Anyone have Rom Manager working properly? It seems that when I try to load a rom through the app it reboots and does nothing then I have to manually load recovery and then flash.
I have tried to reinstall a few times & it ends with the same result..
rom manager hasnt worked properly on any of the galaxy s phones....dont use it. CWM is where you want to load roms from

How long have you waited once it gets "stuck at 20%"?

It's not an odd reason...It's because CM7 has bootstrapper in it and when you overwrite it you mess up the boot proccess by over writing 2nd Init needed to run CM!
Ah that explains it .. even before cm7 cmw froze on me so i used the droid x boot strap to install roms...
I have already flashed CWM through Odin quite a time back. Now when I want to flash CWM using ROM Manager, the flash isn't taking place.
I downloaded the ROM Manager (free version) from the Play Store and tried flashing CWM. Although the flash was shown to be successful, it gives an error every time i tried to back-up data.
Note: As the CWM flashed by the ROM Manager was useless, I tried flashing CWM as given in the website of CyanogenMod and although it wasn't successful, the earlier CWM surprisingly came back, after which I uninstalled the ROM Manager.

ROM manager sometimes give headache on SGS2, better idea to have CWM on SGS2 is flash a custom kernel
Yep Zacq is right. Use/install one or the other. Rom Manager & CWM on the same SGS2 can often cause problems; Rom Manager can cause bootloops & break CWRecovery.
I have previously installed custom ROMs before and have successfully been running wanamlite for several months, however, i tried to install CM11 today.
I installed CM10.2 first to get CWM 6.0.4 and then continued to flash CM11. It was successfully installed and booted fine but apps kept crashing such as the playstore. I decided to go back to my wanamlite backup so went back, cleared the caches and went to restore to find that it couldnt find any files. Now when i try to reboot i get the Cyanogen mod cymbol then it loads the background but with a message that reads "the process com.android.phone has stopped" and i cant do anything from there. It will still boot into recovery and download yet this happens everytime i try to boot the phone into the normal mode.
So what did I do wrong? Whats the extent of my problem? & does any bright soul know if and how i can fix it?
Thankyou everyone

With what recovery did you perform the backup? Maybe flashing that recovery will let you restore your backup.
All sorted now. I flashed the stock rom through odin and started again with the jeboo kernel and took extra care when flashing everything and now it's all working. KitKat-ed.
Missing some of the aspects of touchwiz a bit and i got a lower score on antutu than with wanamlite but i'll stick with it for a big, if only for the bragging rights when i get back to work on Monday.
Hello, i will try to be thorough.
BUT, i am a noob and didnt write down everything i did.
Have a I717 at&t note 1. with the 4.1.2 update originally OTA installed by keis.
I recently rooted it using Saferoot. it went well and i didnt see any problems. i flashed a custom rom and didnt like it so using clockworkmod recovery i went back to the 4.1.2. I then tried pac lollipop >pac_quicyatt_lp.beta-1.unofficial_20150327< i liked this rom but needed to flash Gapps.
This is where the trouble started. i didnt/dont know the proper procedure to flash the Gapps on top of or into the rom.
I first tried >gapps-5.0.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip< and it looked like it loaded correctly. but nothing appeared in the phone. the pac rom was still working well.
I then did more research and tried >gapps-lp-20150222-signed.zip< , again it looked like it loaded well but nothing showed up "in" the phone.
right here is where things got screwy. i had been using clorkworkmod for recovery and rebooting. and i think somewhere in developer settings i clicked something about how rebooting is handled.
because after trying to install the Gapps it went into Cyanogen recovery... and loops.
no matter what i do it goes back to cyanogen recovery.
I never knowingly installed cyanogen and dont know why it all of a sudden is going into cyanogen recovery over and over.
a list of things that may have bearing:
1. i tried reinstalling the pac rom. it loads and completes but it still just goes to recovery.
2. tried different ways of clearing cache and data wipes.
3. computer, kies, and odin 3.09 do not recognize phone.
4. have proper drivers on computer. phone was previously recognized by kies and cpu (4.1.2).
5. currently the only way to get anything into phone is by pulling sd card and reinstalling with info on it then using cyanogen recovery.
6. i have searched for about 11 hours and tried a bunch of things. but just restarts in cyanogen recovery
7. i was scared to fully try things i found that wernt specifically for the i717.
8. i could not find an original gingerbread rom. they all seemed fishy (needed downloaders. or ended in .zip.rar)
9. had backed up with clockworkmod and with titanium recovery (while in 4.1.2).
I dont know if i can reach the clockworkmod save through cyanogen recovery.... if so it seems like a great option.
10. at the bottom of the screen while loading rom is.... ---->>> E: cannot load volume /misc
11. only pac rom will successfully re-flash (even though it still just goes back to cyanogen). any other flash and it crashes halfway through.... i then restart and it just loops back to cyanogen recovery.
I searched here and tried the five recommended posts.
I could not try a lot of the "fixes" because the phone isnt recognized by cpu or odin (computer does beep when connected but doesnt show up anywhere).
Can you help me get back my phone please?

i tried to install a new rom with the twrp recovery mod and before starting the process i unistalled twrp, the app from which i got the recovery mod. now when i started the process i factory reset the phone. afterwards when i tried to install the custom rom it said "No file_context" which meant it couldn't it because i unistalled the app. i rebooted my phone but it only boots on the custom recovery mode and at the moment i'm trying the download mode and praying for it to work. does anyone know any other ways to make it work?
