How can I flash Clockwork mod recovery without using the rom manager app or a recovery? For some reason when I try to install through the rom manager app it won't flash, and now I have no recovery.
SOLVED: go to pvillecomp.com, find the recoveries there, rename to PB31IMG.zip, move to root of sdcard, boot into hboot and it should appear if anyone is wondering.

I rooted my phone and was able to access Clockwork, but since then I have not been able to boot into recovery. I have gone through many troubleshooting steps including trying to use Rom Manager by clockworkmod to flash a new recovery, trying to go through to root process again and trying to use terminal and adb to flash a recovery. When I try flash_image, it says "flash_image: not found". Rom manager won't boot into recovery. My phone sticks at the exclamation screen when I try to manually boot into recovery. I can't use update.zip because that requires that you have the ability to user recovery. I haven't been able to find any other way to flash a recovery mod onto my system. Is there any way that I can just get the files that are supposed to be installed on the phone and the locations they are supposed to go to so I can just flash them one at a time? Or does anyone have another possible solution?
ESPRDIAG.zip
ESPRDIAG.nbh
ESPRIMG.zip
ESPRIMG.nbh
All those files are showing as missing when I start bootloader.
I think you need to re-root your device if not first. If it is rooted whatever rom you have selected to install needs to be in the root directory of your sdcard. Again before you can flash any rom you need to be rooted and have access to clockwork.
I hope that helps if not try this

Go through the root process again to get back to clockwork to flash a new ROM. Or follow the process to flash the engineering rom, which will save you from having to do all of that to get back in to clockwork recovery each time.
Finally got it to work, but is there any way that I can get it to go into Clockwork every time I boot into recovery without having to flash it again?
Flashing the engineering rom will enable you to leave update.zip on the root of your sdcard and just flash update.zip eachtime you get to recovery to get into clockwork. Or if you have flashed eng build you can start using rom manager to boot into clockwork recovery. Afaik that's the only way to boot into clockwork.

So, I have a rooted Desire, now Im trying to load onto it a custom ROM, for that I need the program which would normally be found on unlockr(dot)com. However I can not download it for some reason! can someone please see if they have it when they were rooting? please!
To install a custom rom you need to have a recovery mode installed. The easiest way is to install rom manager. Then install clockwork mod that comes with rom manager. Upon opening rom manager the first thing at the very top of the app is install clockworkmod. Which then allows for boot into recovery for custom rom installation.

yeah, I've done the clockworkmod, that way I installed my stock HTC ROM, but do I install a custom ROM by renaming the file into update.zip and then doing the same thing?!
thanks you your time!
With clockwork mod you can flash any zip file. No need to rename it. I take it you rooted using paul's old method. Than you can just use fake flash to load the recovery. This is a certain zip file named update.zip, which you flash from the stock rooted recovery. Then clockwork mod is loaded.
IT's not too hard
1. Download rom from xda
2. copy file onto your sd card
3. reboot into recovery
Important part!!
DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
i. select backup/restore
ii. select backup and let it rip
iii. return to menu
4. select flash .zip
5. find the rom & select it
I'm looking for a flashable version of clockworkmod recovery. I want to be able to flash it in ra recovery. I know I can use rom manager but thats not what I want to do. I know it can be done I have had it before but I deleted it be mistake
Same here. I did a alternate flash with ra but can't get it back to clockworkmod as a recovery in Rom manager. I fix permissions and still nothing. I get an error saying can't flash into recovery until I flash back to clockwork mod. So my current back up is Ra. What's wrong with this picture? Thanks Xda.

I am trying to update my clockwork mod through recovery, flash .zip, locate the updated zip and flash. It all seems ok with the version but when I boot in the phone and back in recovery it comes the old one. How can I solve this ? Thanks.

if you have s-off you can just flash the recovery image file from fastboot
Use unrevoked to flash it.
You're using fake-flash to run the latest one (or the crap ROM Manager) - as said either run unrEVOked again or, if S-OFF, flash it manually
Hello guys,
I rooted my WF with AlpharevX, I flashed then CM7 nightly build and yesterday CM7.1 RC1. Afterwards I realised that my GPS doesn't work. I wanted to reflash my radio, I have CMW 3xx, so it is not possible to flash it from recovery. I wanted to boot to recovery directly from ROM Manager, where I have 2.5.0.7, but when it reboots I receive only boot image, when I hit the power button I land in Recovery menu but it says, that it is 3xx version. I tried to reflash radio from there but of course I receive error message.
Have you any ideas, why it is like that?
I think, I could try to convert radio with amend2edify and then try to flash it from recovery, have someone tried this?
Reinstall CWM 2.x from ROM Manager. Someone tried to convert the radio file using Amend2Edify, and it didn't work.
Will help in booting to 2.x recovery.
Have u flashed 2.5.0.7 recovery from rom manager. If yes, it will be present in sdcard /clockworkmod/ downloads folder.
First boot into 3.x recovery then install zip from sdcard. Then choose zip from sdcard and selected the path and file. Then it gives 2.x recovery on the fly. And remember radio flashing is sensitive.

thx for answers
2.5.0.7 is present in sd/clockworkmod/downloads, so I try to flash it from recovery and then reflash radio. I know it is sensitive, but it seems that I don't have any other choice. I will reflash the same version that I have, so it shouldn't be harmful. then I will go back to newer CWM Version
done, GPS works
