Is this for people who have flashed ClockworkMod 3 already?
Will I see this? I have ROM Manager v3.0.0.7 w/ ClockworkMod 2.5.1.3 currently.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm just a little confused.

I had the same setup as you (RM v3.0.0.7/CM 2.5.1.3) and saw the update, now I have the latest ClockworkMod Recovery 3

WOOOOHOOOOOO
Now all the threads about people not being able to get it will stop!

Ah alright so now when I get it that should allow me to install Cyanogenmod 7 then right since clockwork 3 supports ext4? I didn't do the ENG-Hboot though. I'm assuming that could prevent me from doing any Gingerbread ROM?

NOPE. That is not necessary to flash CM7. With CWM3, you are good to go.

Yeah for sure. GV has most of the gingerbread source kanged from CM7 anyway, with some visual tweaks as far as I have been able to see. With CWM3, you will be good to flash any G2 ROM that is available to us.

Sweetness. I seen that Eng-hboot in the Cyanogenmod 7. Not really sure why?
But I did Get Root using Rage & Gfree. I have never flashed back to an older recovery though.

Is this universal now or will I still need to downgrade to get back to
cm6.1.1

Ganii ran a test with it said he could flash between 2.2 and 2.3 with no problems plus he was able to do nandriods of both and restore them, so sounds like it is universal for all roms 2.2 and 2.3.

Yes,seems to be no problems there.
Come from CM7 Nightly,then I did a wipe data/factory reset.
Installed now CM 6.1.1 Froyo 2.2 ROM,works.
Did a nandroid backup,works.
Then tried to restore,works too
CWM 3.0.0.5 seems to work now with 2.2 ROMs too

i was on the 2.xxx recovery in rom manager and it prompted me to flash new recovery of 3.0.0.5. so I dont think its for people who already have 3.0.0.5

I had 3.0.0.5 already and yes it did promt me to update to 3.0.0.5 because proir to this everyones recovery in rom manager said 2.5.1.3 even if they were on 3.0.0.5, so this is for everyone.

Installed few days ago from here,but it`s the old one:
http://phones.crackflashers.com/vision/index.php?folder=cmVjb3Zlcmllcw==
Can`t restore 2.2 ROMs with this,so the recovery 3.0.0.5 which
you can download now via ROM Manager is newer.

Updated fine, just want to know do I have to partition my sd card
with ext 4 before I try cm7? I backed up my sd to my computer and
have cm7 and gapps downloaded and ready to go.

No,not needed.

Sweet, giving it a go now.

[Q] can you flash cm7 if you have froyo firmware running?

I'm not sure if anyone has asked this question but I can't seem to find anything about it. Well my mytouch4g is currently running froyo. Long story short I downgraded my firmware because gingerbread was giving me problems, its a long story so please don't ask lol. But I really like the look of the cm7 ice cream sandwich theme. I was wondering can I still flash this rom even though I'm running on froyo now?
Also can anyone give me a link to the cm7 ice cream rom or just the cm7 rom if I am able to flash it. I'm a little confused about which is the latest one.
thanks everyone. I'm a total noob when it comes to android. thanks again!

of course you can flash CM7...
this is the CM7.1.0 ROM
and if you want ICS: Creamed Glacier ROM
your phone has root correct?
if not, root it, and put on a custom recovery, i.e ClockWorkMod Recovery
after being rooted and having a custom recovery installed:
reboot into recovery
1) DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
2) wipe Data/factory reset, cache, and Dalvik (under advanced)
3) flash Cyanogenmod 7 ROM
4) flash additional gapps.zip (optional)
5) reboot (this can take a while, just sit tight and wait)
6) hit thank thanks button
Disclaimer: i WILL NOT be responsible for whatever happens to your device. PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE PROCEEDING.
hope this helps.

On some older versions of clockworkmod you had to switch recovery versions to move between froyo and GB. I actually soft bricked my phone on my first flash because I didn't think to ask this question. That, however, is no longer the case. Follow Saranhai's instructions and you should be safe.

Custom Roms for ICS

Hello
I am considering installing a custom rom for ICS. I notice that some are in RC stages. I have a few questions:
What custom rom is the best for ICS?
Can you update the rom version without needing to reflash?
Thanks

Allways an update version needs to be flashed, but if you are on ICS you normally are not needed to make a factory reset. Only flash the update and reboot.
Nevertheless it is usefull to safe your data. CWM backup and Titanium Backup I would advice.

You should probably post in Q&A for this stuff.
There are two prominent versions at the mo,
1 - Onecosmics ICS RC 2.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223)
2 - Teamhacksungs ICS ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593)
There are a few more but these are probably your best place to start.
OneCosmics version is based on stock ICS, Teamhacksungs is more of a CM7/ICS build, so not totally stock.
Both work well, but neither are perfect yet. Onecosmics is goodin my eye as i like stock. Keep it simple and hopefully little will break....
You should also read the android development page for i9000, this will show you all you need and you can read what you like!
Getting a 'Custom Rom' will be rare at this point as stock still isn't 100% to work off.
You can install both via CWM i believe. Just ensure you go from stock and backup via Nandroid or similar.
Going back to GB, you can just flash via ODIN.

No flashing is through recovery mode (cwm) . All instructions are posted in teamhacksung ics first post.

I cant see anything about flashing from a stock rom. I need a "from scratch" guide.

I myself would go for onescomics, but i just like stock android over CM7

Basically -
you want ICS to be installed over a clean firmware install to avoid potential problems. i.e. Stock firmware (stock with root is fine by the way!) with a factory reset & cache wipe from recovery mode. THEN install ICS via CWM.
If you are on stock GB already, then just do a factory reset & Cache wipe and go from there with instructions on Onecosmics thread mentioned above etc.
Make sure you know what you're doing and backup your efs etc.
That help?

How do you install cwm?
The instructions doesnt.give detailed instructions..
Can you post what i should do from installing cwm to flashing the rom? I am using jvu btw.

Cripes, you should do some forum reading, i'm worries you don't know enough to be doing this to your phone (sorry, i just don't want you to do something you're not sure about...)
CWM is generally installed when you root your phone, easiest method is with Chainfire's Root (i think SuperOneClick is also working again now, but i can't guarantee it'll work on JVU).
CF-Root (Chainfire's Root) look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Make sure you use root for JVU, and follow instructions, flash with ODIN.
This will install CWM and superuser. You can do a backup in CWM. Please read up on how it works, there are plenty of guides out there. for EFS backup, read about, i'd advise it, just in case. With root, there are programs you can download from market to do it, or Nandroid, if you know how that works.
NB: ROOTING VOIDS YOUR WARANTEE
kapeesh?
whatever you do, make sure you know what you're doing before flashing anything.
and read up on CWM and recovery mode. There be dragons in there....
Flake x
(p.s. remember to thank all the useful people yeh? )

Be careful have a good read up before you decide to flash. Make sure you read up on how to un brick your phone just in case.

Yup. Cf-root is available for JVU.

Done, had a scare at first.
When i flashed from cm7 to ics it didnt recognise my iemi or get a signal.
I Odin'd back to JVU and flashed the kernal then went straight to ICS and its working fine.

Yeah, I got the generic imei on flashing cm7, don't know why, as I'd used cm7 before with no issues. Fortunately had a backup. Bit scary though.

Going to install a custom rom, but how do I start?

So I finally decided to install a custom rom on my MyTouch 4G (HTC Glacier), and after a lot of research I found out that IceColdSandwich is probably the best one to use (can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629962 )
First off: If there is a better 4.0.x rom out there and I haven't found it...PLEASE direct me to it!
But now I'm stuck. IceColdSandwich has no instructions on how to do this.
I am running the stock T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Gingerbread 2.3.4 with HTC Sense 2.1 and I haven't modified the phone in any way.
Now what to do? How to properly root it and how to install the rom?
I need step by step instructions otherwise I am likely going to screw up somewhere and I can't afford a new phone
So if anyone is willing to invest some time to help me please reply.
P.S.: What would be the best 4.1 (JellyBean) rom i should be keeping an eye on (as in what rom is most likely going to be the best choice to update to when it's ready)?

Use that guide to downgrade and root.
Once you are rooted with S-OFF and have a custom recovery installed, download your ROM of choice, reboot to recovery, make a nand backup, wipe data, cache and system (minimum) and install the zip from sd card.
Check out aospx.

you must downgrade before rooting and upgrading ROMs. My phone is 2.3.4 when I bought it too and I tried many guides but it's just didn't work. Only downgrade to 2.2 makes it way to install other ROMs

[Q] Been away - what's my next move after Royal Ginger 1.6?

Hi guys,
I don't like when people post "how do I root my phone?" when you can search 100 threads to root your phone, so I was hesitant to post this, but I've been away a year or whatever it's been, and I see a whole bunch of new ROMS that are totally unfamiliar to me.
I chose Royal Ginger 1.6 (based on android 2.3.3) way back when (still have it) because I thought it was a stable, non-SENSE plain android ROM that was much faster than the sense that came with my mytough 4g. And I was right. I know it was updated to 2.0 and then the DEV stopped, or whatever the demise was.
I didn't update to 2.0 at the time since I have one of the "bad chips", so it wasn't compelling enough to risk something that was working fine.
I'm getting the itch again to update my phone - it's cheaper than getting a new 4.0 phone and a new contract and $$$. Figured if I slap jelly bean on this it'll make it feel like I got a free upgrade.
Mostly I'm after something that is solid and not something I'd look back and say "why didnt I just leave well-enough lone?" where I'd lose functionality in things I'm used to. (camera etc)
What's the new Royal Ginger nowadays? What's the no brainer ROM to flash when reliability and compatibility is concerned?
Should I go back to entertaining CM nightlies? It seems that some of the andoid v3 ROMS are stable, and what about andoid v4-- isnt that too much of a reach to make compatible with this aging glacier that we have? Not too buggy to use a jelly bean aopk 4.x.x on this?
Thanks for any input

If u wanna stay aosp wuth everything working I suggest cm7.2 stable or nightly that GB For ICS/JB I suggested AospX, or Dark Jellybelly or the port O.O all pretty stable with little to no bugs

I plan on building the milestone release tonight, so go ahead and take your time into getting back into things (unless you're eager to try BR7 ). I might be able to get it released tonight as well if everything goes right.

Thanks man. Read on another thread here you released the milestone or RC. I'll have to check it out.
question for you or anyone else reading this - maybe on that other thread I read about a guy who got into some boot loop trying to flash your rom I think the BR7 iteration, when he way trying to upgrade from royal ginger.
As I said that's the rom I have on there now, and so my brain brain froze a little while reading that.
Any people upgrading from Royal Ginger to this? Hey bootloop guy - did you ever get past your problem? (I think the responses to your post were to wipe again, reflash, etc etc, but I think you said you did that)
Thanks

He likely had an older version of clockwordmod (someone else had similar trouble on another ics/jb rom) so just make sure you update it if you haven't in a while. I'd also suggest using 4ext if you're not using it already as people on cwm seem to be having trouble using it with the OTA Updater. Also, it allows you to wipe everything you need to flash a rom with just one option.

I'm on royal ginger 1.6 from way last year, and am ready to flash your aospx mr1.
I have ROM manager 5.0.2.1 and with that I flashed CWM Recovery (it downloaded it over data network nice and fast), just 2 days ago, so it must be the latest.
So you're saying that 4ext may be less prone to error... If I go with that, where does that leave ROM Manager, it stays installed- there's no reason to uninstall it? And the CWM recovery? Does 4ext flash its recovery right over my existing CWM recovery?

You can still use ROM Manager with 4ext. Yes, just flash it right over.
