I clockwork mod recovery on my phone now. I have heard amon Ra works better. Is it possible to replace clockwork with amon? How would I go about doing this and is it worth it. Any help would be appreciated. I am still new at this.

FYI questions should go in the questions forum, development are for developers. If you have a question on the developers thread, post in there.
As for AmonRA vs Clockwork Mod. They are about the same. I have heard people have issues with ClockworkMod not wiping the dalvik/cache completely but I have heard that it does from other people.
One advantage of Clockwork Mod is you can use extra Rom Manager functions.

This shouldn't be in Dev, but I will answer this anyway. Easiest way to do this is via ROM Manager. Download it from the Market and when you go into the app, go to the bottom and it will say "Flash Alternate Recovery" (which would be Amon_RA) and you're set.
Sorry for posting in wrong spot. I didnt know. Thanks for the answers. That don't sound too hard. Thanks again.

I would first try it the Rom Manager way. Its the easiest way but for some reason mine doesnt take. If yours doesnt then do the flash_recovery method through ADB.

It is grayed out in Rom manager. I cannot select it.

Maybe you need to enable Advanced Mode in the settings first? Hopefully, that isn't a paid feature.
For the EVO, I think the only option that's a premium feature is flashing the CM nightlies. Everything else should be accessable after enabling advanced mode in settings.
The amon recovery image has to be on the root of your sdcard for rom manager to find it. I have flashed back and forth through rom manager and i dont recall if i have advanced settings enabled. I use amon to wipe stuff and clockwork to flash. I do this because amon does not do file browsing but clockwork does.
You can definitely flash back and forth. And Rom Manager can download either recoveries before flashing. That's how I updated to the current amonRa. But you have to have Clockwork flashed in order to fully use Rom Manager.
Thanks I flashed to AR with the paid version of ROM Manager and it only too a minute. Thanks for the advice because I was wondering this question also.

Ive tried flashing both types of recovery, using a few different methods. Terminal on the phone itself. Bootloader. Through Windows I use the Simpleroot and that didnt work. I get a Build RA 1.8.0 in the RA build and black screen with the Clockwork. Then if i push buttons it restarts. I cant do anything. Im stuck. Sigh. Ive tried asking for help but no one seems to answer.
Have you tried installing Rom manager? You can flash clockwork through it then use it to install ra recovery over it. That is if your rooted already.

Sigh. I thought that would maybe work, it was going find (tried mac installation) and said Done. But the recovery screen came on and it was still blank/black. Nothing happens.
(3.2 was down, so when it is back up I can try that.)
3.2.1 didnt work, got an error, couldnt find misc folder. am i stuck here then. no more roms for me?
PHEW
God damn. Im so happy. Lol. I was able to download clockworks and flash it through the bootloader. I dont know why it wouldnt pick it up before. But now I have access again. Feels good to have control again. If you have problems with recovery, i would say getting PC36IMG.ZIP on the root and going to the bootloader will be best. I just have to get use to clockworks instead of RA!
i am trying to root my Incredible. i am using Unrevoled3. 1t gets to Done. but it doesnt boot to Clockwork. i can see the Superuser icon in apps and in HBOOT it says S-OFF. but wn i try to go to recovery it just goes to a black screen with 2 white lines one on the left and the other on the right. it stays there until i press the optical joystick then it goes blank and reboots
Have to tried to upload clockworkmod recovery through rom mananger? Sorry if you have already tried this. Just giving out suggestions.
no i havent ill check into that

Just looking for a quick response. I purchased and older EVO with hboot .97. And running the old 2.2. Just want to know what the best root option is. I was gonna use the universal root but Im antsy and dont wanna wait an hour for the download. I am versed in adb so I dont mind using it.
Thanks.
I used unrevoked. Just go to the website and it's pretty fast and easy. Once rooted I cant remember if it automatically turns s-off or if you have to flash unrevoked forever. I'm pretty sure it does it automatically. PM me if you have any questions on how to do it.

Thanks. What about nand off? I noticed some roms require that.
Unrevoked will give you s-off so you'll be fully rooted and able to flash whatever you want.

I think you mean to say nand unlocked. That is when you see s-off instead of s-on in the top of the bootloader screen. Like I said, I'm pretty sure when it roots it will turn s-off(unlock nand) automatically. If not go back to the website and click where it says unrevoked forever. Oh yeah dont forget to make sure you choose the correct phone when entering the website, lol. When you click on unrevoked forever it will give you the guide and somewhere in there it will tell you how to turn s-off and give you the download for it. Then you can go flashing away, ROMs that is.
My personal favorite is Myn's Warm rom, Riptides colorNclear w/slayers transitions theme, and calkulin's new kernel. This kernel will give you astounding battery life. Here's the links

Thanks guys. Took a couple of tries but I got it rooted. Im gonna check on the s off.
Booted into bootloader. It says s-on. So I need to flash the Unrevoked Forever?
That's weird. It should have set it to off but no worries, just do unrevoked forever and you'll be golden.
yes, flash that and your golden
Thank you fellas. Everything is good to go. Im glad I made the switch, great phone, great people. See you in the forums.
Lol. Ill keep the dumb questions in this thread.
Can I flash Amon Ra Recovery through terminal emulator like the Hero?
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recoveryname.img
??
Im just used to Amon Ra.
Or.... If you can just tell me how you typically wipe with CWM recovery.
And.... How to partition the SD card with CWM.
Ive been an AmonRa user since G1, And also most will tell you Ra is best for wiping, You dont really need to partition your sd card for the Evo, but do so if you wish. See you on the forums. Before I forget check out the Netarchy kernels ; )

I'm pretty sure that that is the correct command for flashing recovery, but I always just used ROM Manager to do it. You can download it from the market, and it even though it only works with clockwork, it does have an option to flash an alternate recovery, which would be Amon_Ra.
Hey guys, my phone runs MIUI and Tiamat. Every time I would hold down the power button to select recovery, it would go into hboot. And if I tried going into recovery from hboot it would just go back into hboot.
I downloaded clockworkmod rom manager and tried getting into recovery from there and still no go.
What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried reflashing your recovery?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app
The way they suggested to disable fastboot is for a stock system. I don't know if you can disable it that way with MIUI. I know you can't do it that way with CM7, which is similar to MIUI.
Do a battery pull, boot into bootloader, then try to go into your recovery from there.
Oh, and get rid of CWM. Flash AmonRa to your phone instead.
I encountered this today. Reflash recovery and then use rom manager to reboot into recovery.

I'm planning to replace CWR with TWRP and ROM Manager with GooManager. After I install GooManager and TWRP, will I need to manually delete the backups made by CWR (blobs etc.)?
Yes, if you want space on your internal storage (or wherever you're storing them). Better off deleting them because they're not compatible anyways.
Just delete the clockwork folder in your internal storage or SD card.
So is Twrp actually the better recovery to use as apposed to cwm?
I've personally found TWRP to be more consistent than CWM's touch interface... (use it on ~ 3 devices a this point... T989, T999, and hp touchpad..)
Works pretty well...

It's all up to preference honestly. I haven't had any issues with all the available recoveries but I prefer CWM 5.0.2.7 because of the Darkside scripts. (They were made specifically for CWM 5.0.2.7, but also work with TWRP last time I checked.) Never had an issue with the recovery and all the ROMs I've flashed have all worked perfectly well.

Good advice re: deleting CWM

I agree re: figuring it out for yourself. (I de-bricked my KF2 yesterday, thanks to a Xubuntu - Adb tutorial.)
