Hi everybody. It's a known fact that people brick their devices by incorrectly using rom manager. But rom manager isn't completely dangerous, it is usable if it's used the right way, this guide will show you how to use rom manager without bricking you phone.
Reported that it does not work with stock kernel.
I am not responsible for any damage done to your phone, if you hardbricked it you have done something wrong. Follow step 1 CAREFULLY!
0. (Skip if you already installed clockworkmod recovery)
First of all, you will have to install clockworkmod recovery on your phone. This is where some people brick their phones, the trick is to not use rom manager to do it. Instead use this clockworkmod found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650 flashing instructions are in the thread, read it carefully. When you're done flashing clockworkmod recovery or if you already have clockworkmod recovery, proceed to step 1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1.
Download and install rom manager from Google Play. Now, what you're going to do is to select Flash Clockworkmod Recovery then a window saying confirm phone model pops up and should look like this:
If you're seeing other phone models than GT-S5660, don't proceed!!! You will hardbrick your phone!!!

Select ClockworkMod 3.x+

You're done! Rom manager will say that you have an installed ClockworkMod on your phone, now you can do what rom manager does, flash zips from the app, reboot into recovery, restore nandroid and more!

Will not work on GT-S5660M and the other models, GT-S5660 only.
Please do not reply with "thanks", hit the thanks button instead. That way you can show your appreciation without cluttering the thread
Great.
Sure it wont brick?!
Phiex px recovery supportted?!, as this is modified clockworkmod but recovery is the same.
Both rfs and ext4 and ext4 only versions supported?!
Sorry, I have questions, wanna be sure..
But looks like rom manager got updated with more device support

On the screenshots I actually used px recovery, but I did this with normal cwm a long time ago, so yeah, ext4 and rfs support, as long as a recovery is cwm based it should work.
Also, no it won't brick, I've been using this since i built up courage to touch rom manager. But first now I wanted to share it.
How about option for download ROM..
I have broken my phone, 3 months ago when I Used that option..?/

you should have known, roms are specific for any device.
3 months ago gt-s5660 problably wasn't listed, so reading and paying attention to it could have prevented it.
works great iok, nice share,
reboot, install, backup, restore tested and confirmed working, haven't got the pro version (yet), need to search a bit.... if you know what I mean
Clear.. thanks for detail answer.
Rom manager is not showing my device. How can it be that this app is not recognizing my device? Is there a tweak behind it?
Make sure you have latest cwm installed
And maybe the M L V model is not supported(yet) ?!

Good thing you didn't proceed. Clear data from rom manager, uninstall, reinstall and see if it detects it. Do you have cwm installed?
is this possible with CWM 5.0.2.6 too?

Briefing
So, I've realised that in every single Gingerbread ROM thread, the developers are writing that to install their ROM you must be on Ginger or you have to flash whole XXJVK ROM via ODIN (about 150MB to download), if you're using any kind of Froyo now. When I was doing new version of my DebusROM, I've invited simple method to install the needed bootloaders and kernel with CWM.
How it works?
Method is simple. You just need to flash a small 8MB file via ODIN. It will flash Primary Bootloader, Secondary Bootloader (needed for Gingerbread) and the kernel with CWM recovery. The next step is to flash the ROM you want. It is much faster and light weight method than flashing the WHOLE JVK Gingerbread. It was tested by me in a few circumstances and It works!
Download
There is one version available, which is the most stable and safe one.
Gingerbread Starter with SpeedMOD K13E [DOWNLOAD]
ODIN version 1.7 [DOWNLOAD]
INSTALLATIONFirst of all, I'm not responsible for any black scenarios. This thing flashes bootloader, if it fails it means you have trouble. But don't worry it shouldn't
1. Download the right version from section above
2. Reboot your phone into Download mode
3. Connect your phone to computer
4. Run ODIN
5. Select Gingerbread_Starter_KERNEL_ODIN.tar.md5 as a PDA file in ODIN
6. Check the "Phone Bootloader Update" checkbox
7. Click Start
8. Wait until phone reboots and make it reboot into Recovery
9. Flash your Gingerbread ROM
10. Simple, isn't it?
Below, this is how should look ODIN before flash

If you're on MIUI i think you have the right bootloaders, but I'm not sure If no, just flash Gingerbread Starter and you'll have it done

You MUST check if Download Mode works or not, and if you can boot into recovery or not If Download mode works just flash bootloaders once again via ODIN, then flash ROM via Recovery. If recovery works, flash the ROM.

hahah whoops, prolly shoulda searched for this first
just made version 5.0 of my one click which now includes teh galaxy nexus, didnt know you were gunna go make one
edit: i like the idea of adding in efs backup/restore mind if i kang that idea from ya and incorporate it into future versions? also you should check out vers 5 i changed the code around a LOT. i got menus and super duper awesome stuff now. lot of people complained about their bootloader being unlocked already and so the script didnt work, so i made an option to install cwm and root, unlock the bootloader etc etc. its really well set up now a days too.. i also swapped out the drivers for a more universal set from samsung
So which one of your two versions should we use?

A huge numbers of points like:
- install ROM-s with stock kernel
- fixing permissions
- wiping cashe, dalvik cashe...
Now if I want to install some custom ROM, on my Xperia P, I have to copy one file by one into the right directory and change permissions on all of them taking into account the hierarchy cause I can finish in boot loop if not respecting that...
So I can't wait for Mr.Krypton :good: to make a CWM for Xperia P !
Hello,
If I have version 1, I can simply install version 2?

Hi friends..!! Basically,
you may wanted to
flash a custom kernel
on your Samsung Galaxy Y or other phone but don't have a PC to flash it via Odin; then by this method, you can flash it by CWM!
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY
KIND OF DAMAGES &
BRICKS. I can still help
you if you bricked your
phone
1.. Download the kernel
file to your SD Card. It
should be in *.zip or *.rar or *.7z extension.
2. Extract the file via
Root Explorer.
3. You'll get a "boot.img"
file after the extraction
is completed. This file IS the main kernel.
4. Now create a folder in your SD Card to be
shown as /clockworkmod/backup/*KERNEL NAME*. Replace ''KERNEL NAME'' to the name of the kernel you are flashing.
5. Move boot.img file you got after extraction to "/sdcard/
clockworkmod/backup/
NAME/*HERE*. (the folder you've created- in
step#4).
6. View the details of
that boot.img file. (long
tap on file>Details- on
root explorer).
7. Copy the MD SUM you
got in file details.
8. Now there, create a
file and name it as nandroid.md5 . Open
nandroid.md5 file you
have created in a TEXT
EDITOR and paste that
md5 sum you've
copied ..and save ur
nandroid.md5 file.
Now there will be 2 files
in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/NAME/*HERE*:
--BOOT.IMG
--NANDROID.MD5
make sure their is no
other file except these two (boot.img, nandroid.md5)
9. Boot in CWM recovery.
10. Mount/System.

ClockWorkMod Recovery
Finally No more the Gio users have to be with the old CWM ... Here I present with my evening work of a stable ClockWorkMod 6.0.4.5
Working List
EveryThing
How to Get it
Code:
[LIST="1"]
[*]Download the [URL="https://www.mediafire.com/file/btudgapycpcd3jn/6.0.4.6-gio.zip"]Zip Package[/URL]
[*]Put it on your SD card
[*]Boot To ClockWorkMod
[*]Select Install from SD card and select the Recovery [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46462108&postcount=2"]Zip Package[/URL]
*]Then yes and it will get install
[*]Go to Advanced option and Reboot Recovery
(If on CWM recovery), otherwise restart the system
[*]Check your recovery
[/LIST]
Code:
This Recovery will only support Ext4, Ext3 or Ext2 formatted Custom ROMs.
No RFS support has been included here.
So dont come with the issues when having any stock ROM or stock based RFS custom ROM installed.
The Device wont boot up

That's not true.
This dev is currently porting CWM based on KitKat for many msm7x27 devices (Gio included), and also shared a first CM11 release for one of them. Just wait and ask him about progress..

My gio bricked installing the tass- 6.0.4.5.zip recovery,during the install it sayd something about gio isnt rooted or so,i now it is rooted(root app from store)so i went on,then after rebooting the gio i cant get furder as SAMSUNG logo,no recovery anymore i only can get in downloadmode.
should it be possible to flash an older recovery with (virtualbox)ODIN?SOLVED i flashed an older 5 cwm with windows7 in virtualbox which worked out,but you need the right usb drivers installed...
Is it by the way possible to use HEIMDALL,is this support the samsung galaxy gio?
Thanks if you can give some advice or some documentation.

"Tass" is for Galaxy Mini. You installed the recovery for a wrong device.
@yajnab, the "Zip Package" in OP linked to Galaxy Mini CWM!
Please fix it to prevent people flashing wrong CWM to GIO.
Thanks!
