I have downloaded both of these? The only difference I see is rom manager allows you to download roms, backup, restore, etc, from within the android OS.
Is that the only difference and they are essentially the same thing?
You need the bootstrap recovery to boot into Koush's recovery on the DX. You can't get there from the Rom Manager alone. You may be able to boot into Koush's recovery from Rom Manager if you have the bootstrap recovery installed, but you definitely need the bootstrap recover installed.

All I use is Koush's DroidX recovery NEVER had a issue.To me a ROM Manager is a duplication of efforts to a point.
Koush's tool is a must have ....
On my X, if I want to use Rom Manager to backup, restore, install a new Rom, I need to use the DroidX Bootstrap to apply the bootstrap, then Rom Manager can do it's thing

So I accidently flashed CW Recovery before I used bootstrap and now I can't boot into CW Recovery or create a backup. Any ideas?
Ive searched all over the place, Ive found some threads that describe what each do, but I guess Im just trying to understand the whole picture. I have the Bootstrap program on my phone, I also have Rom Manager (Im rooted and have SuperUser also.)
I guess where Im confused at is what to do with each of them.
On other phones Ive just went through Rom Manager, Flashed CW Recovery, created a backup then I was up and running.
Do I need to do this before running bootstrap, do I run bootstrap first?
Sorry for the rookie question, I guess this boot strap thing has me confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated
You have to use the bootstrap to get into clockwork recovery, run the first option in bootstrap, it should say "success" then use rom manager or the reboot recovery option. You need to do the bootstrap option every time you want to go to custom recovery.

So is it bad I flashed the CW recovery before using bootstrap? If so how the heck do I fix it, lol
I flashed CW recovery before I hit bootstrap. Shows I have the current Recovery Image
If I hit "reboot into recovery" through Rom manager it doesnt do anything. If I hit "bootstrap recovery" through droid x bootstrapper it says success, but when i hit reboot recovery it doesnt do anything either...
power+home button on power up just brings me to stock recovery screen..
im lost
Try running the first option in bootstrapper again, same with reflashing clockwork... rom manager can boot to recovery.

Would it have anything to do with me having the official 2.3.15 update already on my phone? Its rooted of course but even when I click S.U it opens up but its just a blank black screen and says S.U permissions at the top

something is wrong with your root. try to re-root your phone the first time you run bootstrapper and rom manager you need to give them permission and it looks like you haven't yet so they can't work right. redo your root and it should solve your issues. also i find i need to bootstrap recovery before each time i try to use rom manager. kinda a pain i use recovery from bootstrap more often as its the same thing.
So even though Im rooted with the stock 2.2 I need to re-root it? Like just download a one-click-root and do it all over?
Should I factory reset before I do this?
The thing is I got the phone from a friend and it already had S.U on it, I just dont know what program he used to root it and what not...neither does he.

I re-did the root with that and now it lets me boot into CW recovery! Your the man! Do you have paypal by any chance =) I'll gladly shoot you a tip!
I am rooted.
Wondering what would happen if I install the clockwork mod and boot into recovery through ROM manager.
Will it work ?
I think you need to do the same thing as the droid x with the bootstrap? Not sure

The Droid 2 bootstrap recovery in the Market works! I just paid my $2.00 in the Market, downloaded, and installed the app. I could then boot into recovery. Just did my first nandroid backup for the Pro!

I will go ahead and do this once a chef releases a Custom ROM.
In ROM Manager, when I click install clockworkmod I get 3 options: Milestone, Droid X and Droid 2. Does the Droid 2 clockworkmod work with the Milestone 2? I haven't tried because I dont want to screw up my system.

Again, rom manager doesn't work with M2.
Take Droid2 bootstrapper to reboot in recovery.
Maybe you should search on forum before asking ...

Umm...searching "ROM Manager" only brings up some custom rom discussions.
I am talking about clockworkmod recovery!
Can i use the Droid 2 option to flash M2 recovery!!! is my question.
to have clockworkmod recovery use droid2 bootstrapper.
rom manager DON'T WORK ON M2
I could use rom manager to make backups AFTER I installed droid 2 bootstrapper
what for, with droid2 bootstrapper you boot in recovery and you make your backup...
I don't understand your use of rom manager
Since there's no milestone rom on rom manager it's not much use, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't work on milestone 2.
Really, don´t work in Milestone 2.
It works
I just installed it today on My Moto A953 !
You should follow this procedure:
1. Get Root access to your phone, if you have not done already ( I used z4root.1.3.0 - currently not available on the Market, so Google it )
2. Install, "Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap" from the market
3. Bootstrap your phone, (and may be check to see if recovery is working)
4. Install "ROM Manager" from the market.
5. Flash CWM Recovery as "Droid 2"
And thats it..
But, sadly we don't have much Custom ROMs available... at least not yet!
Hi, i have a milestone 2 with android 2.2.1, can i install this app
and change my recovery? it's safe? thanks i'm very rookie in
milestone 2 stuff!! sorry for my english!
If you have rooted already, you already lost your warranty.
And if you have not rooted yet- get yourself root access before you consider installing rom manager.
I have rooted and installed cwm in my A953; if that helps!

Yes i rooted my phone! lol jeje i'm going to try to install CWM! thanks!!
Milestone 2:
install and launch 'Droid 2 bootstrap'
install the bootstrap via hit 'Bootstrap Recovery' button;
then later anytime you want to go into ClockworkMod recovery,
launch the 'Droid 2 bootstrap' and hit 'reboot recovery' or launch rom manager and hit 'reboot recovery'
What's the best way to create a full backup before flashing a rom? I have clockwork recovery installed and Droid x bootstrap. I flashed the clockwork recovery but it wont reboot into the recovery or create a backup of my current rom.

On Gingerbread: I ran into a similar issue. In order for it to boot into bootstrap recovery for me I had to install Droid 2 Bootstrap recovery and bootstrap with that one for it to boot properly. I had issues with Clockworks recovery from Clockword mod and Droid X bootstrapper. Try Droid 2 Bootstrapper and let us know if that works.
I'm not sure what you're using to make a backup but here's a way that should work for you. Using Droid x bootstrapper, click bootstrap recovery and then click reboot recovery. If you're on the GB leak disable USB debugging and it will work. Then when in CWM, use the up/down volume keys to navigate to backup and restore, and press the camera button to select it. If you need to go back you can press the power button or back key. After selecting backup and restore, select the first option and it will backup everything on your phone. It will take about five minutes or more, just be patient. When its done you can flash a rom or reboot
I am on the regular Verizon rom with the latest update. The phone wont boot into the recovery either through bootstrap or clockwork GUI.

What buttons are you using to boot into recovery? It should be just power and volume down

You can only make a backup by getting into cwm. It sounds like you are still getting into stock recovery. Follow the instructions by jmoney above and you should be good. There is a way to boot into cwm from a powered off state. Just search the forums if you feel like going that route.

Thanks for the help guys i got it working. something was fubar with the installs, so i wiped the cache and wiped the application data on bootstrapper and clockword and reinstalled. worked like a charm.

i rooted my droidx and i got rom manager but when i hit boot into recovery it doesnt go into the rom manger recovery. am i missing something?
Did you install and run Droid 2 Bootstrap?
yes i did.... i rooted my TB and didnt have this problem
Run D2 bootstrap, click bootstrap, then click reboot recovery. Make sure you've clicked flash recovery in CWM first.
