I followed the SuperGuide to root my phone. It worked perfectly.
And then I did the following.
I opened ROM Manager on my vivid... selected Flash ClockworkMod Recovery... selected HTC Holiday... and let it run. Now, I have CWM 5.0.2.7 - I should be on 5.5.0.4, right? Can I follow the SuperGuide starting at Part 2 to fix this?
Thank you
Do not use Rom Manager! You should be able to flash a new recovery via TheCube's instructions from his thread.

Hi people
Today i've tried to flash ClockworkMod recovery in my HTC Legend via Rom Manager. After downloaded recovery, i've rebooted my device and an installation process has completed successfully. I realize that ClockworkMod Recovery has been installed and running well.
I reboot to recovery again and i see that CWmod recovery is vanished!!!
The original recovery of Legend is here!
What happened??? how can i flash a custom recovery permanently in Legend???
If it's possible, what recovery you advise me?
PS: My phone is rooted and i install custom roms via R4-Legend-Root tool.

If I well understood it is impossible to flash a permanent recovery in the Legend. But a temporary recovery is possible via Rom Manager! Right?

If you need to have the recovery any time in your phone and you don't need ROM manader, you can try this:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...unching-recovery-on-your-device-without-a-pc/
I have it on my SD card all the time it and it works great

Hello! I recently flashed my GT-I9000 with Darkys. I now became more interested in ROMs like Cyanogenmod and MIUI. Could somebody please tell me how to change from custom rom to another? Is it different? How about lagfixes? Do i need to disable something? Step by step guide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have you got lagfix enabled? If you have you should disable this first
The ROMs you are referring to have full install instructions. If you wanted to start from a stock ROM you can flash using Odin then start from scratch

Nice to see some other fin's
You are on 2.2 stock rom right?
(You may skip this if you've already done)
First, root your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Then, go to Market with your phone and install ROM Manager and flash ClockWorkMod trought it
(You can get to Clockworkmod by pressing Volume UP + MENU + Power On when phone is off)
(Start here)
Read this and flash the file in it trough CWM (=Clockworkmod). (install zip from sd-card>choose zip)
Before it do a nandroid backup with Clockworkmod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047924
After flashing it, (I suggest you to use the Cyanogenmod ROM, its much better than MIUI IMO) just see this guide and download Cyanogenmod and flash it trough CWM

Alright, thanks guys. I'm going to try not to brick my phone
I recently got a Incredible S and was considering rooting it. So I went through the topics here and people kept mentioning the option you see on the main menu to "install zip from SD Card".
Just to ensure that I knew everything before I went ahead and rooted, I went to the HBoot screen(volume down and power). My phone was locked(S-ON) and on the screen I could not see any option to "install zip from SD Card". Am I missing something? I am posting a picture of my Hboot screen.
Also something I noticed was that the screen would refresh and automatically run a check to see if any images were present on the sd card. Is this normal?
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but I am confused and just wanted to be sure.
To be able to see that option you require to root, then flash clockwork mod recovery.
Then you will have the modified recovery with that option to flash roms.
1. Root with Revolutionary
2. Flash ClockwordMod Recovery (To find out how to do this go HERE)
Thanks neo, that helps a lot.

Hi Markj338,
You installed the ICS-4.0.3 (incredible S)?
What team?
This version you have installed, has any bug?
thanks.
No? What are you talking about?
I downgraded, s-offed, rooted, and installed recovery, then I flashed a few different roms, before flashing trinity sensation XL as my daily rom
So I just rooted and flashed cm7 using this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105
Now, it installed rom manager on my phone and also, this method flashed Revolutionary clockwork mod on my phone. the version is: 4.0.1.4
Now in rom manager, I want to use the back up option etc and for that it says I need to flash clockwork mod.
My question is, would it do any damage if I were to flash clockwork mod from rom manager although I have it installed already?
Thanks in advance

If you update CWM using ROM Manager, it should overwrite the Revolutionary CWM version with the latest version.
Are you sure? I tried it, takes a really long while

I tried doing it. It just hangs. I mean the display doesn't turn on and that's it. I waited for about 5 minutes. Nothing happened. Although when I popped out the battery and put it back in, it worked okay but the version of CWM is the same. The one from Revolutionary as I mentioned above!

Ok then just flash the latest CWM recovery from FASTBOOT USB mode using the command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Also you can just boot into recovery and perform a backup without using ROM Manager.
Thanks a lot man! Really! Couldn't thank you enough. Got it done!
Hello
I finally got bored with my phone and decided to try some custom roms. Im not new to flashing roms but this was my first attempt with the vivid.
I unlocked my bootloader and s-off my phone using the Juopunutbear trick. I updated the hboot and perm-rooted the device. I did this all following the superguide instructions.
This is where I think I messed up. I tried to use the rom manager to back up my phone and install cwm which im thinking i shouldnt have. I installed the app and hit flash clockworkmod recovery. I got confused on what to do after that.
I can boot into the phone fine with no issues but I can not hboot into recovery it just hangs on the htc white screen.
I dont know where to go from here. can i salvage this process or step back in someway? Also did I install cwm or not complete the process or was it already installed as part of the superguide perm root instructions? Im a little confused on the whole recovery part.
Thanks for the help
Either flashimagegui from the themes and apps thread...
Or manually fastboot flash recovery *image name*
I recommend twrp...
Easy way to get it..
Download goomanager from the market... Open... Grant root...
Hit the menu capacitive button... Choose install openrecovery script...
Download it... Trying to flash it with goomanager is broken... Use either method mentioned above

Thanks for the reply. I ended up re-rooting the phone(Step 4 superguide) and that gave me access to the recovery menu again.
Yeah, don't use rom manager it's old and outdated
