i must have missed something or did something wrong.
i installed visionary, temp root and perm rooted.
ive got my custom ROM in the root of my SD card.
downloaded and installed ROM manager.
through ROM manager i installed clockworkmod recovery.
i installed easyradiotool and selected Rdio S-OFF
running ROM manager i selected "install ROM frm SD card"

reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partion
which am i meant to choose to install my ROM, or what have i missed out?
many thanks
Re-Flash recovery from within ROM Manager, some users require it to be flashed twice.
I did exactly the same (except for that Radio S-OFF thing) and I have the exact same problem.
All I get is that mobile phone with the exclamation mark.
Help please..
bangbangparis, you need S-OFF to get ClockworkMod.
I got mine flashed, red triangle with exclamation mean its in recovery mode, press the + volume button and power then go from there.

Ok sorry I'm new to this stuff..
so apparently i did S-OFF because I got the ROM-Manager.
But what do I have to do in Recovery Mode? It gives me only those 4 options you mentioned before.
I'm close to smash my phone against a wall..
You can have Rom manager without S-OFF, too. Go to bootloader and see if it says S-OFF at the top.

Which version of CMW did you install from ROM Manager? I know when I first flashed it to my DHD I had to go to install update.zip to get to the Recovery menu them from there i was able to flash the custom rom

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.
Hi everyone. I'm having some problems with my Recovery which I can't seem to figure out:
I tried to mod my phone with CM6.1 the other day using ROM Manager. ROM downloaded and started to install, no problems. When it tried to boot up again, it got stuck in a loop at the CM loading screen. When I tried to reboot in to Clockword Mod Recovery, all I got was a picture of a phone with a triangle (can't remember which colour - think it was green). Eventually I realised that was a stock recovery and managed to get my phone restored to my backup but I can't seem to get my recovery to go to anything but the stock one. Rom Manager reports Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed and I've tried using Rom Manager, Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works - I'm still at the built-in recovery.
Now, If I boot in to recovery, I get the red triangle and a message on screen stating "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command".
If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
"Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works" make sure youre trying to flash a .img file
"Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed" that because the recovery (.zip) is saved on the SDCARD. When booting Recovery from ROM Manager, youre fake-flashing the file (.zip)
"If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock." thats fake-flashing
what HBOOT are you on??
EDIT: You should S-OFF your Desire "http://alpharev.nl/".
WARNING: When using S-OFF your flashing a custom HBOOT. If that goes wrong, it may brick your Desire. If you use S-OFF, then you can flash a permanent recovery using fastboot
Thanks Chris. Any idea why it would have reverted though? I used to have a permanent version of ClockworkMod until the other week
Edit: HBOOT just says 0.80.0000 and has 3 androids on skateboards

Go back to stock, download the original ruu for you phone. After that try rooting again.
Rats - had a feeling that may be the answer. Think I'll be able to restore a backup?

I fake-flash all the time. I once messed up a ROM's installation and got stuck because it messed up the recovery too.
The loop startup is probably caused by older cache from your previous ROM. Just boot up recovery again, clear cache and restore factory settings and then flash your CM again. Should do the trick.

Flashed my HBOOT with AlphaRev - those guys are brilliant, coding that!
Thank you for your help!
Bingo!
Think I've nailed it now!
I used Fastboot Commander [v.1.0] to flash Amon-RA which took and stayed!
To confirm: I installed AlphaRev bootloader to S-OFF then Fastboot Commander to flash Amon-RA. Hopefully, I'll now be able to flash Clockwork Recovery again (as I use Rom Manager) and be back up and running!
Think I may skip CM6.1...
I recently rooted my HTC Wildfire vith alpharev x, that turned my phone S-OFF and then Super One Click to root. Today I wanted to flash a custom ROM and I downloaded Clockworkmod. It pdated itself to 2.5.0.7. I now tried to download CyanogenMod, but when it wants to reboot to Clockworkmod recovery, it just reboots into a black screen with an image of a phone and a red triangle with "!" mark. From there I somehow managed to get to a mode where I can choose between
-reboot
-apply update.zip
-wipe user data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
Below that is a yellow writing that sais that some command was not found.
If I try "apply update.zip" it stops due to a verification error.
What can I do? Please help, I really want that custom ROM...
Thanx
EDIT: Nevermind, Ive found a way...

to flash cm7 you have to flash clockwork 3.0 or above as I know,so first flash new clockwork like 3.1.0.2 then flash cm7 through recovery not trough super one click cos it wil recuest download recovery and put the old one back and again wont be able to flash cos of scripting
hey everyone,
So i just rooted my phone using the wiki cyanogen mod, and everything worked great... afterwards I downloaded rom manager and used this method here
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Vision:_Radio_and_CyanogenMod
Method via ROM Manager
Launch RomManager.
Optional: Choose the first option in the app, Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to update to the latest version.
Select the Download ROM option from the main menu in the ROM Manager.
Select the CyanogenMod option, and then choose the latest version of CyanogenMod from the menu.
Optional: When you select the latest version of CyanogenMod, check the Google Apps* option.
Once the ROM is finished downloading, it asks if you would like to Backup Existing ROM and Wipe Data and Cache.
If Superuser prompts for root permissions check to Remember and then Allow.
The HTC Vision will now reboot into the recovery, wipe data and cache, and then install CyanogenMod. When it's finished installing it will reboot into CyanogenMod.

After this the phone rebooted and now it's been stuck on the white htc screen... I'm completely clueless on what to do now.. any help would be great thank you guys
So did you flash a 5.x.x.x recovery from ROM manager? People are having issues with this.
Pull the battery and try booting up again. If this happened on your first attempt (aka it hasnt actually wiped or anything) just go back to your ROM, and flash a previous CWM recovery. 3.0.2.4 works. THEN try to do the process.
All ROM manager is doing here is automating a process you can do yourself. I'm assuming what happened is you're having a problem with the new recovery when it reboots to go to the recovery, it hangs on HTC screen. ROM manager and CWM haven't even had a chance to do anything yet.
Another option is to pull the battery and boot with vol. down + power, then enter recovery. See if it enters. If it does, then you can reboot and run the install from ROM manager and it should work this time. You could also do it manually at that point if you wanted.
For me (and many others) when using a 5.x.x.x CWM recovery, the first boot always hangs at the HTC logo, and after a battery pull and a 2nd attempt to boot into recovery, it works.
if i was at your position and cwm is installed, by look at your post it is installed.
i pull battery out and put it back in. turn on your phone whilst holding volume down.
it will scan for pc10img if there's any dont install it...
then there should be an option for recovery, use the volume rocker to navigate gate and your on button to select.
your phone will restart and hopefully load cwm manager.
if you've got there then you can wipe data and cache then install a different ROM or another cyanmod rom.
thank you guys for all the help! it was much needed, I have successfully rooted my phone and I have cyanmod 7, i'm so glad i didn't brick my phone hahah
Gratulations
I have a Wildfire as above.
I was given it with 2.2.1 installed and have boot unlocked thru the HTC Dev website. The bootloader shows that the handset is currently S-on.
Can I root from here to install a custom ROM? And if so, how?
all you need its here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035 ...you will need to downgrade your HBoot first, but everything its explain in the link, its not very difficult but it takes a while and its a bit scary first time haha.
You can follow that guide posted above, or a far simpler method would be to flash a Custom Recovery (Via Fastboot) and then flash the ROM of your choice.
Custom Recovery flashing steps can be found here:

Once you have Clockworkmod installed, the instructions to install a Custom ROM can be found here:

Good Luck
CWM is now installed and backup complete.
Will be installing ROM soon. Thank you all for your help!!
hi Fedrat,
I have followed 3xeno' instructions and successfuly installed CWM, however I do not see CWM as an app or an option anywhere when I reboot.
It doesn't solve my S-ON problem and doesn't root my phone still showing HBOOT 1.02.0000 and cannot move to flashing a new rom until that gets out of the way.
What did I miss? and did you successfully install a new ROM?
Thanks
Cwm is an advanced recovery, it's written to the recovery partition which is hidden so the average Joe cannot mess with it.
Press volume down + power to get into hboot when the phone is off, then choose recovery and it will take you there.
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't give root access but it does set you up for it, most roms come pre rooted so once you get into Cwm first backup your stock rom then wipe cache, data, dalvik cache and flash your new rom from the install zip from sd menu.
