Hi,
I have a rooted defy+ with 2ndinit installed and I'd like to install clockworkmod to back up my stock gingerbread.
Is it possible and safe to do it?
Thanks

The 2nd-init you installed already have clockworkmod bundled and you're ready to use it for backup.

How I can use CWM recovery and ROM Manager?
I installed the newest 2ndinit and all works fine, but - by me - it's not CWM recovery
Is there any chance to use this program? It is much more convenient.
Press the volume Button down while the blue led lights up in the booting process
Then go to recovery = Clockwork
I know how i can get info Android Bootmenu...
In menu "Recovery" option "[Custom recovery]" boots my Defy+ into "CyanogenDefy Recovery v5.0.3.1" and it's not look like CWM.
Anyway, even if it is clockwork, ROM Manager not detect it. Any solution?
Hey, rom manager isn't defy compatible, that's why the workaround, and yes, it's cwm, exactly as on open bootloader devices only other entrance!

Everything's been smooth so far in regards to my vibrant modification but I noticed something today that might cause problems in the future
Im running stock rom with kingxkernel 3 and ryans oclf
I can get into clockwork recovery through rom manager without a problem (that's how I've been doing it) but if I go into recovery mode using the hardware keys it brings me to the stock recovery..any suggestions? ??? I know in the very beginning I had to choose reinstall packages and then it showed up but I was afraid to do that again before asking in case it screws up my phone

clockwork recovery doesn't replace stock recovery on the vibrant.
If you manually enter recover, you have to do the "reinstall packages" part in the stock recovery which will then load the clockwork recovery.
Oh okay thanks for the reply!

yes, you still need the clockworkmod recovery file (aka update.zip) in order to load clockworkmod recovery.
Ok, i rooted last night with SuperOneClick (psneuter) and I installed ROM Manager and flashed the Vibrant Recovery.. But now I can't access CWM, i just go into stock recovery. any ideas as to why?
Try reflashing it with rom manager, then when you to reboot into recovery you will likely have to select reinstall packages at least once when you boot into your regular recovery. Until you flash a custom rom this is likely the route that you will have to take each time you boot into CWM
Odin back to stock 2.1, then root with eclair guide. Install the update package twice and the blue recovery should turn green.

Hmm odd what stock rom are you using? Ie ka5? Jk2? Etc. If you are running any stock froyo rom then as movieaddict said you will want to Odin back to 2.1 jfd which has 2e recovery instead of 3e, now I know there is a way to modify 3e recovery to make it work like 2e but iI'm not familiar with the process, search the vibrant development section and you should be able to find the mod there

if he rooted using superone click, it's good guess he's running 2.2. Also, if he can't get into CWM (except he hasn't stated it gives him a signature verification error yet), then he's also probably running a 2.2 build.
The easiest way is to use odin/heimdall.
there are 2 options in this path; odin back to 2.1 (jfd) then flash whatever rom you want from there, or odin a 2.2 voodoo kernel (which has cwm built in) and then flash whatever rom you want.
I have bootstrap recovery ..after booting into that i install cwm 5.0.2.7
i can boot into it fine one time if i try again it takes me to stock android 3e rec.
Isnt it actually supposed to permanently flash cwm once u install it from bootstrap? Or is the adb cmd method the permanent method?

You need to be unlocked for it to stick.

i am unlocked i installed bootstrap then installed romracer cwm zip in bootstrap then power off it boots in once then if i wanna go back seems it just goes to 3e stock
I knoe in order to use bootstrap u have to plug into ac usb but for cwm u should just have to hold vol down and power then choose android rec and vol up.. ive done this it boots once into cwm then if i try again its just 3e

Since you are unlocked I would recommend trying to flash your recovery using the method describe in this thread.

It is incredibly easy and if you have any questions I am more than happy to help. This is the method I used and I am now running Joker's rom (link in my sig.)
got a vibrant
had 2.1 rooted
updated to 2.2 via kies
didnt like bloatware and swype version
couldnt root 2.2
downgraded to 2.1 stock and rooted
*not the same 2.1 i had before*
google apps seem out of date and they dont update in market
decided i want a gingerbread rom
cant get clockworkmod recovery flashed using rom manager
downloaded a custom bootloader (green android) and installed
now phone boots but will NOT go into recovery or download mode
trying to get to recovery; green android screen then stock "vibrant" screen loop all day
trying to get into download mode; black then plug in usb and the battery charging comes up and thats it
now i found clockwork file i can flash using odin or heimdall but cant because i got no download mode
what do i do? can i do anything?
phone isnt bricked just no option but normal boot to android
Your key combos changed when you flashed boot loaders. Volume up + power for download mode and volume down + power for recovery

thank you so much! is there a walk through with dl links to get clockworkmod recovery on my device without rom manager?
rom manager downloads it to my phone but doesnt flash.
also rom manager free is not in my market anymore.
another question, what is the most satble, fastest rom with the best features and looks cool?

use option B, have your rom you want to flash on your sd card ready to go
Ok I have a cwm .tar file and I want an ics ROM.....should I just flash the .tar and use cwm to flash the ROM?
Or will that not work?

Watch this video if you want to flash ICS. It has everyting that you are doing right now. THe update.zip, the files you need and a walkthrough. You'll need to download some files to your internal though.
Thanks so much....I kept the same bootloader. Flashed cwm and ics 10.6
It's awesome!
I don't see any of the bugs people are talking about either

Kind of getting lost in the Dev forum stuff, I flash every month or two but am not able to keep up reguarly.
Any reason to NOT use Rom manager? It seems romracers is preferred? Does Rom Manager have to pair with the CWM recovery, or can you flash the romracer recovery through rommanager and do your ROM flashes through rom manager (utilizing romracers recovery).
If that makes any sense haha.
I am currently on wet dream, w/ romracers from about 6-8 weeks ago. Is it possible to:
Install Rom Manager
Flash newest romracer recovery through rom manager via .zip
flash new ROMs via Rom Manager GUI?
Thanks
I personally use touch CWM for every ROM and never had an issue. I am curious too from other recovery users what they think of them.
You should add a poll to the thread to see which recoveries people are using.

Are you current on what recoveries are out there/available and what is working with what?
I'm still not clear on the interface between rom manager (haven't used it) as an app in the GUI and the recovery that we boot into via reboot + power + vol down.
I'll add a poll if I know what to poll

You get the rom manager recovery from the app itself along with the touch one too. Rom racers is in ATRIX development section.

So i guess my question is then, is the rom manager gui front end tied to the rom manager recovery? Or could one install rom manager (app) and use it with the romracer recovery?

If you try to use ROM Manager it will tell you that you need to flash recovery first if you have Romracer's recovery installed, so in essence they can co-exist, (meaning you can use both independant of each other), but to get full ROM Manager functionality you will need to flash the ROM Manager recovery through that app.
My personal preference is Romracer's recovery. Never had any problems with it at all. Touch recovery is too easy to make a mistake by touching the screen in error, and if I remember correctly you cannot backup to external SDCARD with touch recovery or ROM Manager recovery. Can't remember to be sure if that's correct so someone can point out my mistake there, but there are differences which make Romracer's more functional, so I have stuck with it.
