I installed the froyo rom and had the .21 radio and tried to flash to the .28 radio and I am getting an error that says can not boot in to recovery recovery is broken any suggestions please help
Boot up then open cw Rom manager and install recovery again
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
um, which froyo rom did you install. the UNROOTED one that was posted first?!? this is becoming a pandemic, we need a new forum called "Don't flash unrooted new OTAs, but if you did post here for sympathy".
Looks like you lost superuser permissions if so its only requires a reinstall. Do you have the zip ?
we would love to know if your phone was fully rooted before you try this update? If your phone is rooted then all you need to do is go back to 2.1 via recovery, using Nanadroid backup off course. Once this is done I would you a different 2.2 rom try flashing it and see what happens...

Ever since I updated to the last OTA I have lost clockworks recovery image. Thus now I am unable to install the latest froyo rom.
I have tried to install the latest clockworks recovery image and Amon_Ra recovery through Rom Manager. Each time it states it is installed but everytime I try to boot up to the recovery image it gives me the following error:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
and it just gives me the Android System Recover <2e>
Any help would be appreciated....
It sounds like you are not rooted.
If you accepted the OTA from Sprint using your system update on your phone, you are no longer rooted and will not have a custom recovery/root permissions. You will be unable to flash any custom recovery/ROMS/delete any sprint apps/Other Root only things until someone comes up with a way to root 2.2.
Have a drink in hopes that a dev will come up with a way to Root 2.2 soon!
I didnt update over the phone
What happened is I installed a rooted verson of 1.47.651.1 but in doing that it got rid of the recovery image... it definetly a rooter version because i can run apps that require root.. such as wife tether titanium back etc...
any other suggestions...

there's an update.zip around here somewhere that will allow you to boot into an early form of clockwork recovery.
so, assuming that you goofed something, but still have nand unlocked....
find that update.zip. put it and a .zip for a real recovery onto your sdcard. boot into hboot, let it run the update.zip, that will take you to koush's early clockwork recovery. use that recovery to flash a solid recovery.
done.
alternative method would be to use fastboot to erase the recovery partition, then put a new recovery in.
Here is the update.zip...Just extract Recovery.zip....Do this OR/AND what the Senior Member above said and you should be good

I actually tried the update.zip one already and it doesnt install... it will stated that the signature cant be verified and it will about the installation... havent tried the fastboot approach... I guess I will need to find out how to do that now
so from the looks of it I am screwed... I have hboot .79 if that matters and from the looks of it the rooted rom i installed screwed up my nand unlock.. which is why i think i can install any recovery images... i tried alot of the nand unlock tutorials and most of them I eventually get to a point were i need to write to /data and i cant because permissions are denied... great... oh well i'll keep on trying... any suggestions are appreciated...
If you still have super user, try this...same thing happend to me.

I'm having a very similar problem also. My Hboot is 0.79.000 too & after trying clockworkmod recovery, a few RUU update attempts, and attempting to change ROMs completely (not in that order) I'm at a loss, no success anywhere. I can't even get in to recovery anymore. It just reverts back to Bootloader menu where my options are Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, or Power down (& I think there is one other option that i tried and sent me back to the aforementioned screen). However, I can still load my pre-existing ROM...
Does anyone have any ideas if there is anything I can do?
TIA

you can erase recovery from rom manager and try to reflash. i would recommend reinstalling rom manager just to make sure it installed correctly. it installed bad on me once and corrupted my recovery trying to update it, reinstalled and installed an old recovery then the newest one and it worked.
Thanks for the suggestions all. I followed the instructions from link you posted using terminal emulator. No such luck, still reading HBOOT 0.79.0000 and running same ROM.
I also tried reinstalling (several times) clockworkmod recovery images and it effects nothing.
Should I try to completely unroot my phone again? If the images i just flashed didn't do it what will?
Im totally at a loss here. ARG!
hit there jtwonbly.......are you also running the stock rooted 1.47.651.1?
Build number 1.47.651.1 CL195459 release-keys
yea same here......and what is it that your trying to do...go back to stock ROM?
I'd like to go to any other ROM. Its as if I'm no longer rooted anymore.
I think I may try to start all over again using NeckFaces old tutorial on unlocking NAND w/o adb. I'm just not sure if that will fix the HBOOT file because I can't get in to Recovery.
OK Guys thanks for all your help but I have been able to get it fixed now!!!
I pretty much had to redo all of Toast Root tutorial and NAND unlock to get it working. Both Part 1 and Part 2 even though I was already running a rooted rom.
The original problem I had is I kept getting told to just try the nand unlock in part 2 but the phone wasnt having it. It wouldnt like the engineering build of the pc36img.zip
So I started from Part 1. Downloaded the rooted rom pc36img.zip and what do you know it finally let me install it. By the time I was done with both parts 1 and 2 I was able to flash a recovery image, get back to hboot .76 and I am now another proud owner of an Evo running a rooted Froyo!!!!
I rooted my EVO 4G yesterday. Everything was going fine until I uninstalled some of Sprint's factory software. This caused my system to behave very weird so I decided to flash it back to the OTA software.
I followed the instructions on android central, but unfortunately the PC36IMG.zip file they tell you to download and install is Android 2.1. I'm now stuck on 2.1, and the OTA update doesn't work. I am new to this and accept that this is my fault, but I was wondering if anyone had instructions on how to update to 2.2?
I tried downloading and installing HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed from this site, but the bootloader screen won't let me install this file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!
What root method did you use?
Also, you can't flash ROMs from bootloader, you need to be in recovery -- when you get to the bootloader screen, go to recovery, press power. Also, make sure that you have a recovery installed (ClockworkMod or Amon_Ra).
From recovery, you should be able to flash to any 2.2 ROM you want (assuming that you have full root/nand unlocked/s-off/whatever else people want to call it).
Also, be prepared to be flamed for posting this in the development section (as opposed to the Q&A).
Yeah, should have done it in Q&A. Sorry for that. Again, noob
I initially used Unrevoked. I had ClockworkMod installed before reverting back to 2.1. It's gone now. Should I just use Unrevoked again to reinstall it?

Go to the market, and download ROM manager. If you already have root, you will be able to flash either Clockwork or (if you scroll down to the bottom of the options when you open the ROM manager app, you will see the option to flash an alternate recovery) Amon recovery via ROM manager. Once the recovery is flashed, you can boot directly into recovery using the ROM manager app. Place the rom file on the root of the SD card, and when you boot into recovery, find "install zip from card" and flash it. Make sure you wipe everything twice before you flash a new rom.
Before you do anything, make a nandroid back-up. If anything goes wrong with the rom, you can always download ROM manager again and revert back to how your phone is now. (providing that whatever went wrong didn't break your root)
Question.... i rooted my phone using unrevoked and installed 2.5.0.1 but now i want to use the 3.0.0.6 i have it downlaoded and on the sd card of my phone and i ran it in recovry and it loads fine how ever when i restart my phone the recovery keeps reverting to 2.5.0.1
could someone just tell me where im going wrong with this XD
cheers the only thing i can think of doing is instaling a RUU then rerooting with a img of 3.0.0.6
Cheers
Hi there,
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901503
Well i have tryed to use unrevoked to flash the img file and it always passes the first reboot how ever it always eather failes with a communications error or it sits on waiting for system to settle. and after a reboot it still running the old clockworkmod recovery
I,ve managed to successfully go through the whole Unrevoked process, selecting custom image, yet I still have the old cwm recovery
Unless I run update. Zip. Or start. Recovery from rom manager I'm still using the old version. Is there something we are doing wrong or is there another method

I have succesfully flashed it with unrevoked. Downloaded it from here http://mirror.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.img
However first time it stucks at htc logo and then unrevoked says "waiting for root (safe to reboot if not working)" or something similar, so i disconected phone, pulled battery, booted and stared all again. This time everything went fine.
Only problem was that rom manager was still saying that im on 2.5.0.1, so downloaded this http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.zip and copied into sdcard\clockworkmod\download\mirror1.kanged.net\recoveries\ and deleted the old one from this path.
Hope it helped...
Finally managed to flash cwm 3.0.0.6 using Unrevoked 3.14. Unrevoked 3.2xx just didnt seem to work at all for me. Recovery is now a joy to use, and performing nandroid backups seems much faster
Sorry for the stupid question, but where can i get version 3.14? when i go to unrevoced.com i can only get version 3.32 wich says "Device Wildfire not supported".
Strange because I've rooted my Wildfire on this PC with unrevoked, so all Drivers are installed and it should work. I think it's a problem with the new version.
thanks in advance
Can't remember where I found it, but I still have it. I'll upload it later
After instal recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.img tru Unrevoked v3.14 there is problem with ROM CyanogenMod V7.0.0-RC2 superuser dont work i need to flash back with RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_C_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.19_release_141106_signed.exe then again run Unrevoked v3.2 and after that do restore with 2.5.1
Unrevoked 3.14, for anyone who needs it

You can't update recovery from ROM Manager. We don't have s-off.
Edit: In fact I'm not sure if ROM Manager can do it even with s-off.
My rom manager recovery is 3.0.0.6
I have described few posts back how i manage to do it.
And i also have fake recovery 2.5.0.1 i some zips have amend script and i dont have time to convert it.

I meant, you can't permanently flash your recovery via ROM Manager. For that you need to use a reflash tool (Unrevoked for us) or use fastboot if you have s-off.
Oh, that, right. Sorry, my mistake.
Flashing recovery without rooting
Is there a way to flash a recovery using unrevoked without rooting?
I really need to send my phone to my carrier so I'm worried that they could find I've been messing around with it and void my warranty...

Are you having 2 superuser app conflicting each other after flashing via Unrevoked 3.14 as it is described in other threads? (ClockworkMod v3.0.2.4)
Okay, so here's the deal. I have an Evo. I rooted it using unrEVOked, updated the Clockwork and all was well. Well I started having a few issues so decided I wanted to RUU back to stock. Well then I noticed it still said S-Off and had the Revolutionary thing at the top in the Fastboot menu. I then tried running the Revolutionary Root and it said it had the S-Off already. It asked me if I wanted to download install Clockwork so I did. Now I currently have no recovery and don't believe I have root. The phone still powers on and works functionally. I am just wondering how to regain my root and recovery. Any ideas?
You have s-off correct but no recovery? Is that right?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yes, and I used root checker and it says I have no root.
Have you tried flashing a recovery like amon ra
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You need the two attached files.
Place the PC36IMG file (after you change the name to PC36IMG) on the root of your SD card. Then run the update through your bootloader (power off, then volume down + power button).
Then flash the su file from your new custom recovery.
Root access is a combination of S-off and the superuser app within whatever ROM you are running. If you had a stock rooted ROM or a custom ROM loaded onto your phone then you dont need to flash the superuser file as these already include superuser.
If I'm reading your original post correctly, and please correct if I am mistaken, your phone was/is already rooted. The only thing that seems to have changed was the fact that you somehow do not have a recovery. Instead of getting flash happy, try loading the recovery first via shorty's attached copy of Amon Ra. Then try to boot up into Android. Then you'll have three options.
1. The phone boots up and you have Superuser in your app drawer: Enjoy your rooted phone.
2. The phone boots up and you do NOT have Superuser in your app drawer: flash Shorty's attached Superuser file.
3. Phone does not boot into Android: Reflash a rooted stock ROM or a custom ROM of your choice.
I suggest doing it this way because you seemed to screw up your phone by doing what most would call a simple flash. It would be counterproductive to risk your phone's functionality by flashing something you don't absolutely need to flash.
I flashed from Juggernaut 3.65 to CM7. I noticed in the Android Market my device showed up as an HTC under the 'Maker' field. I thought I would flash back to the Stock ROM I have and completely unroot/restore to factory settings. I flashed it to the rom using ROM manager and now it won't boot. I can get to the Android recovery, so CWM is gone and I can still try to flash through ODIN but that doesn't seem to work either. Any thoughts?
I also tried reflashing from the UnRoot ROM using Android Recovery and it fails every time.
Thanks
Flash the stock rom rooted with cwr and the super user apk with Odin. Check the dev section.

I was able to flash the CWM recovery file through ODIN. I was then able to use CWM to restore back to the Juggernaut 3.65 but wouldn't let me flash back to stock, not that I'm complaining. It seems to be fully functional again. Thanks!
