Help: Just rooted and cant get into recovery with ROM Manager

[kali77]

Ok, so I rooted my TB a month or so ago and have been having a lot of fun changing rom's, radios etc... and have gotten familiar with everything. So today I rooted my wife's TB downloaded super user and rom manager. When I go into to rom manager and click reboot in recovery mode(going to load a rom and new radio) it reboots and then comes up with a black screen with a red triangle with an explanation mark in it. I than have to pull the battery to reboot. Is there anyway to get into recovery to flash a rom and radio without rom manager?

Thanks!!

Yea no problem, that was one of the first mistake I made as well. Hope your flashing goes well. Remember to do backups.

Edit: I forgot to answer your last question, which is that you should never flash a radio through ROM Manager, but instead you do it through Hboot.

This is the method I have used both times and has worked like a charm http://forums.androidcentral.com/th...ocedure-how-root-thunderbolt-adb-windows.html

Sweet... and this should work just fine with the latest update from VZ as well... right?

I've been checking on that and it sounds like it. Still looking though in the root instruction thread

Not sure when the last update from VZW was, but I know my wife udated her's a couple weeks ago on that update, and I had no problems rooting it today.

That sounds about right kali. I can't confirm otherwise.

It will work, but it will leave you wuth MR1, and be warned, you wont be able to root after the next VZW update (gingerbread).

I had no problem flashing MR2, and the new RUU radio chingy put out, on my wife's TB today. She had the latest VZW update. I rooted her TB today, loaded bamf remix 2.1, and flashed both of the above listed radio's with no problems.
