With s=off, can the latest ClockworkMod Recovery be flashed via ROM Manager?
Yes, but not in the way koush has it currently. He needs to update the way he flashes the recovery image through ROM Manager so we can do it properly.

Anyone,
In ROM Manager I choose to update the Recovery and it changes to 2.5.0.7.
If I reboot from ROM manager into Recovery it is 2.5.0.7
However if I power down and come into recovery via Fastboot, it is 2.5.0.1.
So I assume when you reboot it somehow loads the 2.5.0.7 (i would guess this is why I have a update.zip in root after this option)
My question is, how can I permanently update the recovery vs this on the go method?
Thanks,
Daniel
That method only does a "fake flash" of that particular Recovery which ROM Manager can use. It doesn't touch your original flashed Recovery.
The latest Unrevoked will let you update to the latest Clockwork Mod Recovery permanently: http://unrevoked.com/#desire

Some time ago i rooted my phone with Unrevoked, at that time it flashed Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 to my phone. Since then i've been upgrading my recovery through ROM Manager, or so i thought anyway. Because using "Reboot into recovery" from ROM Manager, takes me to recovery with version 2.5.0.7 of Clockworkmod, but if i manually go into recovery, by turning the phone off and holding down the volume and the power button, i get to Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 still.
Why is it like this? Almost like there is "different levels" of recovery modes? Do i have two different recoveries installed on the phone or something? And how do i flash my recovery so that when i boot into recovery the manual way, it's the latest as well?
Been doing some thinking, the reason ROM Manager doesn't seem to update the version when am booting into recovery the manual way, is it because of this S-ON thingy?
Did some reading on: http://alpharev.shadowchild.nl/ and there is some kind of security on /system and /recovery(which Alpharev can remove, but i haven't tried it yet), is this the reason why ROM Manager doesn't flash the recovery?
If so, when i click "reboot into recovery" from inside ROM Manager, what kind of recovery does it take me to, since the version obliviously is updated there?
Edit: Maybe it's only doing a "fake-flash" of the recovery from inside ROM Manager? Because of this security thingy on /recovery? If so, how do i permanently update the recovery? Is it only possible through unrevoked? And if i use Alpharev, will ROM Manager then be able to permanently update the recovery?
Yes you are right assuming it has to do with s-off. Koush circumvented this by using fakeflash which is automatic applied when rebooting using Rom manager.
And yes making the phone s-off will make Rom manager able to flash the recovery, but it won't because at the time it was made s-off wasn't available. So it will need an update from koush.
To flash a recovery you download it as an img file to your computer and flash it using fastboot.
Okay, thanks for the answer.
I have my phone rooted via unrevoked. I installed ROM Manager and flashed ClockworkMOd 2.6.0.1.
Now I cannot boot into the recovery via ROM manager or the manual method. Any ideas?

Ran into the same issue. I flashed RA and that resolved it. Still can't use ROM Manager for flashing though.
OK I downgreased to another version of clockwork and I can now Ger into the recovery but I can't flash any Roms. Any ideas?

I have a rootet Desire (via unrevoked) with s-off and Oxygen 2.1.3 ROM. I flashed a new clockwork version (3.0.0.5) .img file via ADB. If I boot my phone and enter the clockwork recovery the new version is used. If I reboot the phone using ROM manager it enters the old version of clockwork recovery.
So I think, I have 2 recovery versions on my phone. How can this be avoided? I just want to have the new one.
Found this in Cyanogenmod forum.
CWM 3.0.0.5 is permanently flashed so it's always there. 2.5.0.7 is a temporary recovery as when you reboot with rom manager, it uses the zip file that comes with it

when im flashing my roms on my htc Wildfire i can only flash Cyanogen mod, does this have anything to do with having HBOOT 1.001.001?
I presume it gives you the Amend scripting error.
Download ROM manager
Click Flash recovery inside it
Wait
Click reboot into recovery
Flash from there.
but i already have clock mod inside it, is the version of clock mod too new? i think i have 3.2 or somthing
You need 2.5 for pre-gingerbread roms, kernels and radios.
And if you flash it from ROM manager, you can still get to 3.2 from the HBOOT and the 2,5 from rom manager.
so your saying to downgrade to the 2.5 clockmod firmware? because curently im useing 3.0 somthing
Clockworkmod recovery 3.x will install only gingerbread roms.
To install other things either directly flash 2.x recovery or flash 2.x recovery from Rom manager.
From Rom manager select flash recovery which flashes 2.x recovery on memory card relating to a file named update.zip. Then reboot to recovery from the option in Rom manager itself and you will have 2.x recovery. And if you wiped everything and in 3.x recovery, just flash that update.zip first which gives you 2.x recovery instantly for installing other roms.
