Root went fine. I installed Rom Manager and flashed CWM straight away, but I can't access recovery. I've tried through RM and adb, but it just gets stuck at the white screen with the htc logo. I deleted PG05IMG from the SD card.
Any ideas?
Did you give Rom Manager permissions in Super User? It asks for it at the very end, maybe if you weren't paying attention you could have missed it? If you open Rom Manager where it says "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" It should say in small letters underneath it what the current recovery is. Does it say that the current recovery is ClockworkMod 3.1.0.2?

Yeah, the first time I tried to flash it, it gave me a privileges error, but the second time it worked. It says the current recovery is CWM. TitaniumBackup even says that root/busybox is ok, so that's not the problem.
Just flash it over again.
Open RomManager settings and select "Erase Recovery".
Hit menu in RomManager and select "Clear DL Cache" (so it will DL the recover image again).
In a good data area select "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery" again (you can do it a second time to make sure if flashed if you want, doesn't matter).
Sometimes even if RM says it successfully flashed it didn't.
Edit:

I've rooted my Vibrant, and am ready to flash the BionixFinal_R1_Stock.zip with ROM Manager (Clockwork Mod Recovery), but first I'm supposed to do a nandroid (complete) backup, and I cannot. It doesn't work like they say it will.

The blue text recovery is stock recovery, here you select "reinstall packages", and this flashes the update.zip that should be on your sd card, back when you were in rom manager and selected "flash clockwork recovery" rom manager puts this file on your phone, leave it there. Anyways, when you reinstall packages in stock recovery, your phone may reboot, to stock recovery again, select reinstall packages again and you should now be in clockwork, you can tell by the expanded menus and green text. It should say clockwork recovery at the bottom as well.

Sorry if I've posted so much that my question got lost:
What should I do if ROM Manager won't do a nandroid backup for me, before I flash a new ROM?
[ ] Ignore the problem and proceed to flash the new (Bionix) ROM
[ ] Give up and live with a phone that freezes, delays, and is great the rest of the time?
[ ] Other (please explain)
Try performing the Nandroid backup from CWM Recovery instead of ROM Manager.
1.) Boot into CWM Recovery either via ROM Manager, adb reboot recovery, or using the hardware buttons.
2.) If you are at the stock 2e recovery (blue text) select reinstall packages.
3.) CWM Recovery will be loaded and you should be at the CWM Recovery (green text). If not repeat step 2.
4.) Select backup and restore.
5.) Select backup
6.) CWM Recovery will proceed to perform a Nandroid backup. After it finishes reboot your phone
Turns out that, after I thought I'd tried everything, correctly, I archived a file called update.zip, thinking it was causing a problem. Turns out that CWM Recovery is actually in update.zip. When I put it back ... Voila! Found this on a tip from the author of a very nice, alternate tutorial on rooting/flashing:
http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Samsu...resent-Tired-of-all-the-2-2-hoopla/m-p/607377

I had the same problem.
what i did not understand was that in order to apply the ClockWorkMod you have to install it from the normal recovery. It is not installed after you have downloaded it in the Rom Manager. (the update.zip file will be on your SD card if you have downloaded CWM in Rom manager)
So.. go to normal recovery mode (press up-volume + Power) and select "apply update.zip" (wording may vary).
Now you will be able to use CWM and backup \o/.. hope this helps.
Rooted you only get Blue recovery download "ROM manager" as stated
1) Open ROM manager first option should be "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" pick it! Up at top you should see green progress bar as it downloads.
2) Second option should be "Reboot into Recovery" , pick it!
3) In Blue recovery pick "reinstall packages"
***At this point phone should reboot into Green recovery***
- You may need to repeat these steps until you get Green recovery. I just had to do it like 3-5 times b4 my phone booted into Green recovery. In Green recovery you should have the option to Backup now. Create nandroid and move on.
(Tip: Nandroid backups are stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup..... Nandroids are default named as the date and some other numbers for example 26042011xxxxxxx It can get confusing if you do multiple nandroid backups I personally rename them all to whatever ROM that particular nandroid is along with the firmware type at the end. Example of one of mine: Bionix1.3.1TBv3FW2.2. Bionix1.3.1 is the ROM / TBv3 is the kernel / FW2.2 is the firmware.)
4) Once you get into Green recovery you should now have the option to "apply sdcard:update.zip" pick it!
*** At this point the phone should have Red recovery. You may need to go into "advanced" and pick "reboot recovery" either way this should get you into Red recovery where you should be doing all flashes. Good luck!

The yellow text moves quick, but it looks like it says 'replacing stock with Clockwork Mod Recovery'. I don't see the progress bar fill up. I see 'Vibrant' again
I'm pushed back to the ASR 3e screen and hit 'reboot system now'. The phone reboots.
When the phone is done rebooting, I try holding the power button to see if the CWR options are on the shutdown menu, they're not.
If I go into ROM Manager and hit 'Install ROM from SD card', the phone reboots and takes me to the ASR 3e screen.
I'm obviously missing something. When I first started playing with my phone, I found a how-to that listed some root steps. I had CWR working at one point, but had to flash back to stock.
Thanks for the help,
I kind of figured it out. I used odin to flash back to 2.1 (and subsequently Android Recovery 2e). After this, I reran the above instructions and CWR installed.
After I flash back to 2.1, I can't find ROM Manager in the market?

instead of "reboot system" try hitting "re-install packages again and possibly a 3rd time if it takes you back to the stock recovery again. by the third time (always the second for me) it should go into Clockworkmod recovery.
also I always use this method instead of ROM manager from s15274n's guide found here
"B: Download this update.zip file to flash CWR... you will need to flash a custom ROM for Root. I prefer this method."
you'll need to download the file onto your internal sd card.
then boot to recovery holding volume up + down + power
then hit re install packages, and then hit reinstall packages again (and once more if needed)
once your in clockworkmod recovery you should be ok to reboot and you'll be rooted with CWM recovery
s15274n's guide is really good and worth a read for things like this.
its always good to keep handy

I've spent my entire day trying to flash a recovery image on my streak to no avail. I've rooted it using the super one click, have superuser on my device, along with clockworkmod.
I've confirmed my device is rooted using z4root.
I've tried flashing the recovery via clockwork, it says it was successful, yet when I reboot to recovery, I always end up in the regular OS, like all it did was reboot. Furthermore, trying to manually get there, holding down the buttons, tells me that the stanard recovery wasn't actually overwritten. When I go through fastboot and flash it that way, both computer and streak tell me that everything was successful. Yet, the recovery was still not overwritten.
My end goal is to put Steve's ROM on the streak, but I can't even get the recovery overwritten with clockworkmod.
I have a Dell Streak OEM:340. Thats the locked ATT version, which I think might be a part of the problem.
How do I end up with Steve's rom?
Sounds like you are using ROM manager? That does not work well with the Streak. See this article. ROM manager may actually flash your recovery, but does not work to start the phone in that mode.
You can flash the recovery image to your phone in fastboot mode. Here is a tool to help.
You get to fastboot mode by starting the Streak while holding the camera and power buttons at the same time. Then select fastboot from the top right of the screen and plug your phone into your computer. You will need the Dell drivers for this.
Also be aware that you need to rename install-recovery-sh to something else to prevent the stock recovery from being installed when the phone restarts. It's in the folder /etc. You have to use root explorer or an alternate method to do this, but it requires root.
I am using a ROM manger, but if that doesn't work as well, I'll stop.
I've been fastbooting it the majority of the time, flashing the ROM, but it says I've done it correctly, even though I obviously haven't. So far, all I know is that it's been rooted, and the recovery flashed via fastboot.

Have you renamed the install-recovery.sh file so that the custom recovery won't be replaced by the stock recovery when you reboot? If not - do so.
Make sure that the Streakdroid rom you want is in the root of the SD Card along with the install.txt file.
If you can get into fastboot mode and connect to your computer I suggest using MultiRecoveryFlasher Streakmod recovery. You can reboot the phone from there also.
When you reboot you want to get to recovery mode. Turn your phone off then press the power button tile the leds light up and as soon as they do hold down BOTH volume buttons. See this gallery for what Streammod recovery should look like. Selecting the #2 option will take you to the streakmod recovery options. You use the "apply sdcard:update.zip" to install the ROM.
See the release thread for the ROM you are installing for more info and post any problems or questions you have with the ROM in that thread.
I have not renamed the install-recovery.sh file. in fact, haven't seen one through the process. To be honest, I'm not sure this part has been done at all by me. How do I go about doing that?
Furthermore, choosing the second option in recovery doesn't give methe streakmod options, it just tells me everything will be erased (stock Dell recovery). How do I make sure that this gets corrected?
For the record, marvin02, thank you thus far for the amount of help you've been giving me.

The file install-recovery.sh is a script that runs each time your phone is started. It will replace a custom recovery (streakmod) with the stock recovery when your phone starts, so the next time you enter recovery mode you are back at the stock recovery.
If you are going to dstay with a stock ROM, but want a custom recovery you have to rename the file. The easiest way (IMO) is to use Root Explorer which is an app you have to buy. You just open root explorer and the open the folder named etc and find install-recovery.sh long pres on it to get a menu to pop up and then select rename.
You don't have to do that to get a streakdroid rom installed if you enter recovery without letting the phone restart first.
Put the streakdroid rom file and the install.tx on the root of your SD card
Turn your phone off
Turn phone on in fastboot mode (camera and power buttons at the same time)
Use this tool to to flash the recovery you want
Using the same tool you can reboot the phone
As the phone reboots (wait for the leds to turn on just like they do when you restart the phone) hold down BOTH volume buttons to enter recovery. If you let the phone boot normally and you have not renamed install-recovery.sh the custom recovery will be over written.
Select option 2 and you should be taken to the streakmod options (images here)
Select apply sdcard:update.zip from the recovery menu
There will be two options on the next screen, select the one that lets you navigate to/select a file and then select the ROM file you put on your SD Card.
The ROM should install, be patient when it reboots it can take a few minutes.
Sorry but I am totally new to android and on how to install it in my TP. But, I was successfully running Cyanogenmod for sometime now until I thought of installing TWRP in my TP instead of CWM as installing nightly updates was becoming difficult for me.
I tried to install twrp through gooManager so that I would have both the option of Clockworkmod and twrp. SInce twrp is a better ui, I thought of using it instead of ClockworkMod.
So, I went to their site: teamw.in/project/twrp2/75
and followed the following:
Install the app and open it. Tap menu then hit Install OpenRecoveryScript. Tap Yes. Verify that the filename displays your device's code name and hit Yes. The file will download and your device will reboot and install the recovery automatically.
By doing so, it did not reboot but while I tried to reboot myself, I saw that the ClockWorkMod menu is gone from moboot and I have no recovery option left. The menu has 'Boot TWRP' but when selecting that, it says corrupt data and my TP hangs.
Please guide me in getting CWM back or get the TWRP.
Please help!!! Thanks in anticipation.
You can't have 2 recoveries installed. Try reinstalling from Goo Manager. Let it run until it notifies you that it's finished.
Ran it again
Thanks, I ran it again and it downloaded completely and at the taskbar it says, 'Invalid MD5 sum' and it did not reboot by itself.
What should I do next?
Try un installing the app from the website and installing goo manager from the play store. It's always worked for me.
Thanks....
do you mean uninstalling the GooManager(goo.im) after going to PlayStore where I see 2 options: Open and Uninstall, click on 'Uninstall'?
And the installing it back again?
Sorry, but I am a beginner.... please pardon for my dumb questions!
Yes. And make sure that goo manager identifies your tablet correctly.
Thanks but how do I know if the gooManager that I reinstall identifies my tablet correctly?
I might be thinking of another app, but I thought that the app shows a pop up stating what hardware it detected.

youre thinking of Rom Manager. if you really want to have an all in one rom app im telling you Rom Toolbox Pro is the awesome. there isnt another app ive found yet that can do what it does. too much stuff to list. but heres some screen shots that are relevant to this thread.

I use Rom Toolbox ,it does everything .And you can use the lite version .
Hi,
I had to uninstall CM9 using ACMEUninstaller and had to reinstall all these again.
Luckily, I had a backup from 12-26-12 which I used to restore my TP.
Can I retry using 'Install OpenRecoveryScript' from gooManager again? Would it install TWRP2.3 now?
Please note that I am still using CWM.
Do I have to update my gooManager? When I go to PlayStore, it does not have any option of Update, just has 'Open' and 'Uninstall' which leds me think that I have the latest gooManager. Am I right?
yes if you re-flashed cm9.......download GOO and install TWRP again...should be good to go, TWRP will replace CWM in moboot.........also when you go to the playstore, tap the 3 dots on the top right of your T.P. screen and select settings then put a checkmark in "Auto Update app's":.....
p.s., after installing TWRP i would suggest making a new Nandroid back-up........
I don't think I'm a noob....I had Froyo running on my TP2 for a while back in the day but am stuck on getting my Sprint GS3 on stable Cyanogen.
My device is rooted and I have ROM Manager v5.5.2.3 installed from the Play Store.
I click on Recovery Setup and selected the ClockworkMod Recovery under the 'Install or Update Recovery' option.
The Recovery shows my d2spr device and I leave the Touch set to off.
The Recovery makes it through all 100 items and looks like it completes but then I get "An error occurred while flashing your recovery."
I don't know if that's because it may be already installed.
If so, under 'Recovery Already Installed' I select my device and it asks to confirm version: ClockworkMod 2.x or ClockworkMod 3.x+.
I selectg the 3.x+ and the message that ROM Manager has been set up to use my existing recovery installation.
I click Reboot into Recovery and click OK on the prompt to reboot into recovery mode but nothing happens.
When I manually go in to recovery it's the standard <3e> recovery and I don't have the install from SD card option.
What the heck did I goof up....
Any advice is appreciated.
