its a known problem when you flash it that way. You now have to flash your recovery thru fastboot.

Searched, but couldn't find an answer to this. I rooted and installed ROM Manager so I can do a nandroid backup before installing a custom ROM. However, when I press back up in ROM Manager, it restarts and hangs/freezes on the HTC MyTouch 4g splash screen.
What am I doing wrong?
Have you flashed CWM recovery after installing Rom Manager. You must flash the recovery before you can backup/restore or install roms. I almost did that myself but luckily i read the thread concerning it again and flashed REcovery before trying to back up rom.
Yeah, I did that first and the problem remains. I just uninstalled and reinstalled ROM Manager and am about to try "backup current rom" again (unless I should reboot into recovery and back up from clockwork recovery?).
FWIW; Current recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2
anyone?
Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I just started getting exactly the same. Cant reboot manually into clockwork recovery or from Rom manager :/
If you have flashed a recovery beyond that supported by ROM manager, you will not be able to perform recovery functions from the app (i.e. backup). CW3 is required for CM7 ROMs, but will not be supported by ROM manager until the CM7 RC drops. You can still manually boot to recovery (I always Vol up when powering then select Recovery) and if you have CM7 nightly installed, it has a "reboot to recovery" option in the reboot menu.
You need CWM3 to use CM7.

Sometimes it is necessary to flash clockwork recovery more than once before it will actually stick. Also, occasionally it will freeze on the splashscreen after a backup, but a battery pull and turning out the phone should be fine.

Here's what's going on:
The Clockworkmod Recovery that you can download from the Market only supports up to CyanogenMod 6.x. For CM7, you need to install Clockworkmod Recovery 3.x, but that version isn't available on the Market yet.
What this means is that you need to find the image file for a CWR 3.x on these forums and manually install it through either a terminal emulator or fastboot. The post below explains how to do it:

If you flash CM7 using CWR 2.x, your phone won't boot. There's just no way around it.

Careful with the terminology there. ROM Manager, the app you download from the Market, is a GUI front-end to the CWM recovery image, but you can download and install CWM without using ROM Manager at all. Just because you have ROM Manager installed doesn't mean that CWM recovery is also successfully installed.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't imply that CW ROM Manager and CW Recovery are the same thing though...

You said "the Clockworkmod Recovery that you can download from the Market", and that kinda does. No biggie though.
Just an update for my problem, it turned out that clockwork recovery had corrupted for whatever reason and couldn't be reinstalled from rom manager. As I wanted to test Cm7 anyways I just ended up flashing clockwork recovery 3 manually through fastboot and its all gravy again

How to flash clockwork recovery from fastboot or fron clockwork recovery 2.51?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thanks, everyone. What happened with mine, I have no idea, but I randomly opened rom manager and was greeted with an update to the recovery. So I downloaded it and voila - I can now boot into recovery and do backups, etc...
when i boot the phone, bootloader - recovery , there i have clockwork 2.5.0.1.
when i choose reboot into recovery from rom manager, i have 2.5.0.7.
why i have 2 clockworkmod recovery ?

That is because ROM Manager downloads and stores a temp recovery on your sdcard which it loads when you reboot with it. When you reboot into recovery manually you're loading the recovery image that you flashed to your device with Unrevoked.
aha
so does it matter from what recovery i install a custom rom?

Say you accidently flash over your recovery.img (The system one, impossible unless you have S-OFF/do some exploit)... update.zip (Rom Manager one) to the rescue! And vice versa.
Most common use is if you have CWM 3.0.0.6 like me, and sometimes you need to use Amend scripts for radio, etc.
aha
but i do have s off
Ok I have no idea what happened but I can not get into recovery mode. Rom manager takes me straight to bootloader and selecting recovery in bootloader takes me back to bootloader...! I've tried reflashing recovery via clockwork but no go, and flashing old 2.X.X versions gives me an error...
Help?
ROM Manager seems to be the least reliable way to flash the recovery. Try flashing it through terminal emulator or better yet, if you have the engineering SPL, do it through fastboot.
If you don't know how though you could try a reinstall of rom manager and if your running a custom rom boot straight into recovery from there to see what happens

The thing is that is how I have always done it and how I did it with this phone originally but something got messed up somehow. Anyhow how do I flash that with Terminal? I have never done that before. Do you have a link to a totorial and a download for clock work that can be flashed that way?

First download CWM 3.0.0.6 from here and put the file in the root of your SD.
Then open terminal emulator and enter these commands:
Code:
$su
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Hey guys, I am new here and at first I have to say sorry for my bad english :S
However, here is my Problem:
I just made my Wildfire ( Froyo 2.2.1; HBOOT with .01 at end) S-OFF and rooted it manually with this *KLICK* Method.
The Clockworkmod Recovery, which is now on my phone, is Version 3.0.0.6...
And here is the Problem, I can not flash custom Roms based on 2.2.1, it only allow to flash Roms based on 2.3+ and I have no Idea how to update to a newer Version which allow it or to downgrade to an older Version which definitely allow it ...
Any Idea or Solution?

Get ROM manager
click Flash Recovery
wait
click Reboot into Recovery
If you want to use recovery 3.0 reboot the phone into HBOOT and select it from there.
If you want to use recovery 2.5 use rom manager.
or you can use fastboot to install
i`ve got the same problem and i still can't flash less than 2.3+

2nd post of this thread. Flash recovery from rom manager and reboot to recovery from the option in rom manager itself.
If u still face issues, then reboot to recovery and select "install zip from sdcard" and then select "choose zip from sdcard". Then choose the path sdcard/clockworkmod/download/ and enter the sub folders where you find 2.x recovery. Flash it first to get 2.x recovery on the fly. Then you can start the installation of 2.2 roms .

Thanks for the answers! I will try it tonight and report if it worked
edit: Worked just fine!! Thank you very much!
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
since I am facing the same problem.... where can I get the .img version of the .zip clockwork recovery??
thanx !
i figured out now !!! i was a little bit obsessed to flash openfire and some old roms but now i came back to cm7 ... and for gps to work i just reflashed radio
I cannot flash cwm recovery v4. with s-off unrevoke doesnot do so and installing it from hboot or recovery 2.5 does not work. any clues?
You have to rename the ZIP file (!) of cwm recovery 4 to "PC49IMG.zip" and than put it in the root of your sd card.
Start to HBOOT (S-OFF!) and click yes when it asks for update.
It should work this way...
this is will not work, signing lost by renameing. best way is get android sdk,when phone restart in fastboot mode, in pc go to cmd (cd to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools) or where ever you android_sdk installed. extract recovery.img to same folder, insert command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (recovery.img can be a any name.img)

Hey, I currently have a CWM based recovery on my phone. But the problem is that I can't change it, I want to get a newer version so I can flash CM 10.2 on my phone. I've tryed to install recoveries with Odin, ADB, Terminal Emulator and even those ROM Manager and GooManager. But each time I try to boot into recovery and see if it works, it still the same old CWM based one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm currently on a 4.3 rom, and when I try to flash it tells me that this rom isn't supported yet. :/
