i just installed cm7 (Mills00013's cdma version) and was wondering if i go to the clockwork mod recovery app that was installed with it, would flashing clockworkmod recovery mess up my phone, or would it work because i heard that cm7 for xplay can use cmw recovery?
thanks in advance

Old thread, but Clockwork red is normally needed to get CM7 or MIUI started, then Clockwork Blue is installed, and you re-install the ZIP for CM7/MIUI full functional. Clockwork just replaces the stock recovery files.
You can't flash clockworkmod recovery. When you open rom manager, you'll notice that there is no available recoveries for our phones. In addition to that, there is no way for the system to flash a recovery if it wanted to because there is no actual recovery partition to overwrite for our devices. The recoveries we are blessed with using now use a kernel modification to allow recovery to boot from the boot partition, which cannot be touched except with fastboot.

i can only boot into clockwork mod recovery using the standard 3 button method. When i use Rom manager or Root manager to go into recovery it takes me into stock android recovery, does anyone know why?
also my epic will not let me flash noobln's rom, it says the file is messed up despite downloading several time?? however I was able to flash the boss rom.
Sounds like you lost your root.
Mine does the same thing concerning using rom manager to boot into recovery. Have to manually boot into recovery. Root is fine though.

It looks like you used noobnl one click to install the CWM recovery to blm8- if you also want rom manager support you need a kernel that supports it on bml7- you can flash that via the CWM- if you search you will find a stock kernel that has CWM support along with several other roms

I don't have it flashed but the latest mixup lists rom manager support- what happens when you try to boot into recovery via rom manager- do you get an "unsigned error"?

Yep i get the unsigned error but using the manual method works. Im reading its because i used the 1 click clockwork method. I used noobnls newest final clockwork.
When i did it koushs way it would work with rom manager.

Sorry. I am running stock rom. Mixup kernal on top of it with rom manager support. Then have noobnls clockwork flashed on top of mixup kernel.
Last week i went back to stock. I rooted then installed the hacked clockwork then installed koushs kernel to get permanent clockwork and it worked from rom manager as well as the three button way. I then flashed mixup over koushs kernel and that's when it quit working from rom manager.
I am wondering if i can reflash koushs kernel and then mixup because before when i did it mixup didn't support clockwork. I didn't flash koushs way on my new epic.
So basically i would have done this.
Noobnls one click with rom manager and fixed su> koushs kernel> mixup kernel????

Mixup Supports clockwork and rom manager so using market download it and install clockwork recovery.
If you ever have to boot into either STOCK recovery or the THREE FINGER clockwork RECOVERY METHOD.

yeah Same happens to me using Switch pro widget. This new version 1.9 has the ability to reboot to recovery.. everytime I rebooted into recovery, it brought me to stock recovery. Seems like the clock work kept failing to delete the stock recovery, but if I press and hold volume down, on/off and camera it boots into clockwork recovery.

yeah apparently with the epic, they are still working out the kinks, i got Rom manager functioning correctly, but Root manager still boots into stock recovery. im guessing the devs of these apps will eventually fix this

From my limited understanding the epic has two recovery locations- one (bml8) is accessed through the 3 button push. The other (bml7) is accessed through adb reboot recovery or rom manager. Use noobnl CWM installer to install to bml8. To use rom manager (to place CWM on bml7) your kernel must support it (i.e. you have to flash to something else other than the stock kernel). hope that makes sense!
In some senses this is nice- if your rom gets messed up you can still access the recovery via the 3 button push
Also before you use rom manager for the first time make sure there is no "update.zip" on the root of your sdcard
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10862819&postcount=3
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.

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

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 have installed it while in '0.5, and when I go back in, its always gone. Has rom manager been updated for this? Because I think that's they problem. I choose CWR from within rom manager (which is .0.5), and when it reboots I am back in 0.5.
Just wondering if there was an update or a fix/patch I missed.

I don't know what you are doing, so I will just tell you what I have done.
1) Download 3.0.0.6 and save to sd.
2) Flash 3.0.0.5 from within rom manager.
3) reboot into recovery 3.0.0.5.
4) Flash 3.0.0.6 file
5) reboot until rom loaded
6) Once rom loaded reboot again into recovery and should be 3.0.0.6 (do not reflash 3.0.0.5 again, otherwise will see 3.0.0.5 in recovery again)
If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you except to use adb.

Sometimes when you flash a new ROM, CWM 3.0.0.6 doesn't stick. When that happens, just downlaod and install a clean CWM recovery file again from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681) and follow instructions and 3.0.0.6 should stick.

I'm not sure what the other posters mean when they say CWM doesn't "stick". The problem is that 3.0.0.6 is not an officially supported version, and therefore even when it's installed, ROM Manager will continue to say you have 2.5 or 3.0.0.5 installed. Once you've successfully installed 3.0.0.6, don't worry what ROM Manager says about versions. Just boot into recovery and you'll see that 3.0.0.6 is there.

It's not resetting. He just thinks it is since 3.0.0.5 is the latest version supported by ROM Manager.

I actually realize that Rom manager merely says 3.0.0.5 and 0.6 is actually "installed". The problem is it doesn't "stick". Even if I boot from recovery not using rom manager, 0.5 is always still there. I am going to download it again and see what happens.

Just an FYI for any who had any problems.
Originally, the file I had a link to (and downloaded) was something like clockworkmod-recovery-3.0.0.6.zip (or similar). This apparently is a one shot flash to put you into the 3.0.0.6 recovery while you are already in the 3.0.0.5 recovery. The file that I just downloaded (given above in this thread) actually creates a permanent 0.6 recovery. Just install the file from 0.5 recovery, reboot, and then flash clockworkmod recovery from within rom manager.
At that point, whenever you boot into recovery from RM, it be 3.0.0.6. NOTE: RM will continue to say that you have 3.0.0.5 installed, so ignore that.... 0.6 will be installed.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
based on your original post (unless I'm miss reading it) you are flashing the zip file from within recovery, when phone reboots you are going into ROM Manager and flashing CWR which shows as 3.0.0.5 if you use the method in the link "NeverAlwaysEver" posted 3.0.0.6 over writes 3.0.0.5 so it should stick... however I did notice after flashing the newest version of 3.0.0.6 (the one that keeps phone from booting into recovery if plugged in while off) if I selected 3.0.0.5 in ROM Manager it would flash back to 3.0.0.5, I don't know why but that is the only one I have had the same problem you laid out.
One thing I realize is all the posts about these topics can be confusing because it is not always clear whether a poster is starting that they "flashed" cwr, ot merely booted into cwr.
But my problem was solved when I flashed/installed the file from the link by NeverAlwaysEver above when I was in CWR (3.0.0.5). This file is a substitute file which RM uses to flash to a new recovery. So when you flash again from within RM, you are "installing" the 3.0.0.6 recovery. I didn't write RM, so I do not know why it doesn't recognize that 3.0.0.6 is installed and report this as the actual version after you do this, but its a minor issue.
I dint know what zip version you are referring to other than the one in this thread and the "one-shot" one I had (which I got from SoltyPK in some post), but the later one could have utility if you need more than 2 recovery versions (e.g., if for some reason you wanted to have the ability to use the stock recovery (2.5.1.7), cwr 3.0.0.5, and cwr 3.0.0.6., the last one you actually install while in 3.0.0.5, and it thereupon immediately puts you into 3.0.0.6.

If you mean CWM 3.0.0.6 off mode charging from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014554), it says that one is modified from the original CWM 3.0.0.6 and not the newest CWM 3.0.0.6 that TrueBlue_Drew posted (link I gave in previous post). I haven't tried that off mode charging CWM modified from original CWM .6 but maybe that is the reason why it goes back to .5.
I'm currently running Acer_A500_0.022.00_WW_GEN1 with unlocked bootloader and tweaked kernel... have CWM as recovery...

To install the stock recovery you can just dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 from a root shell where recovery.img is the recovery image extracted from the zip file of a stock leak. Then you can reboot into the stock recovery and flash the latest leak and flash a new bundle with CWM, BL & kernel for that version
