Get a SD card reader?

i don't have one, is there another procedure through the phone?

No need for card reader. I did it using the one in rom manager, but as you are not able to use this, i would go with the pushed recovery from the older rooting methods from modaco. You just enter the black recovery screen with the !
Then your insert the cable, and run a batch file on your computer. This recovery should have the ability to partitionate.
just search for the r5 root or pm me for link (cant post links as i'm a new user)
You must use the file called "recovery-windows.bat" or the one for your system.

but if you have clockwork installed, the black screen with <!> will not appear becaus clockwork recovery is loaded automaticly.
if i push the recovery from the r5-root img (while beeing in clockwork recovery) it seems like there are both recoverys running at the same time.
how can i uninstall clockwork recovery or block it from beeing autostarted ?

It doesn't. Normally it boots into normal recovery, and then you have to apply update.zip (which is Clockwork Recovery). THEN it boots into CMR.

ye it is because you have flashed the unrevoked permanent recovery. I prefer the fakeflash as it is easy to change and work just as well.
In that case if there is another easy method to format the sd other than using your computer. I have seen som suggestions on using the amonra recovery.. You could try that.
And i only think you can remove the permanent recovery by flashing stock ruu for now, but then you will have to reroot, as it also unroot the device.

pain in the arse isn't it.. I came across this exact dilemma today
hopefully the unrevoked guys will sense this and make some changes on their next release?

Ok managerd to do it by flashing the ROM
Thanks for your help guys

[Q] Updating clockwork recovery?

Being thick here but i cant find my answer..
ROM manager shows Clockwork Recovery as 2.5.0.7 but if i actually boot into recovery it is showing as 2.5.0.1??
How do i flash the new recovery so it actually uses it??.. Or is it not worth it??.. ie if it aint broke dont fix it??
Cheers

use unrEVOked 3.21 again and it'll flash the new version

Will it wipe all my stuff on the phone??.. Running DeFrost 4.4 with no issues at the moment.. so dont want to bugger it up if new recovery is not worth it?

I dont know, I only used 3.21...otherwise just use fake flash
Not really worth it if you're happy with it

no its just a recovery image it wont touch the way your phone is

Havent a clue how to use fake flash.. think i will leave it.. Appreciate replies

If you boot into Recovery via ROM Manager, you are using fake flash!
Essentially ROM manager sticks an update.zip file in the root of your SD card and reboots into recovery and "fake flashes" this file - essentially it runs your latest ClockworkMod Recovery, but it can't actually really flash to to the phone, which is why you need to use UnrEVOked.

[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.

i was trying to back up another rom on my htc evo and when i went to perform back up .after a minute of backing up it stops and said oops something went wrong with recovery .so my questions is why is this happening ? and when you delete roms on the vo 4g does it save more space ? cause i restored an old rom and it gave me internal storage low

What recovery are you using(name and version)?It could have just been a glitch in the recovery,try again and see what happens,also you might want to make sure you have the latest version of your recovery console.As far as the old rom,i tried installing a rom,i cant remember which one,but it gave me the same error message.If you delete roms from your phone,its usually from the sd card,not the internal space,only roms and apps are installed on the internal,so it will save more space on the sd card.All your backups will be placed on your sd card also.

i had a guy install the amon recovery i have no idea which amon i am using ,however, i would love to know and if i can upgrade it to the latest version .i have no ideal what version of amon i am using .can you let me know how i can check which amon i have ?

Go into recovery and it should say in the top of the main page.Heres the Amon Ra recovery thread.... Amon Ra Recovery v.2.3 .2.3 is the latest.If it is up to date,then i would try to back up your rom again,like i said it could have just been a glitch.

Sounds like you recovery might be corrupt.

Or head over to this thread it just got updated to 3.10 there is a PC36IMG.zip within the last few pages that I would use.
Name file PC36IMG.zip and place on root of sd.
Boot into bootloader and it will apply update.
