forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760799
From in this device I don't see how to save recovery image to SD card ?
Please advice
Or please guide me to how to get from where my phone is, which is only rooted from step one in the link above.
Thanks

First root ur phone from framaroot app..
Then download and put the cwm recovery.img in the root of sd card (that means direct in sd card not in any folder).
From mobile uncle tools app update recovery..
Take backup via cwm recovery..
Download any rom read the instructions and install..

is there a guide i can follow to install the unrevolved rom or any other custom rom
thank you
This really helped me understand a lot of how this stuff is done. It's written for the Nexus One, but the process should be similar.
The site is : theunlockr ... Click on How To's --> android --> then Nexus One.
Scroll down to "How to load a custom ROM"
Hope this helps. Goodluck.
Edit: UGH! STupid thing wont let me post the link.
i believe there are only 2 ways to install a custom rom. One way is to install an update.zip from your custom recovery (or any zip when using koush's custom recovery) the other way to install a rom is to do a nandroid restore. Which method is used depends on the rom. For unrevolved just download the zip, boot into recovery, select install zip from sd card, then go to your download folder where the zip should have downloaded and install it, reboot
make sure to download and install the apps.zip using this same method otherwise you wont have a market among other google apps which makes it difficult to use your phone
1st back up your apps with titanium backup
2nd. download Rom Manager in the market the free version will work for now but eventually when more roms get loaded into it the paid version is worth it.
3rd. plug your usb into your pc and the other end into your phone
4th move zip file with out renaming it to your sd card. (Jager 1.1) for example
5th open rom manager click on top link flash clockwork mod recovery. Click incredible click ok.
6th. Install from sd card find the zip(jager 1.1) click on it box opens up very important.(back up data ...check mark wipe ..check mark) done thats it. Now just wait for it to install...
Prob the fastest method out there and the easiest. Takes about 2 or 3 mins to get it installing a new rom.
Hey guys....... So many newbies don't know the procedures to root, flash recovery, flash custom roms....
Well this guide will help them to get all the information in one place....
So let's get started:
ROOT:
download a app called framaroot which is a one click root process...

Here is the link:

Step 3:

Hey friendzz, this guide is for all the people who want to know most of
the things on tweaking their phone without doing much research on internet
I am putting up this guide because I was cheated buy someone while I tried to sell it on eBay and I have covered almost all the things which you can do in sgs2
1.rooting
2.custom ROMs (thanks to developers bcs they gave me lollipop on sgs2 before official on moto x2)
3.Overclocking
4.unbricking
1,ROOTING- We all know about rooting very well , in some phones it will be very easy like my ex, sgs2 ,or very difficult like my new moto series(g2 and x) .you can root galaxy s2 in two methods
A) using odin- just flash jaboos kernel or philz kernel using Odin 1.85 and you will be having you will be having a custom recovery+custom kernel+ you will be rooted
B) thanks to Samsung guys bcs they have preinstalled a recovery which does a good function like we can flash some zips (unless Sony which doesn't has a usable recovery itself)
OK in short just download SUPER-SU.zip and reboot your phone to recovery pressing volume down +home +power simultaneously .after rebooting armrest m select apply update from SD card > choose zip from SD card and select SuperSU zip and flash and reboot your phone will be rooted
Custom recovery
A) Odin- for Odin I have already mentioned the method in rooting section under Odin, when you root using that method you will be already having a custom recovery
B) recovery- find a compatible recovery and place it in your SD card>reboot to recovery>flash it like the rooting file
Custom ROM- this is the easiest part which is made difficult by many by the way they say, after flashing custom recovery you have to just download a custom ROM file and place it in SD card and reboot to recovery>select zip and flash it, hurray you are on a custom run now
This guide is just the skeleton of my guide and I have not put any links for the things because I am having exams tomorrow and I will be upgrading this guide every day
Please hit thanks for my dedication because even though I was exam I wrote this guide and if you encourage me here I will write guides on other phones also

Hey guys i just picked up my galaxy s8 yesterday!
Very pleased and this beautiful handset.
However i have followed "Jesec"s guide to install TWRP and i am having no success
I can flash stock rom and the actual TWRP onto the phone using ODIN without problems
However it seems twrp is having problems mounting storage because
1. There is no flashables folder in the TREZ folder so i cant install magisk etc
2. I get an error saying failed to mount etc
I have followed the guide atleast 4 times to the letter and still having no success.
Cany any one help me please?
Im currently trying to flash a Custom Rom on my Lenovo A916, thing is the steps given by the author of the rom arent quite clear (at least not for someone of my level)
These are the steps according to the author:
How to install ?
– Download CWM recovert and SP Flash Tools.
– Open SP fiash tools and select the scatter of CWM recovery
– now remove the phone battery and click on download and plug in the phone until you got a green circle pop up.
– Now extract the firmware (rar files) on MICROSD/clockworkmod/backup/2010-01-01.00.00.53
If you extract into your internal memory it will not working because internal memory not detected on recovery.
– Now go to restore, just restore it and reboot
– You got the new optimized firmware made by myself !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What Isnt so clear to me is: Wether or not I need to have installed CWM recovery on my device, I just dont understand step 4 and 5 in general.
If any of you could explain these steps better or just give me a overall "dummies proof" version that'd be much better.
Thank you.
