Hi,
I was looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957539 and in the instructions it says, before "flash rom" to "flash vendor".
What does it mean? I've never seen this in other rom's threads.
For posterity
I think it's flashing the vendor.img file in leak rom (easy findable, I can't post links because I'm <10 posts), so: grab the original leak rom, flash it with fastboot and then flash the atrics rom with cwm.
Correct me if I'm wrong, thank you.

Administrators, can you close this thread? The OP did not properly do his homework on the entire history of the A4G and created a spam thread just to get his 10 posts.
FYI to OP, Vendor/webtop/osh are all the same thing as far as partitions go since the initial release of this device 3 yrs ago.

Are you ok?
Stop offending me, stop accusing me to "spam". I have so many intentions to spam that I created this account 2 years ago... so why spamming now? For accessing forum sections dedicated to developers only and piss off other people with my noob questions?
I'm answering myself because I'll leave some guides for people who eventually will have the same doubts, and it's not clear for a amateur user to understand this gap, and I changed roms a dozen times. I'm idiot? Maybe, not your business.
So, next time try be kind, I'll appreciate.
Btw: the rom in my MB860 gives some trouble (stuttering\tearing and processes shutdowns) that MIUI and epinter's CM10 don't give. In fact that was written also in the OP post of AtrICS thread, it's possible it happens.

I managed to root my phone and install Rom manager from the marketplace so I could flash a stock 2.2 rom (instead of the 02 one I have)
But I cannot get it to boot into clockwork recovery or install from SD card.
any ideas?

Its 02, I installed Rom manager (previously clockwork mod). I successfully flashed the recovery but when It reboots it doesn't boot into recovery.
Flash THIS Recovery
Or THIS Recovery
And both will let you into recovery but you can only flash a custom rom with those recoverys
If you want to flash THE OFFICIAL 2.2 Then Flash THIS Recovery
Hope that helps
Edit: Ah posted at the same time.. will have a look and report back shortly, thanks!
EDIT 2: Ok, had a look.... how to I flash recovery's? ROM manager has the option to use different recovery greyed out? And there no way im doing that fastboot, takes far too long!
So have you figured out that ROM Manager doesn't work for the Streak?
Hmm... QDL and Fastboot seem to take a little less time than say AT&T OTA
Start Here:
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
What I missed ? Everytimes , I tries to flash a new rom on my Dell Streak , with Rom Manager , when I finished the step " reboot and install " , then my Streak simply rebooted and then no further action taken .
To everyone trying to use ROM Manager on the Streak:
STOP!
ROM Manager has never worked on the Streak and continuing to try to use it will only result in headaches on your part. The only accepted method of flashing a ROM on a Streak is through the Recovery. Speaking of the Recovery, it should NOT be Clockworkmod, because that recovery doesn't work properly with the Streak. Streakmod is the recommended recovery.
Now, had you ROM Manager guys actually searched the forums you would have found this out rather than posting yet another thread on how the app doesn't work.
Next time use the damn search engine on this site. It's not there just to make the site look pretty, and in using it you will in fact be following the site's rules.
Any questions?

you all over the place with this. You are my hero right now.
Sadly the folks will still post without searching.
Quite honestly, I have little enough patience for people as it is. People who seek the "quick fix" and are unwilling to put the time in to learn about their devices are annoying enough. Lazy ass people who can't be bothered to spend the time looking for answers to their questions before posting are a plague. Both deserve to be taken to the back of the tool shed and flogged.
I believe from now on, in addition to calling out people for being total idiots, I'll be reporting the posts as well. Because this bulls**t has got to stop. Searching before posting is the number one site rule on XDA, and it's about damn time it gets enforced. The only way for it to BE enforced is by letting the moderators know about it.

Post #2 is from the moderator, too often these threads get shuffled around and are not closed and/or deleted.
Yeah, I know Lufc moved the thread. He's pretty proactive on that. But unless people report the thread as violating the site rules he really can't do much about it.
I've been pretty lenient in just posting reminders to get the noobs and lazy people among us to actually use the tools that are present on this site. But my patience for that crap is at an end. If someone can't be bothered to use the search tools on this site, expect to be called out on it and the post reported.
EDIT: Looking back at the thread, can someone explain to me just how in the heck you can come upon a thread that details the problem you are having and not at least read the thread before you post to it?
I'm starting to notice a trend. I think that as our phones get older more people are ditching them, selling them, and the new owners are stumbling on XDA.
I know I was a total Android noob when I got my Streak, but had been on XDA for a while, so was well aware of the search function. Not to mention reading the stickies.
I think this is gonna keep getting worse!

I almost cried. Maybe next time I'll post on a forum where someone isn't on their period.
Hi all, oddly, I can't seem to find a clear answer to this from searching and Google. Does the SII have a separate recovery partition? I see chainfire has created a customised CWM to be deployed with his kernel, but I was puzzled by this as coming from a HTC world, I was wondering how CWM backups up the ROM partitions (or more importantly restores them) if they are in use.
TIA

no one?
I would also like to know how this works. Coming from 3 previous HTC phones and buying a SGS2 tomorrow, I wouldn't mind finding out how to root, nandroid and flash correctly.
I know all about Odin already.
Is this the only way?

Then why not read the guides in the development section? step by step guides.
There is also a search function in these forums.
Not being rude, but you are asking to be spoonfed when there are good, well written proven guides to all your questions.

I take it this was a reply to MrBadgerMilk's question? I've looked at the FAQ in the dev section and used search and can't see the answer to the question of whether the SII has a separate recovery partition. Hopefully the people that know (and some will) could just post a yes or no.
Right... http://bit.ly/SGS2answer
Now that's over, no, the SGS2 doesn't have a separate recovery partition. The zImage contains the recovery binary, and another init script is run, when recovery is to be entered, from the standard zImage.
Now that was the answer I was looking for. Thank you very much.
EDIT: Is the video some Samsung secret initiation ritual thing?

Tbh, I think i came off as a bit of a plank. If you keep an eye out for chainfire 'Root/kernel' threads in the dev section you can go far wrong.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399for root/clockwork mod recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 for step by step guide on how to flash via Odin, and the official roms. I've had the sgs2 for a month now, and after trying the (now deceased) angelom rom, and litening rom, I went back to stock KE7. and tbh, it feels just as quick as the 'customs'. The only thing I would advise is to remove(or freeze) the samsung bloat by using titanium backup. There is another thread somewhere with a list of things you can remove without affecting functionality.

Lol...that's what I was thinking....but my opinion changed when you posted this.
So my ignorance is showing. :-/ Enlighten me?
Don't have the requisite 10 posts yet to post this in dev thread so I guess I have to put it here.
Just installed the Energy Rom released March 10th.
My Wifi isn't working. According to the Dev thread, this means I need a new kernel. Somebody in the thread thinks fondly of the faux kernel so I guess I am looking for that one. Could use a clue as to where to find it.
Aside from no Wifi, love the Energy Rom.
all you had to do was read The READ ME FIRST section. stickied on top, or do a simple search. it is un-necessary to create an entire new thread even here..
here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359951
Figured it out!
The thread where I found the kernels was called:
[Kernel]Amaze[2.6.35.13](v009)OC~1.73/JRCU/UV/CIFS+UTF-8/Power Saving[Mar-13]
You have to look carefully but there's a site for downloading them mentioned somewhere in the first 3 entries. 2nd one, I think.
Didn't work the first time. Error made me think /system might still be read only so I booted into my custom recovery and used "Fix Permissions". That seems to have done the trick!
Freaken HTC/T-Mobile. :-|
My Motorola Xoom wasn't anywhere near this difficult to get it unlocked, rooted and a custom ROM and kernel installed. Even was able to put ICS on it. ;-)

Hello
Sorry to post my thread here, but I don't have 10 posts to put it in dev section
I have a problem with Clockworkmod on my TF201. I had ViperMOD on my transformer prime. I have a problem with camera, and I thought it was a firmware related problem as read in another forum.
So I've put back the stock firmware from ASUS (which boots correclty), forgetting that clockworkmod will be broken afterwards...
Now I have an unrooted tablet with a recovery image which won't boot (I have a big bugdroid with red cross on the chest :'().
How can I reinstall either the original recovery image or the the clockworkmod one ? fastboot won't work, rom manager neither.
I have seen that there is a "Android OTA recovery" check when I boot up with the volume down button, but I don't have found information on how to exploit this feature,
I have tried WGS solution, which is useless as I can't access fastboot...
Any idea on how to restore it ? Do I missed a thread here ?
Thanks in advance.

And for future reference, since what you're basically doing is asking for help, this belong in the Q and A section, not general and certainly not dev.
EDIT:
Actually, you can trying rooting again using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706588
If it works, then download goomanager from the play store and have it install TWRP. That might fix your recovery.

I know people will argue with me, but I recommend using TWRP and not using CWM. I've read a lot of threads in the dev section, and some people have weird issues flashing certain roms (latest Androwook for example) with CWM. I don't know why, but so far I haven't seen issues with TWRP.

Stop using rom manager! There's a very old sticky on this very subject a few posts above this one!
If you follow the install instructions in the OP of Render's thread, you'll be able to install the new recovery without issues. Read through the multiple pages if you seek other questions; that thread is heavily interactive and helpful, so it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to read through a few pages before you proceed.
But please stop using rom manager on the i777.

Well, you used ROM Manager, which has a sticky about it in this subforums. You need to install the Cyanogenmod 10.2 Nightly to get version 6.0.4.5 ( http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=i777 ), then flash his ROM and Kernel.

Ok, thank you for pointing me in the right direction, but I have a new question. How do I install a custom rom (in this case cyanogen 10.2) without a custom recovery installed? It seems like a chicken and the egg situation to me. I need to install a custom rom to get a custom recovery, but I have no custom recovery installed to install the custom rom.. to get the custom recovery. I do have the android sdk installed and mobile odin pro, but I haven't found any stickied threads that show how to use them to do this. I'd appreciate it if you or anyone else could explain a bit more thoroughly or link me to the proper threads. I've tried searching but haven't found any clear answers.
I also think the AOKP ROM is more appropriate for me than Cyanogen, but I still face the same problem in that I don't know *how* to install it without a custom recovery, which I can't get without installing a custom rom..
Edit: I found this link: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i777

Why you refuse to search in these forms for the CORRECT way of getting exactly what you want is very unfortunate. If you read the OP of the CM thread, instead following external advice, you'll be in a much better situation.

Please let us know if you got this to work for you. I'm not sure what this installs on your phone, but on the SGH–I777, recovery is compiled into the kernel. Normally you would install a custom kernel that is compatible with your operating system. You can use mobile open Pro to do that. If you haven't got this done yet, let us know. We can help.

I *did* search, nothing relevant comes up. Why don't you, instead of telling me that I'm searching wrong, tell me what I should've been searching for. Maybe, before you go and tell someone they're not searching correctly and tell them to read a thread, you could go and actually read that thread yourself. The very first part of the instructions say this:
Make sure you are on CWM 6.0.4.4+ before flashing ROM! Thanks to @mr-cook you can now download and flash just the recovery/kernel!

That is what I am trying to figure out how to do, and the instructions in the "external advice" that I found in this case is the correct thing to do to get CWM. I found that by searching. If you want to send me on a wild goose chase instead of actually telling me or linking me to relevant threads, go ahead, but don't act like you're actually being helpful. *Nothing* in the CM thread shows me how to first install CWM. Not a damn thing.
Edit: I managed to get CWM installed by flashing the AJK 4.9 noswap kernel using mobile odin pro. I thought I messed it up because it was taking a long time for the boot animation to finish, but it worked.
