Hi, I just Rooted for the first time and installed Jedi Mind Trick ROM (v4) and I absolutely love it!! Now, I just downloaded some of the zip files that were on the bottome of the the XDA Forums Original XDA ROM located here: Jedi Mind Trick Files
I was wondering, How do I find out what some of these files are and are used for?
Also, Do I have to install them in the TWRP Recovery Mode?
Thanks for your help!
UPDATE; Nevermind...I figured it out..I copied the files to my Micro SD card and Rebooted in Recovery Mode and installed (Flashed) them there..Sorry for the Dumb question......

Copy the .zip to your SD card. Re-boot into recovery and flash the zip. Search if you need more detailed "how to".
BTW: This is not the best forum... next time, Q&A Perhaps?
thank you for a good reply ive been searching the forums all day and have not been able to find the answers

Np. With rom's and updates you are typically putting a zip file on the root of your sd card and flash from there once you are in recovery.

Well its better than assuming you're fully rooted and know how to navigate recovery and actually select the zip you should have in the root of your SD card. The point is that this kind of stuff is repeated all over the forum. It is better to read before posting.

Did you read the post where i said i had been searching the forums all day? im not arguing
There's an excellent tutorial by joeykrim on flashing your Evo, as well as a little primer on using adb. The process will be the same for just about any other ROM you want to try. Just be sure to backup, and look into ROM Manager on the market as well. It's pretty user friendly.

you can put them anywhere on your sd card. i just have a folder "custom roms" to save clutter on the root
Tried to flash the new MikG Rom with the new Gingerbread update and I got the error:Can't Open /sdcard....zip
It then let me reflash my SalvageRom, so with a few answers around the board, came up with the conclusion that the .zip file is corrupted. Tried the download from the link in the Deveoplment Forum on this site and the one from MikMik site and same result.
Any Solutions??? Another .zip???
P.S. Same result with AllianceKingdom Rom

Used factory sd card and Rom flashed!!! GREAT Rom!!!

It is possible you have a corrupted zip file, therefore, if you haven't already, re-download, re-wipe and re-flash.

su stands for superuser which us the command you use to gain root access.
Root is similar to administrator access on a windows PC. It let's you have access to certain portions of the filesystem you wouldn't normally have.
CWM is a tool that comes with a great backup tool called nandroid that will allow you to backup and restore your phone roms and settings. CWM can clean and fix some things that could be wrong with your phone, allow you to flash updated, custom roms, scripts, radios, kernels, etc.

You WILL need CWR to root. If you use the search in the development thread you can find a DL for it. I would stay away from the touch version but that's just my opinion.

Ok heres my update,
I used followed the instructions from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514434
I can get into CWM (non-touch) and I have the Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed.zip on my external SD Card.
when I am in CWM and goto install zip from SDCARD, I have only the lost dir.
Why wont this file show up??? that is the question and yes I have verified the file is ON the SD Card.
thanks for all the help!!!
Ciao~
try moving everything to your internal sd card, then install from there.
I almost included that, but NO I choose internal SD
edited my post.....
now when you say everything, are you just talking about the superuser file? becasue that is the only item I have on the External SD Card.....and yes I did use external SD card...but will try using the internal now.

You should have two options in CWM...to choose zip from SD card and external SD card. Just navigate to external.
Make sure it says choose zip and not update.

OK so what u need to do is this u can do it one of two ways A) u can use Odin to flash a custom recovery such as twrp or cwm, then use that recovery and flash the superSu.zip until it says its installed, to do this u need to place the zip file in the root of ur sdcard that means directly on ur internal sd, not in a folder, then flash from there, this is of course if u want to stay on ur stock rom and root it... Or u can do it the easy way and B) use Odin to flash a custom recovery such as twrp ( I reccomend twrp as it's more user friendly) then flash an already rooted custom ROM of ur choice, obtaining root on this device is very easy, I suggest B as its a lot easier for a new user to just Odin the recovery to the phone then flash a ROM...let me know if u need help I'll do he best I can

Hi XDA, I can't seem to find the latest CWM which on the site says 6.0.1.4 in a .zip flashable format. My problem is i ran 5.5.0 (iirc) flashed CM10 M1 and had a boot loop. I know from my skyrocket CWM was the culprit. Any information in solving the loop and/or CWM wil be greatly appreciated.
Thank you xda community
Go to clockworkmod.com/rommanager
find your phone on the left... the img files are in the same row as your phone...
sorry they are not flashable zip files though i think that you would need to open ADB and push them onto your phone here is a good link to get you working again...

Easiest way is to install Rom Manager from Play Store. Then from that app, you can install or upgrade your CWM.

I am a bit confused about the process for installing a custom rom as the guides that i've read say to copy the roms zip file to the Nexus' sd card - but it doesn't have one! Where should I copy the zip file to then?
Cheers.

The internal memory is often referred to as the sdcard. If copying the rom from your PC, your 'sdcard' is what Windows will see. If you're downloading direct to your Nexus it will probably end up in the Download folder.

Thanks mrew42, that clears that up!
I'm thinking the Towelroot method would be the most straight forward to gain root access but am a bit unsure about the installation sequence for a custom rom afterwards, given that a lot of the guides deal with the earlier methods of rooting. Sorry for the newb questions but the last time I was on this site I was flashing roms to my dell axim....its grown quite a bit here since then!
