Is the CWM from the latest rom manager (blue, version 5.0.20) good to go for all your ROM and kernel flashing / nandroid needs? I knew the older versions had issues but been reading that the latest version is fixed.
I been reading bits and pieces would like XDA opinions.

Try it and tell us.
I don't see a reason to flash something different in place of -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
since it already works fully without problems.
Depends if you want to take risks or not... Romracer's works just fine.
after I unlocked and rooted, I installed CWM rom manager and installed CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 from the rom manger and worked perfect, I have done about 3 back-ups and has work perfect
It's working and now supports sdcard & internal sdcard.

It also supports ext-4 (I believe romracers does too) so its good for those looking to flash CM7 pre beta 4
yep turns out its the 'recommended' one for CM7 so I'm going with it for now.
cheers

Confirmed? I did a backup a couple days ago from in rom manager to test it, and it just backed up to internal sd with no prompts. Perhaps you're talking about from directly booting into recovery? In that case, pass, I'll stick with rom racer.

As of today, RomManager's CWM does give you the option to choose the external sd card but it doesn't actually work. So internal only still. And RomRacer's recovery does NOT support ext-4, only ext-3 as far as I'm aware.

I modified the official 1.2 update to allow CWM to flash them. You can use these to upgrade to 1.2 or to return to stock.
There are two files. One replaces CWM with the stock recovery (good for going back to stock). The other doesn't replace CWM (but will replace uboot).
Other than that they are identical to the update from B&N.
update-nc-stock-1.2-keepcwm-signed.zip
update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip
Please note neither one of these are rooted yet.
Just curious as to if this is rooted or just fixed to allow use of CWM?
Nevermind just read the full post!!
So just to make sure, I could use the one zip to return to full stock but with the 1.2 update? Also will this work if I have CM7 and CWM on my emmc? So reboot into CW, format \system and \data then flash the update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip, then Reboot. At that point, I should be 100% 1.2 stock, sound about right?
I thinking about returning to stock and just run CM7 for my SD if this is an options.
Thanks,
Derek.

Assuming you haven't fooked up any paritioning by using the "dual-boot" stuff you can return to 100% stock by doing the folllowing:
Download the update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip above
Flash the zip with CWM (either from emmc or sdcard)
Use CWM to factory reset the device (wipe /data and /cache)
Reboot into 100% stock froyo
If you have modified your partitions this will not work.
This won't work off of an sd right?
I'd like to modify this so it just installs to my dual boot partition.
I've done this before with flashing kernels, but there are more partitions here to take care of.
I figure if I'm going to change the updater script to mount the correct block partitions then I should also have it wipe /data and /cache on the secondary partition.
Any ideas on syntax?

Once we have a rooted version I'll probably check it out for fun.

I guess I wasn't clear the first time: if I use this method, am I stuck with B&N's version of Froyo until someone figures out how to root this one, or can I just reflash CM7? And I'm not sure I understand the difference between both of the zips that nemith has produced.
In any case, thanks nemith - I always appreciate the work that the devs do!

If you dont like this, just boot into a bootable clockwork recovery and flash cm7 or whatever you want. You wont be stuck on this.
One zip removes Clockwork Recovery and puts the stock recovery back. The other leaves Clockwork Recovery intact.
I'd assume, leaving it intact allows you to flash back to any backups or any other Rom if incase you do not like the official build.
I'm at work so I'm unable to test it out.
Or you can always just use a bootsble SD with clockwork on it to reflash whatever ron or backup you have.

Any way you could make something would allow you to flash 1.2 onto a secondary parttion for those of us who are dual booters?
So Ive got this thing rooted but I for the life of me cannot get the market to work. I have the vending.apk and googleservicesframework.apk under /system/app but market will not show up in my app drawer on the stock or adw launcher. Under manage applications, market or googleservicesframework arent there either. Does the nook have other dependencies? If anyone with some experience could throw some suggestions my way. ADB isnt currently working without the driver. Ive added other apps that are showing up and working perfectly.

no, which one are you using? You should be using romracer's recovery and not the recovery from rom manager.

Its possible. Maybe your recovery is outdated so it doesn't have the option to use internal sd. Use the latest romracer's recovery.

Dont use the one from rom manager. Romracer's recovery is different from the one from rom manager. Romracer's recovery is specialized for our atrix, so it can detect atrix partition, including partition for webtop and emmc (internal storage).

While I agree with the previous post about using Romracers recovery, I don't agree with the reasoning, but you should definitely use Romracers. The ROM Manager version, if I am remembering correctly does not allow backup to external sdcard? I forget, but in any event, Romracer's recovery is the most stable and widely used for the Atrix. (Oh yeah, and avoid touch recovery).
Thank you guys,...
I wonder, why they include ROM Manager in roms if we cant really use them?
Same thing with my Asus Transformer

I managed to compile twrp for the SGS3 GT-I9300. I loved this recovery on my SGS1 (until I couldn't get it to activate on devil kernel) and my Galaxy Tab 10.1. It has saved my rear end several times while testing the A1 kernel. With its on recovery terminal I could dd flash the stock kernel. CWM Touch is nice but I ABSOLUTELY LOATHE the blobs backup format. It makes it darn near impossible to save nandroid backups on your computer. I can understand the logic behind the blobs format but I still hate it. Also, I think it's a shame that the American/Canadian Qualcomm SGS3 has TWRP but the international power house doesn't.
I just downloaded the twrp source a few hours ago so this is TWRP V2.2.2.1. Unfortunately, the external SD does not mount but I did manage to get adb to work. I think that you could always adb push a rom zip in the event you cannot boot, forgot to make a nandroid, and forgot to have a "just in case" zip. Also, when rebooting, YOU MUST CHOOSE REBOOT SYSTEM. If you just poweroff, it will reboot into recovery the next time. If you forget and choose poweroff and it reboots into recovery, just choose reboot system and everything will be fine.
Attached is A1 (the character my A1 kernel is named after) holding my I9300 showing the recovery. The source is also uploaded, which includes files that I've changed in case anybody is interested to know how I did it. There is a rootzwiki page with instructions I followed. Just a few minor deviations from the instructions. I did "make recoveryimage" instead of "make amp amp..." that they recommended. And the obvious deviation, our device is called i9300 not tenderloin. That's the HP Touchpad.
I flashed the latest CM10 nightly from it, the latest siyah kernel and a touchwiz zip and nothing went wrong. Also tested backup and restore. Went fine.
Here is a youtube video demonstrating TWRP on the Galaxy Nexus by some random person on youtube.
Credits: team win, siyah kernel developer (recycled your zip to make the recovery zip). None of the code is original from me. I only tweaked the recovery.rc to enable adb.
sounds Good .
I'll wait for few replies
and I'll test it myself later on
Could you add A video of you showing all the menu's around this recovery ?
one more thing:
did you check that all the functions are working ?

Trying to flash the latest cm11 and I get stuck on the boot screen. ( boot loop ?)
Any suggestions ?
I followed skeptic's guide...kind of...I flashed straight from Hellybean to CM11. Along the way I had a bootloop. No big deal, hold power + Vol. up for 15-20 sec. then three finger into recovery, flash CM11 again, reboot to recovery, flashCM11 one more time. Profit.
Persistence payed off for me. Flash and reboot recovery till it takes.

you might want to try flashing SuperSU http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip
also i had the same issue with the apps not moving to the SD card. there were actually quite a few games i couldnt install. it's an issue, i think, with the original Samsung 16GB class 2 SD cards. kitkat just doesn't like those.
a workaround for that is to install apps with the SD card out of the phone (if you cant install certain apps) and moving apps to the SD card just won't work. you have to upgrade to a newer card (class 6 or higher, i've tried a class 4 and it didnt work)
Well the no apps on the sd card is a kitkat issue, android changed so you can not do this anymore.
You can move their cached data to the sd card which helps some.
Don't know why on the no root, try the update skept linked to. Ya need to upgrade to it anyway regardless...

the sd card thing blows... i think i can actually do that on my s4 though but i know samsung modified the living hell out of kitkat (they actually did a lot right IMO, touchwiz has gotten a lot better imo)
also i didnt have root issues on the cm11 rom on my fassy. supersu should work though.
Well, I installed SuperSU. That runs (I think) but doing a root check with root checker app, it says I don't have root. Strange. Still can't install the xda app. I do like this Rom though. I'm wondering if the gapps I installed has anything to do with it. "PA GAPPS MODULE 4.4" that was suggested someplace in my reading about the installation of cm11. Oh, also I am using a class 10 32 gig sdcard with plenty of space left now so don't think that is a problem.
