clockworkmod is not available

I have an inspire that I got T-mobile working on it and after I rooted the phone i didn't flash it to a custom rom. So now I want to get ClearDroid in it, but when I tried to go to ROM manager there wasn't a pop-up saying there's an update for clockworkmod recovery.
Now I don't know how to get clockworkmod installed. I've tried looking in the forums for solutions but still no luck. I also want to know if I did something wrong with the rooting.
I would really appreciate the help.

Wel can you tell me what the first entry is in your rom manager? Mine is flash clockwork recovery. Give that a go and see if it works for you.
What root method did you use? I used ACE HACK KIT and if I recall it put a clockwork recovery on my device.

Spark is correct...hack kit does add a clockwork recovery. Start adb and type adb reboot recovery to boot into it. Or, install Droid explorer on your pc and click tools, install custom ROM.

I used Bubby's simple root program. It's weird tho because I first used it on another inspire and I was able to root it and flash it to another ROM. The second time I rooted on a different inspire(the one with the T-mobile) I can't flash it to a different ROM.
I've confirmed with root checker that the phone is rooted and I was thinking if it's advisable if I should root it again.
One more thing when I tried to go into boot mode and there was an orange blinking light. I just took out the battery and got it working again. What I heard is that it could be a sign of semi-bricking the phone.

Might be best to flash back to stock using the RUU in Bubby's one click, however, you may lose the ability to use T-mobile. I'll think about it after I get some sleep.

I was also thinking about flashing back into stock and after that just try to root everything again to work with T-Mobile

Rooted with new baseband

So after reflashing to stock in order to try the new update, I realized that it unrooted my phone. I was kinda down by this but I thought maybe I could reflash cwm in order to flash to a new rom. I ended up flashing cwm successfully without rooting the phone and was able reflash miui and now all of the backups I have are using the new baseband with no issues. The problem I found most people were probably running into when trying to use the LG updater tool is they were not removing the SD card prior to flashing which prevents the update from completing successfully. Just thought I'd share my two cents.

Hmm.. if this is true it would have been nice if they told us to remove the SD card. Unless I missed that somewhere.

I flashed just fine with my SD card in.

It doesn't remove Clockwork mod recovery so just flash a rooted rom. They have the lastest GB stock already rooted in flash form. Just flash and you'll have root back. Easier then trying to root it as I don't think the new GB rom can be rooted yet (could be wrong).
Easier to just flash
LG G2x - CM7.1 RC1 2.3.4

I tried to flash mine with the SD card removed and completely lost my baseband. I had to send my phone back to LG for repair/replacement.

in the directions that were posted by tmonews that were official from LG, the directions state to remove SD card, when you flash the update, it puts it back to the stock recovery, at least it did for me, so when i re-flashed cwm i was able to keep all of my other cwm backups that now have the newest baseband.

Just followed the video this morning to make sure I did the right steps. I got CWM on there but won't give me root.

No issues here with updating and having a sd card installed.
@bow...did you download the rooted rom from xboarder? It is a zip. Install it after using the LG tool and you will be good to go.

[Q] NOOB: How to flash ZEUS to my Infuse?

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong:
a) ATT Infuse Phone is rooted using SuperOneClick;
b) downloaded ES File Explorer and ROM Manager;
c) ZEUS Build 3 zip file is in root folder of my sd card;
d) backed up everything with Titanium Backup;
e) placed the 3e recovery no sig check recovery file into my system/bin folder;
When I try to reboot into CWM recovery, it goes into the "blue" 3e Android recovery. When I install packages, I get an error message.
Then when trying to flash ROM through ROM Manager, I cause a Samsung bootloop, and have needed to flash back to Odin to unbrick my phone.
Is my problem related to the fact I'm flashing from stock froyo? Do I need to change the kernel (not sure what this means) prior to flashing the Rom? Why can't I get the CWM bootloader instead of the "stock" blue Android screen?
thanks in advance - sorry, am a newbie and this isn't my thing.

Is it normal when I flash GTG's community kernel, that my phone starts talking to me and saying something about 10 minutes?? It just scared the #$# out of me, and has been sitting in the Samsung boot screen for a few minutes.
Holy #@$$, that voice is scary. It looks like the kernel worked...

Freaked me out the first time too lol

You need to install the community kernel, then download sgs kernel from the market and install. I had this same problem and this was the answer! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220090
Follow these instructions and make sure you download this http://www.multiupload.com/1E3AWIQYAA if your coming FROM froyo.
Move the file to your internal sd card, then use sgs kernel to install. The sgs was a little tricky, but you'll see the file in there to flash.

Hey thanks for asking DroidNooby! I was searching the forums for "bootloaders" because the Zeus thread said "MUST BE ON GB BOOTLOADERS." All I found was a bunch of people sounding as confused as I was asking "how do i install?"
I was beginning to think it was an inside joke of the Infuse forums lol.

Odin one of the gb leaks (that'll give you boot loaders). Then odin a gb kernel with a recovery. Uncheck reboot before flashing kernel. Then boot up into recovery and flash.

[Q] Alternate way to permanently flash clockwork recovery on g2x?

So I rooted my 2.3.3 g2x through v.2.3.3 superoneclick and was wondering if there's an alternate way to permanently flash clockwork recovery instead of all the APX and NVFlash processing.
So I downloaded ROM Manager from play store and flashed the clockwork recovery (ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0) (specifically for my g2x) and it successfully installed. NOW, what would I do from here if I wanted to permanently install clockwork recovery? (Without the APX NVFlash process) If its even possible? Thanks in advance!

The only way is with NVFlash. It won't flash permanently with ROM Manager.

Plus flashing clockwork mod thru ROM manager is not recommend Ed for this device. If things go south, you can't unbrick your phone.

this can be "unbricked" very easily, soft bricking the phone from rom manager is the simplest way to do so, all you have to do is flash CWM the proper way and flash a rom and you are "unbricked".

There is no other was as one of the fellow members already stated. It's easy if you read the directions.. The hardest thing with this getting your computer to recognize the phone. Make sure you have right lg drivers installed

[Q] Downgrading CWM?

Im unable to root my phone Huawei U8650. Everytime I run the update.zip, it says it is successful, the phone restarts but there is no Superuser app! And when I use the root checker from Google Play, it says that my phone isnt rooted!
My friend at school has the same mobile phone, same carrier, everything the same. He rooted and has put his own custom ROM. But he has CWM 4.0.1.4. and my version is CWM 5.0.2.6
Is there a way to downgrade from CWM 5.0.2.6 to CWM 4.0.1.4?

How you put CWM width no root?
You can downgrade CWM if you put other rom width root premisson.

Witch version stock rom( official ) you have. I think that .zip root file is for GB 2.3.3 but I dont no how you put CWM 5.0.2.6 and you must put Superuser 2.3.5 in your phone after flashing .zip update for root.
