Root Cannot flash ROM

[amazinz5]

I successfully rooted using R3L3As3Droot and 43V3R Root but I cannot flash a rom using cwm. When i select the rom file from my sd card it just reboots. I'm on 5.5.886. Is there a way to just boot into recovery and flash from there?

Yes. You can't flash Roms from rom manager on the bionic. Use bootstrap or rom manager to boot into recovery. Then select install file from sd. Select install file from sd again and find your rom. Make sure you saved the rom on the external sd. Also follow the developers instructions on wiping before you flash.

Thanks, I'm making progress. KIN3TX is now installing. I don't remember if i did a nandroid....should i immediately go back to stock and do a backup?

You don't have to. We have the fxz files to flash if my thing goes wrong . They will put your phone back to bone stock. Just like it came out of the box.

I would make a back up of kint3xs base after you set it up. This way if you flash one of the add on's and you don't like it you can restore the back up and try a different tpax.

I'm unable to boot into recovery. I installed clockwork through ROM Manager, but when I select "Boot into recovery" the phone just reboots.

It works with bootstrap.

I got bootstrap installed, but when I boot into recovery, not all of the directories/files show up on the sd card. I have copied the zip file (for Liberty) to three different locations : "\mnt\sdcard\downloads", "\mnt\sdcard\", and "\mnt\sdcard\DCIM" since it shows up in the CWM, but the zip file does not show in CWM

EDIT: of course after I post this, I find "\mnt\sdcard-ext"...nevermind

Glad you figured it out.
