rom recovery

I was wondering can't I use recovery update option to update rom as it stuck on boot and I made only one change with titanium backup :( stupid titanium no conformation I pressed it accidently. Because sp flash tool is too complicated than update from recovery option...

Yes try to put the ota-update.zip on a microSD card, boot into the recovey and flash the ota-update.zip.
But you can ONLY do it with the ota-update.zip - it may fix your issue if it can't boot.

Yes stock recovery and stock rom I read that titanium backup can not work with odex or deodex (don't remember) like this rom. But phone worked when I pressed make it system app. I can't understand why such important functions don't have conformation dialog.

Do you guys know how to open backup? I made backup through recovery and I hope after I update phone to get back my data. but if that don't work is there a way to open that .backup file?

anybody know how to remove that crappy google search bar off the home screen please
I want that tooo!!!

Also I manage to fix my problem. I updated through recovery and made backup before than while in there than afer rom I restored backup and didn't wipe anything. So I had all my apps and settings saved. Just two minor changes I made inside rom are lost(like busybox and gps.conf file ), but big work was saved :) I'm very happy because I downloaded a lot of apps and configured them!

Try to use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.chris.blackspotdetect and see if it solves the problem

I have had the umi zero now for a week, over all happy with the phone, but wondered about a few issues bluetooth, I use this in my car most of the time phone works, but bluetooth audio is intermittent, and it wont display the info on my car display my old iphone 4s never had a problem, is this an issue with this phone!! overall no other complaints apart from the battery which does not last that long
