Hey guys,
I followed this post to install the ClockworkMod Recovery on my O1. I after installed mik_os's rom from here.
Everything works just fine, however I have some doubts:
1. When I open Rom Manager from the menu, it tells me that CloclworkMod Recovery is NOT installed! Why? I can start the recovery by pressing home+power+vol_down but I can't use the Rom Manager. Is this because there is no official port of Rom Manager for O1?
2. Is there something I can do make the Rom Manager work as for my N1?
Thank you very much for your kind attention
Regards
ilcontegis
anyone?
I think that the problem is precisely because ROM Manager hasn't been ported over to the Optimus One (yet). The port of Clockwork recovery is still fairly recent and my guess is that ROM manager just isn't set up to recognize the O1 version of clockwork recovery.

I see, thank you.
This means that with time there is a good possibiliy that it will be ported. Nice
hi there,
i got problmes installing the CM7 nightly.
at this moment im using SGS2 stock ROM rooted via ODIN (with CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE7-v4.0-CWM4.tar) that finally brings me root and the CWN Manager v.180.
At this moment i flashed twice GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.0.tar via Odin. (released here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 via codeworkx)
I've upgraded to Rom Manager Premium and hit Flash ClockwordMod (sure i hit the Galaxy S2)
If i restart via Rom Manager into Recovery System a triangle appears, pushing the power button long enough is brings me to "Clockwork Recovery V 4.0.1.0"..
After a reboot back in the StockROM it says inside the Rom Manager "Current Rec. Sys. : ClockworkMod 4.0.0.2
if i choose Download ROM there are no Nightly CM7 Builds. (i think because of Clockwork Recov. 4.0.0.2...)
Sure if checked "Advanced Mode" inside the Rom Manager Options.
what made i wrong?
excuse my (maybe) stupid question and thank you for helping me in advance
Greetings, cvoid
in addition:
i try to install something from the extra section of Rom Manager it reboots and the triangle of hell is back...
1)Go To The Cyanogen thread and download the release over there.
2)format data, /system, /data, everything but leave out /sdcard
3)#optional - you can flash back to cwm 4.0.1.0 if you like. (reboot to download mode)
4)mount usb from recovery.
5)move the zip (cyanogen installation file) to your phone's root via usb.
6)select install from zip
7)reboot after install.
There you go, you now have the perfect running cyanogen 7.
ok, will try it later. But, cirrect me if i am wrong, shouldn't i be able to choose the nightlys from inside rom manager?
And why isn't recovery bootin if i start it right out of the rom manager? (the triangle, see above)
Thank you so far

I dont think there is any cm7 nightlys for s2. so you'll have to do it manually.
i think it might be that you are having a 4.0.1.0 recovery and the rom manager is trying to boot with 4.0.0.2 recovery.
im running 4.0.1.0 (codeworkx kernel)...
thought of rom manager premium because atinm mentioned it that way...
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112916

will try to flash it manually... thank you for your help!
Hi guys
so after some days of trolling the forums looking for an answer i am finally creating a thread.
I rooted my galaxy s2 using oneclick than i wanted to install CWM.
couldnt do it from rom manager so i flashed Cf-root.
chainfire says that rom manager is not compatible with CWM yet cynagen mod7 for galaxy s2 says you can install the ROM from rom manager premium.
Than there is this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
where people who have flashed the kernal say that some of them could use rom manager
so can you use Rom manager if you have flashed a CWM kernal other than CF-Root?
it didnt work for me using rom manger + chainfire's kernel + flashing back stock kernel
after installing cm with rom manger i only got into android recovery which gave me "signature something failure"
i reflashed chainfire kernel (dunno if that helped)
used cwm to flash cyanogen
profit
how is cynagen doing for you so far?
for users using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
can you guys use rom manager?
100view but only 1 reply
Download the cm7 nightly zip, put it in your internal sd card, flash codeworx's kernel, flash the cm7 zip from the recovery, flash it under install zip from sd card, if the sig verification fails you may have a bad download.
If you get stuck at the boot screen flash the zip twice

yes, you can use rom manager with CM7 (cm7 uses codeworkx kernel with cwm 4.0.1.x), works perfectly.
that answers my unasked question that if CM7 has CWM thanks guys gonna flash tomorrow maybe
i can confirm that rom manager works with the kernel i posted above
you can flash the kernel using the CWM manager and than use rom manager
Hi everyone. I'm running Galaxy Ace, stock ROM Android 2.3.4
Never flashed a custom ROM before, so be gentle.
Phone already rooted (I have the superuser icon)
From reading threads here at xda, I have download these 3:
1. ClockWorkModAce.zip
2. recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip
3. GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.0.2.tar
I'm guessing number 3 is not for galaxy ace, right? So that leaves 1 and 2.
QUESTIONS:
1. Are 1 and 2 essentially the same thing? Which do you suggest I use?
2. These two files are on my laptop. Should I simply copy either one of them to my phone's sd card, turn off phone, boot into recovery by pressing home and power button simultaneously, select "Apply update from sd card", then select either ClockWorkModAce.zip or recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip?
3. After installing either of the two files, and rebooting, would "nandroid" be on my phone then?
4. I believe nandroid backs up EVERYTHING into sd card (recovery image, right?). Can I then copy it to my thumb drive or laptop so I can erase it from the sd card?
5. If I want to get back to my stock ROM, is it done by booting into the custom recovery (like the clockworkmod) and selecting an option there?
6. After going back to stock ROM, how would I go back to stock recovery too?
7. For clarification, when you guys are saying cwm or clockworkmod, do you mean ROM Manager? Because a lot of guys are warning me against it! I just found out clockworkmod is the name of the developer, not the app.
8. From the ROM Manager page at market.android.com ,
Samsung users: You must flash a Clockwork compatible kernel first (see XDA forums)
Is this really necessary?? So much prerequisites! =P
9. Should I install ICS Beta Full on my Galaxy Ace Android 2.3.4???
10. Already rooted, so how much time will it take from installing cwm to installing the custom ROM? I want to know so I won't panic
11. If I install cwm, does the recovery automatically becomes the custom recovery?
12. What does a full wipe mean and do I do it with the stock recovery or with the custom recovery?
Please be as detailed as possible, and use small words.
Appreciate it guys!
Thanks a lot!
first zip is for cwm4 official one
second is cwm5.. i personally prefer cwm4 as had no problems with it
cwm5 failed to take backup when i tried to several times
and i have flashed all roms that claims to do it with cwm5 with cwm4 with no problems at all
you can copy backup images to laptop but DO NOT modify names of any folder as it will result in mismatch of md5 so copy directly folder as it is without modification
ROM MANAGER IS ***** DO NOT INSTALL ON SGA or else you loose your device damn
you can flash it on stock kernel as well
if you want to go back to stock rom from restoring backup then your backup must be taken after converting filesystem to ext4 or else it will fail..
so before backing up flash cf-root and convert fs to ext4 to save time of flashing stock from odin and then restoring backups
thats your option to install cm9 on phone as its not stable and needs many changes at this time.. if you are ok with bugs then you can
1. yes u should delete it. judging by the name its for sgs2, would brick ur phone instantly if flashing that one.
2. i dont really sure about cwm 5.0.2.6 (ur second file) either it can be flash from stock recovery or not but the cwm 4.0.0.6 (ur 1st file) definitely can. and i think its "install zip from sdcard" in stock recovery to flash it.
3. yes.
4. yes, its located in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.
5. yes.
6. by flashing stock rom via odin.
7. nope. here if we said cwm or clockworkmod, its referring to the recovery itself (clockworkmod recovery). rom manager is different thing, a tool used to flash cwm or rom. and yes, u should avoid it as countless sga already bricked because of it. and yes, clockworkmod is nickname of the guy who created it and named it as clockworkmod recovery, and here we just called it cwm.
8. again, avoid using rom manager
and u probably wanna read this
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-clockworkmod-recovery-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/
1.First one is official CWM recovery..Its v4..Second one is unofficial CWM recovery..Its v5..I didnt have any problem with them both..But,you should not rename the backups you take with cwm5,it will give you a md5 mismatch error when you do that..
2.Yes..Just copy the file to the sd card
3.Nandroid is a feature of CWM...So,yes.When you flash cwm,you get Nandroid backup
4.Yes...It backsup everything on your phone.But as amit said,Dont rename them
5.By stock,if what you mean is,an untouched Firmware,like the one you got from the factory..Yes..But if you are going to flash any roms,it may convert the system partition to ext4,which will result in a bootloop if you try to restore the stock you have now.So,a better option will be to flash with Odin
6.If you go back to stock,you would still have cwm as your recovery..If you want your stock recovery back,you will have to do a flash with Odin(But,trust me,You will never feel to go back to a complete stock rom and the stock recovery after you start playing around with the other cm7 roms
7.CWM is a recovery..ROM Manager is an application..ClockWorkMod recovery is not a developer..Koushik Dutta is the developer of both CWM recovery and Rom Manager..If you have any thought about using ROM manager,then i suggest that you clean that thought because ROM manager does NOT support Galaxy Ace and if you use ROM manager to flash a rom,you are going to BRICK your device
8.Nothing like that,from what i know.I never flashed any kernel Right after i rooted my ace,i flashed cwm recovery..I didnt do anything else
9.Its your choice..The Myth Ics is an awesome rom
phew....

about number 5 and using odin in general
Hi. Thanks a lot guys for your effort in helping out a newbie.
I'm a bit confused about using odin. Is odin like the "safer" way to flash ROMs?
I know I can flash a ROM via booting into recovery, then "install update from sd card", and selecting the ROM. Does Odin do the same thing? When exactly should Odin be used? Only when I want to go back to my original stock firmware AND the original/stock recovery?
Thanks!
As far I know, ODIN is only for flashing stock ROM's.
And well, even if it can be used to flash custom rom's,please do not use it. ODIN can brick your phone. Flashing via recovery is the most safest way
further clarification
Hey guys, thanks a lot. Please clear these up for me:
1. If I am now on stock ROM (never flashed a custom ROM before), then I flash a custom ROM like TheMyth ICS Beta 2 Full, and wish to go back to my stock ROM (which was backed up with clockworkmod recovery), do I simply boot into cwm recovery and restore the stock ROM or do I use Odin?
2. If I am now on stock ROM (never flashed a custom ROM before), then I flash a custom ROM like TheMyth ICS Beta 2 Full, and wish to try another custom ROM like cyanogenMod, should I just flash cyanogenMod with cwm recovery? Meaning, from TheMyth ICS Beta 2 Full straight to CyanogenMod via cwm recovery? Or do I have to go back to stock ROM, as well as stock recovery, by using Odin, and then flash cyangogenMod via stock recovery?
3. If I am now on stock ROM and wish to upgrade to an official android version thru samfirmware.com, do I simply flash it with the stock recovery or do I have to use Odin?
Thanks a lot guys!
1- yes
2- yes, straight away. no need to go to stock rom
3- odin
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.
