[Q] Issues with clockwork mod and bootstrap

I'm trying to make a nandroid backup so I can mess with my droid 2 but having issues...
The phone is rooted.
Have Installed: Rom Manager and Droid 2 Bootstrapper - both 'green' in superuser permissions.
When I try to boot into recovery mode using Rom Manager (trying to make a backup) or the D2 Bootstrapper the phone just boots up as it normally would. I can get into the default recovery mode by using the 'X' and 'PWR' key combo but that's not what I need.
Have tried renaming these files as suggested here in another thread and reflashing clockworkmod but that didn't work.
EDIT: can't link so these are the two files:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
Any ideas?

Meh... nvm - I figured it out.

Help!
Hey, my friend has the SAME EXACT issue. what did you do to fix it?
Everyone says to reinstall clockwork, but that doesn't fix it.

I've never used ROM manager because koush's D2 bootstrap does everything you need. But if you don't get clockwork from the application make sure you are properly rooted and you press "bootstrap recovery" and get the "success" box before you press "reboot recovery".

My friend is using Rom manager. He installed CWM via rom manager. Do you think it is safe for him to get "Koush's D2 bootstrap" and re-install CWM that way? Will that break anything?
PS: I use Amon_Ra's recovery on my nexus one. I do all my installations via ADB but he is not comfortable using ADB. I'm just trying to get him into a stable custom recovery because ever since he installed clockwork (which is not working) he says the phone is really slow.

I don't know installing koush's bootstrap will do but the D2 has to be bootstrapped because it's locked down and normal Clockwork Mod won't work because of it. If it doesn't work and his phone isn't working he can just SBF with the 2.3.2 version (he probably has the update already) he can do it in linux or windows (linux is easier) and it will put him back to stock so he can install koush's bootstrap from the market after re-rooting it.
If he want's he can back up his contacts and applications with google and data with titanium backup.
You can PM me if you have any questions about the process.
Here's my tool for flashing sbf's in linux on any computer. It's got a lot of useful info about flashing and problems at the bottom read it even if you flash in windows.

Rom Manager wont boot into Clockworkmod to Flash Roms

I've been trying to help a friend flash ROM's to his X. We've installed the paid Bootstrap and Rom Manager. We then utilized the bootstrap utility, and flashed clockworkmod recovery. We then go to the Download rom section of Rom Manager and choose FlyX, it downloads, we then check backup current rom, and wipe data, continue. The phone attempts to boot into clockworkmod but wont. It does the update package part, fails, and then reboots normally. I should also note that when I attempt to boot into clockworkmod recovery via bootstrap it is successful. Could I find the downloaded Rom via the menu in clockworkmod and install it that way? Is there a step in installing Clockworkmod that I'm missing? I've been checking the forums but all I can find for solutions is people saying to install bootstrap again. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both programs twice and nothing has changed. Thanks so much in advance for the help.

open rom manager and click on flash clockworkmod recovery.
everything you download with rom manager goes into the /clockworkmod/download folder on your mem card.

Tried that.didn't work.

You need to open up Bootstrap and select the top option... then you can proceed to Rom Manager.......Rom Manager cannot flash CW onto the DroidX that why we need Koush's Droidx Bootstrapper. Give that a try also Note i hope that you have booted into CW and made a Nandroid backup of your friends current phone state.. If that still doesnt work for you.. download the ROM off a forum and do it manually.

YOu need to download Koush bootstrap http://koush.tandtgaming.com//motorola/droidx/DroidXBootstrap.apk

So after I gain root, I open Bootstrap? I then hit the "Bootstrap Recovery" button? Then I open Rom Manager and click "flash the latest ClockworkMod Recovery", which I beleive is 2.5.0.7? Do I hit the "Reboot Recovery" button in Bootstrap after I flash the latest CW recovery?

that will get you into clockwork mod yes.

This helped, thanks everyone

Having the same problem. Im trying this hopefully I can get clockwork recovery to work

I have tried this several times, even re-installing rom manager and boot strap and everytime i reboot it will not go into the rom manager recovery mode. any ideas/and or advice will help
P.S. I have wiped several times and i am running .596

[Q] What to do next

system version:2.3.340.mb810.verizon.en.us
android version:2.2.1
baseband:bp_c_01.09.07p
kernal:2.6.32.9-g55626e1
eri:5
prl:52105
I rooted my phone using z4root
My question is what do i do next? Ive been reading the wiki page and it says to deodex my phone. I also have a rooted evo and the roms i use on that phone are already deodexed and i use clock work recovery.
Does the clockwork recovery work with the X? I really just need to know what to do next and what rom is recommended.

Clockwork works with the X. You can get it here: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010_08_01_archive.html the bootstrap comes with CWM.
I've been using fission rom for awhile now and I like it. I also used Apex and Rubix and didn't have any big complaints. Installing a rom will deodex for you.

thanks for the info.

ok just to double check this is what im gonna do.
1. download and apply the bootstrap that was provide with the link above.
2. download the fission rom manager and use that for rom and theme.
also does fission rom manager offer a nandroid backup or will i have to use clockworks rom manager for that?

The application "Rom manager" is just a way of managing clockworkmod. FRM also manages clockworkmod. Either way you can hold down the back button while booting and use clockworkmod manually. Both apps use clockworkmod to do nandroid backups, and install roms/themes/etc.

[Q] cant install recovery

how do i install clockwork recovery?? i can't install it using rom manager and havent been able to update my phone

does it give you an error in rom manager? what is your current recovery? does rom manager have superuser privilege in superuser?

Are you trying to restore a backup using ROM Manager? If you rooted your phone using unrEVOked it automatically installs Clockwork Mod recovery version 2.6.0.1. This is the recovery program you may have used to make your first backup. If you've recently updated ROM Manager beyond 2.6.0.1 and flashed a recovery you will not be able to restore a backup initially made with CWM recovery 2.6.0.1. The article below explains it all. You may need to re-flash CWM recovery 2.6.0.1 again and try and restore the backup manually booting up through recovery and not through ROM Manager. ROM Manager has been causing problems for some people. This version is found at the bottom of Koush's article. I hope this helps.

CWM 3.0.2.8...

Hi to all...
Sorry I'm a noob but I can't find a way to flash version 3.0.2.8 or 3.2.0.0 or 3.2.0.1... Is there a how to somewhere... I've been looking for quite a while but, there are so many threads out there it's just impossible to find an answer...
Thanks in advance!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003723
Here is the right thread.Its better to prefer 3.0.2.8 cause for 3.2.0.0. have reported some issues.

Great, thanks

The .8 version is an ext4 ver. to my knowledge, and it's no compatible with regular ext3 roms, again to my understanding.

Thanks for the info!!
I flashed the version 3.0.2.8 and everything went well... But, in Rom Manager, it says I'm on version 3.0.2.5... Is there anything I need to do to be on 3.0.2.8?
Thanks-

ROM Manager can only recognize CWM recovery till 3.0.2.6.
So even if you have 3.0.2.8, that number wont actually show up in ROM Manager.
To check if you have 3.0.2.8, make sure it says that in the actual recovery, and not in ROM Manager.
The reason for this is because 3.0.2.8 isnt officially released to the DHD by cwm themselves. This doesnt mean that its not built for the DHD, it just means its not their official release, which is why ROM Manager can only recognise till 3.0.2.6.
For a list of official CWM recoveries, CLICK HERE (the DHD is named as 'ace' in the list).
Here the latest release is 3.0.2.6

[FIX] ROM Manager for newer ClockworkMod Recovery versions!

What is a reason to use a Rom Manager?
You can flash new rom by using recovery...

especially beacuse ROM Manager has sometimes problems with proper wiping cache.
And CWM shows version number properly

ROM manager is a GUI for clockwork, so clockwork is doing the wipe even if initiated from ROM manager therefore problems should be common! saying that I tried MOD][DesireHD][RECOVERY][21-Jun-2011] Clockwork 4.0.0.5.z110621 which wouldn't play nicely with ROM manager at all

I've read many times about troubles with wiping cache in ROM Manager (on this forum too). I've experienced this problem too, so believe me- it is difference between using CWM directly and by ROM Manager.
