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

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
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?

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...
I rooted my Droid 2 with Z4Root. I have ROM Manager Premium. I was able to create backup of current ROM. If I try to install a ROM from the SD card with ClockworkMod phone reboots back to normal screen, and stays Android 2.2. If I manually reboot into recovery the ROM install shows signature error. Recovery screen shows 4 options, not the 8 I've seen displayed in instructions on the web.
I'm not sure exactly how ROM manager is supposed to do it, but I wouldn't bother using it just yet.
Get the Koush's Droid 2 Boostrapper. Install it.
Open the program and hit Bootstrap recovery, tell superuser yes, then wait for the success message. After that, click on reboot recovery, and you should boot into ClockworkMod, where you can install a different ROM.
Hi,
Installed CM Nightlies and now wanted to install pre 2.3 roms.
When I select the zip from CWM I'm getting and error saying there is a scripting error and that edify is not supported from 1.5 etc .... hopefully its a common error.
I tried reflashing 3.2.0.0 recovery but didnt help.
Is there an easy solution for this? As I cannot installed any ROM.
You need Clockworkmod 2.5 for this. So you can either change your main clockworkmod Recovery, or, you can use ROM Manager App from within CM7 ROM. Open ROM Manager, then select "Install CLockworkmod Recovery", then select "Reboot into Recovery" from within the ROM Manager App. This will take you to Clockworkmod 2.5, and you can install Sense based ROMs normally.
Or, if you wish to replace your "main" Clockworkmod 3.x with 2.5.0.7 (Not from within ROM Manager), the Recovery.img file can be found here:

Ah ..... easy solution then....
So my quesiton is originally I was able to install roms with 3.x Recovery and now I can't, how come this has happened?
I take it that going back to 2.5.0.7 I'll be stuck with the off-line charging bug to?
Thanks for the great help!
This is because Sense ROMs (and Radios) use an older scripting technique (called Amend, which is no longer supported in Clockworkmod 3.x). All the new ROMs like CM have moved to the newer scripting technique called Edify.
And Yes, any version below 3.1.0.2, and you will be stuck with offline charging bug, Which is why it is probably better to install this via Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 using ROM Manager. This way, you wont get the offline charging bug, and you keep to get both Clockworkmods, 2.x and 3.x
Hi
I am currently running the latest CM 7 nightly build. However, I have issues with GPS which doesn't find any satellites.
In order to re-flash the radio (which I have tried previously), I need to use ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.x. Currently I have 3.2.0.0.
I have previously used ROM Manager to do this, but now when I install 2.5.0.7 through ROM manager and select Reboot to recovery it simply reboots into 3.2.0.0.
I have tried reinstalling ROM Manager from Android Market after complete uninstall. But the same things keeps happening.
Any suggestions?

Is a small "bump" allowed...?
I haven't found a solution yet. I have even played around with different ROMs without success. Is it a bug in ROM Manager?
Do I have to first upgrade CWM to 5.0.0.2 and then afterwards try to use ROM Manager to hopefully reboot into CWM 2.5.0.7 ?
Flash this ZIP in your existing CWM3/4/5 setup. Then you can get temporary 2.5.0.7 without touching the ROM Manager app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
(It's the same temp 2.5.0.7 which ROM Manager downloads.)
Thanks a ton!
I just realised that this was even written with small text in The Complete Wildfire index, right next to the links to the radio. But somehow I missed that.
Really glad that you gave me a fail-safe method which doesn't require Rom Manager.
Radio didn't flash with CWM - used Android Flasher
Although I got a working CWM 2.5.0.7 with the above-mentioned method, I couldn't properly flash the radio.
I got error message "no space left on device", must likely due to custom partition sizes.
I found out that I could use the Windows app Android Flasher to flash the radio. And now my GPS works
