No roms for our phone in rom manager

Does anyone know why rom manager doesn't list any roms for our phone?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Cause Rom Manager doesn't support our phone?

So it's never going to support our phone?

rom manager usually only has cyanogenmod anyways. besides you wouldn't even be able to flash it through rom manager anyways.

Correct, Rom Manager has never supported ROM Flashing for the E4GT

I flash through ROM manager all the time.
It doesn't list roms for the reason the previous person stated. Basically, it only supports cyanogen for that feature. So, even though I use it to flash roms, it is basically useless. The only reason I ever use it is because I am lazy and hate holding 2 buttons down in the far chance that it will boot in recovery and I dont have to reboot and start over. But, with custom shutdown menus being more popular

LOL aha that is what I thought he meant, threw me off there for a second though.

Don't the devs have to submit the links to their roms to rom manager? Has anyone done this? Many times the roms on rm aren't the most recent if development is pretty active.

even if rom manager had the roms. currently they can't be flashed through the program. rom manager just hangs. even when trying to simply backup.

Sorry, you know what I meant. I tend to confuse sometimes.

ROM Manager

I've had Rom Manager Pro for along time now since my first Android and I was wanting to know if our phone uses it at all?
I don't see our model on the list but on one of my other phones we kinda shared one with another phone do we do that if we don't have a main one?
And what's that recovery touch? Has anyone every used that? Sounds pretty cool lolz

Yes it does. I use it all the time. Do NOT use any form of touch recovery. There is one out there that is safe but right now do NOT use touch recovery.
Touch recovery has been blamed for bricking phones best to steer clear of it altogether.
There are some issues with Rom Manager, I'm sure someone will let you know. FYI, Rom manager uses a v5.0.2.7 CWM based recovery for our phone. Do not use it with any of the ICS based roms, cwm is not compatible with them currently.

Witch ones are safe to use ?

The gingerbread based ROMs usually come with a kernel that has recovery built-in so those are safe to use the way they are.
Can't emphasize enough though not to use recovery in ICS though.

Thanks,
but I was more asking is there a sections for our phone in the list in Rom Manager .
Also can I just click the flash recovery at the top of the App and is our phone in the list where you click download roms and it has a list of Rom updates and stuff like that?

Ah gotcha. First of all, I wouldn't recommend using rom manager to do anything but backups and restores. Yes, you can click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, make sure you select the 'Samsung Epic 4G Touch'.
Lastly, I have no friggin clue what those roms/rom updates are listed there and how they get flashed or what would happen if something goes sideways so I stick with the XDA known and tried roms that you can get support for.
You cannot use Rom Manager because these need to be flashed according to the instructions posted with each rom. They are almost identical and its very easy to do.
Short version is, I recommend Rom Manager as an easy way to backup and restore your android OS from an interface. Beyond that, I think you're taking unecessary risks. There's a thread around here somewhere about how Rom Manger is very very bad.

I would recommend you read the instructions for any thread you are planning on utilizing closely and follow the directions listed in those threads. Don't assume past Android experience gives a license to skim the reading. Every phone is slightly different and has nuances that can become issues of glossed over. There are often reasons why the instructions are written the way they are.

I've had this phone for a while now, I was just re installing some apps and seen it and just wanted to know if it had a section for our phone that's its

You should not use rom manager, especially if you are on an ICS rom. It needs to install its own version of cwm and could royally mess up the phone.

Thank you.....is there a way to get its own version of CWM?
Is there a utility that we can use instead or just better to turn of phone and volume up

Best bet is what you said - Power Off, then power+volume up to get into a recovery. As for recovery Agat's has been great! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721065 and there are some specifically for CM9 and AOKP so if you plan on flashing any of those check those threads.

Soft bricked while flashing MIUI

So I flashed miui & flashed Chris41g's CWM6 RC13 kernel, both through EL26 CWM. when it booted I kept getting force closes. It kept saying "android.com.process failed" or something like that. Booted back into cwm n reflashed. Same thing happened. So I tried to get back to recovery & it got stuck at the Galaxy S II screen. It still boots to download mode though. Is Odin my only way out of this? Will it even work?

Honestly if it was me I'd just take a L and one click back to start fresh if that happened

Which version of MIUI? If you're flashing Captain Morgans latest build, I believe you have to flash to the build before, mobile Odin/Odin to el26, and then flash the newest build + Chris's Kernel without any wiping. Info is in the OP.

I can confirm this too... Also If anyone is looking to flash this rom please follow these steps. I have repeated the process at least 10 times:
1. Odin EL26 repacked CWM 5
2. Wipe using Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL.
3. Flash MIUI 2.6.15
4. After flashing let it reboot into MIUI 2.6.15 ** THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT**
5. Then Odin Chris41G AOSP CWM5 or EL26
6. And Finally flash MIUI 2.7.20 v4

Yeah I had to do the same thing. So @ChewDZ, basically you are going to have to flash that old one first, and then the new one on top of it as if you were upgrading, otherwise everyone gets that error. And make sure to use the right kernels mentioned above! (Also, I was tempted to just flash the old one and not upgrade, but trust me, the upgraded one has much better stability and battery life.) I have been running it since it was out with almost no issues.

Wow. I saw that no where in the op. Now I'm stuck using my DX until I reach a computer

Ahh my bad. I will admit I havn't checked since I flashed it. Been maybe 3 weeks now. Although, instead of saying if you are having issues to check the post, I do think it should just include it in the instructions.

What Nitro posted is what isn't in the OP. Why would I immediately go for an alternative installation? My "difficulty installing" soft bricked me. I followed the instructions for flashing & bricked. There's nothing that could've prevented that.

I completely agree. It should just be the standard installation instructions, as no one has been successful without doing it this way. It shouldn't be "So now that you tried normally and it screwed up your phone, try it this way." XD They should just tell us to do it that way from the start.
Anyway, have you gotten it working yet?

Thank you, exactly. And yes I just had go Odin back to GB. Now all is well

Now every time i try using a rooted access app. Dosnt let me at all not super user, barnacle, mobil odin, Titanium back up.
I tried flashing roms, saids installation aborted.
Can anyone tell me if im actually rooted or not?
And if so how can I get root permission so i can get these apps going, and I can flash my ass away.

You are not rooted if apps won't pull it. You don't need root to theme. There are plenty of launchers. Since you seem to have a CWM, you can flash a rooted ROM.

Google edition rom on t mobile s4 question

I seen a post where the 4.2.2 Google edition rom was available to flash onto my tmobile S4, I was wondering if I can just flash it after wiping, or if I need the ktoonz kernel? I'm not even sure what the ktoonz kernel is, I've flashed ROMS before, just not on my s4. I'm rooted with twrp. And my build is the UVUAMDL one where I needed to get past boot loader lock thing. Sorry, I'm using my phone and I don't have the right links with me. Any help would be nice
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

I Highly suggest you don't flash anything until you read up on the forums and figure everything out. Read up on kernels, roms, gapps, bootloader, recovery etc. Then when you get that stuff down read about the roms you want to flash. If you flash am incorrect file you can hard brick your phone.

I'm fairly familiar with flashing. I know my way around twrp and cwm. I just never knew what a kernel was.. Never needed to use one on my vibrant... So I know how to flash, that's not my question... I want to know if, with a stock rooted tmobile galaxy s4 (UVUAMDL), can I just flash the Google edition rom from twrp, then I'm good to go? And will I lose my root? It looks pretty straight forward, I just want to make sure my phone is Ok for the rom, and if I need the ktoonz file, cuz some people were mentioning it...

I already posted the link.

I was looking at that, so I wipe everything in twrp, and flash it like normal, but I'll lose root? Download the chainfire zip and install it in twrp as well to get root again?
Quick question, if I ever wanted to send my phone into get serviced, I can completely wipe my phone back to stock by flashing that back on the phone using Odin, correct? That would do the root as well, so when I sent it in, they would be none the wiser?

Will there be completely stable versions of the Google edition s4 released sometime in the future? I'm just seeing way to many different versions of the same thing where some things aren't working properly, and it doesn't seem to be as simple as just flashing the rom. All sorts of other stuff needs to be done like changing build.prop and whatnot. I just want to be able to flash the rom and be done with it... Is that possible right now? Or no. I guess I'm not as familiar with all the terminology as I thought. I still don't know what a kernel really is, I flashed one once and it just made my cwm recovery menu different... And I know I needed a specific kernel to flash specific ROMS.. Is that the case here with these Google edition roms?
