Broken ClockworkMod Recovery on latest Evo Rom

I have the latest recovery mod installed (ClockworkMod 2.0.1.3) on the latest ROM and Radio released June 28th for the Evo and I get the error icon every time i try to load into recovery. I have already tried to re-flash from ROM manager but no luck. Any ideas or on whats going on?

The same thing has happened to me twice. It happened when the program told me there was a new version available, and had to flash the new one. Afterwards, I could not boot into recovery (i'd just stay stuck in the beginning screen).
The way I fixed it is inside of ROM Manager, I clicked "Fix Permissions", and after that was done, I clicked "Flash Amon RA". This at least allows me to use the Amon RA custom recovery.

I had issues with the latest clockwork 2.0.1.3 too. At the bottom of rom manager there is the option to flash previous recoveries, i just went back to 2.0.1.2 and it works fine.

I have tried multiple old versions of clockworkmod and the alt recovery and still no luck. All attempts to load into any type of recovery have failed. HELP!!!

not sure exactly what you mean by the bolded statement. like you installed the updates in a custom rom or you did the OTA to get the latest rom and radio?

I used the "[ROM] OTA 1.47.651.1 Rooted" method to update my phone then I ran Calkulin's radio update. After this I was able to go into recovery and perform the factory reset / wipe device. I then preceded to restore my phone's data using My Backup Pro. after seeing that everything was working fine i went to try and perform a nandroid backup and found my recovery to be broken. Have been unable to flash a working rom since. I have been using ROM manager to flash different recoveries. and I always have the same result of a picture of a phone with an exclamation mark inside a triangle.

Unable to Flash Latest ClockworkMod through Rom Manager

My phone is rooted, but I'm still getting the error when trying to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery through ROM Manager
'An error occurred while flashing your recovery'
I originally had an older Clockwork Recovery loaded which I think was one of the reasons it had problems. I tried to use the program to flash to RA Recovery 1.7.0.1 and then back to the latest ClockworkMod, but it wont work.
I located the latest ZIP file for the recovery
recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-supersonic.zip
I had the RA-evo-v1.7.0.1 recovery loaded, tried to install the Clockwork zip through recovery mode. Originally it loads up fine, but then when I reboot, it reverts back to the RA-evo recovery. I'm still receiving the same error in ROM Manager as it is forcing me to select the option to Flash the Recovery.
Any help would be great. I apologize if this has already been covered in another thread. I found some people that had issues, but not the exact one I am having.

Sounds like to me that Rom manager is not getting superuser permission. Flash Su 2.1.zip or if u are using frozen eclair with jit. U need to flash 2.2 Su.zip. Has happened to me before.

When I go to the Superuser Permissions app, BusyBox and Titanium Backup both are shown, but Rom Manager isn't there. Should it be?
I'm still a newbie, so I'm not familiar with SU 2.1.zip, is that a superuser file to install I would assume?
I haven't had an issue with anything else except Rom Manager which is odd. I'm using the free version currently if that matters at all. I wanted to get this working with the free one first, and then if it goes well I was going to donate and get the full version.

Connect to a wifi and try again. That was an issue
for me the other day.

WiFi did it for me..
The above WiFi comment was right in my instance. I kept getting the error message until I enabled WiFi, then it went thru perfectly.
(Strange though...I don't know why that would affect it?)

Just wanted to add that wifi worked for me too. I don't get it either, but I'm happy.

Glad I found this, wifi worked. Strange

Sounds like a server side issue of some kind for which you would have had no control over.

I doubt *flashing* clockwork would cause force closes. But you can always revert back to 2.5.0.1 or AmonRa and restore a backup. Check the "Legacy" area of ROM Manager.

I also had this problem as ROM manager kept informing me that a new version of clockwork mod was available. after "updgrading" I couldn't flash any new ROMs and got a truncated message that during the process that 3.0 series clockwork mod needed to have some files deleted due to changes with Gingerbread and something about google.... (sorry about the lack of good definition on this, but the text was truncated and I was freaking out at the time since I started getting stuck at the white HTC boot screen.) Eventually I was able to perform a recovery and finally flash back to clockwork 2.5 and everything is OK now.
Strangely, after doing this ROM Manager indicated that 2.5 CW was the current version... However, after a few hours I started getting the message to "upgrade" to 3.0 again. I'll just ignore that for now.
Does anyone know why 3.0 is not working for everyone?

I got this also, but i wasnt using CM...i was on a sense mod and was able to restore a different rom and went to the new amon-RA instead.
Maybe its something with CM specifically

It has to do with the scripts used in the update.zips. Most people are still using the olds version used in 1.5... Net said that he had to change it to the new scripts used in gingerbread which makes it not work with any updates or backups made prior. There is a topic on it in here where he explains it. He says to flash the 2.5 if it's not letting you update something.

They put up a new version of Clockworkmod recovery 2.6.0.1. This will work for all that had problems with the 3.0.XXX versions of the recovery. All the goodies of the 3.0XXX but with amend support so it will work with all roms.

All I can say is that Amon has never let me down. May want to check it out if you haven't already. Even their recent update was smooth as silk. No problems for me.

I had this happen to me too with a flash resulting in the white evo screen loop. I was able to flash to the amon ra 1.8 but I couldn't flash anything. So I upgarded to the new version of RA but am still not able to flash anything. I go into the white evo screen loop and then I have to pull the battery and nand a restore. Not sure what I need to do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

downgrade back to 2.5.x.x. only some ROMs support the new FS for 3.0.0.5

How do I downgrade?

Nevermind I'm a [email protected]$$ thanks

Nandroid
Anyone else having issues creating a nandroid backup? It freezes every single time. Going back to older version and trying again.

I am having some problems with 3.0.0.5 also and would like to downgrade but when I select an older version from "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" in ROM Manager I get "An error occured while flashing your recovery."?
I have downloaded an older version in the format of "recovery.img" if someone could tell me how to flash it properly?

Did you try downgrading to 2.5.1.2? That's what worked for me

Yeah, that's how I get the error message. Funny thing is that isn't the version I had before...It was like 2.5.0.7? And that is what I have downloaded on my pc in the form of recovery.img....just not sure on how to flash it if anyone might have a link to instructions that I wasn't able to find?

Not sure if this makes sense, but I too blindly accepted the update for CWM, and had difficulty. tried downgrading to oder version, but kept getting errors, then I couldnt even restore any backups I had made previously and everything was force closing on me.
Ended up being able to restore a desire Z rom backup I had made and then able to downgrade versions successfully. Otherwise I was stuck.
As far as flashing the recovery, no input.

So....I just used unrevoked and loaded custom recovery (being the 2.5.0.7) I had downloaded and .....It worked with out any other problems. Except for that rom manager says I still have the newer clockwork loaded in version info at top? Which means it will probably not prompt me to update.

I downgraded to 2.5.1.2 & I am running Inc rom 1.2 and everything runs great

I've tried all sorts of things to get the new CWM to work, but every time I try to do a backup it freezes when backing up System/irssi.
Same for everyone else? If so, maybe this has something to do with the problem?

Anyone having problems where backups freeze while generating the md5 sum? Seems like it does this about every other backup.

also downgraded to 2.5.1.2... running chingys rom and everythings runs perfect.

Unable to flash CM7 RC3 via Rom Manager

I had a nightly running perfectly so decided to back it up in Rom Manager. After backing up it got stuck in booting loop. Couldn't get anything to work in recovery so ended up flashing a stock ROM in hboot (still with root). Now trying to install RC3 but get an error in recovery.
CM report log's last entry says:
line1: unexpected character at 'u'
Syntax error in update script
Any ideas? I'd like to be able to restore one of my older backups (a sense rom) if possible.

Try flashing CW manually and restoring your previous nandroid manually as well
Hope this helps

I always flash using Clockwork. I use Rom Manager to get the ROM but I perform the actual flash in Clockwork. You'll have fewer issues if you do.

Thanks for the replies. I rolled-back to an earlier version of ClockworkMod, then reflashed CyanogenMod. That worked. Not sure what happened to start this because I was just trying to do a backup. I did have SetCPU installed and overclocked so maybe that had something to do with it.

Which version of CWM are you using now, I'm thinking about going to 3.0.0.7 from 3.0.0.8

I went to 3.0.0.7 but I'm back to 3.0.0.8 now. And just flashed RC4. Working great so far. Very fast.

As long as you fixed your problem, we're good, right? Also, try RA if you're having too many problems with CWM
