I root my phone, installed CWR v5, and then flashed CM v9 3.4. I have the premium Rom Manager but when I open it it says that I need install CWR. Should I have Rom Manager install CWR again? Is that safe?
..
I can confirm that. I used a modded CWM first which wasn't recognized by ROM Manager, so I let it flash again. But I found it a bit anoying that I had to reflash as someone might want to stick with the modded version. But in the end it doesn't really matter, I guess.

You can stick with your modded version. In RM just hit Menu and choose Manual Flash Override.
Thanks jesusice, I didn't know that!

Hey,
I'm new to Android, and still pretty bad with it, so when I set out to flash a custom rom last week, I never bothered to setup a backup. I didn't think it was going to be as complicated to get back to the way it was when I took it out of the box. I guess I'm still use to the iPhone. Now, I'm not completely happy with my phone and am looking to go back to stock.
I've looked in to it, and it seems easy enough, but I just have a couple of questions:
Pre-CM7 I'm pretty sure my phone was GRI54, and i9020, It's now GRI40. Does this make any difference?
And, finally, where can I download an official version of this?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

I've downloaded the i9020a one, but when I'm trying to update it it's saying "Installation aborted". I tried doing it from clockwork mod - and I don't know anything about it. Do you know where I'm going wrong here?

Sorry, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I've tried using that zip a few times (286d814dee5b.signed-sojua-GRJ22-from-GRI54.286d814d.zip 12mb) and it says install failed.
I boot into recovery, factory reset, wipe cache, install zip from sd card, pick the file, agree.
Have you checked the MD5 hash to ensure the download isn't corrupt?

yes, the default for all stock 2.3.4 roms will restore the recover back to stock on each reboots you have to rename/delete the install-recover.sh script to prevent it from happening

Sorry? I have to delete the files to keep clockwork from being removed?
All I did was flash it, restart, and clockwork was still there.
Also, my phone's internet speeds seem really slow now. Could this be from now having a different build? (GRI54 -> GRJ22)
Sorry for my complete lack of knowledge. It's quite obvious I jumped into something that's much over my head.

A stock rom has the script. So flashing it will also restore stock recovery. If the rom you installed does not restore the recovery partition, the the rom was not completely stock.

I've never used it myself.
Looking over the zip file, the script has been renamed, so it's not 100% stock.
Normally you would need to root the phone to change the file name.
Perhaps renaming the file in the zip will correct the issue?
try renaming /etc/install-recovery.sh.bak to /etc/install-recovery.sh and re-apply the zip. ( no need to wipe )
That rom was posted by dsixda, he may be able to confirm what needs to be done.
If you had root, it would be fairly easy to rename it.

This doesn't seem to work. It does gets you back to stock rom but I still have the old modem I flashed, old APN, CWM Recovery and still there and factory reset doesn't works. Just hangs with the little Android guy and an exclamation mark.
Is there something like ODIN for Nexus S to go back to stock?

This should work:
http://android.grdlock.net/index.ph... S&PHPSESSID=9dc0c107b878587d1e0b21ec1e3130ef
This should bring you to stock 2.3.3 for the i9020a
Then apply the official patch:
http://android.clients.google.com/p...5b.signed-sojua-GRJ22-from-GRI54.286d814d.zip
This will then bring everything to stock 2.3.4 with proper baseband and recovery
Tried to Flash a Gingerbread rom, and now when I go into recovery mode, it says Can't open /cache/update.zip and that's all I'm able to do with it. I can't factory reset it or wipe it or use rom manager to flash a different rom. Any ideas of what I can do? Appreciate it.

How did you install CWM recovery? Did you use rom manager or did you do it the proper way with NVFlash?
I used Rom Manager. I wasn't sure how to set up the NVFlash.. Or I couldn't understand it properly. Which I knew was my mistake. And a horrible one.

Hi,
Did you install 4.0.1.4 or 4.0.1.5 ?
4.0.1.5 has some known issues.
4.0.1.4 is on my sig
Isn't it time they "officially" did a 4.0.1.6 with the charging issue fixed, this 4.0.1.4/4.0.1.5 confusion gets someone every day it seems.

Just ignore it, I guess it's RM standard procedure. Don't update it if you don't want to have the buggy 4.0.1.5 version. Mine is 1.4 but RM still says it's 1.5.
They cant release a updated version because they dont even know why the hell people are finding one to work and not the other, while others find the converse to be true.
.4 charged my phone, but with no LED lit and I had to do a battery pull to restart the phone. Booo...
.5 works, 100% for me. Just like you would expect the phone to work. This is true for some, and false for others. No one has a clue why, so they cant fix anything yet. They are too caught up in ROMs rather than basics. If you mention it, they breath fire down your neck and call you a heritic. They then scold you for not bowing down and kissing @ss of the developers. Funny thing is, the developers never say how they feel, its the OTHERS that jump in the way and flame you until a MOD comes to put the fire out with a locked thread. Some forum, huh?

This is NOT true for everyone. The truth is, is that MORE THAN LIKELY one or the other version will be the one for your phone, but NOT both.
The true way to know is to attempt to charge a battery with enough charge left to boot up your phone in the event you chose the WRONG one for your phone's special needs.
Turn off phone, no fastboot. Charge phone for 30mins or so. Try to turn the phone back on and see if your battery % went up. If not, try the other version.

Whats wrong with ROM manager? I am asking as a "noob" because to me, it looks superb. Although, I just have used it to get CWM .5 (which works 100% for my phone) as well as to backup my current ROM and fix permissions.
Is there something that us "noobs" should know about it?

I prefer the older way of doing things manually . Justed wanted to try out RM as everyone is going ga ga over it.
ROM Manager does not recognize this as an "official" alternate recovery, but you can flash it using this workaround.

1. Open Superuser and "Forget" ROM Manager.
2. Open ROM Manager, and Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
3. After it downloads, it'll ask for superuser. Uncheck "Remember," and Deny superuser access.
4. Go to /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/, and rename the file that just downloaded to [whateverItIs].img.real. (The next step will be easier if you copy the filename first.)
5. Copy the 4.0.1.4 to this location & rename it to whatever the new ROM Manager download was called.
6. Open ROM Manager, and Flash ClockworkMod Recovery again.
7. This time, Allow superuser.

So here's the deal. I'm running CM9Alpha13. And while I love having my phone rooted and playing around with it, I was really only interested in getting ICS for my phone. No I know I'll miss Francisco.Franco's kernels and I'll miss Koush's awesome ROMs but I just really want a stable ICS.
So my question is how long before I can root my ICS if I do the official downgrade to GB and Upgrade to ICS?
Any guestimate would be great!
Thanks in advance.

I am sure it wont take long...just give the devs a day or so to play with things and get everything worked out.

Confirmed that this worked on Google issued phone (same as T-Mobile version). The following is the order I used to come from CM9 Alpha 11:
1. Backup using Titanium, reboot to recovery.
2. Use CWM to flash stock 2.3.6.
3. Use CWM to flash stock ICS 4.0.3.
4. Wipe all user data.
5. Install the linked superuser through CWM (I had previous tried older and newer versions, which did not work).
6. Reboot phone, go through setup, download Titanium, and restore. Phone is definitely rooted (otherwise Titanium is unusable). I did not try to update the su binaries and will avoid doing so.

Hello all,
I want to move from CM12 (Wilsons3q) to the latest MIUI 7 Global Stable. Im having a problem getting my phone recognized through the MiFlash program I originally used to get to CM12. I go into fastboot mode on the phone but the program does not recognize the phone. Ive tried this on 2 different computers. I installed the universal ADB drivers and still nothing. Does anyone know why the phone isnt recognized anymore?
I searched through the previous topics and found no answer to my question. Thanks guys
Solved.
Turns out all I had to do was flash the .zip from MIUI with TWRP recovery
It failed the first time so I did it a second time and it worked great.
Leaving this here for anyone else who may run into the same question/ problem

Oh I see. I didn't know you were using stock recovery. Im not sure completely, but im assuming that would be safe.
