Recovery Help

I am extremely new to android and and have just recently flashed the rooted Rom. Now i need to flash recovery before being able to flash any other roms. This is where i get lost. It seem like all the instruction i can find pick up at the entering commands in. Is there anywhere i can find the exact steps. ex. unpack zip into tools, open up this, then click on this.............I apologize if this has been answered somewhere i have tried search and come up with nothing helpful. Any answers or links to answers would be awesome thanks!!!

I think you mean you got Root, I don't believe you can flash a ROM without the modded recovery. Follow this guide and you'll be set...

Are you on a Mac or PC

You can also look into the script I wrote: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651669
Extract that .zip file into the \tools\ folder of your Android SDK, connect your phone and enable USB debugging, run the install_root.bat file, and select option 2.

Thanks everyone especialy Grdlock!!!! That was the easiest thing i have ever done! I appreciate it. Keep up the good work.

Help please!

Hi, I am new to this, and I have downloaded a couple nand roms off of here, tried following all the steps and right now im in maglr bootloader mode...every guide i see says to click on the dft or daf file and run it in the rom folder, but i dont have one in any of the roms i downloaded all i have is a boot folder, and a system folder....they dont have any install.exe or dft files or any applications for that matter in them....any help would be greatly appreciated THANKS!!!

sounds like you downloaded a CWM zip file which can only be installed via clockwork mod

Installation of rom with and without DAF.exe

Hi,
I installed android 2.2 (NAND) on my HD2 yesterday. I did this using MAGLDR first and then an unknown android 2.2 rom with a DAF.exe inside it. Now I want to update 2.2 to CyanogenMod 7 (2.2.3). But the CyanogenMod folder doesn't contain a DAF.exe file.
How can I install it?

cm7 rom requires that u flash latest clockwork recover mod and then do the installation via it for further help u can fell free to pm me

Flash desired CWM and then follow instructions from your ROM thread.
I prefer SD-files recovery version ;-)

HELP
Hi guys,
I have a big problem. I want to install this ROM on my HD2, but if i download this file i cant find the DAF.exe so how do I install it now? I already installed HardSPL 2.0.HSPL and I can enter the bootloader screen from MAGLDR. But if i do USB Flasher what must i do on the PC then i only downloaded some mapping with files in it but no .exe files or something like that. Hopefully some1 can help me.
I confused realy hard
I found a old DAF.exe file on my PC but if i use that he install a old android rom i want a new one how do i fix this?

you have to flash clockworkmod in magldr. then you can flash the rom within cwm. i bet that this is explained in your rom thread. please read the stuff before you flash something.

Start at the beginning by reading the instructions on the roms pages they are on post one .
You require a rooted phone with CWM as the easiest method .
But as you give no indication of current firmware all i can say is install root and CWM from

Use OXA KG2 from post 4 .
Instructions - ODIN
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked

FOLLOW that by the instructions from Cognition post ,
Installation Instructions:
I highly recommend flashing the full rom! (updates can be unpredictable)
(If you have problems with the update version, flash the full rom instead)
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!
Download the rom zip from below (don't rename it!)
Put the downloaded zip file on your internal sdcard
Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery (don't do this from rom manager, it won't work)
Select Install zip from sdcard
Select Browse for zip on sdcard
Select the zip file you put on your sdcard above
(Let it flash)
Reboot, WAIT Enjoy!
Ignore yellow rom warning triangle at boot .
Best to source a USB jig to remove this .

Turn off the phone, hold <vol up> <power> and <home> buttons at the same time to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.

plz man i'm stuck in the last step....how i install the cognition 1.31 via ClockworkMod Recovery ?

If you try and carry out a task without knowing how then all you will get is trouble . If you cannot read then you will be in even deeper trouble .
You dont seem to be able to follow the roms instructions nor the instructions i posted .
Read my post again i can do no more than tell you how i cannot do it for you .

Asking for a guide for a new moto owner.

Hi,
Im coming from samsung, and i have no ideia how to flash firmwares in this phone.
I have a brazilian XT1572, and im planning to flash TruPureX but at the guide, it only says to flash.
But my question is, how?
If someone could tell me how to flash, step by step, i will be very gratful.
Thanks and sorry for my poor english.
Im only posting here, because um not alowed to post at the main thread of the rom.

Sorry, but I can only point the direction for you.
You could use this thread.
You should read: "Prerequisites" for basic information how to get started.
Then: "1. How To Unlock Your Bootloader", its most important step.
Later: "2. How To Install A Custom Recovery On Your Device", you should flash TWRP (install), for next steps.
You also can do: "3. How To Make A Nandroid Backup With TWRP Recovery", but after 1. point - unlocking bootloader, you will loose all your data from internal storage, so there is no point to do recovery right now.
To answer your's thread question, you need to: "5. How To Install A ROM with TWRP Recovery". If you will learn how to install new ROM, then you will easy install TruPureX, but remember to read also its thread for information how to install this ROM:
Download TruPureXMM-X.X zip
Download MM-Pure-Modem zip
Clean Wipe
Flash TruPureXMM-X.X zip
Flash MM-Pure-Modem zip
Reboot
You are free to ask any questions! Good luck!
