Via fastboot if you're S-Off.

I dont think i need them both,
I originially had clockworkmod after rooting with unrevoked,
then i installed amonra to split the sdcard,
now i want clockworkmod so i can flash unsigned roms.... so i used rom manager to flash it, done so about 10 times now, it says that i have it installed, and i can get to it only if i boot into recovery from rom manager, if i boot into recovery any other way i get amonra..
its not a huge problem since both recoveries are working properly, but id rather just have clockworkmod because im never going to split my card again..
anyone know how i can remove amonra and install cwm?
thanks.
If you are S-On you will have to use unrevoked to get back to ClockworkMod.
If you are S-Off, you can use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
By using ROM Manager you have installed ClockworkMod using the "fake-flash" method. It was how recoveries could be launched easily on desire before unrevoked cracked it!
Thats because ROM Manager uses a fake-flash so it will load CWM but when you boot from HBOOT it will use AmonRA as it's the permanent recovery
AmonRA is a better recovery and does the same job as CWM so just use that
Ooooohhhh I see, are there any negatives to using fake flashed clockworkmod?

No, it's just ROM Manager is a fail like that
(I don't like it in case you haven't guessed)
It just means that clockwork mod is not actually installed but just a update.Zip on the SD card which launches clockwork mod wheh flashed.
What version of amonra recovery do you have? It should be able to run unsigned zips.
1.7.0.5 r5 or something like that, it doesn't like unsigned.

How do I change my recovery back to clockwork from amun ra.
I used the unrevoked method to root my desire. For some reason I flashed the amun ra recovery. I want to put clockwork back on.
I've tried using unrevoked to load a custom image, and using rom manager. neither of these methods work.
Could anyone help as I cant find another way by searching the forum.
Thanks in advanced
if you want to get new recovery with unrevoked, you would have to run a RUU and unroot, then root again,with clockwork.
other options you have:
1) fake-flash.zip of CWM recovery - you would boot normally into AmonRa, then choose to flash the .zip file of CWM, and CWM would boot up - however you'd have to do that every time, and if for some reason your SD would corrupt or smth you would have only AmonRA.
2) the only other way is being S-OFF, and flashing CWM through fastboot. go to desire TUT section, and find a video 'how to set up adb'. do it, then s-off your device (if you already havent) and take it from there, there are numerous tutorials how to do it
Thank-you for the prompt reply.
I have just S-OFF my desire using alpharev method and installed the custom recovery that came with it.
Much happier now

My rom manager says it has successfully flashed cwm recovery but when I boot into recovery its still on amon RA! I have never ran into this issue before switching back and forth between recoveries. Any ideas?

Flash cwm manually, PB31IMG.zip through hboot. Google it, and I think dougpiston.com keeps them.
^ Yup. Inc. Recoveries
Alternatively, you might get away with going to ROM Manager > settings > check "Erase Recovery" and then reflash CWM.
Hello.
I did s-off on my phone (HTC Desire) with revolutionary and I used fastboot to install revolutionary recovery.
Now, when I try install clockworkmod recovery, revolutionary overrides it.
Do I should follow this thread or what?
Use the faq and irc channel of revolutionary.
SwiftKeyed from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Why would you rather use the "out dated" clockwork recovery?
The revolutionary recovery IS clockworkmod, It had just been re-skinned effectivly and is a newer version.
Having S-Off'd a friends phone and finding that he got the revolutionary CWM mod and I didn't have that on my S-Off Desire I ran the new AlphaRevX on my own phone. It asked if I was mad since it detected S-Off and asked if I wanted to flash the new CWM. Damned right I did!
So it installed its recovery even though you were already s off?
Does anyone have an img file of their recovery?
To the op:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery cwm.img

I'm trying to change the amon ra recovery to cwm5 but even though rom manager says that recovery is flashed succesfully the old amon ra still pops up when i reboot to recovery. I've also tried to flash cwm3 through amon ra and from amon ra reboot to recovery boots then to cwm3 but then after phone reboot amon ra is back. What gives?
Is it because the phone is still s-on? Are there any guides on how to get s-off on a 0.83 hboot and maybe cwm5 to work?
unrevoked seems to support only the newer 0.93 hboot.
Any help with this?
Just download alpharev 1.8 and burn to cd and boot to it. Follow instructions. You need to have a rooted stock Froyo Rom installed
