So I have the "HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed" Rom, and the new Toastmod Kernal 4.0.3 which works great except now I can't get into clockwork recovery.
Before I added the kernal I had the rom stated above and recovery worked fine. Now when I go to bootloader with the new kernal, and click recovery, my evo just reboots the bootloader.
Any suggestions?
I would try and flash Amon Ra. I think it has to be flashed from bootloader as a pc36.img, but I'm not positive.

Use Amon RA recovery. Clockwork sucks. There should be a link somewhere in the development forums. Just do a search for Amon RA.

Link is in my sig. Also, you can flash recovery with fastboot flash.
Thanks guys, I'm giving this a shot right now.
So the RA Recovery is on the root of the SD, but when I go into Fastboot or bootloader, I dont have an option to flash it. The only way I know how to flash is in recovery. However when I select recovery it just reboots the phone into hboot again.....
Guess I need a little more instruction, sorry.

You have to run fastboot on your PC after you go to fastboot on your phone, it is in the same place as ADB.

Ok, appreciate it. I'll have to read up on it.
Could I flash the stock kernal from the "Rom Manager" app, or would that not work?
ok guys i installed the amon_ra before it was pulled and i did a wipe to do a nand, and i get an error, then i tried to do a install .zip and i get an error, how can I get clockwork back on cos I cant start up a rom cos it wont install!!
Use the clockwork recovery img and flash it with unrevoked3
Use the PB31IMG.zip from UnrEVOked and flash it from hboot, that will get you the clockwork recovery

Amon-RA recovery near bricked my phone.......or at least my rom doesnt play that nice with amon ecovery.
Amon_RA recovery is the standard on many Android devices; I hope devs will start writing ROMs that aren't dependant on just Clockwork Recovery since it requires an android app to be fully functional.

so im on .0.5 and i seen that there is a 1.2 version available.. i've had no problems before or currently with .0.5, but i'm curious to the changelog of 1.2.. i'm not finding any info on it.. anything that would blow my mind or offer benefits.. much thanks..
I can confirm that it has optical trackpad scroll and works with SLCD screens.
No problems here either. Flashed a ROM, a kernel, a theme with 2.5.1.2 then restored a backup made with 2.5.0.5.
Ditto with the above. Flashed old backup using the new version of clockwork
where do i find if i am amoled or slcd??
I flashed clockworkmod 2.5.1.2 and now i can't get into recovery. It will boot into fastboot and hboot but when i click recovery from hboot it brings me to fastboot. Same thing when i try it from rom manager
incredible rooted with latest CM nightly, s-off

I can't reproduce this for ya, sorry I can't help.
Anyone know what was changed in the newest version? I'm tempted to switch back to 2.5.1.1 because it was workings fine for me and I don't know if this one will. Creating a backup right now hopefully it works, I want to try out the new skyraider rom

Just want to confirm that you mean this version works without the extra mod?
Only difference I've noticed is the addition of fix permissions and partition sd card under the Advanced tab
Is anyone sitting on "checking MD5 sums" for a while doing anything in clockwork recovery?

Do you mean it takes a long time, or that it never completes?
Checking MD5s can take a while.
It completes, but takes about 10 minutes. 2.5.1.1 had this problem as well.

I also can't get into recovery after flashing the new clockworkmod. Will boot into hboot but when I try to boot into recovery I get stuck at the HTC Incredible white screen.
In ROM Manager, clear download cache. Then flash a different version of Clockwork, the reflash the current one and test.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
It's working fine for me. I opened up ROM Manager to do a back up and it prompted me to update CWM. I did it. Have rebooted into recovery a few times to be sure and have made a backup. Also the optical trackpad works MUCH faster and better in this version.

It might be a SLCD-related brick issue. On the previous version of CWM (2.5.0.5), you could flash a mod by (koush? adrynalyne? sp?) on top to get it working.
(I can't post links yet, so if you google "Rooting stock 2.2 using unrEVOked 3.22" it will be the first link, it's on incredibleforum, Step 3A of the OP)
Alternatively, putting BAMod on the root of your SD card works (if you don't get revoked tool etc to run cos it won't boot up) to start up your phone again into recovery. Remember to rename to "PB31IMG.zip"

What's up with the new version of ClockworkMod? Anyone know why or what its about? Any fixes? Or is this the new (required) CWM version because of CM7?
Sent from my EVO using XDA App
Just an updated version, I have had no problems using it. Been out for a little bit now.
I could not flash to the update for MIUI with the CWM update (which was orange once booted to recovery ) there is an option to go back to an older version

Over in the Mytouch4g threads there is a new version 3.0.0.6 which will be backwards compatible with both Edify and Amend scripts.

ROM Manager Premium v3.0.0.7 is the version of the ROM Manager app itself, Clockworkmod Mod is still at 3.0.0.5.
is there something wrong with it for you? Im not having any problems.
why they doesn't insert the 3.0.0.5 version inside the app? they're still at 2.7.0.5

I used ROM Manager to switch from Amon's Recovery to Clockwork so that I can utilize ROM Manager. Bought the premium version for the nightlies (yeah I'm that lazy), however, it looks like I don't have a recovery now. Anytime I try to boot to recovery, I end up at the bootloader. I select recovery from the bootloader and I'm back to the bootloader.
Any thoughts?

I never use Rom Manager, I like to do everything manually - less room for error. Plus I'm using Amon Ra, so I couldn't use it anyway. I've heard of some people having issues flashing recoveries from Rom Manager. You'll need to get a PC36IMG.zip of the recovery you want (I have CWM & AR in my dropbox, I'll link you to them) and put it on the root of your SD. Don't rename it. Boot into bootloader, wait a second and it'll ask you to update. Choose yes with the volume up button. When it finishes, you should have your recovery.

When you get to the bootloader, it should search for PC36IMG.zip and then put you in a menu with ~5 options, one of them is recovery. Use the volume button to get to that, press power to select. It will reboot to the white screen, then load into the recovery.
If that doesn't work you may have a buggered up recovery. If you can boot the phone the first thing to try would be to open ROM Manager and try to re-flash Clockwork Recovery or hit "Flash Alternate Recovery" to install Amon's RA Recovery.
If you can't boot the phone, then you will need to do stuff from adb or fastboot.
EDIT:
If you can boot the phone, you may want to try installing through ROM Manager, but otherwise plainjane's idea is probably way better than messing with ADB or Fastboot if you aren't used to them.

Hello, Im kind of new to both this phone and custom roms, and it seems like ive gotten myself in some trouble.
I installed the ICS alpha rom to play around with, and now i cant seem to install any other rom. I had trouble flashing the clockwork recovery, so i used the alternate recovery listed at the bottom of the Rom manager program. That one worked, and i installed the ICS rom with no problem.
Now i want to install a different rom, but i for some reason cant. no matter what rom i try it gives errors at the verification point during installation and automatically aborts. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks,
Plethysmograph
Well I know CWM has an option when you install a .zip there's an option to turn off/on signature verification. But alternate recovery I dunno
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
the alternate recovery i have is RA_GNM Recovery 3.02, if that helps. I tried to flash clockwork recovery and i didnt get any problems but when i went to boot in to recovery it just booted in to the other one

Did you then go back into Rom Manager and select "Flash Alternate Recovery" to switch over to CWM?
Also, what version of CWM did you download? Where did you get this file from?
Here is a verified site for Inc recoveries: http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=28
Im confused, the alternate recovery option is the RA_GNM Recovery. I downloaded the latest version of it from the clockwork mod website (5.0.2.0)
would the problem im having be due to a different PB31IMG?

Ok, that is the proper file. Once you selected the option, your alternate recovery became your primary recovery and vice versa. Amon Ra is now and still your main recovery whereas CWM is your "alternate recovery." Selecting the "flash alternate recovery" option again (if it allows that is) should switch it back over to CWM.
Even after doing all that it still goes to the other recovery. Or maybe im just doing something wrong, which is most likely the case.

Ohhhh, I see the problem. Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" in Rom Manager to go from Amon Ra to CWM. To test, I began with CWM 3.0.0.8:
1) installed Rom Manager and upgraded to 5.0.2.0
2) selected "Flash Alternate Recovery" and Amon Ra was installed. I then booted into recovery to verify it was there.
3) reboot phone and go back into Rom Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and let it update.
4) go into recovery if you want to visual verification. Tada CWM 5.0.2.0 is installed for me.
How's this work?
I tried those steps and it seems like the other recovery is still on there. I must be doing something incorrect because your steps make sense, but for some reason my phone is just being incredibly stubborn
Also when i go and try to flash the stock PB31IMG file it says the current one is newer and doesnt go through with it. I know i had to use a different one in order to put ICS on, and for some reason i think it may have to do with some of the problems im having.

Hmm, aight how about this...
Go into rom manager and press Menu, then select "Erase Recovery" then try the first "Flash Clockwork Recovery" option again.
Otherwise, download CWM 5.0.2.0 from the link I posted above. Place that file onto the root of your sd card and delete the other CWM file you previously downloaded. As you know, you need to install this PB31IMG.zip via hboot.
I really think we can and will get this recovery situation straightened out.
Edit: just read your second post. Hmm, I wasn't aware of any additional CWM instructions for that rom. I'll take a look at it now and see if anything stands out.
When trying to use the stock PB31IMG file, I get the error that says:
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
Ive tried both and still no dice. Its really odd, and i agree with you on the instructions for that ROM, i know i saw them somewhere but i cant for the life of me remember where.
Flash this thru hboot http://dinc.does-it.net/PB31IMG.zip. Put it on your sd in no folders. Do not rename it. This is an hboot flashable of cwm 5.0.2.0.
Amon RA is stricter than cwm when flashing files by default. If you want to continue to use Amon you will need to go in to it and go to the flash zip menu and select toggle signature verifications. Then try to flash a rom.
Well I did not notice anything in that thread aside from rom bugs and people not able to flash that ICS [alpha] in recovery. The first set of directions I found are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20486856&postcount=244
I have to ask because both recoveries will be the same blue color. Regardless of the setting you select, when you go into recovery the label still states Amon Ra? As in, even after you go into recovery and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" then reboot into recovery the label at the bottom is the same "Amon Ra"?
I appreciate the assistance cmlusco.
the file linked did work, but clockwork still doesn't show up. it still loads the amon recovery for some reason. this is so frustrsting haha. I mean if there's no way to get clockwork on there do you know of any roms that will install through the amon recovery?
I'm not sure about AmonRa compatibility, I always assumed everything worked for both recoveries. I never strayed from the recommendation to use CWM. I took the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude. Have you tried the latter part of cmlusco's post in Amon Ra?

Verry strange. I have never heard of that happening. Well another sugestion would be to try to flash the stock recovery thru hboot and see if it will take. http://dinc.does-it.net/stockGBrecovery/PB31IMG.zip. If it does, reboot, and then try flashing cw again and see if it will take. If that dosent work i would try to flash an ruu and get back to stock.
I never saw an option to toggle the signature verifications, where is it? I tried the stock recovery, and it loaded up no problems but when i went in to recovery it was still the Amon Ra recovery.
