sadly its nice to know i'm not the only one having issues with clockwork. i'm ganna chat it up with the dev and see what their take it with my issue. for me, i installed rom manger, inside rom manger flashed clockwork and then (paid for the lic) downloaded chey's 4.2 rom and flashed from there. i'd just like to be able to flash his ULV kernels and other fixes but i cant get into recovery for any thing. was told on my thread i started (before finding this one) to try a different build. looks like 2.0.0.3 might be the fix for me. and i will have to try that before i head to bed.
My problems have been with Rom Manager and not Clockwork Recovery. The safest bet for installing ROM is to power down and hold the x to get into recovery. Automated functions (ie backup current ROM) don't seem to be working too well from the Rom Manager interface. I have to flash an alternate recovery (either an different CW recovery or SP recovery) to be able to reboot into recovery, but even if it successfully reboots into recovery from the RM interface and it appears to be making a backup, no backup exists when the process completes. If I manually enter recovery it works fine.
