So, i installed Rom Manager and noticed that it has Gio in the supported list, so i flashed CWM with rom manager and it went fine.
But, when i choose to reboot to recovery from rom manager, it reboots to CWM v4.x.x. and when i power down the phone and boot to recovery via holding home+power, it boots to phiezx's CWM v5.x.x. so i have 2 recoverys at the same time.
Is this just a rom managers feature?

Yes, ROM Manager installs it's own recovery (4.0.1.5). It just supports ext2 format on sd-ext, though, phiexz cwm (5.0.2.7) is the newest cwm and supports ext4. ROm manager cannot handle this on the gio, it seems. I mailed to the developer about it before xmas, but never got an answer.
@robinandroid
it seems ROm manager now supports the gio officially, i used it without brick.
It's just no good with latest cwm from phiexz, so I dropped rom manager again.

Ok heres the issue that doenst make sense?
I have my epic touch prerooted with the zedomax wpic v3 1.6oc kernel, which roots the device and installs cwm recovery.
How am i suppose to use rom manager when it wants u to choose a phone model to flash cwm recovery through rom manager when its already flashed with the tar file
i choose epic touch but has a bunch of gt 1900 phone models, then it goes to a black screen and dumps everything and i have to pull battery and restart
So is rom manager useless with this kernel

redownload rom manager and u will see epic touch on there too now.
only kernel that rom manager works with this kernel from chris 41g. this is pure stock with cwm 5.0.2.7

I was having some weird issue too. What I did was flash the kernel to gain root access. Afterwards I flashed CWM using Odin, since it wasn't flashing using ROM manager. I kinda lost the root after that though. So I just flashed the kernel again and I had root again with CWM.
Apparently the kernel wasn't flashing a recovery at all and ROM manager wasn't flashing CWM to my phone. It was saying it flashed, but I always had stock recovery.
So I just:
Odin and flashed kernel for root
Odin and flashed CWM
Lost root? So Odin Kernel again.
Now have CWM and root.

you have somethings confused, I think.. recovery and the kernel are one in the same.. so if the kernel has cwm you do, if it doesnt you dont... you cant flash cwm by itself, then a kernel ontop and have both..

if you flash through cwm you wont have that issue... rom mananger works different... in fact i dont use rom manager for that same reason
ROM manager flashes a temporary CWM. To get it permanant* you have to download the full recovery.zip and flash it.

Can you enter recovery mode (hold down home only and start)?
This might sound silly, but also make sure your battery is fully charged. And do, the phone probably won't be able to do the job. (Unless you still get the charging icons when the phone is plugged in but turned off.)
if u can get it in recovery mode download phiexz's cyanogen mod 7.1 instal zip from recoverymode ( take sd card out of phone and put in pc )
and then instal googlegapps
then reboot phone then it should just work fine
if not getting in recovery get in download mode download giopro 1.4 (install using oding v4.42 )
Howto :
#1put phone in download mode then plug in pc
#2 select the gio ops v1.0
#3select single package
#4select the giopro v1.4
#5 START!!!
P.S. when its booting and its on bootimage it takes a while to start (whit me it was ) when you see GIOPRO falling down and it wont start take out battery wait 1 or 2 sec and put it in then start recoverymode wipe data/ factory reset then its done (and ofc reboot )
if i helped u plz thank me

you have try USB JIG..???
Have you installed the USB drivers for Gio?
I had this lik 2 days ago.
What i did was pull out the battery press all the buttons to get in to download mode (power + volume down + home) and then put in the batt again while pressing all the buttons. (You will get into download mode) And after that just flash a custom or stock rom with odin.

I tried to flash back to stock using odin, but it just stop at setup conncection

The phone doesn't work buddy,
I know, if the battery is too low, this could cause issues with download mode.
Also, do we even have a single confirmed report of a download mode USB jig working on the Gio?
But I'm afraid your phone is in need of professional attention.

Has anyone tried the touch recovery flashed by ROM manager on their Nexus and are there any bugs with it? I am abit gun shy with ROM manager flashing anything on anything till I hear others have done it and what happened.
I can confirm it works perfectly, at least with regular flashing tasks and it's definitely more convenient than using the volume and power buttons
why not just fastboot flash it yourself so then you dont have to have rom manager flash it?
also, i like it alot.
I flashed CWM touch using the galaxy nexus toolkit and its been working fine for me.. I have already used it for a nandroid backup and flashed several radios with the touch version
Works perfectly. Don't worry about issues
I love it, no issues with it. Flash it with Rom Manager but that's where I'd stop with RM. Probably best to do all the flashing manually.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
The touch version works just fine, though I've recently switched to TWRP: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 - integrates nicely with goo.im
I personally wouldn't flash it with rom manager myself as flashing in fastboot is dead simple anyways. I use the one from development section and it works great for everything I have done with it.
I flashed CWM touch using the galaxy nexus toolkit and manually using fastboot. Both methods seem to work, but Rom manager still shows current recovery as CWM 5.5.0.4 after phone reboot. Any idea what am I doing wrong ??

rom manager only updates what it has if you flash it through rom manager
Yes, I can see it in recovery. Thanks.
Hi,
I've rooted my galaxy ace II and installed a custom rom for this device, but i didnt liked it so
i did a full wipe and installed another rom. I forgot what i did next but the problem is that recovery mode isnt avaible but download mode is.
It also stuck on the bootscreen and i rooted when it was on android 2.3.6.
So how can I get recovery back so that i can restore a nandroid backup?
I've already tried it with Samsung Kies and with samfirmware(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337544).

Unless that custom ROM is 2.x based (like my Ultimate Gingerbread ) you have to download a "3-part firmware" (like MB4.zip, 2nd google result) and repartition+flash it with Odin.
If you want to stay on 2.x you could try flashing, again with Odin, a custom kernel which should be enough to bring recovery back...
Thank you, but i have fixed it.
