cards are not affected.
Switch the phone off and press the menu button while connecting it to the USB (still off). There should be a blue LED.
Press the lightning icon on flash tool, select fastboot mode, navigate to the location of your boot.IMG and press ok. The flash will start automatically and it takes about 1-3 seconds.
Disconnect your phone and boot it. After you press power button repeatedly press volume down to get into recovery mode.
In recovery, do a system wipe and a cache wipe (volume buttons to navigate, home to select). Then install your ROM from SD card. For some ROMs you'll need gapps too but racing bean has it already.
The install will take some time. After it has finished reboot the phone. If successful (for your case) you'll see the fusion logo and the "X" (nexus) boot animation. First boot takes a while so be patient.
Leave the ROM for a few hours to settle.
Btw there's loads of guides on this and everything else on xda. Next time just use the search button.

i think u should first upgrade to ics first & then followthe same steps as given
1.Download Racing Bean and a 4.1.2 kernel (recommended Fusion)
2.Place the Wi-Fi modules and Racing Bean on your SDcard
3.Flash your chosen kernel via Flashtool, then boot your phone to recovery
4.Wipe data and format /system
5.Flash Racing Bean and Wi-Fi modules
6. Reboot and have Mess around
7. Flash either usb fix OR On screen buttons addon.
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have a acer iconia a100 rooted and currently running the carbon rom (4.2.2) and twrp recovery (2.6.3.0). I would like to go back to stock rom (ICS). I have not changed any kernals or anything like that. Can I just restore my nandroid backup of my stock rom or is there something specific I have to do? Also, I just looked and I dont have a stock backup with twrp, only with cwm. When I unlocked bootloader, I installed cwm, then must have done a backup of stock rom, then flashed carbon rom, then switched to twrp and made another backup so I would have to go back to cwm to restore nandroid. How do I go back to cwm from twrp?? Thanks for the feedback.
I looked in my internal storage and it looks like I have 2 zips, fastbootrecovery.zip and xsposeddisabler-cwm.zip, do I flash one of these?? and if I do, can I do it with es explorer?? Thanks

Just the stock ROM or completely back to stock, 100%?
If you don't know what those zips are, or how to use them, then don't use them, period.
To get back cwm you can use fastboot to flash it back on or use one of the cwm installers in development, if any are still there, if you want to do it with fastboot you'll need some stuff to get ready, most of it should be there from when you rooted the first time, then a couple lines in a command prompt and you'll have it back. There's also stock rooted ICS ROMs available, so depending on what you want we can go from there.

I am going to sell my tablet so I would like to go to my backup of my stock rom. When I restore my stock backup, I can just do a full wipe, that will get me back to the starting point of just the basic rom, right?? That will wipe all my data from the backup rom, or will a full wipe erase the rom too?? I want to get back to the basic rom (just like if I install a new rom) have to set up accounts, wifi, etc).
Also, is there a tutorial or a step by step guide to reinstall cwm back on my tablet, since my stock rom was backed up with cwm? And where do I have the files to reflash cwm. Thanks for your assistance in helping me return my tablet to the state I want.

I found a site that has it step by step, installing cwm. Here it is.
Here it is guys, Stock CWM Recovery for the ACER A100.
Before anything make sure you have the latest ICS leak C/O Vache, Root, and Unlocked Bootloader.
Official ICS Leak c/o Vache:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1510706
Root Instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1531646
Unlock your bootloader for fastboot, follow here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1557445
once you have done all of the above, you should be ready to flash this recovery. Make sure you have ADB up and working properly. And place the recovery.img in your working folder (see below)
1- Open a command prompt in your working folder (usually in your platform tools, mine is C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) make sure you are administrator.
2- Connect Tablet to pc and get excited.
3- Type: adb devices (verify your Tab is connected and listed)
4- Type: adb reboot bootloader
5- Once bootloader is in fastboot type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You will see writing recovery, flashing recovery, etc.
6- Once flashed Type: fastboot reboot
7- Profit
But it says make sure you have the latest ics leak?? Are they refferring to the rom?? If so, I currently have carbon rom istalled which is jellybean. This will not work then?? I am a little confused and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Well, before the tab got official ICS, we had a leak. If you had read down the topics some you would've found it. You do not want cwm, you want twrp.

To just go back to stock to sell it you'll run into a couple issues coming from 4.2+, namely the storage path changes, you'll retain the /0 folders, however many were made. Otherwise following the guide that roman made will work to go back to 100% stock, I'll see if I can get a link, I'm in a waiting room with crappy data lol
Edit:
That guide will work for installing cwm, basically get your cwm image then get fastboot going, fastboot flash recovery cwmimageyougot.IMG
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33574648
Best way to return to 100% stock. No need to fuss with recoveries just install what he says then the ROM does the rest. While in twrp remember to go delete /0 directories or they'll remain there forever. Or until its deleted at a later date, but if you have stuff in there you should do it prior to going fully stock again.

Thanks for the response, youve fully confused me with the /0 folders?? What exactly is that?? When I go to es file explorer, I see sdcard0 (which looks like the internal storage) and sd01 which looks like my ext sd card. Is it one of those your are talking about??
Also, you said something about go delete in twrp, I went into twrp and did not find anything with that name?? am I deleteing something in twrp. Could you spell it out for me since I am a noob when it comes to reverting a device to stock. Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

that is something happening with cwm. i had this problem. it keeps creating a folder names 0 and keep moving old files into that whenever you install a new rom.
Hello guys. I need your feedback. I have a A100 that is rooted and is currently running carbon rom 4.2. I am going to be selling this in the next couple weeks because I just don't use it anymore now that I have a second pc.Do you think it would be more advantagious to sell this just the way it is (rooted and custom rom) or should I take it back to completely stock? Or if it is more advantagious to sell it with a custom rom, which rom would you guys suggest?? Thanks again for any and all suggestions.
Please Help!! I was trying to go to stock ics and these are the steps I used.The simple method to revert back to stock ICS from a custom ROM on an A100.
+++Locked bootloader, no custom recovery, no root. Full stock .014 rom. It will recieve OTA updates to latest Acer version.+++

1) Download this flashable Stock recovery zip, and place in your normal flashing location, - Thx 4 help pio

2) Download the Official .014 Stock ICS rom
The stock ICS zip from zeronull. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1611696
Here is a second link to it. http://ubuntuone.com/7DZtbNqZzOk7qsaQxNk99a - thx zleto
3) Rename the Stock ICS rom to "update.zip", no quotes (make sure you have "hide known file extensions" UNCHECKED, in the folder options). And place it on the root of your microSD card. This will allow you to see the file extension to verify that it is named properly.
Get it Done
1) Flash the Stock recovery zip with your custom recovery. Then wipe cache, davlik cache, and wipe data/factory reset.
2) Reboot to system.
3) Allow it to sit for 5 minutes or so.
4) Then Power off.
5) Update from the microSD card by holding down the power and volume rocker closest to the corner at the same time, until you see "erasing cache .".. ect, ect. The stock rom install should start by itself, dont touch anything, wait for it to reboot.
****** If it won't boot do a factory reset (with the hardware buttons, see below) and/or try to reflash the ics rom one more time. ******

To perform a Factory Data Reset use the following steps:
1.Place the rotation lock switch in the up position (tablet held in portrait). Or to the left if held in landscape.
2.Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the corner (it is volume up, if held in landscape).
3.With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4.Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5.Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
