Regarding ROM Manager - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

For new people. It does not work on the sgs4g. It will cause issues. You will not get a working cwm recovery from it.

If on froyo 2.2 install cwm final by krylon360. Its in the dev section. You can make a backup in cwm recovery.

So how did u apply cwm final manually with update.zip ?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

If on froyo you have to download the moddified recovery.bin file and use a file explorer app to push it to the system/bin folder. Make sure that the file explorer app is set to r/w so the file sticks. Once you have that then put the update.zip file on your SD card and boot into recovery and hit reinstall packages. You could also Odin the Bali kernel. If in gb Odin one of the modded kernels Dr honk made.

the Bali kernel is a ZIP though, and Odin only does TAR

there is an odin version available. search for it in the development section

wow nice. found it and flashed it. freaking out at my phone telling me in sexy robot chick voice what it's doing. thanks man

No, you need the Clockwork mod in order to flash the update. Check out the CWM thread and it will explain how to set it up. Once you have clockwork, all you need to do is go into the Clockwork recovery and select the zip to flash it.

Yes, you do... you place the Update.zip in the root of your SdCard and then boot into Stock Recovery and select Reinstall packages (this will install the update.zip which is CWM Recovery)(U should check the Beta2 Thread for more info)
Oh sorry, I think I misread what he was asking.

I had issues with market and any version of KD1 (Odin/Heimdall or CWM version). Found out my extra 1500mAh battery was causing me headaches. Are you running the stock battery?

[Q] android secure?

I need help figureing out the solution to the android_secure issue. Its something on your sd card. I took my girlfriends sd card from her phone put ext-4,bionix,recovery, and update.zip on it and it worked flawlessly. So im pretty sure that it is a clockworkmod issue from rom manager because i put flash clockworkmod through rom manager over krylons. So i deleted the clockworkmod file and its still there. anyone have any idea as to where these files are saved
Man I have this problem and dunno what to do wiyh it huh
But
Even if u restart ull still have your apps restored

that might be it,
TO be completely honest its recommended that you format your sd and then move back all the important files you need that wont rebuild themselves back on from your sdcard backup
this and flashing with odin was the only way i got my back up and restore back from the CRUEL ROM MANAGER TORTURE
Well ill try removing the diskcache and ill let you know the outcome.
How do you format your sd card and are there any files you actually need to save

Modem flashing

Have been trying to change my modem for the last three days now no one hag actually explained thee process off flashing the modem just need someone to point me in the right direction thanks
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
flashing a modem is just like flashing anything else in cwm.
pick one up from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117331
put the zip file on your sd card root. go to cwm (im guessing you have the red cwm), go to install from sd card, choose zip file, choose whichever modem you want, flash it, go back, reboot. and you should be good.
Go to cwm make sure you mounts are good. mounts just to make sure unmount mount mount unmount. Then just flash the zip file of the modem you want. You can find the modems in the Bible thread.

Just so you know if you are running stock kernel you can't change the modem. You need Bali kernel if you didn't know. I had to learn the hard way to. Trial and error

Good catch. I keep going under the assumption that people have already flashed a custom rom with drhonk's bali kernel.

[Q] what recovery is use

for my phone i try the CWM from rom manager, but my recovery have the samsung recovery ? @[email protected]? and i has seen other talking bout cwd dont work and then im not sure but something call kG4 ??
i rooted my phone with the superone click but i cant get a recovery so i can flash ROMs on my phone ??
I recommend you to ODIN one of the customize ROM or KERNEL in the development session first to get the CWM ( most of the case it was integrated to the ROM or kernel) then you can flash any ROM you want.
Or use the cwm final thread in the dev section.

Yikes dude. Just follow the many guides on the Bible... It can't get any easier than those guides. Use Odin to get CWM via Dr. Honks kernel.

Cwm not working on 2.3.6 properly

Whenever I try to install a zip file in cwm, it says the installation has been aborted. And I know the zip file is a good one. Why isn't it reading my files?
I currently use rom manager and cwm 2.5.1.2 runs by default. At the bottom of the application, it offers to change the cwm edition. it offers 2.5.1.4, 2.5.1.3, and 2.5.1.1. When I select 1.4 or 1.3 it can not be downloaded. For 1.1 it can be, but when I boot into recovery, it only runs 2.5.1.2, which does not load any zip files. Do you think there might be a difference if I tried to download the touch cwm recovery? Or is there an entirely differnt recovery to use? I'd be Willing to pay a few dollars.
Also, when I open cwm, it says there is an update for clockwork mod recovery, but have no clue on how to actually update cwm.
Thanks

Go to ROM Manager and click on the top option. Pick i9000 to update your CWM.
I did try that and every time I do... it says the installation has been aborted. It makes it about 1/3 of the way on the progress bar then it is aborted for some odd reason.
All I want is to be able to flash

Why use Rom Manager at all? You could just use Heimdall to flash an unsecured kernel with CWM built into the one-click package. The first 2 posts in this thread will tell you how:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
I have read that maybe flashing a new kernel would solve the cwm issues. Just not sure exactly where to Get a decent one. I have the app sgs kernel flasher to help simplify the process as long as i have the kernel on my phone.
I'm new to the flashing sort, but have gotten used to cwm and don't want to abandon it. I have been success with it on other devices... just not with this infuse on 2.3.6

Entropy's dd kernel should work fine. There's a heimdall one-click for it too.

Is it red Cwm? Was it red? You need to get back to red if not.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I flashed entropy's kernel and cwm is now red. And by red, I'm assuming the letter colors?
It didn't say "error installation aborted" when I booted into cwm, which is a good sign. Haven't tried to flash a rom yet though. Pretty sure it will work now
Thanks
