I am unlocked and rooted. I checked with a root check app and it says i am...

Not sure if this has already been posted, but whenever i flash Romracer's cmw5 I can only boot into CWM Recovery under one condition. And that is:
Right after I type "fastboot reboot" and hold the volume down button right as it's rebooting. From here, when I select Android recovery, i can boot into CWM. Any other times, I.E. If i let the phone boot up to the point where I can make phone calls.and other stuff and power down afterwards and try to boot into CWM via Android recovery, the android with the exclamation pops up. At which point, I have to re-flash CWM every time.

Also, I finally found recovery-install.sh, however whenever i try to select it with astro file manager, it says "activity not found" or something like that and won't let me delete it. Does this have any effect on not being able to boot into CWM Recovery?

Thanks for the help, having to reflash CWM is annoying.

PS: I downloaded the file "Blue 5.0.2.7-atrix5 / ZIP version" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 and the file name saved as
"recovery-blue-atrix5.img". So when I type it into the command prompt, I would actually type the exact command of
"fastboot flash recovery recovery-blue-atrix5.img". I know the directions say that the command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img" Is there any chance that my problem is resulting from this discrepancy in the file name?

Update: I found the CWM boot method inside CM7 itself and it works. Does this mean i'm scott free? Or should i continue to try and delete
"recovery-install.sh"?
