Bought another Cliq, but rom manager...
  • animefreakanimefreak February 22

    Hey guys, I just recently bout a cliq in awesome condition from a friend of mine (Tmobile cliq, dunno if that makes a difference) and upgraded it to 2.1 Eclair vanilla (rom manager doesnt install on the 1.5 version to flash cyanogenmod's official update for it). Apparently I cannot remember how to update it to the 2.3 versions cause I did it a year ago. I have the recovery image of 1.4.8 (old, right??) and I dont know where to get more recent ones to flash the cm7 I downloaded. Can someone help me?

    Did you root it first?

    Root. Flash recovery. Install Rom. Shouldn't really matter what you're on atm.

  • animefreakanimefreak February 22

    Yeah I rooted (I think :S I flashed the 1.4 recovery from my pc with ADB) then did the upgrade to 2.1


    @Invisobel I dont have a newer recovery image to flash with

    Okay apparently I have not rooted :( It worked on my MB220 just fine. Uhm.... How to root? :$

    Just root, install rom manager, flash recovery. Once your rooted any number of apps will install the recovery for you, rom manager, adlx's 1-click recovery flasher,etc. Then your good to go.....
    Need to get root first though, that's the key...super one click, z4root, follow the guide on cyanogenmod wiki for cliq/dext/mb200

  • animefreakanimefreak February 22

    Yeah, can you tell me how to do that?

    To root.... Go to 4shared.com and search for z4root. Install it and run it. Open superuser and update it. Open market and dl ROM manager and flash CWM. Put a ROM on your sdcard and flash it...backups are up to you to do.

  • animefreakanimefreak February 22

    I'll try that.

  • animefreakanimefreak February 22

    Its not available on the market, and the backup I have says that 'there is a problem parsing the package'

    ..... I'm guessing thats not a good thing

    The current ROM Manager is only for Froyo(2.2) and up. You have to get the older ROM Manager v4.8 or so which you can find on 4shared.com also.

  • animefreakanimefreak February 22

    I didnt know that, I'll try it now 

  • animefreakanimefreak February 22

    I got the rom manager to install, but it says that an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands :( I used the z4root and did the permanent root, guess that didnt work.. 

  • animefreakanimefreak February 22

    Okay so just keeping you guys up to date, the only way it stays rooted for the rom manager to flash recovery is to temporarily root it until next reboot with z4root. I think I have to install the google apps too? I'm not sure, with the cm7.1.0.1 update i read that I had to. :| Correct me if I'm wrong, its the only way to get the market?

  • Double0EKDouble0EK February 23

    Yes

  • animefreakanimefreak February 23

    :D It works! Updated the market and everything. Thanks alot guys :) :)
