Sprint Galaxy s2 i9000. Rooted it this afternoon and installed wrong version of Clockwork Mod Recovery. Did factory reset from Samsung menu, which trapped me in bootloop hell for a couple hours. Fixed that. Re-rooted device and re-installed Clockwork Mod. I get the yellow triangle. Rom Manager now tells me that I last flashed Clockwork Mod 2.5.1.2. Have uninstalled and reinstalled both Rom Manager and Superuser and done date wipes in application menu. ROM Manager can't find Superuser. Would like to get a ROM to work, at some point.
Cheers,
Mike
You do not need rom manger to make a rom work.
cwm has most of the functions of Rom Manager, which rom are you interested in.
The best advice for you right now is to sow down, do some reading, and go to the correct forum, I believe there is Sprint forum, flashing certain things is device specific and you have already made a wrong step being in the international Galaxy S2 forum instead of the Sprint SGS2 forum

So basically what happened here was things went wrong. And I accidently Unrooted my phone The Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant
Which is running GingerR2 on 2.2 I want to install another rom, but can't
I do have Clockworkmod recovery installed I got this phone second-handed so from what I tried there doesn't seem to be a backup
Is there a way to do this or instructions I can follow?
I have searched the forums and can't find anything really related to this and if there was something I apologize for not noticing.
Have tried Z4root it just closed itself after a certain period and phone didn't restart
Tried one click root
Even the option in the recovering for running the SD card won't root it
Thank you kindly for your answer
Just download the cw recovery update.zip and flash it in normal recovery (reinstall packages) twice on the second reinstall it will put u in cw recovery (green font) use it to flash a new rom because they all come rooted.
Any more questions email me cuz I don't get here too much anymore. I will PM u my email
Use AIO Vibrant tools on development area. Its a good tool, It does all you need on ur vibrant including rooting. That's what I am using.

Hey all,
I'm very new to Cyanogen, so sorry if this is a very n00b question.
The ROM Manager doesn't appear to work. It keeps telling me I'm not running ClockWorkMod recovery, and cannot connect to the web to download. I purchased the premium version thinking it would solve this (as well as to support the dev), but no luck. Is it just an issue with the nightlies not capable of handling ROM manager yet, or is it a setting of some sort that I'm neglecting? It's not a huge deal, but it looks like such a nice, simple way to stay up-to-date with the nightly builds as opposed to updating through CWM, wiping, etc.
I saw a post mentioning to go into developer tools and enable root access. The closest I found was in settings and I allowed apps and ADB root access, but this didn't help.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
I'm a bit confused, Why do you require ROM manager? The CWM that is built in with the ICS Kang releases should be doing everything that is required, then again, your reply would matter.
I think I am having the same issue. When I try to Flash ClockworkMod Touch in Rom Manager it keeps telling me I need to first install ClockworkMod Recovery even though I have Recovery 5.5.0.4 currently installed. It did the same thing when I had Recovery 4.0.0.4 installed.
I even tried to "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" (First option in ROM Manager) and it does nothing.
Any ideas?
BEcause the same menu is in the CWM recovery lol
I'm following one of the threads that updates the kang build every 3 days, and as opposed to having to boot through CWM, wipe, install, then re-install apps and replace widgets, I thought I could update through ROM Manager instead.
It sounds like Sn0warmy and I are having similar issues.
From what I've heard the ROM Manager doesn't really work for the tab yet. If you want to update without replacing all your apps you can just flash the zip file in CWM without doing a wipe. If it causes problems then you could do a wipe & reflash afterwards.

ROM manager works but it's wonky on the ICS kangs. It doesn't do anything that you can't already do in recovery, so there's no real advantage anyways. Oh, and don't use ROM manager to install a new recovery, and CWR touch doesn't work for the GT10.
^You saved me the trouble of insisting Why thank you good sir.
Thanks for the replies. I'll keep updating through CWM.
Coffeebeans, obviously I'm following your thread (thanks for the good work!) and I tried flashing over once but I got a ton of process media FCs so I figured wiping was the best way to go and have done so ever since. Probably should invest in titanium backup at this point so I don't have to reinstall from market everytime I wipe.
Thanks again for the help y'all.
It worked once with 4/17 build of CM9. After that, it has never worked again. It boots into recovery and pretends its flashing, but stops half a second later and restarts.
Something odd happened today when I tried to update. It rebooted and phone locked up and screen went black. I took out the battery and put it back in then held up and power to go into CWM. All of a sudden Rom Manager took over and flashed the rom as well as the additional zips successfully and rebooted. Everything works.
CWM tries to flash from /emmc. Rom Manager tries to flash from /sdcard and fails. It may be due to the swapped mount points on CM9. in CWM they are still swapped, even if you check the use internal storage box and everything shows up properly in CM9.
Hey Everyone,
I put my phone back to stock for a while and before I was on Froyo. Now I am having problems with trying to get CWM/Rom Manager on my phone. I have followed the steps to get it rooted (I have SuperUser) but when I do into Rom Manager, the two options I get are Galaxy i9000 and Epic 4G. Is it me or did I do something wrong?
Rom Manager will flash either one just fine, but then when I try to do I backup I get denied with the {Triangle !} and back to square one. I have to ReOdin the CWM-ALL file to get a backup running, and then Rom Manager stops recognizing it. Haaaalllpppp please?
I won't even start asking any other questions until this one is answered
rom manager is worthless for the fascinate...especially when running a touchwiz rom. manually flash cwm2.5 via odin. look up my guide in the general section.
Hey guys,
I just installed Rom Manager and wanted to try out to make a backup of my current Rom. The Rom Manager asked me if I wanted to Install Clock Mod Recovery, which was kind of strange since I thought I had it installed with the Siyah Kernel 3.3.3d but I proceeded and installed it, and after that it asked my Galaxy Model, I picked Galaxy SII of course and then it rebooted. However after the Galaxy SII Logo (With the yellow Triangle) nothing happened. Black Screen. So I tried to go into Recovery Mode. Doesn`t work either. Normal Boot also doesn`t work any more.
Download Mode is working however.
So I thought to try to flash the Siyah Kernel trough Odin to get it to work the way it was. Should I flash the Kernel or try to flash a normal Firmware through Odin?
Any advice on how to proceed?
Flash the kernel first. Hopefully that fixes things. If it doesn't work, then back to stock, re-root your phone & restore a backup/flash whatever rom you want to use.
Don't use Rom Manager on a phone that has CWM/Recovery installed, it's not uncommon for Rom Manager to break CWM and/or cause bootloops (as you've discovered). I'd freeze/uninstall Rom Manager if you're using a kernel that has CWM/Recovery.

Flashing the Kernel didn`t work, same as before
Going back to Stock ICS Samsung Firmware now and will apply root afterwards. I Just hope that works and that I didn`t brick my phone.
You should be fine, I can't recall seeing any instances of Rom Manager bricking a phone outright when this happens. It's just really annoying that you have to go back to stock/re-root/restore backup/etc. Happened to me when I tried Rom Manager out not long after I got my phone when I was running Miui GB. Pain in the neck but I'd be surprised if you can't fix it ;-)

Ok everything works now again, thanks for the support
Installed Stock ICS 4.0.3 Firmware but then I got stuck at the Galaxy SII Bootanimation.
Then I flashed Chainfire Kernel and got into CWM and then without a full wipe just installed my old rom and it worked. All apps are still there.
One thing I know for sure though, I will never use Rom Manager again
Good news. Not losing your apps & so on certainly saves you a fair bit of time. No probs, happy to help. Yeah, use CWM/Recovery to do all your flashing/backups/restores/etc instead of Rom Manager. Main thing is you recovered fairly easily ;-)
I'd like to start this thread in establishing that I am not familiar with how all this works, nor do I have any idea how to fix it, which is why I'm here. I only know the system info, such as version, firmware, etc.
In attempting to add cyanogen mod on my already previously rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 gt-p3113, I watched a video that directed me to install clockwork recovery and root in a single bundle using Odin, (which I successfully did). I then proceeded to install cyanogen mod while in clockwork recovery, which it then told me to factory reset wipe all data before doing so. After going to the "main page" of CWM and resetting the device like it told me, I then went back to install cyanogen mod, only to have it tell me that CWM is out of date. I tried rebooting the device, but it would take me back to CWM, which im assuming means I deleted to OS on accident.
After all that, I finally concluded I'm stuck on an old version of Clockwork Recovery with no OS installed. I can access download mode, however when I'm not in download mode the device automatically boots up to the old version of clockwork mod, and I'm stuck there.
As I have no idea how all this stuff works and did pretty much everything from a YouTube video, I'm hoping a more experienced developer can help fix the problem and somehow help me regain use of my tablet. At this point I don't care whether I can get cyanogen mod installed or not, and I would appreciate all the help I can get.
Thanks

Well, I would say that may be a bigger problem ! Now what I think better for you would be trying to flash the stock ROM over to the device again I am sure you have your hands over the flashing. So head over to the sammobile/firmware section and try getting the stock ROM downloaded and flash it over your device.
