If you're using a DX, you don't need ROM Manager! All you need to do is go to the market and get DX Bootstrapper to flash and reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery.
I can walk you through it if needed...

DroidForums Junkie!!

Ok cool. Did you dl'd a ROM with ROM Manager or on your phone directly?

I'm assuming that you can't connect to your home network either.
I called Verizon (didn't mention anything about being rooted). They
had me go to:
menu>
settings>wireless & networks>
wifi settings>
then click on your "network", then >forget.
Then scroll to the bottom and click on "Add wifi Network". You will then need to re-add the name of your home network. Then add your security code. After that you should be able to connect. For whatever reason it worked on my phone and also connected to my schools network when I got there.
I was not connecting to any wifi prior to doing this.

Hope it works.

Cancel that dl'd and get it from the forums directly. I don't believe RM actually dl'ds the ROM to /sd/download. You can uninstall RM actually, it isn't needed at all.

Droid Does...is DX Bootstrapper better than Rom Manager?

Oops...never mind, I think I just realized it's for Droid X right?

Yessir. The D2, D2G, DX, and DPro don't need RM, which has been quite buggy as of late.

Anything better than Rom Manager for the D1?
