Install Older Recovery

I've got the CWM Recovery file you posted (Thank You), but is there a way to install it without an SD Card?

I tried installing from the existing recovery, but that was a no-go.. looking around, I found you cant change the recovery from within a recovery..

Any apps that can change it? Or do I have to use the SD Card?

Thanks again!

Advice please.

I have a Galaxy S4, 4.4.2, Rooted via Towelroot. I cannot get in to the correct "recovery" mode to flash a ROM. Keeps going to stock recovery. I have tried ROM Toolbox with Clockwork Mod. Tried TWRP Manager. Have SuperSU installed... Still nothing. What am I doing wrong? I am wanting to flash Hyperdrive.

Thanks.

Provider is Verizon. Not sure about the bootloader. I did check to make sure that the phone is rooted and it is.
[General Questions and Answers] RuggedHunter:
You are having a misunderstanding of one or both of two issues.

1. With SafeStrap you don't "boot to recovery" like you're used to...just reboot the phone and you'll see the safestrap splash screen appear halfway thru the booting process. There are two buttons on the bottom. Hit the left one for "Recovery" and you're in.

2. Your Safestrap splash screen says in big red letters "SaefeStrap is Disabled!" This is normal and just means you're stock slot is active instead of a ROM slot. With your firmware, you should be running safestrap 3.72 and ROM slots are not working, so you can only flash..or INSTALL..a ROM over your stock side.
[General Questions and Answers] dabootsan:
I don't think I have SafeStrap installed. When rebooting the phone, the first splash screen is "Samsung Galaxy S4".

So I have a question... I just got a G3 with ATT. I rooted it with Towelroot. I've been seeing stuff about the G3tweakbox and I reallyyyy want it. Nothing too crazy. No custom ROMs or anything. Just tweaks. Downloaded TWRP from the market and busybox but then found out the G3 isn't supported yet. Not with CWM either. Am I correct to assume that only the Tmobile variant is supported under the recovery apps because of PurpleDrake? Is there any other way to make a nandroid backup? Or are all us other variants just SOL until TWRP and CWM can support the devices? Right now my option is to just take a chance and just flash xposed and hope for the best. But I'm not THAT desperate yet. Lol. I'd feel a lot better about having a nandroid backup first in case something goes wrong. Just don't want to wait =[

Rom suggestion for Xperia U

Hi guys, first post here. I just wanted to ask what ROM I should install on a friend's XPERIA U. The main thing I'm looking for is a smooth experience for basic stuff like calls, whatsapp, camera and messaging with the ability to play a few games that I would guess are not too resource hungry, (like 2048 for example) the key thing is a stable and smooth experience for core stuff like calls, messaging, whatsapp and camera. Not necessarily looking for a KITKAT ROM. Any Rom that will be stable and smooth will do. Hope I'm not asking this question in the wrong place. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] RuggedHunter:
I don't really know... but I had the exact issue last week, and for me it was the sd card. In my research, I also read a lot of materials about .odex files leaving 'ghost' data on the card, then I reinstall of the app doesn't work. You could take a few steps down that path first, if you wanna try... I'm not an expert here though, just sharing my personal recent experience. Wish I could be more helpful...

Hey everyone. Noob reporting in.

So I'm thinking of buying ZTE Geek v975 and I know that it has a Chinese ROM without GApps. But there's a Malaysian ROM(official, from ZTE website) that has Gapps installed and bloatware removed. This is the ROM I want, and I have a question.

I downloaded the Update zip and the official instructions. The instruction says that I'll only need to use normal recovery mode to flash/update this ROM, or use the built-in upgrade tool. It doesn't say that I'll need root or CWM or something like that.

I want to know, is it possible to switch from original Chinese ROM to the Malaysian ROM without root, just by applying the update or is it necessary to root and use CWM?

Hi guys,

I'm so happy this thread is here because I am in dire need for help. I'm using an sg3 SCH-r530 and it's rooted completely with the 4.3 update. (I swear I hate Knox). I've been playing around with file data and trying to mod a game that I've been playing, Avabel, for unlimited gold. I've been reading up on binary and hex and seem to understand it (still need to use my hex translator). The problem that I am having is finding the hex code for gold within the file and pushing it back into the game safely. I will admit this is my first time attempting this, but I've been trying for awhile now with no avail. I was wondering if someone could look at the data files and help me or tell me if there is an easier approach as well as how to push data back into the game? If you want I am free to pm or discuss it here. I'm just really torn and frustrated at this point. Thanks.

HTC One m7 with broken OS, can't connect with PC to put new OS on

Hello. I messed up badly. I accidentally wiped the data off my phone in TWRP after it got stuck in a boot loop. Now I can't connect it to my PC to put a new system on. :crying: Am I screwed? Fastboot works when phone is in fastboot mode but ADB cannot find the device. Windows 7 tries and fails to install a driver each time I plug it in. HTC drivers and Sync are not helping. I'm not sure how it works but having no OS can't be good.. is USB debugging disabled?

I need to either

1 )push an operating system to install via TWRP without using ADB - can fastboot do this?

or 2) fix driver issue/get ADB to work

tun.ko - in which ROM for Samsung Callisto / GT-I5510?

Ever since my upgrading the Galaxy 551 aka Callisto to Gingerbread, I've been looking for a tun.ko module to enable VPN.

In vain.

Now that CM10 and CM11 are available for the little gadget (which despite of its age is still my preferred mobile, because of its size, hardware keypad, and touch responsitivity), I'm tempted to upgrade once again. But:

I cannot find a hint whether the ROMs actually do contain a tun.ko (cannot find any in the zip files), or whether the tunnelling might be already compiled in (where?).

How do I find out, given that I'm not allowed to ask in the developer thread as I'm new to this forum? (In particular, I'm talking about the ROMs available on download.androidarmv6.org)

Every information how to proceed is appreciated! Thank you.

Does this happen if you are connected to different APs? If it's only the one at home, I'd suspect that one (and in particular, the DHCP server behind it).

Hi guys :) first time in this section.

So , I have a question or rather seeking advice . So here it goes .

We ( at least I do ) use titanium backup to backup our apps every time we flash clean or dirty ROM or dangerous root stuff . Say , if I am doing a full wipe to flash a newer ROM which includes wiping the data partition , the big data games such as asphalt , final fantasy , etc , the game saves would be gone and would end up new game or unable to start the game after i recover the game from titanium backup . I always check the backups if any errors exist or not using the TB check backup thingy . And sometimes certain apps/games would crash when it starts , others might start halfway and dark everything . I wanna play final fantasy but im worried if i play until very far and then needa full wipe for new ROM and save data gets gone or something as mentioned above . Any advice or help ?

Any help is much appreciated ! Thanks in advance ! :)

Some devs put stock or modified stock kernels in their ROM because that's what's best for the masses. They may make a recommendation for individuals who want more.

Flashing a new kernel can be done in recovery very easily, just make sure you read and run a nandroid before flashing.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
I'm not sure where you are ultimately going with this.

No one is going to come after you for flashing any stock or custom ROM found on the net.

If they were going to come after anyone it would be the developers or sites that allow them to be posted. That's really not happening, so don't worry and flash away.

Hello everyone!

First I would like to start off by saying I am new to rooting and flashing roms ect...

so here it goes..

I have a Galaxy note II [T-Mobile] with 4.1.2 update. Well I went ahead and rooted my phone seeking pros without researching in-depth cons.

Unfortunately my device is now modified and I cannot install OTA updates anymore.

I have no custom roms installed and the only root apps I have are TB, TWRP, SUper SU.

I would love to get some incite about updating to 4.4.2 or flashing a rom such as JEDI or DN3 4.4.2 ect.. from my current 4.1.2 version.

I've been researching for hours for days, I understand this will be an elaborate process but I absorb information really easily.

Thanks for the help!

The roms I am interested in require Bootloader 4.3 or higher.

I have completely removed all sounds files, and they still show up. I have done a rooted search as well. I am running a custom rom. There are no physical files related to these choices. And when you select one, it doesn't play a sound. And all those that have a phantom file have a dup that DOES work when I put my sounds back on the as card. When I removed all the sound files, there were only stock files and the phantom single files left. Nothing downloaded, copied, etc. And nothing dupped.

[General Questions and Answers] MaHo_66:
everything you need is in the galaxy note 2 development thread.

Its very easy, just follow the install instructions on the rom thread and make sure you meet the requirements before installing custom roms, and also very important keep yourself focused, do not flash anything else what is not made for your phone specifically!

refer to the Q and A thread (questions and answers) of the note 2, for if you need more info/assistance etc.

double check anything if your not sure about something and always read the posts in rom threads and analyze everything to get an idea of what you have to deal with before taking any action! ;)

and be happy :cowboy:
