I cant install clockworkmod 3.0.2.4 to save my life. I do everything all these forums are saying and nothing works. I have no clue what im doing wrong.
This is the way I flash 3.0.2.8 ....
This is the way I flash 3.0.2.8 Put the recovery.img (rename it to recovery.img if its not just to make it easy) on the root of your sd and Open up the Terminal Emulator and type in:
su (hit enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/ recovery.img (Hit enter)
exit (eneter)
Hit your back button to exit out of the Terminal Emulator. And you are done.Reboot into recovery to just double check it flashed.
Install ROM Manager from the market and open it up.
Press Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
Pick any of the listed recoveries
Wait til it finishes downloading
In a file explorer navigate to clockworkmod/dowload/download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
Rename the recovery you just downloaded and add .bak to it.
Now rename the recovery.img you wish to install to the name of the recovery you just downloaded exactly. (- the .bak )
Go back to the main menu
Press Flash ClockworkMod Recovery again and select the exact same one from the list again. Since its already been downloaded it will just flash it now.
When its finished it will pop a notice up.
Now with this method the version # will be of the other device's recovery but wont affect any functions.
Tried this method, and got "flash_image: not found" as a result...
Gonna try the other method now...
This is a no go also... After I flash Recovery in ROM Manager, there is no "clockworkmod/dowload/download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/", just "clockworkmod/download", which only has 2 files in it: "-2110140792" and "611006109"
I just can't win... :-/
Update: Just for shits and giggles... I tried to follow these steps with the 2 files listed above, renaming the original 2 by adding .bak, and renaming the recovery.img what they were named, without the .bak. Still no luck, it says successfully flashed CWM, but when I try to boot into recovery, it just gets stuck at the Huawei screen... If anyone cares to chime in with advise, I won't get mad.![]()
So are you simply trying to get CWM on your phone, or are you trying to do it without a computer to see if you can? I know you must know how to do it the old fashioned way that Tokenpoke says to, you've been around here too long.![]()
The TE works for me everytime.
Dont flash the one you download from RM. Just download it and it will put that directory in the cw folder and replace the one you have with the one it downloaded. If you already have a cwr folder rename it to something else so it makes a new one. Then download and replace then flash it in rm
Stock is terrible.
Tried this method, and got "flash_image: not found" as a result...
I got the same error as Can0dope: "flash_image: not found". My $PATH includes /data/local/bin, /sbin, /system/sbin, /system/bin, /system/xbin. Is "flash_image" a binary or a shell builtin? If binary, could it be hiding in another dir? Is there an alternative way to flash from the phone? The fastboot method hasn't worked for me either...
Any ideas appreciated!
I am receiving the same errors/issues as others above. I know the computer option is there however I have no access to a computer. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I have 5.0.2.8, however have read that 3.0.2.8 is best for installing cm7, so that's what I'm trying to get installed. Thanks in advance.
If I'm not mistaken, this is the thread that contains posts by shiny side about doing w/o a computer, which is why I added my post because I like a few others above have had no success with those methods. I was hoping someone might have another method figured out..
Of course I do have 5.0.2.8 successfully installed, and at this point am thinking about just using that to get cm7 on my phone, just wanted to get 3.0.2.8 because I've read it's recommended..
Click on SHINY SIDE'S avatar,then,search all his posts.Or,use the search feature located at the top right section of the desktop version of the forum.
I don't think that's the problem... It seems the commands do not work for some of us. Specifically the "flash image" command. This is the same problem I had. Fortunately for me, I had several computers available, and was able to flash CWM that way (just had to use a computer that hadn't been used for that purpose before). Unfortunately however, that doesn't help those who don't have access to a computer at all... :-\
