no
use CWM to make your backups
How do i boot directly to CWM ? I thought Rom manager just automated via CWM.

adb reboot recovery
app called quickboot
rom manager reboot to recovery
3 finger salute
using the backup from rom manager facilitates a script to boot and backup
with samsungs recovery, and the implementation we have of cwm....just boot into recovery and do it from there

So I just tried to reboot to recovery, and got an "!" and then went to blue CWM, but then when I try to restart phone it's just putting me into blue recovery, and I can't seem to access any of the settings, and when I click anything I just get the hat icon. What's going on?
use the home button instead of the power button to make your selection

Go to the market and download "Reboot Recovery" a free app.
Then there will be no need to use rom manager.
All this app does is reboots you into cwm recovery and nothing else.
Just one click on the app's icon is all it takes.
Here is the link for "reboot recovery" http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/reboot+recovery
You can also just hold the power button and select reboot recovery
if you are running any of the custom roms here in XDA.
Good luck!

Yeah I'm just using the one touch quick-boot widget to go to CWM Recovery.
I'm running stock rooted with the cXXXX kernel (forgot his name) .. I haven't ventured out to other roms yet as I don't want to have to re-setup all my icons and apps, lol, lazy me

It more or less a very good replacement for Rom Manager and its fully compatible with our new phones.
You really should not use rom manager anymore or you will have problems :
At least forget about rom manager until they fix it to be really compatible
with our newly aquired wonder phones

ROM Manager ...
Ok, just re-flash the kernel containing the CWM recovery mode you want to have.
P.S.: I am running on RedPill kernel and the red recovery mode is also nice ;-)
But it is your decision to take the blue pill. And everything will stay as it is now.

I installed to factory firmware than flashed with kernel that used to give me blue but now it just still gives me the orange? What do?

Don't use Rom Manager/CWM together, I.E use/install one or the other. Rom Manager is notorious for breaking CWM and/or causing bootloops. Install one & stick to use it if you want to avoid problems. If you want to use CWM, uninstall Rom Manager.

Sony devices has no in built recovery like that of Samsung's. Only CWM is available once its rooted, search for CWM auto installer in Play Store.

Have you installed busybox?
You must download busybox installer from STericsson
You must install latest busybox inside the app.
Best way to get recovery is when your mobile boots at that time a blue or purple led will blink just after boot logo at that time just press vol+ or vol- key only once or twice it will lead you to cwm recovery

Hi!
I'm not sure I understand how to install recovery. When you say CWM you mean the Rom Manager app from play store, right? I try to install recovery with Rom Manager but it says device unsupported. What should I do?
Thanks in advance!

Download xparts from appstore. Cwm means the recovery clock work mod recovery. Rom manager is just an app interface for it. Also cwm isn't officially supported in our device

WTH. Aroma is not a recovery, it is a filemanager "flashed" from and running within recovery. Absolutely no idea what are you talking about here. If you "flashed" Aroma, surely you have a working recovery, so flash a different recovery from your current one.

;( ... oh no...!! i tried to flashed cwm recovery over AmonRa recovery using rom manager, and maybe this wasn't a good decision...
now i have latest cwm 5.0.2.7 but i think there is something seriously wrong.. when i boot into recovery, some weird things appear for 1-2 sec... moreover, while in recovery, my setting button became 'down' button, home button became 'up button' and search button became the 'ok' button...
i think something wrong is gonna happen with my optimus one.

Recently got a used Galaxy Note i717,went to install the ICS update but it would not update thriough KIES.Find out the previois owner had rooted it so I just install the stock ICS firmware manually following a guide I foiund.One problem,when I hold down POWER + VOL.UP I dont get tge screen that lets you wipe cache and what not.
Phone seems to be.working fine so far,been using it a couple days but what happens when I want to install a custom rom?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
If you put a custom ROM, it will wipe your device, which you have to, for installing a Custom ROM, and all custom ROMs are rooted btw. And yes I stay away from KIES...
You might of lost recovery when you install the ICS firmware. Here is the Super Thread with all the tools and ROMs.>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740367
If you are rooted, I would put the latest TWRP here>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647575
Then just find the custom ROM of your liking and download/install on your device, FTW.
The correct procedure to boot into Recovery is :
Hold power + volume up AND volume down until you feel the phone vibrate THEN release the power button (still holding volume up and down). The phone will then boot into Recovery. It should either be " Clockwork Mod Recovery " or "TWRP". There, you can wipe, install, backup, etc.

Use ODIN to flash the .tar file for the original ics 4.0.4 for at&t if you haven't already.. make sure "repartition" is off.

Thank you,this kind of worked but what showed up was "Android System Recovery <3e>.
Is this Clockwork or TWRP?
The previous owner rooted it but I cant get hold of him to ask him exactly what he did.
Its neither, it's stock recovery.
You have to flash a file from your pc to the phone to replace stock recovery with a custom recovery like CWR or TWRP.

I see.I already have Odin installed and used it to flash the stock 4.04 since it would not update from KIES,will installing CWR or TWRP cause any issues?
No, just get in download mode and flash the TWRP odin file (I prefer TWRP over CWR). Reboot and you will go into recovery. Take a few minutes to make a backup of your rom.

It comes down to personal preference really ...
As CWM does a fine job as a recovery. But TWRP has many more features for the user, and seems to provide a much better user experience.
TWRP is clearly better supported, without the common outdated "status 7" errors often found in CWM.
Up to you obviously, but it's TWRP for me ....g
^^^^^ well said, Sarge. I was a CWR user for ten phones and tablets, but I tried TWRP on this phone. Its the bomb-diggity.
Hello, I have safestrap and I have it saying that it's installed, but when I reboot into recovery it just does the normal process. I've also tried booting directly into recovery, and it just reboots its self back into normal boot.
Any ideas?
It should show up everytime you do a normally reboot or power on your phone.
I have never used the power menu to reboot into recovery but I'm thinking that is what you are doing instead of just doing a normal reboot.

It sounded like you had it working and it suddenly stopped working. If you took the OTA to MJ7, yeah, you're stuck.
