I have seen several people have issues with Rom Manager on these tabs, including boot corruption that required using ODIN to reload stock ROM. I don;t use Rom Manager and I would recommend you use Odin to flash the latest CWM instead.

rom manager is a great idea and works good i guess on some devices (i have yet to find one), but i believe it to be on the same list as programs like titanium backup.... possibly dangerous... take digitalMD advise and use recovery for flashing, stay away from flashing anything with an app....
Well could any1 point me into a root for this? And do you absolutely have to have a sd card?

p3113 is a 7" so go to the 7" development thread.
this is the method I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788625 except I did a few things different, the 2 files it says to copy to the external SD I copied to the internal storage, I turned on USB debugging before powering off to put the tablet into download mode and I used a newer version of the CWM tar file, that has since been replaced by a CWM zip file that is just for updating the version of CWM you have. attached is the touch version of the CWM that I used when I rooted.
I can't see any reason why you would need an SD card to do this, I have one but thats because this is primarily a music player for me so I need the storage, personally I use the internal storage for ROM zips and things that you flash in CWM.

If I wanted to manually flash cwm instead of using rom manager, how would I go about it?
I have a version of cwm on my phone that I don't want and want to flash a different version but not with rom manager, I don't want to choose one from that list. I have another one id like to flash I just don't know how.
I was thinking go into cwm and use the "flash update.zip" I think that's how you do it, but I am unable to flash anything from the external card because it wont mount because I have an incompatible version of cwm installed.
Anyway to flash from the internal storage?

Just in case anyone stumbles across this in the future, I was able to get it worlkng by formatting my sd card. It was the only thing I could do to get CWM to recognize the card.

I thought the card wouldn't mount because I was using the wrong version of CWM. I tried the version of CWM that was pre loaded with rom manager and it didn't work either. I had another one I wanted to force flash and try it. Turns out the card just needed to be formatted and CWM was able to mount it.

Hey Guys,
Brand new owner of the G2x and Android for that matter ( had an iphone before)
Of course I am looking to flash some roms and see how they are. The phone is rooted, and I downloaded rom manager and flashed CWM. But now I am reading and seeing that it is safer to use NVFlash? Do I need to remove CWM or w/e before i can flash NVFlash? Do i even need NVFlash?
Thanks in advance.
Rom manager flashes fake cwm. U don't need to remove it though. But u have to flash it again via nvflash. Otherwise u won't be able to root or flash any custom rom.

Is this possible to do without a SD Card in the phone? If so, where do I copy the flashable zip files too on the phone?

Not on the more recent CWM, you'll need a SD card.

If have the latest CWM (5.2.0.0 I think?) You can flash zips by selecting Flash .zip from SD card > flash from internal SD. You can place your .zips anywhere you'd like.

You actually can use the rom-manager-cwm to flash roms. With the G2X, rom manager has 2 issues that I've encountered. The first is the one mentioned already: that it doesn't actually flash clockworkmod recovery to the recovery partition. The problem here is that if something goes wrong and you can't boot into android, you also won't be able to boot into cwm. As you stated, using nvflash installs cwm to the actual recovery partition so you can boot into it even if you can't boot into android.
The second problem I've had with rom manager on this phone is creating and restoring backups. The backups created with rom manager won't restore properly. It's been a while since I've used it though so maybe that's been fixed.
Either way use nvflash. It's the most reliable method for this phone and the only way to actually flash cwm to the recovery partition.
You have to use nv flash or if you run into any problems you won't have a recovery. Nv flash is both simple and difficult. If you have any questions just email me at [email protected], I will be happy to help you in any way I can. I'm a full time writer at ACS, so you can find me there also.

I originally used Odin to flash CWM using the file listed in one of the main threads "SkyrocketCWMrecovery.tar" found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
It seemed to work fine, but when I started flashing ICS ROMS, I kept getting boot loops. I then read that people were having success when using the following CWM version, so I flashed it: CWM 5.5.0.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570498&page=16
I was able to install the ICS ROM successfully, however, I am not able to complete a nandroid backup now for some reason. They just keep hanging and never completing. So my questions are:
1) Now that I have CWM installed, how do I actually put the phone into download mode so I can use Odin to re-flash the original CWM above ?
2) Or do you have a CWM flashable zip that I can revert to or upgrade to so I can complete a nandroid.
3) I completed 2 nandroid backups prior to changing to the v5.5.0.4, but since have not been able to. Can you think of any reason why this might be i general ?
Thanks a lot !
u can odin back the skyrocketcwmrecovery it use rom manager under market to install. diwbload mode is simply turn phone off, then hold volume up while insert usb cord hooked up to computer, and wait.

If you are having problems creating a nandroid. You will need to put a file .hidenandroidprogress into your /clockworkmod folder.

Im agree with you. Waiting is better
I used "expresso_recovery" but it did not work right. The tab just looped the boot image. It did install CWM and I used it to load stock image and then move to CM9 again. I want to run the OTA 4.0.4 stock image rooted, but I think we need help from the devs.
I updated yesterday to 4.0.4 flashed cwm through Odin and then installed root file through cwm same files I did for 4.0.3 and everything works fine. Actually even better cause when I flashed cwm on 4.0.3 I didn't have the Amin. in cwm that I do now.

I odin'd back to stock just to take the ota update. I re-rooted using the same method I used for 4.0.3, but managed to increment my custom flash count a few extra times...Reason is because of the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script.
If that file exists on the factory firmware, and you have a custom recoery installed, it will overwrite your custom recovery with the stock recovery at every boot. The way around it is to check for the existance of that file and rename it or erase it, or, as in my case, I flashed TWRP and used it's built in file manager to mount /system and rename the file before I booted, once I realized why the recovery was reverted to stock.

Or pervert it for your own... uh... perversions. Most of the custom ROMs support an init.d function that lets you install scripts that start at run time. Tools like System Tuner can also put their stuff in init.d if you have it. The stock ROM (like most stock ROMs) does not have it. Using the install_recovery.sh file, you can add it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772616&highlight=init+d
I'm a bit up **** creek, the CM11 KitKat install failed (and I know why) but now I'm trying to recover it on a Mac. My phone is sitting in CWM-based Recovery v6.0.0.8, I have wiped and restored, and the KitKat update is still sitting on my phone, but ADB and OSX don't recognize the device. I'm guessing the best plan is to update CWM, but I don't have a microSD adapter ATM in order to get the update on the phone. Would I be able to update to KK if I managed that? The toolkits I see seem to always require windows. Any ideas would be thoroughly appreciated.

Do you have another device with an sdcard slot that you could put this in, download a TW 4.1.2 Rom zip for either CleanRom or BoneStock, then flash that to get you back in working order? Then you could update CWM to the latest version which supports KitKat.

How would you do that for OSX though (the driver issue that is)? I know natively OSX does not recognize S3 since Google instituted MTP protocol in ICS. My MBP definitely does not see my S3 by just plug and play. I thought that's why we have to use that Android tool by Google to connect ICS+ devices to Apple computers or use third party apps like AirDroid (which I prefer).

flash it, download rom manager for CWM or goomanager for TWRP and install recovery from one of those apps. Then you're good to flash KitKat.
