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.

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

It seems I can't backup my ROM. When I click "Backup current ROM" my DX just reboots.
I had the same problem and how I fixed it was used koush bootrap and after that I was able to use ROM Manager. Thanks
Ok, so I got koush's bootstrapper, launched it and phone has reboooted and started to backup. I can't tell if it's using the clockwork or koush to backup though.

It uses clockwork to backup and koush to hijack the boot init process
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
To use the backup feature in ROM Manager: Go to koush's bootsrap 1st and bootstrap recovery, then go to ROM Manager and select "Backup Current ROM." It will then reboot in recovery and start the backup process.
Couple things. Koush = Koushik Dutta, Developer of Clockworkmod Recovery, Rom Manager, and DX/D2 BootStrapper.
If you try to only use Rom Manager it WILL ONLY REBOOT. That's because you have to use the BootStrapper to "hijack" the boot. It creates "/data/.recovery_mode" and prevents "/system" from mounting and running on reboot. Only then should it go into recovery when you reboot. After you are done, and are rebooted back in to the GUI, the BootStrapper app looks for "/data/.recovery_mode" and deletes it, if it exists. That way when you turn off or reboot the phone, you don't go back into recovery every time. This is also why you have to Bootstrap Recovery every time you want to do something with the Clockworkmod Recovery, e.i. nandroid, install new ROM, or restore a backup.
Will bootstrap work for Motorola Bravo?
Used Superoneclick to root the device and downloaded ClockworkMod...I get the reboot at Backup current rom, too. I see that I need to install Bootstrapper but wonder if it'll work for Bravo.
Koush might be great...
But theres something a little devious about the fact that i already paid for his ROM Manager which has an option to backup, but doesnt actually back anything up, until you pay more money for a bootstrap utility to accompany the cwm app you already paid for!!
that's a li'l shady in my opinion!

It's not shady, it's not the developers fault, the locked bootloader forces a hijack process hat the boostrap application puts in place. There's plenty of places that you can get the boostrap app for free; also, I believe that in the ROM Manager description it states that you must use one of the bootstrap applications.

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.
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.
