First delete everything to do with rom manager, second download krylon360 clockworkmod final, third push the recovery to system/bin do not delete original recovery just over write it, and finally put update.zip on the root of sd card. Them power off phone hold volume up and down press power when in recovery select reinstall packages and clockworkmod will load up.
EDIT: rom manager has issues with galaxy s 4g.

thanks i figured it out. i was using linda file manager. i then used another one in the market thats under root explorer. i got it to overwrite correctly. thanks alot! its now orange and currently backing up my system.
when you get a chance, flash the bali 3+ kernels too. will make handling cwm easier because it keeps your mounts and you no longer need the update.zip
Ok, so i rooted my lg optimus 2x using super one click. Then i went on to to use rom manager first to backup my stock 2.2 rom, after this i downloaded the cm7 mod to my sd card. Finally i installed the rom to my phone. Now my phone is spinning around in the cyanogen mod 7 "skateboard guy". I cant get into recovery mode, or im just not doing it right. i got it to go to the android 3e recovery mode but i couldn't press anything there(if that is the correct term) PLEASE HELP, I CANT EVEN DO ANYTHING ON MY PHONE PLEASE PLEASE HELP. Im new to the android rooting, roms, and hacking so help me out, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

You need to flash CWM recovery with NvFlash on the 2X devices not ROM Manager. That should be the first thing you do. Then flash CM7 with from there.
^^^ what he said. But don't forget to wipe cache. Or else you'd still get boot loop.
Look in the development section for help on how to flash CWM with NVFlash. Also, you mention that you have the Optimus2x, but this post is in the G2x forum. Please make sure you are flashing the correct stuff by double checking whether you have an Optimus2x or a G2x. They are different. If you need help with that, let us know before you flash anything.
I assumed he has a Canadian Optimus 2X I should've confirmed.

hi guys i have a evo 3d gsm i rooted with revoulutionary worked great i have s/off i also have been running leeroid kernel with infected ethernety rom for he past month i have always used rom manager to load roms and always worked well so i tried to load a red theme without reading much on it and i ended up getting into a boot loop and i cant fix or flash any new roms to fix this problem because the clockworkmod recovery dosent respond it just goes to a black screen with a hat, i have tried to use fastboot to flash a new recovery but i guess im still new at this and im kinda stuck im like the only person i know up here in montreal that messes with androids so i could really use some detailed instructions on a soultion im not finding any threads with a real understanding of what i could do to fix this any help is would help thanks
Somebody please help
Can someone please giver some direction to at least reinstalling clockwork mod through fast boot please
did you make a back up of your rom before you flashed infected? flash your back up.
Yah I made a backup a few weeks back but Shari think I need to do is install a new recovery through fast lot but I'm not sure of how to do it some people say to use sdk it I don't know what I'm doing I'm kind of a noob at this stuff
who's Shari? anyways I would flash my back up and see if that resolves the issue but its up to you, I don't take any responsibility on what happens.
Sorry I don't know who Sharri is either lol miss spell but anyway that we're my issue is cuz I can't flash anything cuz clockwork mod recovery doesn't work every time I try to use the options it just goes to a black screen with a hat I can't even reboot I have to pull the battery to get out so I'm looking to do is flash a new recovery so I can try a restore of my backups but I'm not sure of how to do it
Hey guys i`ve recently managed to get an SGS 4G Vibrant ( i believe that i am at right place to seek for help ) , i have the T-Mobile version of the phone. I need help switching to different/better ROM, at this moment the phone uses the stock one ( or i believe so ). I`ve been tru the threads and saw that there are a lot of stuff posted about what you need to do/have to flash a rom, but i just cant understand the right order of doing the things.
If its posible can someone really quick just post the steps for the guide for flashing a ROM to the phone. I have previous expiriance with android phone and i am aware how thing go, just as i said i cant get the right order of puting all the thing at one place.
For the phone i used to have was like, first i had to install an stocklike ROM which had recovery, but before that i had to get some kind of software for LG that alowes to flash the rom via download mode. So is the same here? It would be awesome if someone can link or atleast type all the software and other thing i need to have installed to make this work. For now what i have is the USB drivers for Samsung.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, that helped, not sure how i missed it. I am gonna write down what i did so far, so you could see if i messed up something.
I rooted the phone via SuperOneClick 2.2, then i installed the SGS Kernel Flasher, and then flashed the kernel, my current phone was running an 2.3.7 android, so i used the Basic with a Twist`s kernel ( i hope i did it right ), and now the phone rebooted and some different boot screen apiared with some Robotic Chick speeking some stuff, BUT for now the phone load to there, it doesnt wannt to load.
So did i messed up something, or ....
Can you go into recovery by holding Volume Up+Volume Down while pressing the power button and as soon as the SGS 4G splash appears leaving the power button ?
If so and you can see CWM Ver. 5.0... then kernel was successfully flashed.
You shouldn't be getting a bootloop.
What ROM do you want to flash ? If you want to flash GB then I suggest Barebone/Valhalla of some kind.
If you want ICS - Go to the CM 9.1 thread and follow the instructions. After that you may change to AOKP or MIUI or all the rest of the ICS ROMs you wanna try.

This section is not for the Vibrant.
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=708
I am sorry I do not know how to get you back to where you started before flashing the wrong ROM.
Good luck
Well, it wasnt a bootloop, it just loaded to some point and stoped. Gladly still got the download mode and brought it back to normal to how it was. Thats why i came here to ask, `couse there are too much similiar sgs`s and stuff for them here, i just got confused whats what. Got to start from scratch anyway, at least i didnt bricked it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1 <---- That's a post by Lumin 30 with a guide on how to get from stock to custom GB. If you want to get to ICS then use CWM 5.0.x.x.
Hi everyone,
I have never flashed, rooted, or installed a ROM on an android phone before. I am fairly tech savvy and I believe I can do it, a friend has an old S5 Mini and it's stuck on Lollipop... I want to try update it to Stock Nougat for him as I know Samsung will never publish an update... I've done a bit of digging and I believe I have a vague idea of what's going on, I'd just really appreciate if someone confirmed my plan, I don't want to brick it, I definitely can't afford to get him a new one, I just got myself a phone...
Basically I'm going to install Odin on my laptop, use it to install TWRP, all by enabling USB Debugging and using the recovering mode, then copy the ROM and Gapp .zip's to the external SD card then boot the phone into the TWRP, which I'm assuming is an app I launch ? Then I'll wipe cache and install the apps and rom?
Only problem I have is unlocking the boot loader... where does that come in? And obviously I'm not sure if what I've said is correct... please any help would be greatly appreciated...
