Once you download and install ROM Manager, you need to go into it and install Clockworkmod. Then use the ROM Manager to boot into recovery.

Still doesn't work...could it be the ROM or could it be the actual root itself

Hmmm.....Try downloading/installing Droid 2 Bootstrap. Then try to go to recovery from there.
If that doesn't work then something went wrong when you rooted.

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.

Installing roms

I have rom manager installed and am trying to install a rom from sdcard I keep gettin error message after it boots into recovery mode can someone tell me what I am doing wrong
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Try giving us a little more details on what the error message says. Otherwise it's hard to determine what exactly you're doing wrong.
We can start with the basics, do you have ClockWorkMod installed?
Yes clockworkmod is installed, the error message e: file signature failed
E:failed to verify
Installation aborted

Try installing the ROM without using ROM Manager. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery, then manually choose the zip and flash.
This usually means that clockwork is not installed correctly and that you are not flashing the rom from within clockwork.

I installed it from rom manager and it said it installed right, hold down vol down power and camera to get into recovery mode correct? Then how do I manually choose the zip file?

I rooted my epic w one click and I did a factory restore did that take out my root privs ?

It definitely sounds as though you haven't properly installed ClockWork -- IT appears you are booting in to the stock recovery, which will not allow you to flash a rom.
Assuming your phone is rooted, you will want to goto this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782300
and download this method of installing clockwork. Follow the directions on the post, and you shouldn't have an issue getting clockwork to run.
I'm just curious....did you rename or move this from inside the phone? I know I moved a couple roms using astro and then tried and no go.....maybe it was just me tho...

i rooted my droidx and i got rom manager but when i hit boot into recovery it doesnt go into the rom manger recovery. am i missing something?
Did you install and run Droid 2 Bootstrap?

Run D2 bootstrap, click bootstrap, then click reboot recovery. Make sure you've clicked flash recovery in CWM first.

[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*
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
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

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.
