I thought I had everything figured out after I rooted my galaxy tab but I was wrong, I've seen so many ways to flash the clockworkmod I don't know which one will actually work. Am I correct when I say if I have ROM manager all I have to do after I root the tab is to tap on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and that's all I have to do? Then from there do I install the EXT4 kernel then after that I can finally install what ROM I want? And I don't fully understand what exactly clockworkmod is/does. sorry I'm sure this is a pain in the ass to have a noob asking these question when all the info is there but I've searched and searched and I am just not understanding it and I don't wanna mess up and brick my tab. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hey i am totally new to this rooting and stuff...i am confused;(...i have done a soft root using Universal Androot...i want to install CM6 using ROM manager my N1 is runnin wit 2.2 FRF91....Is this soft root enough to flash a custom rom or should i do anything else........
Pls help me!!
Thanks in advance....
Try it! xD
Seriously, if you have root, just install ROM Manager, and use it to flash a custom recovery, and then a ROM.
For the custom recovery, if you're on a newer phone you probably have the SLCD screen. The only Clockworkmod recovery that works with the SLCD is 2.5.1.1 which is available in the other recoveries section at the bottom of the first page.
Make sure you do a back up first.
Back up all your apps and data with Titanium Backup.
When flashing the ROM, wipe.
Make sure you install the latest gapps.
But first, read the wiki, and understand what you are doing...

It's better to ask first, if you are unsure... xD

Thanks for ur reply danger-rat...Am totally new my questions may sound stupid so kindly bear wit me...
I bought this phone a while ago...i dont think it has an SLCD screen...and am havin a problem wit OTA update to 2.2.1...i did not get any update notifications still..does this mean that ther is something wrong wit my phone??
No, there's nothing wrong with your phone. Read the Wiki and follow the guides to root. If you don't understand what you're doing, and you don't have the patience to read - you shouldn't be rooting the phone.
The OTA update server is still down, I believe.
my phone is rooted and running froyo with cognition 3.0.2. i bought it that way and i want to change to some different themes. i have a sd card in the phone and all the right stuff like cwm recovery and titanium back up. i have read all the stickys but i still cant figure out how to do this. i can get to the root of my sd card in windows all drivers are installed. i think im just missing a few steps and im there but i spent hours trying to figure it out and i failed lol. if somebody could please help me i would really appreciate it a lot. thanks in advance
Your gonna have to flash a compatible theme for Cognition. You can't just pick any theme. But here's one to get you started, instructions are on the page also: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918057&highlight=cognition+theme
What themes are you trying? As long as it is compatible it us very easy
But please read and read the stickies about flashing or your gonna come back here asking how to unbrick your phone.

edit: i needed to update my rom manager to boot into cwm recovery and i am there now. something that easy didnt let me boot into cwm. now i am all good
I have the Docomo version of the Galaxy S, SC-02B running 2.2.1 OMKA5 build. I have rooted the phone via Superoneclick. I have read through many posts but I have not really found a solid process or even if it is possible to get 2e recovery and CWM without having sim card or modem troubles.
Also, to my knowledge custom kernel and rom flashing cause similar issues. I would really like to do more with my phone, so if anyone has had stable success could you please post your method?

Follow this link if your not a Japanese reader use Google translate http://komugi.net/archives/2011/03/07104838.php
Thank you, I appreciate the response. I can read Japanese I will check it out and get to testing it out. I am surprised for the SC-02B being most popular phone in Japan, from what I have noticed not too many ppl are really doing much past rooting
Boo, he/she is basically confirming the same issues that the users on this forum encountered with their s-02b's.... Summarized from him other than getting 2e recovery on the phone, it does nothing
Actually you can have clockwork it is just inconvinient because it takes two steps to get to clockwork instead of one. Once you have 2e just download rom manager and your off and running. I'm doing nanodriod backups almost everyday so I can recover after I've failed to make a theme work or screwed up the phone in some other way. The big problem is their are no Japanese developers work on our phone and the other dev's are reluctant to develop for a platform that they don't have to test on.
According to that link the person said Rom manager didn't work...
If it does, than be able to make nandroid backups would definitely help me out a lot. Did you use his method to get 2e recovery, or another?
I used a different method but the results are the same. Can't find the link to the one I used. When he says it doesn't work I think he means that ROM manager doesn't boot directly into clockwork it boots into recovery and then you have to apply an update zip that puts you into clockwork the very first time you do it doesn't work and you have to apply it a second time. This is clearly explained somewhere deep in the ROM manager thread.
In his post shows clockwork running and mentions how long it takes to do the backup if your running OCLF.
Thanks for helpful information.
Hi All,
Before I start I want to say this is probably a very noob question, and I've tried searching the forums with little success (I don't fully undertand a lot of the information). Now, my question/issue.
I've rooted my device using SuperOneClick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367) and had no issues. Using ROM Manager I can't seem to get ClockworkMod installed. I select the "flash clockworkmod recovery" option then select "galaxy tab att" (I'm in Canada with Rogers but I assume it will work as there both GSM). It pops up that it successfully downloaded but then never installs. Is there a better way to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
You obviously haven't even bothered to check or search the development section. If you had you would already know how to do it.

Thanks for the friendly response. I actually did search the developer forms and didn't understand anything that I found. Which is why I asked here in the general form, I assumed it would be a way to get a better answer more suited for a less experienced user like myself.

OH AND ALSO, you would know to post in the Q&A section NOT IN THE GENERAL section.
Just flash the overcome 1.6 kernel (and the rom together) see dev section.
Or try stock Gingerbread rom from chainfire and flash his jq1 kernel after that

Considering I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make clockworkmod to work, and the articles in the dev section don't make a lot of sense to me I'm doubting that will make anything easier. I was told this was "the forum" to go to for help with Anrdoid work, I guess I should have been told that is only true if you already know how to do everything. Is there a better form for beginners?
Everybody once was a beginner. If you read the overcome manual, you'll know everything for flashing your tab. If you don't understand what the manual is about, then perhaps you shouldn't even consider flashing it.
Why do you want clockworkmod so badly?
The clockworkmod is intergrated in the kernels i just mentioned.

I will track down and read that manual, thanks. Regarding why I want cwm it is (as I understand it) the easiest way to install or change your existing rom. My end product is I want Gingerbread on this device, and I thought this would be the best way to install that rom.

Yes but you are expected to first "read" and then "learn". If you cant follow guides as simple as the ones here then you really shouldn't be attempting to flash anything to your device yet. At least not until you have read various topics.

what did you actually do? do you still have access to recovery / download mode? read carefully the instructions of the roms you try to flash , their prerequisites and so on.
also you should have first learnt how to use at least odin , flash quickly a custom kernel and obtain root to backup the important bits and pieces - there are a number of threads talking how to backup your efs folder for example.
good luck!
First of all, there is a questions section where you should post this.
2nd, change your title. Its annoying and exactly the reason why people wont help you.
3rd, read the stickies.
