I've been trying to help a friend flash ROM's to his X. We've installed the paid Bootstrap and Rom Manager. We then utilized the bootstrap utility, and flashed clockworkmod recovery. We then go to the Download rom section of Rom Manager and choose FlyX, it downloads, we then check backup current rom, and wipe data, continue. The phone attempts to boot into clockworkmod but wont. It does the update package part, fails, and then reboots normally. I should also note that when I attempt to boot into clockworkmod recovery via bootstrap it is successful. Could I find the downloaded Rom via the menu in clockworkmod and install it that way? Is there a step in installing Clockworkmod that I'm missing? I've been checking the forums but all I can find for solutions is people saying to install bootstrap again. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both programs twice and nothing has changed. Thanks so much in advance for the help.
open rom manager and click on flash clockworkmod recovery.
everything you download with rom manager goes into the /clockworkmod/download folder on your mem card.
Tried that.didn't work.

You need to open up Bootstrap and select the top option... then you can proceed to Rom Manager.......Rom Manager cannot flash CW onto the DroidX that why we need Koush's Droidx Bootstrapper. Give that a try also Note i hope that you have booted into CW and made a Nandroid backup of your friends current phone state.. If that still doesnt work for you.. download the ROM off a forum and do it manually.

YOu need to download Koush bootstrap http://koush.tandtgaming.com//motorola/droidx/DroidXBootstrap.apk
So after I gain root, I open Bootstrap? I then hit the "Bootstrap Recovery" button? Then I open Rom Manager and click "flash the latest ClockworkMod Recovery", which I beleive is 2.5.0.7? Do I hit the "Reboot Recovery" button in Bootstrap after I flash the latest CW recovery?
that will get you into clockwork mod yes.
This helped, thanks everyone

I have tried this several times, even re-installing rom manager and boot strap and everytime i reboot it will not go into the rom manager recovery mode. any ideas/and or advice will help
P.S. I have wiped several times and i am running .596
Right now i have android 2.2 sense on my HTC HD2. I have flashed a few ROMS and are starting to get the hang of things but all the ROMS i have flashed have had a DAF.exe or a Installer.exe file in them that i use to install the ROM. Now i want to install MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877777) but can't understand how to do it because it only has three folders in the Zip, Boot, System and META-INF. HELP PLEASE??
You must not unzip this rom, it gets installed using ClockWork Mod (CWM) and is installed as a zip rom from the sd card. You will need magldr 1.13, you then need to flash a cwm 1.3 partition (150mb) should do. You then enter ClockWork Recovery and install the rom. You'll find info on CWM here
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.
This is just a tip to other Newbies (or others that didn't think of it :-D )
After I started playing with my rooted legend and ClockWork MOD I got sick of downloading CWM from the Market then downloading the different recovery roms each time, I tried a new rom or something else.
My simple solution was to keep an update.zip (2.5.0.7) in the root of sd (most updates i've used so far seam to need amend-stript or don't like new version) and also keep other versions of CW recoveries with file name + version.zip ie update5.zip update3.zip etc on sdcard, once i boot into CWM 2.+ I can then load any other version I need too via the update from zip file option, so if i have done a backup using say 5.0.2.0 I boot into 2.+ then load the update5.zip hey presto 5.0.2.0. ...
Update to this thread, now that HTC has released its unlocked bootloader, we now have to flash the s-off img. File for recovery as the update.Zip doesn't work anymore. However you can still open the update.zip after you have already loaded recovery.

1. Place the Folder in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup <it's currently as Nandroid Backup , will be a ZIP as soon as i fix my custom kernel , beacuse I couldn't check the zip , Im pretty stuck on CWM 6 with this kernel.>
2. Boot to CWM based Recovery.
3. Restore the ROM.
4. Reboot , boot again to CWM but this time it'll be the new CWM 4 recovery from my rom! for a better allocation of /data (uses different mmcblk)
