Root [Odin] Clockworkmod Recovery - Not compatible with Rom Manager yet

Hello everyone . I've been following the forum for quite awhile, and everyone here has been very helpful. I finally decided to make an account. Lol. I can confirm that this method works, as I've just made a nandroid backup. I restored directly after backing up, to make sure there wasnt an md5 issue like ive run into on the wildfire s. everyone have a great day, and thank you to everyone on this site who contributes, no matter how small or big

Thanks so much, Suigintou! I just installed CWM onto my phone. Now I'll wait to hear about the ROM Manager working and wait for some good ROMs to come out. Feels good to have waited for the Admire to start really shining.

Did you start over, with the battery out, and go through the steps?

Hello, I'm new to this form but not new to modding or flashing droid phones. I can't get past the reboot. I get up to the step where you push start. It goes to "Close serial port and wait until rebooting." It reboots but just normal boot. I turned the phone off and tried starting with Back button + Vol dwn and power. Just normal reboot. What am I missing?

I did Vol up and it worked... Nvm. Thanks again to OP for posting this. Glad to see the Admire is making good progress. I've got 2 Ascend's and modding friends at work and others with CM7.2

Sp before I do this,. Is this a New rom for the samsung admire? How will this change my phone? Also will my phone still work with metro?

No this is just access to your system thru recovery in order to backup your current set up( Settings, contacts, apps, etc.) and to flash(install) new ROMS/Themes/Kernels as they are made. which we have a couple flashable themes thanks to Dwayne and A mixed Rom/Theme from MysteryEmotionz. Take a look around and READ carefully EVERYTHING before installing anything or asking a question.

Hope it helps.
