Hello guys. I got a question. I rooted my phone a while ago and since I flashed to Myn's RL5 rom (which is the best rom I used anyway), I can't seem to do a nandroid backup and can't boot into recovery. Just wondering if I'm missing something or should I try to unroot and get another evo?
Thanks in advance.

Use rom manager off the market and flash one of the recoveries then try to boot into recovery and see what happens

what root method did you use? Did you flash a recovery during root?
At first, I was using the Clockwork mod recovery and that didn't work. But when I used the RA recovery everything worked out fine. Thank s

Amon RA is the best...backs up WiMax, which is more than RSA keys. Highly recommend to any rooted EVO

I believe there is a guide to all this. You should check it and see if that could help answer your question(s). Best of luck

not sure, but worth a try
i think you can just download rom manager and hit "flash clockworkmod recovery" at the top. tell me if this works.
Do I have to wipe first?

Nope. Just download rom manager and there is an option to flash clockwork mod as your recovery. That's what I did. No need to wipe or anything, it does it instantly from the app.

I'm using Fresh 3.1.0.1 (haven't updated to .2 yet) with Netarchy's kernel.
Everything requiring root works, 54 fps works, as does all the normal stuff (camera, etc), but with all of the Sprint junk removed. Simple but exactly what I wanted.
Im going crazy trying to figure out how to root my evo and flash a new rom. Its so many different ways to root. Does any one know the best way and can help me lol. And whats the best rom out there.

you can use unrevoked it will be easiest takes about 10 mins just use this link for step by step instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787304
unrevoked3 painless root and flash will give your full root and nand unlock plus it will flash clockwork all at the same time. if you don't like clockwork after thats done just download ROM manager and download amon ra recovery and flash it through rom manager and you'll be set to flash custom roms

+1. This should be a really easy way to root if you aren't familiar with rooting.
+2 unrevoked is by far the easiest method to do so.
I made a video showing how to do it from beginning to end. The program literally does all the work, you just need to push a few buttons here and there when it asks you to do so.

Really?? i had no idea.
+3 on unrevoked. it's super simple. once you are rooted, however, the real fun begins
Ive been going back and forth on using unrevoked, but I kinda want to do it the long way so I can learn how to do it...

Thanks guys. One more thing. What suggestions do you guys have after rooting
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
First thing you should do is download ROM Manager and backup your stock ROM. Read up on the different ROMs available and let the fun begin!
Now when you say "stock ROM", is that the stock ROM thats rooted, or is it the rooted version that u r backing up?

You can't perform a full nand backup (that'd what nandroid does) until you are rooted, so what he is saying is to root using unrevoked, and then immediately do a nandroid backup. That way you will always have a completely "stock" backup (that has root) in case your future rom flashing endeavors should leave your phone in an unusable state. This initial backup is also handy should you ever need to unroot.

he means as soons as you root backup, to witch i concur but i recommend flashing amon ra recovery from rom manager first since amon backs up your keys for wimax and radio's

what recovery do you use?

nosympathy wanted to know what recovery you're using: Clockwork or Amon Ra?
Reflash your recovery.

So your problem is only that you can't get into recovery? If it still boots up, then just turn it on and use ROM manager to flash clockwork recovery back on the phone. You should be good to go after that.
I have a rooted EVO running the AVA-FROYOZ3 ROM. I has to has Clockwork Version 2.5.0.7 to install this Rom because it wouldn't work with the newer version. I am going to install the OMGB Stock Gingerbread ROM. Do I have to update to clockwork 3.0.0.5 before I flash the Rom?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I would recommend the latest cw 3.0 or amon ra 2.3. Preferably amon ra 2.3 imo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
The bootloader method would be the easiest to flash amon ra but if you do kiss rom manager good bye (if you use it).
So if I want clockwork 3.0 I can just flash it through ROM Manager and it won't mess up my current Rom?

Correct, and it shouldn't break or mess up anything.

I doubt it, however and as has already been suggested, you really should consider switching to amon-RA v2.3. I don't know of a rom yet that can't be flashed with it and when you run into trouble, more than likely, you will need amon-RA to get you out of it. At least that has been my experience.

Yea I switched to Amon-RA and all went fine. Thanks guys. Quick question. Can I restore the nandroid backups I made through Clockwork with Amon -RA?

Negative lol. Any you made with cw can't be used with amon ra and vice versa.

I got my EVO yesterday and came with 2.2 and i rooted thru Unrevoked 3.2... (simplest root ive done)
I just want to know if there would be any problem flashing roms or anything. I got the latest clockwork recovery installed.
Thanks

Should have no problems as long as your s-off. Also I do recommend getting rid of clockworkmod recovery and getting amon ra(supersonic ra). Clockworkmod is know to cause problems and some roms are not compatible with it
