I just finished rooting my wifes phone and had Rom Manager installed CWM yet when I reboot into recovery it starts 3e instead. I also downloaded SGS Tools but dont see a way in there to set the recovery to reboot into.

You need to install the modded 3e and then cwm recovery.
As per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213 thanks.

I was able to install the hacked 3e recovery but when I go through Rom Manager and tell it to Flash CWM it says it does (tried it three times) yet when I reboot into recovery it still comes up as the 3e hacked.
I figured it out. The flashing was creating an update.zip that then had to be installed. All set with CWM.

I know this is very basic, but I rooted the phone and now have to put clockwork on the phone. so the question is, do i use the one click clockwork thing?
what about the rom manager version, can you flash that with a rooted system through normal recovery? or is it like no matter what I need 1 click clockwork on the phone before putting on a kernal that will have clockwork in it?

As of last night there is a shortcut now available.

Note, using reboot recovery or adb reboot recovery will take you to a "stock" recovery. Simply apply the update.zip on your SD card and clockworkmod will start up. (This method is better known as fakeflash)
Starting up recovery through ROM Manager will take you directly into clockworkmod.

Go to this thread and download the .zip of the ClockworkMod kernel. Rename the file "update.zip" and place it at the root of your SD card. Reboot into stock recovery by turning off the phone and then hold volume down/camera/power. There should be an option to install update.zip - do that. Now you can reboot the phone and you should have the ClockworkMod kernel installed. Go to the market and download ROM Manager. Open it up and select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. After the file is downloaded select Reboot into Recovery. Your phone should reboot and automatically install Clockwork. Done.
From my understanding the .zip is signed so this should work, although I used a different method as I already had the old Clockwork Recovery installed when I installed the ClockworkMod kernel.
I think that you need either a custom recovery or use redbend ua to flash- the true stock recovery will not work as it is not signed by samsung etc
hey i rooted my nexus s and installed clockworkmod 3.0.0.0

BUT
what for is the updatefunction in the rommanager then if it is not working???

You could probably flash it from fastboot, but the OP is correct, the 3.0.0.5 update "breaks" ROM Mgr and CWM.
With 3.0.0.0 you can open ROM Mgr, then select Reboot To Recovery, and the phone will quickly reboot into CWM recovery.
Upgrade to 3.0.0.5 and when you select Reboot To Recovery, the phone gets stuck on the white Google on black background screen. A battery pull is required.
Downgrade to 3.0.0.0 and the expected behavior returns.
Seems to be a bug to me with 3.0.0.5. Need to let koush know.
To the original poster, you're aware that if you're on Android 2.3.1 that any fresh normal boot of the phone restores the stock recovery to the device unless you remove/rename the appropriate script in the /etc folder, right?
i have Android 2.3.1
which file i have to remove/reneame in dhe "/etc" folder?
is this different to the way to update the clockwork as on the HTC Desire?
thx

Be aware there are some who think it's risky. I'd advise reading this thread before proceeding, at least the last few pages of it.
I'd also be leary of messing with the recovery until you're sure you're able to get into at least CWM to make fixes if needed (e.g., have CWM 3.0.0.0 working).
Also, I just went to the Market, found Rom Manager (Premium) and scrolled down to the email the author link and sent a bug report. I'm not encouraging spamming him with complaints, but those anxious for a fix might want to report the bug as well if they have it.
i installed Clockwork again from: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html (Nexus S 3.0.0.5)
an installed it manualy with: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after taht i loaded the recovery and it told me that i have 3.0.0.5
rommanager told me i have 3.0.0.0 and there is a update for me *g*
but when i tryed to reboot an go to the recovery again its not possible ... i got an error and had to hardboot - its possible to load android ...
so now ... whats the problem ... i downloaded the right CW and installed it like i did 1st. time ...
i read the link you gave me - found that:

That's all there is to it. It's that simple. Root explorer is a file explorer with root access. When you browse to the file, click the button to enable read-write access in root explorer, and then long press on the filename and rename it.

when i have 3.0.0.0 as recovery and i reboot and then reboot to recovery anything is working i kan go to the recovery menue - i have root rights and i can install what i want .. so what is set back with this "bootscript"?
for me everything sounds a little bit wierd ... i am sorry ...
thx

My 3.0.0.5 recovery wasn't there as well. I reflashed it in Rom Manager, and then it worked.
Rom Manager had a problem on Droid 1, where you had to flash the recovery a couple times. I'm hoping that bug doesn't apply to Nexus S as well.
so now its not possible to boot into the recovery ... its 3.0.0.0 or 3.0.0.5 ...
ok i renamed this /etc/install-recovery.sh to /etc/install-recovery.sh.sav now the update seems to work ...
Hi guys,
For the last 2 nights I´ve been trying to get a CG Mod 6.1 on my HTC Magic 32B.
I have rooted it with onclick-root method and tried a bunch of things like ROM Manager and flashing via fastboot (brings up "remote not allow" error). Nothing worked out.
Here are the facts:
HTC Magic with OTA upgrade to 2.2.1
hboot: 1.33.0013
radio: 2.22.28.25
Rooted with Oneclick method
Do I need a goldcard? How do I do that? What hboot Version do I need? What Radio do I need? What do I have to do first?
Are you certain the Root took? Are you seeing the Superuser icon in your app drawer?
When you were using Rom Manager did you flash, or attempt to flash a custom recovery, and if so did it install ok?
What happened when you tried to flash a ROM using Rom Manager?
I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of this
Yes, rooting has worked...Icon is there everything looks fine.
With the Rom Manager i tried to install "update-cm-6.1.0-DS-2708port_S" aswell as the "update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed". Both did not work.
I still can boot to my standard OTA 2.2.1
Try wiping your phone in recovery and then install the rom
hang on a minute...
it sounds like you haven't installed a custom recovery before trying to flash the rom. Can you clarify...have you actually done this yet?
The process should go root/recovery/nandroid backup/rom in that order.
yeah you re right...i dont have a custom recovery
i just tried to load "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img" on the console
su
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
does not work, i get: flash_image: not found
USB debugging is enabelde
3rd party software is enabeled
is there another way to get flash the recovery ?
Rom Manager!
At the top you should have the option to flash clockworkmod recovery. Select that; it will run and then the phone should reboot. I usually do it again to confirm. If it installed correctly the first time you'll get a pop up saying that it is installed.
If all goes to plan select 'backup current rom' from within Rom Manager. This is a nandroid backup and can be re-installed from recovery any time you wish to return to stock.
NOW you are free to install a custom ROM of your choice
Post back if you encounter any issues.
I have tried that. It flashes, gives my a popup that it installed correctly.
But it does not reboot.
When i choose restart in recovery mode it boots up the phone an gets stuck on the vodafone logo. BatteryOut reboot and i am back at the good old 2.2.1 OTA
do i have to wait long?!? cant be, right? do i need to hold down any buttons?
If you try the backup option now you'll soon find out if the recovery did indeed install ok. (it won't backup if the recovery isn't installed)
i restarted...flashed the recovery again. got popup confirmation. then chose backup rom and got stuck at the vodafone logo
You must be pretty frustrated by now. It might be time to start asking for more help in the dev section of the Magic forum HERE.
I hope that somebody has the answer!
Thanks for your help...i ll see if someone else has any ideas.

Are you are aware that the command you need to type will be
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
The command points to the exact file name on your sd card so if you just wrote flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img and the recovery file was not called "recovery.img" it would not know what to look for.
I'm not sure if this is what you have or whether you just copied and pasted from a guide, but I just thought I'd put it out there in case that is the case.
Hope this helps.
Im trying to flash the Clockwork Recovery mod to my sidekick but every time I boot in recovery I keep getting the stock recovery screen. First of all I rooted my phone using the latest version of SuperOneclick Root. Once the phone was rooted I installed both root explorer and rom manager.
I downloaded the modified binary recovery file and replaced it in system/bin using Root Explorer. I used Rom manager to flash the CWM and it supposedly intalled it (it says version 4.0.0.2). I tried to reboot on recovery but it doesnt boot the CWM recovery screen. I the tried donwloading the CWM and placing the update.zip file in the root of my SD card. I then rebooted into recovery and selecte reintall packages and i get the following:
E: signature verification failed.. installation aborted?
Im guessing its the binary recovery file that's causing the problem but I've tried replacing the file again and it wont work. Anyway, does anyone have any idea whats going on and how I can successfully install the clockwork recovery mod??
Yes that would say that it isn't using the correct modded recovery binary. use my modded oneclickroot script to push the correct recovery and update, and it should work.

Thank you so much it worked like a charm!! One question, every time I boot in recovery now, it boots in the stock recovery. In order to boot CWM i have to select reinstall packages every time is this normal??
Currently that's normal. I've got the same thing on mine.

Yes that CWM is a fake flash and doesn't actually replace your stock recovery so you would have to reinstall packages everytime, unless you flash bali kernel which has the red CWM that replaces the stock recovery when you boot into recovery mode
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
EDIT: sniped by ayoteddy.
That is normal, as that script uses the "fake flash" instead of having CWM built into the kernel.
A fake flash technique uses a modded recovery binary that doesn't check for signature verification, allowing us to boot into CWM from a stock looking recovery, even on a stock kernel.
In order to have recovery boot straight to CWM, you need to have it built into the kernel, which currently only exists on the Bali kernel (as there's no need to build it for another kernel).
Hi guys
I have religiously followed the steps needed to install cwm. i.e. I downloaded the nitro.. bootstrap -> then on recovery reboot installed the J.Y. Daddy Global cwm zip as well -> then denied superuser permissions to bootstrap. This is all shown in http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1511616.html - I just wanted the first two steps...
However after doing these when I reboot my phone it does not boot into cwm. It just boots into the stock recovery thing. I dont understand what I did wrong or whether this is a unique case for some reason.
I was thinking of allowing superuser access to bootstrap and then reinstalling the JY Daddy cwm but I don't know if this is safe? And I dont want to go thru the pain of bootloop.... I havent touched it coz I thought would ask the experts what the way to go about this is...
I really want cwm recovery as the I was stuck on bootloop earlier and the process to flash to stock and recover everything was extremely painful. I do want to try another rom but of course cmw is needed before I dare try and end up worse than I started...
Thanks!
Please help if anyone knows a solution...

This may sound simple but did you hit "bootstrap recovery" when you first opened bootstrap?
Yes I installed the JY daddy after I did the reboot recovery through bootstrap.

Ok thanks for letting me know that bootstrap is safe to reenable su permissions - i just hope this does not conflict with cwm if it was successfully installed the first time..

it could be as simple as rebooting again. I think it takes 1 full cycle before it actually sticks.
Just did it again. Rebooted. Granted permission to bootstrap then reinstalled JY Daddy and then denied su permissions to bootstrap and rebooted and no cwm recovery came up

Reinstall bootstrap, hit 1st button, then 2nd, reinstall cwm on boot (global), then reboot, deny su to bootstrap when it asks, then reboot again.. should stick then.. then you can uninstall bootstrap app if you don't want it.

Just did that i.e. reinstalled bootstrap and then cwm and rebooted 3 times but still nothing...this is truly puzzling...
I had a problem with cwm not sticking on stock 2.3.6 and it was because there was init support. I had to flash an init zip to get it to stick.

Ok so basically can you tell me if this is what i should do:
1. grant su to bootstrapper.
2. reboot in bootstrapper recovery.
3. Flash the init zip thing you linked me to. (also are you sure this will work on atrix 2 coz it doesnt mention in the link - also is it the cwm file or it is something else to enable me to install JY Daddy??)
4. Now install JY Daddy.
5. Deny su to bootstrapper
6. Reboot.
Is that right? Problem here is I dont really know what init means...
Yes, it's for Atrix 2. Boot into recovery, flash the init zip with cwm, reboot, deny su in the bootsrapper, and install jydaddy.

Are you sure this "stock recovery thing" is not simply recovery? It looks pretty stock and basic... though it says clockworkmod recovery somewhere on the screen... if it stops somewhere besides just straight booting to your homescreen, that most likely is cwm recovery mode...
