ok, I did something kinda stupid, but there should be a way to fix it. I flashed amon ra recovery and then rebooted into recovery. I wiped everything, and was planning on flashing a rom. However, amon ra recovery expects the rom.zip file to be on the root. Also, amon ra won't work with the nand backups I made in clockwork. What can I do to flash a rom to get my phone back? I either need to be able to adb and copy a rom from my download folder to the root, or flash the clockwork mod recovery. However, I don't know where I need to be in order to adb. I type in adb shell in bootloader and it says device not found.
EDIT: Nevermind. I got it finally.

I tried Clockwork mod recovery and didn't really like it. How do I get back to Amon recovery?
Very impractical way but I unrooted and re-rooted, I downloaded Amon's and placed it in the folder for simple root and did that, didn't take long but still didn't have a backup.

I used the fastboot method. Doesn't get any easier than that
I rooted my phone and was able to access Clockwork, but since then I have not been able to boot into recovery. I have gone through many troubleshooting steps including trying to use Rom Manager by clockworkmod to flash a new recovery, trying to go through to root process again and trying to use terminal and adb to flash a recovery. When I try flash_image, it says "flash_image: not found". Rom manager won't boot into recovery. My phone sticks at the exclamation screen when I try to manually boot into recovery. I can't use update.zip because that requires that you have the ability to user recovery. I haven't been able to find any other way to flash a recovery mod onto my system. Is there any way that I can just get the files that are supposed to be installed on the phone and the locations they are supposed to go to so I can just flash them one at a time? Or does anyone have another possible solution?
ESPRDIAG.zip
ESPRDIAG.nbh
ESPRIMG.zip
ESPRIMG.nbh
All those files are showing as missing when I start bootloader.
I think you need to re-root your device if not first. If it is rooted whatever rom you have selected to install needs to be in the root directory of your sdcard. Again before you can flash any rom you need to be rooted and have access to clockwork.
I hope that helps if not try this

Go through the root process again to get back to clockwork to flash a new ROM. Or follow the process to flash the engineering rom, which will save you from having to do all of that to get back in to clockwork recovery each time.
Finally got it to work, but is there any way that I can get it to go into Clockwork every time I boot into recovery without having to flash it again?
Flashing the engineering rom will enable you to leave update.zip on the root of your sdcard and just flash update.zip eachtime you get to recovery to get into clockwork. Or if you have flashed eng build you can start using rom manager to boot into clockwork recovery. Afaik that's the only way to boot into clockwork.

ok so I just for fun tried flashing RA recovery.....now I am trying to flash back to Clockwork but cannot do so. Rom manager says it successfully flashes...and also shows it on the current recovery. but when i boot up into recovery it is still RA recovery. I then try to flash any other version of clockwork and then get the message in rom manager "an error occured while flashing your recovery' Any help or idead would be much appreciated.

Have you tried using flash_image through adb shell to flash the clockwork image to recovery parition instead of clockwork mod? Koush's site has the images for all the different phones. Only link I know is for the February versions.

Well I was able to fix it lol. After trying to flash the clockwork recovery so many times.....I just updated the rom manager app and now it flashes no problem lol. thanks again for the help.
So I don't want to unroot. I have amonra, clockwork, and rom manager. When I boot into recovery it goes straight to ra recovery, I have to flash the update.zip to get to clockwork. I would just like it to boot straight to clockwork or to remove ra
I installed rom manager the other day and updated to the latest version thinking that would overide ra when booting to recovery from rom manager, only for ra to come up saying 'bad' update.
I know this will more than likely be simple, I have done a few searches but not found much apart from unrooting.

you need to re run unrevoked and untick use custom recovery so it flashes clockwork or use custom and select a clockwork recovery of choice
its in the clockworkmod thread in the dev section and the amonRA thread
please read them
Hello!
You need to unrevoked again....Downolad unrevoked for your phone, BEFORE to plug your phone to your computer go in the up left corner and choose your recovery , wich can be amonra or clockwork mod, let computer do the job and voila! You are donne
Thanks you very much dudes. I was a total noob to all things root when I did mine and just followed steps from a mate. I couldn't remember how RA got on there. Cheers

Hey, so I hope you guys check this. I tried running the unrevoked again.
Only for it to seemingly get right to the end and attempt root (I thought it was just going to reflash and slap the clockwork in there) for it to say Error: failed to get root - Is your firmware too new?
Is there an easy way around this? Or is it the rom I am running??
I haveOxygen-20. RC6

You don't get 2 recoveries. If you 'fake flash' using ROM Manager it'll lose CWM instead of your normal recovery
You could try to S-OFF with AlphaRev iso (which will also update the recovery to CWM-AlphaRev 2.5.1.8 with dark blue color)
When you are S-OFF you can update the recovery with fastboot
If you don't want or cannot do all this, you could try to fake flash the CMW 3.2 recovery when you need it.
Fake flash means to load another recovery (3.2) while in recovery (2.5) by simply applying a zip file. You then have all the feature of the 3.2 recovery without permanently installing it.
1) put the zip with 3.2 recovery on your SD card (zip in thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1039954)
2) boot in recovery
3) apply the zip (like you would flash a rom, but it only loads the 3.2 recovery operating system without removing/deleting any file in your phone). You should notice the text color change and a few more options in the menu.
4) enjoy
Fake Flash is more or less what what Rom Manager is doing when you use it to reboot in recovery mode (but it only supports a restricted set of recovery versions that have been tuned to work with Rom Manager).
Another benefit of fake flash is that you can still use your old nandroid backups, as it it not recommended to restore with recovery X a backup made with recovery Y.
here is what happen i was on cm7, i flashed TMartinPPC_EvoGingerSense_v0.1, cm7 was backed up with clockwork where i installed it from, i flashed the gingersense with ra and it just bootlooped so i restored mikefroyo what i had in backeded up with ra then switched to clockwork to restore back to cm7 but when it want to reboot in recovery it just sat at the splash screen, when try to reboot in ra recovery it goes to bootloader, i dont no what to do

Reflash your recovery. If you can boot into the rom, use ROM Manager to flash Amon Ra, or reflash Clockwork, whichever you prefer. If you're just stuck at the bootloader, and can't boot to the rom, then as long as you're still S off, you can reflash a PC36IMG of recovery. I'll attatch Amon Ra. V2.3. Put the file on main directory of your sd card, boot to the bootloader, and accept the update. Then you should be able to boot to recovery.
Thanks, but I was using clockwork 3005, had to flash to 3003

Clockwork often fails to flash properly for me. If you can boot up, just reflash Clockwork recovery and it will fix it. If you can't boot up, which sounds like your problem, just copy the file in the link in k2buckley's post above to the root of your sd card and let it flash from the bootloader, then boot up your phone and flash Clockwork again.
