I flashed alpharevs then downloaded rom manager and had to push that cwm in order for rom manager to work it works just fine just wanna see if there are any major differences known.
None that I've seen so far. All functions work.
Using rom manager is probably the better option. Leaves the door open to flashing roms with rom manager in the future.

I'd rather use Koush's official one, so I'm using the one off of ROM Manager.

I running CM7 (nightly 58) and I already have CWM flashed, but when I open ROM Manager, it claims I don't and wants to flash it for me. Is there any harm in doing this? I have CWM version 3.0.0.5 showing when I reboot, and ROM Manager 4.1.0.0 installed.
Maybe it wants you to update to the latest version? (3.0.0.8)
I don't know, I don't use rom manager..

It won't hurt to reflash on top of it, even if it is already flashed.
The other thing that could be happening, if you delete the clockworkmod folder on your sdcard it will ask you to reflash. It uses the folder to keep track of what version you have.
What it wants to do is flash 3.0.0.8. You can do it with no problems. If you want to switch back to 3.0.0.5, just go to the section at the bottom that shows all clockwork recoveries and choose one.
I'm completely new to rooting and still have a lot to learn.
Today I wanted to check out ROM Manager to search for ROMs - mostly just to try it. Since Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 runs buttery smooth on my DZ I'm not really looking for another ROM at the moment. It runs much faster than Virtuous Unity 2.37 and Virtuous Doubleshot 1.1.6b which I tried out initially.
I used this guide to root my phone after I downgraded it using Setherio's excellent guide and thought I had CWM installed. However, ROM Manager prompts me to install CWM. I double checked the rooting guide and see that it mentions Clockwork Recovery and not ClockworkMod. Are these two not the same thing?
My Clockwork Recovery version is 3.0.2.4 and it works just fine. Will I override this when installing CWM from ROM Manager?
I don't want to break anything now that I managed to get rid of most of the annoying bugs in the official HTC release.
Clockwork and Clockworkmod are the same.
There is a bug in Rom manager in that it doesn't actually look at the recovery partition, it just reports you as having what ever recovery it last flashed.
The rooting instructions does flash recovery, but Rom Manager doesn't realise. There is no harm in overwriting it.
Stick with 3.0.2.4 though, 5.0.x.x is still buggy as hell at the moment for the vision.

Clockwork Recovery and ClockworkMod are the same thing (as is CWM, which is often ised as well).
I'd suggest just flashing the most recent CWM (v3.0.2.4, I think is the latest) via ROM Manager to shut up ROM Manager, it shouldn't hurt anything.

Thank you both for your answers
I'll try reinstalling CWM from ROM Manager when I'm home from work tonight.

Thank you, I took that from Nipqer's post as well. Just came over the EXT4 Recovery thread. Might be I should try that out.

You should check out 4EXT Recovery. It's awesome. I've been using it for two days now and I'm not turning back. It has many additional options, though it's built from CWM. It's the best of ClockworkMod and more.
If you want some more info on it take a look at this thread.

Im just did the root process. Snd everything is working great. I installed rom manager and used that to flash cwm recovery. It says I have it now installed. But when I reboot into recovery it goes into some sort of Android thing. I can't even make a backup. Any thoughts

Don't use ROM Manager to install recovery. It doesn't work properly.
Use the Auto Root package in the development sticky (also in my signature)

I've heard that ROM Manager essentially boots a recovery over your actual recovery, so you don't really have a real one. Like sfhub said, use that auto root package and select C to get CWM on your phone

So I'm kinda new to Samsung community. Just came over from the shift. Basically I installed ROM manager and now I have 2 recoveries. If I turn the phone off then hold volume up and power I get this rogue recovery. If I reboot in to recovery from room manager I have the standard clock work mod recovery. Is this normal? Thanks ahead of time for any answers!

Only portions of ROM manager work on this phone. Recovery is only "fake-flashed" so it isn't permanent.
I would actually suggest you don't use it on this phone due to issues people have had, but it is up to you.
The kernel included with whatever ROM you're running was repacked with Rogue recovery. Rogue is a modified version of CWM. It has all the same tools, but has modified the menus and made other changes. In a nutshell, Rogue is basically CWM, as it's built from the same source.
As sfhub said, it's probably best to avoid ROM Manager on this phone. It's unnecessary and it has the potential to cause problems.
Regarding the kernel, Samsung phones don't use a recovery partition, but rather some kind of RAMDISK on the kernel partition (or something along those lines). As a result, recovery is packed into the intramfs in the kernel. So whenever you flash a kernel, you will also be flashing whatever recovery is included with it. Keep this in mind in your future flashing.
makes perfect sense! Thanks! One more thing...since clock work is temporary can I just uninstall ROM manager and that recovery will go away? I'm using blazer ROM 4.1 if it matters

Yes. I would uninstall it anyway. It doesn't work well for this phone

Hi people.
I was using rom manager for a long time now to backup restore my roms on DHD.
A few days before i try to backup my new rom Blackout ICS Incredible v3.0.0 and my phone freeze.
I went to recovery mode and fix it.
Is there any other app to backup my phone?
Also i notice rom manager update in store.Did they fix this issue ?
Cheers
Use 4ext recovery. It's much better than CWM. It doesn't support as many phones as CWM, but the DHD is one of the few it does. Also any backups you've made with CWM are fully compatible with 4ext. You can get the donation 4ext Recovery Control app from Play Store which has a ton of other features apart from backing up and restoring. Alternatively, if you don't want to pay for the app, you can do everything directly in recovery too. The app is just a frontend to make it easier. Hardly anyone uses CWM + ROM Manager for the DHD anymore because this is better.
Instructions -
1) Go to www.4ext.net
2) Download 4ext Recovery Updater from there (free).
3) Run app and flash 4ext Touch Recovery from it. That's all. You can also just get the paid 4ext Recovery Control app from Play Store (worth it bigtime) and flash recovery from there instead of going to the website and doing all that I said above.

I Use 4EXT Recovery Updater And 4EXT Recovery Control. Its Really Good And User-friendly.
+1 for 4ext.
I never use rom manager - I've heard of too many problems
I use 4ext and I really like it. You may also try TWRP, which is also a touch recovery. However, it's a flashable zip so it may be easier for you to install compared the 4ext recovery updater package (probably not much, I'm just used to flashing a lot of ROMs).
I don't think TWRP is available for DHD, is it?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
TWRP is available for DHD. I used it for awhile on my Inspire 4G, and it also works for DHD. However, I have had problems installing inspiremod for my Inspire 4G with it. It has Goomanager, which is nice. I use 4ext now though.
Oh cool. I wasn't aware of that. I never saw a thread for it in the development forum. How do you install it? Through GooManager?
