Hi Folks,
Just got my 32GB Nexus 7 and am in the process of rooting and of course i will be no doubt trying out custom ROM's i see Paranoid Android and Liquid Smooth both of which i have used (current PA) for the Galaxy S3 also have ROM's for the Nexus 7, anyway i will be selling my laptop and just using the Nexus from here on in, my question is, is it recommended to download Goo Manager to download and Install ROM's, etc, i usually use CWM but am aware that Goo Manager seems to be the more updated and popular choice thesedays and seen as im new to the Nexus i thought you folks could offer some assistance here.
Cheers
Don't need goo manager to flash roms it is just like ROM manger to a degree. I only use it to install the latest twrp recovery and to to check for ROM updates. Seem like u already know how to flash so I won't get into that. Use this site and are others to get ROMs for our n7 store them in a folder ( I have one title Roms) and flash as normal.

Download it from the thread and boot into recovery manually. I wouldn't use goo or ROM manager to flash anything. You did already unlock the boot loader and flash a custom recovery correct? This requires a PC.

Also use CWM to flash roms. I use goo to check if there are ROM updates.
I didn't flash custom recovery but yeah unblocked the bootloader and rooted, cool I'll install cwm then.
Cheers guys

You can only install a custom recovery after being rooted. And the only way to root is to flash a superuser package with you guessed it, a custom recovery. You can't just install ROM manager and flash a custom recovery. You have to manually flash one with fastboot on a PC.

I was wondering if we could install permanent ClockworkMod recovery on Samsung Galaxy Y. According to the method mentioned here one needs to install ROM Manager and select Flash CLockworkMod Recovery and choose the phone as Galaxy Mini. But Galaxy Mini does not appear in the options.
Another method is listed here where you need to download the file and flash via stock recovery. But it is not a permanent ClockworkMod Recovery. Does someone know how to get permanent ClockworkMod Recovery?
There isn't one atm I think. You'll have to wait for a dev to make one.

both methods DO NOT WORK.
recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-tass.zip and
CWM_bla_bla.zip
is the same stuff. not working as advertised (meaning: permanently replacing stock recov, if that is what the edify comment wants to say). nobody in this forum even claimed to have been successful.
You have to install an older version of Rom Manager where you can select your phone. Not the latest version of it. But to boot into it, you have to boot through Rom Manager app using 'Boot Into Recovery' option.
What would be the advantage of doing so ?

hi to all,
i think we, (s5360 users) can now have a permanent CWM recovery via ROM manager "VERSION 4.7.0.2" :laugh: mabe????
i had the attached apk file.( Maybe, this it is the oldest version of ROM manager) then after installing, must choose the phone as galaxy MINI as you try to install CWM recovery on it.
of course, you have to boot into recovery via ROM manager.
Hope it helps

That is because of the kernel... So instead of flashing the rom u can flash custom kernel. Besides H8 final doesn't have kernel in it....
Remeber one thing.... A permanent CWM comes with a custom kernel. Otherwise you will have to flash CWM.zip manually from the stock recovery.

flash a custom recovery, then boot into it and flash a rom. there wasnt any need for the root toolkit considering all you have to do to root any nexus is fastboot oem unlock, fastboot a custom recovery, flash a custom rom, and reboot.

easiest way.. download the goo manager app from the market, free. open it, give it root permission when it asks, press the menu button(three dots on the top right), press install openrecovery script, press yes, let it do its thing, now twrp recovery is installed
fastboot would be the method to install it when youre just rooting. but if you are already rooted, through goo manager is the easiest way to install twrp recovery.

jflteatt comes up now on rom manager for a cwm download, but I tried flashing it and every time it just brings me back to oudhs. I went back to twrp hoping that would do something and it does the same thing. It even says I'm running cwm 6.0.3.2 when I have twrp loaded. I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong, but I want my traditional cwm if possible.
I'm not saying that ROM Manager won't work, but given that nobody else on here has even mentioned using it successfully, I'm kind of wondering why you decided to go it alone rather than follow one of the excellent guides to flashing recovery on you $700 phone.

Because I'm daring and have black tie from best buy to get a free phone (not to sound like a piece of ****). I stopped at this point because I changed the url from the t mobile touch version on the rom manager portion of the cwm site and it downloaded the jflteatt version. I'm stopping until we hear something though because there must be a reason he hasn't listed the file yet. I'm fine with OUDHS anyway. It's great. I just love the interface of the original cwm touch. I don't even know where to flash it in adb anyway. What is the recovery partition to flash an img on this phone?

Assuming You're Rooted, see below, If you're NOT yet Rooted, watch this video first http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cI9r5dEcNo4 follow the steps then see below.
If you wan't OUDHS, follow steps 1-5
If you wan't TWRP, stop after step 2
1) download goomanager
2) install TWRP via goo manager
3) download OUDHS for ATT i337 flashable zip
4) Reboot into TWRP Recovery
5) Flash OUDHS Recovery flashable zip.
ROM Manager and ODIN not required.
Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD. Just ask the guy who flashed an aroma installed wicked S3 rom to his S4 (twice) He didn't even need bestbuy's "black tie" he just used the low budget walmart return policy.

Haha note taken. I fooled around a little more before I read this and finally stopped. I'll wait and see. I have premium so I wanted to flash touch. The original downloads fine and flashes, but doesn't stick. The touch one is giving me the server error which it wasn't doing an hour ago. I contacted the cwm team. Hopefully they'll get a working version up soon and fix the error. Until then, I'm staying with the OUDHS that I've had since the day of the exploit release.
Hello, first time poster. I recently tried rooting my phone using CWM method. I'm running sph-l720 with software version vpaumf9 and android version 4.2.2. I installed CWM (this version SPH-L720 OUDHS Recovery) with odin with success. Then flashed SuperUser v.099. Everything went smooth until I opened up super user and tried to install binaries and it says "Install failed". I'm wondering if I didnt have the wrong beginning firmware and i needed to (but didnt) install that pre-kernel. I'm also wondering if I have to download the original firmware and have to flash to stock in order to "unroot" even though I didnt finish the SuperUser process, or is their a way to delete the super user app and try to install it again using the same CWM i have already on the phone. I hope this isn't confusing. I'm not a complete novice to rooting, but no expert. I rooted my galaxy s2 but went to Iphone for a while, but now I'm back and a little dissapointed with myself at this fail. Any suggestions? Do i have to go to stock first? Was I using the wrong files for my initial firm ware and need the pre kernel? Am I blabbering on? (yes) Thanks in advance.

Grap CF-Autoroot from here
Follow the instructions here:
Boot back to phone. Open up SU and update binaries.
Then
Go to Playstore and download/install GooManager
Open GooManager and then press the 'menu' button (capicitive button next to Home Button) and choose to install recovery (I like TWRP).
Then let it do it's thing.
If you'd like a real easy way to get 'into recovery mode' from the phone I use the Quickboot app
Also make sure that if you are going to flash ANY ROMs you follow the instructions the developer suggests - many suggest specific recoveries be used

thank you! do i need to do anything before i do this? (Like using odin to revert back to stock?)
i ask because i already have CWM installed
I did the auto root, and open SuperSU and it doesnt ask to update binaries...does that mean it is already done. I didnt find the option in the settings.

As long as your on some kind of TW/Stock based ROM you should be Okay.
However if you want to go back to straight (AND ROOTED) stock you can use one of rwhilco12's 'one-click' restores.
The one click downloads as a zip. decompress and then run the one -click. If you've never run a oneclick read here
It will give you a stock ROM, rooted, MF9 Modem, Stock recovedry, and Stock kernel. You'll then have to use GooManger method to get custom recovery.

man thanks so much. so i definitly got super user access. I'm about to do the goo manager. since you suggested the twrp i think i'm going to try that. since i have CWM recovery installed, do u think that will create any issues if I go to install TWRP from goo manager
actually i googled and it seems that goo manager will seamlessly overwrite cwm. sorry for the questions before searching. appreciate the help. i almost didn't come on here, which would of lead me to reverting to stock, doing cwm again, then being upset that i needed twrm for most roms lmao. I owe u one. If u ever need to learn how to make bad decisions, just shoot me a pm. I got u covered.
No it will just replace it.
I actually (and many around here too) prefer TWRP 2.5.0.2.
You can download the zip for that here, boot to recovery you have now (CWM) and then install that. Or use Goo to install lates TWRP and boot to recovery and then install zip and choose the 2.5.02 you downloaded and then save to your sd card
scratch what i posted here. I ended up having to download ROMmanager and update CWM, then used CWM to install the zip you provided me. thanks so much man. Do you have a favorite stable ROM you recommend using TWRP. I value your advice

Glad you got it.
As for ROMs you really have to try them out for yourself. There are some really great TW ROMs ; Sacs, negalite, triforce and others. For CM/AOSP there are a whole bunch to choose from. I mess with just about all of them. But my daily driver has to be one hundred percent working and reliable so for that I'm usually on a stock debloated and modified TW ROM. Take some time to read through the OPs of the devs and just as importantly through the follow up posts to see what works what doesn't ahs how to fix or get what you need.
Good luck

Try this Rom!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327692&page=43
works great!
Long story short: I want cm on the S4 after using it on the HD+, but CWM isn't booting up.
I've seen problems regarding simply accessing the recovery mode like needing to use the buttons twice after powering on, but the thing is that after getting to do this, for whatever reason, the phone boots up with the default recovery option (Android system recovery <3e>).
Some background on the phone would be that it is rooted, about one year ago when I bought it. I fear that I might have flashed something back then, but I don't have any of the files. To add, I sadly don't remember the method, but I can give some device info:
View attachment 2870784
The next and last thing would be that ROM manager says I have CWM installed and even with the reboot option of the app, it takes me to the default recovery.
View attachment 2870785
Any similar experiences on how to deal with this? I'd at least have a means to access CWM.
Are you sure you're still rooted? If you're not sure I would re-flash root using motochopper

Well, yes. I do have things like tethering and su on the phone, plus root checking apps from the store say its rooted.
ROM Manager is crap. It says I have CWM 6.0.4.7 installed but when I boot into recovery it says 6.0.4.4.
I've been looking for a way to manually install the latest Touch version of CWM but so far I've come up with nothing. Maybe if you flash TWRP (via Goo Manager app) you'll then be able to flash CWM back over it. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries for Goo Manager to successfully flash the recovery.
Even better, I figured out how to flash CWM touch. The loki_tool downloaded here can patch any compatible img file and then flash your recovery directly.
