Default [Q] Help with recovery

Ok, so I have been running a Honeycomb rom but wasnt happy with it so I decided to try a different one. In the Roms directions, it said to be on a stock 1.2 rom. So I downloaded the one from its instructions and flashed. All went well, it booted into the stock rom with no problem. So I put the new HC rom on my sd and renamed to update.zip. I booted into recovery and noticed that the recovery was reverted back to the stock recovery. I thought, no big deal, Ill just flash the rom from that recovery. Well it kept aborting the install for some reason. Doesnt give an error, just says installation aborted. So I figured it was the recovery that was the problem. I downloaded CWM 0.8 and followed instructions, put the recovery folder and the update.zip on the sd card, I booted into recovery and the installation bar came up like it was installing, then switched back to the stock recovery. I assumed all went well and rebooted the device then powered off again and tried to boot into CWM, shows the three birds and the recovery key detected but doesnt go any further. I can power the device off and boot it back up into the stock rom but every time I try to boot into recovery, it does the same thing and gets stuck. Any help would be great.

CWM v8 isn't compatible with 1.2 branch.

Feeling overwhelmed by all these instructions meant for smarties? Well, you're in luck because I've made a Viewsonic G-Tablet For Dummies where all the instructions are dumbed down for dummies.
