i tried googling for other managers but it seemed that clockworkmod has a manager but my system isn't on it so other rom managers?

Go onto play store and get goomanager its free and our device is supported. Or you can just visit the development section.

What rom are you on now? Click on the top entry it will give you all available roms, not all of them but a good amount

The SGS4G isn't a "ROM Manager" device, in the main. Most people download and flash ROMs through recovery. It isn't a complex process.

@anon when i click roms it says nothing available

Perhaps since only MTD ROMs are presently available and you aren't on a Goo-enabled one yet.
Why do you make this process so complicated? You wasted 2 days trying to find out how to download a ROM straight to your phone, while you can just download one straight from your computer and put it in your SD Card.
You can also download ROMs right to your phone if you have a browser installed that has a desktop mode. Chrome for android works well. I download ROMs all the time using XDA and the stock ICS browser.

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?

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.

Download to your computer first, thrn copy it to your internal sd card.
It's just of those things.
I'm planning my escape from the digital world!
The stock phone browser normally fails at downloading zip files - unless there is an app on the phone that associates itself with them. For instance, zArchiver is an app that can handle zip files. Since I have it on my phone, I am able to download zip files with the stock browser. Another option to download on the phone is to use a third party browser like Dolphin.

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.

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... -_-

Given that CyanogenMod is dumping ROM Manager, it seems like energy could be better put elsewhere.

Get EzRecovery from the play store. Pretty much self explanatory from there after you have downloaded the latest recovery img file.

If you downloaded from the CWM website, it downloads as an img file not a zip. If its an img file, yes it will work.
I wemt to the website and wasn't able to dl the img file... Clicked on the Verizon SGS3 version and it showed a whole bunch of code... Nothing dl into my phone... Sorry for being a noob but how am I to transfer that code on my phone???

Shouldn't be seeing code, just a lot of devices and their CWM download links. I just downloaded it using Chrome, so try using Chrome, Dolphin, or another browser then find the VZW S3:

if you "long press" in dolphin, it'll give you an option to "Save Link." For some reason, sometimes, it just opens the file in html and displays it on the webpage and sometimes it doesn't.
I'm trying to root my s3 and the goal is in the end to put cm on it. I'm bummed the installer doesn't work for our phone, but is there a good guide on here or elsewhere with the files I'll end and a how to?
Thanks in advance ( FYI, I've flashed and rooted multiple times before just never cm)
If you stop by Google and go to CyanogenMod's page, find the phone in the devices section. There are device specific guides there. If you want to try something else, go to the original development section, find the CyanogenMod ROM and follow the directions there.

Never used an app but using an automated system like that without knowing how to do it the real way ends up crippling you for the long road of wonderful Android. Here is a link to a sticky that has your info:

Yeah, those didn't really help me...if I gave the file on my sd card should I be able to flash it from there with rom manager or goo manager?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If you're rooted, and unlocked, do you have your nandroid backup set up with custom recovery? From there just use Goo Manager to boot into recovery, and then wipe your cache and then flash your ROM and appropriate Gapps pack. Process was fairly simple on my SIII using TWRP. Make sure you look up the appropriate Gapps zip before starting or you will wind up with key features inoperable and will have to reboot and load it onto your phone before finishing setup.
You'll like CM 10.1.x on the SIII, it runs very smoothly.
Nothing in the post I linked mentions Rom manager. The instructions work if followed.
Don't forget to do this either. Just in case. I've never had to restore, but i still have A & B covered

Not necessarily. I think I flashed my SIII with about 85%. Then again, I did most of the steps with it plugged into the charger EXCEPT for flashing the rom itself. It took about four or five minutes tops.
Has anyone tried both cm and slimbean? I'm thinking of trying slimbean first bc I have usee cm in the past but I keep reading slimbean is stable and gives great battery.
