it doesnt let you see recovery, its just another way to do stuff without recovery like using rom manager to flash things
iv been from froyo 2.2.1 to SH3.8 to 3.9 without doing anything in recovery so you dont really need the bootloaders

U didn't odin to stock? Mine kept force closing n rainbowing even after start up. I flashed lates sh through rom manager but same deal.

no but i went to 3.3 first through recovery and wiped then flashed 3.8 (3.9 wasnt out when i did it) through the CWM app and that wiped again i think then i flashed 3.9 though rom manager without wiping

Where can I find cwm app?

[Q] Extremely new and have a few questions

So I'm really new to custom ROMs and recoveries, and I have a few questions. I already flashed ClockworkMod, but if I want to get rid of it, is deleting the update.zip all I have to do? And if I were to make a backup and then flash a custom ROM, but decided to go back to my recovery, it would be exactly like it was before flashing the custom ROM, correct? I think that's about it, thanks for taking the time to read and answer.
First flash the correct kernel (2.1 or 2.2 ) of the one used for your backup. Then restore. Then delete update.zip
After that it will be how you had it

I think in this case doing you would also need to reset the phone and do a cache wipe as well then reboot and it would see as stock
So how would I get my hands on the stock kernel and flash it?

So I haven't had access to a computer the past few days, but how would I flash the stock kernel from the Bible thread? Is it just in an update.zip?

From your phones browser download the kernel. Once in recovery locate the kernal on your INTERNAL sd card and flash it like you would a rom. Hope that helps
Wow I didn't know you can jist flash ketnals Luke a rom. Good stucf

[Q] ROOTED, but says it's not... WTF?!

Stock 2.2 Long story short, I rooted my Vibrant. Says it rooted, everything's fine. BUT
Busybox says it's not rooted, superuser is there.
Everything acts like it's rooted otherwise except ROM Manger doesn't ask for permission but won't boot into recovery.
Tried custom 3e recovery installer. When I try to reinstall packages it never goes into CWM recovery.
WTF?!?!
I don't think you can root 2.2. I have always found the best way is to Odin back to 2.1 and then use super one click root. Then install your customs roms or whatever from there.

Somebody better tell my phone that lol. I had 2.2 rooted previously

You can root 2.2 I did it but did you power down your phone after root... it needs to reboot as far as cwm you cant use it on 2.2... 3e is cool but alot of people have problems with it... Odin to stock 2.1 its easier...

How did you get it to work? I am having the same problems as you described.
run superoneclick and reboot phone afterwards. You must reboot for it to work.

Flash rom on stock 2.2

I have stock 2.2. Can I flash a rom to it and how?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You can do a couple of things...to have it work with 2.2.
-Odin a Voodoo integrated kernel
-Odin CWM(not sure about this)
OR
-Odin Back to stock JFD--then flash CWM via Rom Manager
You have to Odin whichever way I guess.

Just go to the developement section of this forum and click on the tab that says "stickies".....every thing you need to know is right there. please, some research on your end will go a long ways

Amon Ra????

Can anyone do the Amon RA for Vibrant??? My bro have the evo 4g and he told me is better than Tom manager...
its a great recovery, but rom manager does everything we need, and does it well.
hit up amon on twitter, but I doubt he will do it.....
What's wrong with Clockwork?
It's because I don't know how to delete a kernel with the clockworkmod and mybro told me he can do it with amonra... you know how to do it without use Odin to revert to stock the phone???

why would you want to delete your kernel? just flash another kernel instead..

+1,
just flash a new kernel on top using SGS kernel flasher, its super easy.
Also, SGS Kernel Flasher can do a backup of current kernel, in case you want to go back after flashing a new one!
Amon_Ra is great (my N1) but CWMR is an awesome recovery...no need to go trying to fix what isn't broken.
I know that, I just want to delete it without flash another one...

im confused, why would you want to delete your kernel without flashing a new one. your phone would not boot....
One of us is really confused....guessing its not me
Really dumb to delete a kernel...wtf has happened to these forums?
I'd actually enjoy amon RA also, but cwm serves its purpose well...

Every Rom comes with a kernel, if you flash another one and you don't like it, you can't go back, you need to flash another one to change it... that's the point I'm talking about...

That's what you're supposed to do...or use sgs kernel flasher and backup the current before you flash...
you're confused man...what rom are you on?
Recovery is part of the kernel from what I remember. There isn't a seperate partition for it. Delete kernel u delete recovery. CWMR boots off SD if I'm not mistaken. I forget these things after 2days of parties XP

[?] Miui vs. touchwiz

I'm currently using simply honey 4.0 rc3 and I've always heard good things about miui but it sounds very difficult to install. I have gb boot loaders so I'm not sure how to install it since they're aosp. Another thing is I've heard miui had inferior battery life to touchwiz roms so can anyone share any advice?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If u flash with gb bootloaders the external sd wont mount no big deal but I quickly grew accustomed to MIUI because its so customizable and I hated touchwiz and as for battery I flashed the glitch kernel and undervolted and I got about 12 hrs with moderate use and my battery was at 61% but I guess battery varys from person to person
Sounds good which miui and how do I backup my efs
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
you can always just flash the froyo bootloader if you switch to miui and you won;t have the external sd problem

Yeah but the complex and tedious work to test a rom just seems a little out there so I wanted to know is miui really worth the big amount of risks I'm happy with my current rom but I've heard good things about miui

Tedious? all you do is put it on the root of your int sd card and flash it...then odin back to stock if you want to go back to Touchwiz based roms.

Thanks for the advice although I'm not a noob I've been a root user since they released cupcake on the g1 I just needed to clarify a few things before I tested miui now to figure out why my odin displays mandarin maybe because the boot loaders are chinese?
