ClockworkMod Recovery wont install - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Did you happen to notice when you open rom manager when you scroll down the screen it says FIX PERMISSION ISSUES? lol Try there first then report back of course reboot then try
Yes.
Did that to no avail...
I should have mentioned that...
I am going to just to right to manually installing a ROM and see if that works..then install the Rom Manager and go from there.
I had this issue and had to manually flash another ROM (I chose Fresh 0.3) before it would work. Now it works regardless of which rom I have installed.

Yeah...noob mistake and I am sorry for posting in the wrong place...I installed the Bugless Beast and that fixed it for me...

[PROBLEM]

I used the simple root for the new OTA with the 4 steps. I did everything and it seemed to work all the way through step 4 just fine. But i try to run titanium backup or rom manager and it acts like my phones not rooted, i have new apps on my phone since i rooted it like stc ssd test, hdmi controller, ciq tools, wimax settings, wimax router, wimax tool. So it looks like something happened but no apps act like im rooted. when i try to use rom manger it says "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands" and titanium backup says root failed and says i have to be rooted. what went wrong? what do i do?
Try flashing a Rom to it there's even a stock rooted Rom you can flash that is rooted and that changes the settings.

wouldent i have to use rom manager to do that? im a total noob, and rom manager wont let me use it because i have to first install some clockwork mod or something and it cant install it because im not rooted right i guess
you might have just needed busybox installed and super user

[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] Rom Manager Error while downloading from server.

Is anyone else getting the below error when trying to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery on 2.5.1.3? I just updated and this is the error I am getting:
Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection, and that your SD card is inserted and has free space!
Working onwifi, stock rooted via gfree method. Only think I found with search is someone who had this problem disappear after a few hours and his thoughts were a server error with the clockwork servers.
Anyone?
I'm also extremely frustrated with this issue
Mine didn't change even when I connected via wifi

I`m also getting errors,can`t install the new 2.5.1.8 Recovery!
I am having this problem. I just got a replacement Droid 1 and obtained root through Soup and Root. I can't restore a backup through ROM Manager, I can't do much of anything through ROM Manager. It says I have the current CW as I am using my same SD card from before, but I can't download/ install a new ROM, restore one, or anything. When I tried to flash CW to see if that was the problem I get the same error. I have internet connectivity and my phone is working fine other than that.
I have been going CRAZY over this! I just upgraded my captivate to 2.2 today, rooted it and now I've LITTERALLY been trying to install clockworkmod for the past 3 hours, I have bricked my phone so many times and had to restore back to the default froyo and re-rooted it so many times and I keep getting the same error.
I've been trying to find the clockworkmod manually so I can just install it without ROM Manager, anybody have any clue how I can do this? I have a samsung captivate.
Also, I paid for the Premium version of ROM Manager via PayPal however I have no idea how to "reinstall" the Premium version without re-paying the $3.99, anybody know how?

There is no 2.5.1.8 recovery for Vision, it's a bug in ROM Manager where it shows you versions that are available for all phones.
Yes,now saw your answer at development section
2.5.1.4 also not working,only 2.5.1.3 available at the moment!
Not working for my buddy and I either. Must be a server issue . I have 2.5.1.3
2.5.1.3 is the newest at the moment!
Seems to be back online today...
There have been a few updates to the ROM Manager app overnight to fix some of these issues, try updating via the Market if you've had problems.
Still the same version of Clockwork Recovery for Vision so far though.

Busy Box - NO ROOT??

OK, since search is down, I'm going to be a noob and ask something I know has been asked before...
I installed and ran V6 Supercharger yesterday, but wasn't completely sure if it worked properly, so I decided to start again. So I went back to tutorial and started again, first trying to re-install Busybox 1.18.2, as directed. I got message "unable to load busybox onto /sys/xbin". Odd.
So I backed out and opened Busybox installer again, this time got error message "No Root Access!". Tried that a few times, but same message. So I opened Titanium, No Root, MyBackUpRoot...NO ROOT!! 4Ext is also reporting errors, although it does accept SU Permissions...
Ummm...help??
E: Build.prop Editor, ROM manager, RAM Manager Pro, Root Explorer, ES Explorer all granted SU Permissions...
I think I know what may have happened, although don't know how or exactly why... Thinking busybox.apk has been deleted from /system somehow.
I am able to boot to recovery and doing nandroid now, so I obviously still have root. Going to wipe Dalvic and reflash ROM.
Fingers crossed.
Nope.
Did fresh download of Runnymede 6041 and reflashed.
Still same problem. Titanium does not see root, neither does busybox or MbR.
Really not happy now.
Edit: If anyone reading this has experience, where would I find the Busybox.apk, to verify if it was missing and how would I replace??
Have you try to clear superuser data in settings-applications-manage applications ?
I had this problem when I restore data for superuser using mybackup root.
Also check how much free system space that you have before downloading a new busybox. Maybe the free space is not enough for the new busybox.
Download program called visionary and install it. Open it then press (temproot) then keep going on what u doing. Make sure that u having 2.2 android or custom ROM. I did that and update worked as it should with no problem

Thanks for replies guys.
@mahmoud, want to point out I am root and s-off with custom ROM etc. Not sure if temproot will help me. I'm pretty sure the original Busybox file that is installed during unrEVOked has gone missing. Is that what happened for you too??
As I say, I can still boot to recovery and most SU apps are working...just not those that need Busybox.
@ckp, I will try that this evening. Cheers.

Aaaaaahhhhh ok. Sorry I misunderstood u. What happened to me is that I wanted to root my phone and I couldn't use unrEVOked
Coz it always show me CID MISSING so I downloaded 3 apps and rooted my phone without computer. Visionary, superuser and ROM manager. I had to update busybox in superuser app. But it didn't update until I did temproot using visionary app. I don't know if that will help u or no. But nothing will happen if u downloaded visionary and temproot then try busybox.. let me know if u had any thing. Goodluck

AFAIK, Titanium uses its own Busybox, so I would suggest uninstalling Titanium, reflashing Busybox (I don't know if it's possible), then reflashing Titanium. I hope this will help.
Thanks Coempi, but I did that already... Somehow, whatever tells Busybox or Titanium that I have root, is not doing that.
Dunno wtf just happened, but I uninstalled Titanium again, rebooted (again) and installed Busybox straight up... Everything back to normal, but nfi what I did.
I guess sometimes its the simple things, yeah...??
Thanks for help all.
