Well is it? Been looking around at a few Rom managers and is seem that "Rom Manager" allows is somehow but it will not work, I dont know where to drop the recovery image.
The reason I am asking this is because I am at work today with no cable and "NEED" (lol) to flash the 1.7 rom that just came out.
Thanks in advance
ANSWER:
Ok so this is how I was able to flash my recovery image without a computer:
Step 1: Download the .img file you want to flash
Step 2: Download Rom Manager (Clockworkmod) from the app market
Step 3: Copy your .img file to sdcard/clockworkmod/download/mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries
(atleast this is where my recovery-cockwork-2.5.0.7-streak.img was being saved to)
Step 4: Rename the most recent .img file to something close just to keep as a backup (ex. recovery-cockwork-2.5.0.7-streak.img to recovery-cockwork-2.5.0.7-streak2.img
Step 5: Rename the downloaded .img file to what the original was (right now it would be recovery-cockwork-2.5.0.7-streak.img)
Step 6: Go into Rom Manager and press Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. it will now flash with it thinks is the latest, the one you just renamed.
Step 7: You are done, reboot and you should have the recovery.img you needed.
I needed to do this because for some reason after flashing to 1.6.1 my recovery no longer allowed me to flash from my SD.. I was away from my computer so I needed to find a way to flash remotely.
ENJOY

Moving to General
Isn't that what ClockworkMod does?
I don't see why you couldn't download the ROM onto the SD card via the Streak (or another phone).
Of course, it needs to be in the correct format to be flashed this way.
This is how I usually apply StreakDroid.
Of course, you need to have ClockworkMod already installed to do this.

This should be made into a sticky.

Well I tried this by installing the latest ROM manager (v3.0.7) then I copied and renamed the streakdroid as instructed.
However, if I run ROM manager on the streak and select Reboot into Recovery, the streak just re-boots back into Android (DJ Steve 1.7)
Did I do something wrong?
Cheers

You still need to hold the volume up n down buttons when the device restarts. This just allows you to get the correct recovery.img file on the phone. I dont think there is a manager that actually reboots in recovery mode yet for the streak

I have a broken pdmi connector so I'm hoping I can use this process. When I Flash Clockworkmod Recovery it downloads a file in the sdcard/clockworkmod/download folder but it isn't recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-streak.img. It also doesn't have any subfolders within sdcard/clockworkmod/download. Any clue why this is? Do I need an old rom manager apk?

Does rom manager really work for your streak ?
Can someone please direct me to the a step by step guide on how to Root and put CM7 on the Nexus S i9020a variant? Most of the stickies are for the T-mobile version and Its getting to be a bit confusing on which guide to follow. Please help this noobie!!!
use gingerbreak then rom manager it's that simple
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Quick note once you install CM7 do not use the 2g/3g feature it will break your 3g
Break 3g? as in damage it permanently? Thanks for the link for gingerbreak so basically that will root my nexus s then I can install CM 7 with out any special instructions since it has different radio compared to the tmobile version?
i used gingerbreak then rom manager to install clockwork recovery and CM7. Do some reading the 3g bug for I9020A has been discussed a few times. Just stay away from the 2g/3g toggle and everything will be fine. I don't think it permanently breaks it just is a pain in the A to fix. I have a I9020A and this was the simplest way I've found.
don't we have to flash a clockwork compatible kernel first, before flashing cm7?
Also, doesn't clockwork rom manager fail on sns? I have cwr from the main stickies, but rom manager doesn't see it (it works), and can't download roms, unless cwr from rom manager, which I heard fails.

So I downloaded CM7 7.0.2 - and gapps - flashed in order (nandroid first) and voila! no hastle! This ROM is great!
No, those are the only steps i took
CM7 comes with its own AOSP kernel. Just flash the rom, you'll get the kernel bundled. (Of course you can always use a great kernel from the developers thread) don't forget to flash gapps.

He means don't use the 2g/3g toggle widget as that will cause some problems, it hasn't been fixed yet. If you do want to change it though, do it manually through the settings.

I tried using gingerbreak on my i9020a but it runs for longer than 15 mins so I guess it doesn't work. What are my other options for rooting?
edit: I guess it's because I installed 2.3.6.. is it possible to downgrade easily?

Follow one of the root guides, all you really need to do is unlock the bootloader and install Clockwork Recovery.
Once that is done, download the zip for cm7 and use CWM to flash it.

Agreed, but it's a matter of getting the correct CWM image for our phones. Also, for people who are setting up their phones for the first time, the drivers needed for fastboot need to be installed, fastboot/SDK needs to be downloaded etc...
Hence why i referenced the rooting guides.

Yep, it's just the color you want your recovery to be. I flashed the cyan a couple of days ago for somebody else and no issues.. typical clockwork recovery
So I flashed the recovery file, but when I boot into recovery now, there's just the triangle with the ! in it and nothing happens.. did I do something wrong?

How did you flash it? That's the stock recovery.. should be 'fastboot flash recovery nameof.img' without quotes obviously.

the clockwork recovery as well any custom recovery. it allows the unsigned .zip that we use to changes roms update and so on., without being stopped by manfacturer security
clockwork its popularity might have come from the awesome rom manager app i believe he is also on the cm team. someone with better knowledge can answer that one.

You leave Primed zipped and put it on your SDcard.
You then boot into CWM and select install .zip from SDcard.
Navigate to the file (Prime 1.4) and just select it.
It should then install
Reboot and have lots of new fun!

How do I boot into CWM? like a device reboot, or via the app?
Ok so I installed CWM recovery from the app above.... and moved the PRIME.zip file to my SDcard root but in the app now the "Custom or Stock recovery.img from microSD" is greyed out.
Any ideas how I install PRIME?
I also rebooted the device and managed to boot it into CWM, however when i go to "install zip from sd card" PRIME does not appear in the list, i get DCIM/ and LOST.DIR/
^ My advice is to STOP RIGHT THERE
Don't even THINK about installing Prime until you've read the Prime thread in the development section and UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
Otherwise you WILL KILL YOUR TABLET.
Seriously, newbies shouldn't be doing any of this stuff until you've understood how to do it safely.

No only name the RUUs pc36img do NOT name ROMs you download off xda as that.
You can flash those in your custom recovery. (Go to your bootloader, select recovery, select flash zip from sdcard, select the rom and flash)

Furthermore, the ruu is only to return you to stock.
To ensure that your phone is good to go.
Then reroot.
Then go into the recovery and flash whatever custom rom you want how I said.
so you are saying whatever the download was named originally then thats what i should have left it and installed it as?
Yes, leave the Rom named what it was then boot into recovery and flash the romnamehere.zip from there.

The reason I wanted you to run a ruu is because you had said you flashed something and it wont go past the bootloader.
Running the ruu returns it to complete stock.

Download File
Rename to PC36IMG (all caps) +++++++THIS IS WHERE I CHANGED THE FILE !!!!
Place on root of sd card
turn off phone
Put into bootloader power button/vol down
Bootloader will read the update
Follow prompts yes & yes
reboot phone!
Remove file from sd or it will read the file over and over everytime you boot yur phone!
Enjoy oldskool simple flawless recovery!
Done flash away!
So I followed those instructions but I think the file he was talking about renaming was the recovery file or something else? Anyway it confused me.

You can flash the Odin ROM without root. That will root and install the proper kernel for you... then use CWM to flash whatever ROM you want to use.
Or you can flash the complete odin package for 2.2 thats on the Continuum Development section.
Which will also make your device rooted

You don't want to rename the rom zip. You have to use the Cyan CWM update.zip, which is here: http://www.4shared.com/file/cLdwKNsU/update.html
I don't know if the other links posted are for the same file, but that's the one that works with Froyo.
You must have the cwm update.zip on your flash card. When you start up in recovery, you'll need to select apply update.zip. Use the volume rocker to highlight update.zip, and tap the menu soft-key to select. Once in CWM, the power button is select, and the back soft-key is back. You'll want to select the menu option to install zip from sd card, select zip to install, and browse to where you saved the rom file.
If all else fails, I'll be uploading a super-clean debinged ROM in the next few days. Once it's up, just flash via Odin as you did with adrynalyn's cwm recovery image.
