latest version of rom manager always downloads a fresh copy...any way around this?

rom manager does not do that.
it will check the recoveries folder first.
if the newest is there, then it will use it.

just double checked the change log...since 4.4.0.5 "Flashing recovery no longer uses cached recovery files and forces a redownload"

every time i select flash recovery it redownloads

do you have version 4.4.0.7? it just came out a few hours ago.
that function must have been left out on 4.4.0.6, cuz it's been working for several people over the past few days.

yeah i was on .7 but since rom manager is a system app on cm4dxgb i was able to go into manage applications and uninstall updates which took me back to an older version.

now i have another problem though. i was able to flash 5.0.1.0 but when i go to install the 5.0.2.0 zip it hangs. i have waited about 10min and nothing. if i pull the battery it boots as normal, i reboot into recovery still says 5.0.1.0.

any ideas?

thanks

Hmmm...not sure what could be causing that...other than a bad download

just tried it again and same thing

Just a couple guesses...
Turn off debugging mode and turn of quick backup and restore in rom manager

Hey sorry I guess I don't know the backstory to this. Why does this process even need to be done? I flashed from the older droid x 2nd-init to 5.0.1.0 then a few days later to 5.0.2.0 all with rom manager, no problems. What problem are other people having?

A lot of people are flashing the new cwm recovery and no longer being able to boot into cwm recovery. This is a fix for them
