you should already have a recovery.zip in there. if not, that's your problem right there. rommanager calls

dd if=/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/download.clockworkmod.com/recoveryies/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-shadow.zip of=/preinstall/recovery/recovery.zip

that right there says you need a /preinstall/recovery/recovery.zip file to convert and copy to! if its not there, its because rom manager hasn't been able to create the file, probably because of this memory issue.

so if you have a recovery.zip already in there, delete it and replace it with mine. if it's not there... post back here to comfirm.

Here's what I did:

Attempt 1: After downloading your recovery.zip I copied the file and attempted to paste it into /preinstall/recovery/ (where there was already a recovery.zip). I got a warning that the paste operation would overwrite the current recovery.zip file. I tapped "ok" and the paste operation started. After a few seconds I got a popup saying that the operation failed due to insufficient free space (paraphrasing) and then noticed that the original file was gone also.

Attempt 2: same as above except original recovery.zip still missing.

BTW thanks for the help with this. MUCH appreciated!!

go into /preinstall/app/ and delete any apk's you don't use, NFSShift would be a great one to delete if its there because its huge.

after that, try using rommanager without even doing anything else... it might work if my suspicions are correct.

if it doesnt work, then go back and do what i told you with the recovery.zip and cwm.sh.

Just deleting NFSShift didn't do anything (except give me the additional space). So after I did that I tried your experiment again and it worked!!! I'm able to get into recovery (v5.0.2.0)!!! You are the man!!

Are you able to use rom manager now or do you have to use my script every time?

I've successfully rebooted into CWM recovery twice in a row now and only had to run the script that first time.

I had this same problem. Got it working by just deleting nfsshift and re-flashing cwr from rom manager. Thanks a lot for the good info.

Can't wait to try this out. Had to resort to Apex cuz recovery had run amuck. Hope this works cuz I miss CM7 = )

I'm assuming this is for P3's AIO correct? That's what most ppl are having the recovery problem with.
