First, what recovery you have? I have a youtube video for how to flash a rom/ kernel but idk if I could post that here.

Hello, Today I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Gio. Then I installed Rom Manager. But when I tried to Flash ClockWork Mod Recovey my device is not being displayed in the list that appears. So I am stuck. Please let me know how to proceed. My Android version is 2.3.3 Early help will be really appreciated. I want to install Cyanogen Mod 9.1. Hope to hear soon.
Thanks
It's better to flash CWM via Recovery. Look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32202039&postcount=4
Does it start at all? Cause i think you hardbricked your phone. Check my stickied thread for more details about rom manager.

umm he actually means tht he couldnt install CWM via ROM manager because his gio wasnt listed
And why using ROM Manager to install CWM? I think it's easier to install it via Recovery.

It isnt really easier, but safer it is.
Flashing fecovery with ROM manager will result in a hard brick

Thanks for the replies. Really appreciate the prompt replies. I have not bricked my phone as I was not able to Flash Clock Work Mod recovery. I have uninstalled the ROM Manager. Could you please ellaborate as to how to flash CMW via Recovery? My phone' android version is 2.3.3 This is the first time I am rooting my phone so I dont have that much of knowledge.
Thanks
Search xda for 'superoneclick' for root
Than use home+power buttons to enter recovery mode and install cwm-v2.zip or something.
But you should have root acces already otherwise theres no sense you installed rom manager

Guys I was goint through a post which tells as to how to install ClockWork Mod in Samsung Galaxy Gio. In the post it is written that the phone should have Android version above 2.3.3 Now please tell me that will I not be able to download it as my phone is on Gingerbread 2.3.3? Will this work on my phone if I install? Here is the link of the post -:

Yep. That means your phone is rooted. I rooted, installed CWM and then Cyanogenmod 9 (ICS) just yesterday.. Let me tell you, the ROM looks and works great
I'm looking for a clockworkmod version that works on T989D (Hercules)

I was on CWM before but devs lately are recommending TWRP
go to android development thread at top of page read the sticky notes for directions
all versions of CWM work with our t989d
easiest way to install CWM is Rom Manager from the app store
but you must root your phone first
just in case you did not know hope this helped m8

If you are flashing first time
you want the *.tar file
so you can use Odin to flash the recovery

I think there no is another method.
Maybe flash KDZ back, root, unlock bootloader, install CWM and restore backup.
ok. thank u.... but when im connected in recovery mode(twrp) my device is shown as nexus4, so will i be able to flash kdz still???

Yes. Is just that for KK we need the lastets TWRP, which is not for Optimus G and we use the Nexus 4 TWRP. Or at least i think so. You can flash kdz.

Just one quick question: I have my old freegee backup untouched in my internal memory. Now, to install the cwm recovery, do I have to use the old version of freegee apk again or just flashing the cwm zip through twrp will work??? Please advice and thanks a lot once again...

The freegee backup is not nessesary for anything. If your phone is running stock firmware, i recommend root it using framaroot, and unlock bootloader with freegee. This will install a recovery.
If you already have TWRP, delete script lines of CWM recovery and install it. If you dont know how to do it tell me.

Freegee backup is your efs and boot files for later use if required. Save them in dropbox or something they are very handy in bad times.
If you are already unlocked with freegee than you have a custom recovery just boot into recovery and update the recovery using zip. Like the cwm one I have posted.
Yes if you are not unlocked, use the old freegee.apk

I'm stuck. I'm trying to root and install twrp recovery thru Odin. I have everything downloaded except twrp.. When I download twrp my computer asks if I want to open with winzip. I click yes then winzip has a message saying it is an unsupported archive. I'm downloading twrp 2.8.7 4.4.img.tar. I need help with this. How do I download twrp and get it so I can put it in Odin? I have searched all day for answer. Please help
I forgot to say I'm on t mobile Galaxy Note 3 5.0
Just save the the file as is. Why are you opening it in Winzip? Doesn't sound like you know enough to flash your phone. Please google how to odin twrp before you do it. Read it twice.
I got it. I came from Verizon where had locked bootloader and had to use safestrap. Never used custom recovery. For some reason the first time I saved the file, I couldn't get Odin to open it. I'm now rooted with custom rom.

Here easiest way
Install these apps from store
Twrp manager
Flashify
Download the twrp install via either then flash with Flashify . All other apps failed Installing twrp except flashify can download cwm twrp and Philz via flashify then backup kernel or recovery. Using SD card(simple fix to bootloop issues sometimes) flash the file you downloaded from it not phone. Should reboot after and hold down power home and vol+. Boot into recovery and back up everything. Should have already done this before you did custom rom. Incase partitions decided to corrupt lol note and galaxy tend to have a issue with partitions corrupting.
Subscribed to thread so need detailed guide that easy I got u. As well as files to use.
Thank you. I did backup everything. I always do. I appreciate your time and help. I know I will have other questions in the future, if you don't mind, it would be nice to know there is someone who can help if I get stuck.
