Flashable version on clockworkmod recovery - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for a flashable version of clockworkmod recovery. I want to be able to flash it in ra recovery. I know I can use rom manager but thats not what I want to do. I know it can be done I have had it before but I deleted it be mistake

Same here. I did a alternate flash with ra but can't get it back to clockworkmod as a recovery in Rom manager. I fix permissions and still nothing. I get an error saying can't flash into recovery until I flash back to clockwork mod. So my current back up is Ra. What's wrong with this picture? Thanks Xda.

[Q] Need help switching from amon recovery to clockwork Recovery

I have amon's recovery on my phone but I am running CyanogenMod-6 on my phone want to be able to use the clockwork mod with the rom manager. Can anybody help me?
not in this forum
In rom manager just flash clockwork, I think its the first option.

[Q] i'm using two recoveries at once...

I dont think i need them both,
I originially had clockworkmod after rooting with unrevoked,
then i installed amonra to split the sdcard,
now i want clockworkmod so i can flash unsigned roms.... so i used rom manager to flash it, done so about 10 times now, it says that i have it installed, and i can get to it only if i boot into recovery from rom manager, if i boot into recovery any other way i get amonra..
its not a huge problem since both recoveries are working properly, but id rather just have clockworkmod because im never going to split my card again..
anyone know how i can remove amonra and install cwm?
thanks.
If you are S-On you will have to use unrevoked to get back to ClockworkMod.
If you are S-Off, you can use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
By using ROM Manager you have installed ClockworkMod using the "fake-flash" method. It was how recoveries could be launched easily on desire before unrevoked cracked it!
Thats because ROM Manager uses a fake-flash so it will load CWM but when you boot from HBOOT it will use AmonRA as it's the permanent recovery
AmonRA is a better recovery and does the same job as CWM so just use that
Ooooohhhh I see, are there any negatives to using fake flashed clockworkmod?

No, it's just ROM Manager is a fail like that
(I don't like it in case you haven't guessed)
It just means that clockwork mod is not actually installed but just a update.Zip on the SD card which launches clockwork mod wheh flashed.
What version of amonra recovery do you have? It should be able to run unsigned zips.
1.7.0.5 r5 or something like that, it doesn't like unsigned.

Have you tried using flash_image through adb shell to flash the clockwork image to recovery parition instead of clockwork mod? Koush's site has the images for all the different phones. Only link I know is for the February versions.

[Q] Recovery Won't Work?

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.

[Q] how to remove amonra 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.
