CWR in 2.2

Alright. I'm new to the vibrant community so my apologies in advance for not knowing what I'm doing. I just rooted and I have su access and I have CWR installed. I however can't get the rom manager custom recovery to load when I reboot. What do I need to do? I'm running the 2.2 update from T-Mobile. A simpleton's guide would be nice but I'm just looking for any help I can get. Thanks

Hold down both the up & down volume controls, then hold the power button down until you see the vibrant screen. That should do it.
Let me rephrase that, keep holding the up & down volume controls until you see cwr come up. Your only releasing the power button when you see the vibrant screen. Hope that helps.
Already tried that. It boots into android recovery...not clockwork. Its android recovery version 3e if that helps any

You need the modded 3e recovery in the dev section for cwr

Select reinstall packeges a few times, and/or select reboot into cwr from rom manager

i tried using the modded 3e recovery and i still don't know what I did wrong...should i just look for a way to downgrade to 2.1 and try redoing this the easier way?
when your on recovery press reinstall packages
it will reboot to recovery again
click reinstall packages
now your in a green text recovery.
ta-daa?
Stupid question, but did you enter RM and select to flash a version of CWR? Once it flashes, can you enter CWR via RM?
Yes I did flash certain. I'm going to try again

[Q] How do I boot to Clockwork?

I paid for the premium version of Clockwork mod, I just rooted and unlocked the bootloader on my phone and I was curious on how I get my phone to boot into clockwork recovery mode. I tried holding volume down, home button and power button at the same time but that goes into downloading mode.
That's because it's volume up for recovery

it is possible that the app didn't automatically set up CWM boot ...
open rom manager
tap on Flash CWM Recovery
wait for the flash to complete...
test it by rebooting from the rom manager app.

It is possible, but holding the wrong buttons like the op was will result in not getting into cwm 100% of the time.

how to ...

im wanting the slick rom JB and I cant find the post listing how....i found the where...
1.not the how?
2.Is "installing a custom firmware" the same as the ROM?
3.if No to question 2, whats the difference?
ok ima try to break this down for ya
1. Make sure you are rooted and have an unlocked bootloader, if not got to this thread and follow instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946
2. Once you have completed step 1, confirm that you have either cwm(clockworkmod) or TWRP(team win recovery project)
2a. Once recovery presence is confirmed, enter the recovery through the bootloader
2b. To enter the bootloader, while the phone is off hold the power button and the volume up button until the lg logo come on the
screen release once the bootloader loads, press the down volume button twice and then press the power button and then the
recovery will load.
2c. (for a quicker way download the quickboot app from the playstore and select recover from the in app menu)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=en
3. Once in the recovery, you'll need to wipe the cache and the dalvik cache, as well as factory reset the phone(recommended to do so) before flashing the ROM(custom firmware)
3a. Navigate either CWM or TWRP until you get to the install zip directories for each recovery, and then navigate the provided file
browser until you find the file you are flashing, once selected follow the on-screen prompts until the file has been sucessfully
flashed.
4. Reboot your device
5. PROFIT!!!!!!!!!

It generally doesn't matter.

What the differences then? Why other than opinion do some go with one and others go with the other version?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
it's a matter of preference.
I use TWRP myself because it backs up and restores a bit faster.
What app do you use?

Volume Down + Power --> This will take you to Bootloader, from there, you can go to recovery using vol up/down to navigate and power to select.

Just reflash a recovery either CWM or TWRP... it's a sure thing you will have a custom recovery
Try quick boot from play store

Sorry! But please explain

You can't get to the bootloader or are you in the bootloader and can't get in the recovery. If you can't get in the bootloader because the button combination does not work, it is probably because Fastboot is on. You can turn off Fastboot in Power in the settings menu. If you don't want to turn off fastboot, turn off your phone, pull out the battery for a second and try the button combi again.
Hey i plan to wipe all and factory reset my phone. So im gonna have to reinstall recovery and reroot.
But which are the bugless and the best recovery in your opinion? Thw cwm by dark passenger or twrp by nexus prime?
My purpose for having recovery are mainly for nandroid backups.
Please suggest

Need help to install rom from PC.

Hi all,
I install [CM7.2] HomICS 2.0 Venus for my HTC Legend and it work well. I also intall CWM 5.0.2 but it does not work in booting mode.
Now, my phone getting stuck in start screen ( Android Icon ), I want to load custom rom but I can not use Rom Manager because I can not enter the OS. In booting mode CWM does not work to load rom from SD card, I can not chose any options in there ( when chose an option by press Power button and nothing happen).
What should I do to install a new rom?
Thanks!
In CWM recovery after loading update.zip, use trackball for navigation and selecting. Powerbutton is just for menu level back.

Thanks, but trackball does not work.
Maybe try to find touch recovery ??
I don't remember there ever being a touch recovery for legend.

Volume up and down works to navigate, but you still have to press the trackball to select a menu item. No trackball, no CWM I guess...
You could try using ADB to get things done, like flashing CWM and ROM.
