flashed cwm recovery through rom manager on LG L3..if i uninstall rom manager will it affect cwm recovery..means will it remove cwm recovery..????

It will not delete the recovery but then without Rom manager you have to do cwm manually
we should polite enough to press thanks for everyone helped uS..
you are dead when you stop learning new things..

It won't affect the recovery, as stated above. I only use Rom manager to flash the recovery for me, then I uninstall it and everything is manual from then on.
I don't trust it. My first experience with it was a bootloop and back when I was a noob, I got so freaked out. It's also better to get used to manual recovery work because if you can't boot into the system one day, then you gotta boot into recovery and fix it yourself

Stock recovery starts instead of clockwork

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.

You have to select reinstall packages, and it will go to the blue recovery again, then press reinstall packages again and clockwork should boot up everytime.
So i just have to keep on reinstalling packages until cwm works?? I think i will lose my superuser etc.. What zip file do i have to put on my intrnal card?

Once u are rooted you done need update.zip for root
What if i already rooted my phone using super one click root on my froyo 2.2? Do I still have to update? By update.zip?

After you used super one click root, delete that update.zip file that it places in your internal memory.
Then download rom manager, click flash clockwork-mod recovery and it should say boot into the blue recovery. In there click reinstall packages, and if it takes yiu to the blue screen again, click reinstall packages one more time and you should boot into clockwork from now on.
Ok thank you master and slave one more question do I still have to install the unzip thing from my internal sd? Or not a any more?

Since you are on 2.2, you need the modified 3e recovery. Then you should be able to get into CWM.
Or you can just use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509 and Odin back to 2.1 and not have any issues updating your ROM.
Reading all the guides helps alot with these questions.

The method I was giving you was for 2.1
Its easier to root from 2.1.
But the thread above should help
Another route around 3e recovery is to use a Voodoo kernel, because those have CWM baked right in. I recommend this because for whatever reason I couldn't get modded 3e recovery working.

Problem flashing clockworkmod recovery

Hello,
I have just rooted my phone and am now attempting to get a custom recovery on it. After rooting, I downloaded rom manager and selected flash clockworkmod. A message came up and said it was successful, however when I try booting into recovery it goes to the stock android recovery. Any idea on what I am doing wrong would be helpful.
Thanks
Your problem is that you can't install CWM via ROM manager. The success message you saw was that it downloaded an update.zip file properly, nothing more. ROM Manger is also completely worthless for our phones.
How should I go about flashing clockwork then?

RomRacer vs. Rom Manager vs. Touch CWM

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.

[Q] How do i intall a new recovery when i have already intall the rom manager one?

First of all im a noob so please bear with me, i have just bought my I9300 and i wanted it rooted like everyone else, i followed the steps, everything was sunshine and rainbows, the intallation was succesful and my device was rooted until i intalled rom manager and it intalled his own recovery and it is not working properly, now i want to get ride of that and intall one that works. PLEASE HELP, i dont want to brick my device.
When you installed rom manager it installed clockwork mod. (cwm)
You use this recovery instead from now on.
You can backup your rom or flash a new one or flash a modem or kernel..
There are loads of guides on this check one out if your not sure what to do..
Good luck
