Hey guys and gals,
This is my first post and i need some help. Here's the story.
I rooted my phone a few weeks ago, everything went stunningly easy, and worked great. Clockworkmod recovery was installed (by unrevoked) at this time. While driving home I broke my phone's screen and had to get a replacement phone. Asurion had a phone to me within 18 hours (my word they're fast). I slapped the 16GB SD card from my first phone in and I was off and running.
So I have my new phone with my original 16GB SD card and set it up normally again. I wanted to wait a bit and get it set prior to rooting again. Tonight I rooted the phone with Unrevoked 3.21 as I did before. It went much faster than before. I now have S-Off but clockworkmod recovery is not on my hboot screen and recovery mode doesn't work at all. Just a black screen for about 15 seconds before loading into the OS.
Have I screwed up a one click root? I've tried a few things.
I used droid-life as a guide to help me root.
Phone Stats:
Droid Incredible
Asurion replacement
OS 2.2
radio 2.15.00.07.28
kernel 2.6.32.15-gb7b01d1
build 3.21.605.1 CL231334 release-keys
Although clockworkmod recovery isn't in Hboot the reflash tool still says "Recovery Image: ClockworkMod Recovery" on the bottom. I have tried renaming the clockworkmod folder on the SD card to see if it would create a new one, or boot into clockworkmod recovery after realizing the folder is not there.
I have also tried formatting my SD card and running the reflash tool again. Again no dice, no recovery mode.
I have tried unrevoked 3.21 after every change.
What have I done? what do I do? any suggestions?
Thanks for anybody and everybody's input. I appreciate it. I would like to start flashing roms but really dont want to mess with it if I dont have a recovery option.

Is it a complete download of the unrevoked tool? Sounds almost like the recovery package isn't there. Try redownloading unrevoked and run it again. Do you have root and Superuser app at least? If so, try downloading and running ROM Manager and tell it to flash Clockwork again. Still no dice, try telling it to flash RA recovery. And for the record, which screen do you have?
I wish I knew

thanks for the quick reply I will try that. Yes I have root and the superuser app.
I dont know how to tell which screen I have, but I was wondering the same thing. BoyGeniusReport says its incredibly hard to tell the difference and I haven't found were it says SLED vs AMOLED
Grrrr

Downloaded unrevoked 3.21 straight from unrevoked twice.
Tried the reflashing clockworkmod recovery, no dice.
Whats an RA recovery?

It's an alternate recovery. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758874
It's also the second to the last option in ROM Manager. Flash Alternate Recovery: RA_GNM Recovery v1.7.6
I actually like that one better. It was able to format my SD card correctly. I just miss the integration with ROM Manager.
Phew... It worked.
the alternate recovery worked.
now if I want to flash ROMs do I need to know anything in particular before doing so with the AMON_RA recovery tool.
I downloaded the a4d utility that I found when doing a search for AMON_RA on appbrain. It asks if I want to flash my phone to unlock my bootloader (and void my warranty, haha).
do I need to unlock my bootloader before flashing ROM's
I like the sense UI. thats all I have actually used. Is there anything better? what are suggested, STABLE, ROMs/kernels for the DInc? or should I stay "stock 2.2 rooted"?

Uncommon sense with king kernel bfs # 5 is as good or better than stock.
Btw. Hboot only shows recovery, not clockwork recovery. Did you ever try selecting recovery from hboot?

and still has all the capabilities of stock 2.2 (GPS, WIFI Tether, etc), I know that was a problem at one point. I assume/hope all has been fixed with those issues.
With flashing ROMs. do Custom ROM's have the bloatwear (CityID) removed?

Uncommon sense has some of it removed. Some of it you can remove yourself. It's the only rom I've donated to and had on my phone more than two days.
Just be careful if removing stuff. Some of it has other dependencies. There are guides on how to remove things safely without breaking other functionality.
Also do a backup first. I'm not sure how amon ra works, but it must be in there somewhere.

It is. In the main menu, just like Clockwork
So I definitely have recovery with the amon_RA 1.7.6 alternative recovery with the ROM manager. but from what I have read I can no longer use ROM manager to flash.
Now I have been searching for information/instructions on how to use AMON_RA but have come up short, at least recently written stuff. I can find a ton of information about clockworkmod which I assume is because of Unrevoked 3.21.
PonsAsinorem as you said you miss the integration of ROM manager. I really want to use ROM manager.
I read somewhere in XDA that people were having trouble using clockworkmod and ROM manager and it could be because of a corrupted cache. there were some LIMITED instructions about using ADB to fix it but I wasn't completely understanding them.
I think my problem is spawning from using my old SD card and maybe a corrupted cache. I have made a back up using Amon_RA (actually two).
Does anyone think that completely formatting my SD card (after moving my backups to my MAC) and factory restoring my phone. then reflashed using unrevoked 3.21, or reflashed clockworkmod recovery using rom manager would work to solve my problem with clockworkmod recovery?
I would have backups if it didn't work. I would just have to restore the Amon_RA backup if I screwed anything up or wanted my SD card back... Right?
Thanks for all the help so far.

Dirtpan. you're a lifesaver thanks for pointing me at this. saved clockwork for me. All this time, its because I have the new SLCD screen as opposed to the AMOLED screen.
For the record, my wife has an AMOLED screen and I an SLCD. I can see no discernible difference.

Hi all. Im having a strange problem with flashing roms. I am not new to this and have been problem free for a while. I went from fresh 3.4 to myns rls4. Then went to fresh 3.5 and tried to go back to myn from there. I use clockworkmod and recently updated to 3.0.0.0. I have tried flashing the roms in rom manager and by booting up in recovery. I was able to load a backup and am currently set up as follows:
unrevoked forever (used 3.21 before reading forever might fix this issue)
fresh 3.4
netarchy kernel
bootloader screen
supersonic evt3 ship s-off
hboot-0.97.0000
micro-041f
touch panel-atmelc03_16ac
radio-2.15.00.09.01
Heres what it says when I try to install any rom. All roms do and say the same thing.
clockworkmod recovery v3.0.0.0
installing
finding update package
opening update package
installing update...
installation aborted.
This is from flashing while in recovery using volume down and power button method. Any advice?

i think that clockwork 3.0 is causing problems
At OP: I Clockwork 3.0 appears to have some bugs. Hold on tight.
@aimbdd: You're not a mod, nor did you help at all (in answering the question or telling him what you did). You're actually FAR worse than he is. If you're not going to post something productive, please don't post.
On that note, this question should be in the Q&A section for future reference

I had to do the same. I'm using RA as a result
Reading clockworkmods tweets it appears the new clockwork is only for the new hboot and doesn't work with the older hboots. Install amon ra 1.8 and you should be golden. You won't be able to use rom manager after you install aman ra.
Maybe you think im just too stupid or whatever, but im not i know how to root, to debrand, to wipe and so on. Im using a PVT4 desire which was vodafone branded (2.33.161...) with hboot 0.93. I downgraded and rooted it sucessfully and have (2.29.405.5) everything works fine. If i want to flash any custom rom, sense or sense hd (using amonra 2.0.0) ..everything works until standby ..on nearly each standby the phone freezes or hangs up or whatever ..the only thing that helps , is pulling out the battery and insert it again. So not any custom rom works for me and i hate it. i love the htc sense on hd roms and i really like some themes, but i cant really use it please anybody could try to help me why this happens. i really did nothin wrong for partition i used gparted like described mostly and in the end i set my phone s off (cuz i thaught this maybe would help) of course sucessfully. i tried diffrent ext partitions, i tried another battery, i tried another sdcard, i stopped the automatic email refresh ...,i tried app2sd+ and data2sd, i actually did nothin and let the rom the way it was ...but again it freezes on standby (not the first, not every, but the most of a day) ... my boyfriend has the same phone, also with pvt4 ...and for him everything works great without any issues. so please anybody help to fix this or at first find out why that happens

Have you tried flashing a ROM using CWM recovery?
No i didnt. Could that be the reason for this problem ? I used amonra because cwm could not flash zip files as far as i know ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
i had a similar problem with my g/f's phone, had been rooted for 6 months, had several custom roms, ( though she only likes sense roms ) i did an update, and it just kept freezing, so i tried several other sense roms, and they all kept freezing, no matter how many full wipes i did, they would just freeze.
so i installed a stock android rom, then from the stock android rom, flashed the sense rom, it worked after that, i duno why it did, i just know it worked for me, duno if it helps but might be worth a try.
Also i use CWM too.
Amon Ra Latest
Is this the version of Amon Ra you use?

i dont really understand that stock rom part ...at downgrading i used the pb99img (2.29.405.5) from shipped .like it was told on some german site cuz i normally got an radio_V2 fail pu at the image loading on hboot ...with that there were no failures..so i guess this is my "base" that i rooted and with that i did everything else.. do u mean i should install a custom stock rom !? or maybe give me an example please

CWM flashes zip files with no problem. Just use an older version like 2.5.1.8 or something.

nope, it definitely won't work. if you wanna try cwm, v2.5.0.7 is the best and most rock solid. is your phone s-offed?
Yes i have s off ..the easiest way to get clockwork in my opinion is using s off again and install it (can i do this or does that some damage to my phone ?) I read that v2.5.1.8 is suporting pvt4 desires. So i guess thats the best ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
oops my bad. didn't notice the pvt4 part. you can just download the android sdk and use the fastboot command or you can use android flasher which has a simple straight forward gui.
could i also use unrevoked !? and use instead the ra desire 2.0.0 img the cwm img !? i like using things i already know instead of new stuff ..and im not so good at fastboot commands ...and i cant find the cwm 2.5.1.8 from alpharev

flashing with unrevoked can screw up your superuser app. ra 2.0.0 doesn't backup the whole ext partition only app if i recall correctly. i'm not sure if ra supports pvt4. couldn't find any mention of it in the thread's first post.
the alpharev cwm is here

yes u can flash it with unrevoked. just mentioning that it screws up your superuser app.
after searching the whole time ..the alpharev version ..i finally saw that u already posted
using unrevoked worked fine dont care about superuser dont have it atm... trying an custom rom now ...hope my issue will have an end
Just my 2 cents... AFAIK for PVT4 desires AmonRA is recommended, cause CWM has issues. At least that's what I read about PVT4 (earsize 40000).
Hi guys, i only got my desire yesterday (bye bye cliq/dext at last) and can confirm what nagypapi is saying as i have a uk desire pvt-4 with 40000 errorsize and CWM definately doesn't work, i had a small problem where unrevoked 3.32 wouldn't properly install amonRA or CWM, in the end i had to use unrevoked 3.21 and i'm now running ReflexTSenseHD 1.8 Sense DHD 2.2 FRF91 A2SD+ OC'd to 1113Mhz. Have tried flashing a lot of the roms available and not all of them seem to work for me. CyanogenMOD7 and Oxygen v2.0 RC7 get to the setup screen and then go into an endless bootloop, whilst DeFroST 6.1a, RCMixHD v3.0 and Amethyst RC7 won't load past the htc splash screen. I have H BOOT S-ON still as i'm not entirely confident at attempting the AlphaRev 1.8 method just yet, could this be the cause?
Thanks in advance for any replies, kingears
I had a nightly running perfectly so decided to back it up in Rom Manager. After backing up it got stuck in booting loop. Couldn't get anything to work in recovery so ended up flashing a stock ROM in hboot (still with root). Now trying to install RC3 but get an error in recovery.
CM report log's last entry says:
line1: unexpected character at 'u'
Syntax error in update script
Any ideas? I'd like to be able to restore one of my older backups (a sense rom) if possible.

Try flashing CW manually and restoring your previous nandroid manually as well
Hope this helps
I always flash using Clockwork. I use Rom Manager to get the ROM but I perform the actual flash in Clockwork. You'll have fewer issues if you do.
Thanks for the replies. I rolled-back to an earlier version of ClockworkMod, then reflashed CyanogenMod. That worked. Not sure what happened to start this because I was just trying to do a backup. I did have SetCPU installed and overclocked so maybe that had something to do with it.

Yep, all good.
I successfully rooted my phone a few days ago using the Revolutionary method and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery without a problem. Then I flashed CyanogenMod 7.1.0 again without a problem. I noticed my gps has been having an issue detecting my location so I figured I should flash the nandroid for my stock rooted android 2.3.3 rom and see if the issue still exists. My main problem is that I can't boot into recovery. Apparently I have the latest version of Clockwork. I try to boot into recovery using different methods and I keep ending up at the white screen that says 'Revolutionary' in pink at the top with the 3 skateboarding androids at the bottom. I try to get to recovery from that screen also still with no success. It just reboots into that screen. I was thinking I may have to use the ruu to unroot my Evo (I rather find an alternative solution). How can I regain my ability to boot into recovery? Any help would be much appreciated...

If grab the pc36img for amon_ra, throw it in the root of your SD, using a card reader in a computer, get into hboot and let it install. Then try to get into recovery. F clockwork anyway.....90% of the peeps around here having problems are running that recovery

Turn off your phone,then when turning it on hold the volume rocker in the down position,you will then boot into hboot settings,hboot will automatically check for the update file(PC36IMG)after its done,scroll to recovery and enter that way,if you still cant get into recovery,you will need to download and reinstall the latest revolutionary root tool,i recommend using "TeamWin Recovery Project" i've never had a problem with it.

I was actually going to go the amon ra route because i was familiar with it while I had a HTC Hero. But TWRP v2 caught my attention and I decided to go that route. So far so good as far as I can tell. I made a nandroid backup. Thanks. Any tips or info I should know about using TWRP?
And 1 more thing. I have a nandroid backup from when I had clockwork recovery. I should still be able to flash that back up right?

How can I figure out the version though? clockwork installed on my phone right after I rooted my phone via the revolutionary method. I did this about 2 weeks ago. Im guessing i have to go through rom manager, but this was part of the issue to begin with

I installed a new recovery after i installed revolution,because i also had recovery issues.The version should be at the top of the recovery screen.I didnt like rom manager too much,for some reason it gives me problems.
They say that this version of Amon can be used to restore clockwork backups. I haven't tried it with clockwork myself because I avoids clockworkmod.
Thanks for the help everyone. Everything is gravy now. I'm happy with TWRP. I do have a question for making a backup. By default in TWRP, the 1st 3 boxes are checked up for when attempting to make a backup. Do any of you guys ever check the other boxes (Recovery, cache, .android_secure) and if so, why? Also, when you attempt to wipe before restoring, which items do you guys wipe? Any other tips or suggestions about this recovery would appreciated too.
I backup everything except cache.
