After you root and install ROM manager, how do you flash the ROMS. i mean i know the steps but i must be doing something wrong. Here is what I'm doing.
i have a mesmerize by the way.
1. Open Rom Manager
2. Install ROM from SD Card
Do i need to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery first?
Any help would be very greatly appreciated ...i might even name my first born after you.
and if you can tell be where i can get custom battery, and Wifi ROMS for the mesmerize i may even name my second after you also.
Yes, you will need a custom recovery to flash a custom ROM. CWM or Amon_Ra flashed through Rom Manager will do the trick. Once you have the recovery sorted you can/should do a backup of your current setup. Again, this can be done from Rom Manager.
Now you can move on to flashing a custom ROM.
I'm having a problem getting the Roms installed, cwm says something about edifying. i have cwm 3.0.0.8. i went back and downgraded my ROM manager to 2.5.0.7 but my cwm is still 3.0.0.8.

There is a section in Rom Manager with older versions of CWM. It's that you want, not an older version of RM.
it would probably be easier to boot into recovery and install your custom rom from there. The method to get into recovery is different for each phone though.
Remember to wipe before installing a custom rom tho.

I've looked for the older versions of CWM in RM but cant seem to find them. What are they under? Sorry if I'm being a bother.

I have the latest recovery mod installed (ClockworkMod 2.0.1.3) on the latest ROM and Radio released June 28th for the Evo and I get the error icon every time i try to load into recovery. I have already tried to re-flash from ROM manager but no luck. Any ideas or on whats going on?
The same thing has happened to me twice. It happened when the program told me there was a new version available, and had to flash the new one. Afterwards, I could not boot into recovery (i'd just stay stuck in the beginning screen).
The way I fixed it is inside of ROM Manager, I clicked "Fix Permissions", and after that was done, I clicked "Flash Amon RA". This at least allows me to use the Amon RA custom recovery.
I had issues with the latest clockwork 2.0.1.3 too. At the bottom of rom manager there is the option to flash previous recoveries, i just went back to 2.0.1.2 and it works fine.
I have tried multiple old versions of clockworkmod and the alt recovery and still no luck. All attempts to load into any type of recovery have failed. HELP!!!

not sure exactly what you mean by the bolded statement. like you installed the updates in a custom rom or you did the OTA to get the latest rom and radio?

I used the "[ROM] OTA 1.47.651.1 Rooted" method to update my phone then I ran Calkulin's radio update. After this I was able to go into recovery and perform the factory reset / wipe device. I then preceded to restore my phone's data using My Backup Pro. after seeing that everything was working fine i went to try and perform a nandroid backup and found my recovery to be broken. Have been unable to flash a working rom since. I have been using ROM manager to flash different recoveries. and I always have the same result of a picture of a phone with an exclamation mark inside a triangle.
Best ClockWork Rom Manager Version For Desire?
okay i used the latest original untouched once yesterday installed perfectly, however after doing a backup it crashed on htc start up loop. i opened recovery and re flashed my backup all worked okay but am now wondering what if something happens when installing a custom rom. what is the best version to use.
thanks
Easiest, and safest way to flash is via your recovery from boot (ClockworkMod/AmonRa etc). ROM Manager itself has seen many issues recently and many people advise to stay clear of it until it's totally stable.

ROM Manager is made by ClockworkMod devs. It's an application, a standalone app whereas ClockworkMod is a recovery and this is what you would use to flash the ROM. If you have ClockworkMod as your recovery you flash a new ROM using this procedure:
Do this first to backup your existing ROM in case anything goes wrong.
Then do this to flash your new recovery.
Hopefully everything should go okay.
EDIT: You can leave ROM Manager where it is, it won't affect anything you do in the above procedures and you may find that your new ROM doesn't package it anyway so you won't have it anyway.
for me 3.0.0.5 was the best for desire

I've got 4.2.0.2 but I can't comment because I've not used it yet but I know I successfully partitioned my SD to ext3 using the version you mention (only because I couldn't get gparted to work).
So im planning to go back to 2.1 or 2.2 and sense, so how im going to do this? ( I have #203 Nightly)
After that, will i need to root again, and is it possible to overclock stock wildfire ROM and how? (Install new kernel??)
If youre asking why go back to sense, I just happen to need stableness for next 4 weeks and want to see how much I can tweak Sense. Going back to cm7 in november probably

Just install like a new ROM. One such stock rooted Froyo can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
The only different thing is that this will have to be flashed in Clockworkmod 2.x. (I guess you must know how to flash Radio's in CM7, so its not a big issue)
And yes, to OC, you will have to install a custom kernel like this one:

I also found that i have cwm backup from original rom that I can restore. Does this also restore previous radio or kernel or do I have to do it manually?
it will not touch the radio, but it will restore the stock kernel. (Or whichever kernel you had installed when you took that backup)

I got a problem. I want to get original Sense by restoring backup from CWM. Mine works, but has a pattern that i dont remember and a email wich i dont remember either. Does anyone happen to have a backup of a wildfire without password or could someone advice something else? I tried RUU but my win7 x64 is causing trouble, or the drivers.
Just flash the stock froyo ROM I listed in the first post I made in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977). If you don't know how to get Clockworkmod 2.5.0.x, then:
- Download this attachment, place on your SDCard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Flash the zip (update1.zip) using your existing Clockworkmod 5.0.2.0
- Device will reboot and will start Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7
- Perform Data Wipe and Choose Install Zip from SDCard, select the ROM Zip file, and let it install.

For the rooted ROM it says No Hboot | No Radio, what does that mean?

Just what is says. It does not include the Bootloader (HBoot), and it does not include the baseband (Radio). So, for these two components, what you are having on your device at this moment will remain. (ie - They will not be updated when you flash the ROM)

I Installed the Rom from recovery, but all I get is the HTC logo and the startup tone then it switches off and I get the same thing again. Help please!
Edit: It's working now but I cannot force move apps like I could do before. Why is that?

Because it is a Completely Stock HTC Factory ROM with no support for it.
i am still learning more and more..
ok i guess i used to have Stock CW (Blue)
i flashed MIUI and it had me upgrade to CW 3.0.0.8 (orange)
doing this i did not know that i would i guess render my other older Nandroid backups i made useless...
Soo my question is do i stay on CW 3.0.0.8 and reflash all my roms .. will they (shooter, runny, wildstang) work with this CW 3.0.0.8?
or should i go back to stock.. and how do i go back to stock and if i go back to stock again will my old nandroids work again?
thank you
The easiest way to flash any CWM version is using ROM Manager. The current version is actually 5.0.2.0. Which is blue. You don't have to reflash any of your ROMs when you upgrade and then backup. The restore system should work with the previous CWM recoveries.
the older back ups i made are not working ...
i am in Rom manager and it does say Current Recovery : 5.0.2.0
when i restart the phone and go into recovery it says 3.0.0.8
i figured it out .. !!!
thank you though

Watch out.... I've had ROM Manager repeatedly do bad flashes of CWR on my dInc. Don't trust it until you've made backups of your current ROM.

Been known to happen. Safest way is to tell ROM Manager to erase recovery prior to flashing. I kind of feel that should be default, and not an option.
Rom Manager doesn't seem to know that I've got CWM installed. When I rooted and installed CWM I didn't do it through Rom Manager originally. Now CWM won't let me use it to manage my backups and keeps asking me if I want to install CWM? I've got Google Wallet installed so I'm a little nervous flashing things needlessly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
edit: CWM v5.5.0.4
do you try "wipe cache" and "advanced->wipe dalvik cache?"
Thanks, I just tried, it took quite a while to clear the cache. When I booted up it went through a whole Optimizing Apps process, I'm not sure if that was due to wiping the dalvik cache? But it still didn't fix the Rom Manager issue.
Its probably not yet compatible if you have the touch version of cwm installed, so it wants to flash the standard one. Or you could always just let rom manager just reflash cwm overtop and then you may be good to go.

Maybe it can't detect it? I know we had to set which CWM version we had installed on the SGS.
Maybe try to run the install?

I don't have the touch version installed (doesn't seem to be the touch version anyway). I should have said this in the first post but it CWM v5.5.0.4.

Flashing CWM over CWM shouldn't wipe my phone right? It's only the stock bootloader that requires a full wipe?
I installed ROM manager and then CWM via ROM manager last night and its CWM v5.5.0.2 which ROM manager thinks is the latest: perhaps it can't deal with 5.5.0.4 yet...

ah, that would probably do it...guess i'll just wait it out a little longer, thanks
I have the exact same issue as this Rom Manager refuses to see I have CWM installed so just keeps telling me I need to install it it also can't download and flash its own version and just freezes after download
So any updates on this or more users experiencing it ?
I think I've found the solution. In ROM Manager tap the menu button at the top and then tap Manual Flash Override. Next it'll ask you if you've flashed CWM manually so tap OK because that's what we've done. Next pick which GN you have and then choose CWM 3.x+. There you have it, it should work now.
Don't use ROM Manager - problem solved!!
Seriously, though, it's a TERRIBLE piece of software
I'm fairly new to using it but it seems decent, why is it so terrible? I had an eris before this and did everything manually through recovery, this seems like it's a lot better than that.
It's just more trouble than it's worth. Why not just manually flash CWM using fastboot and get your head around that as opposed to an app which can - frankly - break things?
Flashing it via fastboot is what causes the above issue. Since you flash it manually rom manager can't see it, that's why I posted the above steps to kind of "force" rom manager to see the manually installed version.
But if you're not using ROM Manager then what's the issue? Copy ROM to SD card, reboot to recovery, flash ROM...where is ROM Manager needed in that equation?
If you're not using it then there is no issue, but this thread isn't about using it or not, it's about getting it to work with the galaxy nexus when you manually flash CWM.
I like it for the backup and restore feature and being able to change the names used to backup
