[Q] Flashing CWM Recovery - can't see my phone model

Hello all! Hopefully, I put this thread in correct section. If not, please move it.
Anyway, here is my question.
I installed ROM Manager because I want to try some other ROMs on my SGS i9000 and when I want to flash the CWM Recovery, the only option I get is Google Nexus S. Is this normal? Should it show my model? Can there be any problems if I choose Google Nexus S option?

Thank you!

What ROM are you currently on ? if its a custom ROM you may have the Nexus Drivers, and that could be why it is only showing you that option.
there are many other ways of flashing a custom ROM so dont give up if ROM Manager starts acting up.
i personally prefer a flash with ODIN and all update Flashes through CWM

I recently upgraded from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3. Here you can see more info:
As far as i know, this is not a custom ROM, just leaked one. Or am I wrong? I upgraded it with ODIN too and it wasn't hard, I just think it would be even easier, if i didn't have to use the computer and could download ROMs directly on the phone.

You don't always need to root your phone install custom ROMs

Undoubtedly the devs use root for testing and tweaking. And I'm certain they play with custom ROMs; it's no coincidence that the last few iterations have been integrating features first found in custom ROMs.

Help! Wonda mobile Rog 2 without OTA

Hi everyone.
So I bought the Rog 2 from wonda mobile and at the time it was sold as Chinese version flashed with global rom WITH OTA updates.
I just checked the item page at Wonda and now they have amended the description/Q+A to now say that NO OTA and that updates have to be done on computer.
I assume that the bootloader was unlocked on this mobile before they flashed to global WW ROM, I have attached screenshot from devicehw - PLEASE CONFIRM IF MY BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED.

}
If my bootloader is already unlocked, and I already have global WW ROM installed 1908. 12_0, what is the process for me to install the latest WW update?
And finally, if I install the latest updates can I keep all my data and settings? Or do I have to backup/restore every single time?
All help is appreciated, thanks in advance :good:

Anybody?

You need to change your fingerprint to be WW following the guide in the Guides channel. No OTA updates for you. To update, you have to place the update file in the root directory of the phone and the system will pick it up and flash without you losing your data. This is covered in the guides section.

I also installed the official Europa Ram
Now I have installed the official Global Ram
But the region is on China and I can't change it
The theme is also in Chinese language and there is an error downloading the theme 4001.

POS
LOS
& Arrow OS

My personal opinion is about custom roms, for now they are good but they have some nasty issues. I tried POS for more than 4 days and now I'm back to RUI with root. Let's see how far this phone goes with custom roms, but for now I'll wait. I don't want to offend the developers, I even thank them for what they do!
