ok so i've rooted my phone and i'm running leedroid. i have the clockwork recovery installed and have been running this rom for a few months now. I want to flash the amonra revocery as i believe it lets you format an ext3 partition where as clockwork only allows ext2. But i cant figure out how to flash it. people have said use unrevoked again to re-root your phone and just choose a custom recovery, but it wont successfully complete the root again a second time even if i DONT use my custom recovery image....any ideas? how can i do this?
I wanted to do the same thing. I simply re-rooted my phone with unrevoked !

when i download anything from rom manager i wont install it just goes the clockwork main menu then i restart phone go back into rom manager and he tells me clockwork is broken not sure what to do
i can still nand back up and restore and install zips it just has to be done through clock work which means i cant do the adons for virtous rom and such any ideas
I would unroot leave s-off alone them re-root and reinstall the custom recovery. that is one program you dont want crashing while a flash is in progress. you may end up with a $600 brick.
i reflashed clockwork and no avail it still says recovery failure in rom manager any help would be great
Try, in ROM Manager, flashing to a downgrade of Clockwork, back up to the current one, and Fix Permissions. That's what ROM Manager says to do, but I've never had it work. I've used Jonathan062 suggestion in the past, and it worked.
works fine for me, i have 2.2 with root and S-off and i just hit install and it worked fine.

Yes, your nandroid will still work. You can actually take your nandroid and restore it to a completely different Incredible.
Are you talking about the Amon_Ra style recovery? I haven't tried it, but from the thread linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758874&page=11 it looks like people are having mixed success.
Being thick here but i cant find my answer..
ROM manager shows Clockwork Recovery as 2.5.0.7 but if i actually boot into recovery it is showing as 2.5.0.1??
How do i flash the new recovery so it actually uses it??.. Or is it not worth it??.. ie if it aint broke dont fix it??
Cheers
use unrEVOked 3.21 again and it'll flash the new version
Will it wipe all my stuff on the phone??.. Running DeFrost 4.4 with no issues at the moment.. so dont want to bugger it up if new recovery is not worth it?
I dont know, I only used 3.21...otherwise just use fake flash
Not really worth it if you're happy with it

no its just a recovery image it wont touch the way your phone is
Havent a clue how to use fake flash.. think i will leave it.. Appreciate replies
If you boot into Recovery via ROM Manager, you are using fake flash!
Essentially ROM manager sticks an update.zip file in the root of your SD card and reboots into recovery and "fake flashes" this file - essentially it runs your latest ClockworkMod Recovery, but it can't actually really flash to to the phone, which is why you need to use UnrEVOked.

i have an evo that i rooted... and flashed clockworkmod.. newest.. then i tryied installing a sense HD Rom but it just installs the boot splash screen and after the animation its just a lit black screen... so i decided to flash RA recovery from Rom manager and i forgot to nand back up.. i flashed echoHD Rom and same thing it just booted the animation and thats it.. it dosnt load the Rom.. my main problem is that im trying to go back to stock because i forgot to backup.. but i dont know which pc36img.zip file to get... my phone is S-OFF, 2.10, android 2.2, and some 3.6 or 3.7 thing.. and version 003.. please help.. some one direct me to the .zip download to flash from recovery to go back to stock.. at least from there i can either root again if i loose it or install rom manager and restore from my previous restores.. oh yea.. i forgot to mention that.. i have 2 restore saved in my SD but from clockworkmod recovery.. and dont work when trying to restore with RA.. please help...
i downloaded this .zip... withh this one work?

yeah you can't go from clockwork to amon ra, and use the same backups. you have to download rom manager again and flash back to CW then you can boot into recovery and you'll be able to access your backups. As far as un-rooting, once you are rooted you should be good, have you tried wiping all data and formatting your cache before flashing? if not that may be a good place to start, once rooted as long as you can access your recovery, i would just move forward and find a good Rom that works well with your device. I run MIUI .1.21.2 with 1.6 cfs sbc kernel and it runs amazing on my 003 hardware device
thanks... well i managed to recover flashing that .zip and im now restoring to the one i had saved from clockworkmod... soo im very happr.. i was scared out of my life...
now about those roms... ive triedflashing as i said the sense HD roms but no luck.. what could be the problem.. are there any out there that will work for my type of devive with these new updates...?
i dont really like the muiu rom.. im obsessed with the sense HD type that has the skins and stuff like that.. i hope when the thunderbolt from verizon comes out .. since its cdma someone will port its sense HD to the evo..
What happens when you flash those specific ROMs? Tried changing around your kernel/radio combination? Sometimes it takes a little tweaking to get it running stable.
As far as boot sticking on the boot animation, you have to wipe data and dalvik-cache before installing
I don't want to make this long so here goes. I don't have a clue what happened but it some how worked.
I just wanted to root my phone so I went to this site and followed the instructions to the key.
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-new/
I had problems with step 10 and I dont even know if i properly saved the wimax what ever the hell that is/
When the bootloader came up it would just load from the sdcard and load up the " PC36IMG.zip" and and update.
I was never able to do step 11.
I kept going back and forth trying to repeat the step and that z4 app would never let me unroot and i repeatedly rerooted.
So I decided to reset my phone and sdcard hoping this would reset the whole process.
I then found something else to root. This website.
http://theunlockr.com/2010/07/20/how-to-root-the-htc-evo-4g-unrevoked-method/
Unfortunatley I didn't follow the instructons right because I am a damn fool.
So I went to straight running the unrevoked app without running the modified Android USB driver. Wierd thing is that I already got that superuser ninja looking guy in my apps. I was able to use wifi tether.
Now here is the thing, I was never able to do that recovery thing with that little black screen with green letters. It seems that I skipped that step to recover something. How can I redo that?
When I went to ROM manager and tried to install a ROM it says "flashing an update package on a recovery other than clockworkmod recovery may not work properly. Proceed?"
Does that mean it won't work? Im afraid to push Proceed.
Hope I made sense for someone to help. Its a giant mess... I wish I could start all over...
Boot into the bootloader and accept the update and reboot, that'll install a recovery for you.
Also, you're using the paid version?

Dude I love you. What about when loading the ROM from ROM manager, "flashing an update package on a recovery other than clockworkmod recovery may not work properly. Proceed?"
What is clockworkmod recovery, what does it do, where do I get it?
Oh and yes i am using the paid version, why should I get my 5 bucks back?

Clockwork recovery is just different from amon_ra. You can go into rom manager and click flash clockwork recovery, if you wish. And that message means like flashiing clockwork on amon_ra , you may get errors. Also, you can use clockwork on amon_ra, as to still download roms, but you can't backup with it.
I also want to add ever since I tried the root, it took my phone back to the stone age. I los the newest htc update with swype. Why is that?
The Rom Mananger isnt working for me either. It wont load any ROMS. IT says downloading but nothing ever happens, how long does it take to download a ROM?
I downloaded this OTA SUPERSONIC 3.70 and it wont load either? Whats going on .
I really need some major help!

I'm not sure why you would root your EVO without knowing anything about the process or at the very least the terminology, but it's not too late. I recommended that you go and read and get a better feel for the process.
There are at least a dozen threads on the subject. Here's one to start you off Helpful Threads.

Have you tried in recovery to complete wipe. Also your SD and then flash the .zip again?
Yes.
Is there an way to reflash the recovery without Pc ?
I only made it this way since today.

There is a way to do that directly in rom. But you cannot start one. So as far as i know, you are answer referring to your current situation is: NO!
suggest
I haven't understand what is your problem, so I reply with 2 problems and relative solutions.
1. If you want to change ROM, you have to verify the necessary hboot. Ex. For AceSmod007 you can use cm7 or stock hboot, but you must flash the right zip.
2. If you want to try flash roms with another recovery you can dowload the last 4Ext recovery (you can find it in development room): there is a version that can be flashed automatically in fastboot, just putting the zip in your SD-card's root.
Hope that I have been usefull. Someone corrects me if I was wrong.
Hey thanks for the answers.
I even turned on my phone and it works (Y)
Magic
But thanks for your help.
