ClockworkMod Recovery wont install

HI,
I posted this by accident somewhere else.>I think this is the right place.
I have a new Evo...did the Simple .1 Root... The 3 step method.
Installed Rom Mgr Free and paid for Rom Manager Premium, Titanium backup....installed the BusyBox...moved it to the bin folder ....
I did searches and tried the above...but when I try to use Rom Manager Premium it keeps telling me to install Clockwork...and it errors out...An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands...
Titanium backup says Im ok and rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unable to Flash Latest ClockworkMod through Rom Manager

My phone is rooted, but I'm still getting the error when trying to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery through ROM Manager
'An error occurred while flashing your recovery'
I originally had an older Clockwork Recovery loaded which I think was one of the reasons it had problems. I tried to use the program to flash to RA Recovery 1.7.0.1 and then back to the latest ClockworkMod, but it wont work.
I located the latest ZIP file for the recovery
recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-supersonic.zip
I had the RA-evo-v1.7.0.1 recovery loaded, tried to install the Clockwork zip through recovery mode. Originally it loads up fine, but then when I reboot, it reverts back to the RA-evo recovery. I'm still receiving the same error in ROM Manager as it is forcing me to select the option to Flash the Recovery.
Any help would be great. I apologize if this has already been covered in another thread. I found some people that had issues, but not the exact one I am having.

Sounds like to me that Rom manager is not getting superuser permission. Flash Su 2.1.zip or if u are using frozen eclair with jit. U need to flash 2.2 Su.zip. Has happened to me before.

When I go to the Superuser Permissions app, BusyBox and Titanium Backup both are shown, but Rom Manager isn't there. Should it be?
I'm still a newbie, so I'm not familiar with SU 2.1.zip, is that a superuser file to install I would assume?
I haven't had an issue with anything else except Rom Manager which is odd. I'm using the free version currently if that matters at all. I wanted to get this working with the free one first, and then if it goes well I was going to donate and get the full version.

Connect to a wifi and try again. That was an issue
for me the other day.

WiFi did it for me..
The above WiFi comment was right in my instance. I kept getting the error message until I enabled WiFi, then it went thru perfectly.
(Strange though...I don't know why that would affect it?)

Just wanted to add that wifi worked for me too. I don't get it either, but I'm happy.

Glad I found this, wifi worked. Strange

Sounds like a server side issue of some kind for which you would have had no control over.

[Q] Problems installing the CM6 ROM on newly rooted evo with 2.2

I just rooted my evo 2.2V following the incredible instructions outlined on XDA. now i have ROM manager installed. I did a backup using the ROM manager app and also downloaded the CM6 ROM using the same app. butwhen i tryed to flash the rom it did not go through. The phone rebooted but gave an error even befour the process could start. I tried it again using the ROM manager with the same results. What could be the issue? the original ROM was downloaded by ROM Manager and is still in the memory and every time i try flashing it, it just comes up with an error and i have to restore the backup. Could this be due to a corrupted dowload or something else. Thanks in advance for the help guys.

I recently used ROM Manager to d/l and flash CM6, no issues. But now when I use it to backup the ROM, it freezes up on a f/c screen after the backup is completed and is rebooting. Replicated the issue twice to be sure. Have to pull the battery. So much for not having to do a real nand, lol.
Still searching for the right thread for my issue.
Update: Cleared d/l cache, flashed RA 1.8 then reflashed Clockwork, all better.

I'm not qualified to tell anyone how to do anything, but you can find directions on how to d/l and place the rom on the root of your sd card, then flash it with recovery. Search out flashing roms and I'm sure you'll get it done.
Clearing and reflashing clockwork on rom manager before you try might not do any harm as well. Never know. Read up, don't trust my word, lol.

Have you tried other roms besides cm6? You will need the .76 hboot with that one. If you are having issues flashing any rom, then you will meed to try unlocking your nand again with toasts Eng bootloader.

[Q] Problems on omfgb 1.1.1 want to revert...

Flashed over to OMFGB 1.1.1 tonight, got Gapps installed, but not liking the fact that Better keyboard, Rom Manager, and Titanium backup aren't working. Tried to go back to another rom in recovery but it won't let me do it through recovery or Rom Manager which FC's every time I open it just like Titanium Backup. How can I get rid of this rom and go back to one that works best for me? Please help!!!

I don't use the rom manager, but titanium backup has always worked for me. Have you ever tried reinstalling them from the market?
Also, for on the spot help, drop in on thier irc and they'll be more than willing to help you out on anything else.

Did you update Clockwork Mod? The new version is causing some issues with recoveries due to a change in update script (So I read). It looks like Nils Business Sense is updated to the new script and you could flash that via recovery to get operating again.

I had the same problem I just downloaded boot tools and fixed the permissions and everything works great! If you download something and it forecloses right away don't delete it fix the permissions first then try again.

Yea you most likely just have to fix permissions.

Backup Custom Rom - Xperia S

Hi,
My dad has rooted his Xperia S device,
He has a custom rom from work which he wants to backup before installing a new one.
When he tries to run nanandroid or Rom Manager it doesn't work.
nanandroid asks for update - it updates and it asks for an update again
Rom Manager says it does not support this device.
How can we backup the device (Simply if possible).
Thanks

Backup via CWM

I suggest online nandroid backup. It is in playstore. The application allows backup without entering CWM. The back up is in clockwork folder on sdcard usually. Simplest backup. Hope it helps.
Edit: just saw you tried nandroid. Maybe you don't have root permission?

I'm assuming you meant CWM Rom manager,
I referred to it as Rom Manager in my initiall post
YYvo - I gave it root access,
I alse tried instaliing and ininstalling - still the same.
if it matters he tries to install onandriod script 6.0 (keep in mind I accept and install it, and he keep asking for it regardless)

The script installed should be 6.14 in nandroid. As for CWM it doesn't necessarily mean the Rom manager. Look for the thread that shows how to install CWM on Xperia S. I assumed it already had it as you said it had a custom Rom installed. If it has, To enter restart phone and hold volume up when led starts.
