Hey guys,
I followed this post to install the ClockworkMod Recovery on my O1. I after installed mik_os's rom from here.
Everything works just fine, however I have some doubts:
1. When I open Rom Manager from the menu, it tells me that CloclworkMod Recovery is NOT installed! Why? I can start the recovery by pressing home+power+vol_down but I can't use the Rom Manager. Is this because there is no official port of Rom Manager for O1?
2. Is there something I can do make the Rom Manager work as for my N1?
Thank you very much for your kind attention
Regards
ilcontegis
anyone?
I think that the problem is precisely because ROM Manager hasn't been ported over to the Optimus One (yet). The port of Clockwork recovery is still fairly recent and my guess is that ROM manager just isn't set up to recognize the O1 version of clockwork recovery.

I see, thank you.
This means that with time there is a good possibiliy that it will be ported. Nice

Hi Im new to the forums and have been loving them so far. Im a noob when it comes to this type of thing so im sort of lost.I have been attempting to install cm7 on my Optimus v recently and have been having trouble. I downloaded rom manager to my phone and have already rooted it. When I open Rom manager and attempt to flash clockworkMod Recovery It gives me a list of phone models to choose from but none of the are the optimus v. How do i go about installing it. Thank you for your time and i appreciate any help
Clockwork Recovery doesn't work with ROM Manager on the Optimus One. There are reports that Clockwork Reccovery does work on this phone (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942248) but it doesn't interface with ROM Manager. If you would like to flash custom ROMs, then you will need to put the zip file on your SD card, boot into the custom recovery (either Amon_RA or Clockwork), then flash the ROM from there.
As the title says, before I knew not to install Rom Manager, I installed it. I used Rom Manager to install CWM. However, when I try to boot into CWM, I get the "Android system recovery <3e>" in blue lettering. I have uninstalled Rom Manager, but is there anything else I need to do to clean up anything Rom Manager might have done?
thanks
I did it too, not sure if its bad or ok?
It is OKAY to install rom manager and will not create an issue just having it installed. What you cannot do right now correctly is get it to go into cwm correctly on stock roms.
(It works flawless on cm7 and I use it daily or every couple days. I have even used it to back up the STOCK Samsung rom and cm7 roms. I have then in turn went from cm7 back to stock via cwm with the backed up copy I made with rom manager).
Once you see the cwm3 recovery just reboot phone, turn it back off, three finger salute until you see the Samsung galaxy s screen and let go of the buttons. This will get you back to the proper cwm to install roms.

First you need to download this SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar
kernel, here is the link: http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT
Go into download mode and flash with ODIN.
After doing that you need to ROOT the phone using "SuperOneClick" rooter which
can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894
Once you get done with these two steps sucessfully you will be good to go and will be able
to flash any custom rom found in this forum. You will also have the CWM recovery screen too.
(notice: I did NOT say anything about rom manager in any of the two above steps )
Good Luck
Thank you very much for your replies. I am currently running a "rooted" stock rom. Are you saying that I will need to re-root the phone after installing SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar?
Thanks for your help.

If you are really are rooted now then just do step #1 afterwards just make
sure that there is an app installed called "superuser" if you cannot find that
app that means that you are not rooted and will need to root again.
Hi Misterjunky
Thank you for your post
I had exact same problem: installed and run ROM manager before read
Instead use the method you method: flash with ODIN. can I use Mobile Odin Lite mentioned here?

sorry if this has been asked before. I recently rooted my fascinate and I installed Rom manager and when I try to flash the latest recovery it tells me to select my phone and the options that come up are the Epic 4G and the Galaxy S i9000. Any Suggestions?
uninstall rom manager and install cwm recovery via odin. Rom manager is useless on the fascinate unless your on cm7 nightly... even then its not very usefull since there hasnt been a nightly for 2-3weeks.

Yes, that worked. Thanks for the help
When I try to download the ROM from ROM manager, it tells me that I need install Clockworkmod Recovery, but when I pressed install, it came up with a Confirm Phone Model page which does not have Galaxy 5 as a option. So I am now just stuck here, what should I do, or is the free version of ROM manager pure not very useful?

did you root your phone?
what rom are you actually using?
did you try to update Rom Manager to an earlier version?
I assume your phone is rooted already. Don't continue if it's not.
I thought there was an official one released for the phone. Are you using the newest version of ROM Manager?
If yes, and our phone model is still not listed, then you'll need to install Clockworkmod Recovery by following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151396
It involves downloading a program called ODIN. You need to flash (transfer) the Clockworkmod file to your phone through USB. It's all in the thread above.
I had the same problem - installing the latest Rom Manager (free version) from the store didn't have Galaxy5 listed as a ClockworkMod possibility.
I flashed the whole thing by hand with ODIN and installed CyanogenMod - and presto; the version supplied with it had Galaxy5 support and I had no problem doing the "read only partition" installation.
Rom Manager is pretty crappy anyway - I prefer manual installation over it...
DO NOT - i repeat - DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER.
Theres no compatible version of CWMR it does offer. Flashing any of the other versions, which are made for other phones, might brick your device to the state that Im currently trying to revert (d/l mode only, but seemingly unflashable).

Why did you say that??? If the phone is rooted you can download CWM by RomManager without fear.. the important is that when the popup with phones versions come up, you choose only - ONLY! - Galaxy 5 voice! If this voice is not present into the popup, don't choose nothing at all! Choosing another phone might brick yours!
I downloaded and installed and even only update CWM by RomManager a lot of times and everything was always fine! No problem at all!!
You cannot scare people for nothing: your problems are not bug or issues, but only YOUR problems! and YOUR errors!!!
So, boyz, don't worry installing CWM by RomManager.. but remember to choose only Galaxy 5 voice, no other phone, 'cause you could brick your phone selecting a CWM that is not compatible with our GT-I5500..
Hi everyone,
After a lot of searching (even though the searching tool is pretty bad or I don't understand how to use it) I decided that i would install CyanogenMod 7.2 in my SGA (S5830).
When I got to the part of installing it, I read I had to use CWM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583871 ). I know that I can install CWM through Rom Manager, but I've read in many places that Rom Manager bricks SGA.
After searching a bit more i got to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225493&highlight=clockworkmod which actually confused me a lot but made me learn that CWM manager exists.
So:
- To use CWM am I suposed to install CWM manager?
- Does CWM manager has options like Rom Manager to saver current roms and those things? (Mainly because i read a nice Rom manager tutorial and it would be nice if i could apply it to CWM manager)
- Is "CWM5 Recovery" included in CWM manager?
- Any recommendation (optional, lol)
Thanks for your attention and possible answer
DON'T USE rom manager, it bricks the ace
You don't have to install the ROM manager app if you wanna flash a ROM. Just flash cmw5 from stock recovery (Menu + Power at startup.) and reboot to recovery again then select flash zip select the ROM and reboot.
DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER!!!
IT IS ABOUT THE ONLY THING THAT CAN BRICK AN ACE!!
Welcome to the ace community hope you have an "Aceing" time!
I succesfully flashed the rom. Thank you for your answers
