Root Root Error

[android_fan1]

I'm a noob to all this. And not surprisingly am stumped. I rooted my phone using the SuperOneClick method. Well, that worked - and it said your phone is rooted and I have the Superuser app. so far so good.

I then went to install a ROM and went through the steps detailed on: How To: Load a Custom ROM on Your Android Phone (After Any One Click Root Methods) | TheUnlockr

In the first step of Flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery, I get the following error:

The exact method can vary, but in general the steps are:

1. Obtain root
2. Flash custom recovery
3. Flash ROM

You can accomplish step 2 using ADB (if you have the SDK installed). See the second example under the Install section, about halfway down the first post here.

Additionally, now that I have rooted with SuperOneClick Method - am I stuck using only one approach to flash a ROM on the phone or once rooted does it not matter what approach you used, can you then use whatever method works to get the ROM installed? Or, do I have to unroot and start over with another method?

Thanks, and sorry for the noob questions.

All rooting is the same. Although given that ROM manager didn't work, I'm guessing maybe your first attempt didn't work for some reason.

Titanium Backup is an extremely useful app for backups, but it will also do a little diagnostic on your phone and tell you if you're properly rooted every time you open it.

Well I gave one more attempt using the Flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery and it worked! I've read in past posts that the server may go down often?

I'm now trying to root another phone - same make and model and running into the same roadblock with ClockWorkMod. I'll just keep trying and hopefully it will eventually work as before.
