When I installed ROM Manager, I touched on 'backup my ROM' option. it asked for ClockworkMod so I downloaded it (v3.x) but now it says "an error occured to run privileged commands"... what should I do?
There is no official CWM Recovery supported by the ROM Manager yet. There is only custom CWM Recovery, which you can flash using the tool made by hansoon2000 HTC One V All-In-One Toolkit.
If you already have the custom recovery in your phone it should be able to work with ROM Manager. Try to use the ROM Manager to reboot into recovery and make the backup there.
A direct link to the non-official CWM Recovery here. We had it long before the All-In-One Toolkit.

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
With s=off, can the latest ClockworkMod Recovery be flashed via ROM Manager?
Yes, but not in the way koush has it currently. He needs to update the way he flashes the recovery image through ROM Manager so we can do it properly.
Anyone,
In ROM Manager I choose to update the Recovery and it changes to 2.5.0.7.
If I reboot from ROM manager into Recovery it is 2.5.0.7
However if I power down and come into recovery via Fastboot, it is 2.5.0.1.
So I assume when you reboot it somehow loads the 2.5.0.7 (i would guess this is why I have a update.zip in root after this option)
My question is, how can I permanently update the recovery vs this on the go method?
Thanks,
Daniel
That method only does a "fake flash" of that particular Recovery which ROM Manager can use. It doesn't touch your original flashed Recovery.
The latest Unrevoked will let you update to the latest Clockwork Mod Recovery permanently: http://unrevoked.com/#desire

I have a rootet Desire (via unrevoked) with s-off and Oxygen 2.1.3 ROM. I flashed a new clockwork version (3.0.0.5) .img file via ADB. If I boot my phone and enter the clockwork recovery the new version is used. If I reboot the phone using ROM manager it enters the old version of clockwork recovery.
So I think, I have 2 recovery versions on my phone. How can this be avoided? I just want to have the new one.
Found this in Cyanogenmod forum.
CWM 3.0.0.5 is permanently flashed so it's always there. 2.5.0.7 is a temporary recovery as when you reboot with rom manager, it uses the zip file that comes with it

when i try to use the zip room he tell me
amend scripting(update scripte)is no longer supported
amend scripting was deprecated by google in android 1.5
it was necessary ro remove it when upgrading to clockworldmod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery
please switch to edify scripting(updater-scrupt and update binary)
to creat working update zip packages
installation aborted
what shoult i do to install the room
- Download ROM Manager App from the Market, Open it
- Then Select Install Clockworkmod Recovery. This will install v2.5 on the SDCard
- Select Reboot into Recovery from ROM Manager
- This will take you to Clockworkmod 2.5, then you can install this ROM as usual.
Remember to perform a wipe before installing a new ROM.
Boot your current rom. Root it if not yet. Install rom manager.
Then flash 2.x recovery from ron manager. Then reboot to recovery from rom manager itself. Now install your rom.
For next time to use 2.x recovery, just open the recovery and apply sdcard update (works only if u have flashed 2.x recovery from rom manager for the last time) .
