Hi, I rooted my S5570 and installed super-user and Rom Manager, my volume rockers are totally busted (broken off via my younger sister) and now I'm trying to flash a ROM using Rom manager, so i go to Install Rom From SD card I select Cm-10.10 tass, then reboot and install in recovery, the phone restarts and goes into Android System Recovery, now I have to scroll down to apply sdcard.update.zip but I can't due to not being able to use the rocker, what should I do any other way to install ROMS? Thanks (Sorry if I posted this into the wrong section I'm a n00b to android pretty much)

Obviously, you need to update your CWM recovery to a touch enabled version. I know there is a flashable zip around, but you would probably need a version flashable through odin.. just look around
Just google: cwm touch galaxy mini

How do i flash a rom? I see there is an AmonRa recovery for the Droid Eris that doesn't require a trackball....is there something similar for the Nexus One?!
My current rom doesn't let me add an account, the trackball doesn't work and the home button and search button are a little weird.
I need help! x/

You'll need the trackball for Amon Ra and CWM too IIRC.
i figured it out!
download this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291970
it installs an app that will install recovery and also allow you to create a script to run in recovery.
so if your trackball doesn't work, you don't have to select anything in recovery, just do everything from within android itself.
be sure to go through the options and allow SUPERWIPE to be included in the options. it's the best route because you can't wipe DATA 3 times with this method!
If you are already rooted, ROM Manager lets you boot directly into the recovery!
If you are running a modded ROM right now, the power off menu will have an option where you can boot in recovery too

The problem is once you get into recovery, you need to use the trackball to select your items. His trackball isn't working.
ROM manager actually lets you do pretty much everything from within the booted OS. You can download and flash ROMs, change recoveries, make and restore from backups, etc.
I don't think you can do custom kernels (i.e. something other than what comes with whatever ROM you choose)...but actually, you might be able to. If you choose "Install ROM from SD card," it will let you choose any zip file. I don't know if it performs a check to see if the zip file is a rom or not, but if this menu entry merely tells CWM (the recovery) to install that zip file, you're good on ROMs too.
Hello.
ROM manager is unable to download clokworkmod recovery. Maybe because I'm in a "sanctioned country" CUBA and I have a lot of internet restrictions from both Google and my ISP.
My question is: Can I manually download clokworkmod recovery and copy it on the SD card and have ROM manager install it?
If the answer is yes: How? and where do I find Clockworkmod for the captivate?
i897 stock 2.1.1 rooted and unlocked.
Thanks.

all rom manager does is put this zip file on your sdcard. its not needed.
just drop this on the root of your sdcard, reboot to recovery and reinstall packages twice. CWM will come up then

the one caveat to this ... make sure you have the 2e boot loader when you boot into recovery. The 2e bootloader is the stock bootloader that comes with froyo. 3e will require you to have the update packages signed, and therefore will need to downgrade to 2e before you can switch to CWM.

Wrong.
2e RECOVERY comes from firmware 2.1, which the OP stated he was on. Froyo comes with 3e recovery. Has nothing to do with bootloader, because the bootloaders are the same between eclair and Froyo.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Working, one more question. I noticed three things:
1 - If I reboot to recovery again it goes into stock recovery (2e). Then I hit reinstall packages only once and ClockWorkMod comes up.
2 - If I delete the update.zip from the sd card CWM will not work.
3 - ROM Manager still says that CWM is not installed therefore is not working OK.
Is all this ok? Should I select: "Install sdcard:update.zip" while in CWM? Should I do something else?

That sounds pretty normal to me. If you are getting into CWM then thats all that really matters. The deal with ROM manager is that it doesnt work very well with our phones. But if you are trying to flash a custom ROM you can still do it without ROM Manager. However, you need to read up about the rom you want to flash because it is a slightly risky process. Its as risky as using ROM Manager and almost Russian roulette if you dont read.
But do not delete the update.zip after you install it. I dont know if it messes with the boot process of recovery mod but I do know its better to have that backup file on your SD card already if you run into a problem later on.
Don't bother with ROM manager. Its close to useless with SGS phones. Make sure your 3 botton combo works and you should be golden. Also making a jig isn't a bad idea also, just incase you do screw up and you get in a softbrick where your keycombos decide to not work.
hi everyone,
I want to install modaco desire rom my nexus one but my trackball is broken and not able to be repaired.How can i install rom without trackball. my english is bad sorry for that.
Best regards
I'm not an expert, but you can flash roms with the computer, you only need to conect the phne to the PC and start in fastboot, no use of the trackball. But i'm not sure how to flash roms with PC
Install a recovery that allows you to work with volume buttons and/or touch buttons instead of trackball. Try the latest CWM of 4EXT.
easy:
1) root your current rom (if not already rooted)
2) install rom manager from market or koush's webpage
3) download custom ROM to SD card using browser, USB, whatever
4) flash CWM recovery through rom manager
5) flash custom ROM through rom manager, rom manager will reboot to recovery and flash rom for you

If I understood correctlly you have deleted everything from you're phone, well I do this every time when I flash a new rom. Just go back into recovery and flash a rom. Or you deleted absolute everything? recovery too? If so then download AIO toolkit, plug in your phone to pc via usb and hold down volume- and volume+ at the same time and flash back your desired recovery
If this helped press thanks button!

I'm not very familiar with TWRP I use clockworkmod but let see if I can help.
Well I don't know anything about TWRP
I suggest to flash clockwork mod recovery, Flash it using AIO toolkit (remove battery plug into the pc with the volume buttons pressed 4-5 sec)
then flash clockworkmod recovery 6
the boot up unto recovery (press power button and volume- simultaneously) the navigate down to mount (above advanced) and navigate to mount usb, a window on your pc will show up and copy cyanogenmod rom and gapps (wich can be found here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps )
remove usb, go back and navigate to wipe data/cache then to advanced and wipe dalvick, go back
and at mount tab navigate to format system an format it go back and go to flash zip -> flash zip from external sd and flash cyanogenmod and gapps
That's it
Let me know if this helped

It wont work, its stuck on the lg screen:crying:
if you tried to flash plain cyanogen rom over stock ics - it won't work because ics uses the new bootloader so you'll have to repartition your phone to old bootloader using aio toolkit (all in one toolkit)...
or just install some custom cm based roms for new bootloader such as tonyp's or pengus77 ones (follow the instructions on the specific rom threads 1st page)

Hi Forum
I have a 4 year old Samsung Galaxy S Plus. I have a problem with the phone physically - meaning that the volume buttons are not working. I want to install ClockWorkMod Recovery Touch but cannot flash it as I cannot move in my recovery down and up. Is there anyway that I can install ClockWorkMod Recovery without flashing it ? Or better yet... how can I root this phone without flashing ? I have a zip file and that zip file once flashed with give me root access, but once again cannot do it as the volume keys are not working on my sammie. Any ideas ??
You can try rooting with this app, just install and in one click you will have root http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276 and if that doesn't work try http://www.oneclickroot.com/phone/samsung-galaxy-s-plus/ regarding getting into recovery mode you could install a rom that would boot into recovery mode from the phones operating system, all CyanogenMod roms do this ( probably most custom roms do) if you hold power button you get the power menu options then just choose to boot to recovery
EDIT: actually if you're not already on a custom rom then you can't use the power menu options, ok so try rooting then installing an app that would let you boot to recovery. Something like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...um=organic&utm_term=android+power+menu+widget

Thanks for info... except that I can boot into recovery, except that I cannot select anything because my volume buttons don't work, so I cannot move up or down in order to select an option. I need a TOUCH RECOVERY in order to select any option not using my volume buttons. I have this in my HTC Sensation using Touch Clockworkmod Recovery and I am not using any of my volume buttons. Is there any way I can get that touch recovery and install it without flashing it ?
Oh i see sorry i miss understood you, ok so install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334554 then flash the touch recovery version here http://d-h.st/QEP thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825
EDIT: you'll need to root it first so try this http://www.oneclickroot.com/phone/samsung-galaxy-s-plus/ and if that doesn't work then try "Framaroot" link in my previous post,
You can use the ROM Manager app instead of going to recovery. You can do everything that's in the recovery from the app.
