Okay, so, I just recently got a Vibrant, & I rooted it with Super One click. I'm trying to flash a custom rom, but, there was no "Rom manager" app to install my cwm recovery. I googled it, & I found a website, that had a link that was a flashable cwm. I flashed it already, & I have downloaded a custom rom. What to do now?

Rom Manager is no longer available in the Market for any phone running Eclair or under. What I did was Google a Rom Manager apk and got it that Way. After you use it and flash another Rom you can update it to the latest version. Good luck.

I have also tried that, there was no luck. All the websites that had it, the file was either corrupt, or they jst took it down
edit: nevermind, i have found one. thanks
edit again: the apk is still "Problem parsing the package"
Go to 4share.com and get the latest version.
There is still, a problem parsing the file. I have tried out 5 different Rom manager apk files. when i install a different APK file, it seems to work fine. I think it's just these files im downloading are no luck.
Go to the noob guide stickied in Q&A and pull the flashable off there. Usually it is downloadable from my signature but my Dropbox got flagged for 3 days bc of too many downloads. If you can wait until Tuesday it should be back up then.
go to 4shared and download a RM thats 6 months to a 1 year old....Don't DL a recent one
Use AIO Vibrant Tool which root, flash CMW with just one click.

Hi, I just got a hand me down samsung fascinate to replace my barely functioning OG Droid. I rooted it and installed rom manager and it kept failing the custom rom installation or any installation of anything from recovery manager. It kept saying the signature verification failed if I remember the error code correctly. That was with the 3e recovery software. I read a few posts that said the older 2e version would work better with rom manager.
So I used odin and reverted to an older software revision, 2.1-update1. That successfully shows 2e as the recovery manager version. But now the market doesn't show rom manager(free) as an install option, premium shows up though. If I use the web browser to look at the market and look for it it shows up but it shows four devices, my old droid, a nook I rooted and converted for a friend, and then two devices that just show a question mark and doesn't allow them to be selected for installation. I thought thats ok I'll just download it from clockwork mods website and install it manually. I downloaded it but astro opens it and shows no info, details tab says it cannot open RomManager.apk as APK file. If I open it with file manager it says it cannot parse package. I tried downloading it on my computer and transferring it to my phone and it still says the same thing.
So I'm really confused as to what is going on. I do have install non market stuff checked.
I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I want to install miui as that was what I ran on my droid and liked it. Want to see how it runs on a faster phone.
Thanks in advance hopefully I provided enough information and didn't miss something simple.
When you were on Froyo, did you install the modified 3e Recovery needed for CWM to stick? I'm sure this is your problem if you didnt take this step.
Here is a link to the thread with everything you will need. If you have additional problems, dont hesitate to ask!
Hope this helps!
BTW: 1. Dont worry about this being for the infuse. It will work fine & 2. These types of threads should go in the Q&A section, for future reference
Rom manager is pointless unless you run cm7 nightlies. Get the recovery fixed for cm7 (first post of jt's cm7 thread in development) put miui rom on sd. Pull batt, flash fixed cm7 recovery in odin, insert battery (don't boot), 3 finger to recovery and flash miui. Profit.
good day.
First thank you for the replies very appreciated.
Tone_Capone I was going to try your method first. You are correct when I was on the updated firmware I did not flash the "fixed" 3e recovery did not realize there was one. My question now is I'm currently at 2e recovery, on the older firmware. Can I still follow those directions and put the modified 3e recovery onto the phone how it is. Or does the modified file count on other files being in place that I don't have since I'm downgraded? Do I need to update it again? I hate to ask but I just want to make sure.
chopper the dog Sorry about wrong section, thought q and a would be for commonly asked questions and the answers for them. I was gonna try this method then but I'm not sure if I choose bootloader in odin or pda like I did when downgrading the firmware.

refer to section 3...just replace ics rom with miui... although honestly I would go with ics 4.0

thanks everyone, droidstyle I followed your links directions and miui is up and running. Very appreciated. I considered ics but I'll wait a while.

Hi people,
So I managed to root my Legend yesterday, and I am now eager to get Cyanogen on the phone. Here I thought "flashing a ROM" would be a walk in the park compared to the hell I've been through to successfully complete the rooting. Perhaps it is a walk in the park, but I'm not convinced - I'm confused :S
After spending ~5€ on ROM Manager Premium (which turns out to be nothing but a required licens in order to use the basic one), it seem like the free ROM Manager isn't compatible with Legend (??). After, slighly hysterical, reading through various threads regarding this, it seem like i might have to install Clockwork Mod Recovery manually...which seem a bit more complicated.
Is HTC Legend really incompatible with ROM Manager? When searching for ROM Manager at Android Market I can only see the premium version, the free version doesn't even display. I also tried to get it through AppBrain, but when installing it from there I receive error msg that the file doesn't exist.
Is it possible to install ROM Manager in any way? Perhaps my Legend needs some kind of update/configuration? I got the following software:
- Firmware version: 2.1
- Build number: 1.31.40~~~~
- Software number: 1.31.40~~~
====
If ROM Manager cannot be installed on my Legend. Does anyone have a proper guide on how to manually set up Clockwork Mod Recovery for Legend?
Thanks in advance
Hi byxl,
On a rooted Legend with firmware 2.2 (Froyo) the Rommanager works.
You can use the Clockwork Mod Recovery without Rommanager, just rename it to update.zip and start it via recovery. You can download it here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969076
I think, with Cyanogen you can install the Rommanager.
Good luck!
Hey alligator_asl & thanks for the answer,
How do I update my rooted HTC Legend to firmware 2.2? And once I have it, will I still be able to run Cyanogen from it? Is there any difference between firmware versions when it comes to possibilities with a rooted phone?
-->>why not add another bunch of newb questions when I'm at it;
---> Is there any way to loose my root access, other then if I'd unroot it? E.g. by upgrading to another firmware.
->> And am I able to flash my device to Cyanogen regardless of what Android version I'm running?
?
I had the same issue and could not find clockworkmod in the market. I found one off the web and installed using HTC sync.
Have a look at this thread. It has a link but I never used it so not sure if it works. If it dont then mail me and I will send u the file.

Hello byxl
when you have root, you dont need to update to 2.2 first, you can directly flash cyanogen, look here wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Legend:_Full_Update_Guide

Yes, if you run an official firmware update from your provider or if you flash an unrooted rom

The Cyanogenmod link isnt helpful. I get a "file not found" error when i try to flash image, despite having copied the file to the platform-tools folder.
Help !
Hey folks,
Thanks for the answers.
I managed to solve my issue by running a fake-flash update.zip and access clockwork mod recovery. From there I could flash cm7
If you experience similar issues, follow this very helpful guide:

Sorry for this questions but im looking for hours now here online cant find a fix
When the Canadian Notes are updated via OTA they have a a file that prevents the installation of a custom recovery. Check out this thread:

Hi, When I try to download Rom Manager from my phone, I can't find it anywhere on the android market at all. and when I go to the play store on my computer and download it to my phone it says it isn't compatible with this phone? I'm confused and don't know how to get it on here? I've already rooted the phone I just want to put a new rom on there. First time I've ever come across this issue with any phone. weird.
I have a nubia z7 with rom version 2.05 (Android 5 and Nubia UI 3), with google apps working without problems. Even youtube.
It took 3 days to figure out how to do it, without rooting the phone.
But some tools are needed...
I upgraded my phone rom (which came with version 2.26, a modified 1.26), put rom 2.02 then 2.03 and at last 2.05, which is the last one in nubia chinese site.
I used nubia rom updater, for the roms version 2.02 and 2.03 you have to decompress to each folder and point nubia updater to that folder.
The last one (version 2.05), i used option update of the phone.
Then uninstalled every chinese app. Downloaded gapps micro for android 5.0.1 and copy to the internal storage.
Then rebooted the phone with TWRP and installed the zip file. With TWRP root the phone, in advanced menu.
After that, i reboot into android system and made login into google play and updated everything.
It's a google phone now.
I think this should work for Nubia Z7 mini and Nubia Z7 Max
I hope this help someone

hi, i'm Senh0r. I had logged with an old account.
now you can uninstall all chinese apps ,that you don't want.
then copy file gapps to internal storage.
Check if you have port ADB selected, by inserting on dial number *#7678# , if not, select it.
Now run the TWRP, which is in chinese, when the menu show up, choose option 3 and wait for the phone reboot into TWRP.
When you enter in TWRP, on bottom of screen you can choose english language.
After that is only to install the zip file. don't check for signature.
Now it's only need to reboot phone.
To enter on TWRP you need always to run the program to reboot your phone.
Anything ask
greetings
Thanks for that. I got them installed but when I boot the phone I get a google services has stopped and the phone shuts down I'm
Not sure what I did wrong

having the same issue as helobot.
update to 2.05 no problem
But after installing gapps it crashes in the setup phase
any ideas ?
Did you rooted the phone before installing gapps by twrp?
Rooted from twrp, installed gapps, rebooted.
After a few minutes it started, google setup wizard.
It crashes with an exception.
Gonna give it a shot in a few
Call me an idiot, but I didn't make a backup of the delivered stock ROM KitKat 2.26.
Please have you guys an image? I am stuck for good.
And cleaned the cache and dalvik partition too? Mine its working with no problems.
Cleaned cache etc.
I could hit me for being so stupid to forget backing the original ROM up.
I can easily go to a stock Chinese ROM but at least a KitKat Google ROM would be nice.
Señor or anyone, can you provide a image of 2.26?
Unfortunately I didn't backup it either , but soon I will create a zip file with my Rom with Google apps installed.
I will check Nubia site for older roms too.
Getting the hands on an 1.26 is relatively easy, but the googlefied 2.26 seems to be rather hard to find ...

Hi, I have my phone with 2.26, I have rooted it with kingo, if you can provide me a custom recovery I can do a nandroid back up of complete rom.
Hi Steveyknoxville, Señor shared a custom recovery based on twrp and that works very well. I would really appreciate if you could provide us with the 2.26 ROM
The link is in the first posting of this thread.

Hi, I have read that senor twrp does not work on 4.4.2, are you confirming it does. My biggest question I need answered before I do anything is, if I install twrp how do I go back to stock recovery so I can do Ota updates to get to lollipop. Thanks.
Sorry but I can't confirm weather it fully works or not. I followed señor's guide and updated the phone. But if I recall the thread correctly from nubia cn forums the stock ROM should be a slightly modified twrp anyways.
Try just going into the recovery mode.
You should be able to backup the ROM.
Thanks for the invested time.
