So ive spent hours trying to install custom ROM but when i install a recovery image using recovery manager, it says recovery unrecognized. Can anyone please help?
I have gen 1 zte blade and want to install swedish spring. I need latest recovery image and recovery manger please.
1 which version of your installed recovery? old version, especially older than 3.0, may get incompatible with your image file. you can install the app ROM Manager, and from which to reinstall the latest version of Clockworkmod Recovery. of course, root is required.
2 you've verified MD5 of downloaded image file? plz do verify and confirm its match. corrupted file may fail to flash, or even brick your phone.
3 plz give more detailed info if keeping install failed .

Try to boot into the recovery, it should work.
Ive tried both
RecoveryManager_v0.36b
RecoveryManager_v0.37b
and i am using the image file
recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.8-blade-gen1
Most of the time the recovery manager app would not open so i have to uninstall it and re install it, or even factory reset phone and wipe sd card for it to work, and it never recognizes the image file.

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to get clockwork installed on a rooted stock firmware vibrant for a friend. Using ROM manager i've tried to install CWM and it says it is successful, however after trying to reboot into recovery and choosing re-install packages I get these errors:
E:Failed to verify Whole File Signature
E:signature verification failed
Installtion aborted
I tried flashing Vibrant (MTD) Clockwork Recover 3.x from ROM manager but it does the same thing.
Also tried the AIO tool from the sticky in the dev section and it doesn't work either. I chose the custom ROM but it doesn't push it to the phone or reboot it into recovery. (The install drivers option gave me a windows unhandled exception error)
I downloaded Heimdall but am not sure how it's used, can it flash any ROM or only specially formatted ones?
I've been searching these forums for a few days now and finding so much new and old processes to do things and I'm not very familiar with Samsung phones so any help is appreciated. Thank-you.
Re-Root it
Re-root the phone using One-click, when Baywolfs fails, one click always does it because it push's it through using ADB
CWM wont work unless the phone is proper ROOTED, youll know when its done right, cause youll see the super=user App after your done
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
After that, un-install Rom manager, then re-install it, then while your connected to WIFI or provider, make sure you flash CWM recovery,
Re- download the ROM again, but dont open it!!
Then when you are ready to flash that ROM as a zipped file, DO NOT open it [ meaning UNZIP] or you'll continue to get the signature error.
Then either flash using reboot into recovery or install using CWM option of sd card install, either or works!! .
Are you having trouble getting past the stock 3e recovery? I've been trying to get past it for a few days but have been poking around learning the in/outs of this. I have not yet gotten Rom Manager to properly flash CWM Recovery... the stock 3e is stubborn. Once CWM recovery is done, your options open up for backups, restores and installing some custom roms.
I don't know what the solution is but I'm still looking around.
Hope this was on track...
Its stuborn in the sense its picky about free space. You'll need to free up some room in order to use CWM. Reference this thread for guidance -

Hey, I currently have a CWM based recovery on my phone. But the problem is that I can't change it, I want to get a newer version so I can flash CM 10.2 on my phone. I've tryed to install recoveries with Odin, ADB, Terminal Emulator and even those ROM Manager and GooManager. But each time I try to boot into recovery and see if it works, it still the same old CWM based one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm currently on a 4.3 rom, and when I try to flash it tells me that this rom isn't supported yet. :/
I have an international LG G2. I'm trying to update it to CM 11, but my CWM recovery is version 6.0.4.0 and I need 6.0.4.4. I tried updating through ROM Manager, but every time I boot into CWM, it's still version 6.0.4.0. I tried to use ROM Installer, but came across an error. I tried using Flashify to update CWM by manually downloading the CWM recovery image online, but also came across an error. Would really like to fix this problem.
I'm also having this issue on the ATT model, with the "6.0.4.5 CWM-based recovery" that came with Freegee. Trying to get the legit CWM 6.0.4.4 to flash and I can't do it.
Grab the zip file. Boot into recovery and install the zip. Never user rom manager ut doesn't work well with this phone

Zip file? I can only find the img files on CWM's official website. I tried to use Flashify to install that, but when trying to boot into recovery, the phone got stuck at bootup and I had to hard reset it and it went back to normal with the recovery still at 6.0.4.0 unfortunately.
Been using Phil's recovery lately it is built off of cwm . http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d800

Have you try to do a full wipe? In any case, yoy can download other rom that works sure and put in the sdcard using adb when you are in recovery mode...
Check if when you flash the rom, you are getting an error related with loky-... (Something like this)...
Why don't you try to install back cwm if you still have your cwm backup. Then after that restore your backup.

How can i install back to CWM? if i cant get out of Recovery?? I would just download another rom but computer wont show my phone since stuck in recovery, As you can tell i have limited access to computer privileges due to using a work computer, so I do not have any of the tools on the computer.

Yes i did a full wipe, when i flash AOKP 2/16 its successful but stays boot looping, but PA and CM11 says failed, but nothing mentioning loki.
Can you not mount in twrp? Or go into download mode and adb push another ROM onto the phone? If your in a bootloop just wipe everything twice. Mount or adb push a new ROM AFTER checking md5. Both those have worked for me :$

Is your TWRP out of date? You can update TWRP while in TWRP. Or just adp sideload another ROM.
How do you update twrp while in recovery? When flashing the other two roms its saying something about binary?? And how do you side load, yes im real new to the g2 root game, my nexus's were so much easier and never delt with adb sdk really, ill have more luck tomorrow when im on computer i can actually download stuff , when i flash aokp i see all the files through file manager but just won't boot

By using ADB. If your pc does not detect phone. Try installing lg drivers or those on pdanet drivers.
Link for universal drivers to get ADB working.

Adb is the way to go if your stuck in recovery. And even if you're a newb its easy to learn as there are countless tutorials out there. Just read up on it and then you can either push a new ROM or push cwm and restore your old backup

Small problem, no actually a big one when installing Cyanoid SDMerge 15.4 on my LGE400.
I successfully installed Cyanoid Standard 15.4 and am trying to upgrade to SDMerge using the steps found on the Google site of Cyanoid. I have these three files on my external SD: SDMergE400_Step1.zip SDMergE400_Step2.zip cyanoid15.4sdmerge.zip, first two from given link and last one from ROM Manager.
First I actually found that _ExternalSD on the phone is actually a map and not my SD Card, as I put in the SD Card into the computer I was not able to see the cyanoid154sdmerge.zip I put on it using the phone's file explorer. When storing the other two files on my SD Card using my computer, I could not see them when going to _ExternalSD in my phone's file explorer.
I thought: Let's put those three files in both directories in case it might matter which directory will be chosen by recovery.
Now when I click on install SDMergE400_Step1.zip ; the thing says failed. No idea why, no idea how to solve.
It says: (Not everything is readable)
Updating partition details...
E:Resource type (image) failed to
Installing '/emmc/_ExternalSD/SDMe
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file fo
assert failed: getprop("ro.product
E:Error executing updater binary in
Error flashing zip '/emmc/_External
So ehm, what do to next?
Thanks in advance.
Does no one have an idea on how to install SDMerge on my E400 given the problems above? I forgot to mention that this package failure did not brick my phone so I am still looking for a way to install SDMerge.
Thanks in advance.

Oh you remind of one more other strange thing: On first boot, back at the stock rom of my LGE400GO, ROM Manager automatically installed CWM recovery. When I restart Cyanoid into recovery, I get to see TeamWin Recovery Project v2.7.0.0. What went wrong? Might it be this recovery that does not allow me to install SDMerge? Is there a way to change recoveries or should I do a total reinstall of Cyanoid?
I found out that it is possible to revert to CWM recovery, yet when I select to do so the phone gets stuck on Flashing.... (ClockWorkMod Recovery)
Used this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405279 to install CWM recovery using the Terminal for Android, it worked. This means that I know run the latest version of CWM recovery. I am going to try the SDMerge installation with this.
It worked. I was able to install step1.zip and step2.zip using CWM recovery. Installed SDMerge after that. Now my phone is rebooting, let's see if it worked. It is booting so I did at least not brick it. Though it is taking a bit long for Cyanoid for start, I think it worked. I will edit this post later this evening if it succeeded. EDIT: It booted. It is still slow, but it booted. This means that I now have Cyanoid 15.4 SDMerge installed.
Thanks.
