Can i install the stock T-Mobile ROM with ClockworkMOD 3? and If so where can i find the latest T-Mobile ROM?
Got to the Dev section, check out the ROM listings, try to find a stock rooted ROM.
Once you find the proper one, put the zip on your SD card (no folder, just on the root). Open up ROM Manager and click "Install ROM from SD Card", then select the ROM file.
Don't forget to do a backup via ROM manager before you flash, and do another one after you install the stock ROM again.

I am having a heck of a time tryingto flash a new rom onto my nexus s. I have downloaded MoDoCa and CM7 and put both .zip's on my SD card.
When i go to install via clockwork, its verifies the install and fails saying it cant find any of the packages. I left the files as a zip, i also extracted wthem within the same folder.
Im so lost why this wont work. Also the backup's i made before flashing dont wanna flash either. I can only get barebones 2.3. HELP!
Are you using version 3.0.0.0 or higher of Clockwork? That's one of the requirements on Modaco's ROM.
You should leave the Modaco rom as a zip. Put it in the root of your sdcard.
I think what's happening to you is that you're trying to flash it the wrong way.
In Clockwork, don't select the flash update.zip file, what you need to do is choose the menu option to flash a file from the sdcard. This puts you into a selection mode screen where you will navigate through the files and folders in the sdcard to the one you want to flash, then select it and flash away.
Have you tried it that way?
EDIT: P.S - you don't "flash" nandroid backup files, you restore them from the backup/restore menu option in Clockwork. You probably know that, but just making sure, since there shouldn't be an issue restoring them.
Ok heres what I would like to know guys. I am running CMY's stock desire CWR Rom. I want to change the kernel or update but I am not sure how to do so with a CWR build? The other part is when I do get a build upadte how to go about saving info, settings and flashing the new rom in CWR? Any help would be appreciated and I have searched but can't really find specifics to much about CWR?
To flash an update such as a kernel, save the zip file to your sd card. Then in magldr menu go to 8: AD Recovery (assuming you are running magldr 1.13 and that you have flashed a cwm 1.3 partition) - select install zip from sd card - choose zip from sd card, then navigate to the folder where the zip is stored, select the update and then select Yes to flash it.
If you want to save the rom and all apps and data, from the Recovery menu select backup and restore and then select backup.
Ok as far as the kernel that is exactly what I am doing. I do have magldr 1.13 and the 400MB partition not sure the version but the most updated CWR. Anyway it keeps giving me an error after I choose update zip and choose file. Cant remember what the error is but it won't open the zip file.
Are you choosing update zip or as I stated - install zip?
Ok I think I got it figured out....
Hi, i have this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060) on my phone (but Android 2.3.3) and i want to use this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951. Now its SPL 2.08 (or something like that) and MAGLDR 1.13. When I installed the ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060) CWM was not necessary. Now i have to install it. So:
- Do I have to first flash back to my custom ROM or can I install CWM over the ROM I have?
- Do I have to flash back to my custom ROM to install the new ROM?
Helgon
enter magldr
usb flashing
flash cwm with partition of size listed in your target rom thread
reboot
enter magldr
ad recovery
this will start cwm
flash zip from sd
choose zip from sd
reboot
if you had any sd files, partiotions or whatever on your sd card, delete them first.
When I installed the ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060) CWM was not necessary. Now i have to install it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so does that mean you are on an old version of that rom? because cwm IS necessary to flash it.

- Yes, im using the 2.3.3 version
One question about the sd. Do i have to format it first? or just delete each folder and then copy the rom zip?

formatting sd is a good idea but not necessary. just put your rom.zip to sd. you also dont have to erase old rom.zip from sd if you need it.
I put it on my "internal storage" on my nexus, then I go to recovery and click "install zip from sd card" and can't find it?
Is the ROM in .zip format?
Did you rename it to update.zip?
Just find it manually and flash it that way
we need more details, are you rooted, running a custom recovery, which rom did you download?
Hi. I'm using the 18/Redmi2Prime and I was thinking of reverting back to MIUI and I'm on CM13. I'm kind of confused with all the threads here because it's been a while since I was active here in the forums. Can't I just flash the MIUI ROM over CM13 using TWRP 2.8.7 with a clean install?
I wanted a rooted lollipop miui hence I am reluctant of choosing this. And I donno which ROM to choose either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Grab a copy of the stock recovery from here, and follow the instructions to install it onto your device. Basically, download the file, extract the .img file from it, and install the .img file using TWRP. Then boot to recovery.
Then, download a copy of the official MIUI ROM (beta, release or otherwise), from here, rename it as update.zip, copy paste it to your SD card (internal/external), and from the stock recovery, wipe all existing data (cache and user data - SD card can stay). Install the update.zip from the recovery from the options shown.
Done.
Additional notes -
1. If you are plan to go back to a custom ROM, then install a pre-lollipop based MIUI ROM, or backup your EFS, Modem, Boot partitions prior to wiping the existing recovery - this will save you a lot of trouble, and perhaps opening another thread.
2. It is preferable to download the MIUI ROM and rename it as update.zip before you restore to stock recovery, should anything go wrong down the lane. (That is, without a ROM installed, and the computer just not willing to recognize your device, you might end up in a small soup - you cannot access the files on the phone using the stock recovery easily.)
3. If anything goes wrong, check for instructions on how to install the MIUI ROM using fastboot.
Hey thanks for the quick reply. Will do the mentioned and will get back to you if need be. Thanks again!
But wait. It isn't prerooted right?
