I'm currently on the latest sensation rom with ninphetamine kernel.
Problem is that I'm unable to boot using rom manager into cwm or make a backup of current rom.
It displays at the top of rom manager that the current version of cwm is 4.0.1.5 however if I boot into cwm using the 3 button combo it displays 4.0.0.2. I'm assuming that's the version that came with the ninphetamine kernel.
I have tried flashing cwm 4.0.1.5 with an update.zip in version 4.0.0.2 and after doing that it changes to 4.0.1.5 but after a reboot its back to 4.0.0.2.
I guess I'm doing or have done something really stupid here and would appreciate if anyone could point out my problem.
Download the app Quickboot from Market and boot into your real recovery from it. Don't use ROM Manager to boot into recovery. Ignore the recovery under ROM Manager. It is not a true recovery but an update.zip file. Your real recovery is the one that comes with your kernel.

The solution I'm looking for is being able to use rom manager. I've paid £4 for this app and so far its useless to me.
I'm wondering if there is a way to have rom manager use the cwm from the kernel.
There isn't. Search for posts from codeworkx to see why.

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.

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.
So Im Rooted. Can I ? And Should I Install CWM using the rom manager program? Also is there a specific CWM version for the Fascinate ? Is installing with Odin better? Where do I find the diffrent versions of CWM avialable?
Facinate seems to need ClockWorkMod Version 2.5.1.2
Facinate seems to need ClockWorkMod Version 2.5.1.2 or it will hang, (as there are two separate language barriers and it Version 3.x.x.x at this time can't communicate with the other language. See the Link Below for more Details).

Do not use rom manager at all. It does not work for the Fascinate. Also don't use anything from the link the previous poster provided. All the CWM's in that link are for the Epic 4G not the Fascinate. Most everything for the Fascinate is now written in Edify script so you have two options for a working CWM and both are better flashed in ODIN in my opinion:
CWM from times_infinity - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36791/CWM3_Voodoo.tar.md5
CWM from nemesis2all - http://www.multiupload.com/8VDE8GX69P
So IM going to assume that Rom manager is useless on the fascinate? I should be using odin for all rom management? Thank you for All the help Im learning so much! you guys Rock!
So are there any diffrences bettween the two CWM versions that are avialable ? And where do I Find info on both of them ?

Information on times_infinity's version can be found in his thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046905
The one from nemsis2all gets flashed to your phone when you flash the OTB kernel. There is no thread for nemesis2all's CWM. It is basically the same as the one from times_infinity except it includes the ability to enable and disable the 100mhz step when using an OTB kernel. If you are not using an OTB kernel from nemesis2all you may want to stick with the CWM from times_infinity.
If you are unfamiliar with using CWM here is a great guide on how to use it including screenshot visual aides:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...-clockworkmod-recovery-w-screen-captures.html
ROM Manager has been useless for many months now for the Fascinate.
I only use Odin to flash recoveries and to flash back to stock.
CWM is what you use to flash custom ROMs by using the "install zip from sdcard" option, and then navigating to the zip file of the ROM you downloaded. Just use regular USB mass storage to get the zip file on your phone or just use your phone to download the ROM.
We dont use rom manager much.but we will once we get Official CM7 support.

I use ROM Manager to boot into CWM. the older version of CWM that is brought up when I do the 3 button boot doesn't work with CM7.. is that correct?
When trying to look for new ROMS on Rom Manager - it wants to install CWM, though I already have it, obviously.. I'd do it, but there is no option for the i500 Fascinate..
I'm so very confused.
I use rom manager to boot into recovery and I'm running CWM 4.0.1.0 (blue text) with no problems
I can vouch for not using RM on the Fascinate. I tried that, used it to flash CWM, everything seemed legit, though CWM didn't want to work right. I looked around, saw that RM is useless, and decided to use some other CWM file through Odin. Had a near-brick and had to restore everything from stock. Killed my sunday afternoon, that's for sure.
so i have put the amonRa recovery on my wifes phone but honestly it seems a bit outdated. i use CWM recovery on my phone and was just wondering if i can just replace it by installing the CWM recovery via Rom Manager from CWM
thx

Why didn't you root using CF-Root or Siyah or SpeedMod, or any other custom Kernel that just comes with CWM recovery?
Don't use Rom Manager & CW Recovery together. Rom Manager tends to break CW Recovery/cause bootloops if you have both installed so use one or t'other.

I can't seem to get Clockwork installed why I used Rom Manager in the first place, Never had an issue with it on any other device.
Just seemed easier to use it to flash recovery and then flash whatever rom I damn well pleased.

Your choice f around with an app that is known to have SGS2 problems or flash a rooted CWM kernel that works .
jje
Siyah is good if you use gingerbread, great battery life, lots of kernel modules integrated (cifs, tun, etc.) DO NOT use Siyah with ICS based roms.
Yet another useless thread on a subject that has been discussed more times than anybody cares to remember. A quick and simple search would have given you the answer to your question.

OK, I've looked just about EVERYWHERE and I can't find an answer to this. I even posted on Koushid Dutta's Google+ page but I haven't gotten a response.
I've got an SGS2 on Bell Canada. I'm running Resurrection Remix ICS Rom 9.7. I cannot for the life of me get CWM TOUCH recovery to install on the device. It always defaults to either the stock recovery or the basic CWM recovery. I've tried installing it through ROM Manager. The app says that CWM Touch Recovery has "been successfully flashed." But, alas, when I reboot into recovery, it's either the stock recovery or the basic CWMR. So, then I searched for and found a flashable zip file for CWM Touch Recovery to be flashed in CWM. It flashed beautifully with no errors. But, again, the Touch Recovery was nowhere to be found and it was just the plain old CWM non-touch recovery.
Please help! Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Just try the new alpha Siyah kernel, touch recovery included! Done!!

Don't use Rom Manager to flash recovery if you've installed the touch recovery. It will just soft brick your phone and send you into infinte bootloop. Once you flash just use Chainfire's CWM. It should work fine
If you have a question why would you post it in the development section? It doesn't make sense when there is a dedicated Q&A sectio
Yesterday I flashed my SGS2 to CM9 and MIUI v4. After flasinhg this ROMs I flashed touch recovery from CWM Recovery Mod (install zip from sdcard).
Install this zip from recovery mode.

It's a question about development and use of CWMR. It's not a basic question like, "how do I darken my screen?"

Again, it doesn't work. I just flashed the touch recovery zip file from within CWM, rebooted, and then booted into recovery using Chainfire, which is what I usually do anyway. I've still got CWM-Based recovery v5.0.2.7. :-(

TBH I'm a bit surprised that this thread is still here. And while I understand your frustration, there simply one thing you've misunderstood.
UNLIKE your Xoom / GNexus...
The kernel and recovery are 'linked' in SGS2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246131
So, unless the kernel you are trying to use actually includes a touch based recovery - and it seems that the latest SiyahKernel which does support the ICS LPQ build now - you can't flash a separate recovery alone.
So you are...um... were, out of luck I guess (assuming that the new SiyahKernel does included a touch based CWM).
Mods, please remove this thread out of the dev section please. Thank you.
Thanks folks for all your help. The Siyah kernel alpha works and has created the Touch recovery. It appears to be a modified version of the touch with arrows and buttons on the bottom, but it's still better than using the rocker. THANKS!
