I downloaded ROM Manager after I got s-off and root, and it won't let me look at ROMs unless I flash the latest clockwork recovery. I'm using the custom one that came with s-off, so would it be safe to flash to this new one straight from ROM Manager?
Yes. That's what I had to do also. Do you have superuser? There's a file somewhere floating in this forum that installs su. After I installed that I updated the recovery from rom manager and I was good to go.

Here is the patch you flash in recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160745
"Simply install this patch via CWM and reboot. From there you can proceed to run any root apps you need (such as Titanium)."

Just S-OFF'd and rooted my wife's Inc2. Does anyone know if it is ok to use ROM Manager to flash Clockwork Recovery after using the Revolutionary tool to install their custom Clockwork Recovery? The reason I want to is because ROM Manager doesn't seem to recognize the Revolutionary CW Recovery that their tool installs.
Does it work? Will it ruin recovery? What's the story?
Revolutionary doesnt push SU unless they updated it to. And you need root to flash recovery with rom manager. If you cant get recovery installed with revolutionary, youll have to install it with fastboot.

Thanks Times,
I used their tool which (after S-OFF) pushes a custom clockwork recovery which I then used that to flash SU onto it. But now I was wondering if it was ok to use ROM Manager to push a clockwork recovery that it could recognize. But it looks like Beenz was able to with success, just looking to see what others have done or know.
Thanks!
I also have the CWM installed by Revolutionary. In ROM Manager, go to menu --> manual flash override. I've been using it with no problems without having to reflash CWM. The only drawback is that every time ROM Manager starts up, it tells me that there is an newer version of CWM available. Not the end of the world.
So reflash or don't, works either way.
Thanks xenakis.

Oh yeah, if you have root already, you can flash CWM that rom managet downloads.

So I followed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514434 and installed superuser and then rebooted my phone. I tried using titanium backup and it says it doesn't have root access. I tried other apps that needed root access and they all said the same. If I have superuser installed, shouldn't I be rooted. What did I do wrong?
You install busy box?

Yeah I did, it says, "BusyBox Installer was not allowed root access!"
Try using the stickied (sticky'd?) root guide. It has version 3.0.5 of superuser. I had to use this version and then update via the superuser app.
Wipe cache and dalvik and then flash su

I would just Odin the stock ROM and start all over at this point if I was you. You may have trashed up the system at this point trying to do other stuff.

Alright I figured out my problem. The posted superuser zip was for android 1.6 devices. I found the correct zip and root works. Thanks guys!

lol sorry about that! I updated it, I was stuck on the decisions of either adding the full website or just linking directly to the file and i guess I derped on which url to copy lol
I haven't done much with my phone lately and I'm thinking about updating my software cause of some issues.
I was thinking about using the PARANOIDandroid 2.99 and it said I should update my recovery version and I was wondering how I should do that?
Any point in the right direction would be cool. I'm not a noob just out of date.
download goo manager and use it to flash the latest twrp or you could get the zip file posted in the twrp thread and flash that in recovery then reboot..
I believe officially, twrp doesn't supply flashable zips; if downloaded from their website, you'll have to use fastboot.
'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'

I updated my recovery trough the ROM manager app. Its an easy way, just press flash CWM. Works perfectly for me.

Goo manager is the same thing as ROM manager, only its free and flashes a much better recovery.
Go with twrp

I'm on a 4.1 .2 ROM and I'm using rom manager recovery what recovery do I need if I want to use 4.2 and what if I already have a recovery can I use two at the same time.or do I need to delet rom manager.
I have read that the newest ClockworkMod Recovery will not create the nested "/0" folders.
I recommend using the latest TWRP though.
You can update ClockworkMod from ROM Manager or you can install TWRP from the GooManager app.

Yes it will overwrite. You just need to flash it. And yes twrp works with 4.1.2

I installed clockwork mod recovery from rom manager, is it possible to switch that for twrp and if so how?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Go into Doc's thread stickied in Dev section and download the TWRP.zip and flash it. Yep, that easy.
Or you can install Goomanager from market and install recovery that way. You may incur some overwrite issues. Maybe not though.
