HELP!!!

Let me start by saying I have already read homeiss guide for upgrading to 2.2 but when I get to where I have to type in the command line it says cannot load recovery.alt.img: what I'm asking is for full instructions from 2.1 to 2.2 no partial instructions because I've never had this much trouble flashing a rom!

Assuming your ADB and all that is set up...and you already downloaded the Release 1 of Froyo ROM.
Install clockworkMod recovery : Do this by downloading this:
http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/streak/2.5.0.1-streak-clockworkrecovery.zip
and follow this instruction.
Download the recovery image zip file above and extract to a directory
Put your device in bootloader mode (Unplug the device from your PC, remove the device battery, then replace it and turn device on with the camera button pressed. Select the 'fastboot' text on the top right, wait around 10 seconds then plug the device into your PC. The screen display should change to 'FASTBOOT MODE'. If it doesn't, repeat and retry
WINDOWS - double click 'install-recovery-windows.bat'
(I've had instances where I had to literally run this batch file twice to ensure it was picked up by the device.
THEN, place the update-new.zip onto your sd card
Now boot streak into recovery by shutting down and holding vol up and down as you press power, select update from .pkg option and wait for Clockwork to load. Ignore errors regarding Misc...blah, blah...
-select flash zip from sd
-choose select zip from sd and find the update-new.zip and flash it
-Afterwards, press the power button to go back until you see the optiong to reboot. Enjoy your FROYO.

when i press the shutter button to install it gives me two errors: no signature annd verification failed or something like that i never see anything thats says install from zip

If youre at that part it should go like this...
1) Keep both volume buttons down and then power on. Sometimes its better to power on, once you see your back, home, and menu button light up, immediately press the 2 volume buttons and keep it pressed. If successful you should be faced with the Stock Recovery Screen. This will give you 4 options, and option 2 is install Update.pkg. Ensuring there is not file on root of SD Card that is labeled Update.pkg, select Option 2.
2) If you do this it will go black and a message saying.."Android....." and then you'll be faced with Koush's custom recovery. You'll know you're in custom recovery because you have to hold the Streak upside down. (3 buttons on top and earpiece at the bottom). If you see this then you're successful and should be straightforward from there. Follow the rest of the instructions provided in my previous post.
-------
-select flash zip from sd
-choose select zip from sd and find the update-new.zip and flash it
-Afterwards, press the power button to go back until you see the optiong to reboot.

this is frustrating. ... when I did it_it went to the stock recovery and when I press shutter button it doesn't go to the custom recovery and I know I flashed it

Having trouble installing ClockWorkMod Recovery?

Can't seem to get CWM installed through "ROM Manager", no matter how hard you damn well try? While trying to flash my Legend, I came across something which may help you guys out as it did me.
NOTE: You must have root to to do this.
This is a NON-PERMANENT solution. Using this method will NOT permanently replace your stock recovery with CWMs.
Download the file attached to this post.
Rename the file to "update.zip"
Place it on the root of your sdcard and then turn off your Legend.
Hold the volume buttons and the power button. You will boot into HBOOT.
After HBOOT scans for the LEGEIMG stuff, navigate to the "RECOVERY" option with the volume down button, and hit the power button to select it. Afterwards, you'll hit the dreaded "RED EXCLAMATION MARK OMG OMG WHAT DO" screen.
Hold the volume buttons and the power button again, and ignore the error which appears.
After the blue menu appears, navigate to "Apply update.zip" and select it.
Magic just happened. SUDDENLY YOU'RE IN CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY.
From here you can flash ROMS, wipe your cache, etc etc etc.
Hope this helps anyone having trouble flashing CWM.
P.S. This may well work for other models having trouble flashing CWM.

Nice guide, but There is allready a guide for this in dev. Fake-Flash

[Q] my legend won't boot

Hi, I tried to restore a nandroid backup on my legend yesterday, it rebooted and stopped forever on HTC boot screen... I can't turn on my phone since then! I'm trying to go into recovery with vol. down and power but theres that picture of a cellphone with a red exclamation mark. I have no idea what I can do now ...
Is there something I can do?
Thank you

Did you press power + vol up? (you said down..)

I just tried and it doesnt do anything.

That just happened to me but after about ten minutes it magically started working again. I thought it was bricked at first, but if it keeps showing that exclamation mark, than your phone might be bricked.

Try following:
- reboot with pressing Power+Volume down
- white screen: press volume down to 'recovery'. and press power
- next screen with !, press Power+Volume UP
- blue: vlume down to 'apply sdcard:update.zip', press power again
I assume yoy have Clockwork Recovery installed....
- green: -wipe data/factory reset, also via 'mounts and storage' format System.
- than via 'backup and restore' select the backup and GO!!
Hopefully this will work for you.. Good luck, Paul

i9001 recovery issues

Hello,
i installed cwm recovery on my samsung gs+ (i9001) using a tutorial i found on google.
Now when i access recovery mode by pressin vol + and power button while the phone is off i get to the recovery mode first screen, but the thing is i can't do anything from there... when i navigate to a menu using the volume buttons and press powerbutton to enter it, nothing happens, the text just flickers and that's all. The same when i navigate to "reboot device now" it just flickers and doesn't respond.
What do i do?
i installed the recovery mode using odin
i connected my phone in download mode
set AriesVE.ops as OPS and recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ariesve.tar.md5 as PDA and pressed start while the hone was recognized by Odin, it took it 6 seconds or so to start rebooting my phone.
Thank you for considering my message.

Try the Homebutton (the button in the middle)

Thanks for the advice but the home button just makes the phone reboot.
Is there a detailed step by step tutorial to instal miui rom on galaxy s plus ? Can't find any.

I don't really use Clockwork Recovery, so I don't really know what is wrong. Try using Team Win Recovery Project [TWRP thread]. Its touch screen so no buttons to press. :highfive:
As for MIUI try the wiki or the MIUI section here
