I would like to flash an alternate recovery through rom manager. The Photon isnt listed as any devices in rom manager. I have to flash clockwork in order to flash alternate recovery. Which device can I use? Droid2 or Atrix? Photon isnt listed in rom manager.

I think there is only one recovery compatible with the Photon at this time. Don't think Rom Manager will be much use yet.
There's a port of clock work mod in the Dev section. You have to unlock your boot loader. Our you can leave your boot loader locked and use the boot strap clock work mod apk that you have use with your phone plugged into your AC charger in the wall.

I've been using AmonRA recovery since I got the Optimus in December and I am comfortable with it. I've tried out Miks port of CM7 and while it's great, i sorely miss the battery performance I was getting on Froyo with Void and running 824mhz stable without any problems. That and bluetooth is sorely missed. I want to give OpenOptimus a shot, but I am extremely weary of trying to install Clockwork Mod again, because the one time I attempted it I ended up bricking my phone. Thankfully, the guy at the Tmo kiosk in the mall just gave me a new one no questions asked. I wouldn't be so hesitant to install CWM on my phone if I could install the img just like I did with AmonRA instead of trusting Rom manager to do it for me.
I don't suggest you to flash recovery via ROM manager. IMHO ClockworkMod is better,has much more options. If you'll flash the 3.1.0.0 version using my flashable zips you won't brick anything. And remember to give openOptimus a shot,you won't regret it

I'm not sure I understand correctly. I thought that clockworkmod was the recovery that is installed by Rom Manager. All of the instructions for installing CWM simply say to install Rom Manager. Ultimately, I do aim to install OpenOptimus but I need to switch from running AmonRA recovery to CWM recovery. And what exactly do you mean by flashable zip? I installed AmonRA using the ADB and an .img file. it there is a thread anywhere here that clearly details the process to install CWM recovery, please point me to it.

Sorry about that. I didn't realize that you could actually flash a recovery from within the recovery. I just switched to CWM and flashed OpenOptimus. Waiting for first boot as I'm typing this.

yes a stated above u can just enter into recovery and flash any recovery u want from the link pointed out above and its safe ,since u already have recovery installed u dont need to flash recovery via rom manager and just remember that any backup taken from any recovery would be restored using the same recovery. To clear all doubts the problem has been solved and installing recovery from rom manger works flawlessly now. Note:Its advisable to use rommanager for ppl not having recovery installed just download the latest rom mager and flash choosig ur phone type.
slightly off topic, but does anyone know where I can get the T-Mobile branded P509 kdz stock firmware just in case I end up needing to roll back to stock? I can't seem to find it anywhere, the_ERROR's thread on howto is closed and the links don't work anymore.

nope its not safe at all using rom manager ~
I flashed CWM and my friend died a few days later.
So no it's not safe.
For me there are no problems with clockworkmod and RomManager. Flashed cwm via RomManager and everything is fine here.

it not about using rom manger for flashing rom ,it just to get the cwm recovery and then going into recovery and using it from there.
Many had problems flashing rom from clockwork so that not advisable but installing cwm is fine 100% sure
M happy with CWM
Don't use tricks like ROM Manager... It's just matter of learning to use a recovery, not that difficult.. just IMHO
You just need to use ROM manager Once to get recovery. After that you can delete the program and enjoy the CWM recovery.
I have been there, I have done it, You do want it
CWM works beautifully without problems..
I use rom manager just to reboot to recovery, as i am too lazy to use the 3 button combo to goto recovery.
Flashed ROMs and zips with CWM. 100 % safe untill now..
The new updared Rom Manager has solved that issue.

How much I've learned in just a month!
I can't believe I had to ask that question. I know now that there are numerous ways to flash recoveries. My personal preference is to do it manually using the adb.

See this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15186637&postcount=337
No, it is not 100% fine, in fact it lacks any sanity checks whatsoever.
Just flash CWM through your current recovery and you'll be fine. It's by far the safest method. If you flash through ROM Manager and after reboot you get stuck in fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015332 ... happened to me, unbricked it with some slight changes to the tutorial. Nothing important.
PS: If you don't use Rom Manager you can always do a $su then #reboot recovery in a terminal (Downloadable from market) to reboot directly to recovery.
Does it matter which I use to flash a rom? If there is a difference, what is it?
My device is the Inspire 4G, and I've rooted with attn1's ace hack kit. I'm quite new to rooting. Thanks!
It doesn't matter. It just comes down to personal preference. A custom recovery may have a few more options than CWM.
Thank you for the reply!
CWM is your recovery. The app is ROM manager. It is better to flash through your recovery.
when in recovery mode there is no advance menu to flash rom on t-mobile g2 and mytouch 4g. What do i need to do.

Is there an option to install as a zip?
That's where you flash your rom.
We can also flash recovery with the help of an app called Rashr.
I was using revolutionary recovery which worked great. Then from Rom Manager I decided to install clockwork mod recovery to make using rom manager more efficient. Well since I've done that i cant boot into any recovery at all. I can get into bootloader but when I go into recovery the phone just restarts. Running Olympus titan XE and was trying to install HD 3.0

Hey I was wondering about this too. Where can I get regular CWM for Evo 3D instead of the revolutionary one? I would like to flash it through Fastboot or Flash Image GUI but I can't seem to find it anywhere to download...
Kind of getting lost in the Dev forum stuff, I flash every month or two but am not able to keep up reguarly.
Any reason to NOT use Rom manager? It seems romracers is preferred? Does Rom Manager have to pair with the CWM recovery, or can you flash the romracer recovery through rommanager and do your ROM flashes through rom manager (utilizing romracers recovery).
If that makes any sense haha.
I am currently on wet dream, w/ romracers from about 6-8 weeks ago. Is it possible to:
Install Rom Manager
Flash newest romracer recovery through rom manager via .zip
flash new ROMs via Rom Manager GUI?
Thanks
I personally use touch CWM for every ROM and never had an issue. I am curious too from other recovery users what they think of them.
You should add a poll to the thread to see which recoveries people are using.

Are you current on what recoveries are out there/available and what is working with what?
I'm still not clear on the interface between rom manager (haven't used it) as an app in the GUI and the recovery that we boot into via reboot + power + vol down.
I'll add a poll if I know what to poll

You get the rom manager recovery from the app itself along with the touch one too. Rom racers is in ATRIX development section.

So i guess my question is then, is the rom manager gui front end tied to the rom manager recovery? Or could one install rom manager (app) and use it with the romracer recovery?

If you try to use ROM Manager it will tell you that you need to flash recovery first if you have Romracer's recovery installed, so in essence they can co-exist, (meaning you can use both independant of each other), but to get full ROM Manager functionality you will need to flash the ROM Manager recovery through that app.
My personal preference is Romracer's recovery. Never had any problems with it at all. Touch recovery is too easy to make a mistake by touching the screen in error, and if I remember correctly you cannot backup to external SDCARD with touch recovery or ROM Manager recovery. Can't remember to be sure if that's correct so someone can point out my mistake there, but there are differences which make Romracer's more functional, so I have stuck with it.
Hi just a quick question.I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 on Sasktel Carrier (Canadian), model mumber: SGH-I747M and i cannot boot CWM Recovery. I have deleted the two /system/ files that some advised to do and i know i am rooted because i have SuperRoot but I still cannot boot it. So im wondering how i could boot CWM Recovery (Keep in mind im a pretty new to this stuff). Is it possible to root my phone more than once without bricking my phone?
i followed this video to root my phone and i was wondering if i could go through the steps again and try to reach the CWM recovery mode that way or would that brick my phone?

You have to flash the recovery to boot into it

If I were to follow the instructions from your link could it brick my phone? I've already rooted my phone. Or is this just putting the recovery into my phone? Thanks for the help!

If you follow the procedure in the guide there is minimal risk of bricking your phone, and fortunately in the unlikely event something does go wrong most of the time you can use Odin to fix any mistakes. This procedure will just flash Clockworkmod Recovery and will not effect root access on your phone.

or just download Rom Manager from the play store and flash recovery that way.
1. Open Rom Manager and tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option in the app.
2. You’ll be asked to select your device, select your device name.
3. As soon as you select the model, it should begin installing the recovery.
4. When it has done installing the recovery, you will get a message for the same on your screen.
*NOTE: I do not recommend Rom Manager as a tool to do anything but just install and update ClockworkMod Recovery. Do not flash ROMs from Rom Manager.
I've heard rom manager is a great way to install custom roms. How would you recommend to install custom roms? Through cwm recovery? I cannot install it through rom manager because it says recovery setup instead of flash and when I do try it says i747m isn't supported

The problem with ROM Manger is that on newer devices it can brick your device if you use it to install custom ROMs or try to use it to flash a recovery image even if it is a device that has official Clockworkmod Recovery support. I would recommend either using Clockworkmod Recovery or Team Win Recovery Project to install custom ROMs.
