Hello! While flashing RA recovery on my rooted stock 2.1 Desire, something went wrong (got stuck on Waiting for root... message). Phone powered off, didn't power on again, so took battery out. Phone booted as it usually does, but when I boot to recovery, I just get HTC screen, and nothing more. Looks like I've erased recovery.
YES, I've tried reflash with RA mod.
YES, I've tried to reflash with Clockwork mod.
YES, I've used unrEVOted last version (as of 18/11) to flash my phone.
How do I return standard recovery or flash RA? I need to install new ROM, and I can't do it without recovery.
Try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673277
its the original way to flash a ROM before clockwork mod and that where created.

Hi everyone. I'm having some problems with my Recovery which I can't seem to figure out:
I tried to mod my phone with CM6.1 the other day using ROM Manager. ROM downloaded and started to install, no problems. When it tried to boot up again, it got stuck in a loop at the CM loading screen. When I tried to reboot in to Clockword Mod Recovery, all I got was a picture of a phone with a triangle (can't remember which colour - think it was green). Eventually I realised that was a stock recovery and managed to get my phone restored to my backup but I can't seem to get my recovery to go to anything but the stock one. Rom Manager reports Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed and I've tried using Rom Manager, Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works - I'm still at the built-in recovery.
Now, If I boot in to recovery, I get the red triangle and a message on screen stating "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command".
If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
"Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works" make sure youre trying to flash a .img file
"Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed" that because the recovery (.zip) is saved on the SDCARD. When booting Recovery from ROM Manager, youre fake-flashing the file (.zip)
"If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock." thats fake-flashing
what HBOOT are you on??
EDIT: You should S-OFF your Desire "http://alpharev.nl/".
WARNING: When using S-OFF your flashing a custom HBOOT. If that goes wrong, it may brick your Desire. If you use S-OFF, then you can flash a permanent recovery using fastboot
Thanks Chris. Any idea why it would have reverted though? I used to have a permanent version of ClockworkMod until the other week
Edit: HBOOT just says 0.80.0000 and has 3 androids on skateboards

Go back to stock, download the original ruu for you phone. After that try rooting again.
Rats - had a feeling that may be the answer. Think I'll be able to restore a backup?

I fake-flash all the time. I once messed up a ROM's installation and got stuck because it messed up the recovery too.
The loop startup is probably caused by older cache from your previous ROM. Just boot up recovery again, clear cache and restore factory settings and then flash your CM again. Should do the trick.

Flashed my HBOOT with AlphaRev - those guys are brilliant, coding that!
Thank you for your help!
Bingo!
Think I've nailed it now!
I used Fastboot Commander [v.1.0] to flash Amon-RA which took and stayed!
To confirm: I installed AlphaRev bootloader to S-OFF then Fastboot Commander to flash Amon-RA. Hopefully, I'll now be able to flash Clockwork Recovery again (as I use Rom Manager) and be back up and running!
Think I may skip CM6.1...
Well, I have a problem. The problem is that the recovery simply won't work. Okay, so I go into ROM Manager and flash the ClockWork Recovery. So then I reboot my Evo and I'm stuck at the Splash Screen. I thought that since I flashed a new ROM, it might just be gathering all the information up to start the recovery. So I return one hour later, and it's still on the Splash Screen. So I have to take off the battery and start it up normally and flash the Amon RA recovery. So then I reboot into recovery and it works fine. Anyone know why?
I think I read some where that rooting hwd004 phones with everything updated only recovery that is stable is ra

But I have Hardware 003. And I can flash the ClockWork Recovery from the Amon RA recovery.
So Amon Ra is working but Clockwork isnt? Just stick to Amon Ra if you have that working recovery.
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.
Hi all, I'm looking for a little help.
I have a GSM Desire that I rooted a while back with Unrevoked and selected a custom recovery image which at the time was AmonRa. I've been running LeeDroid for a while, updated a couple of revision of ROMs with no problem and have now moved onto CM7 RC2.
After looking in ROM Manager which I'd never used before, it tells me my current recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 and if I click on reboot into recovery it reboots into ClockworkMod. However if I press the powere button and reboot into recovery I end up in AmonRa 1.7.0.1-R5.
So first is this expected as if not how do I resolve it?
Second, how can I go about reflashing to a later version of AmonRa? I've tried using Unrevoked again but it seems to stop at "Running root" after pushing the image and rebooting the phone.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Rom Manager has it's own fake flash recovery which just loads the recovery once, temporary recovery if you would like to call it that. The AmonRA that you have is a permanent recovery installed. That is why you get the two different recoveries.
As it stands, the only way to flash a permanent recovery image (the one you want to update) is to use fastboot or to use a utility. This requires S-Off.
Using unrevoked on an already rooted rom is a no go.
Hello everybody, first post, please take care .
Hello, I'm new to the forum. So I'll try to explain my story as detailed as possible So,
This morning I decided to root my evo running 2.3 with REVOLUTIONARY s-off.
Then I flashed superuser on the evo. it worked perfectly. And I was rooted. But that wasn't the problem. The problem started when I tried to flash a custom rom on my evo. The rom was The kingdom rom, by virus. I put it on my ad card and went into recovery, recovery seemed a little different. It had a REVOLUTIONARY logo in recovery. I flashed the rom, it was succesful, I rebooted the device and I noticed it would just stay on the first white boot screen, the one that states htc evo 4g. I left it there for 10 minutes but it still didn't leave the boot. I took out the battery and went back into recovery, I reflashed the rom and rebooted the device but no luck, the same thing persisted. So I went BACK into recovery and mounted the USB hboot with my sd card, I then put a PC36IMG.zip and flashed that because I thought that would put everything back to stock. I rebooted the phone, put to my surprise, the pc36img file was loaded before I did anything on my boot loader screen.... It was flashed and it was rebooted, but no luck. I went back to my boot loader and tried to go back into recovery but it doesn't work!!! all I see now when I choose recovery is a picture of a phone with an exclamation point. This is weird but I think I'm partially rooted because in my boot loader it is s-off and has a REVOLUTIONARY boot logo.... Please help, I booted my device and all I see is the first boot screen, and I've seen that for 2 hours and 24 minutes.... Help me please!!!
Running an RUU replaces the recovery with the stock recovery, which is pretty much not a recovery. I believe if while on that screen (the red triangle recovery screen) if you hold both volume buttons at the same time you'll be given some options. Anyway, you just need to flash a recovery.
Here is Amon Ra: http://db.tt/WP0beNa
It's a PC36IMG file. Remove the other one and flash that. Then boot into recovery, wipe boot, data, cache, dalvik, sd-ext, and .android_secure. Then flash the rom or try a different one.
