Hey all, just wondering if flashing stock, then putting a CWM update.zip on my SD card, and then going into CWM> Advanced SpeedMod> Root/Install Superuser would fully root my phone?
I always keep the cwm update.zip on my internel sd card. What I do is flash the clockwork recovery over the regular one then flash a custom rom but idk about rooting.

Why don't you just your try it? Worst case, it doesn't work.
I have rooted successful using that option in CWM. Do it.

ive done it too. it works awesome.
or you use odin to flash a kernel with CWM built in, then root using CWM. (yeah still works when built into kernel! installs superuser n everything!)
and remember if you have a kernel with CWM dont use rom manager!
Thanks people. Nice to know I can easily root like that without SuperOneClick or anything. And I've only used ROM Manager once, for my very first flash. Soon as I figured out it was unnecessary, I ditched it.

I got my phone rooted, was able to install rom manager using fascinate setting and when I try to backup a rom or install one it does nothing. It just tells me there was an error and does nothing. Please help.

ROM manager doesn't work with our phones. You wil need to flash the Custom recovery mentioned in that thread.
ok so i am planning to use the nvflash to flash clockworkmod and then cyanogen after all that can i overwrite the recovery with the 1 in rom manager because rom manger is easier to operate then to boot in to recovery and so on so is the rommanager recovery image stable and safe to use because ive been hearing that its bad and its temporary.
Never use rom manager on the g2x. Seriously, just don't do it. You'll get aids.

A lot of people will tell you nothing is wrong with it. The thing is it doesn't actually use the real recovery partition on any Tegra device. The recovery partition can only be written by NVFlash. Rom Manager flashes a fake (but mostly working) CWM to another partition. Issues can rise up if you have incompatible versions of CWM on each; you wont be able to use backups properly and other issues can pop up. If something happens to you Rom the Rom Manager flashed recovery goes with it. I just generally prefer to avoid Rom Manager on Tegra devices entirely.
The first time I flashed a from I used NVFlash but after that I used rom manager to boot into recovery when I was on gb now I'm running ics and I just hold down the power button click reboot>recovery and flash rooms from there and it works is this normal? Cuz I heard ur suppose to ALWAYS use nvflash

So which is it? If you're always doing Power button > Reboot > Recovery you are booting into the NvFlash'd CWM recovery not ROM Manager

You can also use ROM manager to boot to recovery, the reason people advise against using the app altogether is because the fake flashing that ROM manager does.
ROM manager will boot into nvflash recovery successfully as long as you never flashed the fake recovery via ROM manager.
So again, if you never flashed via ROM manager, then holding power>reboot recovery = going to ROM manager and booting to recovery.

Not that it matters, but I have always flashed both recoveries. It's not that Rom Manager "fake" flashes it, it isn't flashed on a persistent partition that can be reached via button combo. I use Rom Manager and it's "fake" recovery mostly for nandroids. In reality, there's literally 2 separate recoveries, albeit, one is worthless in any "no boot" situation. Other than that, it's fine to flash roms and what not, just always have both, never just R M.

Before I'm pretty sure I downloaded a rom and it didn't have rom manager so I downloaded it from the play store and went into recovery through that and flashed a rom? Or is that normal?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
That's fine, what we're all trying to explain is that if you mess up and your phone won't boot normally, you won't be able to recover it with the Rom Manager recovery since it is only accessible through a working a ROM. This is why we Nvflash it on a persistent partition that can be accessed regardless if you have a working rom or not. There's no difference between the two recoveries, only where they are flashed.

I agree. ROM Manager which should be named ROM Mangler has seriously messed up phones causing its victims many hours of panic and grief. Stay away from it.
Kinda off topic but if rom manager is so bad why is it included with custom roms? One of the first things i do is uninstall it with titanium backup

Because it can be used to boot into Recovery, and it is useful for the purpose of organizing backups
