Just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 AT&T with the Zedomax Kernel and it also flashed Clockworkmod recovery. Everything went great. Can I update the recovery using rom manager? I ask this because the GS2 combines the kernel with the recovery I think and to use rom manager for anything you must flash the recovery from rom manager. Coming from HTC phones where this was never a problem. Just don't want to screw anything up.
Thanks for any help,
Vinny

The forum has been changed radically in the past couple of days, and I'm not sure if this is still evident to new users, but it used to be plastered all over the forum. DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER WITH THIS PHONE.
In particular, you can not install ClockworkMod Recovery from Rom Manager, as it will not work. You must use a ClockworkMod Recovery that is integrated into the kernel. I would suggest that you flash Entropy512's Daily Driver kernel.
It still is plastered.. why don't new people follow the etiquette of any one new to anything that they should read the FAQs!
As you can see by the amount of posts and years I have been a paid member I am no rookie. As for reading before asking, I did. I even went to the search section and asked without any luck so being a long time paid member I thought I could ask without getting my ass chewed out. If you see by my question I already flashed a kernel with CWmod recovery. I asked if I could use Rom Manager to update the Kernel.
Thanks for the help.

To be honest, I didn't even look over in the left column to see your post count before I posted my answer. (I usually do.) However, from the way you worded your question, it is obvious that you are new to this phone and the I-777 forums, even though you are not new to XDA. Over the previous months, there have been a large number of questions asked that are already answered if the person had just read a little first. And your question about ROM Manager, in one form or another, has been one of the chief offenders. You say, "As for reading before asking, I did." But go to the sticky post in this forum, (or the one in the General forum or the similar one in the development forum as they're all about the same) and click on the link that says FAQ topic. You'll see what I meant in my previous post.
Don't get bent out of shape over this. You're an experienced member who can pitch in and help other folks out, so when you come around the forums, do that. The moderators are just asking us all to be responsible.
As mentioned before do not use room manager to flash roms kernels or whatever.you can use it to download different roms but even those can be corrupted or not finished a many users saw with the CM9 build that was posted there.

Nevertheless, had you read the main (and now only) sticky in here or in General, you would know not to use RomManager on this phone and would not have had to ask.
And with that, topic closed.
Search more people... please! Use Google, use XDA.. but SEARCH. REad the FAQ's before posting.. it is FORUM RULES.

I managed to root my phone and install Rom manager from the marketplace so I could flash a stock 2.2 rom (instead of the 02 one I have)
But I cannot get it to boot into clockwork recovery or install from SD card.
any ideas?

Its 02, I installed Rom manager (previously clockwork mod). I successfully flashed the recovery but when It reboots it doesn't boot into recovery.
Flash THIS Recovery
Or THIS Recovery
And both will let you into recovery but you can only flash a custom rom with those recoverys
If you want to flash THE OFFICIAL 2.2 Then Flash THIS Recovery
Hope that helps
Edit: Ah posted at the same time.. will have a look and report back shortly, thanks!
EDIT 2: Ok, had a look.... how to I flash recovery's? ROM manager has the option to use different recovery greyed out? And there no way im doing that fastboot, takes far too long!
So have you figured out that ROM Manager doesn't work for the Streak?
Hmm... QDL and Fastboot seem to take a little less time than say AT&T OTA
Start Here:
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
What I missed ? Everytimes , I tries to flash a new rom on my Dell Streak , with Rom Manager , when I finished the step " reboot and install " , then my Streak simply rebooted and then no further action taken .
To everyone trying to use ROM Manager on the Streak:
STOP!
ROM Manager has never worked on the Streak and continuing to try to use it will only result in headaches on your part. The only accepted method of flashing a ROM on a Streak is through the Recovery. Speaking of the Recovery, it should NOT be Clockworkmod, because that recovery doesn't work properly with the Streak. Streakmod is the recommended recovery.
Now, had you ROM Manager guys actually searched the forums you would have found this out rather than posting yet another thread on how the app doesn't work.
Next time use the damn search engine on this site. It's not there just to make the site look pretty, and in using it you will in fact be following the site's rules.
Any questions?

you all over the place with this. You are my hero right now.
Sadly the folks will still post without searching.
Quite honestly, I have little enough patience for people as it is. People who seek the "quick fix" and are unwilling to put the time in to learn about their devices are annoying enough. Lazy ass people who can't be bothered to spend the time looking for answers to their questions before posting are a plague. Both deserve to be taken to the back of the tool shed and flogged.
I believe from now on, in addition to calling out people for being total idiots, I'll be reporting the posts as well. Because this bulls**t has got to stop. Searching before posting is the number one site rule on XDA, and it's about damn time it gets enforced. The only way for it to BE enforced is by letting the moderators know about it.

Post #2 is from the moderator, too often these threads get shuffled around and are not closed and/or deleted.
Yeah, I know Lufc moved the thread. He's pretty proactive on that. But unless people report the thread as violating the site rules he really can't do much about it.
I've been pretty lenient in just posting reminders to get the noobs and lazy people among us to actually use the tools that are present on this site. But my patience for that crap is at an end. If someone can't be bothered to use the search tools on this site, expect to be called out on it and the post reported.
EDIT: Looking back at the thread, can someone explain to me just how in the heck you can come upon a thread that details the problem you are having and not at least read the thread before you post to it?
I'm starting to notice a trend. I think that as our phones get older more people are ditching them, selling them, and the new owners are stumbling on XDA.
I know I was a total Android noob when I got my Streak, but had been on XDA for a while, so was well aware of the search function. Not to mention reading the stickies.
I think this is gonna keep getting worse!

Hello....
So i found a guy on craigslist to trade my Droid 2 for the Fasicnate, drove thirfty miles to his house and listend to him freak out for 35 mins as i explained the benifits of my droid 2 and it being rooted and he seriously begain hyperventelating because he was dead straight afraid of being arrested........ I was about to just.... i dont know, the word run came to mind... Anyway.
WHat a beautiful phone, i mean it you guys have got something here, and im glad i added this to my growing list of android device's this is my fifth since my first love The G1.
Anyways,
I presumed and though i could install Cyanogenmod on it that was the immediant reason i got it, i didnt do any reaseachr and now know that u can but it runs really ruff and isnt supported... so.
I modded via this cyanogen wiki
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Fascinate:_Rooting
i got all the way to the part about installing rom manager and flashing CWM,
However i went to do this (yes im rooted) and all i get is when i flash cwm and i try to reboot into cwm from rom manager to make a backup is i get to the samsung 2e recovery screen ..
A little more research i see something that i need to install or excuse me i need a program called odin, and i need the cwm packaged via this thread but the CWM package is no longer hosted...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
But, one im not completly sure that is what i need to do and two im seein what i think is a bunch of diff versions of baseband like D101 ect However i see on mine that the last of my baseband is Dh12 actually its all s:i500.04 v.dh12
SHould i be downgrading here? And its best to assume while i have rooted and taken the virginity of the G1, Eris, Droid, Droid 2 Droid X and now this beyond what i have described here is my limited experience with this phone.
Also bear in mind that this phone was factory reset when i got it, and was 100% virgin. It is now rooted but that is it. I really wanted to get back to "my roots" like my G1 and have a fully modable phone from kernal on up and was stoked to get this. But im lost and i cant seem to find much help else where, or what appears to be people telling me to reroot and i know that is incorrect.
Can you all point me in the right direction please!
My sincere apprecation and thanks for your help and acceptace of my sporatic typeing.

First, welcome to the Fascinate forums. Second, please try to faimilariaze yourself with the rules here. This thread should have gone in Q&A and you are quite likely to get flamed for it eventually.
As for your questoin-- We don't have a fully functioning AOSP, CM6, or 7 yet but what we have is pretty close.

I would strongly reccommebd flashing Nitro's Evil Fascination Froyo rom and perhaps one of his themes once you get that far. You won't regret it. Trust me.

Got all the links you could ever ask for from nitro. Just install Odin on your comp and install the Samsung drivers. Then just go to the link for the older cwm and d/l the necessary file.
Remove battery from the phone and while you're holding the volume down.button plug the phone into.your.computer. it'll show a yellow android and say downloading.
Click PDA and choose the file you downloaded for cwm 2.5 and click start. Once it.says pass on Odin you're done.
Even easier, get one of the packagaes from one of these threads it includes adryns froyo rom, the modem for.froyo and the recovery. I don't feel like finding the link but if you get that it's easy its just one big file that you flash with Odin (the same.way you do with cwm) and when its done you got a froyo fascinate with a solid touchwiz rom from adryn

Hey Mortland,
Welcome to these forums. I am still fairly new here at XDA. Just to clarify and help you understand what everyone was referring to. I believe if I read them correctly, the rules about the Development section say posts and especially new threads in the development section should be limited to things that are directly related to development of a ROM, kernel, or MOD. This is so the development forum is used for improvements to existing ROMs, kernels, or MODS, or development of new ROMS, kernels, or MODS so the developers doing this work do not have to wade through a laundry list of threads or non-development questions in order to get the information they need. So if you have questions about development, or want to report a bug or problem you have discovered with a ROM, kernel, or MOD, then you come here and post. If it is a question on how to install or use a ROM, kernel, or MOD, then I guess it is supposed to go over in the Q&A section. I know it can seem kind of confusing, so the only reason for me posting is to hopefully help clear up any of the confusion. Hope this has helped, and definitely follow nitrogliceryne's advice and help. Good luck.
Mods and devs,
Sorry if this long post has cluttered things up even more. Just trying to help.

Can't we just request that MOD move it to the Q&A section? Especially since some good links were posted there? No sense being a wanker about it, except that it can be fun if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
I know it makes all the "experienced" users feel good to bash every new guy that posts in the Development Thread but something really should have occurred to the community at large by now:
If this is happening something like 15 times per day, maybe the thread title should be renamed to Developers ONLY or Not for Q&A (or something like that)...although I'm kind of guessing that it's an auto-naming thing that they have set up for each new device that gets listed on the forums, so that might not be an option.
Usually I'm not very into getting threads moved when they're placed where they are but this thread is just straight ridiculous. Hyperventilating, seriously?
We need to have some sort of HTML implemented that allows any user to click the button and flag the thread for being moved. Not flagged for being inappropriate or reporting, just flagged for need of being moved to another section.

Hi all, oddly, I can't seem to find a clear answer to this from searching and Google. Does the SII have a separate recovery partition? I see chainfire has created a customised CWM to be deployed with his kernel, but I was puzzled by this as coming from a HTC world, I was wondering how CWM backups up the ROM partitions (or more importantly restores them) if they are in use.
TIA

no one?
I would also like to know how this works. Coming from 3 previous HTC phones and buying a SGS2 tomorrow, I wouldn't mind finding out how to root, nandroid and flash correctly.
I know all about Odin already.
Is this the only way?

I take it this was a reply to MrBadgerMilk's question? I've looked at the FAQ in the dev section and used search and can't see the answer to the question of whether the SII has a separate recovery partition. Hopefully the people that know (and some will) could just post a yes or no.
Right... http://bit.ly/SGS2answer
Now that's over, no, the SGS2 doesn't have a separate recovery partition. The zImage contains the recovery binary, and another init script is run, when recovery is to be entered, from the standard zImage.
Now that was the answer I was looking for. Thank you very much.
EDIT: Is the video some Samsung secret initiation ritual thing?

Lol...that's what I was thinking....but my opinion changed when you posted this.
ok well this is my first time trying to put install a custom rom on my phone but i just have a few questions. i have read all the stickies already but just need a little clarification. i havent quite decided on a rom yet but i know i want to try the siyah kernel. Do i install it through mobile odin?? and then do i do the same for the rom on my choosing?? im already rooted. and depending on the rom i choose, do i have to be on a specific firmware like on 2.3.4 or 2.3.6?? do i have to flash using mobile odin or cwm. i dont want to trip the flash counter. and last question i think, how do i get cwm, or is it already in the phone
First, please use more descriptive thread titles so people that actually search can find relevant info. This title is useless.
Second, all you asked about is covered in the FAQ and various stickies. You obviously did not read the one about not tripping the counter or you wouldn't have asked. CWM is included in almost every custom ROM and kernel. Reading would have told you that. I suggest you go back, read and forget flashing until you completely understand what you are doing. We are not here to bail you out of mistakes you make from not reading and understanding.

Don't ask, read. This is a self-service forum, not the Help Desk. No one in here is paid to give answers, that's why you need to find them for yourself and only ask when it is absolutely necessary. At this point, for you, it isn't as the answers are already here if you take the time to look.

The existence of Q&A does not relieve you of following forum rules, which clearly state not to start new threads without first searching and reading the stickies.

Firstly you probably want a kernel with CWM. Siyah & Entropy both have that. Flash it in Odin (This you will have to look at stickies for) and you will gain root/cwm. Then choose a rom that is safe, I would say anything in the dev section that says 2.3.4-2.3.6. You don't have to match your version to the ROM. With the zip you download, enter CWM mode (look at stickies) and flashing it in there. You will now have whatever kernel they use with that ROM.

I believe this thread has run its course....
As stated.. you can post in boards, but you only should do so AFTER searching/reading existing posts to see if your question is answered. There is no reason to make a whole new thread when there are plenty of guides and stickies out there with great info...
Thank You

1. Such a post does not belong in the development section.
2. Never ask if someone can develop a rom for your own needs.
3. Are you kidding? There are already several WIFI only roms available.

Ok Thank you,
1, I assumed development section could bring ideas for development, i apologize for posting in the wrong section
2. I am sure that I am not the only person who would be in this situation; (I would also be willing to compensate the person if I were the only person, never asked for anything free)
3. The rom that I did find that seemed to be what I was looking for says file not found on the download site, Which is about what every file I try downloading here today says, I assumed by the dates on age of the View there might not be anything currently avaiable.

I read the file hosting site for some of the dev's software here got wiped by accident. Hopefully most of it will be back up soon.

Which android version do you want to use?
If the download links do not work you have to report it within the respective thread.
I got what I need from xda member kevinrocksman. He helped me a lot.turns out a lot of the Roms on here are no longer supported. I am now on stock HC Rom with jmz kernal overcloked to 1800. And it works great.
I guess what I was looking for was a stock GB sence Rom that allowed the pen to work on everything. And remove everything from sprint. But I found that putting it in airplane mode does the same. I did compensate the member who helped me. Wasn't looking for a free handout.
