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.

Done.
Thanks for the assist, gents.

Well, topic says it all... Is it difficult? Or no developers for this custom recovery? Why is it that we, P350 owners, have only Amon-Ra?

My guess is Probaly because there's not a lot of users of that phone model, low activity device

Hmm... As true as it may be, this answer doesn't convince me... So, what knowledge is needed for bringing CWM to this device?
Sent from my Swift Me using Tapatalk
Yes cwm can be installed on the p350, perhaps a dev can help you
I've seen some low activity devices on here and a dev sometimes help them install cwm and root the phone
Sent from my HTC_A510c using XDA App
Just CWM... The rest is already done... developer.clockworkmod.com doesn't allow me to sign up nor in...

Burn cwm img on your sd, I'm sure you can use 3.2.0.1 just read the tutorials and it might work

I made a not to wise choice and bought from a china store. The mini tablet I bought has no app market installed. I have download many "google play store '.apk'" files and they all install, when I open them, they crash RIGHT off the bat! I have done this at least 5-10 times.
If anyone...anyone... can help me, please let me know! Please, please, please.
Thanks a ton for anything,

Ok then, make sure its the correct play store for your Android version (GB gapps won't work on ics and vice versa).
And if you have a custom recovery, try flashing Google apps

Rooting methods are different for each device, but you should probably try using superoneclick or unlock root.
(You need drivers installed)

You can check this method but you nead to know if it is the right one for your android virsion first...

GOogle them, superoneclick is a .zip file you must unzip it and open the application, unlock root is an .exe just execute it. They both are one click root programs. Very simple.
And China phone companies don't have many root prevention security (they don't care) so either one of those should work

Nope, both PC applications. You have to connect your phone and run them.
They are two different applications, so if one doesn't work the other probably will. If neither work let me know

In order for the computer to recognize the device, it needs drivers. They used to come on a disk (way old school) but now they are usually online. Chinese tablets drivers are harder to find, but there has to be one out there. Try googling "<model> drivers"

That's the stock system recovery. Just used for wiping the phone and applying updates (if they ever release any lol). After rooting, its usually changed to a custom recovery for phones that have enough development, which allows way more options. But that's another matter.
If you REALLY cannot find the drivers (I couldn't either, could barely even find the model.) then your only chances are to root with gingerbreak or z4root, but both were meant for Android 2.3 and below. They're applications, so couldn't hurt to try them, but by now there is a very low chance.
SoC and UR both work amazingly well, maybe you could try contacting not the sellers for the drivers but the manufacturer (chinavision?)

What are 'SoC' and 'UR' ? If I root it with one of those, will it become Android 2.3?

Oh sorry for not clarifying, they're just my abbreviations of super one click and unlock root.
Rooting won't change your operating system, its just that methods meant for older versions of Android, like gingerbreak, probably won't work.

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.

Title really says it but why is it happening am i doing it wrong? I have tried 2 roms the first was paranoid Android and the second was miui v5 both boot looped on me and others with the same device have had no problems with either from reading their comments.

i am using the newest version of bootstrap at least thats what it said. I think i also need a bigger sd card im using the one that came with it and im already having sd space issues.
Well you need to uninstall bootstrap and download BMM from playstore. All the ROMs supports BMM. There's a thread on how to uninstall bootstrap safely, search for it . Good luck.

Exactly, that's what I figured so do as minhajlk says since we only use BMM for our latest ROMs, and trust me it's WAAAAAYYYYY better than bootstrap. :thumbup:
