After much reading through these forums, coming from never having flashed a ROM before, I was able to successfully flash and am thus enjoying CM9. I had been waiting for this to come out for the Skyrocket since I bought the phone last year, so, thanks
My question(s) is in relation to CWM Touch. I would like to update CWM to CWM Touch.
1) Is CWM Touch going to foul up any part of CM9? (that is, prior to CM9 i had CWM installed, but now due to "internetz confusionz" am unsure if the current version of CWM after CM9 flash, is one that came with CM9, or not)
2) Where I've read to basically never go near ROM Manager for flashing CM9 for now, what about using it to update its own CWM to CWM Touch? I see the option to do so but when I click it, it reads along the lines of "You must first install CWM before installing Touch"....which i thought i...or at least CM9 did..see question 1.
3) Alternate method to #2, I found " download.clockworkmod.com / recoveries / recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.3-skyrocket.zip "and have downloaded it. I thought perhaps I could simply flash this through CWM itself (due to another post somewhere saying this was ok, but it referenced a SGS2, not a skyrocket). Will doing it this way force me to reinstall CM9 (as yet, still other, posts on the internetz would have me believe?)
Overall the goal is to end up with CWM Touch and not have to reinstall CM9 as i've spent far too long customizing the crap out of (and enjoying) it.
thanks!
This is the general section. This thread belongs in the Q&A section.
General is for anything and everything so don't sweat it man. And for the using of ROM Manager I think you should be good to flash touch through it, although I have never tried. I flashed mine via Odin. As for the question will it affect your cm9 the answer is no.

lolno. If it was for anything then we wouldnt have a Q&A section and it would just be in general.
Although I marked the post as a question during submission, I have no problem with an Admin moving my post to a proper section if it will yield more responses so that I may average out any and all contradictions as well as receive answers to all questions.
thank you
To answer your question, recovery has NOTHING whatsoever to do with a ROM. They are completely independent. You can flash any recovery and it will not affect your ROM. Some ppl had issues with the new CWM recovery so I would recommend you to stay away. I do not know if it was fixed. I would highly recommend sk8terwiki's (sorry sk8 if I butchered the spelling ) 5.5.0.4 v4.2 recovery in the dev section. Its the one I use and it gets the job done. He has a zip that you can flash in CWM. I have not used TWRP but heard good things about it. To install twrp just get goo manager from market, hit menu->install open recovery script.

rolled the (weighted) dice based on swisser's response.
I "Installed" CWM via Rom Manager. What this really did was update me from 5.0.0.27 to 5.8.4.3 for the skyrocket (after i chose it from a menu).
*As discussed 30 something pages deep in the CM9 General thread, this **BROKE** the ability to flash anything from *EXTERNAL* SD Cards. Flashing from Internal worked fine, so I rebooted my phone and copied over the 5.8.4.3 CWM Touch i had downloaded from the site in my first post, to my Internal SD Card. Rebooted back to CWM and flashed from internal SD and now i have CWM Touch Working.
I've run out of tools and toys to flash so i haven't tested if CWM Touch will flash from External SD, but according to that thread, it does.
One thing i've noticed *MISSING/REMOVED.../Moved(?)* (basically i couldnt find the ****er) was the ability to Mount USB Storage while in CWM. This was a handy escape route for me previously and i'm sad to see it (seemingly) gone in both TOUCH and NONTOUCH 5.8.4.3
Moved to Q&A. General is not for "anything and everything". General is meant for discussions and or news regarding the device . Questions belong in Q&A. Side note OP did you try looking for you answers in CM9 discussion thread in general as well?
Cheers
Hint: I posted a quick fix there..
Guys i have a question rather a really dumb one but i am confused 1stly where cm9 for skyrocket cuz i still can't get it, the only one i got.is.through rom manager and that was build for s2. Is there a way to knew what rom is actually build for ure done through rom manager cuz i have tried a few roms from there but nothing worked rather i have to.restore from Odin everytime i have been unable to get a particular rom from there rather i was able to dload cm7 via the web and am using that but looking for an update, as per the rom i have is sky-ics on cm7 and have no problems with it except recently it has started rebooting or shutting the phone itself and takes a long time to start again but now even that rarely happens but still can anyone help me on this so i can have a proper fix and not end up in the same....

^^what prbassplayer said. you really really need to read. if none of these roms are working for you: you either dont have a skyrocket, or you're not reading all of the instructions. check out the dev section and the general section. if you read in both those sections you will find cm9. you could probably read my signature too... but dont go doing that until you do a lot of reading first. =/

I bought the premium version of ROM Manager so that I can get access to the nightly builds. I choose the nightly build I want to install and select the google apps, I get to the clockwork recovery screen, it backsup data does MD5, and then format /cache /data and tries to install the ROM and it fails. I have tried this with #54-#58 and I get the same result. Can someone please point me in the right direction ?
and you created your own special thread for this why?
in my opinion, its faster and more helpful than search
Before you start downloading and flashing roms I suggest that you read through the entire first post of the nightly thread and after you are done re-read the post again then follow the links and re-re-read while you are flashing the roms. I myself am a newb to all this but I found that all of the information is already there if you just take your time and follow directions, and it will pay off in the end

I think he's being sarcastic although I could be wrong.
Sorry Guys did not mean to violate any rules here... I am just super frustrated right now. I have done Rom Manager CM7 installs some 5-6 times, the install process goes though backup, format /cache /data and then starts to install ROM and suddenly fails. Does CM7 nightly build install from Rom Manager work? I read though a ton of forum posts and looks like it is working for people or may be not... can some one point me to *A* thread that I can rely on to get CM7 on this G2X? Really really really appreciate your help on this.
ROM Manager is an inferior method of ROM flashing. Use NVFlash to flash ClockworkMod Recovery to your phone (NVFlash allows for a true flash rather than the application's fake flash) then when you want to flash a ROM (or do a backup, or anything else ROM manager does) just boot your phone into recovery (hold power and volume down until you see the green Android logo, trust me it will make sense) and do it from there.
I have never, ever, been able to get ROM Manager to work in flashing roms. Or for much of anything else for that matter. It's just better to do things directly.
Rooted the phone based on instructions from:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/LG_Optimus_2X:_Rooting
Installed CWM from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1108201
Installed ROM manger premium,
adb push cm_nightlybuild.apk /sdcard
when I reboot to recovery I get /!\ with an andriod green logo. What do I do next ? seems like it wont go into recovery mode now... but when I reboot (pull the battery and press power button) I am able to boot into stock Andriod 2.2.
If your are running the rooted stock you should know when your download rom they will be downloaded on your internal memory and when rom manager boot into recovery it is not able to see your internal memory you should put the roms on your external SD card

Hey,
I'm trying to install the [ROM] Team Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.2.2 - Moray [9/10/11].
I've got CWM installed (version recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img but also tried latest version from ROM Manager).
Each time i try to install the .zip it get's to opening package and then just exits to the CWM menu?
It's probably a common thing, but couldn't find anything from a search? Anyone got any ideas?
This has been covered many times so take the time to do a search.

I had to thank you Muffycheeks for your excellent answer. I am not sure why you did not at least give an indication about where to find the answer or what the issue is? Lucky this was posted in Q&A and not in the dev thread!
I am new to Xoom (only got it since yesterday) and have managed to get the bootloader unlocked and custom recovery installed. For some reason when I reboot the device the recovery is flash back to 3e (I suppose this has been also debated millions of times but I cannot find it yet...)
I had been able to flash one of the custom roms but it gets stuck in bootscreen. I wiped everything I could think of and followed a couple of advices and still not working.
I am downloading the other rom (as far as I can tell there are only 2 customs with one of them based on the other one) and will see if that works.
Sorry Addicteddddd for highjacking your thread but I have been searching for a while until I found your thread and I thought my issues were over to find the standard helpful XDA answer. Some people might have had their device for years but some other are quite new to this.
K.
EDIT: It seems that one of the recoveries do not advise if a ZIP file is bad and therfore comes back with no message. I suppose this is why this is happening.
I downloaded 3 ZIP files and they are all corrput. Not sure what is happening here but anyway.

Also, how are you downloading the file? Are you getting the right version? If you are using the R4c v3.2.0.0 it should be called solarnz, not tiamat. The guide has the correct link.

First off, Thanks to everyone for the posts and for future patience.
I know there has been a lot of discussion on this subject, but I seem to have elevated it to a new level of loopy. Bear with me, please; I'll make whatever changes needed. I have researched/read a lot tried many of the recommended procedures and frankly, I think it has all become mud stew in my head. My wife is none too happy, and if you guys could help me save my genitals/marriage, I'd be much appreciative.
The facts: 1 T-Mobile SGS4G t959v, 1 Mac os X 10.6.8, 1 Heimdall 1.3.1 and 1 ticked-off wife.
So, following the xda forum, I successfully rooted the device. Then I downloaded ROM manager and installed CwM (now I realize the error of my ways), downloaded and flashed Bionix. Phone looped "3e" recovery.
After much research, found heimdall on XDA, and was able to get the recovery image changed to CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v3.0.2.8x. Now, I'm looping that recovery. Tried the bali 3.3 kernel, flashed just fine. found sgs4g official gb2.3.6....Rom, flashed just fine. Still, I remain at the red voodoo screen.
Obviously, I can access the sd card through my mac, and have tried various update.zip procedures, and various ROMs.
So, I've been reading for several days now, poring over these and other forums, and if I understand it correctly, bali3.3_heimdall.tar.gz (thank you very much!) is supposed to undo the ROM manager screw up from earlier (and I can only think that I am missing some critical info here), but no, still looking at the voodoo recovery.
I AM kind of new to this, however I have rooted and modded 4- MyTough 3g's and a defy, All running CMx.
Thanks again,
SN
Try disabling voodoo lag fix and see if that helps

Thanks again,

You are aware that Bali3.3 is a Froyo kernel? If the last rom you flashed was GB 2.3.6 then try flashing a GB kernel and make sure your mounts are correct.
missed the bali/froyo. does this imply that I might flash a froyo rom over bali? or do I need to flash a gb kernel for the 2.3.6 rom? Also, I'm using heimdall and I don't know how to use non-.tar files with it; or if you can.

Moving to Q&A
Can someone help please? I installed CWM Recovery thru ROM Manager. Rebooted in recovery to back up my ROM and now I can't get out of recovery. Every time I select Reboot System it reboots me into recovery.
Try here (if you can use NVFlash)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519635&highlight=boot+into+cwm
Like many others, When I saw the thread over in the Dev section about the 5.5.0.4 recovery, I jumped right in and fired up Rom Manager before reading any further in the thread.
Unlike many others, I don't get the same results. My TF101 reboots to the OS with no problem. However trying to reboot to recovery from recovery doesn't work. I have to hold the vol. down button just like a cold boot into recovery.
The only difference might be, that I had stock recovery prior to installing 5.5.0.4, due to having to recover from another soft brick condition after trying to install the CM9 Nightly that is now available over on the official Clockworkmod site. That one had failed miserably for my device.
Good luck with solving your problems with the new recovery. Wish I could explain exactly why mine seemed to work as advertised when most others didn't. But I don't know.
I do have the problem with the Removable MicroSD not being visible. Only the built in "Fake" SD Card.
Update:
I now have the reboot into recovery problem. I used the wipe data option from the VOL DWN/PWR button start up, and now have that annoying boots into recovery problem like everyone else. I hope that and the SD card problem gets fixed in the next version.
Thanks, got everything back to normal with NVFlash method I found by watching this :http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VMHXeYMgPy4
Lesson learned!! :/
Curious where the thread in the Dev section went to, I cant find it this morning...
Unfortunately, some of us cannot use NVFLash to fix this problem.
So, is it too much to ask that the Dev who wrote Rom Manager and CWM actually look in to this for us?
I too installed the newer CWM through Rom Manager and need to cold boot to get in to the OS otherwise it recovery boot loops.

Thread was closed. I was on it this morning and wanted to post a reply saying NV Flash work for me and I couldn't because it said the thread was closed.
I read the whole thing and apart from NV Flashing the was no other solution
How do you know you can't NVFlash?
yea , this morning the thread in the Dev section went to general , and now closed.
Perhaps we should follow this until everything is clarified.
the nvflash only work for b60 and some b70 tablets , most of b70 and b80 cant be flashed with this tool

I was up until 1am following the thread and posting my process, specs.
I am even more curious as to how the thread which was still pretty calm turned in to something that deserved being deleted.
In any event, I think we all understand that what we do is at our own risk. But CWM and Rom Manager have been the gold standard of reliability for quite some time. Once something is a trusted means by which to do something its even more disappointing to see that it no longer works.
the first post was moved because it was not exactly a development post
then, in the general section, I do not know why it closed, there is no explanation

Or what could I use for an alternative,
Thanks
RESOLVED: The ODIN flash did work after I used the right tar file.
I buried this in another Q&A thread and have no replies so far. Maybe you could give me some advice.
I tried flashing one of those firmwares for 4.1.1 which was only 357 MB and it got stuck at the boot screen, It seems I had bad instructions I followed with a link to an incomplete flash file, perhaps part 1 of a 2 part download. When it flashed it last said it was updating remaining files and then went back to the recovery, When I rebooted it stuck at the recovery even after a data wipe. I tried flashing a 3113 rooted stock rom and it gives me an E:signature verification failed. I used odin to flash the 4.04 stock rom which passes, but it still freezes at the boot screen even after a data wipe. Should I try flashing CWM recovery through odin to get around the signature verification or does someone know another procedure that has worked to get back to stock 4.04 from this condition. I have seen this mentioned a couple of times in the development threads with users indicating that they got back to stock, but without details of exactly how.
The firmware I apparently partially flashed was GT-P3113_P3113UECLI4-OTA-P3113UEBLH2_XAR_374372839
Also I was not able to see if usb debugging was enabled since I could not do anything but recovery or download modes on the tablet.

Power button and the Volume button directly next to the Power button will bring you into "Recovery mode".
Power button and the Volume button furthest away will bring you into "Download mode".
To boot into "Safe mode" When the tablet is on press the power button till the reboot menu appears then press and hold the Reboot button , until you get the option to boot into safe mode. Reboot and you are good to go.
Thought I'd try this rather than a new thread.
Hi Jeramy, hopefully you have some advice.
My problem: I want to be able to install some apps on the SD card, and still use the stock 4.1.2 that I upgraded to using Kies.
What I've discovered so far:
Samsung doesn't like moving apps to SD (Link2SD for example which makes a soft link in the normal Samsung place to the SD card)
First must jailbreak
Jailbreaking uses "odin" (something to put Roms on) and a ROM
So far I've got Link2SD, and downloaded some ROMs, but there doesn't seem to be a good ROM that is basically just the stock + superuser. I do see some for France etc.
One thought I had is will this work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887757
Wherein they install some Zip somehow. What's the CWM do? Is it version dependent?
Anyhow, thanks I hope this makes some sense.

If you are serious though, cant you just Odin back to stock with official firmware, and take the ota? This is my first Samsung so I am learning as I go. Though rooting Samsung's is so much easier than my Rezound. We have to short the board with a paperclip to achieve s off on it.
Edit, I used this to install the official from UK.(p3110) on my p3113. Complete stock. I would imagine you would do the same, just use all 3110 files.:thumbup:

[HOWTO][P3113] Revert to Stock Android 4.0.4 ICS build UEBLH2
P.S. I love having friends all over the world, love the alternate views of people from other nations. Mind friending me on here, even though you are leaving these threads? Big bonus of the xda world community.
@ QFX
First, sorry. I havent checked this thread today, and whenever i need something answered, i want it yesterday. It sounds to me like you haven't been in the android world too long. If you have, I mean no disrespect. So far, I have ran a few custom ROMs, but the stock experience is really smooth in my opinion. My best advice is to try a couple, and see what you like.Now to answer your questions. Clockworkmod is a custom recovery that allows you to backup your tablet in the state it is in when you make the back up. It also allows you to flash custom ROMs Like the ones you downloaded. It is a must have if you plan on rooting(jail breaking). Yes they are version specific.There are guides that will walk you through this, and it is pretty simple. If you look in the threads for cf auto root, the thread will walk you through it. After you do this, you will need to flash Clockworkmod. It is in the same threads. Look under development. Both of these files have to be flashed through odin on your computer. As soon as you flash Clockworkmod, reboot into recovery, and make a backup. This way, you can flash other ROMs, and if you want to go back, just restore your backup in Clockworkmod. I am crashing in a few, but will send you links to the files that you need tomorrow. Remember to read the guides a couple of times to make sure you understand everything before you try. After I send you the links, if you need additional help, pm me, and I will walk you through it. Good luck, and have fun

Apps2sd no longer works, but there is a script that allows you to switch your Mount points for external, and internal storage. I have a class 10 32 gig SD card that now works as my internal storage. The only thing is that you have to manually switch the files between the two at the start so the os can find what it is looking for. I will send you a link for that too.

p-3113 Swap ExternalSDCard 2 Internal
Voice sound driving me nuts
I just updated Tab 2 7.0 P3113 to stock jellybean (not rooted), and now every time I swipe to a different screen it tells me which screen I am on. How can I turn this off?
I believe if you add something like a shortcut, then remove it, the message will go away. Let's try something easy like this first.

I just got this thing for christmas and I really want to root it so as I can use my ps3 controller to play games , unfortunately I'm a noob and have absolutely no idea where to start or how to do it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey stark. Here is a Odin flashable zip that will give you root, Clockworkmod, and has Odin in it as well. Download it, unzip it on your PC, and place the cf root file somewhere easily accessible. Install Odin, then follow the guide. Pm me if you need any more help.

Moving apps to external SD

Moving apps to SD went out with ICS 4.0.4 Goggle dropped it from Android as not needed, not useful anymore.

I don't think that Google did this. My friend has a Galaxy II running 4.2.1 (custom ROM CM10) and can move apps to the external SD card.
I've tried rooting the my tab and installing the latest stable CM10 ROM but I still don't get the option.

Unfortunately I can't get this to work on cm 10.1....does anyone have a way to swap it on cm 10.1?
I don't think it will work on aosp. It has to do with the mount points .

Alright, I have been answering threads for simple stuff about rooting, and modding the p3113, and its cousins. If you have questions about how to do anything, please post them here, and I, and others will help you. This way we can keep a running q/a thread without flooding the forum with the same question. I am in the process of writing new how to's so hopefully we have the answers to your questions in a easy to find thread. Happy new year.

I'm trying to root a galaxy tab 2 7.0 p3113 on 4.1.1. What I'm wondering is, can I use the same stuff as the 4.0.4 that I found in the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788625 or are there specific files for 4.1.1?

Hi Jeremy,
I just rooted my 3113 and I've lost my external sd card when looking in my files. It is however showing that my internal storage is 29.7G. Obviously I've gone and loused the thing up somehow.. After exhaustively searching the fourms, installing "ntfs mounter" and "ntfssd," trying to mount from CW, and trying different cards - I'm more than a little fustrated. I just realized that the movies that I had on the internal memory are not showing either. Any help for a "12:00 Flasher: would be appreciated
I've got CW and I used "gtab2_jellybean_rooter"
@ caniknow it sounds like you flashed the partition swap that swaps the external, and internal memory. Try powering off, and removing ad card, then reboot. See if it can't see internal at all. That will give me some idea of what is going on. I highly recommend cf auto root for jellybean. Super simple, and works without issues.
@ rains try cf autoroot.

Ok, I did as you suggested
After rebooting without the card: Memory shows 4.49GB
Movies stored on internal have returned
My Files show correct list again
YAY!!! It's not broken!
Ok, now with the 32G card (formatted NTFS - forgot to mention that) reinstalled, the memory has reverted to 29.7GB and showing everything (yes, everything from internal memory; though it is showing that there are memory using applications, file and such, though different amounts) has disappeared once more. GRRR
Tried NtfsSd to mount card: nodda. Tried Ntfs Mounter again: nodda Tried powering down and loading CW, inserting the card and mounting there: nodda Tried touching my left ear whilst standing on one foot in 10" of snow and holding the power button, then swiping left, left, down, uppercut, triangle, square.... once again, nothing.
Back to without the card and rebooting. Everything normal. ?????? I'm now at a total loss.
All I want is to seemlessly transfer my +12GB movies from my media storage to the tab and watch them in the car using the bluetooth interface for the sound. I need the NTFS to do this without chopping the movie into little bits that ruins the sound - and so began this quest which is turning out to be epic. Please help me slay the monster that is my lack of programming knowledge.
