[Q] rom manager won't flash cw or amon on g1

Hey guys I'm very new to all this, I just used the z4root (Permenent root) method on my g1 dream and I would like to try a new rom on it but for some reason rom manager will not flash clockwork mod recovery or amon on it, it keeps saying that an error has occured when trying to access special privileges or something like that. does is matter if I'm using the free version or not? and do I need to put a custome hboot or bootloader on the phone as well? I've been reading for the last two days through these forums and I'm really lost and confused on how to do this. I understand that I must flash the rom from the custom recovery but can I get to the recovery through the hboot/bootloader once the custom recovery is flashed? Please help anyone. I appreciate it.

Never used z4 so cant really help there but i do know that you need a custom recovery to flash anything. So the question is can you get a recovery flashed. Can you boot into the os and log in? if so maybe you can get a terminal from the market and flash amonra from there with the instructions in his op. Not sure but worth a try.

z4root dont work proplerly try unviersal androot

Cool, hey johnson8 I really appreciate your help...so you're saying that the z4root has something to do with my phone not being able to download three recovery?

It might. I rooted mine the one click method a long time ago. Before these apps came out. Never liked rom manager either to be honest. I would try the androot the other Guy suggested really. See how it goes

Waited for 15 and still nothing...trying super froyo.v.8 been about eight mins and the same thing..could it be my boot loader or should I use amon ra instead of clockwork to flash? A little frustrating...Dangit!

Go to ezterry thread on 14 MB hack and fastboot flash new amonra recovery the radio and spl. Follow all instructions in there and try again. That will get u a good recovery new radio/spl and more ram comes with it. The new roms need that combo.

If you have any questions i will try to help. After this is done you should be set up to run adb and fastboot commands from your pc.
Do everything in this guide except the recovery image. You will be doing that via ezterry's thread with amonra recovery. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck

Ok will do..I appreciate all your help and have a safe trip..

DO NOT use ROM manager, it was created with the best of intentions but ultimately causes more problems than it helps with.

whoah.....this is false!
ROM manager has been around a lot longer than the captivate has.....and it works great on other android devices that ARENT samsung

rom manager is PERFECT for stock roms.
rom manager is bad when you have ClockworkMod built into the kernel already.!
ridethelight is on a bad roll today.

So how do i know if its built in?

Any suggestions ?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App

you would check out the page for your kernel but yes it does have it.
and looking at your rom... ect. you have already flashed a rom/kernel/modem (all in one) package.
so ya go back to post 3 instructions. also to get into recovery just long press the powerbutton then press 'recovery' it is easier than the button method in post 3.

Ok thanks alot. U all have been a big help !

[Q]Bricked?

Hey guys...
I am a newbie who successfully rooted & installed cognition
everything seemed fine until I flashed a theme called
"CirclesMod_SGS2_Cognition_107blue-signed"
When I turn on my phone, AT&T, cognition, and Galaxy S show up
and then the screen goes black and phone just vibrates once or twice in a while...
My phone DOES go into Downloading... screen
I am not sure what my situation is... I could not find anything like this in this forum.
Help this newbie solve the problem..?

Ok so im the only one this late...bear with me kus im on my phone and i cant refer you to links...first of all...if you CAN go into download there is nothing to worry about...search on xda for "odin one click" download the package once you find it. After run the application and plug in your phone in download mode..you will see that the computer has recognized your phone when in the app thre is a little yellow box in the top left corner...after that hit start in the app and wait for a while until it reboots back to stock..hope it helps

isnt that theme specific for SGSII ROM?

Ooh that is a faaaaail
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

If you can get in to recovery you can just reflash that rom (assuming you have the .zip on your SD). Also its usually a good idea to have a stock them for your phone on your SD when you are trying out themes. Something in the framework isn't compatible, but if it really is a SGS II theme dosen't suprise me.

sigh.. i passed out and just fixed it
thanks guys!
going into recovery mode and reflashing the rom did it!

[Q] Blackscreen problem please help

Good day to all of you, please help me with my friend's Galaxy S.

You can try a wipe data in recovery, if it works (power button +volume up + home when the phone is off)

Okay do what the guy above said,
1. Get into Recovery Mode(Volume up + Power Button)
2. Wipe data and cache
Please reply if anything happens.

[Q] Power Controls

I am having issues with the power button as are most Captivate users. What I would like to do is have a soft key or app that would allow me to reboot, boot into download or recovery. I did see someone do it at one time with the power button its self but I can no longer remember where. Any help would be appreciated.

Wahoo! Thank you. Still having trouble getting into download without ADB. The app will get me into Recovery but not Download. It just goes through the entire reboot.

Probably just need to make and or buy a Jig for download mode. See my signature link below (if u r on a pc or open in a Browser) for info about.

Ya I currently have to use a jig or adb. I was just hoping for a soft key. However it is nice to be able to get to recovery with it. Thank you.
