Reading a topic up here, the question just pop-up?
what Goo manager has or is doing different from ROM Manager
I currently use the ROM manager pro (I buy it not because I really use the pro facilities, but to support the developer)
I see the goo manager is free, still beta and use different recovery.
Else?

Goo Manager and TWRP recovery are actively maintained. CWR for the HOS...not so much. I have used CWR for years, but reluctantly switched to TWRP because it's able to flash boot.img on the HOS with S-ON while CWR can't.
Is GooManager DEAD?

GooManager no longer appears to function. It tries to go to a site and finds nothing, why?

Seems not be available anymore. Is there a reason why you need goomanager? For flashing a new recovery is Flashify much better as you can choose between different recovery versions

never heard of odin (im still kinda new), but have you tried rom manager from the market? thats how i updated my clockwork recovery to 3.0.0.7, the newest one. it upgrades clockworkrecovery, flashes roms, and backups roms, and theres a paid and free version (with ads). thats what i used. tell me if this works.

Yes i have rom manager but still not 100% on how it works. Would i save the update i downloaded to my sdcard and then use rom manager to open it and update clockworkrecovery?

to fix anything clockwork scroll to the very bottom of the app, then click flash alternate recovery. Then when its done then click all clockworkmod recoveries right below it, then select 3.0.0.5, and that should fix most/all problems with clockwork anyone has, and give you the newest update. and to get to recovery easier just use mikfroyo v4.4 like i am. when you hold the power button just click options under power off, and click recovery, and it'll open clockworkmod.
note: i did this while i wrote it to double check it still works after i updated it.
and this is all done on my htc evo.
Hi all,
is there any posibility to use ROM Manger with 4ext revcovery?
ROM manager is for clockwork mod. If you use 4ext, there is no need for ROM manager. Btw. 4ext is a lot more functional
Sent my thoughts to your head with XDA App
It true for "recovery". But I would like to use ROM Manager to download "google apps" and ROMs

I think for download purposes you can "fool" the ROM manager choosing "manual Flash Override" in settings menu

You can still use ROM manager to download whatever you want. And flash those files from Recovery. You don't have to have CWM installed for that... downloading stuff is a function of the app, not the recovery. For all recovery related purposes, 4EXT will do just fine... When you choose reboot into recovery, you'll still be taken to 4EXT Recovery.
Go ahead, test it out and post your observations here.
While you can download ROMs through ROM Manager, you cannot perform functions like flash ROMs and reboot to recovery through ROM Manager while using 4EXT recovery. Use the 4EXT Recovery Control App
The reason is that Koush (the guy who made CWM and ROM Manager) used specific code in his app/recovery that enabled them to perform these functions. madmaxx (the guy who made 4Ext) couldn't use this code, as Koush didn't reply to his PM's asking for permission. So, he designed his own app with different code. IMO, it's better and a LOT more functional than ROM Manager

That's right. If you, for some reason, OP still wants to use ROM manager instead of 4EXT Recovery Control, he can use ROM Manager to download whatever he wants, then boot into recovery, and flash the add-ons from recovery. (I understand that's what the OP was asking for... to be able to download ROMs etc using ROM Manager). Foe full control however, i would obviously recommend 4EXT Recovery Control.

digging up a bit of an old thread here but if you were to use rom managers add zip feature to load a chain of say 4 zips to flash would that work and then flash through 4ext. if not does 4ext control have that function?

yup i'm instantly in love with it, it fixed an issue where charging while phone was off automatically booted recovery too
Ok, so i installed rom manager to install CWM, then i used odin to flash CWM touch, and it passed, rebooted phone fine, but when i enter recovery its the stock recovery, not CWM, any idea?
I cannot provide insight on why Odin did not successfully flash the CWM recovery as I have not flashed anything but official software with Odin but I highly reccommend using the app in the playstore called GS3 E Z Recovery to flash a custom recovery (after you have unlocked of course).
This is the cleanest way to do it IMHO.

Because there are two scripts that need to be renamed. They replace the custom recovery with the stock recovery on every reboot. They are
System/recovery-from-boot.p
System/etc/install-recovery.sh
These need to be renamed with
.bak added to the end of them. Then u can flash CWM with odin and it will stick once u boot up.
You can also flash CWM and not let the phone boot up and then mount /system and use adb to rename the files. Whatever works best for you.

Why did you use Odin if you already used Rom Manager? Rom manager will completely take care of recovery for you. Like others, I've only used Odin to go completely back to stock.
Open Rom Manager, and click the top "flash cwm recovery" for the regular version, or even better click the flash cwm touch version (donate like 1.99 I think). Done
And FYI, there are lots of problems with ez-recovery versions....I'd stay away from it for now.....

There's no issues with EZ Recovery that I've run into. Its the EZ-Unlock that the newest versions don't work right, you have to use 1.2.
OP, here's the link to the latest CWM Touch that can be flashed with EZ Recovery(I just did it yesterday and it worked fine) https://www.dropbox.com/s/aqnnl5j8xc2u0ah/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.2-d2vzw.img
I agree with brian, use ez recovery to flash recovery of choice. Stay away from rom manager or any of those apps until you have a better idea of what your doing.
Anyone else getting this issue? I used to be able to, but now I can no longer install custom recoveries.
I purchased the pro version of Rom Toolbox a while ago, and I'm tired of it not being compatible with my recovery (not allowing me to automatically flash roms, etc). Of course Rom Toolbox has an option to download and flash recoveries but it doesn't work any longer. Regardless of what I pick (rom toolbox allows for the download and installation of TWRP, CWR, CWR Touch, and CWR for Rom Toolbox) It always fails when flashing.
I also tried the app "Recovery Manager" which also failed to update my recovery to CWR Touch. It seems that only Rom Manager can update/change my recovery image, which seems very peculiar if you ask me...
Is there any fix to allow Rom Toolbox to flash my recovery successfully? I tried installing one via fastboot, but my computer couldn't detect my phone. (I probably just need to make sure the proper drivers are installed though) but would that really fix my Rom Toolbox issue?
It would be better to be asking the Rom Toolbox dev rather than the Nexus S community. Most people will flash their recovery using fastboot, because that's the always working way.
Disregard wrong thread

You could also use flash image gui... it's a paid app in the play store, but is also available here on xda by the dev

I was able to flash TWRP Recovery via Goo Manager, so now I know that it was an issue with Rom Toolbox and not my phone.
However Rom Toolbox tasks still aren't automatically done when I reboot :/ It looks like the modded CWR for Rom Toolbox isn't up and for whatever reason the newest version of Clockwork mod recovery isn't compatible with rom toolbox, even when rom manager is installed.
Well thanks. Hopefully Rom Manager and Rom Toolbox get things worked out.
So I'm stuck on TWRP 2.5 and GooManager won't download the latest 2.6.3.1. It literally says "Your download is starting..." and it'll just sit there. A lot of people have made the same complaints on the Play Store reviews, etc. Anyways, I'd like the newest Recovery in order to flash Carbon ROM based on 4.3.
What's the easiest way to install the latest CWM Touch recovery? Someone mentioned using Flashify? Also, do I need to do anything in preparation of switching from TWRP to CWM Touch?

If you want, you could use Flashify to flash the TWRP 2.6.3.1 img file. Just download it to your phone where it says "select the latest img file."
If you still want to switch to CWM touch, well you don't need anything except the proper img file and flash it via Flashify. Your nandroid backups are incompatible so you can not use TWRP backups in CWM or vice versa.
