So I need to know how to root and install clockwork mod. I do not have access to a windows PC at the moment...
Thanks
You can use z4root from the market to root. Then you can use ROM Manager (market) to install the redirector.
it wasn't on the market, but I found it on google
Will try it
Thanks
You know.... Im not having any luck AT ALL at this stuff
I'm running this app and it just keeps quitting... I already restarted the device and tried again. The process starts, it moves and then the phone vibrates and the app quits without finishing the process....
Arghhh!!!! Im tired trying to root this thing and installing clockworkmod
You can't use rom manger to install cwm.

If you can't get it to work, your best bet is to get your hands on a windows machine and run it from there.
So, can I install the supernova Rom without root and also without the clockworkmod using the standard method down vol, power button, camera button?
What happens if I do this process?

No. If you use standard recovery, you need a properly signed update.zip which you won't find. You need clockworkmod to flash different roms and you need root to install clockworkmod. Once you have cwm, you can use rooted or unrooted roms, but most roms come rooted.
You can't install cwm.on the stock di18 kernel using rom manager.

Sorry to tell you (again), but you are wrong. If the Epic is rooted, with z4root or otherwise, rom manager can ABSOLUTELY install cwm 2.5.1.0 on ANY stock release. Please stop posting inacurate information on this. Thanks

Any idea why I still have the stock recovery?
For whatever reason the stock kernel will not support rom manager- before the last update there was a modified stock kernel made by koush that supported rom manager. Right now if you want rom manager support you must have a kernel that supports it- the good news is a lot of those kernels have root built it.
As I said before use noobnl one click clock work installer - just start with the "runlast" file- another option is to use the oneclick root/clockwork stickied to the top of the dev forum. After that you can get to clockwork via the three button press and go crazy installing whatever kernel/rom you want
This is a quote from another forum on using rom manager to install cwm on stock. Sorry Leatherneck I just do not see any info that says you can use rom manager to flash cwm.
It is possible to do pretty much all of it with better terminal emulator, especially if you're rooted. I was thinking about doing a write-up on it, but I'm half drunk tonight and about to move tomorrow. It'll be a few days at the least. If you can follow code at all, you can download the one click root and recovery and translate the adb commands in the .bat file into something you can do from a command line.

I know we have a thread for all the ROMs but we just got included in the new update for ROM manager so the EVO is supported. What do we need to do to start getting our ROMs on there? If there is anything I can do please let me know!

To get added to the ROM list, and use the OTA system and customizers, etc, devs should follow the instructions here:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/03/rom-manager-and-third-party-roms.html
There's like 2 dozen ROMs for Droid listed (as well as a bunch for N1/Dream/Sapphire). Hoping to build up the Evo community on it as well!

All I did was flash a rom manger friendly rom and installed it. Went to market and downloaded rom manager. Then loaded it and downloaded clock boot from there. Went through that process.
Now I just click reboot to recovery from rom manager and it boots me right into the custom clock recovery and you can do however from there.
It's worth every penny!!!!!

not yet but toast and maejrep say they do have a method to flash /recovery its just manual and includes an older version eng hboot.
the clockwork rom manager method basically puts itself into an update.zip which is signed so the stock HTC recovery loads it and bam! custom recovery appears!
im still wondering how hes able to sign an update.zip file which HTC allows cuz IMO, that was the missing key!

It's just a test signed zip that does a hot recovery replace (it doesn't actually flash). You guys are running a Test HTC image, so test keys work on it.
Will this work with Froyo?

I was going to test it and I keep running into problems.
Maybe it's the ROM Manager? It won't auto reboot (maybe I don't get the whole idea) and if I manually try to update it with the recovery mode with update.zip, it fails immediately.
Anyone else having this issue?
I notice that when installing the recovery, there is a update.zip place in the root of the SD card. I think that is the recovery file. Anyway, I did a reboot to recovery mode, and it worked no problem. Reboot the phone again, it will boot back into android OS.
Man..this one sick program but brilliant.
PS. Got the paid version also. I think this will comes in handy later.

does anyone know if rom manager will work if you used the unrevoked method to root?
This won't work on unrevoked. It requires rooting via toast's method using the test image. You can find instructions for this method in the sticky thread pg 1 of this forum, how to root the HTC EVO.

I tried this in the Q-n-A but no response so thought I would post it here. Sorry for the clutter.
I am rooted with Toasts method and have his .6 rom running (Thanks Toast )
I have been trying to follow the fake flash thread as well as the quickboot.
Are they dependent on each other? Do I need to do fake-flash THEN quick boot to get the rom manager to be able to reboot into recovery?
Or do all I need to do is push the reboot and follow the quick boot instructions?
Well atm quickboot is how you get to the recovery. They havent frigured out how to get there from just booting up yet.*It will come in due time, we have great devs here.*
But you can either have one or the other, hell even both. But the Fake flash you can do with out a computer*Toash method*
The Rom Manager is basicly the same thing as the fake flash there is just a app for that. from what I know
Hope this could be of some help
Ok cool, so if I do the Quick Boot thing, I can reboot to recovery through the Rom Manager directly? Sounds like the way to go for now.

I did the fake flash first......which will install the update.zip to sdcard which is ur on board recovery then you will have to read the quickboot thread to fix the ability to reboot, the reboot file needs to be replaced before quickboot or Rom manager can reboot the phone into recovery.

OK, I thought all I needed to do was the quickboot thread, then your response got me all confused again about what I need to do.
From my understanding, Rom Manager and Quickboot do the same thing as far as rebooting to recovery.
just get the free version of Rom Manager and then the paid license.. thats all you need

OK, if you are rooted with Toasts all you have to do is follow the instructions that are in the Quickboot thread.
I loaded Rom Manager and clicked download clock thingy.
Then I rebooted to toasts recovery and ran the windows.bat file to get access to ADB.
follow the quickboot thread.
Now from Rom Manger you can select reboot to recovery and that will take you into a reboot and end up in recovery where you can backup, wipe, flash etc.
No computer needed.

well ROM Manager force closes on me when I try and download clockwork and then if i try and relaunch it without rebooting it will run and download clock but then just stays at su request and then force closes..i imagine because it force closes the first time i try and click the clock button.

Okay I wiped everything and reloaded ROM using clockwork and then installed ROM Manager and choose manual override and the su permisssion screen came up correct and choose allow all and then hit recovery rom and nothing happens..it doesnt force close though
I don't know if it was my rom or what but I wiped everything and loaded a new version of rom and now rom manager boots to recovery!! I think it had something to do with Su permission cause this time it went to the correct screen and I selected allow all always and its all good.
I flashed right from phone! I purchased rom manager to support your wonderful work.

Just installed the latest version of ROM Manager to flash CM7.1 on my Defy.
When I try to install ClockworkMod Recovery & chose 'Defy' as my phone model it says "Defy doesn't have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a CLockworkMod based recovery manually?" The options offered are Yes/No...which I haven't
What do I do next? First time @ this...The flashing CM7.1 videos on youtube seem to be simple...its the forums that confuse the hell out my head.
Please help!
As I remember, CM7 has its 2nd-init Recovery bundled.
You need not install another...
Please check it on CM7.1.

I think you need to check first your CWM is properly working before trying ROM Manager. Have you root your phone in the first place now?
The stable 2nd-init for my Defy running gingerbread is SndInitDefy_1.9. Find this, download and install. Launching the app then will ask you to install CWM.
After confirming 2nd-init working, then you can proceed with flashing CM7 via CWM.

Yes I rooted my Defy successfully a few days back. I even installed SETCPU, setvsel & other apps that require your phone to be rooted.
I installed Defy2nd Init from here, it is version 1.9 as you say.
After installing stable version of 2nd init, I turned off USB debugging & reboot...I see a new boot menu with a few options there. I chose default boot...After android OS starts up I try to flash CMod recovery from ROM Manager ...it again asks me the same question of version 2.xx or 3.xxx
Please Help!
Im no expert and am infact quite a noob to all this flashing business but from what I understand you dont flash the ROM via ROM Manager. You need to follow the install instructions on the forum.
It will tell you about creating wiping data/factory, wipe cache, and installing the ROM from your SD card
This is all done in the recovery menu and not ROM manager.
see this INSTALL THREAD or try THIS INSTALL THREAD
The latter one is the guide I used and it all worked perfectly.
There are other handy NOVICE GUIDES here too
Good luck
Yeah try the above mentioned method if the Rom manager is not working....its not that tough

Your phone is not finishing the process it seems. After Odin says pass do you get a big red Android on the screen? If not flash the cf auto root file but uncheck auto reboot in Odin first. Then when it finishes, pull the cable and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery and manually boot to recovery by holding volume up+home+power and it should finish installing root.
I don't know what the post above me is taking about. Installing superuser isn't going to magically give you root. js

It's basically the same thing. Cf auto root will install a special recovery made by chainfire and a cache.img with a root zip. It's supposed to flash that zip then restore stock recovery. I've never seen cf auto root fail to do the job so im not sure what went wrong.
But the way you did it was you installed your own custom recovery and manually flashed a root zip created by me instead. Only thing different here is that you still have that custom recovery instead of stock recovery now.

The custom recovery is the same with the exception that it gives you additional privileges over stock recovery. Like installing custom roms, so if you're planning on a custom rom soon then you may as well just stick with the custom one. I do however recommend you download goo manager from the playstore and updating your recovery to the newest with it before trying to flash anything. The recovery I gave you may be a little outdated. And if for any reason you want stock recovery back I'll make a odin tar of it and place it in this post

Personally I think the chances of your efs going bad are slim and a backup is more for paranoid people. With that said it never hurts to back it up. I just wouldn't restore it unless you have to.
Hi all. I have rooted my s4 mini using kingroot. I have installed adaway and xmod because they were my main reasons for rooting. But i'd like to go a bit deeper now and learn a bit more about rooting as im a novice. But before i can do that ive read that i should create a back up, am i right in thinking a nandroid and a back up are the same thing? Well anyway my problem is ive tried to create a back up using cwm rom recovery but my device is not supported. Ive also read something aboit phils cwm recovery 6 ( at least i think it was called that) but from my understanding i need access to a laptop or a pc to be able to take that route. I dont have access to a pc or laptop at the moment so im just here to ask if anybody can advise me on how i can create a back up for my device. My plan is to learn the ropes using this device as its an old device and when im more comfortable im going to root my galaxy alpha. Any help and answers will be appreciated, im not so great with tech and the lingo but im wanting to learn. Thanks
Unrooted
Well i have unrooted to be safe. My son plays with my phone and i dont feel safe without out a back up or nandroid. I would still like info so i can reroot n get adaway back and xmod for the unlimited lives on candy crush, and sandbox mode on clash of clans. If anybody has any info that could be of any use to me, even just a link to point me in the right direction it would be great.
Try installing TWRP for backups. i am also a beginner but i tried backing up the stock rom, flashing custome roms, And restoring the backups. Done this almost five times a week.
Here are files.

Forgot to mention that my stock rom is 4.2.2 Jelly bean. I had flashed cm12.1 rom before, which triggered my knox to 0x1.
Thanks il check those out now
Yes twrp is a good recovery...i am using it too and it can be installed without a pc
Davidich could you direct me to a link or explain how i can install it without using a pc. Do i need root to install it or can i create recovery then reroot? Is it as simple as finding file and installing it by checking unknown sources. Then opening up twrp app and applying recovery? Or do i need to go into download mode to apply it? Any answers will be appreciated. Thanks
Well ive rooted again and installed twrp because i needed root access to enter twrp. When i open twrp it asks me to install busy box, i accept the request but it doesnt download. What is busybox? Do i need it to back up? Ive just read something about mounting system using terminal emulator and then that should allow busybox to download. Am i going in the right direction?

Busy box can be downloaded directly from play store. As for installing a recovery without a computer well that's RISKY. There are apps that can help like Flashfire, Rashr and Flashify. These can flash various things without a custom recovery. BUT they are not guaranteed to work. My experience is with Flashfire by Chainfire. With this I was able to flash a stock ROM without a computer. But the app when I last looked was in beta stage. Also if something goes wrong you will need a computer to fix... If it hasn't bricked your phone. Sooo much safer thru Odin on a computer.
Install TWRP and backup
