Can I ask does this rom manager even work on the Defy??

Some custom roms come with Clockworkmod already installed. But stock rom comes without it. I suggest you check first before installing cwm. Clockworkmod normally installed via market download.

Hello guys. I got a question. I rooted my phone a while ago and since I flashed to Myn's RL5 rom (which is the best rom I used anyway), I can't seem to do a nandroid backup and can't boot into recovery. Just wondering if I'm missing something or should I try to unroot and get another evo?
Thanks in advance.

Use rom manager off the market and flash one of the recoveries then try to boot into recovery and see what happens

what root method did you use? Did you flash a recovery during root?
At first, I was using the Clockwork mod recovery and that didn't work. But when I used the RA recovery everything worked out fine. Thank s

Amon RA is the best...backs up WiMax, which is more than RSA keys. Highly recommend to any rooted EVO
What device does a Defy user choose for ClockworkMod recovery? Defy is not a choice.

If you look at the FAQs/guides thread in the Development subsection, it includes a link to a thread detailing how to install ClockworkMod for the Defy.
Thanks for the reference. That's what I needed.

I'm wondering if we can use ClockworkMOD for defy inside ROM Manager. Seems to me it only needs a custom-made recovery.img and we're good to go...
Here's custom CWM for Defy.
Be sure to Thank kb7sqi for his great work!

you can backup/restore your system with Clockwork Recovery manager but it isn't possible to flash a non signed kernel with it.
Just S-OFF'd and rooted my wife's Inc2. Does anyone know if it is ok to use ROM Manager to flash Clockwork Recovery after using the Revolutionary tool to install their custom Clockwork Recovery? The reason I want to is because ROM Manager doesn't seem to recognize the Revolutionary CW Recovery that their tool installs.
Does it work? Will it ruin recovery? What's the story?
Revolutionary doesnt push SU unless they updated it to. And you need root to flash recovery with rom manager. If you cant get recovery installed with revolutionary, youll have to install it with fastboot.

Thanks Times,
I used their tool which (after S-OFF) pushes a custom clockwork recovery which I then used that to flash SU onto it. But now I was wondering if it was ok to use ROM Manager to push a clockwork recovery that it could recognize. But it looks like Beenz was able to with success, just looking to see what others have done or know.
Thanks!
I also have the CWM installed by Revolutionary. In ROM Manager, go to menu --> manual flash override. I've been using it with no problems without having to reflash CWM. The only drawback is that every time ROM Manager starts up, it tells me that there is an newer version of CWM available. Not the end of the world.
So reflash or don't, works either way.
Thanks xenakis.

What Rom did you try to flash and what kind of phone do you have? (Gsm or cdma)

The same happened to me when I tried to install a rom through rom manager, you are just going to have to install a backup or a different rom you did not download from the rom manager.

Just download Rom on computer and put in SD card then flash

I found it. I had to restore and wipe all data via recovery not reboot into an old backup. But I can't seem to find ANY roms that will work on my phone ? Can someone point me in the right direction to one that will work?
For cdma roms, look in Android development forum, there is a new Rom by simonsimon34, team blueridge

Is there anything preventing you from installing ROM Manager from the Play Store to update your CWM? Or using the SG3 Toolbox that contains Odin & latest CWM Recovery?
