Was the issue with not being able to flash any ROMs not built for the P505 and P506 fixed?

Use my touch version, very last post in the touch cwm thread. That has buttons at bottom, but you can still use the physical keys. It can flash anything.

Or use the one I attached to this post. Just made it. Should not have the same error as you stated, Rashed1997.

Hm, OK thanks!

Thats not so much an issue with CWM as an issue with the ROMs. CWM is setup to only allow you to install ROM made for whatever phone you are using. The problem comes in when we try to run ROM designed for other phones (p500), CWM overrides our wishes and throws an error.

I can confirm that this is not a recovery issue. I've stumbled across a couple other rooms that I couldn't install - Status 7 error. I unpacked the rom. Edited the updater script to include my identified phone model. Then repackaged the rom. Everything works well.

It's an issue with the CWM not allowing you to install anything not for the P505. The standard Optimus One recovery from Rom Manager will let you install P500, P505, and P506 ROMS and possibly many more. That is the feature I'm talking about.

Gotcha

EDIT::
Now that I think about it you're right. I never had these issues with cwm 3.1.0.0. I updated to 5.0.2.7 then 5.0.2.7 Touch and started having rom installation issues.

Which then means that modifying the updater-script is simply a work around.

There are two ways to install it.

1) Copy to device's SDCard then reboot device into CWM recovery and use 'Install from zip' option
OR
2) Unzip the zip file and reboot your device to bootloader/fastboot mode and then use fastboot to flash the 'recovery.img' that is in the folder where you unzipped the zip file.

No. You're overwriting the recovery that's currently loaded in memory. That's why you reboot the recovery when you're finished flashing it.

I tried #2 and i used a app called quick boot and selected boot loader and all it did was restart itself. Did i do it all wrong?

If I'm remembering and saying this correctly, when u unzip u have to put the recovery image on to the root of your SD card(at least when I did it on the HTC phones that's how it was done) and the phone will detect or should detect the file nd ask if you want to flash... and u just go from there.

Personally I think flashing via recovery is easiest, if u can.

Do you have a ClockworkMod Recovery installed already? If so, I'm assuming you have the zip with the new recovery on your sdcard, power off your phone. Press the VOL DOWN+HOME+POWER all at the same time. Hold all 3 buttons for at least 5 seconds til the phone finishes booting into recovery mode. Select 'Install from zip" option, Select 'Choose zip' option, Browse and select the recovery zip, Select 'Yes - Install ???' option. Now wait until install complete. Hit BACK button to get back to first screen. Select 'Advanced' option. Select 'Reboot Recovery' option. The phone will then reboot back into recovery again.

If you don't have CWM, then you'll need fastboot.exe which is in the Android SDK.

i tried the first option and it had a logo with the android man then it went to start up and everything was erased (with rom manager) after all that mess i think i finally restored my missing apps im not sure about my contacts though also i dont have any kind of recovery

Is that mine from the JB thread?
If it is, just flash it like you would any other zip file or ROM
