in Clockwork Rom Manager app, scroll to the bottom to "flash alternate recovery"

that feature is not working with the latest unrevoked. Just do as Karl said.

I rooted today with unrevoked's latest and everything seems to have gone fine. Is there a benefit to changing to the other recovery from the one bundled? Sorry, 2nd day on Android.

Edit: only rooted so I could tether if that makes a difference.

You will probably have to switch to clockworkmod 2.6.0.1 or aman ra 2.1.1. If you want to flash custom roms. Unrevoked jumped the gun with their 3.0.0.5 recovery betting that all the rom developers would switch to the newest scripting language. Depending on which unrevoked you used you may or may not need too. They changed the recovery today to use 2.6.01 to correct the errors people were having. Anyway, the easiest way is to download rom manager from the market and see what recovery it says you have. If it says you have clockwork 2.6.X.X then your good to go, if not you can use rom manager to flash an alternate recovery, aman ra, or flash clockwork 2.6.x.x

OP should have said he used Unrevoked.

Thanks for the info. I don't really plan on flashing any custom roms for a bit, but would like to check on this anyway. However, at the risk of sounding like an idiot, I downloaded Rom manager and do not see the version of clockwork listed. Do I need to select flash recovery to see what I have?

The very top block in rom manager is labeled Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, in smaller type under that label it will list your current recovery. You want it to say either ColockworkMod Recovery 2.6.0.1 or Aman Ra 2.1.1. These are the newest recoveries for all users. They both backup the same elements in Nandroid, they both work with the new partitions and Hboots, they both flash custom roms, they both allow you to change directories on the sd card to search for the .zip file you want to flash. In other words, they are both good recoveries and either will work.

Now, if you look at the top of rom manager and it lists one of the ClockworkMod Recoveries that start with a 3.0 then you want to flash a new recovery. You can do this by scrolling down in Rom Manager and look for the heading more recoveries. There you will see an option to flash RA recovery 2.1.1 or flash older and experimental versions of ClockworkMod. There you will find the 2.6.0.1 version of clockworkmod.

Thanks. I really appreciate the help. I had no numbers listed there, so I hit All ClockworkMod Recoveries. It told me I had to install a recovery, so I did. Then I was able to select 2.6.0.1 and apply it. Not sure if that means I had no recovery or what, but it sounds squared away now.

Are CW 2.6.0.1 and RA 2.1.1 pretty much equal? I downloaded RA from the prior post and can apply it if that will makes things smoother should I decide to flash a rom.

Thanks again. Wish I could hit Thanks more times for you.
