so im stuck on gingerbread, and can only use my backup with is a gingerbread one, when i reload cwm 2.5.x through fastboot its doesnt work just loas the rom and never boots past the htc screen. being stuck on gingerbread aint the worst but i always like to move around. any ideas?
try flashing the recovery from rom manager, this will install the 2.5 recovery. fastboot flash will only work if you have the eng h-boot, radio s-off won't do.
yeah got the eng h-boot
and im geting into 2.5, and it says it loads but no dice.
doing the install through rom manager just force closes on gingerbread for me.

You can't flash back to CM6 via the ROM Manager. You need to flash CWR v2 via the ROM manager, boot into recovery and manually flash your CM6 backup. And be sure to do a full wipe of everything before flashing

You should still go the gfree route, they found the initial hack could be overrided; check the Wiki here for a guide to use gfree for those of us that rooted from the get go.

Okay, I think I got it. You flashed Gingervillan without backing up your stock ROM?

If you want to flash a non-GB ROM, you need the CWM2 (which is what you did). It sounds like after you put this recovery back though, you tried to flash a GB backup? This won't work (since anything GB requires CWM3).
If you have the CWM2 recovery, just go download any Froyo-based ROM you want to use, place the zip on you SD card, boot into recovery, and apply the zip.
nah just tried to flash a 2.2 rom through cwm2.5 no backup will only flash gb backup through 3.0.0.5

I am unable to flash any roms except cm6 ( I can also flash any nightlies. )
This is driving me crazy. I have tried to flash fresh 3.2 to no avail. I have also tried to install the new virus rom. I attempted to install the rooted version off the newest ota with the same results.
After each attempt the result is the same. It will just hang on the HTC evo 4g screen.
I have downloaded the roms a few times each to ensure they were completed correctly.
I have pulled the battery and waited.
I have deleted all data / dalvik / Cache several times in a row.
I have attempted to flash using a different version (earlier) of clockwork with the same results.
I even attempted to flash with RA recovery. Same results.
I am completely lost as to why I can only flash cm6 roms
Please let me know any suggestions.

From what I have read...................
You need to restore a 2.1 or a 2.2 rom you have, boot to that, then you can flash to a 2.2 rom.
You can't go from CM directly to another rom.
I am on 2.2

An HTC rom.
CM is not a typical ROM.
Restore your original backup, and try from there. If you don't have one, you may need to RUU

Ok, so basically I am going to unroot - reroot?
I just flashed from cm6 straight to baked snack directly with no problems. Not really helpful but you shouldnt need to flash to a stock rooted rom first. Note sometimes you have to wait a good 5 minutes for the htc screen to go away. Probably took about 5 when I moved from cm6 to snack.
I just tried again, attempted to go to fresh. I let it sit for 10 minutes with no results.

I unrooted- rerooted with the same results, I cannot flash ANY roms other than Cm6 it seems, this is very frustrating..
Anyone else have any ideas at all??
Thanks!
Try flashing a new recovery. If you're using the newest amon go back to the last one or vice versa. Or even move over to clockwork. But I would ask about that I know clockwork doesn't play well with cm6. This could get you in trouble but I guess you always go back to amon.

Nothing worked, tried going to different recoveries/versions. Nothing.
Anybody? Any advice?
if you flashed cm6 and have it working... its my understandung that you cqn not just go and flash a different rom. there is a process that needs to be followed.
but i have never and never will use cm6 so i could easily be talking from my rear.

I flash from cm6 to rooted stock rom when I need to update prl and stuff.
After you flash wipe dalvik and cache again I had that problem when flashing snap.

I was affected by CWM when I upgraded to 3.0. I can't flash any ROM's except for Fresh's. I've tried going through Rom Manager, manually downloading ROM, AR recovery. The ROM install will complete but when I reboot I'm still in Fresh's. I don't know what it did to my phone. I've even deleted the rom.zip and downloaded it again thinking it was a bad download. From here on out I'm permanently switching to AR so if you guys can let me know what I should do.
By the way I list my backups. I did have a backup of UD but it won't restore in CWM. Will it work if I copy the backup from CWM and move it to the Amon Ra folder? I don't want to try it and possible make things worse.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yes I need help on this, too. I wanted to go to Myn's rom and can not at all. And I believe I read backups are not interchangeable between CW and RA.
You need to restore amon_ra 1.8 as your recovery and then reflash your rom. Cwm backups are not compatible with ra.

I tried that. I re-downloaded the ROM's, placed on the root, flashed in Amon Ra and it completes but doesn't boot up. Out hangs at the white htc evo splash screen. The CWM broke my phone.
I'm trying to avoid flashing the stock RUU and rooting again. I'm guessing there may be a file thats conflicting. By the way I deleted ROM manager permanently.

you can do this using cwm(rom manager) , if its greyed out then dl the latest amon_ra1.8 and put on the root of your sd card, then try again thru cwm. thats what worked for me.
But yea the latest cwm update isnt something to get excited about. doesnt play nice on some evo's.
stick with good ole faithful Amon_Ra and start flashing from recovery, not from some app. its always stable and not to mention wipes correctly/easily

So I updated to the newest version of Clockwork Recovery and have backups that have a previous versions as well but as some of you may or may not know v3 is full of bugs.
I cannot flash or restore anything and the phone boots and force closes everything off of the restore. Only thing that seems to be working is 3G, wifi, and unlock screen. When I slide to unlock I get HTC Sense and HTC DM forced closing over and over.
Is there anyway to force a downgrade or switch to amon ra recovery from recovery mode?

CWM Recovery 3.0.0.X
If that doesn't work you may have to flash a stock image and re-root. Once re-rooted you can flash a prior recovery 2.5.x and restore from there. That's what I had to do after upgrade to 3.0.0.0. Not hard just frustrating.
I'm pissed. This should have been tested thoroughly. This isn't like some game that FC's. This screwed a lot of people. Unroot and re-root like he said.

I can't reroot or any of that, it won't get past the splash screen. I can access the recovery mode but when I restore a NAND backup or wipe and/or anything else it just reboots right into the splash again. This is a real big disappointment, I dont' think I will ever use clockwork again.

Koush talked about how in 3.0 he removed the support for the old scripts that google has dropped since android 1.6. He and AmonRa kept support for that style of scripting for a while, but most rom builders should have been off of those by now. CyanogenMod has been using the newer scripting for more than 9 months now.

well since i cant flash kernels but i can flash roms that comes with kernels is possible i can customize the kernel in the rom? i mean like flashing a rom and adding my own choice kernel?
Why can't you flash kernels? You do it in recovery the same way you flash a rom - with the exception of wiping data. You only need to wipe cache/dalvik.

i dont know whats wrong with my phone but all the kernels i tryed to flash it end up in a bootloop. i flash sense with sense and aosp with aosp kernels they all go into bootloop. trust me i even used amon ra recovery sometimes backing up with amon ra recovery and trying to restore sometimes it doesnt work. clockworkmod seem to be fine but cannot flash kernels.

you dont know i try everything i even posted it on xda asking for help. i follow all there steps still same problem bootloops. i even had to factory reset twice because i was stuck in bootsceen. i used unrevoked to root but i was thinking maybe if i unrevoked it and using a differnt method to root. but i havent tryed it. so i donno if its phone or the program im using to root i donno whats the deal. i never flash any kernels because i was unable to pass the bootloop. the only way to get a custome kernel is flashing a rom that has a custom kernel.
It def doesnt have anything to do with unrevoked. What ROM are you running and what kernel are you trying to flash? Are you wiping cache and dalvik?

Hello, just checking to see if anyone can help, everytime I try to install a new rom it says that it installes but then when I reboot it boot loops after the htc evo 4g screen. I have used clockwork recovery and also used ra-supersonic-v2.3. The only thing I can install is my nandroid that I have from a previous rom. The new update wont boot either. If any one can help please let me know.
Try wiping everything and then flash the rom. And dont flash two zips at yhe same time.

I have also used a format all.zip, nothing. everytime i wipe everything multipule times it does the same. Only the nandroid works no other roms will. Please help
