What to use for Nandroid backup on the Skyrocket .... - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I am looking to buy Rom toolbox Pro or Rom manager to do a nandroid backup.
The problem I have is which one would be the best to buy for my Skyrocket.
I don't see the Skyrocket on the install list for either one.

Which rom manager do use recommend I buy?
No problems with bachups using a different phone?

Just get regular or paid Rom manager. Go to app>press on where it says flash ClockWorkModRecovery>Select T-mobile SGS2 aka t989> Flash cwm>Now to do back up you can either do it in Rom manager or CWM you choice. T-Mobile SGS2 and our phone is almost same so no problems.

Two recoveries?

After downloading the newest ROM manager from the market, it now looks like I have two recoveries installed. If I boot into recovery from ROM Manager, I get the new blue one (with int SD support). But if I boot from the power menu, I get the old one. Something tells me I screwed something up, and I'm not touching anything until somebody tells me how this is even possible. WTF did I do?

No problem there. ROM manager is only updated false flash rom. Old one is the nvflashed real one.

Ah. So is it safe to flash from either one? Having access to the internal SD would be a lot more convenient.
Also, is there a thread somewhere pertaining to this situation?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
There is an even better scenario...download the utility by tgagunmann in the development section, and flash the latest cwm, which allows both internal and external from boot recovery.

Alternative : If for Flashing ROM, we always have CWM which is reliable. For taking backups, you can use Titanium. Even CWM do a nandroid backup. Hope for these two features, you are looking for ROM manager.

[Q] ROM Manager

So I've been trying to find why ROM manager should not be used with this device and I just see that I shouldn't. I came from a MyTouch 4G where that or 4EXT were standard.
What symptoms does ROM manager cause?
I've noticed that any ROM I try to flash that doesn't use aroma installer fails at checking the update package. Is this one and how do I avoid it?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium HD app
Rom manager does not support our device so any recovery you flash is going to result in a bricked phone. It's just that simple. Even after installing the correct custom recovery, stay away from it because you won't find any compatible roms either. Not to mention that in order to flash a rom with rom mangler you first have to flash a recovery so it knows which roms to look for.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I have ROM manager on my phone already. Hasn't seemed to brick it yet. I just can't flash ROMs through it unless they are packaged with aroma. But wiping works fine.

How are you using it at all? Doesn't it prompt you to install a recovery?

He will learn.....soon to be a statistic,wanting to know how to unbrick his phone.
I'm more than prepared to fix a brick.
It flashes through the market app fine using the i9000(?) option. I can then reboot into recovery fine and flash/wipe/mount just fine. Though the model mismatch might also be causing the issue where I can't flash anything not packaged with aroma.

Your lucky flashing that recovery should have soft bricked your phone. This is not the i9000. That's the galaxy s international version of the phone. Then there's the t959 vibrant. And the t959w for wind Mobile. Which are all slightly different. Like i said really lucky. Sooner or later it's likely to burn you.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I know this isn't the I9000. Perhaps I should consider dusting off my coding knowledge and make a compatible recovery.
This phone is so much different than my old HTC glacier... -_-

We have cwm recoveries for the phone they just don't flash thru Rom Manager.

Given that CyanogenMod is dumping ROM Manager, it seems like energy could be better put elsewhere.

What I probably should have said is I don't believe our device I'd compatible but if you got it to work on an Infuse, that is great. MG2195 had done one for the Infuse but stopped when we went to JB.

now, when you say it doesn't let you register on the T-Mobile network, what do you mean? No bars? What rom, kernel, and radio are you using?
I would ask t-mobile if it was blacklisted not some random website if your worried about that and did you try a different sim card?

Well, this has happened to me before and a data/system/cache/dalvik format and then a reflash of CM 10 fixed the problem (IDK why but it did) Assuming you've already tried that I would flash back to a Samsung Official GB or ICS ROM and see if it works then.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RETURNING TO STOCK SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 OFFICIAL FIRMWARE
So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com
Download the PIT file here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above
then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ics to root it simply follow the instructions over at the root ics stock thread found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
This will flash a custom recovery and once the recovery is flashed using Odin reboot into recovery and flash the superuser.zip then you'll have Rooted Stock ICS Firmware
*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*
To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot or on custom recover wipe cache and dalvik cache reboot and you're good to go.
If I helped you in anyway don't be afraid to hit thanks!
