You may have the wrong version of CWM recovery installed. You need Tiamat v3.2.0.0 R4c. If you are trying to flash thru Rom manager it may have had you update to v4.0.0.4 which is not compatible with the external sdcard. If this is the case, re-install the correct recovery version, and then redo your backup so that it is on the external sdcard where it can be safe if you need to wipe/factory reset. You can use Rom manger just to reboot into recovery, or df Quick Boot from the market and use that instead.
Good luck!

Rom manager says it is 4.0.0.4 but when in recovery is say CWM recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm or Tiamat v3.2.0.0 R4c ( I don't remember exectly) and the error is the same.
Also, I tried reflash recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.zip from the SD card and get an error.
I really don't have a clue of what to do.
Any help would be welcome.

The problem is that you can't flash anything from the external sdcard with v4.0.0.4. In rom manager, see if you can find"all clockwork recoveries" and find 3.2.0.0. If not, find 3.0.2.8 or 3.0.2.5 and flash one of them, preferably the latest of those I have listed. I think those will at least recognize your sdcard. If you can't do that, you will need to reflash the correct recovery the same way you did when you rooted. Remember, never flash a zip file through adb.
Good luck!
I tried to flash recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img via adb.
I could flash boot sector. Then I reboot into recovery and try to apply zip from card with file update_US-Xoom-WiFi-3.2-HTJ85B-from-HMJ37_stachre_solarnz-boot-img_v05.zip, but there is a NO at the end of the name of the file and I can't go on.
Trying to rename as update.zip and run apply zip from card results in same error:
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
what should I do?
Thank you
possible bad download... download again... also, don't think this would be an update... leave it as originally named, just choose the option to choose which zip file to install from the sd card

It sounds like you are flashing recovery ok, but you keep overwriting it with the stock recovery.
Here is some important information that should help a lot with making your new recovery "stick"and this was taken from the Idiot's guide to flashing...in the Development section, and originally written by publicanimal:
4. Install recovery image (CWM)
Download the recovery image file and save it to your computer
Boot into flash mode with 'adb reboot bootloader'
Install your downloaded recovery image
C:\Documents and Settings\Anders> fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
Restart the device with 'fastboot reboot'. Timing is essential here, so be alert when the device restarts, or you will have to redo this section
Enter CWM with the following procedure
Once the Motorola logotype is shown, start counting to 3. At 3, press the Volume Down button. This should result in the text 'Android Recovery' in the top left corner. If it does not work, experiment with the timing ...
When 'Android Recovery' is shown press the Volume Up button. This should invoke the CWM recovery menu. If that works, then congratulations for reaching this far .
Here is a potential pitfall. If you are unable to enter CWM *before* the device boots into Honeycomb, then the newly installed recovery image will be overwritten by the system default recovery. If that happens, or if you see "starting fastboot protocol " your timing wasn't right and you need to reflash the recovery image and try it again.
See original post,below for more information.

Bored with stock eclair? Want to install froyo(or custom rom) on a60?But confused with all methods???[/COLOR]
So you are at right place.
Today i will tell you how to install custom recovery on a60 and flash a custom rom.
First of all, you have to download a rom from following available roms for a60:-
1). Jet rom 2.2(froyo) 'rolling out soon'
2). Jet rom 2.1(froyo)
3). Cyborg rom 2.1(froyo)
4). Freek rom v3(froyo) 'rolling on 25 may.'
5).Freek rom v2(froyo)
6).kul rom v1,2 (froyo)
7). Sense rom(eclair)
8). Ice cream sandwich rom(eclair)
Disclamer: Not comparing roms at all.
STEP - 1
:First step in installing custom rom is rooting your a60.
Before it, you should know, what does rooting means?
“Rooting” your device means obtaining “superuser” rights and permissions to your Android’s software. With these elevated user privileges, you gain the ability to load custom software (ROM’s), install custom themes, increase performance, increase battery life, and the ability to install software that would otherwise cost extra money (ex: WiFi tethering). Rooting is essentially “hacking” your Android device.
You install software "root and me" from play store to know more about rooting.
For rooting a60, you should install software universal androot from:-
http://www.4shared.com/android/O-aYPeg8/Universal_Androot_162_beta_5.html
Open androot and then click on go root..
wuhu, your device will be rooted

Now, next step is installing busybox.
Download app "busybox installer" from play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&hl=en
STEP - 3
Now, download clockworkmod 5, made by ngage_me fo our device from:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559347
Dont forget to click thanks on thread.
STEP - 4
Now download recovery manager from:-
http://android.podtwo.com/recoverymanager (click on RecoveryManager_v0.37b.zip) amd extract zip and install apk normally.
this will help you to install custom recovery.
Now follow this picture guide:-[
1.Click on recovery in app menu.
2.There click on install recovery.
wait for some time, while app search for all .img files on your sd card.
3.Then click on recovery image name of ngage_me, you downloaded earlier.
4.Let app install recovery when installing comes and then message will come
"current recovery: unrecognised"
5.Now click on reboot into recovery in app.
And you will be in recovery after some time.
*If device is stuck on micromax logo for more than 4 minutes, take battery out, and switch on phone normally. Then repeat step 1-5 for installing recovery. It will work foresure.
STEP - 5
Now you are booted in clockworkmod 5.
Now next question comes, How to use recovery and flash a rom?
First thing to do in recovery is to go to "backup and restore option" and then click on backup your current rom and data. If any thing goes wrong, then this backup(nandroid) will help you to get phone in state it was before.
You can restore this backup from "backup and restore option"
(Make sure you have 300 mb free in sdcard for backup.)
Then, in main menu, click on wipe data before flashing custom rom.
After that, go to "install zip from sdcard" and then choose zip(flashable rom/zip). and let it finish.
When message "zip installation completed" will come, reboot your android(may take 5-10 minutes), and congratulations you are in froyo.

Your point added in thread.
Your new CWM for 2012 sold a60's is not working, i flashed it, & its not showing up while pressing the power+home combination (maybe it's erasing the recovery partition, but not extracting in it), by the way i tested it on a new a60, maybe a week's old, flashed it using the busy box -> recovery manager method..& it's running the stock eclair..
..Another hing i noticed and is worth sharing, the old stock recovery (for a60s manufactured before 2012) also does'nt work the way it's supposed to, it shows up, but can't initiate a wipe or apply any signed update.zip..
..We all our counting on you!!, keep up your good work!! by the way, count on my support in the form of thanks and tesings..

Btw, recovery is made by ngage_me.
But thing you, it doesn't initate a wipe is not dependent on recovery, it depends on rom you are flashing.
And second thing, there's no way to sign rom till now for recovery, even if you will flash rom through stock recovery, it will not be flashed.
Hey Bro I am having some issue flashing Jet 2.1. I have rooted the device, installed the busy box, flashed the modded recovery. When the reboot the phone in recovery mode, it does goes in the recovery mode but shows the a log "E: Failed to find cache partition to mount at "/cache"
E:Cant mount/cache/recovery/last_log
E:cant open/cache/recovery/last_log

But I cannot get CM12 to install. If I boot the phone using stock recovery I can see and select the CM12 zip file but I get the 'Signature verification failed' error. If I use CWM recovery where I can toggle signature verification on and off, it's like it can't even see my SD card. Even though it says that the current directory = /sdcard it isn't, and instead just shows everything on the device internal memory.
Can anybody help? I've been stuck with this for about 8 hours.
I've also tried installing TWRP recovery. This does at least see my SD card and let me choose the CM12 zip file, but when I press the 'FLASH NOW' button, it asks me if I'm sure I want to reboot to recovery and complete the specified actions then does absolutely nothing when I select 'OK'.
Having spent hours trying various different things, I've made some progress and can now at least get CWM to see my SD card and the CM12 zip file. Unfortunately the installation fails with an error 7. I've deleted all of the 'getprop' entries from the 'updater-script' but it's made no difference. Please can someone help?
Thanks to the overwhelming support and advice received on here I managed to get it working
I'm posting this in case anybody else happens to have the same problem and finds this thread. This is what worked for me:
1. Download and install Odin
2. Flash stock ROM
3. Flash rooted kernel (I used one with CWM pre-installed)
4. Update CWM to v 6
5. Perform factory reset
6. Wipe cache
7. Wipe Dalvik cache
8. Install CM12
9. Install Google apps
