Root ROM Manager Question

[thirtyfour41]

I just downloaded ROM manager to prepare for when I start trying to install ROMs. I noticed that it's asking me to install the ClockworkMod recovery, which I already have installed, but for some reason it doesn't see it. If I reinstall the recovery through ROM manager, is it going to screw anything up?

Thanks!

no it doesn't screw it up.

I use rom manager and it asked me the same thing. Just let it do it.

I'm going to hijack this thread instead of creating a new ROM Manager Question thread.

So, what happens if you update an installed ROM via ROM Manager? I have Cyanogen 6 installed, and I would like to know if I need to wipe every time I update.

if its the same rom sometimes you can install without wipe but it is always safe to wipe to avoid problems

I have backed up and wiped everytime just to be safe.

What does wiping do, remove all settings and caches from the previous ROM?

every time i download the rom and then select back up and wipe it just keeps giving me a wiped phone with no new rom, and no market. does someone no what i'm doing wrong? also what does the rom download as in the phone when i click to download it.

thanks so much guys

@jddroid I had the same problem. I ended up eventually finding a nandroid backup someone else had posted and got it loaded on to get me back to a healthy start. I think it's part of the CM6 that market (and phone) are missing maybe? I couldn't even get it to boot so you got further than me if that's the case.

Am I doing something wrong or is there supposed to be only CM6 in the download roms section?

When loading CM6 you have to check the box to load Google Apps. It's a two part download. I'm not sure if it's still loading from Rom Manager or not since they suspended the nightly builds.
