D2G recovery help - Droid 2 Global General

I've recently got a d2g for overseas use and with rom manager it will only flash a very old version of cwr that wont even let me backup b4 I change roms so how can I flash cwr 3.x.x or 4.0.0? Sorry for the noob question I'm used to me hd2 and g2x

Forget about ROM Manager.

Thanks also this has probly been asked before but can I flash regulaur Droid 2 roms like the cm7 nightlies to my d2g?

This has been stated in every other topic.
Droid 2 Global is incompatible with Droid 2 ROMs. The only exceptions being, I think, Liberty and some other one (both can be patched for the A956 by that ROMer software).

Thanks. Its just that my main internet is down and its kinda hard to search with the xda app

Rom manager?

I remember reading a thread about installing the recovery through it, and it being unstable. Is this still the case? I'm still on the first release that came out with the soff tool.

[Q] Manually Updating CMR

Im running clockwork mod 2.5.0.7 and through rom manager ive tried updating to 5.something. However it never works, so, i have the .img file for the newest version. how do i update to it manually? Oh and i don't want to use adb.
thanks in advance
I'm guessing you flash it using CWR

a) You are missing the whole point of the development section.
b) there is a reason why a number of reputable members here still use cwm 2.5.0.7

the only reason im updating is because i want to partition my sd without using adb, but that isn't working out with 2.5
This is the first one for me that partitioning can be done from adb. I love this board as every day I learn something new.

Use gparted for your sd card...
Did u also see there is a Q & A SECTION?!?!?!

new to andriod/rooting. want to flash a rom.

I've got the rogers ver. of the hox. I did do the one click root so it is rooted. wanted to flash the "galaxy nexus" theme onto my phone but I dont know what to do. I'm not sure if theres a specific cwm for hox and if a "bootloader" is needed. If someone could help me get links to tutorials/programs that would be great. Thanks

So programs that were created for the at&t version can also be used for rogers? Thanks for the link.

Correct, rogers and at&t are interchangeable. Have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Rom manager question

When it asks for what device you're on it doesn't have the HOX on the list.
What do I choose?

DON'T USE ROM MANAGER!!!!
There isn't an official clockwork mod recovery for our device. BAD THINGS will happen (like a BRICK) if you install a recovery this way.
Fair enough.
I've been using twrp. Thought I'd see what I can do with rom manager since it came with the cm9 rom.

eventually (probably when we get source) Koush will add the One X to the CWM family. When CM9 leaves alpha and also gets added officially as a CM9 device you'll be able to use it and update CM9 with it.

[Humor][HOX EDITION] You know you're rooted when...

So I was bouncing around XDA and found this thread and thought it was pretty neat. Original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1571645 , and the original original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1561386
"I saw this thread in the Epic and Rezound forums and related to most of them.. so just post and complete this sentence "You know you're rooted when.."
Examples:
masaidjet: You know you're rooted when you tell a neighborhood hoe to " wipe her cache "
wscott9903: You know you're rooted when 1/2 of your apps require superuser permission.
feralicious: You know you're rooted when your spouse tells you they're leaving you and taking the kids and you think "perfect timing, (insert dev name here) just released a new ICS ROM".
jayochs: you know you're rooted when your phones buggy as hell lol
putney1477: You know you're rooted when, you husband, wife, significant other gets a new phone and says, don't you dare come near this phone, it works fine!
jackpot08: You know your rooted when when spend more time flashing roms than using your phone"
You know your rooted, when about mid cycle your data speed drops to below edge speed
I can relate to all of those.
