I installed the gprorecovery.apk and after starting the app choose the first choice to install cwm witch seemed to go fine. next when choosing reboot to recovery it just restarts the phone. Do I not have cwm?
All is good now.

hey everyone,
So i just rooted my phone using the wiki cyanogen mod, and everything worked great... afterwards I downloaded rom manager and used this method here
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Vision:_Radio_and_CyanogenMod
Method via ROM Manager
Launch RomManager.
Optional: Choose the first option in the app, Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to update to the latest version.
Select the Download ROM option from the main menu in the ROM Manager.
Select the CyanogenMod option, and then choose the latest version of CyanogenMod from the menu.
Optional: When you select the latest version of CyanogenMod, check the Google Apps* option.
Once the ROM is finished downloading, it asks if you would like to Backup Existing ROM and Wipe Data and Cache.
If Superuser prompts for root permissions check to Remember and then Allow.
The HTC Vision will now reboot into the recovery, wipe data and cache, and then install CyanogenMod. When it's finished installing it will reboot into CyanogenMod.

After this the phone rebooted and now it's been stuck on the white htc screen... I'm completely clueless on what to do now.. any help would be great thank you guys
So did you flash a 5.x.x.x recovery from ROM manager? People are having issues with this.
Pull the battery and try booting up again. If this happened on your first attempt (aka it hasnt actually wiped or anything) just go back to your ROM, and flash a previous CWM recovery. 3.0.2.4 works. THEN try to do the process.
All ROM manager is doing here is automating a process you can do yourself. I'm assuming what happened is you're having a problem with the new recovery when it reboots to go to the recovery, it hangs on HTC screen. ROM manager and CWM haven't even had a chance to do anything yet.
Another option is to pull the battery and boot with vol. down + power, then enter recovery. See if it enters. If it does, then you can reboot and run the install from ROM manager and it should work this time. You could also do it manually at that point if you wanted.
For me (and many others) when using a 5.x.x.x CWM recovery, the first boot always hangs at the HTC logo, and after a battery pull and a 2nd attempt to boot into recovery, it works.
if i was at your position and cwm is installed, by look at your post it is installed.
i pull battery out and put it back in. turn on your phone whilst holding volume down.
it will scan for pc10img if there's any dont install it...
then there should be an option for recovery, use the volume rocker to navigate gate and your on button to select.
your phone will restart and hopefully load cwm manager.
if you've got there then you can wipe data and cache then install a different ROM or another cyanmod rom.
thank you guys for all the help! it was much needed, I have successfully rooted my phone and I have cyanmod 7, i'm so glad i didn't brick my phone hahah
Gratulations
Hi all...
Phone = Droid A855
Rooted = Yes, with "SuperOneClick"
ROM Manager v4.8.0.1
Clockworkmod v2.5.0.1
Phone was first rooted two weeks ago and phone was fully up to date at that time.
Problem:
Clockworkmod Recovery doesn't stay after I flash it and reverts back to the default factory Recovery.
Basically, I can use rom manager to download/flash clockwork mod and then I must use "reboot into recovery" for me to use the clockwork mod. this is my only chance to use it. If I restart again the factory recovery is back and what's stranger is that if I allow the phone to load and go into ROM manager, that app reports that I have the clockwork mod flashed.... If I use "reboot into recovery" OR if I do a manual shutdown and use the hold "X" method then I'm back into the factory recovery.
I can only use clockworkmod once and I must boot into shortly after the flash... if I wait too long to reboot, I've found that at some unknown time the factory recovery is once again placed on the phone.
Thank you for any help or tips on this,
TK.
No ideas?.... is there a better place to post about this?
I flashed CWM via Odin and rebooted into Recovery Mode, but there is no option to flash a mod or tar from internal storage. I have 5 options in my CWM menu and they are as follows.
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I have the mods loaded on the root of my internal storage, but CWM wont let me get to them.
I tried flashing a stock recovery via Odin, failed.
I can turn on my phone and it works just fine, but I cannot get CWM to let me root the phone.
Any help?

Are you sure you flashd clockwork mod and not stock? It sounds like stock recovery is what you have. try flashing this in
Odin https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16085428/CWM-6.0.1.2/recovery.tar.md5
Sounds like stock recovery to me not clockwork recovery

This kind of happened to me, I have rooted plenty of devices prior to my SG3 and with CWM flashed through Odin 3.04 (Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time) checked. Everything passed as it should have and phone reboots normally. Upon powering down i went into recovery finding the stock recovery still there, NOT CWM's recovery.
Doing some research I found that if you check ONLY F. Reset Time and NOT Auto Reboot you will flash the device with a PASS and then the Download mode screen will stay on the device. Making sure that you have the USB cable removed at this point remove the battery. Replace the battery and reboot into recovery mode and you will see that your phone goes into Clockworkmod Recovery! BUT you only get this once, you have to repeat the steps using ODIN to flash CWM every time you want to use it, what a pain in the butt, especially if you do not have Triangle Away. I belive this is because of the new OTA update from Sprint (so I've heard).
Now i have the same kind of issue because apparently when i run CWM's ROM manager it says i have no CWM recovery installed after i have done it counless times.
Has anyone ran into this use as well? OP is this kind of the same issue you have? at the top of your Recovery screen it will tell you clear as day if you are using the stock recovery or CWM.
I say take the guessing out of it...Use TWRP

I used odin to install CWM recovery on SGH-T999 4.1.2 . Then rooted the phone. I also installed Rom Manager with the latest CWM Recovery. I can not get into CWM recovery from either Rom Manager or using the Home/VU/Power buttons combo. It always goes to the Android System Recovery. But if I odin again with no Flags, and pull battery after odin , then I can get into it once by Home/VU/Power. Looks like after 1st boot the other recovery takes over.
I tried removing Rom Manager and installing it , but it did not help. Attahced is the picture of the phone when booting into other Recovery.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I found the fix, when booting in CWM recovery the first time, you have to select YES to over ride the Stock recovery.
I have retried flashing Philz through Odin and it didn't help.
After ROM Manager installed updated CWM recovery would cause infinite boot of recovery reboots.
After flashing Philz it tries to go to Recovery then boots normal.
I need my recovery?
I can boot up regular or download just not recovery.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Go to the playstore and download Goomanager and after it's installed
click the right side menu key and select "install openrecovery script"
wait til it gets done and when its done restart the phone.
After that you should have the best custom recovery "TWRP"
it's the best and easiest to use.
No need to use ODIN to flash/install twrp.
You can also do the same thing using
TWRP Coordinator, with that app simply
select "Install TWRP" from the menu.
Either app is excellent and FREE!
Good luck!
Thanks for the suggestion. I was actually able to install TWRP recovery through Odin and will just leave it at that. I did like Philz but at least I have recovery working again.
Many thanks.
