Question about rom installation and recovery

I am doing this for a friend, I have done similar things to a lot of different phones. For the Moto Droid 1, after I root via z4root, flash recovery, and of course make a nandroid in recovery, am I good to flash cm7 nightlies? On different phones I have done this to you need a certain kind of recovery flashed (usually 3.0), so once I flash recovery from rom manager can that work for cm7? Thanks

I don't believe the 3.0 recovery mandate was for the OG Droid

can't get recovery to work?

i have a motorola droid from verizon that i rooted and installed rom manager but for some reason i cant get the recovery on here so i can install a rom..

[Q] Joker Rom

has anyone had any luck installing Joker via CWM? I know it was designed for Safestrap and I originally had it installed with safestrap, but after unlocking the bootloader and installing a different rom (PAC) and then trying to flash Joker again via ClockworkMod I didn't have any luck getting it to boot. I do like Joker as I find it the most stable rom I've found for the AHD, but I didn't like losing all that space having 2 roms installed at once. Just wanted to get feedback from everyone before I try flashing joker again (currently I'm at 4.1.1 stock rooted and CWM installed)

Mount the system before flashing the rom.

If you installed a custom ROM then you will have to fastboot back to stock and then flash joker as it is stock based and needs the stock kernel to be present

I installed with CWM you just have to full wipe then mount system and then format system and install the rom

Clockworkmod can't flash roms

Hey all,
I've been searching all over for the solution to this problem and I haven't been able to find any sort of solution and all my attempts to google have been in vain. I've been having problems installing any rom from clockworkmod. I have a droid bionic with the system version, 98.72.22.XT875 the android version is 4.1.2. So I was originally trying to get the pacman rom on my phone. I flashed a clean jellybean rom from RSD and then I used bootstrap and rom manager to flash clockworkmod recovery. However every time I tried to install the pacman rom I get an error that says something similar to E: system cant find *blank* file. When I reboot my system after this the phone says that I've lost encryption and it wont allow me to access the phone anymore. So I tried downloading the cryogen mod off of rom manager and I had the same problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

You cannot use bootstrap with the jellybean firmware on a bionic, you must use safestrap. It is the only currently working recovery.
Clockworkmod doesn't work either (as far as I know.. Is there even a build for the bionic?)
Clean again with an fxz, root, install safestrap app, install recovery through the app, reboot to safestrap, create a ROM slot, install your ROM to that slot, and all should be good.
(The reason your attempts were in vain is because the boot loader is locked, thus some boot-time patching and workarounds must be done)

Safe strap works great. Boot manager is supposed to work also, haven't tried it yet.

Which Rom Slot To Install [4.2.2][MIUIv5 4.2.14] Droid 3

Regarding the Motorola Droid 3 "Solana", I downloaded the ROM [4.2.2][MIUIv5 4.2.14] Droid 3 and attempted to install in ROM SLOT 1. However it 'failed'.
I am using SafeStrap 3.05.
Which ROM Slot is recommended?
Is this a KEXEC or NON-KEXEC ROM?
Thanks, Bruce.
