How To Change Recovery Img

Does anyone know how to change the recovery img for when you boot into recovery? I had one installed from when I rooted my EVO, but using ROM Manager, it installed Clockwork (sp?) but I've heard that might not be a good one? Can anyone provide me steps to replace the recovery? Thanks.

If you choose flash alternate recovery in rom manager it should flash the amon ra recovery

For the record, there's nothing wrong with ClockworkMod, at least the current version. Don't let the rumors scare you. It wipes just fine in my experience (and others'). I find it better than Amon Ra if only for the reason that I can go back in the menus without having to push volume down+up at the same time.

Thanks. Yeah, I can't say personally I've had any issues with it, I was just going off of something I read. Thanks for the info, if I need to change it at least I know how to now.

The option for flash alternate recovery is grayed out. I can't select it. Any other ways to replace the recovery image??? Thanks.

Scratch that, I just had to restart after installing. Thanks anyway.

Q Ginger Villain 'Villain Setup' recovery image download

Hi there. Im one of those lucky people with a PVT4 4000 Desire, meaning to Root my phone i needed a very specific combination of Unrevoked 3.21 and Amon ra 2.0.1 to work properly. Clockwork mod doesnt work if you use it right away, as i learned the hard way.
With Amon ra, its working perfectly, and i can backup, restore and install ROMs fine.
On the Gingervillain 'Villain Setup' whenever i try to install an item, it pops up that it needs to download a recovery image first.
To me, this seems odd, as i already have one installed, but my question is, which image will it download? Will it downoad clockwork mod? and then i'll end up having flash the latest RUU to recover my phone as the clockwork recovery wont work?
I just dont want to mess things up again....
Many thanks

[Q] Rom manager wont flash recovery

I'm running CM7 with Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5. Im trying to flash the latest radio, so i need to flash back to a Clockworkmod 2.x.
But the thing is Rom manager already says my current recovery is 2.5.0.7. But when i actually reboot into recovery its definitely still 3.0.0.5. I've tried to flash all of the older versions of Clockworkmod available in Rom manager, and it says they flash correctly, and rom manager even reports that my clockworkmod version is the one i tried to flash. But when i reboot into recovery it hasnt changed.
Ive even tried to flash amon ra through rom manager and that did nothing.
I have "erase recovery" checked in settings. I tried to fix permissions. I've rebooted and even wiped data. Ive gone into market and uninstalled the updates to go back to rom manager 3.x but that didnt fix the problem. Ive wiped dalvik cache and that didnt work either.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
If not, does anyone have a link to a clockworkmod 2.x recovery.img so i can just manually flash it through fastboot? ive looked around everywhere but i cant seem to find one.

so i restored a really old backup of cm6 (which has rom manager 3.x), which i didnt even think was possible with CWM 3 and edify scripting, flashed amon ra in rom manager, and once i rebooted into recovery it was actually amon ra. i flashed the radio and all seems well. not sure why CM7 with rom manager 4 wouldnt correctly flash a recovery, but it seems resolved for me at least.

For future reference, it is just as easy and recommended to load amon RA via the bootloader as it is from the ROM Manager app.

whats really the difference between flashing through the bootloader, flashing through rom manager, flashing through fastboot, or flashing through the command line with flash_image?
Obviously rom manager has problems, thats what this whole post is about. But as long as it actually does the flash there shouldnt be difference between the different methods of flashing should there?

You basically answered the question. It's not that ROM Manager is incapable, there have been times when it failed to flash recovery and there have been times when it didn't contain the latest RA recovery. Yea, those things are minor, but it is enough for me to discard using it. Besides, I'm always in the recovery itself so it is only natural for me to do everything from within recovery or the bootloader. But, to each his or her own.

Can i ask why you prefer amon ra over clockwork mod? Does one offer an advantage over the other? Does RA support edify scripting?

I was a faithful ClockworkMod user when I first rooted my device. I had no problems and no intention to switch until around version 3.x.x.x. after that, I started having issues with it not wiping properly so I switched over to amon RA. Although those problems have since been corrected, I have become quite accustomed to amon RA and until it fails me, I will stick with it. Furthermore, there have been times when people's devices have failed to properly boot or wouldn't allow access to recovery until they flashed amon RA. I like its menu layout and how well it works, but that's just me...

[Q] please help unbrick me

I had trouble installing c7 mod,I have root ,supberuser,busybox,clockwork ROM manager, butall I got was skateon arrowrevolving over and over.so I kept doing recoverys with ROM manager. I was told use amon ra. Now I can,t get back to ROM mgr,or recoverys.
All I get is a white screen with HTC in it and ijumps to the stock power/volume down screen which all choices lead back to that.I canget the aman ra menu but i can,get the clockwork mod recoverys. Sprint tech said nothing can be done and warranty is void. I just bought it when I tresses in a 3d evo that got smashed they replaced in one day but that has boot 1.50000 any ideas? Is there away in amon ra to flash toalternate recovery mod?
the way clockwork let use amon ra?
Thanks inadvance
Jon

If you can get into recovery with Amon Ra, go the wipe function and wipe everything except the sd card itself. Do the Factory reset/User Data wipe. Wipe cache and dalvik cache twice, then reflash your ROM.
Remember, it'll take up to 10-15 minutes to boot up the first time

Not really sure what you mean but you can flash amon ra 2.3 from hboot if thats what your asking you can get the link to it from my sig.

Yea you have to be more clear on exactly what it is you want to do and for crying out loud dont call Sprint and tell them your rooted. They wont help you and now you probably have been flagged....What ever it is you want to do, try a google search for it and make sure you read up on it carefully. If you are rooted and have Amon then you are in a great position

i agree with the last two posts.relax,and think.if you can get into hboot you are not bricked.do you have an og evo or the evo 3d?if its the og evo,then you need to find a pc36img.zip file and put it on the root of the sd card.you can find all the files you need in this forum.once you have found that file download it and then put on the sd.go into your hboot and it will read it and then select update.once its updated,do not select reboot go into recovery.if you have a green recovery screen you are golden.i would put an su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed zip on the root of the sd card as well.go back into hboot.DO NOT SELECT UPDATE OR REBOOT WHEN PROMPTED!!select no to both of those then select recovery.it will go back into the green recovery and select install zip from sd,then select choose zip from sd.then scroll down to the su signed zip and let it do its thing.once you have done that,reboot the device and you will have a stock rom.redownload rom manager and update clockwork mod to v.4.4.whatever and you are golden.if you have the evo 3d,i know revolutionary dont work with the hboot v.1.5....ive tried with a friend of mines 3d.i hope i have helped,Lord knows i have done it enough with my own evo.if i helped you please hit that little thanks button for me

ryan thanks for relax and think advice
I fixed problem ( which was basically I could only bring up amon ra and the only recovery image it saw was a a bad one that wouldn't recover anything). Among Ra would let me hook up to my laptop as a usb drive where I could see my SD card , I was able to take a clockwork mod recovery image of a ROM disliked but it worked, rename it exactly what was in the anon ra folder ,move it and the files into the anon ra folder, and viola!!! Amon Ra recovered into that ROM and I now switched to swag rom which is great. Now I do wish there was a viper ROM for the 4g, and a way to unlock and s-off my EVO3D that came locked and has hboot 1.50000.
Anyway all is ok, and the advice about relaxing and thinking from Ryan might have seen simple but was what I needed, thanks Ryan.
By the way, swag-on is a great ROM, stable, WiFi tether, hdmi mirroring, great dock ,and funny boot animation.

[Q] Need .zip for Clockwork Mod Recovery

Hey guys, Sprint ended up changing something on my account and screwing up my evo so I couldn't access 3g. Long story short, I RUU'd to get it back to stock and was able to then get 3g data back. Now it still shows S-Off, but I can't boot into recovery and the clockwork mod rom manager won't work, because it says my phone still needs to be rerooted. I was thinking since when I boot into recovery it says S-Off, i'm already rooted and I just need the zip for clockwork mod recovery and I can then go in and flash roms to my hearts content.
Does anyone know where I can find the .zip for clockwork mod recovery?

You need to flash clockworkmod through the bootloader I wouldnt recommend clockworkmod and most people don't recommend it you can find it on clockworkmod.com under recovery images and look for the EVO
Edit:also you might have to flash a superuser zip to get root back

I don't personally recommend clockworkmod to use as your recovery, but if you just need to have it, you should find it much easier to run the attached PC36IMG file from your SD card.
Also, you may need to flash (or install from SD card) through clockwork the attached superuser zip file to obtain your root permissions if you are going to continue to use stock ROM.

That works
Thank you Shorty Dogg - the pc36img.zip was exactly what i needed. I'm used to Amon Ra, but wanted to try out clockwork. Thanks again!

I would use amon RA or amon RA style supersonic recovery since u had cwm b4 I'd recommend RA style supersonic recovery 3.0.8 as it will allow you to use your cwm backups as well as RA backups and any backups you make in the future, plus it has capacitive buttons and touch screen working in recovery has a battery level option and etc check it out in development

Good luck cwm is garbage compared to RA on the evo it doesn't like to wipe properly alot of times, as well as it doesn't have the same wipe options as RA, atleast it didnt the last time I used it which has been a minute I ditched it for RA almost immediately

ok i've used the rev tool and installed superuser but says not rooted. I've installed busy box and this is what it is saying. " error. root access not detected. Your device must be rooted to install busy box. if you fell that youare recieving this message in error please go into superuser app and click on busybox installer and then click forget and restart this app." but it is not showing that in superuser. do i just flash the superuser in this section and try it again. i'm rooting a friends phone and followed the instructions to the t. thanks in advanced.
