Pull Rom Manager support from Market?

If anyone has ties to Koush it might be a good idea to let him know about all the hard bricks that Rom Manager/CWM touch is causing from the ICS leaks on our device. He should consider dropping support for us to avoid further bricks by people that dont know better. I just sent him a DM on twitter.

i and many others have used rom manager to flash SH's FB* rogue kernels after flashing the FB* roms....how exactly are people bricking?? user error should not be a reason to pull support.

considering steady bricked his .....many devs are saying not to flash anything with a ice cwm kernel until they find out what is happening

yea good luck with that, on the prevail/admire/replenish/precedent people were getting bricks left and right because of rom manager. in fact the only safe option for them was "reboot to recovery". we have numerous threads about how not to use it all over android forums. myself and a few others came up with a way to fix cwm (because they are all arm6 devices and koush's rfs modules are arm7 and higher only...) and make it official.. he told us no he didnt like it and to come up with a new way to do it. instead now we have to try and figure out a new way of doing it all while more people get bricks.
so, for you to request he pull support on a product that makes him money and sometimes causes bricks, is a VERY unlikely event.

LOLOLOLOLOL you must be a former evo owner?
on the OG Epic rjmjr69 (ACS team leader) sent him an epic for recovery purposes, 4 months later he still had yet to make it or reply about sending it back. he finally got it back after a few more months and we got a 2.5 version "fake flash" which im sure many of you are familiar with (its how he does all of his samsung recoveries) when version 3.x was made by dameon and we broughtin ext4 support again took forever and then we had just ext4 cwm.. from there drockstar spent MONTHS learning cwm and getting dual fs cwm made. in teh 4.x series drockstar was teh champion of cwm whipping out all sorts of versions and improving on many things. after almost a year he finally got cwm official status again to go from 2.5 to 3.0.0.1 now to 5.0.2.0
my point is all the work was always done all he had to do was sync up their repos, from my experience if you want a cwm that works and is updated, do it yourself... dont rely on him. the atrix has been supported since months after it came out, photon just got support 2 months ago despite it being the SAME phone...

Captivate. But I guess the story is different here. He worked with designgears and had a recovery within days. Same story with SGSII.

lucky you guys

Factory restore was the culprit for me. use the format all zip and that seems to be much safer.

I just bricked my Epic Touch on Saturday. I used Rom Manager to back up the phone. The phone now is in the dumpster. I've used Rom Manager on my EVO 4G, and my EVO 3D for a long time and found the app very useful. I've heard others bad mouth ROM Manager, but I never experienced any problems until now. Any how, I strongly suggest everyone STAY AWAY from Rom Manager if they have an Epic Touch.

I have been using Rom Manager on every ICS leak..I am also very safe in that I don't backup anything as well as flashing back to GB before going onto any other ICS build..User error is the issue, not Rom Manager.

when you guys are talking about Rom Manager, you mean the app, right? I've never had any problems rebooting manually to recovery and flashing roms. I guess that's still usually a version of CWM recovery, right?
2 different animals, correct? I never use the app. I think I did once on my Evo, but I felt like too much stuff was out of my control and didn't like it. never went back.

This. I used ROM manager on every ICS leak and alpha 4/AOKP just to get a temp recovery. From ROM manager I flash cm7 then flash whatever I want from there. No Odin needed.

Exactly it was made to be a noob crutch and they never learned how to do it the right way....on evo it works but this is not a HTC and things are different....but most noobs coming from evo are still using it and you see what is becoming of it .... On top of it there is stupid cwm touch in it too ....double the trouble

I mean I am no pro, but I am sure those devs use every method thinkable when flashing to make sure all methods are compatible. It is inevetible that they will have some bricks. Rom Manager has worked over and over and over for me is all I am saying.
I am not using the touch recovery btw. I flash CWM with Rom Manager and then reboot into recovery with it.
It should also be noted that when I flash CWM using Rom Manager, I do not choose epic 4g touch when it asks what phone I have. I select the bottom option, which I believe is just Galaxy SII

[Q] New around here looking for Roms

As title says I'm new to this site I have only got Calkulin's E4GT 2 ICS Rom. Looking into getting a blend, I have a White E4GT back on GB EL29. Already rooted obviously. All Roms will be looked at, I'm looking for something like ICS but battery saving and themes and such are applicable.

also
What is the difference in these kernels/modems? Like mine is EL29, and there is EL26 and stuff, when flashing a new rom will it change by itself or do I need to self flash a new kernel, and I had the issue with Calkulins ICS where the yellow triangle appeared, so I followed qbking77's guide on how to fix that, if I were to flash say, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538848 this rom, or so other that needs a new kernel, how would I (if possible) keep my kernel to make sure that yellow triangle stays away?

I'm not sure how to keep the triangle away with ICS but, with gb I've flashed almost every rom, and el29 is the most latest release for the epic touch.
Assuming you know what modems are, each and every modem reacts differently on every phone(I'm pretty sure no one knows why).. So you'll just have to play around with modems to find your best combination,
as far as the kernels go, some roms come with a certain kernel others use the one previously on your phone(I beleive), just read the rom info an it should tell you if it includes a certain rom
Edit: ah sorry.. a modem is the radio in your phone, it's what communicates between the tower and phone for service, wifi and what not
=D Double edit: this might help out to..

Ah, this is helpful for the second post, thank you. I'm still wondering as to what Roms I should try next, I liked Calkulin's but I'm one for trying everything till I find the one for me. Any suggestions will be nice.

Everybody has different likes and needs when it comes to roms. I just flashed the fd24 leak earlier today and so far its very nice. My main need is stability and the official leaks are the most stable in my opinion. Read a lot and ddcide for yourself. Ths nocturnal venum rom has also caught my eye once they get the rest of the bugs out.

If you are using a GB rom you can restore a GB rom, but if you are on ICS you cannot restore back to any roms. You need to go back to Gb then installing the rom. In order for you to go back to GB you can follow QBking77 video (youtube) on how to root your samsung epic 4g touch. (by re-rooting it brings you back to a fresh GB rom, with no worries of bricking your phone).

I suggest reading here How Not to Brick your E4GT

You can nandroid from an ICS rom back to a GB rom, I did when I was on Calk's ICS rom to get a gps fix.. Although, there is a risk in bricking it, its up to you. Personally I'm on Venom's ICS rom and it is by far the most stable ICS leak I've used, and has great battery life as well.

Just flash the rom after format? Or Flash a new kernel? Cause my current kernel is stock but last time I flashed an ICS rom it gave me the annoy I1900 triangle boot up thing, is that going to be an issue?

Wipe cache,dalvik then format system and then wipe data. If going to ics rom make sure you are on a gb rom with CWM. Or I believe you can flash through odin, but definitely do some research.

Last question on your pic of your about phone, your baseband is FD19, would I need to flash to that before trying that rom? or could I just wipe like you said and flash from EL29?

Read this threads first 4 posts first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24733831
This ROM is AOKP 32 based and needs EL26 with CWM(found in first post on above thread). As for baseband, that is just the modem and any doesn't need to be flashed unless you want to try a different modem. To do so just Mobile Odin el26 with cwm wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache/dalvick, flash modem of your choice, rewipe cache/dalvick, flash rom, flash gapps and reboot to AOKP Goodness

Nand backup is the backup utility you use in CWR. And Non-Touch is just that; it's the standard non-touch version of CWR (ClockWorkRecovery). You can find both versions here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
You're going to want to read, read and then read some more and get comfortable with these tools before you start using them to flash. There are a lot of great threads here that explain everything in great detail, and most of them are pinned at the beginning of each thread.

Clockwork recovery. There are 2 types. 1 utilizes the touch screen the other uses the volume, power buttons for operation. Recovery is used to make a backup of data and system on the phone so you can go back to it later.....if needed. Recovery is also used to flash new roms and other fixes.

Short for ClockWorkRecovery. It replaces the stock recovery our phone ships with. It allows us to root our phones, flash new ROM's and of course...do nand backups. Your going to need CWR on your device before you root or flash any custom ROMS.
Like I said....please read. I read on these forums for many many hours before I flashed my first ROM. In the end, it really pays off.

Let's put this in a way you'll understand:
Nand backup = What you do when you "always back up all my **** before i install any rom just in case i dont like it."
Non touch recovery = ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7, the recovery utility that darkside recommends you use on all his ROMs you've been flashing.

Need some help with CWM

Alright, here's my issue..
I'm really wanting to go to either Blu Kuban or Phantom's Blazer rom. Both of them look really amazing and they seem like they'd fit my style.
Now before anyone says, "Go read this, and that". I have read this and that over and over again.
I know the eMMC bug is out there and I don't want to end up with a bricked device from a stupid error. I know that I have to start by getting CWM installed; which is where I'm stuck. The rest sounds almost as easy as booting into recovery and flashing through CWM. But getting to CWM; that's the confusing part.
First, I want to rid myself of the chance of an eMMC brick as I've read there are patched kernels out there with CWM that nip that bug in the bud. But here's my issue. I've read so many posts and watched so many video's and still haven't came up with a positively right answer here.
I'm running sfhub's Odin oneclick for FF18 and it's rooted as of now. Other than that, it's stock basically.
Do I need to odin oneclick back to el29 to get to the blu kuban ff18 build? And if so, how do I go about installing CWM so I can? I've read GB kernels won't boot ICS and vice versa. So if I went to EL29, I'd have to flash to a ICS kernel with CWM? Haven't found out much about that honestly as every post that I've found via that pretty little search box is just ridden with warnings about the eMMC bug.
This is the closest thing I've came to find about installing CWM on FF18, but the thread (near the end pages) are ridden with people having issues getting that to run properly?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
I'm not a novice when it comes to electronics and hardware; just extra precaution is my goal. No brick = good LOL
So what's the best way for a Rooted FF18 install to go to CWM and be able to flash the ICS version of Blu Kuban or Blazer?
Thanks ahead of time as it's annoyed me for over a week now trying to find the right solution.

Just odin or if you have mobile Odin the touch wiz version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28474639 and you should be good to go.

From ff18 you can just flash agat recovery and flash from that recovery. Recoveries that have been deemed safe won't brick your device. Or you can Odin the el26 kernel with cwm and boot into that recovery and flash from there. The last one was the standard method for flashing when safe recoveries weren't around. You can do this if you want to be extra careful. I got into the habit of flashing the el26 kernel before flashing any ICS ROM because I did it so much that it became "muscle memory".
Edit: in order to minimize the chance for error keep in mind flashing an el26 kernel from an ICS ROM will not allow your phone to boot. However you can still boot in cwm so after Odin finishes flashing the kernel be ready to hold the power button and the volume up key. If you miss your chance, no biggy just battery pull and try again. Try searching for a direct boot cwm kernel v3 I think. It does what the name implies.

Alright, I used the autoroot package from sfhub here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
and chose option D for the ICS kernels and then chose the next option E which installed agat-cwm-src (the one which I've seen is "safe") lol Currently watching my phone do a nandroid backup!
Just to make sure though, it shows AGAT_Recovery tREC_v0.2.1 Does that sound right?

Or you can Odin the el26 kernel with cwm and boot into that recovery and flash from there. The last one was the standard method for flashing when safe recoveries weren't around. You can do this if you want to be extra careful. I got into the habit of flashing the el26 kernel before flashing any ICS ROM because I did it so much that it became "muscle memory".
Edit: in order to minimize the chance for error keep in mind flashing an el26 kernel from an ICS ROM will not allow your phone to boot. However you can still boot in cwm so after Odin finishes flashing the kernel be ready to hold the power button and the volume up key. If you miss your chance, no biggy just battery pull and try again. Try searching for a direct boot cwm kernel v3 I think. It does what the name implies.

Yes you will be able to safely flash blazer rom with that kernel/recovery. Also when you flash that rom. Flash the kernel right after. To keep the safe recovery.

On a side note, don't use any super wipe zips such as caulkulins format all from an ICS recovery it ignores any safeties that a recovery might have and you might brick. Just use the wipe options from the recovery.

Ok i'm officially on blu kuban and i'm enjoying it fully. Love the dark theme and all the nooks and crannies. Question though.. Since I flashed using agats, do I need to rehash a safe kernel?
And on a side note, if I want to go back to stock I can just use an Odin one click correct?

If you are on the blu kuban you can grab any kernel you want I'd recommend the kuban kernel in the rom updater.. But agats safe kernel is in the rom updater as well... And if you grab the kuban kernel in the rom updater it is safe as well since it is based off agats kernel just with more tweaks and what not

Which one has the agats safe, and can I install it with the ROM updater?

The ones shown in the screen shot are all safe(which you can install from the rom updater )

So if I flashed blu kuban, am I still on the kernel I started with or am I now on the blu kuban version since I flashed from agats recovery?

Doesn't matter what you started or flashed from.. When you flash the blu kuban, the kernel is installed by default "out the box".. Which is the first one shown in the screen shot

Ash, so it overwrites the one I installed through the auto root and installed the blu kuban kernel and recovery? That's nice to know!

I didnt mine blu kuban ...but couldn't find settings to display any battery indicator on status bar... or the Clock time for that matter ..anyone know if that is a option on blu kuban
Also when I went to Rom updater after flashing ... I t did nothing but screen stayed blank and went to 1x
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

I've found all of that in the ROM updater. I suggest reading into the ROM updater problem on the blu kuban post. I've not had any of those problems myself so i'm not sure. I love this ROM so far, and don't plan to change any time soon!

Could Not Flash To Page Plus Because Of Custom Rom?

I went to a local page plus dealer and after several tries trying to flash i was told i could flash my phone because of my memory was read only or something like that? Is this something dealing with the kernel? I'm on Aokp and i see the yellow triangle every time i boot up..

Your rom should only make it easier imo.. Id suggest flashing a stock rom for dial codes such as the mms fix and 4g mac address alterations, if you even need it!
Flash it back to stock using odin, go get it flashed, then root and rom.
Another suggestion is to learn the "flashing" process. Youd be surprised at what youll learn and it comes in handy!
As always read, read again, and re read everything you just read!

Thanks for the quick reply!!
Long story short, i just bought this phone 2 days ago and i'm trying to grasp everything.
I came from a droid x and it was much different. To go back to factory, all we had to do was SBF.
Are you familiar with what files i need to go back to stock?
Oh yeah, im currently on a nandroid backup that i made when i first rooted my phone. But i see that i'm on Agat's dirty kernel. Which kernel do i need to be back stock? EL26? FH13? etc

Maybe this would help as well:

Take a glance in the dev section it has everything youll need there. I suggest EL26 odin package. NO BRICK! id also read up on the post in this section describing "for the most part" the flashing process for boost. That will kinda give you a general overview of what your in for if you decide you wanna do it yourself. Btw odin isnt hard to figure out at all at all but like i said read the directions in the op carefully TWICE, THEN AGAIN AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE AND READ IT AS YOUR DOING THE FLASH PROCESS.

Yeah i learned to flash between boost and verizon/sprint and some tricks a few months ago but im no pro.. It honestly doesnt matter what your on or what your using.. Odin is pretty simple and you can use it on whatever rom. at least i have. But you take your own risks lol if you screw it up its not on me.

Btw there are some assholes here and usually i would have told you to browse the threads and use the search feature but i find its alot easier when your new to have someone kinda spoon feed this stuff to you. However, if you ask me something thats in the op/tutorial, that tells me you didnt do the one thing i asked.. READ! LOL

Ahhh...I think i'm learning..So with my droid x, i used to use Rslite(Not sure if you're familiar with it) to go back to my stock ota rom.
I'm assuming Odin would be the same thing. It lets me go back to Ota updates whenever? Am i on the right track?

Yeap! I had an atrix but i prefer samsung. And your definately on the right track. Odin can be used to flash custom roms as well if there made for it.

Ok I would flash it myself but where can I find the ROM? I don't have the ROM.

There is no ROM. I use the same roms as anyone would use on sprint. You flash stuff to your nvram
