Rom manager with cm10?

Ok so rom manager came pre installed on cm10. I never used it on my old phone because of bricking stories. Question is, is it being used for ota updates for cm10? And is it safe for me to install cwm touch from it?

Rom Manager and this phone are not a conversation that is even taking place. But as far as the question CM is going back to their own "ota" system and while I am sure CM9 will get it as well CM10 will definitly have ut.
As far as this phone since we are not official yet I wouldn't worry about either at this time. Your updates are here.

Do not install CWM Touch recovery!!! That's asking for a brick. We have TWRP if you want a touch recovery. Aroma packages also give you a customizable touch interface for installing .

Thanks.. that's the answer I was looking for. Is there a flashable zip for the twrp. Recovery? And has it been used with cm10 before?

Look in the original development section.

This phone has the recovery packed in the kernel, so you will be looking for a kernel+twrp or kernel+cwm. The recovery will change everytime you flash a different rom or kernel that has a different recovery packed with it. Some people, like me, use el26+cwm for recovery related things, such as wiping, flashing and backing up/restoring. However if you go this route you will need to locate an ics or jb kernel to flash to boot to your rom, if you aren't flashing a rom. You will need to flash a compatible kernel either before making a backup or after restoring a backup to make it bootable. I typically flash the kernel then do the backup so I don't forget to flash it after a restore.

Pgm for complete backup of new system

I am wondering what is the best program to use to do a complete backup of a new Note II before I root it. That way I can return it to stock if I need to.

Download TWRP or CWM (these are custom recoveries) and do a nandroid backup. You need to be rooted first.

Freegee or flash recovery myself?

What's the difference between these two methods? Is there any difference at all? Or is it just preference?

Simple question can't get a simple answer? Alright guess I'll just dive into whichever at random

The benefit to using the FreeGee installed recovery is that it is definitely a Loki-agnostic recovery. This means that you can flash any ROM built for our phone without having to confirm that it has been patched with Loki. Shellnut's recovery included with FreeGee automatically detects the presence of a Loki patch. If it's already been applied to a ROM it will not run Loki, but if it has not been applied it will patch it as part of the flashing process.
With that said, I'm not sure if any of the other Recoveries floating around have the auto-Loki feature baked in. For me, it was a matter of safety to go with the FreeGee recovery.
Had I seen this earlier I would have responded.

Thank you sir!! Much appreciated

[Q] Going from 4.3 rom to 4.4

I'm running slimbean 4.3 and cwm for recovery.. Can I just perform the normal steps when flashing a new rom and flash beanstalk 4.4? I've been told cwm won't flash modems on the e980 so will I run into any problems with that? if I want to go back to 4.3 rom I will be able to restore a backup, correct? any other info is appreciated. thanks

I have been able to flash back and forth and restore backups using CWM that I got from FreeGee. I haven't flashed any modems though. As always, YMMV
Edit: I think I've only restored one backup. I have flashed a lot this week...apologize

Confirmed: I just restored a 4.3.1 backup from a 4.4 ROM using CWM 6.0.3.7 from Freegee

i have been able to restore a stock backup made using freegee provided recovery after have issues with cm11 no problems, but one which is that when i try to unroot using lgmlauncher.exe it says update halted due to low battery, even though the battery is full

[Q] Bootloader and AOSP Roms

I've been reading that the leaked kitkat touch wiz Roms have a new bootloader and you cannot flash back. My question is, do kitkat AOSP Roms have this new bootloader as well? I want to flash an AOSP Rom but don't want to get stuck.

Unsure what they mean by stuck... Flashed latest cm and decided I didn't like it and just restored my latest cwm backup which was to jedi and I have had no issues. Would love an explanation too.

Thanks for the reply, what I mean is I've read flashing a tw kitkat Rom with the new bootloader prevents you from flashing back to a 4.3 Rom (what I meant by stuck). I was wondering if the same would happen if I flashed a kitkat AOSP rom. Seeing as you were able to flash back I guess my question is answered.
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium HD app

Custom ROMs like CM don't flash bootloader changes, so you can go back if you want.
Official TW ROMs flashed via Odin or OTA update typically contain bootloaders.
These are the ones that you want to avoid.
