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.

None it has worked great. The new rom does not use gallery so I lost a few pics off the phone.No biggie google had them on my google page so all was good.
ive seen you in like 3 different forums lol
Yes I make my rounds on all the good forums
. i read somewhere that someone had problems with phone calls
Most folks if they follow directions will have no troubles.I hate to say it but a lot of troubles are caused by ourselves by adding unnecessary apps.(imho)
by the way my CWM-Based Recovery is v5.0.2.7 is that the one i should have after using odin?
Yes That is the version that I have
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
Wiping & formatting are the same thing
Personally I would do what the dev says to do.They know better then I

I hope this helps

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

[Shabbypenguin]

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 this

Download Start...

<2> StartThread Detected : 0
<3> StartThread Detected : 0
<4> StartThread Detected : 0
<5> StartThread Detected : 0

<1> setup connection...
<1> odin mode.. check plcatform verification.
<1> START!!!
<1> check download environment.
<1> e - big partition size!!
<0> Destroy instant..
<0> Killed timer

Or it just goes forever the timer was at 2 1/2 hours before I decided to retry.

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:

Download Start...
<0> Create File...
<1> StartThread Detected : 1
<2> StartThread Detected : 0
<3> StartThread Detected : 0
<4> StartThread Detected : 0
<5> StartThread Detected : 0
<6> StartThread Detected : 0
<7> StartThread Detected : 0
<8> StartThread Detected : 0
<1> setup connection...
<1> odin mode.. check plcatform verification.
<1> VerifyPlatform:V0, P0,R0
<1> START!!!
<1> set download environment.
<1> big partition size!!
<1> recovery.img download..
<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!
