Extremely fustrated!!! Please help with ROM Manager...

[bishop7262]

Every time I choose to backup my rom I get as far as the Square with ! icon and it reboots my phone. I cannot even install rom from sd card because it does the same exact thing. The Flash Alternate Recovery is not even highlighted for me to choose that option. I am trying to install my ROM and just cannot get things to work.

Also when I am in recovery mod it shows it as Android system recovery (3e). And an error reading at the bottom E: Can't open /cache/recover/command

Please help!!!

im having the same problem and i do have boot strap....havent got to mess with it much.

just thought id let you know that this might not be the problem

Permission issues perhaps? Run "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager and reboot. Also you do need Bootstrapper. Run bootstrap recovery, then reboot recovery and do everything from there.

Ok now got it work. thank you! BTW, there is not a lot of ROMS for the Droid X like the Droid. Reasons why?

Uh because the D1 came out over a year ago? Lol, also the unlocked bootloader on the D1 helps.

Question, why use rom manager with the X? Waste of time/money when bootstrap is 1,000x better.

I use to have a Droid. So had purchased ROM Manager for that.

Thanks for all the help everyone

Rom manager can be good for finding roms that work specifically for your phone in one place, iow, less tedious than tracking them down on various forums. It would def help if more devs submitted their roms & themes to koush for implementation on the DX tho...
