Ensure you have root first!!!
MOD EDIT: POSTERS ARE REPORTING THERE ARE HAVING A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THIS GUIDE, THREAD CLOSED.
Use SuperOneClick 1.7 to gain root (USB debugging enabled) Get it here:
1. Download "3e_recovery_installer.zip" from here:
2. Open SuperOneClick and run Shell Root with your phone plugged in. Once finished, close.
3. Now run the 3e Recovery Installer. When finished, close.
4. Now flash ClockWorkMod Recovery via ROM Manager by selecting "Vibrant" when asked for phone type. Then reboot into recovery. (You may need to reboot your phone if you get stuck on the ROM Manager "Reboot to Recovery" screen) (Just reboot, then attempt to reboot into recovery again)
5. At the blue recovery select "reinstall packages". The first time will fail, run it once more, and you should now have the green CWM Recovery menu.
6. Wait for Team Whiskey to release an amazing ROM!!!

Power down your phone. Power it back up and try again. Mine did the same thing at first.

nevermind, work third time. had to completely reboot, then reinstall recovery through rom manager. Then reboot into recovery, then reinstall packages twice. Good to go. Thanks!
Well I guess one good thing came out of me doing what I did to my phone was able to tell you how to do this lol

I'm getting this error.
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
Can't mount /data/!"
so this is a confirmed method to get rom manager / clockwork working for the SGS4G?
i must be doing something wrong because i keep getting failed.. but i am following the instructions to the T..
Just letting you know, this will NOT work. The 4G has a different partition structure than the Vibrant. CWM will need to be built for the 4G due to it not having a internal sd like the Vibrant. Once CWM does come out for the SGS4G please let me know. I already have Bionix Frost ready to go for it, and will have Black Ice ready this week.

Did you install NV flash? If you did so then simply press volume down and power until you see a list full of android apps and wipe factory/data, dalvick cache and battery wipe. Then reflash the rom. Most likely it was just a bad flash. If the rom still won't load then its also possible that the rom file never fully downloaded properly to your phone or computer.

Welcome on board to android! I'm pretty sure its something that you might just be overlooking. I recommend watching a few YouTube videos to help you get a better understanding on what to do. Type in something like "how to flash a rom". With all androids the method of flashing a rom is pretty much universal. Rooting methods aren't though.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
This is the second ROM I am putting on. I already did the "leaked" gingerbread. I have heard so much positive about the CM7 I figured I would check that out. Also heard about something called eaglesblood. Dont know how different that is from CM7. I"ll get it going on. Should I always wipe the dalvik and battery when installing a new rom?
Shoot it did the same thing. What the hell am I doing wrong. It wasnt this hard doing the leaked gingerbread one LMAO.
Download the ROM again (may have had a bad copy).
wipe the data, then the cache.. then go into advance, wipe the dalvik. push the rom. Then hit 'fix permissions' in the advance menu. reboot.

I'll give that a shot LOL. Didnt add the fix permissions in there. Have already re-downloaded the ROM. Guess I should just pony up and buy the premium Rom manager thing so I can do this OTA instead of computer to sd card blah blah blah. Thanks again for all of the help.
chances are, you'll want the gapps on there too. Latest is available here (at the top, the 20110613 version) - http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
You after you do the wipes, push the rom, then push the gapps right after, fix permissions, reboot.

ya, the gapps file goes in the same place as the rom. There is not a need to rename the file, use the file just as it was downloaded - just like the rom. Just do all the wipes.. push the rom, push the gapps file, fix permissions, reboot.
goin to bed.. you'll get it this time..
IT's ALIVE.....IT'S ALIIIIVE....MANY Thanks to both of you. Now let's see how this rocks compared to stock.
Just in case other have the same problem, i always format system in the mount section, when going back to a gingerbread from froyo. just a thought.
Thanks Sabo. I will keep that in mind. So far this kicks the crap out of stock. Even my signal is better. I'm getting reception in parts of my house that I didn't before

My Verizon Galaxy S3 had been stuck at the Verizon boot screen. Booted into recovery mode, reset the data, restarted, and, after about 10 seconds of hanging it went ahead and booted. Thanks!
I should follow up.
I did the same finally. reset my data despite my fear. My SD card data was left unharmed so i was able to use the rom on there to load and it worked like a charm.
Again my apps were removed and system settings were all gone but that is what it takes to load the ROM.
On a separate note i went from ICS to CM 10.0, i am running the Apex Launcher and i cant express how much i like it better than the stock ROM. there are a few things that hang and crash but for the most part it is worth the improvements.
Was gonna give TWRP recovery a try... I am currently using CWM and didn't know if it would be safe to just use the goo app and flash TWRP that way. I have always used CWM and wanted to try something new and just want to be safe when going about it.

Yes you can install TWRP any way you like. One recovery will simply overwrite the other. Nothing to worry about.
My only brick
The one time i ever truly bricked a phone after close to 30 times rooting and unlocking boot loaders was with TWRP and this phone. I am talkin complete brick, like qualcom drivers request show up on windows brick, the kind brick that you just throw at a window, because you got no charging light, no vibration, no light what so ever.
Btw i was only flashing a rom
I never touched TWRP after .
Thanks for the input guys..... Gonna stick with CWM for now. Seen a fair amount of negative stuff towards TWRP in the forums and don't want to risk anything.

Seconded.
Used the gooapp to flash twrp and haven't had any problems. In fact I switched over from cwm because while installing liquidsmooth cwm kept giving me error 7. Everything I googled told me it was a problem with my recovery, so switched to twrp and presto
Although watch which version of twrp because I was reading the Cleanrom lite thread and ppl were having issues with the latest twrp at the time of their postings. It was around end of September that they were saying this, I believe.

I used to use cwm and now have been using twrp and have never had a problem. This guy above you can't blame twrp for your brick you don't know if that's what it was. Twrp I like better cause I can move my backup folder and copy it even to another computer. Cwm has the blob folder which you can't see which files belong to which backup so you can't just move one backup you have do do them all

Don't know what you were looking out but CWM is the one where the wipes/format are on different pages. All wipe options in TWRP are on the wipe page right next to each other. Newest version now released.
Someone please help, my G2X is in a bootloop. I was installing a ROM in CWM Recovery v5.0.2.0 and as it was nearing completion and it automatically quit and took me back to the beginning of CWM. So this is where I think I messed up, I hit reboot system now. It rebooted, showed the LG logo and took me back to CWM. It does this everytime. How do I get out of this bootloop? Please help! I have no phone until my HTC One comes, and it's on backorder unfortunately..

Use the ROM for recovery or cleanup batch. Make sure to backup data from internal SD card.
