[Q] ROM Manager from Android Market on the G2X

Hi all.
I'm interesting in beginning to make some mods to my G2X.
I've seen some people posting that there is a very unique way to successfully get CWM (ROM MANAGER) on the phone.
I came from a Samsung Vibrant. On the Vibrant, I simply Downloaded ROM Manager from the market, and that worked like a charm.
I've downloaded ROM manager from the market on my G2x. There have been 2 or 3 updates to the app since I downloaded it.
With the version of ROM Manager that I have, am I okay to begin flashing zips, or will I mess my phone up?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Start by deleting this post. Then search. Then, if still confused, repost in the right section. This is just going to get flamed.

1st, welcome to the G2x.
2nd, this should have been posted in Q&A to keep the Dev Section clean.
3rd, though RM has a version of CWM for the G2x, it is best to flash recovery through NVFlash.
You can get all you need from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

Wrong forum buddy, there is a G2x Q&A where someone will answer your question, this forum is only for development of the G2x, not for questions.

Flame on.
Wrong forum. Should be in questions.
To answer your question... yea that works but you should nvflash Clockworkmod first.
Nvflash will stick and enables power+down to get into recovery while booting.
Simply using rom manager WILL work but doesn't enable power+volume down on boot up. So if you use rom manager and something screws up and you bootloop... it'll be harder to fix.
Lesson: nvflash once... then use rom manager as normal. Best of both worlds.
G2x CM7.1 style - Android 2.3.4

Thanks everyone for your help.
Sorry about posting in the wrong spot... I'll make my way to Q&A.

Id like to be the first to say sorry for some rude people. Nvflash is how we get down in the g2x forums.
Its not hard either
this will get you going if you havent figured out yet.

[Q][i9023] About the custom CWM recovery

Excuse me if it's the wrong place to ask this question.
In a lot of threads/guides/etc i read that it's best for the i9023 model to use the modified CWM recovery posted in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686).
My question is: can't I just use the non-modified CWM recovery by koush? (http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html) Or is it important to use the modified one?
thank you

j_r0dd has done an awesome job updating cwm from the latest source (with his own tweaks). Koush has not updated his ns build since 3.0.2.4, which was the last version to NOT work for the 9023.

Noob needs help with rooting 4.2.2

Hey all,
I've looked through threads here and I'm just overwhelmed. I had my S3 rooted on 4.1.2 but Verizon kept coming up with these updates that I could either defer for 5 days or...update. When I chose update, it took me back to TeamWin. So I redid a fresh format from the TeamWin screen (I really don't mind rebuilding my phone and contacts) and I was able to update to 4.2.2 after that but but I'm still getting that Verizon update warning.
First of all, how do re-root my phone with 4.2.2? I thought TeamWin would disappear but it didn't. So I went back to that screen and went to Download. Now I'm on a screen with the Android robot that says "Downhloading... Do not turn off target !!"
I'm not sure what it's downloading.
I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. I would be fine with a moderating moving it.
Thanks a lot!

First, this is T-Mobiles forum, you want Verizons.
Second, if twrp is still installed all you need to do is flash the SuperSU or superuser zip you can find eith a quick search.
Third, that is download mode. Only for use with Odin.
Fourth, considering you don't know these things, I suggest you read up on some of the many guides you can find here on xda.

I highly suggest you do quite a bit of reading before you start messing with rooting and flashing roms. You could very easily brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing or if you flash a file that isn't meant for your phone.

Also it is VERY important you be in the correct device forum. There are 5 S3 forums.
Moved to Verizon S3 Q&A

Verizon does not have an official 4.2.2. We are still on 4.1.2 MF1 as the official. If you have 4.2.2 it is from a rom you have flashed.

Only the S4 have Touchwiz 4.2.2 so we will assume that you are talking about AOSP roms as they are 4.2.2. Please be clear in your post so we can help you. Now to teach you about download mode it's there for you to flash stock Touchwiz back to your device via a software called Odin. Now what you just ask about (download mode) you could have Google searched it yourself and got your answers faster.

[Completed] [Q] Where do I start

I have a galaxy note 2 (SPRINT)
My details are
SPH-L900 GALAXY NOTE 2 (SPRINT)
Android version 4.3.1
cyanogenmod version 10.2-20131214 snapshot
kernal version 3.0.64-CMg9d16c8a
I am simply trying to learn where to go from here. I tried getting a new rom from room manager premium but it always says download error. I was trying to get 10.2 rc2 stable. But none of the other work either. I think I might need a new kernal but am lost on which one is right for me. Any help is appreciated. So basically I'll take the Eli5
Approach and go from there. How to get the right roms for me, kernels etc.? Thanks guys

Hi!
Easy, here's the forum section for your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-sprint
Now you need to go through the development section, and original development section. Read about the ROMs and kernels in the opening posts. See what appeals to you...and flash away!
Do a nandroid backup in recovery first...in case you need to restore.
And read the flashing instructions very carefully.
Good luck!! ?

Samsung Mega 6.3 Kernel Failed 2018

Hi,
Good day! First, I'd like to apologize for creating a new thread which may be a duplicated of an old thread. Trust me, I read most of the threads related to Samsung Mega 6.3 where Kernel Failed after installing a custom or stock rom and I couldn't seem to find the right thread that will help me solve my problem. I know you guys are very busy and I would be very grateful if you'll give me minute of your time to help me out.
Here's my problem: Few days ago, I bought a secondhand Samsung Mega 6.3 I9025 LTE (4.4 kitkat) version here in Malaysia. I rooted the device and installed TWRP to be able to install a customer ROM. I backed up(i was under the impression that it was backed up) the files before wiping out and installing a new customer rom. The custom rom failed to install and what made it worst was I couldn't find the back up anywhere in TWRP. So I decided to download a 4.2 Stock rom(i know this is a mistake but i couldn't download the 4.4 stock rom in sammobile) which I found online. I flashed it through ODIN, it was successful but I got error when I turned on the phone.
Image size too large W:1080 H:1920
display image fail
SECURE FAIL: KERNEL
Now, even if I flash TWRP & SU through ODIN, it just doesn't go through the phone, I dont get to enter recovery mode. I think I brick my phone. So, please, here's what I possibly need.
1. What do I do know? I'm begging, help me out.
2. Where else can I download a free 4.4.2 Stock Rom? I links in the previous threads are no longer working and I really cannot download it from Sammobile.
3. If you can send me a link visa email; [email protected] or PM me here as to where I can download it or how to resolve this, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks and More power to this team!

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to take a look at the following area of the forum that's specific to your device and variants.
