ok so I just for fun tried flashing RA recovery.....now I am trying to flash back to Clockwork but cannot do so. Rom manager says it successfully flashes...and also shows it on the current recovery. but when i boot up into recovery it is still RA recovery. I then try to flash any other version of clockwork and then get the message in rom manager "an error occured while flashing your recovery' Any help or idead would be much appreciated.

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.

Why can't I get this to work? Driving me nuts!
I have loaded the engineering rom, rooted it, go to rom manager, reboot into recovery, and I get the red triangle screen.
Try to apply update.zip
It says:
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
What am I doing wrong?
grrr
Custom Recovery
Do you have a custom recovery set up??? AmonRa or Clockwork?
Sounds like you still have the stock recovery to me.
That's the problem.
Im trying to run the update.zip in stock recovery to flash the clockwork mod.
In RomManager, it says clockwork mod is flashed, but when I hit reboot into recovery, it takes me to stock recovery.

try going to where it says flash alternate recovery, which is amon_ra, and then flash that, then try to see if you can boot into recovery.
Have you tried to flash clockwork from ADB?
EDIT - Or from terminal emulator?
No go. Same story.
Being a pain the @$$

No, but that is my last resort.
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.
Using my HTC Evo phone which I'm using Xda app to post
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...
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
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
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.
ok. so I need to be able to use amend scripting and im currently on Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5. When i try to flash an older clockwork or Amon RA through ROM manager, It just very quickly says "recovery flashed successful" but it never really flashes the recovery. I reboot into recovery and its still 3.0.0.5... I used to be able to flash the recovery fine. I have CM7nightly 66, Tiamat 4.01, and Hboot .93. I have tried several times and nothing. ROM manager says it flashed successfully, but i still have the same recovery. I even tried running the Amon RA update.zip, but hboot wouldnt pick it up... please help!!! thanks in advance...
So you couldn't ask this in the question and answer forum?
Try the PC36IMG way to flash amon RA or clockwork.
Or try flashing through terminal using the flash_image command

ugh. fail.
change to PC136IMG.zip and flash it that way.
