What's up XDA, quick question:
I rooted my phone using a jesusfreak recovery image. Now I would like to try one of the Cyanogen Mod roms. Do I need to root my phone again with a Cyanogen Mod recovery image?
FYI This is a T-mobile G1.
Hi all,i have just rooted with unrevoked 3.21,did a nandroid backup and titanium backup and would like to install custom rom.I used rom manager,flashed clockworkmod recovery via the option there and put the rom zip in root of sd card and select install rom from sd card.When i select start to backup current rom and wipe data and cache,it boots into recovery and then a exclamation mark with yellow triangle pops up and stayed there.I pressed the power button and out comes and error saying ....invalid update argument??and installation was aborted.i was able to boot back into phone...
pls help//
Thanks!!
Did you already toggle signature verification? If not you can either flash the rom yourself from recovery or (also in recovery) toggle signature verification to get rom manager working.
so i must toggle to disable?how abt the exclaimation mark?i read that it is the stock recovery?
Not 100% sure but when i first rooted i tough i also head the exclamation mark even tho i had clockwork mod, did you try to boot in to recovery manually?
its my first time flashing new rom too..i did not try to flash via recovery option as i heard rom manager is safer..so flash via recovery?
Would've been wiser to have read up on everything before rooting
well,i did read up before rooting..still new to all these..i googled my problem and cant seem to find solution..
If you had read up you'd know how to flash a custom ROM as guides include both at the same time. Go read the rooting guide in the Dev section, covers everything you need to know
ok i am back from more reading..pls correct me if i m wrong..
some users had the same error as me...exclamation mark when booting into recovery..a suggestion was to flash cwm again in rom manager as sometimes it does stick when using unrevoked root method?
i was on the gingerbread leak, but got tired of it cuz its not completely stable, and i had clockwork mod 3.1.0.1 and it worked fine. i flashed back to ec05, froyo, and flashed clockwork mod 3.1.0.1 and it keeps freezing. i have ran error checking on my computer and re formated it in android and no luck. keeps freezing in the same spot! do i need to try a different clockwork version?
I have never had that issue, but how long are you giving it to run the backup? Also, why did you need to re flash cwm? Are you using rom manager or 3 finger boot to get into recovery? Here is a link to the acs recovery which is a modified version of cwm 4. If you install it you will have acs recovery on 3 finger boot and whatever recovery that is included with your kernel (probably cwm 3.1.0.1) via rom manager still.

it would run perfectly smooth on gingerbread. and it gets stuck on backing up system on file #11596 or something like that, and clockwork doesnt have an offical recovery for my phone so i have to use odin to flash a recovery. so i use the 3 finger boot. ill try the acs recovery and see what happens. if not ill have to go back to 3.0.0.5, which is the one that came with the rom.
I am new to the whole rooting and flashing roms and kernels. I rooted my epic 4g touch via QBKing77's videos and then followed his video on how to install the clockwork mod recovery with the agat recovery. Then I went to google play and bought ROM manager pro and clicked "flash clock workmod recovery" and it showes that I have the latest version flashed, but when I then go to "boot into recovery" it boots into the clockwork mod recovery but when I try to use my volume buttons to navigate nothing happens. But they work in AGAT recovery? Whats wrong? What should I do?
Thanks
Im having similar issues with CWM. I have premium installed and when I click boot to recovery it goes to a weird android recovery with an android twirling something but there is no option for an image nandroid backup...and when i click on make a backup from the CWM menu it takes me to the same screen but says error and aborts... have the stock root...ff18....i have verified root. I also have odin mobile...it would be nice to be able to just upload whatever i meed from there without having to go thru all this odin stuff...Never had to with my att skyrocket 2
Why did you buy rom manager pro. Rom Manager can not flash recoveries on this phone. Recoveries are packed into the initramfs of our kernel unlike most phones. At best you get a temp flash which by the way has proven to be an unsafe thing.
I am not familiar if anyone has any updated safe repacks with just plain stock cwm. But there are custom recoveries based on it for stock TW roms. CM9 has stock CWM and TWRP though.
I don't think the video told you to buy rom manager pro and or to try and flash recoveries with it. You flash kernels that have recoveries. You can do this with tar's in odin/mobile odin and or if you have custom recovery cwm zips then.
AHHH was about to say i just realized i needed to update the correct kernel in order for it to work...thank you for the lightning quick response tho...

Okay thanks. So i can use the agat recover to wipe caches and install zips?
I updated my system to 4.4.2 KitKat ota. Now I can't get my phone to root.. I have tried Odin and chainfire root method and it says pass but it won't root or install SuperSU any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks
To root u need to flash a recovery thru odin and then boot to recovery and flash superuser
I was told to flash philz recovery through Odin and check the root option. But I don't see that option! So do I need to flash SuperSU through Odin or recovery?? Thanks for the info..

I flashed it through recovery.
You need to Odin recovery of choice (I recommend philz latest) boot into recovery, and flash the SuperSU zip file, boot phone back into system, open supersu (if it force closes go into play store and update it) do necessary updating and disabling knox and viola you're rooted. Hope I helped.

I did the same thing suggested here and it worked just fine for me. Flashed Philz and then the chainfire root and then got myself the Wicked X rom and Im never going back to stock except for the theme look
