I read the posts, but maybe I did not understand?
I downloaded CWM and installed via the Android Market. Then I see the icon is named ROM Manager (whoops, is this already bad). I hit the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" button. Then I used up/down volume and power to boot into CWM and did a backup from there.
So am I screwed?
Is the backup good?
Can I use the CWM that I have as long as I boot into it?
Please, I have not been able to understand exactly what the "DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER" means. If I just boot is that ok?
I guess you can tell I'm new but I have a lot of software experience - just not in this environment - maybe I'm moving too fast for my knowledge (I think so now!).

Funny, I just posted a very similar question just minutes before you in the FAQ thread.
Huge red letters "dont use Rom Manager!" but the first step for every rom or kernal seems to be "boot into cwm..."
I'm sure someone will point out how dim we are soon.

As you can see, CWM is included in the kernel you flash, and thus there is no need for ROM manager. It doesn't play nice with this device anyway, and is just unnecessary imo.
Use the recovery not rom manager itself...

So the OP is fine if he uninstalls Rom Manger even though he used it to flash CWM Recover? That seems a lot simpler then the cwm injected kernal method I just did.
Install rom manger, flash CWM, uninstall rom manger... flash roms all day. Would that work?

ROM MANAGER IS NOT CWM.
CWM is in the KERNEL (well, to be specific, in the initramfs of the kernel) on nearly all Samsung devices.
ROM Manager is an app that tries to install CWM, but FAILS to do so correctly on our device. CWM versions installed by ROM Manager DO NOT WORK PROPERLY on the I777.
ok heres the deal the cwm you booted into was probably rom manager cwm. so here are the next steps to take. question is are you using a custom kernel that has cwm installed? when you rooted your device did you have cwm installed? i also noticed you were using a skyrocket. when i rooted my wifes SR I did the all in one package. My opinion is just unistall rom manager and reflash cwm. then reboot into cwm and make a nandroid backup. although in theory your backup you did with rom manager is good forever unless you delete the file under /clockworkmod/backup.
miui+siyah = beast
OP, if you ****ed up probably the easiest step of the process(after all in one of the stickies it says DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER, as so), rooting your phone is not for you.
Either that or you're trolling.

Reading through this made me confused. But to the OP. Mod Manager is fine. You can use that to install CWM recovery. Just be sure to chose the T-Mobile SGSII version of CWM when it asks.
DO NOT USE ANY OF THE ROMS IN MOD MANAGER THOUGH. They are built for the SGSII phones. You can however use Rom Manager for all other options such as installing roms through SD, fixing permissions, and booting up into CWM, etc.

Using the stock kernel. I rooted with DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su. So I can do the uninstall and then reflash CWM. Do you have a URL handy for the reflash? Don't want to make another error.
and thanks, your reply is very helpful.

Probably the part about what else he's supposed to do. If I knew, I'd tell him. I assume he should read the whole thread in dev about how to get CWM installed through recovery but I'm just a novice. You might have been more helpful but I see that a lot of you are too busy hanging out in in dark closets having sex with your phones... tin foil hats and all. I know it's a pain answering the same questions over and over. I've provided support on a lot of boards and on a lot of subjects. When I got tired of typing the same answers, I started keeping them all in a text file so I could copy and paste them, links and all. That way, the info is spread all over the place and new users don't have to resort to finding the single "needle in the haystack." I know the L33T (do they still use that term? It's been about 20 years since i've seen it... probably for the good) love to repeatedly type "DO A SEARCH." Why not just help. If you don't want to and only want to maintain being L33T... do it elsewhere. You serve no function other than stroking yourself. I hate the "slam the noob" mentality. We were all one at some point. Merry Christmas.
The confusion here is that the OP posted this in the i777 forum. The i777 CANNOT use Rom manager to flash recovery and they have to use a cwm injected kernel.
The OP needs to learn where to read about his phone and remember what model he has.

I downloaded that file, but couldn't figure out what to do afterwards. I watched the mobile tech videos and it seemed that he was able to just click on the file and open the odin, while when I try to open it says "can't find application to open" after I extract it. Also I don't understand why I have to flash back to stock when I'm already at stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using XDA App
First download odin from this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Open it first and then point it to your rom image that you would like to use, you don't extract the file you have, it's ready to use as downloaded.
Please watch the videos again because you don't understand it yet and you're well on your way to a solid brick.
BTW using CWM with a .zip is easier then Odin IMHO, and can be done completely from your phone, no computer needed, it will also let you know if you have the three button recovery ( very important if something goes wrong ).
Read, read and read some more. Flashing a rom is not hard but it does have to be done correctly. If you want an almost guaranteed result you'll do the homework and learn something. I've only been here a while and rarely do I see a question that hasn't been answered 50 times already, your answers are here, go look for them and you'll pick up other things you will need to know when you decide to be a bit more adventurous with setting your phone up JUST like you want it.
Thanks for the information, it looks like I got lots of work to do.. The link you sent me has a broken Odin link on the other side, do you have a mirror or some sort so I can get the file? Also my final question is that since I have a Rogers Captivate I need to JL1 file not a J16 right? I've looked everywhere but couldn't find an answer to this... Thank you.

do you want to install a custom rom?? like phoenix or cog? if you are already rooted, just install clockwork mod and flash it to phone... then reboot into recovery and choose install zip from sd card... then select 'choose zip from sdcard'. then find the zip of the rom you want to install. I'm a rogers user and I've flashed all the latest roms (currently using andromeda 2.0). Never needed odin.
oh I see thanks, I've tried flashing Cognition via ROM manager with no success. I had Cognition on my SD card, installed and flashed the Clockwork mod and then selected "install ROM from SD card". From their it makes me select my ROM and then after I do it takes me to recovery mode. From here I select Reinstall packages and it says something like "Can't verify file" in red writing and aborts installation. I've always thought that maybe since I skip the whole "flashing ODIN" step that's why it's not working but obviously that's not the case. Do you know why it's not working for me? Thanks for the help.
are you running rogers 2.2 update? it has 3e recovery and will not allow zips to be flashed.
if that's the case, you will need odin3 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625
then put a new kernel in the PDA section. I used the tar file listed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870760
then with your phone powered off, sim card and memory cards out (put back cover on so the battery doesn't fall out) hold 2 volume buttons and plug in usb... should go to download mode. then hit start.
boot up will take a bit while voodoo formats ext4 on your files. after that, you can go into recovery mode and flash zips from sd card

I installed Rom Manager and I want to make a backup and it prompts me to choose a phone model. I'm confused.
as far as i know rom manager does not yet support the g2x so i would not be using it just as yet.
considering CWM isnt even in a final version for the phone, dont see how you're expecting to use rom manager.

Well fit got a very simple system ...
no bootloader problem nothing locked ...neither the recovery is integrated with kernel !!
so to get a custom rom...
jus upgrade to a Gb rom.(Download a firmware from sammobile.com and flash via ODIN)
Using Odin(a Windows Tool) Flash the Cwm .
then using CWM flash as many custom roms as you want !!
well, that's good to know.. but I have a problem
I do remember seeing Kies when my dad got my phone, but right now, it's not showing up on the app drawer. And the Play Store isn't showing up either
Almost no apps were installed since we got the phone, and it's only been used for calling and the occassional texting

In the future, try to search around first to see if you can find a solution. If not, post your question and what you HAVE found out, as senior members will be more inclined to help u.
Only difference between our phones and the at&t version, is as u said, the "r". Once u have cwm installed, u are more than welcome to flash any rom in the development section. As previously stated however, the one click Odin leaks for design gears have some kind of firmware check, and won't work on our devices.
Also, when someone helps u, press their thanks button! :-D

It doesn't need rooted to flash roms. It just requires CWM, the custom recovery. Then you can flash a custom rom, since they are already rooted for you

Odin works fine for Rogers phones. Things such as flashing back stock tars and recoveries work fine. What doesn't work is the ONECLICK odin's from the ICS leak designed for the regular i727. This is because it checks the model # and because we have an (r) at the end it wont work. There are plenty of great roms to flash. Just use odin to flash CWM and then install any rom you want.

Well I got the sgh-I727r rooted. Installed Rom Manager,just to get CWM installed. 2 questions..If I back up the original ROM then do a "wipe" will I loose the B/U file.

It will not wipe internal sd(emmc). It will only do that if you format emmc.
Just don't wipe the internal SD card and you should be fine

Sounds like you have the cord plugged in. Don't.
Hold volume up, down and power. Release power when Samsung logo appears but stay holding volume buttons until cwm pops up

Step 1) From the root of your android device tree:
Code:
mkdir -p .repo/local_manifests
curl http://teamacid.github.com/manifests/sgh-t959v/TWRP/twrp.xml > .repo/local_manifests/twrp.xml
Step 2) Wait for noiphonehere to update his tree to include my commit, the sync your device tree to match his
OR (for the impatient)
Cherry pick my commit yourself:

Is it more of a personal preference or is TWRP better then CWM?
Edit .... is this simply to allow users to switch to TWRP if I build with CWM?
Have you guys heard of 4ext touch recovery?

TWRP includes a file manager in recovery, so if something goes horribly wrong and you need to replace a required init.d script file, you can actually do it without needing a computer for your ADB.
It also looks pretty. And is touch friendly. Friendly touch. Good touch. Mhmm.
But it's the file manager that makes me choose TWRP over CWM any chance I get.

According to what its developer says at http://www.4ext.net/status_update.php we're unlikely to ever be supported.
Unlikely:
Older Samsung devices like:
Samsung Galaxy SII
Samsung Galaxy Note

Maybe we should focus on recovery options that actually work for our phone?
I was asking if you have ever heard of it. I wasn't asking for it

For all your file managing needs
i've used it. it's nice.
TWRP will be pretty awesome
I tried CWR Touch on my friends SGS2 and its a bit buggy. CWR is ok but TWRP makes it easier and has a file manager too!
It already is. If things go to plan tonight I might have a present for you guys .
@FBis251: Yo man, , sr that I thought u asked how was the TWRP kernel flashing man so I told u it was normal but just after flashing a ROM via TWRP, I knew what u asked It couldn't flash properly (or mayb just my compile got this not yours ^^)

After using your kernel, TWRP wouldn't backup or flash anything. Gonna go back to stock and work my way back up because I can't flash anything with CWM in it.

Whoa weird. I've been able to restore/backup properly on mine. I need to mess around with the cm10.1 based version of it since all of my testing has been on team acid's aries cm9.
The JB kernel might be adding problems to TWRP, but on ICS it's still working fine, even flashing noiphone's cm10.1 build worked from TWRP.
Yeah I ran in to this last night trying to back and flash a new ROM. I could restore from an old back up, it was fine until it reached the recovery part then it freaked you out.
I had to one click.

Okay I know exactly what you mean and was able to replicate the issue. I'll try to see what's going on behind the scenes for this since a boot.img restore should only take a second or two when you recover from a backup.
Something about color/overlay image could not be applied (something like that) in adb shell adb logcat when u go into recovery with twrp.
