I rooted my sprint GS4 using CF-auto-root and now I'm a bit lost as to how i can flash the Blu Kuban Rom. I used the same procedure i used to do for my HTC evo 4g; booted to recovery and chose install zip from external and then accepted Blu Kuban in the menu but the install failed. I spent about 1.5 hrs trying to better understand, but i just don't. Do i need to install a custom recovery? I feel like this is a very easy thing to do and im just confused. How do I flash this ROM?
You don't have a custom recovery? If the answer is no then yes you need one. I personally use twrp
How to install twrp:
1. Download "goomanager" from the play store
2. Open goomanager and grant root access
3. Press menu and select install openrecoveryscript
4. Done
Boot in recovery
Backup up current rom
Install blu rom
If that fails re-download blu rom
Should had been the same way you did it with the og evo

Hello together,
im running currently CWM 3.0.0.6 and would like to update to a newer version
with no Charging-bug. I have some questions about this.
1. Can i update CWM via flashing a zip...?
2. Which CWM version would you recommend at the moment? ( A link would be great)
3. Do i loose my old recovery files or is it compatibel?
Thank you very much in advance!
You can update Rom Manager from market and then you can update recovery using Rom Manager. It automatically downloads and installs updated recovery AFAIK.
Rom manager only gives you a temporary recovery, the easiest way I've found is an app called root toolbox pro, download the recovery image save it to your sd card then open the app choose advanced/flash recovery navigate to your img file on your sd card. Job done.

cant find advanced/flash recovery in root toolbox pro, is there any other option to install a new recovery?
when i just flash it its only temporary
Terminal emulator method works a treat. Can't remember command and busy at wedding reception at mo. But search for how to flash cwm via terminal and it'll work.

The easiest and quickest is to fastboot flash recovery
Your recovery backup will still be fine

Hi Folks,
Just got my 32GB Nexus 7 and am in the process of rooting and of course i will be no doubt trying out custom ROM's i see Paranoid Android and Liquid Smooth both of which i have used (current PA) for the Galaxy S3 also have ROM's for the Nexus 7, anyway i will be selling my laptop and just using the Nexus from here on in, my question is, is it recommended to download Goo Manager to download and Install ROM's, etc, i usually use CWM but am aware that Goo Manager seems to be the more updated and popular choice thesedays and seen as im new to the Nexus i thought you folks could offer some assistance here.
Cheers
Don't need goo manager to flash roms it is just like ROM manger to a degree. I only use it to install the latest twrp recovery and to to check for ROM updates. Seem like u already know how to flash so I won't get into that. Use this site and are others to get ROMs for our n7 store them in a folder ( I have one title Roms) and flash as normal.

Download it from the thread and boot into recovery manually. I wouldn't use goo or ROM manager to flash anything. You did already unlock the boot loader and flash a custom recovery correct? This requires a PC.

Also use CWM to flash roms. I use goo to check if there are ROM updates.
I didn't flash custom recovery but yeah unblocked the bootloader and rooted, cool I'll install cwm then.
Cheers guys

You can only install a custom recovery after being rooted. And the only way to root is to flash a superuser package with you guessed it, a custom recovery. You can't just install ROM manager and flash a custom recovery. You have to manually flash one with fastboot on a PC.

Currently I have CWM version 1.0.3.4 and I'd like to either update it or go to TWRP. I've been trying all night but can't do it. When I try to update through ROM Manager, it says successful, but when booting into recovery it's still 1.0.3.4. Same with TWRP, I downloaded GooManager, and tried from there. Said successful, but did nothing. Is this a kernel issue? The way I see it, right now I cannot change my custom recovery no matter what. ( I also don't have access to a PC, so everything needs to be done on my device.. )
Thanks in advance!
Google s4 twrp zip xda. Flash that in your current recovery
Never use ROM manager for newer devices. It is very outdated.

I have the Tmobile LG G2 (D801)
-Software D890110G
-Build JDQ39B
-Rooted using ioroot method
I cannot install either TWRP or CWM Recovery.
No matter what method I use to install a recovery (a zipped recovery) or using adb fastboot, I always end up on a black screen with
[720] Fastboot mode started
[770] udc_start()
I need the latest CWM or TWRP so I can flash 4.4 Roms. I feel like there is no definite guide on how to install the recovery or it seems like a recovery for D801 does not exist.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

There is a guide and a YouTube video walking you through installing twrp through adb. I used it Saturday, works. But I'm thinking I need cwm to install cm11 twrp fails every time.

I just I stalled twrp on my phone today, so here's how I did it. Download recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995 , save it on phone SD, dcim folder. Now download flashify from play store. Go to app and choose recovery image, look for the one downloaded earlier. That will flash the recovery and boot after.

Just Tried your method I still get the black screen with the Text on the top left corner.
I'm starting to believe I cannot change recoveries on my phone.
Also, using your method, It only installs 2.6.3.2 , I need 2.6.3.4 or latest CWM cause I want 4.4 based roms. 2.6.3.2 always give me an error when installing 4.4 roms

Use Flashify for 2.6.3.2 then reboot in TWRP and flash the T-Mobile 2.6.3.4 zip

I am having the same problem can someone help.
I have an i337. Never had any OTAs. I was using a recovery that would 'auto-loki' so I never had to flash the lokidoki zip before.
I'm trying to install the latest GPE by Danvdh and I keep ending up booting into twrp(2.6.0.0).
I wipe all that one would normally wipe.
Then I flash the ROM.
The aroma installer starts, I've tried the googy kernal and (mostly) the stock kernal.
I uncheck the reboot now option at the end of the aroma installer to get back into twrp
I then flash the lokidoki zip.
I reboot and get kicked back into the recovery.
I'm thinking I may need a newer version of TWRP, but I'm not sure. I dont want to use odin to get back on jellybean just to update the recovery unless I know that's the issue.
the loki zip is ~10MB
Any info is much appreciated. I've been at this for hours.
You need a newer version of twrp. You don't need to use Odin. Look for the flashify app in the play store.

My phone is only booting into recovery though. I have the latest twrp image. Is there a way to flash it from within twrp?

If you can find a zip. I'd make one for you, they're easy once you know how, but I'm traveling on business and don't have access to a computer.
