Thanks management

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374
if you installed rom manager delete it and take the update.zip from krylons thread and put it to the root of your sd card..
*Note*
Newer kernels dont require this as cwm is built directly into the kernel..

I just got done reading this thread about not using Rom Manager EVER on the SGS4g, so I went ahead and used it and my phone boot loops now....what gives? I figured that it may work with a vibrant ROM as I heard it works on the regular galaxy s, so I Odin back to stock, reinstalled Rom manager and flashed cm7 for the vibrant...now my phone won't even boot...what gives? Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? It's almost like Rom manager doesn't work on this phone or something. Someone should make a step by step guide for flashing this phone...you know, like an SGS4G Bible.

That would be freaking awesome if this helps.... however people would have to read BEFORE using their "knowledge" of all things android.

Yeah stickies. Bet it still gets asked twenty times a week though.

What consequences will have installing Rom Manager?
What if I installed it but didn't use it?
I'm experiencing a lot of crashes and reboots and maybe I've finally found the reason.

If you installed it and didn't use it, no problem.
If you used it to 'install', then you earned a one way trip to using Odin to get everything back.

Raver, if you don't mind could you please make the title have capital letters and not lowercase like it does. There is no reason for it other than everytime I open the forum, it bugs me. Also, what is up with the "bold" html command ""?

I wonder what goes through other peoples heads when they decide hey I'm going to root my phone and install a custom Rom. I mean the first thing I did was a Google search on how to root SGS4G. That lead me to XDA. Then I found the actual SGS4G forum and began searching for guides. This was the same process for my MT3G and my G1. I don't understand why people would just grab Rom manager and assume it's a cure all. Boggles the mind.

that works out fine if the first thing you get led to is xda, but if you are unlucky like me then you end up at joe schmoe's tech blog or something similar and they tell you that any android phone can be "hacked" with superoneclick and rom manager. thats where the true issue lies, imo: that not the sites state the same info and most of that is wrong.

Thanks raver!

+1 Sure there were multiple sites related to the subject, which is why you take a little bit of time to examine more than one. I know I didn't just click the first option and run with it.

This post got me thinking. We have the SGS4G Bible but apparently it can be a little overwhelming and too much information for some people to digest before they start modding their phones.
Keeping the biblical theme maybe a simplified "SGS4G TEN COMMANDMENTS" that contain the ten most common questions and answers, noob mistakes, and does and don'ts in one place. Simple, easy to read, and easy to refer people to. For example...
Commandment 1: DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER...EVER!
Commandment 2: DO NOT FLASH VIBRANT ROMS....EVER! - THE SGS4G IS NOT A VIBRANT!
etc, etc....you get the idea.
Any thoughts?

installation issues

Does anyone know what programs I need to install roms. And kernels on this infuse by Samsung..also how do you do it? I really need someone to tell me how with full detail! Is it to much to ask without someone sending me a stupid link?

Don't complain about "stupid links." Surprisingly, people don't want to take the time to explain things that have already been explained. Look in the development section, look for infused 2.2.3. There is a detailed guide on how to initially flash a custom kernel then install roms.

I bought my infuse with zero android experience and was flashing custom roms with in 2 or 3 days. All I did was search, read and educate myself. The rescources are everywhere, you will save time and learn more and get a custom rom installed faster if you do like thousands upon thousands of us have done before you... Search.
I dont want to sound like an ass, i know where you are, cause i was there once to... But if you cant figure out how to flash a rom on your own, considering the countless threads, videos and rescources, then maybe you are safer sticking with stock. Cause when you do brick your phone, you will again have to figure out how to fix it.
In the time you posted and waited for a reply you could have figured it out on your own.

Don't want to sound rude or mean, but this is one reason many many devs are leaving the infuse forums -- people unwilling to read, being impatient and being pushy.

We're just saying you cluttered our forum with one thread, we answered you, then you went and made the EXACT same thread a couple hours later.
We tried to help. You ignored it and then in this thread you complained about the type of help we gave you.
We can't hold your hand through the process, you have to read, watch the vids.
And you say you did read. Then why don't you have CWM, I literally walked you through it step by step in your other thread.
I'm just saying I didn't even post my first message till I had already successfully flashed my first rom.

Rogers s2 LTE?

Sorry to bother anyone, hate asking questions cause I always get people making me feel stupid for asking.
Anyways, I am on rogers with a Samsung s2 lte. I some how made did a root and flash, I'm running space pirate.
Was just wondering if I can choose any rom for an s2 or does it have to be rogers s2?
Any help well be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I think u can choose any rom from this section( skyrocket) since they are exactly same phone. Also you can flash the T-Mobile version too by using conversion pack
Sent from my SGH-I727R using xda premium

All the roms made for the skyrocket will work on the rogers one, but you should be flashing a rom built using the rogers rom. I've been using TPC V3 Rogers based and its been working quite well.

Tpc v3? I stumbled around and got space pirate on my rogers. It doesn't have the r at the end anymore, so far its been running fine
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Blindeye, you should be able to flash any rom in the DEV section. Although I will just give you a heads up that there will from time to time be AT&T items loaded into your phone. So far Ive had a small handful of AT&T contact numbers added into my contacts. BUT so far I have only flashed a single rom that has faux kernel built into it. (Sky Ice Cream Sandwich) by Seanzscreams.
~PsyCl0ne

Are all of you guys from Rogers?? I think it might be your network or phone because none of us att ppl have this issue. At least i never heard of it yet.

I'm actually getting replies, last time I just got guys giving me **** for posting.... ha.
Nice to see, and thanks
Am new to the flashing world, I've done it twice with cyanogenmod on captivate and space pirate on s2 rogers. Worked fine but still get nervous when doing it... ha.
Am now attempting a dell streak which has like a 20 different ways to get a custom, trying not to pull my hair out and going cross eyed from reading so much forums... ha.
Thanks for the responses, I wanna try another one, was thinking tpc or an ics one.
No problems yet on the space pirate. Just now my cell reads sghi727 instead of sghi727r, only thing I've noticed.

You can just try to flash all kind of roms from the development section. I am currently using ics rom but mixing different theme for myself. You can't really say which rom is better, it is all depend your taste.
I also have the dell streak 7 too. Actually it wasn't really that hard to flash rom. It is just a bit more work than samsung(you know...all samsung phones are like flashing machine XD)

Just a suggestion faux123 kernel runs best with really good battery life and it will go with any rom except cm7 or MIUI they have their own kernel and da_g has the kernel.

Flashing just the kernel? Was thinking about trying out the tpc for rogers, downloaded it and its like 400 MB, that's big isn't it? Isn't really any instructions so I assume I just do it through clockwork mod, dunno if I have to wipe anything, didn't see any exact instructions.
As well is there a place I can find a rogers stock rom to put back the way it was? Also can I just use clockwork?
Any help well be greatly appreciated, as I'm still Leary of flashing and stuff... ha
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Yes flash tpcV3 and don't flash faux123's kernel because the combo that tpc has for you guys is best with amazing battery life. And when you are noob that's when my guide comes handy so here it is on how to flash rom.

Noob to SGS4G for T Mobile...

Okay people I just bought this phone and I'm coming from MyTouch 4G. I've been reading for the past 2 days about how to flash a SGS4G and honestly,..it's crazy! Little overwhelming to be Honest...to the point, I rooted my phone with Superoneclick, I have superuser, so I know it's rooted. Plus, I have Titanium Backup running on my phone. Everything is still FACTORY SET on the phone. It is running 2.2.1 Froyo. I did read about Froyo udate zip CWM and recovery and have downloaded them. My question is since I want to flash A Rom does it have to be Froyo only? If there is such a thing?? Or can it be Gingerbread 2.3.6? And is there anything else I need to download? I know I have to follow to the tee on the OP that the Dev. says to do. I just want to be sure exactly what I need to do..

The gb ext4 starter pack saved me alot of headache when I first got this phone. Hands down it is the best way to go. Just make sure you follow the directions exactly. Its guides like this and the people that make them that make XDA so great.

I'm new to it as well and like you are saying, it's overwhelming to root and flash on this phone. But I followed the GB starter pack the other day and included the Vahalla Final rom as my choice and everything worked great. Some things actually happened a hair different than described and I thought it screwed up but it worked.
But I think I just screwed up trying to do a restore

Most will tell you if you want a rom ported do it yourself. The devs are working on what they are working on. It isn't really our place as end-users to make request (my opinion of course) rather be grateful for all the awesome **** they have done and are working on. So no... it isn't easy.
And yes --> We have some fantastic ROMS.

Flashed rom via clockwork BRICK...PISSED!!!

So just being bored, i decided to flash a t-mobile rom, via clockwork rom manager, now the skyrocket wont even power on. So thanks Rom Manager for the bricked phone, Bad Buisness....

First sorry to hear that man. Ive never trusted rom manager to flash, I always use clockwork mod. Have you tried pulling the battery and try to get into download mode?

Why would you blame ROM Manager for your mistake?
A. Anytime you flash anything (even if its the correct ROM flashed the correct way (CWM)) you always assume responsibility yourself.
B. You flashed a T-mobile ROM on your AT&T Skyrocket. If done right, it usually works, but it still adds extra risk.
C. You said you were "just messing around". Anyone that doesn't want a bricked phone should take flashing or modifying anything serious...not just messing around.
D. Most of the ROMS you are supposed to flash on the SkyRocket give detailed directions in the OP. Any I have sen all say to use CWM and give great instructions.
I don't see how any of this is ROM Managers bad business? Hopefully this will be a good tale of precaution for others before they brick their phone not paying attention. Sorry to hear about your phone, but take the blame for yourself...not ROM manager.

Thanks. I'm not trying to give the guy a hard time. He just bricked (atleast soft-bricked) his phone so I'm sure he really is pissed. But blaming an app for it when it isn't the apps fault starts alot of confusion. If something really is wrong with an app, we all need to know about it so it can be tested / fixed/ avoided / reported / etc...If the fault is with the phone's owner than the phone's owner needs to take responsibility for the problem and stop blaming the creators of useful apps (and ROMS) for the problems.

It bricked because ROM manager doesn't recognize the recovery on the skyrocket. It's something in the first line of the app.
Although, I might agree with you and blame ROM manager also if it let you flash a ROM while it couldn't detect a recovery. That's just straight up ****ty oversight on the developer.

Never use ROM manager to flash roms on the skyrocket

NexusMod 4.0

But it does not do that. U have to let it install the T-Mobile gs2 recovery to flash anything

Well of course its my fault...i have flashed the kang Roms from there and a couple other ones...i am aware of the risks..ive been programming for years....but goddam a hard brick!! WTF. ...phone won't even power up....so i will fix it any...and maybe sell..i just went and got a Note..lol

The note is toooo big to be a primary phone. You may not be happy if you are gonna use it that way. Good luck...

i honestly love it, i had bought my wife one and she loves it, it fits my hands perfect. It operates almost identical to the skyrocket, will post later about battery, comparable to a stock Skyrocket i would imagine, but i cant wait to get my root on, sKyrocket is still my favorite.... most powerful phone out hands down! I am so pissed that it bricked that way what a bunch of crap....definetly best to stay away from clockwork rom manger download section...(KICKING MYSELF) oh...I know how to use thats not what happend..but it was a new rom i had not seen..cant even remember the name...thats what i get for not reading up on it more...So for all the noobies out there...
read...read...read..and then if u dont get it read it again!!...ahhh f_ck my life...lol..might fix it then donate

Try Samsung first. Tell them it just derped one day when you tried to turn it on. If they believe you, it might take a week or two but you'll get another phone. Samsung will just fix it and give it to the next person that has a warranty replacement as a "referbished" unit. They won't lose money and you will get a new phone. That is if they believe you.

still a 200 dollar deductible..i could probably smoose out of it...but i would actually like to fix it my self..just for the experience.....oh and the Rom was called Ziggy and Mobstergunz..(minimal triumph.v1.02..state away from that ****
