If you want just install Rom Manager then install Clockwork recovery from within Rom Manager. Just like i did.

Desire HD - Rooted
LeeDrOiD 1.2
Rom Manager 2.5.07
Did an update in the rom manager, HTC Desire HD was the only option
BUT "An error occurred while attempting to run privilidged commands!"
Now worked, for some reason superuser had been disabled, and I know it was not me

Upgraded from Paul's recovery.
Everything works great.
Thanks Koush

YEP! GOOD MORNING!

Thanks for the heads up, it's all working fine. Just wondering if anyone knows how to fix the issue regarding the phone turning on and booting into Clockwork recovery when it's off and being charged.

Need more info than you've given.
Have you got root on the device?
Have you got S-OFF?
If you have both, then simply download Rom manager from the market and install the recovery.

Hi
Try to run "Fix permissions" in Rom Manager. I had the same problem and this helped me.

Do we need to manually S-OFF before we can flash roms with this?
I didnt realise so i have already flashed recovery...
Do i need to go back and sort out S-OFF?

Yes, i think you definately need S-OFF

Im somewhat confused now, one of the guides mentions that S-Off is not mandatory...
Can someone post to confirm please?
Thanks

Thanks for the update!

S-OFF is not mandatory!

Ok I don't get it.
I had permroot on my dhd with visionary and downloaded Rom manager now and flashed clockwork recovery by selecting my device. Now if I select reboot in recovery I only get options, reboot, sdcard update.zip and wipe. Also it says e:can't open cache/recovery/command
It does not show options like backup, restore or install from zip. Even after doing the fix permissions in Rom manager
What am I doing wrong?

4EXTRecovery and Rom Manager

Hi
I installed 4EXTRecovery and now the Rom Manager.. Rom Manager tells me that I need to install ClockworkMod.. isn't 4EXTRecovery doing the same as ClockworkMod? Can I just choose "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" or does that destory 4EXTRecovery?
Cheers
Michael

4EXT is based on cwm recovery but it have more function than cwm recovery.if you choose flahs CWM recovery,it will replace 4EXTRecovery

ok.. thats exactly what I understood.. but than I cannot use rom manager?! (if I want to keep ext4recovery?)

That is because Rom Manager is made by the same person/people that made CWM.
They will want you tu use their recovery software for better compatibly.

You can use it, press menu and then manual flash override

I only use rom manager premium and I can use ext4 recovery, maybe this is why? Although rom manager is of the few programs that I'll never mind paying for as it pays for all of our recoverys, ext4 included

I have to disagree with you. I bought it and it is not working for me. I can not see ANY premium ROM, I cannot use update feature, nothing... I'm not the only one with this issue and people, including me, reported it and there is no progress... no one is trying to help us.

Manually Flashing recovery failed..

While trying to manually flash CWM it gives me error -1 wtf does that mean? Ive done this process a million times on 6 different phones and have never seen this.. any suggestions?

Flash it through Rom manager?

Please expand this and add a little context; namely, what method are you using that's failing?

Flashing through ROM Manager is what is known as a fake flash.. I need a hard flash.

I am using the terminal method. flash_image recovery recovery.img
that is the same method as I have used every other time.

I just flashed CMR 5.0.2.0 through ROM Manager last night. verified it just now using vol down + pwr and 5.0.2.0 is what came up. is my phone tricking me? or did fake flash get fixed/changed?

bumping this thread back up, every time i open RM it says there's a new version of CWM so i download it over wifi and it installs but never changes on screen. i just rebooted into recovery and its saying im using v5.0.2.0 but like the last post said is this thing tricking me and saying its really updated or what?

I gave up on Rom manager a long time ago. I have 4ext recovery now. But to throw my posts relevance in there, I just opened Rom manager and it says I have the latest version installed right now when the reality is quite distant from that.
Doesn't really answer your question... But Rom manager is definitely flawed....

[Q] rom manager

ok so i am planning to use the nvflash to flash clockworkmod and then cyanogen after all that can i overwrite the recovery with the 1 in rom manager because rom manger is easier to operate then to boot in to recovery and so on so is the rommanager recovery image stable and safe to use because ive been hearing that its bad and its temporary.

Never use rom manager on the g2x. Seriously, just don't do it. You'll get aids.

A lot of people will tell you nothing is wrong with it. The thing is it doesn't actually use the real recovery partition on any Tegra device. The recovery partition can only be written by NVFlash. Rom Manager flashes a fake (but mostly working) CWM to another partition. Issues can rise up if you have incompatible versions of CWM on each; you wont be able to use backups properly and other issues can pop up. If something happens to you Rom the Rom Manager flashed recovery goes with it. I just generally prefer to avoid Rom Manager on Tegra devices entirely.

Flashing roms with rom manager successfully

The first time I flashed a from I used NVFlash but after that I used rom manager to boot into recovery when I was on gb now I'm running ics and I just hold down the power button click reboot>recovery and flash rooms from there and it works is this normal? Cuz I heard ur suppose to ALWAYS use nvflash

So which is it? If you're always doing Power button > Reboot > Recovery you are booting into the NvFlash'd CWM recovery not ROM Manager

Ohh ok thanks makes sense but what about when I use to be on gb I use to use rom manager

You can also use ROM manager to boot to recovery, the reason people advise against using the app altogether is because the fake flashing that ROM manager does.
ROM manager will boot into nvflash recovery successfully as long as you never flashed the fake recovery via ROM manager.
So again, if you never flashed via ROM manager, then holding power>reboot recovery = going to ROM manager and booting to recovery.

Not that it matters, but I have always flashed both recoveries. It's not that Rom Manager "fake" flashes it, it isn't flashed on a persistent partition that can be reached via button combo. I use Rom Manager and it's "fake" recovery mostly for nandroids. In reality, there's literally 2 separate recoveries, albeit, one is worthless in any "no boot" situation. Other than that, it's fine to flash roms and what not, just always have both, never just R M.

Before I'm pretty sure I downloaded a rom and it didn't have rom manager so I downloaded it from the play store and went into recovery through that and flashed a rom? Or is that normal?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

That's fine, what we're all trying to explain is that if you mess up and your phone won't boot normally, you won't be able to recover it with the Rom Manager recovery since it is only accessible through a working a ROM. This is why we Nvflash it on a persistent partition that can be accessed regardless if you have a working rom or not. There's no difference between the two recoveries, only where they are flashed.

I agree. ROM Manager which should be named ROM Mangler has seriously messed up phones causing its victims many hours of panic and grief. Stay away from it.

Kinda off topic but if rom manager is so bad why is it included with custom roms? One of the first things i do is uninstall it with titanium backup

Because it can be used to boot into Recovery, and it is useful for the purpose of organizing backups
