It does not like our phones. Has great options but.......it sucks. Everytime I flash it on my phone my recovery goes bad in a cpl days. Never had this problem with RA. Do a search rom manager pops up all over the place with bad recoveries. Stop using it ppl. Im sure ill get flamed for this but oh well. Kinda tired of reading of noobs that fall victim to a .apk that seems very easy to use until it craps out and then your stuck at the airport with a bad recovery and ADB no where in sight. Or even if u had ADB you still have no clue how to fix it!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't agree more.
never used it thank goodness.........
Never happened to me
EDIT: Sorry for my rudeness, anyways, people should know that it's not the greatest idea to use rom manager with cm5/cm6. It has already been established that it may be a bad idea to use the program with the following roms. Sorry I get really cranky in the mornings, not the best idea to come onto the forum with some old news :|

I have never used it and I agree with him just from all the posts I have seen related too it messing up people's recovery images. Does that make me stupid?
I've used it for a few weeks now with no problems on my MyTouch on 1.6, 2.1, and 2.2 ROMs. Not saying others aren't having legitimate issues, but people in general are much more likely to post negative reports than positive ones.

hahahahaha good one. Not to stupid to use it. the ui is very simple and easy to use. Flash clockwork or flash alternate. What im to stupid to do is figure out how to fix it after it kills recovery. but thank you for your input, I'm sure it will help someone out.

Please lead us retartds through your install procedure, current rom, set-up so we can be as learndededed as you. I have had cm5&6 with ra installed upon initial set up. No swap/ noext1234, stock mt3g spl 2.22.23.02 radio. Nothing special. I even did it with the donut mytouch rom w/root.I only use basic apps, nothing that would interfere with recovery. to me it seems that when u flash a cpl different roms a day is when it hangs up. I can usually get the phone to boot back up, which gives me a chance to get back into rom manager and flash ra recovery back to the phone. the last cpl times I had to wipe cache before it would actually flash RA recovery. so basically if u can get the phone to boot past the splash screen go to rom manager and flash the **** out of ra recovery until it works. First we found out that clockwork didnt like flashing zip's and backups on low batteries 30% and lower. then the always fun recoverly log issue(cant recall the exact error right now) and of course the cant get to recovery issue. I know it's not a widesporead problem but it is a problem that renders phones useless until u can find someone nice enough to help u and not treat u like a retard. Not everyone knows as much about phones as you guys do....congratulations you know all there is about phones. go learn some ****ing human decency, if u have nothing helpful to say then shut up.
have been using it without Rom manager and highly disagree with the poster.doing it 'wrong' or without knowing 'how to' can certainly cause problems but that should not be described as the problem of the product. lot of people can not use nuclear power correctly (look at the USA) and now we call describe nuclear power as menace which is lame :/

hmmmmm. Maybe since its flashing clockwork from inside rom manager is what might be killing it for some of us. tonight I will try just flashing clockwork outside of rom manager and see how that goes. i like clockwork's set up and it is easy to use, just kinda freaks me out when my recovery goes bad.

but at the same time thats why it is a part of rom manager. one click recovery flasher. to make it "easy". i highly doubt you can go into rom manager and incorrectly flash clockwork recovery. its a one click thing
it's also spoken out at many threads at xda that flashing the recovery from within the OS causes issues, so trying to install the recovery from PC or even RA1.7 should be a better option.
I'm considering that you already know the commands for that. better luck! remember, clock work will allow you to flash anything without signing - meaning? you can edit any update.zip to your liking and then forget about all the trouble of signing it before flashing. a simple toggle should do the trick while you are in recovery mode happy flashing.

It is either a case of your phone, sd card setup/left over files etc..
I use rom manager on every phone I root with no problems since its release. 6 G1's, 3 Fender LE's, 7 Mytouch 1.2 and 4 Evos. Sometimes, it takes couple seconds to show up or go into recovery, but that doesnt mean its gone. Recovery cant just dissapear without something either trying to over write it or it being erased.

reflash any rom
in my case... above steps then in this order
flash fireats custom mtd part 1.1
super E
Gapps

rom manager is not for idiots like yourself. rom manager is a great tool for many different phones. sometimes it doesnt flash a recovery correctly maybe it be poor service to download the recovery, or low memory when flashing it. an advanced user (who its made for) can still flash recovery via fastboot, and have all the helpfulness and easy ui of rom manager and easy access to cm nightlies.
dont knock a dev who works on many different phones, and dont rely on noob application reports and bad reviews. anyone who finds rom manager crap is just a poor android user.

i didn't want to get into this pointless discussion, but you have made a ****ty argument for rom mgr, you have confirmed that it doesn't work properly in certain circumstances, which is a good enough reason to not bother with it.
also, why shouldn't we rely on bad reviews? that's the point of a review, to give some idea about what experience to expect.
(i have never used it myself, amon ra recovery is enough for me.)
I agree it is an 'easy' shortcut that is not the best decision.. Like for example I think it killed my phone. I repaired permissions via rom manager, rebooted as it told me to and now my g1 wont boot past the g1 logo. I could install from a backup but the backup is 1+ month old (my error oops!). I am hoping to find a solution... Really dont wanna wipe everything..

I made a perfectly good argument. Yes it can "mess up", but thats not at the fault of the app. It's at the fault of the phone. There are things that can go wrong that Koush cannot control. It is for ADVANCED users as a quick helpful UI for recovery-based operations. People that don't know what they're doing, or only half-way do shouldn't be using it. However, too many Android users *think* they are advanced enough, yet 5 minutes after using it, post a "PLEASE HELP, PHONE IS BROKEN", because they DON'T know what they're doing.
I'm not saying that all bad reviews are missguied, but I can assure that 90% of them are from noobs that have no idea what they're doing. They rooted their phone because someone told them it was cool, and they have absolutetly no idea whats in their hands and what they can do with it. Let alone, how to properly work it and fix problems. It's easy as pie to point out noobs from those crowds of users, those 3 links in the OP's post are all perfectly examples. People who came to XDA, signed up, never posted anything, then messed up and came crying to the board asking for help (usually in Android Development because people like them, and the OP too, don't how to to post in the correct section).
So for the last time, if you don't know what you're doing on your phone, don't do it. Just because you have root, and an app says "for root users", doesn't mean its for you, which EVERYONE assumes it is. It's piss-poor users like that, that ruin app reviews and the name of Android everywhere.

Get a clue , its a program any gimp, including you, can install from the market, it is made in such way ...the fact that it dosent fail to write the recovery in fastboot mode means nothing!
This program shouldnt let the G1 user flesh any rec image. Till that happens it is the DEV's fault. Shouldnt be in the G1 CM's either.
I've been trying to install Serendipity to my Captivate. I've been working on this for several hours. Having problem after problem because i came from Windows Mobile ROMS.
I find it hard to find how to instructions for this. diggin in the web to learn about clockworkmod and 2e recovery and Odin (which I still don't konw how to do). Documentation is awful!
Anyway, for well over an hour now my phone has displayed nothing but a Droid digging a hole. Under that it says "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!"
What do I do? I think it's stuck. I have read many good thing about Serendipity and wanted to try it. Now I just hope I haven't bricked my phone.
I really love Android, but flashing custom roms to WM phones is much easier and better documented.
try again.
if you don't get a blue bar moving in about 60-90 seconds, chances are it hasn't done ****.
My only suggestion is to follow the serendipity website instructions. I found that if you use odin for master clear then you need to do it while the phone is on with usb debugging.enabled.

What I've done when this happened (only happened once), I just unplugged the phone (stupid idea generally), pull the battery then re-insert it. Go to your computer and open up ODIN. Plug in you phone in Downloader mode and reinstall.

The biggest problem that most people have with odin is that the proper sequence is not followed. 1. Run odin as admin 2. set up odin how you want 3. when odin is fully set up and your phone is in a fully off state with no usb pluggged in....THEN hold both volume keys while plugging in the usb and voila. ps like was said this belongs in Q&A
I think... yes, I think I may have it working. I will update later. I need some sleep sometime tonight.
One thing that wasn't clear to me doing this last night for the first time...
When the phone goes into that "downloading..." mode, it won't do anything more until you press 'Start' on Odin. Now I am a noob at this, but others are too so that might clarify things a bit.

I know what you mean about documentation, bro! But I had a WM phone as well (AT&T 8525) and it wasn't always that easy to flash that thing either! Once you get the info together, it's prett straitforward. You just have to save those bookmarks! lol
Anyways, regarding your Clockworkmod 2e issue. I just posted a solution to this as I had the same issue just last night and figured it out.
Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002649
This should fix the clockwork signature issue when trying to boot into CWR, if that's the issue you're having. It was a little tricky but if you use the instructons I posted it should work fine. Link to original post is also in that thread.
Once that's installed, you can install rom ZIPs easily from there. Just launch the CWR and select install zips from sd. The next menu will let you choose the actual zip file to install. (as opposed to renaming it update.zip)
Non ZIP roms (.tar files) are usually installed using Odin3. Setting the phone to debug mode and selecting the file .tar from the PDA selection menu in Odin. And you usually have to launch Odin first, then plug in the USB cable to make the app see your phone.
If you hose the phone, you can almost always fall back on the old Loader mode to restore back to original rom using the Odin 1 click Stock rom located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
It includes full instructions. Then you can start all over from there!
And just to get you going again, here's the link to the Super One Click root.

If anyone feels I'm wrong about anything or am over simplifying, please feel free to post your input. I've been doing a lot of mods on my phone for over a year and this is just a basic summary of what I've come up with.
Hope it was helpful.

I have searched this site for a few days trying to find some sort of answer...okay well an answer i can understand. but perhaps my n00banism is getting in the way. I've broken my nookcolor but it's not broken. yep. exactly. Here is my story:
I was able to root my nook thanks to theunlockr.com. I followed those directions and was able to get a nightly of cm7 (which i ran on my device for 3 months or so). when i tried to update to the stable version I kept getting an error message that the file was bad...i forget the exact wording. SOOO enter me, and my awesomeness. I found tipstir.the-talk.net and an option to load honeycomb on my nookcolor (which seems to be running fine btw). Somehow during that my clockwordmod rom manager was missing. I hadn't yet loaded the gap pack so i went online to the android market and downloaded it. yay. I tried to 'reboot into recovery' to load or 'flash'...but it just reboots normally.
I have since found that the kindle app and aldiko (which is the only app i've found that will read my old sony ereader books) just wont run on honeycomb which makes it all but useless to me since i use this primarily as an ereader.
I dont know what to do to fix the situation that i've found myself in. I think i read somewhere that you can load cm7 on an sd card and run it...but how then would I fix the situation that i've gotten myself into?
yhea...i have just enough interest in these sort of things to get myself in trouble, but not enough practical knowledge to get myself out of the pickles. SO please help the lame and powerless!
Thanks so much
Mikaela
The most surefire fix is to make a cwm card, flash back to your stock firmware, then either use cm7 on the card or install it on your nook(emmc). Basically, treat it like you bricked it. There are quite a few threads that can tell you step by step how to do it.

I actually was trying to figure out the same thing for myself last night. What I ended up doing was SBF'ing back to stock, 2.0.x... I can't remember lol.
Download the rooted version of your OS. (Stock was easiest for me to find.) Change the name to update.zip and boot into recovery to apply it. From there I just installed rom manager and flashed CWM through it.
I'd post links, but I looked ALL over the internet and used a bunch of ideas. Also, those sites look bad on my work computers history

I believe I used the method posted above, but it took me several tries to figure out what I was doing wrong, because in the YouTube guide videos, they wouldn't include this step.
This *MIGHT* be the same method I used. So I could be wrong. But when you're plugging in your phone to the computer, Turn Debugging on, but do NOT mount your SD card to the computer. That reason alone screwed me over so much because none of the video guides mentioned it. I always did it out of habit.

I'm pretty sure I kept it mounted, turning debugging on was enough for me. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to push files onto the sd card.
Then again I might have used a different program, I rooted about.. 3 months ago. I think it could have been along the lines of for the first part keep it unmounted, then later mount it.
Something along those lines. Either way, this is the method I used. Once you have all the files you can root/unroot in 5 minutes easy.
Can someone advise me on whether it is possible to update to the new Rom without the use of a USB.

1) You should clarify the title. Something like "How to update to v28E without USB". Imagine every thread like "LG P990 question", it's absurd.
2) You should tell us if you want the vlite or the full version of v28E.
3) CWM 5.0 is not the latest.
4) Yes, it is possible, put everything in the sd card =P.
Good luck.
Hello, apologies for that.
Thank you for the fast response.
I would like to install the full version, I am aware that you need to specifically partition the ad, but I can read grains thread for that.
Can I just confirm then, that if there is a zip for the new downloader, cwm and Rom in one zip.
That can be run from cwm?

First -- In case you want to go full metal on P990, that means repartitioning, new BB and full flash, you need to flash. There is no other way than using NVFlash, as described in lovely thread in development by Stephan G.
Reasons - reformatting is not easily done from within phone which runs on these partitions, same goes for reflashing recovery from within recovery.
Second -- not sure why without USB?
Third -- there is CWM-possible way by using TonypAndHarsh's vlite V28E rom, yet this goes without new BB and with possibility of no call audio issue.
So, to repeat my answer to your main point, no. There is no way to fully install new system/BB without USB connection and PC. You have to flash it.
Hello. I think you can instal the new ICS without your usb cable.
1. you need to instal rom manager from PlayStore and flash from here the CWM recovery. I recomend you to instal the version 5.2.0
2. Make a nandroid backup before you do something to your actual rom.
3. Use titanium backup to backup all your apps and settings.
4. Put ICS rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959545 in your sd card (i think you have at leat a card reader and on adapter to put your microsd card) and follow the isntruction from the download page.
Good luck!
Cool thank you will try tomorrow.

I'm sorry but I disagree with you... I think that anyone that thinks about the title for 2 seconds can understand that if the guy is asking if it's possible to flash v28e without USB of course he means the "full" stock ICS leak, the one which requires you to redo your partitions and whatnot... the one that is only possible through nvflash, thus, it is not possible to update to v28e without USB.
Or, you could just reply... hey, it's not possible to flash "the real deal", but you can flash tonyp's "lite" version, which uses the old bootloader and a patched kernel (thus some bugs might come from that) and all you need to do is put the files in the sd card...
I don't know why you had to be so "blunt"...

Thank you for that information, I am currently trying to find out if there is a way to install the right version of CWM, then try to install the new bootloader from within CWM? I am not even sure if that is possible.
I think she is just going to have to get her phone sent back, the only problem is the o2x is discontinued, I doubt they will replace it or fix it. They will probably try and replace it, but only give her something that I wouldn't consider a good replacement. But we'll have to speak to her insurance company first.
I have seen these phones selling on ebay, they are about £100 from what I can gather, it depends what she wants to do. Could buy a new one and sell her one, just a shame really, i found another thread about the USB problem and they had to send it back and get it repaired, must be either a problem with the connection or the board, I would think the board as it charges fine, which is really weird.
Anyway, thank you for you help, i will keep searching to see what i can find.

Thank you for that information, I am currently trying to find out if there is a way to install the right version of CWM, then try to install the new bootloader from within CWM? I am not even sure if that is possible.

Just cause you didnt mention it before, but are you running a hacked version of ICS right now on the phone? If you are, it could be a matter of the ADP drivers on your computer? If it was a stupid idea sry. It was just something that pop'd into my head

I got a bug on my O2X USB as well, and I managed to solve it temporary, (the bug comes back after some time, but the process has worked for me everytime the bug comes back, I'm currently testing to try to identify the cause of the bug), it is kind of a long process but I could get back my usb sync, if you want I made a tutorial of what I exactly did, after this process you can install any stock or custom rom without any problem just make sure to follow the instructions as they are described

Too bad to hear it didn't worked, do you mind if I ask, what exactly failed? I mean, it would be great to have some feedback of what you did and where you got stuck, so I might make some updates of the post, or upload another backup, or so
If you have any doubt about my post, I would be pleased to help you with that
thanks for giving it a try
cheers
Hi
I downloaded a stock Rom that had been modded.
So I could be sure that I would have cwm in case anything went wrong.
Rom loaded and was able to get into the secret menu.
I will say that under USB connection type there was misspelling where it said:
LG USB adnroid
Not sure if that would affect it.
I selected that item.
Then went to port.
Selected the different options in ordered and waited about 10 seconds on each turn, then pressed find any changes in device manager unplugged and plugged the USB.
Then tried in different orders but with not luck.
Took the battery out and tried holing the vol up down the plugging in USB but to no avail.
Then pressed power and vol down.
The phone tuned on and showed LG sign then switched off.
I tried pressing check any changes as the LG sign came on but nothing.
Then tried nvflash as the LG sign came on but nvflash showed no connection.
Very weird, definitely dead but still charges, doesn't make sense.
Oh well
Ordered an atrix with work and play kit for 68 quid, has a broken digitizer which will cost 20 pound, on average, off ebay.
Thanks for the help though.
May take the 2x apart when new phone comes and see if there's any physical damage on te board.
