i have been reading about people saying that using rom manager will brick their phone. well i guess im done with that but before i put this new rom what problems have you had with yours ive seen you in like 3 different forums lol. i read somewhere that someone had problems with phone calls. by the way my CWM-Based Recovery is v5.0.2.7 is that the one i should have after using odin? and i keep seeing on forums people saying different things about the cache and delvik cache, some say to format it and others say to wipe it.
Idk if I am just having a brain fart but how am I suppose to open the Odin file? It's just a BIN? Unless I am suppose to be doing it from the phone? Just a little confused at the moment lol
its a tar file, stop extracting it ;)
How long does the Odin process take I have tried multiple times and I either get failures such as thisOr it just goes forever the timer was at 2 1/2 hours before I decided to retry.Download Start...

Hmm ok thanks so much for your help so far though got me past a lot of issues not to just get through this lol.
I have an odd problem. I am rooted (done long ago with one click root). I have installed the correct drivers and Odin sees my phone, but when I try to install CMR I get this:

<1> 1/1 Finished.
<1> reset pda..
<0> Started Timer
<1> Close serial port and wait until rebooting.
The phone reboots, but just goes into MetroPSC standard.
When the timer runs out, this pops up:
<1> PASS!!!
<0> Destroy instant..
<0> Killed timer
But nothing actually happens. The phone is just sitting there.
I have tried shutting it off and trying again, but I get the same result.
Tried getting into recovery mode, but it doesn't seem to be there.
I'm stumped. Any hints?
Ignore ME!
It helps when you press the down button + back + power, NOT up button + back + power!
Doh!
