Rom Manager doesn't seem to know that I've got CWM installed. When I rooted and installed CWM I didn't do it through Rom Manager originally. Now CWM won't let me use it to manage my backups and keeps asking me if I want to install CWM? I've got Google Wallet installed so I'm a little nervous flashing things needlessly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
edit: CWM v5.5.0.4
do you try "wipe cache" and "advanced->wipe dalvik cache?"
Thanks, I just tried, it took quite a while to clear the cache. When I booted up it went through a whole Optimizing Apps process, I'm not sure if that was due to wiping the dalvik cache? But it still didn't fix the Rom Manager issue.
Its probably not yet compatible if you have the touch version of cwm installed, so it wants to flash the standard one. Or you could always just let rom manager just reflash cwm overtop and then you may be good to go.

Maybe it can't detect it? I know we had to set which CWM version we had installed on the SGS.
Maybe try to run the install?

I don't have the touch version installed (doesn't seem to be the touch version anyway). I should have said this in the first post but it CWM v5.5.0.4.

Flashing CWM over CWM shouldn't wipe my phone right? It's only the stock bootloader that requires a full wipe?
I installed ROM manager and then CWM via ROM manager last night and its CWM v5.5.0.2 which ROM manager thinks is the latest: perhaps it can't deal with 5.5.0.4 yet...

ah, that would probably do it...guess i'll just wait it out a little longer, thanks
I have the exact same issue as this Rom Manager refuses to see I have CWM installed so just keeps telling me I need to install it it also can't download and flash its own version and just freezes after download
So any updates on this or more users experiencing it ?
I think I've found the solution. In ROM Manager tap the menu button at the top and then tap Manual Flash Override. Next it'll ask you if you've flashed CWM manually so tap OK because that's what we've done. Next pick which GN you have and then choose CWM 3.x+. There you have it, it should work now.
Don't use ROM Manager - problem solved!!
Seriously, though, it's a TERRIBLE piece of software
I'm fairly new to using it but it seems decent, why is it so terrible? I had an eris before this and did everything manually through recovery, this seems like it's a lot better than that.
It's just more trouble than it's worth. Why not just manually flash CWM using fastboot and get your head around that as opposed to an app which can - frankly - break things?
Flashing it via fastboot is what causes the above issue. Since you flash it manually rom manager can't see it, that's why I posted the above steps to kind of "force" rom manager to see the manually installed version.
But if you're not using ROM Manager then what's the issue? Copy ROM to SD card, reboot to recovery, flash ROM...where is ROM Manager needed in that equation?
If you're not using it then there is no issue, but this thread isn't about using it or not, it's about getting it to work with the galaxy nexus when you manually flash CWM.
I like it for the backup and restore feature and being able to change the names used to backup

Best ClockWork Rom Manager Version For Desire?
okay i used the latest original untouched once yesterday installed perfectly, however after doing a backup it crashed on htc start up loop. i opened recovery and re flashed my backup all worked okay but am now wondering what if something happens when installing a custom rom. what is the best version to use.
thanks
Easiest, and safest way to flash is via your recovery from boot (ClockworkMod/AmonRa etc). ROM Manager itself has seen many issues recently and many people advise to stay clear of it until it's totally stable.

ROM Manager is made by ClockworkMod devs. It's an application, a standalone app whereas ClockworkMod is a recovery and this is what you would use to flash the ROM. If you have ClockworkMod as your recovery you flash a new ROM using this procedure:
Do this first to backup your existing ROM in case anything goes wrong.
Then do this to flash your new recovery.
Hopefully everything should go okay.
EDIT: You can leave ROM Manager where it is, it won't affect anything you do in the above procedures and you may find that your new ROM doesn't package it anyway so you won't have it anyway.

Just a quick question regarding ROM Manager and the Gnex. Coming from the Atrix, there seemed to be a conflict between ROM Manager and CWM. My question is, i've already got CWM installed, but according to ROM Manager, I need to install it again. Will these 2 CWM's interfere with each other, or am I safe to install it thru ROM Manager and be able to do back ups, and installs thru RM?

I installed the goodness as my first rom and following the guides it installed a modified CWM 5, the rogue version. I used Rom manager and installed the standard. WHen I reboot into recovery from the rom or using the pwr+up it boots into rogue, but when I reboot into recovery from rom manager it reboots into the standard cwm. I want to only use standard cwm, How do I get rid of and install it so when I boot into recovery manually it's the regular cwm.
Most don't recommend Rom manager, I would just stick with Rogue.. I had no problems with it..

Get rid of ROM manager it doesn't flash recovery right on this phone..and koush doesn't care to fix it...don't ever use the touch one either... Get a kernel with cwm in it at use mobile Odin to install....if using a GB ROM use the el26 if using a ics ROM don't use any recovery unless u hate your phone and want to brick it

Just stick with Rogue's. ROM Manager has been the source of a TON if bricks lately (mostly to do with CWM Touch). If you absolutely can't use Rogue you can use the stock CWM from EL26.
http://db.tt/rBZNsGaj
But really I'd stick with Rogue...
And ROM manager doesn't actually install recovery on the phone. When you flash a recovery in it it creates a temporary recovery for you to boot into. But ya, don't even bother messing with ROM manager for all the reasons everyone else has stated.

I totally agree here with the ROM Manager danger... When I had trouble in the past on a GB ROM, Koush didn't respond to any of my help requests.
I haven't had any issues lately, but in all fairness I do like the fact that ROM Manager will automatically reboot the phone into recovery, create a backup, and then boot back into Android. Also, I can delete or rename existing backups from right within Android with RM. I have restored the backed-up images with no issues too...
I've been on ICS since Calk's 1.0 FC06 ROM, and I have been fortunate enough to know to stay away from the touch recovery
You can delete or rename backups in android from any file manager app, most custom roms have the reboot mod to get to recovery and its a few clicks to backup and reboot to phone from recovery Rom Manager doesn't do anything special you can't do with your fingers and your trusting an app to do something for you instead of doing it yourself and making sure its done right

thanks for the feedback, I won't bother with rommanager anymore than lol. Also Can I use Rogue to flash Cyanogenmod and other roms, Some people are saying to use certain clockworkmod versions and saying rogue has caused bricks.
hey guys
let me start off by saying i am a noob to this site and android in general , ive learnt a lot from my galaxy s2 .
now i got the s3 , ive rooted it .. however i tried to upgrade to 4.1 awhile back . kept getting error .
anyways i want to upgrade to jellybean im sick of waiting like everyone else.
cm10 seems like a good rom , ive read a lot on this forum, could some one tell me what the first step is do i flash cwm first on the rogers stock or do i have to put ATT stock on it
thanks
cheers
Hi!
Welcome to the site! You'll really love the community here!
Here are some simple instructions I found for you: http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...elly-bean-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-preview-104742/
Just make sure you download the latest CWM from here (6.0.1.2 currently): http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2att.img
And flash it to your device.
Then follow those steps, wipe/format data partition, as it says there. CAREFUL make sure you download the latest CyanogenMod version from here too, the top one on the list is always newest, latest version came out today actually: http://get.cm/?device=d2att
Let me know how it goes and if you're enjoying it! Tried leaked version of JB on my S3 with Telus in Canada and didn't like the bugs in there...so let me know if the 'CM Finishing Touch' on there is really better than stock!

thanks man. i will give it a try soon and let you know..

Yup! Start off with CWM Recovery flash, when that's done, transfer file to device (internal sd card) and from the ROGERS stock rom you can do the apply update from zip option in CWM.

If you get the SGS3 All-in-one toolkit from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 , you can install CWM from it just make sure you have drivers installed, it can help you with that if you don't have them, and enable USB Debugging.
If that doesn't work, which I think it should, try to use this link a bit. Download the version they have it should be pretty recent.

Oh so now you have CWM? Well as long as you have it, you'll only need it once or twice to erase all data, then install CM and GApps.

Quick question, I flashed CWM recovery using the terminal, and I see it when I boot into recovery, but when I go to ROM Manager to flash CM10, it says to flash CWM Recovery, and won't let me access the list. I would've flashed CWM from ROM Manager, but the S3 wasn't on the list of devices. Is there anyway to get around this?

Hi there!
Basically you must first but the CWM ZIP file on your internal sdcard then boot into CWM, from there go to install zip file or something like that, then select from SD Card, find the zip, you're done!
Don't forget to do a factory reset through CWM before the CM10 update and maybe after too.
Let me how it goes,
Michael
Never liked CWM, I personally love TWRP as a recovery. Go to the app store and download GooManager.

But don't I already have CWM? Or is CWM and CWM Recovery two different things? Where would I get the CWM .zip for my rogers phone? I backed up my phone from recovery mode, does that mean I backed up my current ROM (stock rooted ROM)? And I backed up a few apps using Titanium Backup, if I use factory reset, would all my backups get erased? Thanks for your help!

Hi,
CWM = CWM Recovery; same thing just shorter .
The ZIP file for your rogers phone can be found here: http://get.cm/?device=d2att
Click the one at the top of the list as it is the newest.
Don't worry about the ROM because worst case scenario if you want to downgrade to stock, you can re-download it online and re-root.
For the apps, it depends where your backups are, usually, in TitBak, the backups are stored in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup which will be safe as formatting to factory settings and data partition in CWM doesn't format the internal or external SD Card. But I am not responsable if it does so be careful!

That would be with Odin you would redownload the Stock ROM for Rogers and then flash it. To reset counter, you can download the app TriangleAway for free from the Play Store and with root, it resets the counter. Then you can unroot.
Hi, I am currently on Cm10 rom and I want to update to cm10.1. I have Clockwork installed and Goo Manager.

I have no idea what to select to update my rom using Goo, I've tried searching and all the videos I've seen of people using Goo Manager, they never get into the problem since they don't have clockworkmod installed. I tried to uninstall Clockworkmod but it does not give me the option to. Someone please Help!
Its either Rom Manager + CWM or Goo Manager + TWRP, you cant mix and match unless you wanna have issues
For the S3 I would highly recommend TWRP, however you wont be able to restore your backups made with CWM through TWRP
To install TWRP, go into Goo Manager and select "install openrecovery script" and it'll install it. Then try to flash the update again.

I don't need to try and uninstall CWM? If I download openrecovery script, would it still bring me to the CWM mode? or will it just update my rom through Goo manager? NOTE: In the youtube videos I've watched, they did not wipe cache, etc. when updating a cyanogen rom, I did not do so either, would that be a problem also?

Goo Manager will install TWRP over CWM, so you dont need to do anything but wait for it to do its thing. When you go into recovery, it will look different because it will no longer be clockworkmod recovery, it will be TWRP (team win recovery project)
No, when you flash without clearing (also called a dirty flash) thats usually reserved for updates only, because either things were added that dont need clearing, or some files were changed to fix bugs. Although updates are usually done this way, the nature of some updates may still require you to do a full wipe and then flash, but for CM a dirty flash is usually fine. The dev will usually clearly state whether a dirty / clean flash is required for a particular update
Also, remember to make a backup before flashing though! You never know what may go wrong, or if the rom itself may be a bad download, so its better to play it safe and make a nandroid
