From what i know...No you can't use Rom Manager to flash CWM. You have to flash a custom kernel and they seem kinda buggy right now. I'm just rooted with no CWM.

thank you much appreciated!!good thing i asked!!!

I rooted and I have CWM and I can get into recovery (power + vol up).
QUESTION: I know I can flash zip files, but having Rom Manager Pro, I can download available roms via Rom Manager. When I click on download roms, it says I have to install CWM (press install), since I already have CWM, should I use this app to install again?

My guess is pressing install will not do anything.

I can answer this question: it is impossible. There are certain problems in work of this Mod. The first: does'nt making full nandroid backup. The second: does'nt flashing boot.img. It is necessary to develop this program still. But something, already is able: root, interface modding, ect....

Howdy.
I have flashed this recovery image and for the first time, can boot into recovery and see what I'm meant to see! Thanks. Previously (2012 hardware) I just hung on the white HTC logo screen.
Now, if I select backup and restore, press the power button, all the text disappears and I'm left with the central hat image... but nothing much happens. Pressing power again brings me back to the main menu. Same thing with -power off. The top option of reboot system now works just fine.
Any ideas? I'd like to backup my current system before flashing WildChild 3, you know - just in case anything goes wrong!
EDIT: immediate edit. cancel all of the above, I'm just new to recovery (obviously!). I went through the main menu a few times, it told me the back button was now active and away I go - backing up as we speak! Apologies!!! and thanks!

cwm
You must press one time into recovery volume + and several time volume - , while apear "back button is enable" and then such as in any cmw.

i.m using now a custom kernel on my wfs2012 (overclocked 815 MGz) without trouble, but i can`t flash any CM roms because it hapens error Status7 in CWM. I think that this CWM is too old to flash CM ROMs. But we have no any choise

[Q] How to get CWM recovery working after unlocking bootloader through HTC

I have an HTC Explorer and have installed CM 9 easily. Unlock bootloader through HTC , install custom CWM recovery using fastboot, then install CM 9 zip from sd card using CWM recovery. I have tried to do the same with my daughter's Wildfire. I get as far as installing a CWM recovery but it hangs at a "hat" icon when I try to use it. I have tried several CWM img files, including the one in the "cm49?" zip. None work. Is there a way for me to get a CWM recovery working? I don't want to go through all the s-off process, I don't think it is needed. My Explorer works great with s-on. I hope someone can help. I promised my daughter I would get ICS on her phone as her Christmas present.

If I'm not mistaken you have to flash the boot.img manually with S-ON so I think a S-Off'd device is much better and it isn't that hard to S-Off it. I don't know if the S-Off methods still work if you unlocked it before but they should.
Besides you haven't taken the CWM from Pico/Explorer and tried to install it on the Wildfire, have you?

Thanks for your reply. All the cwm img files I have used have come from this forum. I had high hopes for the one I extracted from "pc49img.zip" as it seemed to say it might work on another post. It installed like the other but doesn't work.

I got a question are you just unlocked or already rooted on the WF? I think you can't install CWM if you're not rooted. That would be nice to know. Otherwise you can may follow this guide

Just unlocked after following the procedure on "htcdev.com". With my Explorer you can root the phone with the aid of the CWM recovery you install after unlocking it. Maybe the CWM recoveries for Wildfire assume your phone is already rooted, but I don't know how to root it without having a working CWM recovery first.

Yeah you're right. I think the progress on S-ON should be like this:
-flash CWM
-flash superuser rights (thats how it worked on the HTC One X)
I found this:

Thanks for all your help miniAndroidian (the Nexus 4 should be awesome, (I am saving up, but they are not available in Australia at the moment. I told my daughter she should get one too, but she hasn't got the money either, so that's why I am working on the Wildfire)
Unfortunately the post you directed me to says you have to flash the CWM recovery from the stock recovery but I don't have that anymore as I have replaced it with the CWM recovery which just hangs. There must be a way round it, but I am no expert at all.

Same in Germany with the Nexus 4 but it should be avalible in the middle of january
Back to the topic:
You have to put the "update.zip" to the root of your SD-Card and boot into the bootloader menu (the white screen with 3 android's on the bottom) and then it should recognize the new CWM.

Terrific. I didn't understand it. My daughter lives 100km from me so I will have to visit her this weekend. She left after Christmas saying "Dad, admit it you are a failure" after I had spent hours on it, so this might show her I am not as useless as she thinks. I am intending to flash the "mini" CM 9 rom. I hope this is the best one.

I really hope it works (i'm out of solutions ) otherwise you should really think about S-Off'ing it.
miniCM 9 is the fastest one but the sensor buttons don't give a vibration feedback it's a kinda annoying.
Good luck

I have had a very very frustrating day. I tried "update.zip", didn't do anything. I even renamed it "pc49img.zip" nothing. I finally found a windows program called "unlock root". I used the free version. You just connect up the phone via usb and press root. It gets you to confirm it is a wildfire and then after a bit says successfully rooted. I then installed Superuser, Rom Manager and ES File Explorer to check it.
I backed up the present rom successfully with Rom Manager. It even has an option for flashing Clockworkmod recovery and one for rebooting into recovery for manual management. It downloads CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 but it doesn't work either (looking at the files on the SD card I think it is just the same as the "update.zip"). There is also an option for installing a rom from sd card but when I went to this it asked if there was any addon, and of course I need tiny gapps. It then said I need the paid version for this. Seeing the recovery didn't work I didn't want to risk it.
My conclusion is all the present CWM recoveries require S-Off. I have read some people like the Aroma installer. I know nothing about it, but I wonder if it might be possible to install the CM 9 rom with it.

I have worked out what my problem has been. I have fallen for the old Trackball trick. I must be the only person not to know you use the Trackball in CWM recovery not the power button. I sent my daughter an email and she has confirmed the recovery in Rom Manager actually works when you use the Trackball. I will have to visit her again now to install CM 9.

MiniCM9 installed. Working great. I will put a how to in "General"

How were you able to make flashing custom roms work using freegee? I successfully rooted my Optimus G Pro and used freegee to install CWM recovery 6.0.4.7, but everytime I try to flash a custom rom - the phone would reboot after 10 -15 seconds. I followed and installed the custom roms accordingly to the instructions. Can you help me?

There are two different versions of Freegee on the Playstore. One is the free version and One is the paid version. I used the free version and when I open the app to install CWM recovery I don't see the "unlock" option, so I think the "unlock" option is only available in the paid version. Also, when I used the free version of Freegee to install CWM recovery, I can make and restore my nandroid backup. Maybe I need to buy the paid version of Freegee??

no u don't need paid.
also I didn't have the unlock option and I was able to flash.
I would say try twrp.
also are u trying just 1 ROM or have to tried a couple. maybe do that

Check in CWM recovery, before you flash any of the ROM's that LOKI support is enabled, I think you can find it under Advanced and it says something like "Toggle LOKI support"

do I enable Loki after the flash or before the flash? Because I enable loki in the advance option of CWM recovery after I flash a custom rom and the phone still reboots 10-15 seconds. I did all the normal wipes and stuff too. I'm thinking maybe its because of I'm the software version that I'm on which is E98010g.

He said "check before you flash any rom,that LOKI support is enabled"... You should carefully read instructions before you do anything or you will end with bricked device...

For some reason Rom manager cwm didn't work for me so I tried installing freegee from the play store and installing cwm from there.
Since freegee my cwm works fine and I was able to flash.
Have you given freegee a try ?

I'm having the same trouble with recovery. I was on SlimBean for several months and decided to flash a ROM from RadeonMaya, but it wouldn't boot, so I tried to restore my backup of Slim from CWM. It looked like it restored properly, but it wouldn't boot either. I finally reverted back to stock and rooted again, downloaded Freegee and tried to flash CWM. I booted into recovery to flash my Slim backup, but I got an "error loki-ifying the boot image". I tried Phil's recovery, but couldn't boot back into recovery from CWM
Since then, I have not been able to flash anything, and have reverted back to stock probably a dozen times. I've tried TWRP, but can't flash a version that works on 4.1.2. I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I had fun flashing on this phone until these problems showed up, now I'm just going to try to like the stock ROM and hope we get an update to KitKat.

Just a quick question guys. What does freegee's "unlock" feature do? I ask because I don't get that option in Freegee either. Is it supposed to network unlock your phone or? Also, what is the need for the unlock?

Is there any tutorial to do this?

Philz touch cwm is a good one, you can find here on xda, or via Google search. However, my personal experience with cwm touch variant on e980 is that it causes the recovery bootloop (where you just keeps on going back to the recovery screen). Version 6.0.47 is stable , and will not cause the boot loop say when you try to open the recovery by using the up volume + power buttons. This seem to be the issue too with the cwm provided by cm update in the developer's option. Read the postings in the Philz's thread if you want to know more about the recovery loop and the touch cwm.

I get wrong date and time whene i make a backup. I have a E986. How can i fix this?
