Try using Odin to flash the recovery.
Was hoping on going the quick route but this did the trick.

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:

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.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't imply that CW ROM Manager and CW Recovery are the same thing though...

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

How to flash clockwork recovery from fastboot or fron clockwork recovery 2.51?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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...
Hi all,
I saw somewhere that lfashing CWM through ROM manager is unstable.
is this still the case? or can I safely flash CWM from ROM manager and have it stick through reboots?
also, do I need to factory reset when flashing custom recovery for good measure?
(currently I'm rooted with busybox only, stock ROM)
thanks
I'm not sure if it still does a "fake flash" of recovery through Rom Manager (?) The best way to install a recovery is through fastboot.
You could also install TWRP just as easily with the Goo Manager app as an alternative.

I haven't had any problems installing it through ROM Manager. Installed an update to CWM about a month ago this way and it works fine. Also just reinstalled CWM this way last night after messing around going back to stock and it boots into recovery just fine. I don't flash custom ROM's just do backups and installed su so haven't thoroughly tested it out.
If I have CWM flashed, if I do an OTA update, would I lose recovery? or worse does it cause any conflicts?
thanks

You won't lose recovery. an ota will not complete without the stock recovery. You'd have to reinstall your stock recovery for an ota to be successful

It's easy enough to adb sideload an OTA zip via CWM and you have the option to retain root IIRC.
Just search for adb+sideload+OTA.
Hi,
It seems that I have CWM and recovery installed on my Nexus 4. I was on TWRP previously and switched to CWM, now it seems that it is stucked.
I erased recovery in command prompt and flash it with CWM after installing stock ROM but ROM Manager still detected TWRP. How do I get rid of TWRP?

try flashing stock recovery via adb
If you reboot into recovery does CWM come up or TWRP? If it's CWM then ignore ROM Manager and continue as normal

So you are suggesting that I erase and flash to stock recovery via adb and then flash custom recovery again?

CWM comes up as the recovery because it's the latest one I flash. I know it might now matter but this really bugs me.
Dunno why you're using ROM Manager anyway, pointless piece of software IMO. Just flash everything manually
Mine was gone when i unrooting the device

I was just checking out the app, don't really use it. That was when I saw two recoveries. I erased and flashed everything via adb previously. Just really wanna know the cause and how to get rid of it.

Is there a way just to unroot but keep my ROM, kernel and data intact?

That's normal. I have it too. Just choose cwm on recovery already installed and leave it like that.

I was having so strange issues with my S4 after I originally rooted it so after messing with it for a while I decided to just start over from scratch. I used L720VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_SPR and was able to get it loaded up without any problems and the phone runs fine.
Problem: I tried to re-root the phone again but I cant get cwm or twrp installed. I downloaded rom manager just to try to get cwm installed from there but when I looked under the recovery rom section I says that I have both CWM and TWRP installed already when I dont. I can boot into download mode and the stock recovery but I cant seem to get any other recovery to install.
Anyone know something I can do to get one of these recoveries installed?
Thanks

Here's odin 3.07 and twrp recovery. Just put your phone in Download mode, put the recovery in the pda section of Odin, and then boot to recovery and you should be good :good:

I used the lokified tool to root my phone and did the CWM recovery not TWRP. After getting everything up and running with a rom I downloaded rom manager from the play store and flashed the update, is everything good with my phone or do I now have to reflash the original cwm from the tool. Thanks for any help.

You'll be fine with the current one.

I use it and like it alot
