[Q] Does installing clockworld mod from rom manager need root? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hi.
Do i need to be rooted to install clockworld mod from rom manager?
Thanks.

You need to nvflash clockwork mod. Look in dev forums. Do not use from manager.

Do I need to be rooted for nvflash?
And also why cant I use rom manager for clockworld mod?

Nvflash is safer. Rom manager will not help if you brick your phone. It is a fake flash. Takes 5 minutes to do it the right way. No you do not need root.

Ok so far I already installed cm7.1, but I couldn't install the kernel because the one I wanted is currently unavailible. Can I install the kernel afterwards when it is availible even though I already flashed a new rom?
Thanks.

You can install a kernel later.

[Q] I really need help...

Im a bit confused...
I have worked with so many HTC phones, rooting those and installing CM7.
Now I have to do the same with a Samsung Galaxy S 4G of my cousin.
So right now I rooted the phone using SuperOneClickRoot v2.1.1.
Now I don't find a way to install a good ROM. I see CM7 don't support this phone. I have installed ClockWorkMod and it looks really rare in this phone, It don't have the options to backup, restore y install a zip.
So I come here asking you guys if there is a form of getting Gingerbread to this phone and How I can do it?
Thanks!

I think I installed it using Rom Manager, but It dont installed.
I just want to know how I can install a gingerbread on this Galaxy S 4G
Rom manager does not work with sgs4g. Go to dev section and find the thread cwm final by krylon360. That is how to get cwm recovery working.

[Q] what recovery is use

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.

Look at the Bible there is links for recovery on there.
There is one for froyo and one for GB.

Um... no. ROM manager does not work as had been stated over and over and over and over and over and over... Yet every day people use it and wonder what went wrong.

If people want to use ROM manager after being warned then
don't come back asking what is wrong with your phone.

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.

Can't get custom recovery

Hello I used super one click to get root.
I installed Root Explorer.
I know I have root because I get:
#
Then I type su and get
su
But when I try to open root explorer it doesn't prompt me su permissions.
Also ROM Manager won't flash recovery either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction

Download the app 'root checker' and use that to see if you really have root.

here, follow this video carefully... it has all the instructions and a root that includes recovery already on it...

I use the root checker and it told me that I didn't have root.
I ran Super One Click and did the test again and still the same results.
I can get to su in adb but still can use any app that requires root or flash CWM Recovery.
I am going to try the video method u sent me.
I will post results.
Hopefully I can install the Maximus Ginger ROM.

Finally Worked
Ok I followed the video tutorial and I finally got root and CWM.
I am now going to attempt to install Maximus Ginger...
If you guys want to use the same method I did download and use this:
http : // tinyurl. com/ Sidekick 4GALLin One
Delete all the space in between
Its an all in one Root and Recovery...
Hope this helps those who had the same issues as me...
Thank u all for your help...

Its actually 4.0.0.2 if you're going to be anal about it...
I'm pretty sure downloading cwm from rom manager doesn't flash a voodoo recovery (3.0.0.2).

ROMs wont install
Ok so now I have ran my SK4G through odin 5 times...Going on 6...
Root and Recovery work perfectly with that method...
But everytime I install a ROM I get stuck at the boot screen with my sidekick vibrating and restarting....
Everywhere I read it talks about the Mounts... Yes I know they are very important...
So I make sure they are what they are supposed to be when flashing the ROM...
But once the ROMs install it reboots automatically and I cant change the mounts...
I have tried both Smooth Maximus and Maximus Ginger, Lightning ROM, and Clean Fusion...
The same thing happens to me after I install any of these ROMs....
It always reboots after the installation...
Has anyone ran into this issue or can help me figure out what to do now...
Thanks Guys
i tryed both oneclick and this way allinone i am rooted but cant ger recovery to work i get
andriod system recovery samsung recovery utils but not clock works
Yes! Thanks! I've been trying to get root access on my dads phone since we got it, still don't know why SOC worked on my phone and not his, but this solved the problem, thanks!

After you use the All in One download ROM Manager.
Then Flash the SK4G Recovery through there.
For some reason you have to reboot into CWM recovery only by using ROM Manager.
If you reboot manually or through adb you are going to have to choose install packages then CWM Recovery will load.
I am still stuck with no custom ROM...
every rom that I install soft bricks my device and then I have to use odin to restore.
Does anyone know of a ROM that I can flash through odin that is nice like Smooth Maximus or Similar?
Thanks

Clockworkmod Recovery

Hi,
I have rooted my phone using superuser.
Now I want to install the jellybean ROM issued by Cynogen. For this, I need clockworkmod recovery.
I have searched alot but I can't find clockworkmod recovery.
Please guide me from where can I get it.
Thanks a lot

Have you tried installing GooManager and getting it through there? Otherwise, I installed a CM JB ROM just now on my Skyrocket using TWRP and that worked fine (I had been using CWM up to this point).
I did a simple search of "GT-I9000 CWM Recovery" and was linked to Cyanogenmod's wiki here.. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
:cyclops:
I have tried this, but it's not working. The heindal program is not reading the kernel file.

GT-I9000 CWM Recovery should have worked
tried the step on the recent post and worked for me too.....
You can download ROM Manager from the Play Store. It has an option built in to download and flash CWM.

[Q] GB to ICS (CWM)

I'm rooting for a friend and trying to figure out how to get a newer version of CWM but not finding the phone in Rom Manager...is there an equivalent to the SGH-T959V? If not, how do we go about flashing an ICS ROM with an old recovery?
Rom manager does not work with the sgs4g. If you need the newer cwm flash a kernel that has it.
