Not able to access recovery after netarchy-toastmod Kernal

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?

Clockworkmod recovery not staying updated

Everytime I update clockworkmod recovery to the latest issue via update zip it doesn't stay updated but reverts back to the previous version on reboot.Any ideas how to keep it updated?

Are you updating from ROM manager??

Using Rom manager to get the update yes then flashing the update zip in clockworkmod recovery itself

As far as I'm aware, the ROM Manager recovery is a "fake flash" mechanism, and you always need to enter recovery via ROM manager (or manually flash the update.zip)
If you want a permanent recovery image, you need to flash via Unrevoked.
Could be wrong, but that's my understanding anyway. I don't pay too much attention because I don't use ROM Manager much.

Desire was rooted via unrevoked ages ago. I use a widget to enter recovery. I then manually flash the clockworkmod recovery update zip which then updates clockworkmod to the latest version. I then reboot. ROM manager says I am at latest version I have just flashed however if I then enter recovery again,via any method, clockworkmod recovery has reverted back to old version as if I haven't flashed the update.

So you are saying that if you select "Reboot into Recovery" from ROM Manager, you end up in the recovery you flashed via Unrevoked?
If I go into recovery from ROM manager, I can see that it first "fake flashes" recovery and then boots into it. Going into recovery via Power +Vol Down, I boot into HBOOT from which I select Recovery - I then end up in the recovery image from Unrevoked.

no, i am saying that i can only reboot into that latest clockworkmod recovery, which is 2.5.0.7, if i reboot into recovery via ROM manager.
if i reboot via hboot or a reboot widget such as SwitchPro all i get is the version of clockworkmod recovery installed when i unrevoked, which is 2.5.0.1.
clockworkmod recovery doesnt recognise that i have flashed the update zip if i reboot into recovery via hboot or switchpro.
what i want is to be able to reboot into the latest version of clockworkmod recovery without using Rom manager.

dont worry i have figured out its not possible to keep the updated clockworkmod recovery because unrevoked doesnt unlock permanently the NAND flash chip. so even though its been updated when the new version of clockworkmod is flashed it doesnt stick.

And that is *absolutely* the correct behaviour, and is the point I alluded to my original post.
If you want to permanently update the recovery image on your phone to 2.5.0.7, you need to use Unrevoked again and select a custom recovery image (note these needs to be an IMG file, not a ZIP!).
Simply flashing the update.zip merely boots you into the new recovery, it doesn't actually flash the new recovery - hence the name, Fake Flash!

yeah i know its the correct behaviour, i just wasnt sure why other reboot methods didnt reboot into the newest version, now i know.
the latest version of unrevoked, v3.14 includes clockworkmod recover 2.5.07 as its default image anyway.
as i am already rooted using unrevoked can i just use unrevoked again? ie nandroid backup>root again with latest version of unrevoked>restore nandroid backup? will that work do you think?

Yes - it should be fine. You shouldn't technically need to backup/restore either since only recovery is affected.

clockworkmod 2.5.0.5 to 2.5.1.2

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

Same thing just happened to me. I had to re-flash the new version in Rom Manager and it works fine now.

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"

Issue with RomManager

So I am on CM 6.1, and I'm trying to flash Amon_RA or the latest version of CWM. I updated rommanager through the market.
THe issue is that the phone only boots into CW 2.5.0.1...even though when i run rommanager it says Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.6.0.1. If I try to flash RA as the alternate recovery, it says Current Recovery: RA Recovery v2.2.2....But when i reboot into recovery sure enough, its still CW 2.5.0.1.
Hopefully that makes sense. Thank you in advance.

Ok first off go to Amon reecovery thread and get the recovery that you can flash thru bootloader and it will change your recovery. Honestly I dont think you really grt the.full experience of how to properly use your phone using Rom Manager. Flashing Amin is just that eady and all directions is within the thread
If you need more help let me know

Worked perfect, thank you so much.

Rom Manager says 3.0.0.8 but recovery says 2.5.0.1

So i got the latest version of CW recovery but when i boot into recovery it says its 2.5.0.1
how do i get it to say 3.0.0.8 in recovery?? this might be why none of my roms will load

Mine would do that too, I think. It wouldn't work until I formatted my SD card to FAT32 I believe.

what color font is your recovery? I'm pretty certain they are separate updates\installs. Updating ROM Manager does not update Recovery.

its green font

ya, that's old 2.x. 3.x is orange. Just want to make sure... have you opened ROM Manager and then choose the first option, "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" ?

yup, the top of rom manager says 3.0.0.8
even when i go to the bottom and select older verisons, when i boot to recovery it still says 2.5.0.1

hmm ok. you could manually flash (see below) but I don't want to be wrong and have you try it and your phone b0rks. hopefully someone else will chime in and if they says it's ok, go for it.
manual way -> download the zip from here, rename to PB31IMG.zip, place on root of SDCard, boot into HBOOT, let it update.

Any other ideas before I try this??

When you flash from ROM Manager, first go to settings and check erase previous recovery.
See the thread in my sig.
BTW, there's very little risk in using a PB31IMG.zip to install a new recovery.
Also see dougpiston.com for recovery downloads.

Very important point.

So after i check it in setting do i click the flash recovery and pick 3.0.0.8?? and then let it flash that version? if so i did that and in recovery i still have 2.5.0.1
or do i click that, do a backup and try loading the new rom? im beyond annoyed!!

When i go into HBOOT it says image not found.

Formatted the SD card to Fat32?

Will I lose stuff on my card if I do that?

Yeah, just pull the files off and put em on your computer, format, then put em back.

Did you try WarmZ... I seen a zip file in there thread to allow you to install nightlies. it was suppose to set your CW to 2.5 for flashing the nightly and the reset itself. I have not tried it but that may be causing part of the issue.
otherwise did you try using ROM manager to change to 3.0.0.7 or 6 or 5? maybe that will reset whatever is going wrong with it.
Just a suggestion and good luck

I having the same problem. flashing the recovery by hboot worked for me. On 3.0.0.8 but Rom Manager will not work for flashing to older versions or alternate. So I'm confused why is RM not working for changing the recovery version?
