Just opened ROM Manager, and shows an update to the recovery image. Is this safe to flash? I've been using 3.0.0.6 forever it seems. Does 3.0.2.4 support both 2.2 and 2.3 Roms? I really don't want to screw up my phone.
Already discussing that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029980
This isn't directly related to development anyway.
Thanks, that's probably why I didn't find it using search.... it helps to search the right forum.

i have cm7 rom and in rom manager it has a flash clockwork recovery option. is this the same as updating it? if not how exactly do i update it and what is the latest update?
If you upgrade the recovery through ROM Manager, it will not stick. Once you turn the phone off and back on you'll be back to the version that Unrevoked puts on your phone (2.5.0.1).
There is a way to do it, but there really is no reason to bother. There's nothing wrong with 2.5.0.1 so my recommendation is just leave it be.
You have to unroot back to 2.1 stock.then run unrevoked again to push a new recovery.its a little different for a specific recovery.have to run unrevoked without the phone connected to choose what recovery version to load.search the forums there is more specific directions.

Is it just me or are there no stock rooted deodex or odex roms of the latest OTA that i can flash??
The process to go from a custom rom to the stock ota.. then reroot... then do what ever seems odd given every other android device i have used or flashed for friends seem to always have a stock rooted rom.
Why nothing for the acer that i can flash right from cwm? Like a zip or something.

Obviously you don't read the development forum. It's super easy for 3.1. Just search the forum for rooting 3.1 download the apk and press root. Then download acer recovery from Android market. Once inside the app click install CWM

Then hit reboot into recovery. Once in CWM go to backup and restore and restore currunt Rom. After you restored go to restore current Rom to insure the device can read your memory card, if you can find it then you are good to go.
After you have downloaded a custom Rom install it on your SD card. Then boot into CWM by powering off and power back on by holding power button and -vol. Once inside go to install zip, and make sure you can see the custom Rom before wiping anything. If you see it the wipe data, cache, system, battery status, dalvik cache. Then install the zip.

why would i ask for a stock rooted rom if i wasnt already rooted....?
you didn't even read what i asked for did you..... seriously did you? no not even one word. all you saw was stock rooted rom and went off on tissy about something i already did 5 minutes after i opened the box.
i am rooted, and already flashed thru 4 different roms to find one i like and frankly, i am fine with stock until someone else makes one more to my liking.
i said that it seems odd not to have a stock deodexed rooted rom available to flash.
i dont need anyone to tell me how to root/flash this thing, nor did i even remotely ask for such help, i asked a simple enough question of why go thru all the download the OTA, decrypt it, take the update file flash it, then reroot it, then do whatever...
why not just have a Stock_rooted_Deodexed_1.xxx.xx.xx.zip as a flashable zip. like just about every other device on this website.
you spent alot of time typing out all that for no reason had you read a little more of what i typed and was asking for.
i have tried to cool stuff before but cant get things to work on my system and i ended up giving up and trying to mod roms and repost them here, otherwise i would be happy to make a stock rooted deodexed rom to flash.
so, in the end the question still remains is there any particular reason why all these OTA updates have been released and yet no one has made a stock rooted rom to flash via recovery?
it also eliminates the possibilities of screwing up a flash to stock, or flashing to stock and then not being able to root, or not being able to install CWM
Best you'll get is something like HoneyVillian
Is there a stock ROM that is flashable via Streakmod?

Thanks.
Are these flashable via Streakmod recovery?
Try this link. If you click on the folder (baseband number) for the ROM you are interested in you may find an update.zip package. You can flash that with StreakMod Recovery. I would not suggest doing this to change a ROM, only to re-flash what you already have, if needed.

Are these .zips pre-rooted?
My Streak doesn't seem to like any custom ROMS. I can't get any stability, no matter what I try.
351 didn't flash via Streakmod recovery.
Do I need to flash the Dell recovery for 351 to go back?
The stock roms are not pre-rooted.
Read this: Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM
Best way to revert to stock 351:
Grab MultiRecovery Flasher
Download the 351 .pkg file from the Streak Wiki
Put the 351 .pkg file on the root of your Streak's external sd card and rename to update.pkg
Use MRF to flash the 351 recovery
Use MRF to reboot the phone
Do not let it reboot completely, as the phone starts to reboot hold both volume buttons to go directly into recovery
Select #2 to apply the 351 update.pkg
When it completes the install and the phone reboots you will be back to stock. If you want to root I recommend the superboot.zip method, and don't forget to install busybox and update the superuser bin and app files from the superuser app.
Make sure that your read and understand Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM. I also recommend reading this.
Edit: superuser.zip includes busybox.

just a small question here, what Baseband are you on? cuz what you're seemingly up to requires additional baseband flashing through Fastboot-commands or the MF flashing assistant mentioned earlier within the Development Area of Dell Streak at XDA.
Please do note that you're request could be moved towards another forum, due to the fact that it doesn't relate to any 'real' development, no offense, but it is what it is.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Perhaps the mods could move it to the Questions section.
I thought I posted it there. My mind is fried after spending two days on this.
Coming from stock 351 with stock baseband.
Tried to flash 1.9.1 via streakmod, now I got nothing but looping boot screens.
Tried a couple other custom ROMs too via streakmod, but nothing worked. Nothing.
Trying to flash back to stock. Now, I can get the stock 351 recovery on, but that's it.
The dell recovery sticks at a blank screen.
I'm about ready to chuck it. I've never been so frustrated by any flashing process in my life. HD2, Vibrant, Galaxy, you name it. They were all cake compared to the Streak.

The best way to get the baseband you need on the Streak is to flash the stock rom associated with that baseband. That makes sure that all of the OS parts that aren't replaced by StreakDroid or another custom ROM are in sync.
And yes, this thread should be in Q&A

If I can get into fastboot, then all hope is not lost, correct?
Is there a guide to flashing back to stock 2.2.2 anywhere that you know about?
So far, I had stock recovery, went to Streakmod recovery, then back to stock after my flashing didn't turn out well.
No offense to the chef's but I just can't seem to find a way to make any custom ROM work with my Streak.
I'd just love to be back where I started and any help would be greatly appreciated.
The searches I've done have turned up stock Donut re-flashes. I don't want that.
So rar, recovery for both Streakmod AND 351 hangs on a black screen after selecting "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" in the menu
No Dell Logo appears at all. I get a black screen (backlight on, just black). Since I get no logo, I'm not presented with the Recovery Menu
I'm burned out.

After I get the recovery flashed and reboot with both vol buttons held down... select update and I get a blank screen. Nothing.
I think my Streak is a paperweight.
Once in recovery hit the power or camera button ...to pop up the menu

Just to follow up on my own post.
The problem was caused by having a stray file named update.pkg in my sd card at root level.
This hosed everything, literally, so recovery was not an option under any circumstances, even though it was flashed. I still got a black screen at startup, no matter what... even when pressing the correct button sequence as noted. I just didn't get to the Dell logo where the camera button would get me recovery.
I had to use QDLTool3rd to reinstall EVERYTHING and then I could install Dell recovery and flash.
Now, I'm rooted and restoring from backup.
Thanks XDA!

hi all,
I have recently got a samsung galaxy s GT-I9000.
firmware version is 2.2 stock.
now here's what i did.
1. i rooted the phone.
2. downloaded rom manager.
3. via rom manager, i flashed clockworkmod recovery.
now, when i restart in recovery mode, it starts in stock recovery, i.e.. does not enter the CWM recovery menu. i selected the option, install update.zip from internal memory, i get error.
i want to flash a custom rom but cant get CWM on my phone. can someone point out what am i missing. any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.
Read an educate yourself.
Try search.. it's really easy!
As to the why:
The original recovery won't allow the use of unsigned zips in recovery..
The very quick how..
Copied from another thread on this page:
use Odin to flash this Speedmod kernel if you are on Froyo. If you are on Gingerbread flash the TalonDev kernel using the v2.2 tar
(Thanks @rschenk)
How to use Odin???
Trust me, if you don't know, you should really educate yourself a bit. You can find many tutorials in q&a.. most of the time as sticky post. (As 10000 or so have asked the exact same question.)

Hey guys I'm new to android had an iPhone for 6 years. Just got the gs4 two months ago. I rooted the phone took out bloat ware apps using titanium back up. Have a few other rooted apps. Got Interested in ROMs and kernels so did some research looked around on here to how to do it. I downloaded infamouses newest ROM. I have ROM manager and I downloaded cwm recovery through the Rom manager. When I go to back up my current ROM and everything it boots into recovery mode but it isn't cwm recovery. The emblem doesn't come up and I believe its the stock recovery. My question is how can I get the cwm recovery so I can back up my current ROM and then wipe it and install the new one. I'm new so sorry if this is easy or anything I appreciate all the help
Download goo manager and let it install twrp then just flash cwm thru twrp . Or keep twrp and remember to flash loki doki if needed.
Wait!
What firmware is your phone currently on? MDL OR MF3?
If MF3, stop now. Do not flash anything.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium
Okay I figured out the problems. When I hit reboot and superuser is supposed to grant root permissions an error comes up saying superuser has stopped working then goes into the stock recovery mode. The only thing I found with MDL in it was the baseband version 1337UCUAMDL
Your safe to continue flashing custom recovery on MDL Baseband

Going on the information you have given, if you are doing right and using the correct version for your phone, GooManager and TWRP should be working for you. However, if you go to the development section and look for OUDHS CWM recovery, directions are given in the OP about how to manually install that recovery. Again, directions are in that thread about how to do it. I do hope you are reading all of every post that contains something you are trying to do (in other words, if you use OUDHS, read the entire thread first). Good luck.

Hey thanks for the help. I got twsp recovery through goo manager and worked perfectly. I'm having such a bad experience trying to install this rom. I went into the recovery mode after backing up my current rom and system. I wiped everything out then went into my sd card amd installed the zip that is listed in the infamous page in the developers part. I hit install and then said I'm not rooted and would I like to install superuser. I slide the thing and then went to reboot and now has been stuck saying samsung and custom with an open love under it. Pulled the batter went back into twsp and tried to reboot and still stuck. This is all after I thought I installed the rom already and nothing changed except wiped my phone. Can anyone help

Are you installing loki doki after the rom ?
