I heard a little about the bootstrap thing, but what about the clockwork recovery?
I'm guessing they would both perform the same functions or is one different from the other?
Can anyone shed some light on this topic please? Sorry if its a repost.
EDIT: Now that I'm doing some more reading it seems like i need the bootstrap app anyway and then i put in clockwork recovery via rom manager?

That doesnt answer either of my questions, unless I"m not understanding and that koush's stuff includes clockwork. Not sure, can someone elaborate?

Clockwork and bootstrap are kind of the same. Install the bootstrap.apk and it allows you to get into clockwork...
You do not need to install clockwork from rom manager. Once you have bootstrap installed there is an option to boot into clockwork...
bootstrap is the way to install clockwork onto the droid2, rom manger will try to overwrite clockwork to the systems recovery and will prob brick your phone
I downloaded the Bootstrap and went into recovery and made a Backup. Then I downloaded Rom Manager. It flashed Clockwork Recovery without any issues.
how about amon_ra? has anyone gotten that on the droid 2? i use that on the EVO and LOVE it!
Can anyone please help me with a step by step tutorial on how to root gingerbread 2.3.3.

I finally bit the bullet and did it last night. You can't do it like Super One Click, you basically have to install ClockWorkMod
Go here and skip down to the picture of the screen with 3 large buttons.
Follow the instructions to:
1) Install the Nvidia NvFlash APX Driver
2) Install Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
3) Download a ROM (I just chose the stock Gingerbread with root access -- That is the only way to get Root Access)
4) Put the downloaded ROM on the root directory of your SD card
5) Backup all your stuff (I used MyBackup Pro)
6) Follow the instructions to boot into recovery mode.
7) There are instructions for installing each mod but it involves clearing data/cache, installing the mod.
It isn't as hard as it sounds but it can be intimidating. This is just a summary from the top of my head. There may be a few more steps.
Good luck.
Here is the link for the stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 mod.

Do I need to be rooted to flash?

No. As long as you flash recovery properly then you can flash any rom compatible with the phone. As long as the rom is rooted you'll have root.

flash recovery as in having the menu where you hold lower volume button and the power button to make it say android and have it show up a menu for reboot,wipe data/cache, etc?

That's the one. It should say clockworkmod recovery at the top.
G2X CM7
Before you flash a rom make sure to wipe data/factory reset. Its one of the options in the recovery menu.

ok. What if i mess up? Mess up as in like it crashes during and when i load it up will it be bricked?

Do you mean when you flash a new rom? If so then no, as long as you used the nvflash method to put clockworkmod recovery on your G2X then you can always boot back into recovery to fix your issues. Just make sure you ONLY flash roms made for the G2X. Don't flash anything made for the O2X.
G2X CM7
General rule for flashing roms:
- If you're switching from one rom to a different one, you should do a full wipe/factory reset before flashing. For instance, flashing from stock to CM7, or flashing from CM7 to MIUI, etc.
- If you're updating to a newer version of the same rom, then just wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash the update.

Ok i just finished flashing ginger bread 2.3.3 rooted onto my g2x. Also How do i get the old camera back from froyo? That one had so many options, this one has very little and i jjust downloaded an app but it wont install
Superuser update.zip?
After installing CWM recovery why can't you just run Chaindd's SuperUser update.zip installer. Since CWM is on the phone, it should be able to install this update.zip file. If not, why not?

No clue. I'd like to take a look at it. Do you have a link to that zip file? What does flashing the zip do to the phone? Have you tried it? Results?

I don't have my G2X yet so I haven't tried it. The file can be found in Chaindd's SuperUser thread. He is the author of the SuperUser permissions program. It just installs superuser.apk and su with proper permissions to the phone. Works on most devices with CWM installed.

How???? i have the drivers, opened every one..dont know how to install...
I searched this forum a bit and I can't find a nice guide. I am currently running rooted .19 on my TF101, B70KAS. Is it as simple as dropping the ROM on my internal SD and letting it update to the latest Revolver release (based on .21)? Or can I do it with booting into recovery mode? This is my first tablet and I have no clowworkmod on my tablet... do I need to flash that somehow? Where's a guide?
thanks!

I am very familiar with CWM, flashing, nandroid backups, etc. I've had a nexus one for a long long time. I just can't find any good stickies on how to install CWM on my tablet, which I assume is my first step, though I find it odd there are no stickies. On the Nexus One forum there are lots! Where can I learn about installing CWM on my tablet with stock (but rooted) .19 FW?

One click CWM installer, don't get any easier than that.
I had the Same issue coming from the nexus s. the tricky bit is that rom manager does not support the transformer. I've got a galaxy tab 10.1 as well and flashing over a custom recovery was easy as pie.
anyway, what you have to do is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093818)
then you need to install an app (i use reboot2recovery) from the marketplace to get into the custom recovery. i've tried quickboot or rom manager but all it does it take me to a black screen or reboot the device. reboot2recovery will actually drop you into clockworkmod recovery. from there, do your nandroid backup. you'll need an SD card in your transformer for it to actually go ahead with the backup.
aside: from my reading, the backup should backup to internal storage with that modded clockwork. i've never been able to get it to work though. anyway, just use an SD card for now so you can get through the difficult stuff.
so at this point uve done the following:
installed clockwordmod using the first 2 links and installed the reboot2recovery APK to get into recovery.
now you have an SD card in your transformer and you are doing a nandroid backup.
once completed, put the 200+mb revolver rom on the root of your SD card. you may also want to put another kernel. i use the one recommended by revolver.
now just wipe the cache, data, etc as usual. now flash the rom, reboot the system when completed. plug in your gmail account, wifi password etc. and then reinstall the reboot2recovery apk. now reboot to recovery and then flash the kernel. reboot and ure good to go. install revolver parts to allow for additional tweaking and OTA updating.
i got my transformer from bestbuy this thanksgiving and went to revolver 3.9.5 immediately. last night i actually flashed revolver 3.11 right over it. not a single problem.
edit: reading the above post, i remember that my FIRST recovery installation was using that one-click tool and, as was said, it works flawlessly. you still need the reboot2recovery though. and recoveryinstaller WILL NOT install the modified for internal storage version of clockwork. i'm thinking maybe i just havent tried backing up since updating to the internal storage version, which is why i think i've "never gotten it to work"

Awesome, I had tried it earlier and it didn't do anything. Then I realized that my superuser app was FCing, however I could still use adb shell and su just fine! After I realized there was an update for the superuser app, I installed it. Everything is perfect now.

It mean open your command prompt in your computer fire up the ADB server and type
Code:

Why why not download the reboot recovery app from the market?

Thx man, you really helped me out today. First with my root/cwm problem and now with this rom.
You really are a great help. Thx again!
I can't install CWM. I know there's that recovery installer apk but my transformer says there was a problem parsing the package. I don't know of any other way. I also tried unrooting my tablet by flashing a WW stock rom and stock recovery but Superuser stayed and it doesn't even work. It's basically all messed up. Can someone help me please?
Since you went back to stock ROM, do wipe data from boot menu and root again with Vipermod, and then try running the recovery installer apk.
What firmware are you on? That message is either a bad download or your firmware is not compatible with the apk.
Now you also say you flash WW ROM and stock recovery, how did you flash it without cwm?

Yeah you flashed the repacked ROM. That's pretty outdated firmware. You need to manually update to the latest ICS (if it doesn't auto update), use ViperMod to root and RecoveryInstaller for CWM.

How do I manually update? Is that when you go into settings and stuff and check to see if you have the latest software? Cause I do that and it says that I already have the latest version.
I tried updating manually but it didn't work. I guess I should include that I tried deleting the superuser files from /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su. I deleted the one in the xbin because there wasn't one in the bin. It's still messed up.
Ok, so i installed rom manager to install CWM, then i used odin to flash CWM touch, and it passed, rebooted phone fine, but when i enter recovery its the stock recovery, not CWM, any idea?
I cannot provide insight on why Odin did not successfully flash the CWM recovery as I have not flashed anything but official software with Odin but I highly reccommend using the app in the playstore called GS3 E Z Recovery to flash a custom recovery (after you have unlocked of course).
This is the cleanest way to do it IMHO.

Because there are two scripts that need to be renamed. They replace the custom recovery with the stock recovery on every reboot. They are
System/recovery-from-boot.p
System/etc/install-recovery.sh
These need to be renamed with
.bak added to the end of them. Then u can flash CWM with odin and it will stick once u boot up.
You can also flash CWM and not let the phone boot up and then mount /system and use adb to rename the files. Whatever works best for you.

Why did you use Odin if you already used Rom Manager? Rom manager will completely take care of recovery for you. Like others, I've only used Odin to go completely back to stock.
Open Rom Manager, and click the top "flash cwm recovery" for the regular version, or even better click the flash cwm touch version (donate like 1.99 I think). Done
And FYI, there are lots of problems with ez-recovery versions....I'd stay away from it for now.....

There's no issues with EZ Recovery that I've run into. Its the EZ-Unlock that the newest versions don't work right, you have to use 1.2.
OP, here's the link to the latest CWM Touch that can be flashed with EZ Recovery(I just did it yesterday and it worked fine) https://www.dropbox.com/s/aqnnl5j8xc2u0ah/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.2-d2vzw.img
I agree with brian, use ez recovery to flash recovery of choice. Stay away from rom manager or any of those apps until you have a better idea of what your doing.
