[Q] Why cant we use ROM Manager app?

I was wondering.. Now that we have CWM recovery working on our phones, why cant we use the ROM Manager app to update the recovery, flash roms or partition the sd card?

I think its because the app doesn't reconize the recovery.

The cwm recovery we have is unofficial.. Koush, ROM Manager dev, needs to add our device to it.. Unless official cwm is released for our device, we can't use rom manager..

Error recovery flashing...

I found that after flashing or repartitioning cwm using hd2 toolkit, i am unable to flash any recovery (tried touch recoveries, cwm 5.xxx downloaded using rom manager etc) via cwm zip flashing.
Always got error, bad headder and if i reboot the phone after that, it will also erase my current recovery too...( got this when i tried to flash touch recovery)
Do any one know whats the problem?? It comes not from a bad recovery.zip or recovery.img, as i had flazhed same before...
Though i dont know what cause it, i found a solution, i just changed the recovery.img comes with dft recovery flasher, which flash recovery to phone via usb flasher mode, with the recovery.img from touchrecovery flashable.zip, flashed it, got working touch recovery, and now i can flash any recovery.zip from phone itself via cwm.
But i never know why cant i able to flash some other recovery.zip from phone, if i use original recovery from hd2tool kit. Any body have got the ans? Pls let me know whatz the cause.

Are you using the newest version of HD2 toolkit? The newest one includes recovery 5.0.2.6
I have used the toolkit many many times, and never had one problem.

Yap. And it flashes it. Ie 5.0.2.6.
But rom manager got 5.0.2.7
And touch recovery rc 1.

Maybe you have some bad blocks in the recovery partition.

How did you flash it? maybe you just ran it off the sd? Are you on cLK or Magldr?

I think Before you can flash a rom with rom manager, you will need a custom recovery.
there are a couple to chose from :
TWRP
CWM
CWM Philz Touch
The creator from the google rom rom wich you want to flash gave no specific one, so you can pick one and all three should work. i'm using philz touch at the moment.
The custom recovery must be flashed from pc with odin, if you never used odin before, you need to install usb drivers / or 'kies' first.
If you never used Odin, then make sure you read a little first on how to use it, it's simple but can give bootloops or worse if not used well.
Since you have to flash this recovery you might as well flash it from there? it's easier i think and has more options then rom manager.
turn off phone -> press volume up - menu button - power button at the same time wich will open custom recovery and from there follow the guidelines from the google edition v6 topic on how to flash it.
-> Inside the custom recovery there is an option for backup, i suggest if this is your first custom rom tryout, that you make a backup in that custom recovery before trying, like that you can't do much wrong while testing

i guess i made it ... thanks for anyone who trying to help me..
now running JB4.3 thanks before

-> owyess, those custom recoverys are for i9505, if you have an i9500 or other device, DON't flash these but get your own version at the 'original android development' threads from your device

Problem while flashing CWM recovery. Plzz help

I was trying to install CWM for Galaxy Y(via .zip) which was successful but whenever I boots into recovery mode it boots to stock recovery rather than CWM. I have tried installing two CWM .zip files but both show same result.
P.S Can I flash Galaxy Gio's CWM on Galaxy Y?

why are you repeating the question it is already answered in your last post
anyways there are two types of cwm
temporary cwm - you have to flash it from stock recovery to get cwm ( the one you are using now)
permenant cwm - which replaces stock recovery
to get a permanent cwm you have to install a kernel which has an integrated cwm with it

Use only Galaxy y's CWM
ClockWorkMod Recovery is temperory if you flash it via stock.
Permanent CWM comes with the kernel. So flash a kernel that has CWM replacing stock recovery.
DONT FLASH CWM THAT WAS NOT MADE FOR YOUR DEVICE.
Dont use CWM of Galaxy Gio.
P.S. Dont repeat questions and spam the forum.
