ROM manager install fail

On my latest try flashing cm 7.1 acquired through ROM manager I had it backup my current ROM and wipe data, those processes worked fine although when trying to flash the rom it displayed and error message regarding the file downloaded and aborted the install, what can I do here ?
Note I am using Revolutionary CWM 4.0.1.4

I don't think there is since you have to flash a zip file to actually root your system but you can always go back and install your stock recovery after your rooted

You can with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963812, but you won't be able to install any ROMs.

Thanks will look into it
Sent from my SCH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Yes that link will work although i dont think there is a cspire version so youll have to use sprints. That said this will do what your asking as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017470

ota update...now I messed up

I was rooted, then used mobile Odin to unroot and went back. I installed the latest update and now need to root again on my mac. It seems the process that worked with ics will not work with the new update? Any advice?

grab the rooted JB ROM for Odin, install virtualbox and windows xp Virtual machine and re-root. There may be an easier way, but this one works for sure.

Suggestion use voodoo OTA root saver. It helped save my root when doing an update.

Anytime. What it does is temp removes root and does a backup. U run ota update and then run and restore root.

Wish I would have found that sooner.. but I was able to use Odin and learn a little there. Every bit counts when trying to get a better understanding of how android works (coming from iPhone)

ROM incapable to OTA

I am in 4.2.2 and tried many times to OTA update to 4.3 but it always failed.
Looking in the ROM Manager first screen says that my ROM is not set up to receive OTA.
There are no other options as these are for premium users of the app.
What can I do?

Flash it manually via fastboot.

Well I tried to do so using the nexus root toolkit by Wugfresh but it doesn't seem to work for 4.3 yet.
My other option is to download the file from Google and flash it with the Gal.Nex. toolkit.
As you see I am not very good with commands etc and I am trying to do it the easy way..

OK you are right and I am going to do my homework tonight BUT...
Why the h... is it unable to OTA?
It's a completely stock jakju 4.2.2
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

something isnt stock. it could be the radio, kernel, some system file you modified.

When it errors out it should tell you where the problem is.

There are some system apps that I have deleted or freezed. It might be it?
In another thread here in xda I read that the device should be in stock recovery in order to accept the OTA update. Now mine is in clockwork mode.
Is this right?

Sigh. CWM doesn't stop otas, modifying /system does that.
If you removed system apps then that's your problem. You will never be able top install the OTA in any way

Try using wugfresh's tool to update it to the latest.
Goo has given me problems in the past, took a few downloads before it would actually install.

I figured it out. Once I changed the too.I'm download path to legacy from "0" everything was fine.

I had the exact same problem where GooManager wouldn't update TWRP. What I did was to take the Nexus Toolkit for Mac and changed the script file and just replaced the .img file.
Details here: http://www.hagensieker.com/styled-4/index.html
It worked like a champ but again this is a Mac solution. Also the Windows Nexus Root Toolkit will download and install 2.6.3..0 for you.
