which is the best custom rom 7.0.0 / 7.0.2 or 7.0.3? which is the best radio cause i understerstood that i need to flash the radio to make the gps work, please help
and a tutorial for flashing the radio?
If you are going to stick with a Stable version, go for 7.0.3. As for radio, there are 3 versions, one ending in 20.10, one ending in 19.25 and one with 15.31. It is recommended to flash the one with 19.25. It can be downloaded here:

Flashing a Radio is same as flashing a ROM Zip file. Go to Recovery > Install Zip from SDCard and choose the above Zip. However, there are a few basic differences :
- Radio's can only be flashed in Clockworkmod 2.x. If you have followed the many tutorials around, you will probably have Clockworkmod 3.x, and wont be able to flash the Radio.
- To overcome this, when you install CM, you will have an app called ROM Manager. Open it, Click Install Clockworkmod Recovery inside the app. It will install v2.5
- Once install is complete, select Reboot into Recovery from within the ROM Manager app.You will then boot into Clockworkmod 2.5 and will be able to flash radios successfully.
Pointers for flashing a radio
- Make sure you have sufficient battery charge
- Do NOT interrupt the process at all. It's sensitive

i din't find the install clockworkmod recovery option inside the app ...
l.e: did it. 10x a lot
It says up top Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
My radio ends with 20.10 and GPS works just fine. Should I still flash the recommended radio? Do you have any idea what the differences are?
No, if GPS works fine, leave it. Flashing radios should be avoided really, unless absolutely necessary.

Anyway realize that u have the latest radio and u r thinking of flashing a previous radio.
Flashing radio is not recommended unless u have issues with it. It has the potential of bricking the phone when interrupted. Radio has the secure flag.
The wildfires which has been rooted after alpharevX must be having radio ending with 20.10 because they are made s-off from stock froyo AFAIK. In such case when no issues, donot reflash the radio.

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
Hi, I am currently on Cm10 rom and I want to update to cm10.1. I have Clockwork installed and Goo Manager. I am trying to update my rom through Goo Manager but it keeps bringing me the to Clockwork boot screen, what do I do next? 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

Hi
I have been trying to upgrade from CM 10.1 (build 03212013 ) to Paranoid Android 4.4, since I see the new version has BLN support (I'd stuck with the old CM for so long due to this).
Anyways upon trying this I discovered I had to (always ran clear cache, and ran the T989 script super -wipe)
- update my modem to the latest t-mobile - upgraded to the latest which is needed - UVMC6
- was trying to install with CWM 5.8.x - but it would just 'hang' at "installing ZIP" further research indicates I need to upgrade CWM
- Upgraded to CWM 6.0.4.3 per more searching, tried erase flash, just hangs - further research indicates this CWM has a known issue
- used ODIN to goto TWRP 2.7 - flashed, and booted, tried numerous times hangs at "teamwin' screen when trying to boot into recovery
Ended up giving up and Odin flashing back CWM 5.8.1.3 and loading my old CM 10.1 build again
Anyone have any hints why this is so difficult for me?
Need some help if possible please!
thanks
Jonathan
Found work around
Just want to update
I managed to find a work around of sorts. I needed to restore my phone back to CWM 5, and to do that I needed to use ODIN to flash it.
After flashing CWM5 back to the phone, I was able to restore previous ROM (CM mod 10.x), and boot up. After that I used the rommanager to re-install CWM 6.0.4.3, and reboot the phone into recovery.
When in recovery I went to mountand storage, and formatted , /cache, /system and /data. After doing that I choose to install ZIP from SDcard, and selected the Parandoid Android 4.4.x I was trying before. This completed, and installed without any error messages.
Hopefully this helps someone else out.
Thanks,
Jonathan
So my E980 will not turn wifi on with a custom ROM. I have tried probably 10 different roms and many different android version numbers with no change. The switch is greyed out and will not turn on at all. I have the following installed:
CM12-20150625-Snapshot-YNG4NAO09M
WildKernel
I believe Mack's modem
Gapps
Nothing will fix this. I have read where other people have installed stock Kernels to fix their issues but will doing that cause a problem because I am on android version 5.x+? Everything seems to work ok on the phone other than wifi and I really need that.
Have you tried to flash CM over full stock 4.1 without custom modem? All CM based roms recommended install is: flash stock 4.1 kdz through Lg Flash Tool 2014 cse flash, then root, then freegee + cwm, then CM. And only if something is wrong then patches.
Yeah that's how I have been doing it actually. I only started doing there kernels and stuff yesterday morning. I did find that blisspop v3.6 actually had working WiFi on my phone but it had other weird issues. It would randomly reboot and then go into reinstalling the ROM and it would also randomly shut my cellular data connection off by itself. Like I could watch it turn the switch off and on ine settings app. Those coupled with really bad battery life made me flash back to stock 4.1.2.
Then after flashing back to stock I went on and did the ota update to 4.4.2 but that caused issues with the screen not coming back on after making a phone call without doing a power cycle. I would love to run a custom ROM but none I have found are stable and only one has most all the stock features working in it.
Did you use recommended recovery version? Try upgrading from stock 4.1 directly to BlissPop using latest Philz Touch or TWRP 2.8.6.0 modified? Personally i prefer this recovery: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554356 for my E988. It can flash and backup modem and EFS.

The recovery part has always confused me. Thus far I have been downloading FreeGee Free off the playstore and using it to install CWM. I tried TWRP once but the interface wouldn't work right on my device. Some of the onscreen buttons would do different things than their label said (like Reboot would take me to a different screen, not Reboot) and the slider bar at the bottom wouldn't work.
How do you install the recovery using that Zip file? And could that be causing me problems?

I'm installing it from recovery just like another zips (ROMs etc)
Problems? Theoretically, yes, if you flash recovery that isn't compatible with your device
