Yep, goes in the root of your SD card. The problem most people are having is that file extensions are hidden in windows. So the file you have named as Update.zip is actually Update.zip.zip (you just cant see the last .zip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BenSeiDank Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Sorry, but I think the download link doesn`t work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jdtanner Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) If I select "wipe data/factory reset" in the menu, does it do what it says on the tin? If so, can you choose to install the R3 from the menu afterwards? John **Edit** If anyone else is interested, I decided to go ahead and select if before flashing R3 and it just erased the user data...phew :) Edited October 10, 2010 by jdtanner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 @Paul adb recovery is not working o this release was on the other one, not a big problem just to let you know. What do you mean? I do 'adb reboot recovery' and it works fine. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ficosaneil Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi there, first post :) superb site!! Ok, I've just ordered an Orange San Francisco (which incidentally I got for £79.99 by calling Orange and informing them I'm a current PAYG customer despite only having a PAYG sim for about 10 minutes). My day-to-day use is actually a Vodafone contract. I've had a HTC Magic for the last 12 months and become sick of 1.6 and it running slower and slower. Ok, I need to a) unlock the device which should be easy as I understand there are sellers on eBay doing it for 99p. :) install the custom ROM that deletes all the Orange junk and adds improvements -> this I'm a little more worried about. Please let me know if I've got this right. 1) I'll follow the steps to Install Clockwork Mod Recovery 2) I'll then download and install R3 of the Custom Rom from here And then I'm done? Is it that easy? Should this take 5-10minues? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DaveMac Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Forgive me if this is a question of super-noob proportions, but.... My SF is already flashed with r3 from the MCRi method (did it before the ClockworkMod was posted up). Everything is working fine for me, but should I also flash the clockworkmod recovery in readiness for a potential r4 release? I've had no problems rooting & flashing whatsoever, so have no issues carrying out the steps required, but just wondered if it will screw anything up? Is there any problem with adding this on after I have already loaded superboot r3 and the modaco rom r3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also running r3, got Titanium Backup too, is there any need to do this clockwork business? I don't quite understand what exactly the benefit is.

Guest sorrowuk Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Is it possible to have the screen the other way round. Like is it possible to do ? Has it just been left upside down as it was the easier route ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bignred84 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 can someone please confirm, if it still worth doing this now bearing in mind I've already rooted & flashed my sf with R3 thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbobvfr400 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Not sure about adding clockwork recovery as it was already available when I got my phone although it should be easy enough and shouldn't effect your device other than adding the recovery options. Its well worth doing though, because all future roms will be released for clockwork recovery. Also the full backup from recovery is very handy. Having the mod actually makes it possible to download a new ROM and flash it all on the phone, no need to be near your PC, not that you're likely to want to do this but its a lot easier than faffing with cables and the command line on your PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Afrodude Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 cheers, can you please point me to the 64bit Windows 7 drivers? Mine installed automatically. Make sure you have the option to "check online for drivers" option enabled. Basically just plug in your phone, follow the instructions through and when you reboot with the volume button held up it should just find the drivers.
