Is there any issues with updating twrp through Goo? I only ask because it took so many attempts to get recovery to stick originally. Same question goes for CMW using Rom Manager. Thanks in advance.

I see it has an image available under goo manager for our phone. Its the same version as the one in the Dev section so Id say its ok. You should double check in the twrp thread though just to be safe.

I wanna use the download feature on the rom manager app, but whenever I select "download rom" from within the rom maager app, it says I must install the cwm recovery. The thing is, I'm already using it, I guess the app just doesn't recognize that. Is it safe for me to continue and install the recovery (considering I'm already running it) or should I not, and forget about the app and the download feature altogether?

From what I understand and read, don't use rom manager with the Samsung Galaxy.

I'm pretty sure you still have to flash clockworkmod recovery from within RM first before you use it to flash ROMs. But.. I don't think any ROMs are available in ROM Manager other than CM7

Not true at all. In fact some Devs are recommending RM as an easier way to install their ROM.

Which devs? Not the ones on the SGS2 forums here. I believe every single one of them has advised AGAINST using Rom Manager to install anything. Use CWM recovery directly on the phone. Many people have reported problems trying to use RM. And since you are having a problem with it yourself....
Only very recently over the past day or so has ROM Manager become usable. CM7 is one of the ones that the dev is recommending to use it but up until just recently, it's been highly suggested to avoid using it at all costs.
I believe you can -download- roms off of RomManager. However, installing CWM from RomManager is not recommended, because it will cause an invalid signature error. Still flash CWM using the kernel found in the dev section.

Taken from the OP:
atinm said:
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Galaxy S2 (or coming from another ROM)?
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest)
- Upgrading from earlier CM7?
ROM Manager method:
Install ROMManager Premium.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Pick Samsung AT&T Galaxy S2.
Choose Download ROMs.
Pick the CyanogenMod Nightlies.
Check the Google Apps addon.
Check Backup current ROM!
Check wipe cache, dalvik cache.
Let ROMManager finish the installation.
Q: How do I go back to a Samsung stock ROM?
A: Just use ClockworkMod or ROM Manager backup/restore facility to go back and forth between stock (or any other ROM) and CM7.
Q: Can I use ROM Manager to install or back up this ROM?
A: Yes.

Phonic, not sure who your refering to when ypu say "every single dev".. there are only a couple.for SGSII- designgears for Cog and Atin for CM, and he already recommended RM so that leaves designgears as "every single dev" and I never said I was having an problem. I also mentioned in my post that CM7 was the only ROM that was available in RM for SGSII. As far as the other comment saying RM shouldn't be used for Galaxy s I guess I dont understand why. I've used it a lot before for CM7 and MiUi.. and now there are more ROMs available (SGSI)
Guys I wouldn't have posted this unless I knew for sure ROM Manager worked and has been used and also mentioned as a method to flashing. Its not fair to the developer for users to go around saying something doesn't work or is highly advised against using when that's not the case at all.
..just saying

I agree with what he said. I used rom manager to flash cwm after rooting and messed up my cwm. I had to reinstall stock rom and root again to fix it. since then I've read the development section not to use the rom manager.

It may have something to do with the recovery verification. This was posted above:

I was just making a point that RM can be used and IS recommended as an easier method for flashing a ROM. It seems there is an issue with flashing recovery with RM... hmm looking in to it.

This was my experience. I just rooted my s2 and installed CWM through rom manager and I received the invalid signature error . . . what is the best way to fix this?

Right now it looks like the best way to get CWM on your phone is by flashing a kernel with it. Check the Development section. Should be near the top!

I tried flashing a couple ROMs but none of them would get more than about sixty percent done before they stop making any progress. I literally had one trying to flash for over six hours. I am s on, with twrp 2.1.8. I was trying to flash mean bean from cm10. I realize that I would have to flash the kernel separately but I could not flash the cm Rom either. I ended up having to restore my nandroid.Any ideas?

You have to update your TWRP. That version is so out of date no rom will install with it. The latest version is 2.4.4. Either download it from the teamwin site or install goo manager from the play store and let it update the recovery.

2.4.4.0 will only work if he's on the latest OTA full firmware including touch panel drivers
If he is not I suggest 2.3.1.0
Can I use goo manager to get an updated version but not the newest? I am not on the latest ota

I don't think so but if you download this there are a few different versions inside as well as instructions on how to fastboot flash
Sorry to necro this, but I haven't been in a position to answer until now. The link you sent me is no longer available. So I am wondering if I can grab the 2.3.1.0 from This repository? and will this video be the correct way to do the fastboot to update my recovery?

Yeah, that repo is good. As for vid, didn't have time but would guess yes. If you want confirmation, check YouTube for vids by qbking77 about flashing recovery on galaxy nexus, it's a great tut for setting up adb and fastboot.

So the 2.3.1.0 version would be okay for me as far as being able to flash? I am not sure which one would be okay as far as what OTA I would have
Also video tuts show that I should fast boot with "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Since I am doing the recovery.img I should be able to instead type "fastboot flash boot recovery.img"?

If you have the latest OTA (software version 3.16) and newest firmware you need TWRP 2.4+. Otherwise 2.3.1.0. is fine. As for your second question, you are correct. I normally will rename the recovery file 'twrp', so I use the command 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'.

Hi guys I am new here and just wantrd so advice. After the recent update I was able to keep root and I have been trying to install twrp via goo manager and it goes into odin mode whenever I reboot to recover. Goo downloads the file and says it was successful, but like I said when in reboot it only goes to odin mode. Any help would be fantastic. Thanks!

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do. The reason you cannot boot into twrp is because you CANNOT install a custom recovery on the new ME7 update. Even with root, if you search, you will see this covered plenty already.
You are now stuck with the stock rom.
I had read quite a bit but from what I'd read people were all losing root and bootloader was becoming locked. Oh well, thanks for the info. May shoot over and throw in on the bounty to get this thing fully unlocked again.

So I have been trying to upgrade my LiquidSmooth to the most recent release (the 4.3 release), and I everything seems to flash correctly because I am able to boot initially and set up the phone, however when I reboot the phone it just stays on the "Samsung custom" screen and it does not boot. At first I thought it had something to do with my recovery, so I updated it (TWRP 2.6.3) and then I retried it. No dice. So then did some research and I found somewhere that updating the binaries might fix it. So when I flashed the ROM again I tried updating the binaries, but when it goes into recovery mode it starts updating them, but then stops in the middle and then goes back to the Samsung custom screen and then stays there.
Any ideas? Any at all would be awesome!
Also sorry if this has been answered already, I couldn't find anything on it when I searched for it.
Thanks.
Sorry, I'm not on that Rom, but, I've had pretty much the same problems as you. Twrp just wasn't getting it done. I also have goo manager (which uses twrp), so I went into recovery/twrp using goo manager. It worked. You might try installing goo manager from the play store and going into recovery from it and see if that works for you.
I read this suggestion in another post on here.

So you're saying I should use goo to go into my recovery and then flash the rom? Instead of going straight into TWRP by shutting off my phone and booting recovery? Or do you want me to flash the rom, boot it, and then update the binaries by using goomanager? Thanks!
Long story short. I soft bricked my phone the other day. Did the manual recovery with the buttons and installed a Nan droid backup. I later had trouble installing new/updates roms via twrp manager. I read about the problems with using twrp at times. One solution that was suggested was using goo manager, which I did. And, it did work for me the last couple of times.
Try it and see if it helps you out.

I do not see myself having access to a computer anytime in the near future. I had no problem rooting my fascinate from my phone using the framaroot method but I am having no luck flashing a new rom. I want to flash hellybean to get rid of this froyo crap but I just can't seem to do it. If anyone has a way to do this without a computer your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

CyanogenMod installer is coming out soon, and apparently it's going to be compatible with this phone right out of the gate (since it uses download mode and already has an unlocked bootloader)
I did try to use ROM Manager but my install of CM10.1 was pretty much borked after using it. Results may vary, but if you really can't use a computer, download ROM Manager and get the newest CM10.1 build for your phone from get.cm. Flash it through there. It is strongly recommended to use a computer though, since ROM Manager uses an outdated version of ClockworkMod Recovery that may or may not work.

See that's my problem, I can't get cwm recovery or twrp recovery to flash, I used Ron manager to flash the recovery and I got a successful confirmation but when I boot into recovery its always android and not the custom.
