Is anyone else using Rom Manager to install ROM'S? I have a DX 2.2 froyo rooted and wanted to know if any other DX'ERS have used it and what they think about it. If you have any step by step or recommendations, I'm all ears. Oh, I'm a newbie at this so keep it simple please. Thanks

Best app PERIOD for your DX. Just make sure you get the bootstrapper app from koush also as Rom Mngr needs bootstrap. Can back up your entire phone in its current state to restore to later. Highest of recommendations from a long time user here.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
So I have downloaded this app and cannot get any of the ROM's to actually load in. I need to purchase bootstrap to get it to be fully functional? Sorry but I am fairly new to this as well and am tired of all the Blur on the phone and it eating up my battery. I am running 2.2 rooted.
Yeah you need to get the bootstrapper.
I kept doing backups, but could never see them in the Rom Manager.
After I got the Bootstrapper, did the bootstrap recovery, then reboot recovery. It booted into the typical recovery like on the D1, then you can do a backup.
By the Way Great App Koush..
good advice.. I was in the same boat but just installed koush's bootsrapper.. gonna try it later - quick question - do you boot into recovery to do the backup? I am getting confused on what to do when - my goal is to back the phone up and them wipe it and put on some custom roms but have the ability to get the phone back to where it is today - my assumption is if I backup then wipe I can do that.. just trying to soak it all in
thanks

heres how i do it: i go into the bootstrapper and bootstrap the recovery; i dont reboot to recovery from bootstrap. then go to rom mngr and go to the backup and restore section, backup current rom. i rename it to something relevant to the current state of my phone like "ApexClean" or ApexNameofTheme" and backup. since i went to bootstrap just before rom mngr i have bootstrapped the recovery already and rom mngr does its thing. you can do everything from bootstrap by rebooting recovery in the bootstrap app, but i choose to bootstrap then interface with recovery via rom mngr. just a personnal preference. just reread this before posting and hope this makes sense to you. i will be happy to walk you through this if you need some help. Good luck!
Great instructions - I just backed it up - took about 4-5 minutes. Your steps worked like a champ - so my assumption is that I can restore the phone to this state at anytime. Now here is a question - If I wipe the phone to install a new rom - I am assuming rom manger will not be there. So I would need to reinstall rom manager and koush's bootstrapper to then put the backup back on to return the phone to this state?
thanks

you would be correct about your question. once you get familiar and comfortable with how these recovery apps and interfaces work its really a piece of cake. i like using the rom mngr interface just because i can rename my backups to something i can recognize, instead of a bunch of numbers. glad it worked out for you. btw , as personal preference and a suggestion to you, i enjoy changing roms and themes quite frequently. i have gone thru all the steps to get root and froyo(leaked 2.3.15) on my phone. once i got a "baseline" system, i installed RM, Bootstrap, Astro File Mngr, and Terminal Emulator, then i did the steps mentioned in myh previous post and created a clean system backup and renamed it "froyocleanroot." with this "froyocleanroot" backup if i want to change anything, rom or theme, i just restore to this backup and, voila, i have a clean phone/system ready with the necessary root applications already installed!

Can someone direct me to a "how to" install nandroid for the captivate... I downloaded it, but it was on a thread for the G1, so I'm not sure if the procedure is the same for the captivate.
Thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You need to get clockworkmanager, nandroid is the name for backing up your phone and being able to install that backup. Make sure you check the dev section and read up on the thread for clockworkmanager. You will need to be rooted with busybox and superuser access.
Easyist way is find the one click root on here then root your phone. Then get rom manager off the market and then install it and that will allow you to install clockwork then use rom manager to reboot into recovery then select backup and off you go.
I can tell you its a blessing to have that. Was messing around with trying to get froyo rom on and I had major issues so I just said screw it and restored to jh2 then rooted rom manager then clockwork then nandroid backup was back to my stuff in 10 mins.
Oh and its way worth buying rom manager for the little they charge. Its a great program
Cool, thanks for spelling this out for me... From what I have read before I try anything I need to do a nandroid back up incase something goes wrong so this helps a lot.
Thanks again!

reboot into recovery and select reinstall packages
if it reboots back to the recovery screen again, select reinstall packages again. this time you should be in the green clockwork mod screen. select nandroid from the menu and then select backup

You need to do this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804226 just use the version of Odin that you used to install Froyo. This will enable 2e Recovery needed to run ClockworkMod Recovery.

Yup, it was just as simple as you said, thanks! Just made a nandroid backup. And clockwork mod's recovery is great
Im sorry if this is a dumb question...Im brand new to Android. What is Nandroid Backup?
I rooted and did the clockwork/rom manager download and then did this:
How to Install ClockWork Recovery:
1. On the menu there should be an option labeled “FLASH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY.”
Press it.
2. Once a popup says that it has been succesful press “BACKUP CURRENT ROM”
3. Your phone will now restart and backup your ROM
4. If your phone does not start backing up and instead boots into a blue menu use the volume
keys to select reboot now and then press the power button. Try to do all the steps again.
5. Wait for it to finish and then it should restart.
Is this different from a Nandroid backup?
Clockwork, nandroid, both refer to rom manager utilities. Clockwork is the recovery function and nandroid the backup utility.
But you need to select reinstall packages at screen with blue text. Clockwork/nandroid will have green text menu.
Swyped.....you may have to interpret
But im doing both the Clockwork/Nandroid with the Rom manager app correct? I did the reinstall packages and then it showed code scrolling and a status bar that took a minute or two... Is that what you mean? Did I do it right?
Yep....that is a nandroid backup
Swyped.....you may have to interpret

Hey,
I just rooted my phone a few days ago so i could install the lag fix on my captivate. Got it done and it runs great now. I started looking around at these custom ROMs and i'm interested in trying one out, but not with out backing up my stock/rooted rom first in case i screw something up. Here is the prob that i'm having.
I installed Clockwork Rom manager NP. Got Busy box installed already too. I opened up rom manager and hit back/recover and it asked me my phone type. I told it the captivate. It downloaded recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-captivate.zip into a recoveries directory. Next i clicked on the fix permissions and let it do its thing. Now i clicked on backup current ROM clicked ok for the default name. Phone reboots into recover mode and pops up with.
update media, finished
--install from package....
Finding update package...
opening update package...
E:can't open /cache/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I hit reinstall packages and it gives me the same error.
The only thing that i have try was renaming the recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-captivate.zip to update.zip and dropping it in the main directory but it had the same effect.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Get and update.
I re-dropped the recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-captivate.zip as update.zip in the main dir. and hit backup current mod.
I clicked reinstall packages and it went into the manual mode, hit reinstall pages again and it has seemed to work.
I will give and update if it does not. Thanks again.
Guys,
One thing I am not sure of. I got a brand new Captivate with Stock JF6. I have another one running Froyo.
If I take backup of current new phone via CWM (nandroid) and restore it on the other one.
Is there any trouble expected ???
One I know that files in /efs may get screwed up as it has IMEI related entries too ... but I am not sure.
I am listening.
So I'm trying to update my rooted 3.0.1 euro 3G xoom to the 3.2 Hammerhead ROM, and here's something that is really confusing me:
I've installed ROM Manager 4.3.3.0 from the Market. Then I downloaded and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0.0 R4c via this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
So far so good: I can boot to recovery and it looks that everything is working nicely... with the exception of the following:
1) Even though I have CWM installed, ROM Manager won't recognize it. It keeps asking to install it. I haven't done that though because I don't want to overwrite the one I flashed... how can I get ROM Manager to recognize CWM? Or, if I install a different CWM version through the ROM Manager interface, will that overwrite the existing install, or even break something?
2) I can't find Nandroid in the recovery menu of 3.2.0.0 R4c. It says that it should be there in the Wiki (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_backup_or_recover_via_Nandroid), but no sir. I only have the options Backup and Advanced Backup in recovery; it doesn't say Nandroid anywhere.
The thing is - I made a normal backup and it created a folder with .img files in it, along with a nandroid.md5 file. So is this a full Nandroid backup or not? And should it not be a zip file? Meaning - will I be able to revert to this backup through ROM Manager or CWM later if it's not a zip?
3) Lastly, I want to install the Tiamat 2.1 Hammerhead ROM. solarnz writes in the instructions in step 6 to "install the rom". So do I do that from recovery? Or from ROM Manager? Which brings me back to my first problem, that ROM Manager won't recognize CWM and won't let me install a ROM without it.
Also - can I install the Hammerhead ROM from my rooted 3.0.1 device at all, or should I install 3.1 first?
I know these are a lot of questions all at once, but after hours and hours of searching and reading (and learning a lot!), I still can't figure this part out.
Many thanks to anyone who can help me make sense of this!

Forget about Rom Manager. You have the correct recovery installed and you have made a "nandroid" backup when you used the backup option in CWM recovery 3.2.0.0 R4c. The Rom you want to flash needs to be on your MicroSD card and that needs to be in your Xoom when you boot into recovery. It is from the CWM recovery menu that you will choose to flash the zip file that will install the Rom. You will need to be able to boot into recovery and you can do it by pressing volume up and power to get to dual core screen, then after 3 seconds, press volume down then volume up and you should be in recovery. Or you could download Quick Boot from the market and use its boot into recovery option (that's what I do).
About the version you need to be on to flash Hammerhead...what does it say? I think you may need to be on 3.1 but just read the OP on the Hammerhead thread...it will tell you the requirements.
Good luck!
Thanks a lot for explaining that okantomi, that's very helpful and reassuring!
The only thing I'm left with now is to figure out the version part... the rom OP doesn't say anything about a required version. Here's the thread btw: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203635
I made my way through the first 18 or so pages of the 434 total pages in that thread, but still couldn't find any info on that. I'll keep looking - not giving up

Enjoy your shiny new Rom!
I have:
Infuse
Infused ROM V2
So today I downloaded "ROM Manager" and "ROM Manager Premium" from the market. AFAIK, this means they are up to date as of today.
Then installed CWM Recovery.
Then installed the 3e mod fix.
Then booted to CWM and did a nandroid backup.
Then booted normally.
Then attempted to install MYUI via ROM Manager download.
It bricked the phone.
Restored the phone with Odin.
Rooted.
Then installed both ROM Managers.
Then installed CWM Recovery.
Then installed the 3e mod fix.
Then booted to CWM and did a restore from the new backup done earlier in the day.
Now it just hangs at the Samsung splash screen.
Any ideas? I have a LOT of investment in the backed up ROM and don't want to lose it.

I dont know what ALOT of investment is.......but what i think happened here is this<<
You were on Gingerbread right, Infused v2.x.x and you made a Nandroid(thats fine)
u installed miUi and didnt have the luck you wanted...Thats fine
You went back to stock, and rooted and modded the Recovery so you could restore your nandroid....Thats fine
But if you went back to stock(Froyo Right) and try to load up a Gringerbread Nandroid on top it shouldnt work. Nandroids only back up the ROM not the Kernel......so you were in a sense trying to run a Gingerbread Rom on a Stock Froyo Kernel......
Go into CWM flash your Kernel, or use odin and flash a Ginger Kernel then go into CWM and RESTORE.
Happy FLashing
Didn't know that! That may explain a lot of my ROM frustrations.
I'll try this and report back.
Off to go find a suitable kernel....
I really should get my post count up so I can get past this horrible 10 post restriction.
Did you try initiating the flash through CWM or through ROM Manager? Honestly I don't prefer to do any work via ROM Manager, I always have more luck going through CWM and starting a flash from there. Kernel is the first place I'd start but you should also Factory Wipe and Cache Wipe each time you move between ROMs, sometimes you get very lucky and don't need to, most times you bork your phone, and if you're nandroiding back from a backup wiping before you restore is good practice just to make sure you don't leave anything behind from your old ROM.
I installed a gingerbread kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212485
Version 1.1.
But it didn't work out.
So now I'm fighting with trying to get a stock Infused V2 ROM on there.
No luck yet. Once I do, I'll try the recovery again.
Btw, I'm using CWM for everything.
Go to mounts and storage in clockwork recovery then select format system then do your nand restore ...

Wow, I was totally making some rookie (which I am) Android mistakes today.
Every time I tried to restore the backup image, I was doing it in CWM by selecting "install .zip from SD card". When I SHOULD have been using the "backup/restore" function.
I'm up & running again. All original apps/settings are restored. Great!
Now to start breaking things again, since I know how to restore from backup now.
Just got my Droid 2 Global.
It looks like there have been a lot of the "File share sites" files taken down.
Here is what I found worked for my D2G (Droid 2 Global).
I started with version 4.5.608...
To be sure that this is your phones current version
go to settings>about phone and look at the number below System Version. If your phone does not say 4.5.608 I cant promise that this will work.
If you are at system version4.5.608 then first go here and follow these instructions.
Part one- ROOT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240130
I know it says for droid 3 but trust me it worked for my D2G.
Part Two-install Recovery:
Once you have achieved root open the market and download the $2.99 app "droid 2 bootstrapper".
or if you can find the file here free, then side load it.
Run the app. if you get an error then you may want to retry the first step
Dont remove the app, because you need it to boot into rcovery mode to back up your phone with Nandroid and flash your favorite Rom.
worked for me. hope this helps.
Yeah, you could check the wiki or the sticky threads for this info.
I'm pretty sure once you have bootstraped, CWR will install a permanent CWR now. I haven't had bootstrap loaded for months. Good to have an up to date guide though.
You cannot install CWM permanently on a D2G, period.
It's just included in MIUI and CM7 (and often in other custom ROMs as well).

The bootstrap is to initially allow you to load a custom rom. After that, the bootstrap app isn't needed and flashing clockwork mod through rom manager will do.
Btw, the cwm is saved to your sd card, so while it doesn't stay on the phone, if you load rom manager, it will generally say you have cwm flashed already.
beepea206, I'm not really sure what you are talking about as, first, CWM doesn't install itself to the SD card. All the SD card has is, settings, backups, and the install script.
CWM can't run from the SD card because during its startup, the card is not even mounted.
Second, as I already mentioned CWM is included in most of currently supported custom ROMs. Using ROM Manager to flash it might even force your device into a bootloop.
Right, the backup is on the sd card. My point is, if you had a recovery flashed, when you open rom manager for the first time on a new install, it will show cwm as already flashed. And even when I've wiped data and flashed a new rom, like cm7, I was able to boot into recovery, without ever opening rom manager or flashing cwm in the new rom, so it must access the backup on the sd card.
beepea206, I don't know why I should repeat this again, but CM7 includes CWM.
In Froyo times there still were CM7 builds without CWM included, and you had to use Droid2 Bootstrap Recovery like on stock.
Not every rom comes with cwm or rom manager, yet if you install rom manager on those roms, it will show you have cwm already flashed. I used cm7 purely as an example.
DO NOT USE DROID 2 BOOTSTRAP!!!! it doesnt work on the droid 2 global. you will not be able to format system and therefor will not be able to flash any roms or restore any nandroids. You must use DROID X bootstrap!!!
DROID2 Bootstrap works fine on my D2G. I'm not quite sure what are you on about.
Droid 2 bootstrap works fine
ROM Manager has an option to "Backup Current ROM" and "Manage and Restore Backups". Can all that be used on stock (odexed), rooted ROM?
The End.
I noticed this feature as well. I personally never tried but i am not sure how it would work. It might create a file in the the clockwork mod folder. But i doubt it works. You could always try it out. the worst it could do it bootloop your phone and you can just fxz? haha.
I don't have a method yet for flashing a fxz file. I'm on linux. Ive never been forced to learn how to do it. You try. ;-)
The End.
Haha. That is a great challenge. My phone is charging right now. We need to find another "victim" to do it. I don't think ROM toolbox is very reliable though. Or at least not as reliable as CWM
I use this app to backup and restore apps.
Don't know for sure to backup and restore rom.

We're talking about ROM Manager by Koushik Dutta. Not "ROM Toolbox". Right?
The End.
As far as backing up and restoring a stock rom, I fairly certain that it will. However, it depends on a CWM mod recovery and at the moment all we have is a frankinmod recovery and Rom Manager doesn't even acknowledge it.
So, if we had CWM in better shape, or a way for Rom Manager to see it, then everything else would fall into place.
On a random note, Rom Manager will boot into recovery with our frankinmod, but that's about it.
@41rw4lk
These are exactly the concerns i have.
The End.
I was referring to ROM Toolbox but i personally never trusted ROM Toolbox or ROM manager. But that is just me personally.
ROM Manager makes things a whole lot easier for flashing ROMs and backing up/restoring. It's developed by koushikdutta, the same person that develops CWM, so everything should be seamlessly integrated. But as 41rw4lk stated, ROM Manager only partially detects our modified, bootstrapped recovery (it can boot into it but no automation). However, you can get it to work on the A2 . Apply the A2 bootstrap, then flash the Bionic recovery from ROM Manager, then re-apply the A2 bootstrap.

Using ROM Toolbox for flashing/restoring/backing up/etc only works if you have the premium ROM Manager. It uses methods from the premium ROM Manager to do just what ROM Manager does. So ROM Toolbox works although there isn't really a reason to use it.
I did away with the bootstrapper and use the cwm on every boot method, which is built into the Sonya rom now I believe. Can I flash the Bionic recovery still without messing everything up?

yes it will work finr as i have done so. Also, the options in rom manager that alow you to backup or restore a rom do work as i have used both mutiple times with out a problem. I just flashed the new lithium rom today right after i backed up my atrix sonya rom using the backup option.

Is there a method to remove the Bionic Recovery? When the Atrix 2 Recovery becomes available would we install that over the Bionic?

im not sure about removing it from out phone, but i do know if we ever get an officail or unofficial recovery made just for the atrix 2 you would just either flash it using rom manager (if its in the list of devices) or flash the zip in recovery and reboot into your rom or reboot recovery to check it out.
Technically, the recoveries we're flashing now aren't replacing the system recovery, they're just put in the system and loaded like any other script. If you try to get to recovery manually with buttons, you hit the default system recovery. If we ever get an unlocked bootloader and an official CWM then we're golden and can overwrite the system recovery. So uninstalling everything else should be a matter of deleting scripts, or just not build them into roms anymore since we won't need to.
It's late, so if I'm talking out my ass I apologize. I will say, I appreciate all the work and help from everyone here.
