Okay so to update to the new baseband, I installed the official 2.3.3 ROM. Then I rooted it succesfuly. Now I want to install a recovery, but it just refuses to install it via ROM Manager! It just says "An error has occured when flashing your recovery". If I click on Boot into Recovery, it just hard resets by phone.
How do I proceed? I want to install a different ROM.
Is your version of rom manager the latest? What version of cwm do you have? Are you sure you got it rooted? Superoneclick is the only easy way.

Unlockroot is easy
You can use lgdp thunder to creat recovery

Hi guys,
I just realized that I can't perform root now I have flashed. I tried rooting via fastboot but couldn't push the recovery image. Funny thing is that I already have amon_ra's installed (flashing custom rom) ... can I root or is it too late?

if you have already applied official 2.1 update than Answer is no ..
Can't root, Can't Load Recovery file, Can't install Custom ROM.
hello mate, I flashed a custom rom of 2.1 ... so it's not official 2.1..
If I hold home and power button, I can boot the recovery image... because I flashed it to load a custom rom. Still not possible? I am running chocolate eclair

What is your problem then? I don't really understand what your writing...
I assumed that gaining root access and flashing a custom rom were two different procedures to be done in that order... I didn't use ADB for anything... I just flashed a new rom using the guide.
How do I check then? Is rooting required to flash a custom ROM?
Please excuse my noobidity

the only thing required to flash a custom rom is a custom recovery (amon-ra) in order to flash a custom recovery you need root which is why root is required. hoever if you already have a custom recovery then no, root is not neccesary. just boot into recovery (home + power) and select "flash zip from sdcard" then select the zip containing the rom you want to install. I would reccomend villianrom 10.3 if you want a fast and stable 2.1 rom.
Villianrom 10.3 can be found here:http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=1002
ps: remember to always perform a nandroid backup before flashing custom roms. it is also highly recommended to wipe the data and dalvik-cache before flashing a new rom or restoring a nandroid backup.

Ok - I understand now.
Thanks so much for your input; I had done alot of reading about this but had conflicting ideas...
thank you mate
Hello,
I have just rooted my phone and am now attempting to get a custom recovery on it. After rooting, I downloaded rom manager and selected flash clockworkmod. A message came up and said it was successful, however when I try booting into recovery it goes to the stock android recovery. Any idea on what I am doing wrong would be helpful.
Thanks
Your problem is that you can't install CWM via ROM manager. The success message you saw was that it downloaded an update.zip file properly, nothing more. ROM Manger is also completely worthless for our phones.
How should I go about flashing clockwork then?

I just purchased a already rooted Vibrant with CM7ninstalled but I want to flash Project V ROM. I put the new ROM on the root of the sd card and boot in recovery both ways and after wiping and trying to install I get a message stating Amend Scripting. I do know how to flash ROMs being that I still have my G2 but this is my first Samsung and it's quite different any help would be GREAT!
Odin back to stock then root then flash clockwork recovery then install rom

First of all im a noob so please bear with me, i have just bought my I9300 and i wanted it rooted like everyone else, i followed the steps, everything was sunshine and rainbows, the intallation was succesful and my device was rooted until i intalled rom manager and it intalled his own recovery and it is not working properly, now i want to get ride of that and intall one that works. PLEASE HELP, i dont want to brick my device.
When you installed rom manager it installed clockwork mod. (cwm)
You use this recovery instead from now on.
You can backup your rom or flash a new one or flash a modem or kernel..
There are loads of guides on this check one out if your not sure what to do..
Good luck

Hi just a quick question.I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 on Sasktel Carrier (Canadian), model mumber: SGH-I747M and i cannot boot CWM Recovery. I have deleted the two /system/ files that some advised to do and i know i am rooted because i have SuperRoot but I still cannot boot it. So im wondering how i could boot CWM Recovery (Keep in mind im a pretty new to this stuff). Is it possible to root my phone more than once without bricking my phone?
i followed this video to root my phone and i was wondering if i could go through the steps again and try to reach the CWM recovery mode that way or would that brick my phone?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
You have to flash the recovery to boot into it

If I were to follow the instructions from your link could it brick my phone? I've already rooted my phone. Or is this just putting the recovery into my phone? Thanks for the help!

If you follow the procedure in the guide there is minimal risk of bricking your phone, and fortunately in the unlikely event something does go wrong most of the time you can use Odin to fix any mistakes. This procedure will just flash Clockworkmod Recovery and will not effect root access on your phone.

or just download Rom Manager from the play store and flash recovery that way.
1. Open Rom Manager and tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option in the app.
2. You’ll be asked to select your device, select your device name.
3. As soon as you select the model, it should begin installing the recovery.
4. When it has done installing the recovery, you will get a message for the same on your screen.
*NOTE: I do not recommend Rom Manager as a tool to do anything but just install and update ClockworkMod Recovery. Do not flash ROMs from Rom Manager.
I've heard rom manager is a great way to install custom roms. How would you recommend to install custom roms? Through cwm recovery? I cannot install it through rom manager because it says recovery setup instead of flash and when I do try it says i747m isn't supported

The problem with ROM Manger is that on newer devices it can brick your device if you use it to install custom ROMs or try to use it to flash a recovery image even if it is a device that has official Clockworkmod Recovery support. I would recommend either using Clockworkmod Recovery or Team Win Recovery Project to install custom ROMs.
