Hi Guys,
i have a quick question, i installed rom maneger too see and when i tryed to see what roms were available it asked me to install the cwm recovery.
question is:
is it save to install the recovery true rom maneger? have anybody done it on the et4g?
can we use rom maneger at all with our phone?
It has been highly suggested by many well known devs that you should NOT use this app.
The CWM it wants to install is designed for a phone with a recovery partition which our phone does not have.
You will most likely brick your phone and would be better off dropping it in a toilet.
Thanks for the reply guys, i appreciated.

Hi,
Just bought a hero a month ago. Rooted it and loaded a custom ROM today (MoDaCo). Everything went off without a hitch. I've searched a few websites looking for a ROM for android 2.0 (still on 1.5) but I can't seem to find it. Could someone help ?
do you need sense?

thanks for the fast reply. I have two other easy questions....
1) if I want to go back to the stock ROM that came with the phone in the box, how do I ?
2) if I want to load another ROM, do I have to use flashrec and make a backup of this one ? or do I just save the new ROM to SD and load it ?
thanks again
1. so far i know you can install a RUU update(download a rom from the htc site) and install it
2. no boot in recovery mode(shutdown your phone, press home + start your phone )
and then flash a zip file(first copy the .zip file to you sdcard root)
thanks again. i'll give that a try.
do you recommend the one by lox and behnaam, or the one from RaiderX303 ?
I was going to try Kagudroid. I've got a MoDaCo custom rom running now.....do I need to use NANDroid ?
do a nandroid be safe then sorry =)
You can also try my rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619262
funny you say that exit, its in the middle of loading right now
Exit93 rom is not bad but i still not use to it as i still prefer 1.5. wonder how when the release of official eclair...
Hi all,
Im an experienced WM developer and switching to Android as a user,
I Got I9003 and working very fine with me, my device is Arabic enabled,
I have flashed my mobile more than 10 times( using I9003JPKE1_OJPKC2_JXKA4 and Odin) because of trying to get Vanilla Unlock and the nice theme here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112991&page=8
my Questions are:
1.what is the best backup software that restore everything and settings by itself(astro Sux)
2.how to get the ClockWorkMod for my device instead of the stupid glass lock, I followed the instructions
and my device stuck on the samsung screen and keep restarting(what should I do in this case? i tried everything just flashing works and :S)
3. what to do exactly to get theme Ultimate-Bule-tripin in my version?
4. what else i should know
my device info:
2.2.1
kernel [email protected] #1
build: FROYO.JPKE1
Baseband:I9003JXKA4
thanks all in advance.
1. Titanium Backup
Others i dont know If CF-Root doesnt work, no idea (=
thanks man, will the free version do it for me or must be pro?
The Titanium free version hasn't mega-useful Batch operations. So if you have many apps to backup, it'll be incredible long story to backup them one-by-one on free version. So, get Full version, or try MyBackup Pro app, or use a nandroid backup using ClockWorkMod. Btw, CWM isn't a replacement for lockscreen, it's recovery mode mod allowing to do some useful operations (such as backup, wipe caches e.g. etc.)
Or you can use Google and get the full version, i'm not sure if i can give you any link, so i wont, but if you know how to use google you can find it without a problem
Hint: mobilism
#2 question...download ROM manager and select flash clockwork recovery, then it should give you an option to choose your device. Download CWMod for your phone. You should now have latest clockwork.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
my Questions are:
1.what is the best backup software that restore everything and settings by itself(astro Sux).
Ans: I think Titanium Backup will do the work most. Recommend that only restore APK without data as you may face force close in some apps. Beware that it does not backup APN setting. Please use APN Back&Restore in case APN is total wipe out. U can use CWM backup through recovery mode and restore. Beware sometime CWM can get corrupted and data restore will have some force close after reboot
2.how to get the ClockWorkMod for my device instead of the stupid glass lock, I followed the instructions
and my device stuck on the samsung screen and keep restarting(what should I do in this case? i tried everything just flashing works and :S)
Ans: Glass lock has nothing to do with CWM. It is the laucher bug issue. Sometime is best to install 2 or more laucher in your rom. Just flash another laucher through ODIN will work.
3. what to do exactly to get theme Ultimate-Bule-tripin in my version?
Ans: Feedback the bug you are having to the theme developer. They should know how to fix it. Is thier duty to provide solution.
4. what else i should know
Ans: You may find that not all products suite you and not all product developed is perfect. Keep flashing for the right one, learn from mistake, pick-up the error and google your problem for solution. Standby your spare phone in case your phone is totally knock down and cannot be restart.

As a very good FREE backup tool I'm using My Backup Root (from the market). You need to have your phone rooted but it works very nice.
Thanks a lot guys, you helped me well, I mentioned the CWM because to install the update.zip which requires CWM to install because of the signature, I flashed the CWM several times with different versions but same results on startup I really like the Ultimate-Bule-tripin with the vanilla lock and i'll sell the phone if i couldnt get it

I have read the thread,
1) Did you meet the requirement??
Requirements:
-XXKB3 FW
-Deodexed framework is mandatory
2) Have you try install zip from sd card with CWM recovery? CWM provide install zip from sd card, you can explore where have you save the file and execute it. You does not need to rename the file to update.zip.
the problem is i cant install the CWM to my device, every time i install it via odin the device does not start and then i have to flash it, how can i find a version compatible with my device firmware ver?
my device info are :2.2.1
kernel [email protected] #1
build: FROYO.JPKE1
Baseband:I9003JXKA4
so which FW i am????
and i cant see any KB3( btw pleaaaaase tell me which section must have this code????)
Please provide the link to flash CWM for your I9003. I need to look at it.
Update: CWM only work for I9000, there are developer trying to get CWM working on the I9003 device.
I guess whithin 2-3 week time, CWM should be available for your device.

can u please tell me which FW i have? and which section is supposed to have KB3(KBX)????
ps:my device must have Arabic lang.
You are having the latest ASIAN Froyo Firmware. Your device should be compatible.

CWM does not work for your device for now. To solve your problem, try to download Root Explorer Pro version from market (Need to buy). Then you can copy the downloaded theme file into your system.
By the way, i'm from SGS I9000 device. Not from I9003. There might be some different to replace file directory.
Good Luck.
Thank Button, please.
can u please just give me the brief steps to install the theme using the root explorer?
does it need more than rooted device or must be deodexed??
btw i always thank but now it gives me
Sorry, you are limited to five thanks per day
Thanks man, i got it done, i have deodexed my I9003 from this Thread
and then managed to copy the vanilla lock apks via ADB shell, now i can use my Android

Have you tried in recovery to complete wipe. Also your SD and then flash the .zip again?
Yes.
Is there an way to reflash the recovery without Pc ?
I only made it this way since today.

There is a way to do that directly in rom. But you cannot start one. So as far as i know, you are answer referring to your current situation is: NO!
suggest
I haven't understand what is your problem, so I reply with 2 problems and relative solutions.
1. If you want to change ROM, you have to verify the necessary hboot. Ex. For AceSmod007 you can use cm7 or stock hboot, but you must flash the right zip.
2. If you want to try flash roms with another recovery you can dowload the last 4Ext recovery (you can find it in development room): there is a version that can be flashed automatically in fastboot, just putting the zip in your SD-card's root.
Hope that I have been usefull. Someone corrects me if I was wrong.
Hey thanks for the answers.
I even turned on my phone and it works (Y)

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.
for me 3.0.0.5 was the best for desire

I've got 4.2.0.2 but I can't comment because I've not used it yet but I know I successfully partitioned my SD to ext3 using the version you mention (only because I couldn't get gparted to work).
Hi,
just got my new Tab3 7" before Weekend. Want to root it and install a custom now.
Before that i surely have to install a new recovery. So by now there are TWRP or CWM Recovery. Are there any major differences, advantages or any other important things to know about? Didnt use one of them by now on any device.
Which one should one use?
Thx in advance!

I recommend you to google " TWRP vs Clockworkmod". At least the droidiser website gave me a general idea what this is about.
I will use CWM because I already used it on my HTC evo 3D and the CWM thread in the sgt 3 community looks much more lively .
PS: seems for me that the TWRP got an easier interface

I would suggest twrp. The latest cwm for me has some issues like I after flashing I still got stock recovery and when I finally got cwm I have nabigation issues. I use twrp with nice interface and no issues as of now
Sent from my SM-T210R using xda app-developers app
Due to switching back to stock rom (for now) i tried twrp now (before i got cwm).
Have to say i will stay at twrp for now as cwm had strange display problems (text got visible/got refreshed only after swiping the display, wrong entrys got selected,...)
twrp works flawlessly and cant get a single reason y not to use it.
