rom manager wont reboot to recovery

Is there a particular reason why quickboot and rom manager won't boot to clockwork?

Well is your rom compatible with rom manager and did you flash the epic version in rom manager?

Go into the clockwork mod app and click flash clockwork and choose epic but make sure that the rom zip is on the root of your sd card not a folder. Yeah the epic experiance rom never says anything about being compatible with clockwork tho.

To be able to use rom manger to reboot into recovery you need to have a boot kernel that works with rom manager. If you flashed recovery the only way to get to it is by the volume down camera buttonv power button combo. Using quick boot or adb reboot recovery will take you into stock recovery in the boot kernel if you do this you need to select the flash update.zip line in recovery to get into clockwork.

Please post questions in General section.

do you have clockwrk mod recovery?
Download rom manager from the market and flash clockword mod recovery and then choose the "install zip from sdcard" option
Idk how update.zips work, but I never installed a rom using one lol

Are you trying to use the stock recovery or do you have clockwork mod installed?
You won't be able to load roms from the stock recovery. It checks for a valid signature before it flashes.

I don't have a pc I did the clockwork from rom manager

I had this problem too, when I rooted. Do a factory reset and retry the rooting. Once rooted, you wont have a problem with Clockwork Recovery.

You cant use rom manager to install clockwork. It doesn't work on the phones stock kernel.

[QUESTION] ClockworkMod Recovery

How do I flash CM Recovery onto my MyTouch 3G?
All tutorials I have encountered so far seem to confuse me and I tried flashing it using ROM Manager and it just didn't work (even though it said it was successful).
Please help =(

CWM Recovery*

When you try to flash cwm recovery image through Rom manager, it should give you 3 or 2 options, choose ion/mytouch 3g
If you've already done that, reflash and then from Rom manager reboot into recovery to test, if that doesn't work, try amonras recovery image

Clockwork recovery mod not working

After I updated clockwork to 5.0 I can no longer boot in to the recovery backup my system or install roms it only boots to stock recovery with white back ground
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

have you tried reflashing it through ROM manager?
if that doesn't work, flash it manually using adb.

Turn off fast boot? Reinstall the recovery?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Use the file in this thread to reflash the recovery. Rom manager doesn't truly flash the recovery but this will.

ROM Toolbox has a recovery installer that includes TWRP. Just run the install; it'll overwrite current recovery.
It's under Tools - ROM Management - Recovery

I don't recommend using an app to install a custom recovery. I've seen too many reports of people bricking their device with it.
It's just as easy to use a simple tool to do it...this is the one I prefer:

It lets you pick TWRP or CWM and will do the whole thing for you.

If you use rom manager or goo manager ONLY for putting a recovery on it works pretty well. It's when you use it to flash roms is when you can get into trouble. I'd recommend deleting it after getting your recovery. It's too easy to play with it and find the wrong rom for your device. Especially for someone new to flashing.
