Recently a problem has crept up in rom manager that lead you to not have access to recovery. For me it happens when I flash SPRecovery. After I flash it I am completely unable to boot into recovery. It doesnt work from Rom Manager and it doesnt work by holding x while powering on the phone. The phone is able to boot up but not have recovery is a major problem.
Other people are having the same issue but when flashing clockwork.
For most it seems that this can be fixed by simply flashing a different recovery in rom manager. You can flash SPR, Current Version of clockwork, or go under all clockworkmod recoveries and flash an old one. Then flash back to the recovery that you wish to use and it should be fixed.
For me this unfortunately did not work. So here is a couple other ways to solve the problem.
You can use terminal or I will provide scripts to flash the other recoveries. To do this make sure you have a copy of the recovery on the root of your sd card. And be sure that flash_image is in your /system/xbin/ folder.
If you dont have flash_image in your /system/xbin folder click show for instructions

If you want to do this in terminal download terminal emulator by Jack Palevich
In terminal type the following commands for clockwork
Su
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery-clockwork-1.8.1.4.img
reboot recovery
For SPRecovery type the following in terminal
Su
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery-0.99.3b.img
reboot recovery
Now the easier way to do it is with scripts.
Make sure those files are in the root of your sd card and then download GScript Lite from the market. Open gscript.
Then download the following scripts and put them on your sd card in the Gscript folder.(If you dont open GScript Lite first the folder will not be there and you will have to make it yourself.)
Clockwork Script
clockwork.sh
SPRecovery Script
spr.sh
Then go back in to gscript lite press menu then add script then press load file and load the correct script.
Then run the script and you will have the correct recovery. These wont reboot you into recovery you will have to do that manually or use RM.
Any issues with this just ask.
Edit: After flashing like this several times rom manager is working for me again to flash both recoveries. I think doing a flash this way may fix rom manager flashing but I cant be sure. Let me know if this fixes RM flashing recoveries for you.

flash_image
Easiest way to get it to /system/xbin is to use root explorer and copy it there.
If you dont have root explorer you can use adb.
The adb command is
adb push flash_image /system/xbin/
