already got that bad boy flashed with a backup handy, just in case

You need to root prior to using ROM manager. Doesnt look like unlocking the bootloader is enough. The app errors when running privelage command.

Same here. Were you able to reboot and still get in or did you have to edit that System>recovery-from-boot.p file?

yeah I rooted and then installed rom manager and flashed CWM recovery that way.

Backed myself up earlier today as well. Had to delete that system file though. Renaming it didn't help.

Added to the OP. I knew I forgot something.

Which is why I made this thread. Just go into Root Explorer, go to System>recovery-from-boot.p and change it to "1recovery-from-boot.p" or delete it and you should now have CWM permanently.

Haha, no worries. Your thread made we want to get ROOT done now. Ive been unlocked waiting for the Recovery just haven't rooted. I used Droid Life instructions. I pushed the su.zip to /sdcard/ with adb and flashed the recovery with fastboot. Then booted into recovery and flashed the su.zip. Then Downloaded ROM manager, flashed recovery and am backing up now!

Every time i reboot my phone start with the Android is Upgrading window. Im going to try to delete that one file now. Maybe renaming it didnt work for me either

I renamed the file by adding .bak on the end and also removed all permissions. I have no issues keeping cwm recovery on my nex. Just a suggestion rather than adding a 1 to it. I'm sure both will work. Just remove permissions from that is you have an issue. If you boot and stock recovery is there reflash cwm recovery before renaming and changing permission again
