There's nothing at all wrong with Rom Manager. It's a great thing. As long as recovery is flashed with NVflash.

I don't recommend it to anyone I've used it once, flash failed or download failed, either way needed a battery pull had to use CWM I will only recommend CWM, lol.

He means if you never used rom manager to ever download or flash recovery and ONLY used nvflash... then rom manager will ALWAYS and ONLY boot into your only cwm recovery.
But yeah, did you download and flash gapps like mt3g asked?
Which gapps are you using? I flashed the one that's said to use in the thread and my phone said they're 2.3.5 and had a few issues, I just googled the 2.3.7 ones and everything works fine for me

Unfortunately for me modded gapps won't flash, and Gmail from the market isn't marking mail as read. I did use scrubber.. Anybody had this issue?

what do you mean won't flash? are you flashing it right after you flash PB rom?
That's correct, scrubber->pb rom->gapps. There is no gmail app after the boot.
i didnt download the rom from rom manager. i installed it from rom manager i ran gapps and everything seems to be in order now
Since I'm not allowed to post anywhere else
I know on the Phoenixblood main thread at the end it says to wipe, but if I am going from 1.6 to 1.7 is that really necessary? It seems like there were only minor changes. Meaning, can I just wipe dalvik and cache and be okay?
Well for others wondering like me, I just wiped cache and dalvik and upgraded to 1.7. So far so good.

Yes, it will. The advantage of us having the Rogers version of the Infuse is that we have Gingerbread bootloaders. This means that if we ever want to flash ICS, we are not bound to get "rainbow" recoveries.
As for flashing ICS, please read a lot before you flash. It is best to know every single thing to avoid problems.
If you need any help, you can PM me.
Good luck!

Yes, any ics ROM would work just fine on the Rogers' phone (I am another Rogers user on custom ROM - Remics 1.3). Make sure you have a good backup and a working recovery firmware (Get CWM ROM Manager from Play store and flash ClockworkMod Recovery) before flashing. Recovery firmware is key for flashing - both for successful flashing as well as recovering from a failed one.
Good luck!

I never trust Rom manager...its been known to cause bricks for some...
You can also get recovery from the second post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
If you plan on flashing ics you will have to double flash though...

+1. ...and sometimes restoring a backup that was made using rom manager does not work. The only thing I use rom manager for now is to rename my backup (give it a "name" versus a "date")
Ah okay, I got the clockwork mod recovery with Odin so am I good if I wanna flash an ics? And what's meant by double flash?

Okay. Here follow these instructions very well.
- Go to CWM recovery
- Go to backups and restore
- Backup current ROM (should take around 5 minutes)
- Download ICS ROM of your liking
- Put it on your phone (internal SD NOT external)
- Go back to CWM
- Wipe data
- Wipe cache
- Go to advanced, and then wipe dalvik cache there
- Flash the ROM
- Reboot
- It will be stuck at Samsung Logo with Cyanogenmod logo as well... I advise you to wait 30 seconds and THEN pull-out battery
- Put battery back on
- Reboot phone
- Go to Mounts and Storage
- Wipe system, data, and cache
- Flash the exact same ROM you flashed earlier
- Reboot
- SUCCESS!
Now, you might encounter APN Settings (data not working) problems.. I advise you to find the APN settings here on XDA (I'm on Virgin Mobile Canada so I cannot provide these.)
ALSO, if you run into problems with Google apps (I assumed you downloaded a ROM that already has them), download the "gapps" file. Link should be found on the OP of the ROM post you downloaded.
Have fun!

hey had a question about trying to install the 4.2 gapps. im currently running King Kang rom with the kernel that came with it (not 5) and TWRP. after i downloaded the .zip and went to install from recovery it instantly fails every time that i try it. am i missing a step somewhere, or do i need to be running kernel 5 or something?

Download cm10 again ans reflash it, cleanly. Wipe system/cache/dalvik. Then try and flash over gapps. But I'd do another wipe on cache/delvik before you flash it. Just trying to keep the flashing as clean as possible. It also might be a problem with the version of gapps you're using. Do you have the latest?

Gapps can be found at goo.im or with the goo.im app.

Edit: sorry didn't see the link. Go with the latest one in the link that exad presented.
It depends on which version you have. G appps are different for 4.2.2 and 4.1.2. Even though they both say jb. Are you on 10 or 10.1?

Just download the goo.im apk online and install it. It will detect your rom and download the proper Gapps for you.
Who has the VM USA Galaxy S2 variant, what did you flash and are currently running? I am curious to know what others use as daily drivers, what has worked for them, and how they went about obtaining it.
I have looked around but to no avail in the last few months have I seen a huge dev support for SPH-D710VMUB. I have successfully updated my phone to sxtp GB28 Rom w/ root and MidnightRom but have not tried CM10.1 because of rom issues and flashing confusion.
I have recently flashed CarbonRom (LOVE IT) because it was listed in MidnightRoms goomanager app under "other compatible roms". At the time I did not know it was strictly for Sprint but it took okay. Everything seems to work flawlessly except data of course (no 3G/4G therefore no MMS, GPS, etc.) I have looked at APN apps (have a thread made for that), but no luck on getting any of it to work.
Check out my thread on CarbonRom. I'm thinking of close it down since I have this one up now. It has images and links however.

If you want to recover your touchwiz nandroid coming from a CM10 based ROM or clockwork mod recovery, you will need to restore first time using CWM then when your new ROM and recovery are flashed, boot up system then go back into recovery (which should now be Agats) and restore the nandroid one more time doing this.
The reason being, CM10 CWM is not fully compatible with TW basedbased ROMs and so they won't fully restore your ROM. I figured this out myself.

It's a little complicated than that. Remember, on Samsung phones, the rom and recovery are intertwined. Meaning when you flash your ROM it will have a recovery specific to that ROM. CWM/CM10 recoveries aren't fully compatible with TouchWiz Roms. You'll need an altered version of CWM/TWRP for that.
I went and flashed GB28 rooted with Agats recovery by sxtp developers. It has a full tutorial on that page. Specific to virgin mobile. You'll need to download the drivers and software and its pretty straight forward. I'll post a link.
If you want to go from there to a CM10 based ROM afterwards, I can help you.

No. Most all of the ROMs you flash will have root access in one form or another. TW will have SuperSU and CM10, SuperUser/BusyBox most likely. So don't worry about root. And when you flash a ROM, you will be flashing its new recovery also. No, it should not mess anything up if you follow the method specific to the ROM.
Sent from my VM E4GT using Tapatalk 4
Here is what I would do: Use Odin (mobile or PC) to flash a rooted version of your stock ROM. It could have a recovery to it or not. If not, then after you flash the stock ROM, flash a compatible recovery. I used Agats for TW. Once you have that, download the CM10 zip, boot into recovery. It is advised you follow their instructions however this is how I did mine. It worked for the most part.
Once you are in agats cwm recovery, wipe data/ factory reset/cache/dalvik. Don't think you need to format, but to he safe it'd be system/cache/data (check on that). Don't format internal or you will lose everything (like backups and zips among the important). You can then flash your ROM and gapps.
Reboot, will take a little while. Then go back into recovery when you can (it should be a new recovery that came with the ROM). Do all of the same methods above for a clean install of your ROM in this new recovery. Boot, and you SHOULD be set to go. Hope this helps.

You can google virgin mobile galaxy s2 gb28 recovery. It'll be on sex tapes forums. Follow their guide and they will have rooted and unrooted versions of the official jellybean release with agats. Also look for a user named TheBritton who has, literally a "noobs guide" to all ROMs/methods with links, for our phone. I'll find a link.

So you have the recovery flashed then. Which? Agats is for Touchwiz based ROMs not Cyanogenmod technically. Try my method. Go to sxtps website and look for GB28 w/Agats recovery. Flash a touchwiz ROM, like MidnightRom, then try CM10. (Or one of the better ROMs mentioned in this thread).
