I have both of these on Apex 1.0.2. My problem is I can not get ROM Manager to boot into Recovery by its self when doing backup and restore and such. Also the reboot into recovery button under ROM Manager doesn't do it either. I've tried doing it with and without hitting the bootstrap recovery button first. Sometimes it boots with the green droid and the progress bar that starts and then a warning triangle comes up and the phone reboots as normal.

Which ROM manager? FRM? other ROM managers aren't made to work with the D2 and similar devices because the devices have to be bootstrapped. If you want to get into recovery it's best to stick with koush's bootstrap only as the others will mess up the way it's setup and reboot into recovery that way. It hasn't done me wrong yet and I've had my phone since September and I've flashed a little bit of everything and I've never used a ROM manger (D2 is my first android phone so no need) they may be fine for downloading but installing is always best done with koush's bootstrap.
ROM Manager from the market does not work with the Droid 2. You need to use Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap.
I have koush's bootstrapper and koush's rom manager. Not even bootstrapper works to boot recovery. When click on boot recovery nothing happens

have you pressed bootstrap recovery and received the "success" toast (notification)?
Yeah,everytime I press it it says it.
And when im on rom manager and I press reboot into recovery it will boot show me a progress bar with the little android guy on it, it will go like a quarter of the way. Show me a triangle with an exclamation point inside the boot again normally

Like I posted before I've never used a ROM manager other than Fission ROM manager so I would try and uninstall the ROM manager and re-bootstrap because I think having two recoveries on there will mess each other up especially because the ROM manager has not been made for the D2 which has a locked bootloader. You might even have to sbf to get rid of the install of the ROM manger recovery I'm not sure. Take it in steps though don't try to do it all at once.

Make sure you:
1) have rom manager and in it
2) have selected "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
3) that you also have "Droid X Bootstrapper" and have selected Bootstrap Recovery.
Then, once you've done all that follow Razorloves' direction. They are very easy.

1.open the Market app on your phone.
2.find Droid X Recovery Bootstrap and install it.

Cam here to ask a similar question so I might as well piggyback on here.
I have followed all the above instructions. After the phone reboots to install the new theme I get a Triangle with an exclamation mark inside and the android next to it and the install stops. Then the phone restarts and I have no black bar. Any suggestions?
Oh crap. Steven and I both failed. Lol. We forgot to tell you one important step. You have to be deodexed. Slipped my mind. Sorry about that. Easiest way to deodex is to go to www.928droid.com and use the droid x deodexeerr.

Sounds like you have to open bootstrapper app and click on Bootstrap Recovery. Then it will ask for super user permission. Allow. Then it should work

you always make a nandroid backup in clockwork recovery prior to installing a zip. that way you can just restore when ever you change your mind about havin it.
Clarify
So just to get things straight:
1. I download and install the .zip deodexer file from 928droid.com
2.Open Droid X Bootstrapper and select Bootstrap Recovery
3.Open Rom Manager, select flash clockworkmod recovery, install nandroid backup, click on Download Rom, click on Onix Concepts, click on Blackmodz Returns
That look all right? Is there a difference between Bootstrap Recovery and Clockwork Recovery? I have to do both?

bootstrap and clockwork recovery are refering to same thing.
you dont install nandroid backup. you perform a nandroid backup by booting into cw recovery and choose backup. that will make a nandroid backup on your mem card.
do you know how to install zip? just want to make sure you're doing step 1 right.
So do I have to use bootstrapper and rom manager or just one of them? And no,i don't know how to install a .zip file. Thanks for the help

Hey I'm going to root my brothers x later tonight using z4root and I was wondering if Rom manager would work on it I'm curious because I know the x and d2 has a fuse built in that will automatically brick it when trying to load a custom recovery so I'm just wondering if I should use Romm or get him to fork over 2$ for bootstrap recovery I do have experience rooting but just not newer droids
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Get bootstrap, as ROM Manager doesn't work the same... nor have they added that feature last I checked. Since the recovery cannot be permanently written, the bootstrap method is required.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
He can still install roms via choose zip from SD card right and do u have to flash bootstrap everytike u use it
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
When you use bootstrap, it will reboot your phone into Clockwork Recovery and you will be able to choose the options that Clockwork has always had, the only difference is that you do have to run bootstrap every time you want to use Clockwork Recovery. Install zip from SD is an option in Clockwork. You CAN run the bootstrap program, click the button to bootstrap but NOT the reboot button, then open ROM Manager and proceed as usual, but I prefer just doing all the work in Clockwork. Never use rom manager anymore.

Sweet so the set up is still the same I'm using clockwork on my hero and I don't have to flash it every time lol and in your opinion what's the best Rom yall have and what is the most stable overclock setting
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Overclocking is trial and error. My first Droid X only was stable up to 1.25Ghz, but replaced due to dead pixel. My new one is very stable at 1.45Ghz with ultra low voltage settings. For me, the best ROM out is Fission 2.1... I didn't like Moto Blur so I love the vanilla Android feel that I had on my Droid 1. It's mostly about personal tastes, honestly.

You have to have dx bootstrapper and rom mgr. I use rom mgr almost exclusively, as it is very, very easy. I advise getting it.

Rom Manager is completely optional. For some, it's simplicity makes it a must have, but I almost never use it anymore. It wasn't available when I first got my D1, so I'm more comfortable with the manual processes. I will also use a terminal emulator to root a phone, instead of the 1-click options. Just posting to clarify that RM is nice, but not necessary.

I need to root my DX that I just got yesterday, came 2.2 pre-installed. I've been accustomed to my rooted D1 for so long and I know that the DX root process is different so I need some help.
I would like to just do a "1 click root method" if possible, but I can use ADB/SDK if that is the best way to root the DX, I got some familiarity with ADB. Also, I'm confused on this bootstrap stuff, etc.
In a nutshell, I want to be able to root my DX, use Clockwork Recovery (for backups, flashing roms, etc.), use Rom Manger, be able to unistall system apps, etc.
Thanks guys

Ok, so because we have rooted, and are running as Superuser with Clockworkmod, each time we turn on or reboot it automatically comes up in the Recovery mod that we just reboot from so we don't brick our DX's? If that is correct then it explains a lot and it would also be something that I haven't seen written out. If it isn't correct can you explain why after rooting and installing Superuser and Bootstrap or Clockwork Recovery Mod when I turned on my D2G or rebooted it I ended up in the Recovery mode?
Thanks.
Here is my question. I have used the Rom Manager and currently running Rubix. I have tried to flash to another Rom to try to get the feel of them and Rubix keeps popping up. Do I need to delete it from my X to get the other ROM to load in?

That's a bit overboard, isn't it? I've rooted and flashed a ton of phones, friends, family, Co workers. Only on some circumstances I had to sbf, but from my own doing.
Simple wipe data, cache within bootstrap clockwork recovery, does the trick. Follow the roms instructions. No need to sbf everytime.

I downloaded and installed the nero beta 3 and now I am trying to install nero v1 from rom manager. When I click to make a backup it restarts but puts me in the android boot loader. I do not have an option for backing up. I flashed clockwork twice but still no success.
Did u click reinstall packages or something

That is an option in the android boot loader but I did not click that.
I believe its the Rom manager that'd having problems. I reverted back to prior update of rom manager, and it worked. Dont update the latest one in the market. If u have auto, uncheck that, so it wouldn't update your rom manager.

To get into the clockwork after u flash it click reinstall packages and it should reboot and go back to stock mode and click reinstall again and it should come with green text and its clockwork.
If that doesn't work try another idea.

Phone Hangs on Motorola Logo
Hi folks,
I flashed a ROM through ROM Manager and told it to back up, wipe, etc... it went through all the steps... backed up the old ROM... installed the new one..
Now it hangs on Boot at the Motorola Logo. Won't go any further and the phone will not boot back into Clockwork Recovery. All that happens is the default Blue recovery panel comes up and only lets me select to flash update.zip.
This of course does not work and installation aborts.
Any ideas here?
Thanks,
Chris

When you get into stock recovery, perform a factory reset/wipe multiple times. It works the same as Clockwork on this aspect.
I have the same problem. Ron manager never got me into cwm. I can use bootstrap to get into cwm but it will only allow me to use the volume buttons. When I use the power button it will appear to work but all that happens is the screen flashes. I have Uninstalled Rom manager but I think I have to delete the cwm file for it to actually function. Anyone have some ideas.
Hi,
I am new at this but from reading how to install custom roms, it seems easy enough. I downloaded fission rom manager and bootstrap from the market for $2 and went along with installing fisson through the rom manager. When it reboots, it goes from the Motorola M to the Circling droid red eye. It doesn't install fission at all. I also tried to do it manually with no success as well.
am i doing something wrong? do i need to do a full factory reset before doing this?
thanks
