Has anyone tried the touch recovery flashed by ROM manager on their Nexus and are there any bugs with it? I am abit gun shy with ROM manager flashing anything on anything till I hear others have done it and what happened.
I can confirm it works perfectly, at least with regular flashing tasks and it's definitely more convenient than using the volume and power buttons
why not just fastboot flash it yourself so then you dont have to have rom manager flash it?
also, i like it alot.
I flashed CWM touch using the galaxy nexus toolkit and its been working fine for me.. I have already used it for a nandroid backup and flashed several radios with the touch version
Works perfectly. Don't worry about issues
I love it, no issues with it. Flash it with Rom Manager but that's where I'd stop with RM. Probably best to do all the flashing manually.

The touch version works just fine, though I've recently switched to TWRP: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 - integrates nicely with goo.im
I personally wouldn't flash it with rom manager myself as flashing in fastboot is dead simple anyways. I use the one from development section and it works great for everything I have done with it.
I flashed CWM touch using the galaxy nexus toolkit and manually using fastboot. Both methods seem to work, but Rom manager still shows current recovery as CWM 5.5.0.4 after phone reboot. Any idea what am I doing wrong ??

rom manager only updates what it has if you flash it through rom manager
Yes, I can see it in recovery. Thanks.

I just installed ROM Manager and it installed CWM 5.... but my CWM Purple is still there. When I reboot into recovery using ROM it will boot into CWM5 but what I use the 3 button press it will boot into CWM3.1.
Whats the deal with this?

if you flash through cwm you wont have that issue... rom mananger works different... in fact i dont use rom manager for that same reason
ROM manager flashes a temporary CWM. To get it permanant* you have to download the full recovery.zip and flash it.

Ok, so I have a t989 running Darkside Beta 2. I made the mistake of installing ROM Manager and then ClockworkMod Recovery. I noticed from the start that when I go into recovery, my hardware buttons will not navigate the menu, but I ignored this because ROM Manager has a UI to install the ROM which allowed me to install Darkside without using the recovery interface. Everything worked fine, but suddenly, my phone stopped connecting to T-Mobile's network. The phone still works on Wi-fi, including wi-fi calling, but simply will not connect to the network. At this point, when I try to flash a different ROM through ROM Manager, it now force closes every time, no matter what whenever superuser permissions are granted. And I can't manually flash anything because the hardware buttons do not work on the recovery menu. Is there a way I can uninstall the CWM Recovery? Is there a way I can still access the stock recovery menu? I should have never installed ROM Manager and CWM Recovery... :\ Help!
Odin the recovery again or Odin back to stock and start over
Behold the power of google!
Touch recovery or non touch? if it's touch, you don't use buttons. You can use Odin to flash cwm. I don't use ROM manager for anything but fixing permissions

There is really no need to have Rom Manager anymore. When I first got into rooting my phones and flashing ROMs , I was too scared to use anything but Rom Manager because I heard about "bricking". I always remember people saying not to use Rom Manager and to manually get into recovery to flash or whatever. Although I have never bricked a phone using Rom Manager, I started to notice qwerky things within the app. Manually getting into recovery is much more safe if you know what you are doing. I dont want to rely on this app with a $600 phone. F that!
Anyone having issues with either of these, I just had to warrenty my wifes phone, so when I got it back I rooted it no problem then of course first thing I want to do is a nandroid backup, so I flashed the newest cmw 6.0.1.5 it hangs on wipe cache, tried to reinsatll cmw a few times same thing. so then I installed twrp newest version, it installed and when I go into recovery(the screen with the twrp logo and gray background) I get the home screen with no options, again tried several times to install same issue, lastly I tried the touch version of CMW keep getting errors, cannot open cache etc. Any Ideas??? I really need to clear the cache between different roms, shouldnt have to use super wipe, besides have no clue where to find that anymore. Im personally on a sgs3 and all works well. I'm very familiar with bot of these as I flash non stop on my sgs3 but Huston we have a issue here! UGH
Thanks Rob
I would recommend that you odin clockworkmod tar so you can flash superuser zip from it. Once you have root/superuser, download goomanager via playstore. Run install script andbit will download then flash the latest TWRP by itself.
TWRP is the best recovery i have used.

I like twrp but I wish it had a better way of handling the backups, like the way ROM manager let's you..

I did this but twrp latest does not work as stated above, when in recovery the main screen shows up but no buttons, and cwm works fine but hangs on clear cache.
Hi all,
I have flashed my GN2 with CVM and when I reboot into recovery, the screen goes all jumbled up and then then it reboots and does the same thing and then shuts down. With stock recovery it was fine.
Tried it with TWRP and get the same thing. I've used Toolkit v3 as well to see if that worked but I can't get a custom recovery to work... re flashing stock recovery from Toolkit is fine and it works no problem. Anyone else had this issue? All I want to do is root and try CM 10.1 nightly but can't even get to recovery to flash the ROM. Is there another way to install a ROM? Odin? But then need a .tar of the ROM which I can't find, any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Are you on dll7?
If yes, new bootloader could be a issue

do the recovery with mobile odin
He is for sure in DLL7. I had the same. Twrp 2.3.2.3 works great in dll7 but not the latest one.
Cwm does not work.

DLL7 is a reference to kernel version? What about the ROMs then do they have to be DLL7 compatible? Also where can I get the CM kernel and is that needed for CM 10.1?
I'm totally boggled here, I've never had problems like this. I've rooted my T-999, no problems there, but when I install CWM, either the non-touch or touch versions, it doesn't boot into that recovery. When you recovery boot, either manual or through ROM Manager, it just boots to the stock recovery. I've tried re-installing through ROM Manager and through Odin, to no avail. I'm pulling my hair out...help!
Just use the the root 66 method and then use goomanager to install twrp recovery. Did this process for my brothers S III last night over the phone.
I had the same problem before. Tried multiple ways but the cwm recovery will not stick, even though it appears working in Odin. Only way I got cwm recovery to install is by going back to an earlier version os.
You need to find an earlier version of factory stock jelly bean or better yet ics and flash it with Odin. Make sure it's a factory image. After that just root and install cwm recovery with Galaxy s3 toolkit. Then just install whatever rom you like.

Why do all that when you can flash the latest through ODIN; and get the correct partition tables setup, and that has root, and then install the recovery via an app? Seems more logical to me.

I was not aware you can install the recovery through an app. I'm not familiar with the process so maybe you can talk the op through it.
When I had my problem with the cwm recovery not sticking from Odin, it was when the jelly bean update was just release for T-Mobile. Just letting the op know that I had the same problem and how I got it working.

Okay I thought I was missing something. Ya the new update surprised me as well last night with ODIN not working to flash a recovery. It's available in CWM app ROM manager I prefer TWRP though which is available in GooManager via menu>Install OpenRecoveryScript>yes> so long as it says "2.4.1.0" and "D2TMO" then yes and boot recovery to install from there.
I followed mt3g's advice and did the root66 method and then installed via ROM Manager and I had success. Flashing a new ROM now. Thanks!
Cool bro.
