I have no idea where to put the new ra-evo recovery file so that fastboot sees it. I have looked sorry for the stupid question
your fast boot should be installed in ur android sdk tools folders so if thats where ur fast boot is then put the file in the tools folder
Fastboot flashes files from your computer not on the sdcard or anything.
Ex. Fastboot flash recovery /User/downloads/recovery.img

i am so confused
so if I am rooted and unlocked and I already have the original amon recovery i just put the new amon recovery in the tools folder. then how do I get it on my phone
if you already rooted you should have android sdk installed
easyest way
go to start
my computer
c drive or your main drive
android sdk or sdk (wat ever you named it)
tools folder
put recovery in tools forder
open a command prompt and
cd \android-sdk
cd tools
now your in the tools folder
fastboot flash recovery /recovery.img
it is easyer and faster no searching for the files if you put the recovery in the tools folder its already there no going to filesfoldersdownloads you dont need them commands its faster and easy look through the adb and sdk guides it has all commands and most recover forums tell you all this
so i need to change the name of the amon recovery image to recovery.img
No he was just using recovery.img as a example.

Here's how i did it this morning, downloaded file to pc, connect phone as disk drive, opened disk drive, placed the amon file into the sdcard, changed phone back to charge only, went to astro to verify that the amon file was on the home list of files, then wen to market and downloaded terminal emulator free, and just follow Amon's instructions to apply using terminal or adb, it was reall easy that way, i kept trying to load the fastboot way and just couldn't figure it out, so i tried this was and perfect, new recovery, and hopefully i can wipe dalvik now.
You don't need fastboot to flash a new recovery image. Like tomh said in the post above this one, put the new recovery on the root of your sdcard, open a terminal emulator on your phone and type the following:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name_of_recovery.img
I haven't used my computer to update a recovery image since I first got my Hero.
with a terminal app you'll want to use this exact cmd's
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
that's just as amon_ra has it, same as what i used as well.
thanks for the help

Somewhere on your PC. You just have to give the path to the fastboot command.

Root your phone..
i jsut use rom manager. I am to lazy to do everything else currently rom manager has the latest amon ra you can tell it to flash as an "alternative" recovery. takes 2 seconds and no typing out "long" commands in terminal.
i was under the impression i was rooted...i did the OTA update to 2.2 then used the method to root that came out a week ago using unrevoked3 and unrevoked forever. but instead of going back to a rooted 2.2 i stayed on a rooted 2.1.

Huh, that's weird. What rom are you using?
If you're using a rooted rom then you should be getting a # when you type "su" into the terminal..
Do you have the SU app installed? Did you get an SU Permission request when you opened the terminal for the first time? If so, did you grant the terminal emulator SU permission?
im using a stock 2.1 rom and i do have superuser permissions installed. i also have setcpu for root users installed and "su" grants "setcpu" permission.
i also forgot to mention that i also put a "netarchy kernal" on their also which appears to me, works as it said. right now if i want to go into recovery it goes through clockwork, but i want to get amon ra's recovery on there instead.

hmm.. which 2.1 stock? Was it a rooted stock (with busybox and su already in there) or did you install the su app?
Although sounds like it already had busybox if setcpu is getting permission.
If you are near your computer see if you can get a # using the adb shell. I'm a little stumped here..
the 2.1 stock came with the "su" already. i just posted a quick update on the my previous post that i flashed a netarchy kernal on my evo also. i dont know if that helps but i just forgot to mention it...
please bare with me, im by my computer and to go into adb shell do i need to plug my evo in as charge only and open a cmd from android tools to see if i get # ???
Okay, I am getting ready to root my phone tonight...
As far as all that - I think I got all that covered.
As far as flashing a recovery - I want to use amon-ra's - RA-evo-v1.8.0 found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
In that post it gives two differant ways to flash the recovery:
via fastboot
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode
fastboot devices(press enter) (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img(press enter)
via terminal app or adb => Make sure your rom contains flash_image!!
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app or launch adb
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
My questions are:
first of all - what is "Fastboot"?? I mean is it an application that I can download and install it this way?
second of all - what is a "terminal app"
&
third - what is "adb"?
I keep hearing the term "shell", is a "shell" the same as windows command prompt? Or is that "adb"?
I know these are probably stupid questions for most, but I like to have every thing ready to go before I tackle projects...
Any guidance would be greatly appriciated!!

Another option is to install ROM manager and install AmonRa that way. (think you have to pay) Open it and click on Flash Alternate Recovery.
Terminal app is just an application providing terminal-like access to the system. Imagine the command prompt on a Windows system, but understand your phone is running Linux underneath the hood so the commands are different.
adb likely is an acronym for something along the lines of debugger or something. It essentially allows you to communicate with your phone from your computer. So, go to a command prompt and you can enter commands to execute on your phone via adb. (shell = command prompt, adb runs within the shell/command prompt)
You're right in trying to find out as much as possible before tackling something like this.

Great, thanks for the response! That helps alot - I searched around a little while waiting for a reply and still didnt clear any thing up. I have already DL'd ROM Manager and I will just use that... I just like to have as much info as I can...
Thank you!

How are you going to root? if you are going to use unrevoked (doesn't work with hboot2.02) just open unrevoked without the phone connected and then point it to the amon-ra recovery.img you downloaded, up at the top its under file dropdown or somewhere up there then unrevoked will flash ra for you automatically
fastboot is an option under HBOOT(power of your phone power on pressing power and volume down it is the first option)
terminal app is an app that is like the command prompt in windows on your phone a good one is terminal emulator
adb is is Android debug bridge like stated above. it is for people that like to use the cmd(command prompt) on your computer to do things with your phone like pulling apps off your phone, pushing them on your phone, and other like this most of this can be done using root explorer to place the flies or making a flashable zip. another thing adb is used for is getting your phone out of boot loops that you cant any other way. never had to do this so dont know how. i think adb and adb shell are basically the same thing not 100 on that one. here are some likes about adb for you

http://www.gadgetsdna.com/android-terminal-adb-shell-command-list/1168/
as for using terrel_b's suggestion this is a good suggestion. using rom manager you can flash your recovery this way it is very easy way to do this it is free there is a paid version of rom manager it is for using extra things on clockwork recovery, so basically the only thing you will use rom manager for, if you decide to use it, is flashinf your recovery unless you use clockwork. the reason clockwork is not used more is that there are questions if it wipes everything properly and if something is not wiped right it can cause lots of problems. of and just in case you are wonndering rom manager is an app you can get off the market.
hope this helps and if you need anything else ask

Very helpful info - thanks!! I have already DL'd ROM Manger Pro...
Okay - another question, can i place the amon-ra recovery on the SD card BEFORE i root the phone or should I do that AFTER I root the phone? Just curious, I dont even know if it matters one way or the other... Just want to be sure before I do it...
Okay - I ROOTed using unrEVOked3.... Success! I do have a question though - I clicked on the superuser icon and nothing comes up?!? Is that right? I thought it was an app that gave you all kinds of stuff?? I guess I could have misunderstood the purpose of "superuser" - Also, After ROOT, I have not installed a new ROM yet - does the 4G still work with the stock ROM? I clicked the 4G button and it still says 3G... anyway Im gonna flash the Amon-Ra recovery now...

Well superuser gives root permissions to new applications loaded on a rooted android 2.2 platform phone.
To load a new ROM, flash via first on recovery.
Hope that helps, sorry I was being in a bit of short there eariler but I edited my post right I hope, others can check too.

I do not have great 4G signal here at my house, so that may be it as well... I will mess with it and see whats up through out the day and let you know tonight...
I have noticed that my touch screen doesnt seem as responsive as it was and the phone in general is kind of glichy...
Ok, my 4G is still working... I must not have had a strong enuf signal at my house for it to kick in... No I'm having problems getting tether to work... I started a new thread on that one though...

I followed all the steps from the Wiki: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD).
Now the problem is when I go to verify the root. On the Wiki, where it says run "su' in computer ADB shell, I get access denied. When I run "./gfree_verify" in computer ADB shell, I get
Error: Could not open modem device; /dev/****
Error: Verify could not initialize device
But in my apps on the G2 I see an icon for superuser permissions. So did the root take or not?
Thanks for any help, new to Android.
Go in to terminal on your phone and type SU
After pressing enter if it says permissions denied, you have no root, if a Su message pops up click allow... that means you have root
Edit: I think you have no root

After typing Su in the terminal on the phone, I get a message pop that says either allow or deny. I click allow and it gives me root permission.
Then it`s OK!
After reboot/or try again,open terminal emulator on your phone and type "su".
If you get a superuser prompt, you have root!
After "su" you should see a line with "#".

After a reboot (two actually) after I enter su into terminal I dont get the popup anymore asking allow or deny. I get "#." I actually went through the whole rooting Wiki steps again, to root the phone (just cause I wasn't sure if I was rooted). Same results, the gfree-verfiy doesnt work and neither does the "older" method. But I get "#" after entering su in terminal on G2.
I also installed Rom Manager, I clicked Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and then chose Backup Current ROM. It asked for superuser permissions and I allowed it. It rebooted the phone and went to a ClockworkMod Recovery screen where I selected reboot device. Does this mean I backed up my current Tmobile ROM?
Another question, is it okay to delete the files I had to push to /data/local to root? How would I delete them?
I want to really thank you guys for all the help.

# sign means your rooted or have su access.
Go under manage and restore backups in rom manager, you should have a copy of the rom you just backed up. Unless you renamed the back up its probably a date.
Its ok to delete the files you pushed to data/local use a file manager like root explorer.

If you choose "Backup ROM" you phone boot into Recovery,then you have

Otherwise you don`t have a backup

You should really have posted up in the existing thread about gfree on this, or otherwise in the Q&A forum
But anyway, yes, those file managers don't handle root. Well, ES does have an option to do so, but it doesn't work on the Vision. So you'll need a root-capable file manager, as joemm said.
On the backup, that sounds a bit odd, but you'll know that it's doing a backup because it'll take a while. You'll get a different screen where it shows you it's backup up the main phone partitions, and even which file is being backed up. When it's done, make sure you copy this backup somewhere else, like your PC (i.e. so you don't just have a single copy, in case something happens to it - e.g. corrupt SD card).
Thanks to everyone who provided insight. I had the same problem and was worried about bricking my phone, but this worked and I'm happily rooted!
Okay, so i know several of you, like myself, have been trying to flash the recovery 3.x using flash_image through terminal but keep getting an error. This is because the rom you are using doesn't have the flash_image file in the /system/bin folder. I found these instructions on another section of the xda forums.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any damage done to your phone. do this at your own risk..
1. Download and extract the file i have attached.
2. Copy the file to the root of your sdcard.
3. Open the terminal and type in these commands.
su [hit enter]
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system [hit enter]
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin [hit enter]
Now your able to flash recovery 3.x from terminal using these commands
su [hit enter]
flash_image recovery /sdcard/(recovery name).img (recovery name is whatever you have your recovery 3.x named)
i hope this helps at least one person...
Happy Flashing
Thanks bud, saved me the trouble .
No problem...like I said , if it helps at least one person im happy to know it was worth my time...
1. Make sure you have Rom Manager Installed (Free in Market).
2. rename "recovery3......img" with "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-glacier.img"
3.put this "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-glacier.img" on sdcard/clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/
4. Open Rom Manager and choose 2.2.1.4 from "All ClockworkMod Recoveries"
that earlest !!! then ClockworkMod Recovery v3..... will now be installed on your phone.

I wonder if this procedure requires busybox?
Okay I have tried multiple methods as posted in this section and I cannot get to Clockwork recovery 3.xxx... I did it once before and then reverted back to the version flashable via Rom Manager. It takes me straight to fastboot when I try to reboot into recovery. Any clues what I'm doing wrong? I'm running CM6 currently and I'm slightly annoyed that I got it to work once but can't again

Have you tried to go into Rom Manager and flash the latest recovery for your phone? You can also try my method of installing ClockworkMod Recovery. It can be found HERE. If you have ADB/Fastboot set up you can also try pushing a new recovery img to your phone. If you dont have ADB set up you can use MY GUIDE to get it set up.
It sounds like your phone cant find the recovery img (could be missing).
Hit me with a PM and I can help walk ya through it if you need.
help. i downloaded the file and flashed it. i was able to boot to clockwork 3.0 and flash cm7. now when i choose 2.5.1.4 it says "an error occurred while flashing your recovery". not sure what to do. i can still get 2.5.1.2, but it won't let me get back to 2.5.1.4 which should be 3.xxx. i would like to flash to a newer nightly, but can't get the clockwork 3.xxx.

If you are on iced glacier try going into your settings/applications/Rom Manager and uninstall updates. Then go back to Rom Manager and try flashing 2.5.1.4
i am on cm7 nightly 24. i thought i would try to uninstall updates anyway. i went settings, applications, manage applications and rom manager is not there. i went to the market, thinking i would uninstall and reinstall rom manager and it only gives me the option to open. no uninstall. not sure what to do now,

Might be something wrong with your permissions! Does this happen with other apps or just the gallery?
Try one of these....
1. Bring up the Terminal APP....Type
su
fix_permissions
If you don't have the terminal app and want to do it via ADB
type this in via ADB
adb shell fix_permissions
From Recovery
In Amon_Ra's recovery, the fix_permissions script is run by selecting the 'other' menu then selecting 'Fix apk UID mismatch' .
In CM-1.4 recovery, it must be run manually from console (alt+x on G1) or adb shell, as above from terminal except 'su' is not needed.
Once you get done fixing permissions do a reboot and you should be golden!!
2. Boot into recovery, wipe and re-flash the MIUI rom again and that should fix your problem!
3. Post this same exact question in this forum and see if someone running the same exact rom you got can duplicate your problem and fix it!
