[Q] Rom Manager

ok so i just rooted my et4g and i installed rom manager, im trying to flash the recovery and it has four options to flash.
none in which say et4g
only
samsung at&t GalaxyS2
samsung GalaxyS i9000
samsung GalaxyS i9000 (MTD)
samsung GalaxyS2
which one is my best bet?
if any of them i think the bottom one is but i was worried that one is for the euro s2?
any help would be greatly appreciated

None of the above.

so what do i do??
i want to flash a rom already! haah

Odin a rooted kernel with clockwork mod (chris41g's lost kernel is what I used), and follow the ROM install instructions from the development section.

and lets just say if i used this vs using that method lol

damn so i just have to chill then? no other way of flashing recovery?

If you are worried about customization issues or just want to remain stock, I would flash this. It is completely stock with cwm. You can than flash a prerooted rom or su.zip and you are rooted and ready to go.

Do not flash unstable roms. I usually wait for official stable roms and making a nand backup before doing anything.

Thank you all guys. My phone successfully turned on...Thanks again

If you want to use the skyrocket port use DARKSIDE SUPER WIPE! I was having the same problem then i started from scratch, did the super wipe, installed the skyrocket rom and it runs perfect for me.

Good to hear man, glad you got it working again. it would be way too expensive of a paperweight if you were unable to flash it back.

Yeah I was worried I would have to just buy a new one. But thanks to you guys I got it working

Note for future: use the backup feature in recover before flashing things you aren't sure of.
The backup in recovery is referred to as a nandroid if you didn't know already, it will always bring you back to exactly how your phone previously was. This way you won't have to ever ODIN to stock.

[Q] Need Help! Flashing S3 back to stock rom!

Ok everyone, I am new to all of this..so i hope I dont sound stupid.
I have a Sprint Galaxy s3, and the person I got it from has rooted it and installed a custom rom, etc. I would like to go back to what it was when it was first out of the box, or the stock rom. I am afraid of bricking the phone, as I have never done this before. I am assuming there is a forum post on here with exact instructions on how to do this. Can anyone point me there, or help me out? Thanks in advance!

Yes I would probably do this.

Watching the video now, and following the instructions to click on the links he says to..but when i click on them..it says page not found, on everyone of them.

I agree with Giantjay, it's always a good idea to get as much info as possible before doing anything. Read, read, watch the video, read more, ask questions.

So i found the Odin download, now my question is..where do i download the right TAR file.

If you're not worried about data loss but don't want root, I'd download the Odin flashable 100% stock MDL tar from this thread.... and obviously flash via Odin. That would leave you at 100% stock state with the latest T-Mobile MDL firmware.
If you plan on rooting and flashing custom stuff anyway, just follow this guide. After that, you'll have root and a custom recovery from which you could flash any of the modified/stock TouchWiz ROMs or CyanogenMod or whatever other ROMs you wish.

The Odin flashable MDL should work just fine. If not, come on back, someone will be able to get you up and running.

It would have to be an Odin flashable file as no custom recovery for att, and the locked bootloader would reject the tar file.
