I have rooted my HTC Wildfire and now i need to get CyanogenMod 7 on it ...
i have downloaded Rom manager i flashed ClockworkMod Recovery mode into the phone...
But when i enter Recovery mode its just the regular Recovery screen that comes up...
I have tryied this 3 times and it still wont work (also after resetting the whole phone)
How do i get ClockworkMod Recovery mode on my phone then ?
EDIT :
I installed CM7 via ROM MANEGER and now i need to install Google Apps.
But when i go into Revolutionary CMW (Revovery mode) and try to Select "apply update from sdcard" all the text just disapers and nothing new is comming up...
What do i do ?
Flashing from rom manager will not give a permanent recovery for wildfire (when there is no custom recovery at first). But such kind of process is there for other phones.

So how to get cm7 based recovery . Cm7 needs CWM 3.x or higher recovery. The answer depends on whether u have used unrevoked or alpharev (=revolutionary) to root ur phone.
If u used unrevoked, u must be having some recovery. Here u can use rom manager to flash 3.x recovery and reboot to recovery from within rom manager to temporarily get 3.x + recovery which can flash cm7. Or u can download a 3.x + recovery.img file and use unrevoked again to flash that recovery. Here u should select the custom recovery option in unrevoked and point to ur downloaded file.
And if u have used revolutionary, there will be an option during the revolutionary process where to install custom recovery or not. U can choose to install. Or once u have s-off, fastboot flashing will be enabled. So u can flash a recovery from fastboot with the help of a PC. This is more preferrable. There are also other options. If u search the dev forums u will see posts explaining to install recovery through "pc49img" method. Also "flash_image" method. Both these wont need a pc unlike all the above methods.

Problem solved but a new one is here
I installed CM7 via ROM MANEGER and now i need to install Google Apps.
But when i go into Revolutionary CMW (Revovery mode) and try to Select "apply update from sdcard" all the text just disapers and nothing new is comming up...
What do i do ?
Choose 'Install Zip from SDCard', not 'Apply update from SDCard'
I have tryied all of them....
inclusive "power down" and not even that works its only removing the text and nothing new comes up
Use the trackball for selecting stuff in Clockworkmod. Not the Power button.
WOW FAIL BY ME !!!
Sry guys im still noob at rooting
Thank you for the help.
PROBLEM SOLVED!

when i enter the recovery mode
i got into Android system recovery (2e)
then i choose apply sdcard:update.zip
then it forward me to ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5..
then i choose apply sdcard:update.zip again..
then it rebooted and back to system recovery (2e) again
what should i do to fix this ? i want to update my ROM
If your custom ROM can be flashed via cwm, go save it in your internal sd then use the install zip in sd card option in cwm.
I suggest you do a full nandroid back-up first just to be on the safe side...
thanks for reply..
i think i can't use cwm anymore to flash.. since it keeps looping between this two recovery mode.. i just flash it using odin, now i'm runnning original firmware 2.1
but i still see those two recovery mode.. how to remove one of them ?
When you get into Clockwork, don't press the "apply update.zip".
Select "install zip from sdcard" and locate your roms .zip and install it.
Read the instructions again and again until you understand it. It's obvious that you have no idea what you are doing.

If I understand your post correctly, you are having trouble getting into CWM after installing it. I had the same thing on my phone.
When going into recovery, you hold down the power button, the home button and the volume up button and release the home button when the Samsung screen appears. I tried releasing the power button when the Samsung screen appears and it goes into CWM recovery.

Does anyone know if there is a way to force rom manager to bypass its check for cwm. I have red cwm installed, and don't wanna flash green cwm, I just want to use rom manager to pull down themes and such, and extract or manually flash what ( want, but it wont let me past the flash cwm or cancel pop-up....
Well, I still use green cwm, so Im not sure, but if Rom manager still lets you download stuff...
you can still manually install things you download in Rom manager.
They get stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download -
So you can download them, cancel the cwm install, then boot into recovery and install manually.
That's just it, it wont let me use it, unless I relent to let it install, green cwm. I'm on super clean dL09 with adrynalyne's 1230 voodoo kernel, which, if I understand is what red cwm was built for, voodoo I mean...

When you reboot into green CWM from Rom Manager, go to Advanced, and select Reboot to recovery, and it will reboot the phone into the red CWM. Either that, or you can power off the phone and old Power + Volume Up + Volume Down to get into red CWM, or use ADB or Terminal Emulator to enter the "reboot recovery" command, which will also have the same effect. Once in red CWM, just choose to install from zip file, and browse to the download folder that Bawb3 pointed you to to find the ROM zips to install.
If you haven't flashed CWM with Odin as well as ROM Manager then it won't actually install... Flashing with ROM Manager only puts the update.zip on your SD card, and flashing with Odin actually puts the recovery kernel on the phone.
Okay, gotcha.....thats what I needed to know.....
Thanks guys, much appreciated....
I odined the red cwm package that adrynalyne posted to go along with the voodoo 1230 kernel. I just wanted to make sure I didn't blast it out of the phone with rom manager. I can get to the red recovery just fine, as y'all mentioned with volume up/down and power, so.....three finger salute....
I'm coming from a Moto Cliq XT , which seemed a bit simpler to pop into recovery and flash stuff using an amon RA recovery than this one.... still learning the ropes..
Thanks again...

I'm trying to flash a custom rom made from romkitchen however have hit a wall. Any help pointing out a solution or where i may have gone wrong would be most appreciated. I'll outline all the steps i took, not sure if they are related to the issue or not.
I started of with froyo dtjp5 with no 3 button and 3e recovery. I started by using odin to flash the canadian bootloader fix which worked perfectly and gave me 3 button download mode. I then flashed chainfire cf-root 1.3 kernell which also worked perfectly and i know have working 2e recovery mode. I then donwloaded clockwork rom manager form the app market, and flashed the clockworkmod recover 2.5.1.2. It appeared to be successful. However when i attempt to enter recovery mode, either through the application, or through 3 button mode it, simply boots into normal 2e recovery mode rather than clockwork mod. I have tried applying the flash again but it still did not work.Untill i can boot into clockworkmod recovery i cant apply my romkitchen zip file so im kind of stuck. I must be missing something but cant figure it out, so once again any held would be much appreciated. Thanks
flash for example voodoo or speedmod kernel with odin/heimdall or kernel flasher(haven't used it often so i am not sure about kernel flasher)

Make sure CWM is set as update.zip on your sdcard - ROM Manager should actually do this for you - then in 2e recovery select flash update.zip ... the very first time it should just reboot your device (so go into recovery again), the second time it should start CWM.
Not sure why CWM is built that way.
Thanks very much
Ok so I am having a problem with cwm that i hope someone can help me with. I just flashed the latest speedmod kernel using the sgs kernel flasher app. Now when i try to reboot into recovery from cwm so that i can access the tweaks menu, the cwm options dont appear. It says i am in android sytem recovery(3e). where my only real option besides wiping the phone is to apply sdcard:update.zip, which does not work even though cwm is set as update.zip on my sd card. Any help to this noob would be appreciated.

to apply CWM from 3e recovery you need it on your sd card. it has to be named 'update.zip'
the other way to do this, is download odin version, boot into download mode, and flash.
overall process takes less than 5 mins.
Check if you really have it -> settings -> about phone.
And try to flash it using odin, that worked flawlesly for me.

The kernel definately flashed correctly. I am not sure why the update.zip isnt workingfro cwm (the signature verification keeps failing), but i am going to try odin and see what happens. I've never used it before, but i am downloading it now.
i have a samsung vibrant with official 2.2 and i wanted to know how i can root this version and i wanted to know how to flash a custon rom which i already knw how to do but my 3e recovery mode is not installin the update.zip file and its not leting me to boot in clockwork recovery.
Root by using Superoneclickroot 1.9. You can flash a voodoo enabled kernel to get the Red voodoo/CWM recovery or flash back to stock to apply update.zip.

When you attempt to go into recovery in CWM and you select Flash recovery if it goes to the stock recovery you should select "reininstall packages" sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times of doing this and than it will finally take and you should have CW recovery.

3e recovery doesn't allow you to flash update.zip files.
downgrade with odin to 2.1 with the proper tar file and pit file. Then when ur on 2.1 its alot easier. Put the update package on ur internal sd card and turn ur phone off. Then hold down both volume buttons then power it back on and when u see vibrant come on let go of the power button. U will then see recovery then all u have to do is reinstall package and u may have to do that once or twice but then after that u will have the green recovery and ur phone will be rooted and ready to rock with some roms.
enjoy
Hey guys, I am new here and at first I have to say sorry for my bad english :S
However, here is my Problem:
I just made my Wildfire ( Froyo 2.2.1; HBOOT with .01 at end) S-OFF and rooted it manually with this *KLICK* Method.
The Clockworkmod Recovery, which is now on my phone, is Version 3.0.0.6...
And here is the Problem, I can not flash custom Roms based on 2.2.1, it only allow to flash Roms based on 2.3+ and I have no Idea how to update to a newer Version which allow it or to downgrade to an older Version which definitely allow it ...
Any Idea or Solution?

Get ROM manager
click Flash Recovery
wait
click Reboot into Recovery
If you want to use recovery 3.0 reboot the phone into HBOOT and select it from there.
If you want to use recovery 2.5 use rom manager.
or you can use fastboot to install
i`ve got the same problem and i still can't flash less than 2.3+

2nd post of this thread. Flash recovery from rom manager and reboot to recovery from the option in rom manager itself.
If u still face issues, then reboot to recovery and select "install zip from sdcard" and then select "choose zip from sdcard". Then choose the path sdcard/clockworkmod/download/ and enter the sub folders where you find 2.x recovery. Flash it first to get 2.x recovery on the fly. Then you can start the installation of 2.2 roms .

Thanks for the answers! I will try it tonight and report if it worked
edit: Worked just fine!! Thank you very much!
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
since I am facing the same problem.... where can I get the .img version of the .zip clockwork recovery??
thanx !
i figured out now !!! i was a little bit obsessed to flash openfire and some old roms but now i came back to cm7 ... and for gps to work i just reflashed radio
I cannot flash cwm recovery v4. with s-off unrevoke doesnot do so and installing it from hboot or recovery 2.5 does not work. any clues?
You have to rename the ZIP file (!) of cwm recovery 4 to "PC49IMG.zip" and than put it in the root of your sd card.
Start to HBOOT (S-OFF!) and click yes when it asks for update.
It should work this way...
this is will not work, signing lost by renameing. best way is get android sdk,when phone restart in fastboot mode, in pc go to cmd (cd to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools) or where ever you android_sdk installed. extract recovery.img to same folder, insert command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (recovery.img can be a any name.img)
