Trying to switch from clockwork to RA recovery- wont work

Another noob so please bear with me.
I tried to switch from clockwork to RA through simpleroot, after doing so it threw a lot of error messages at me and rebooted the phone, After that, in Boot menu I went to select "recovery" and it reloaded the boot menu. It simply will not go into recovery mode anymore, and all my attempt to load any of the recovery.img files to the SD, it will continue to not load in into recovery. Please help!

looks like a q & a post but

if your good to go, booting and rooted, get to the market and install rom manager - re-install clockwork mod recovery...
tons of other methods - this seems simple?

Yes that seems simple, but what if I want to install RA recovery instead? do I have that option and if so, where would I D/L Ra from?

rom manager will download it, my latest version shows RA 1.7.0.1 as "Flash Alternate Recovery" and install it, you can switch back and fourth, I have the premium version, not sure if the freebie does it, but support them anywoo and send some bucks!

Yes it does allow you to, the free version just doesn't allow you to access the ROM Manager, online ROM list. But it does allow you to hot swap between ROM's on the fly (essentially).

i've gone back and forth between the two using adb to flash the recovery.
Launch adb and run the command below (assuming you are familiar with adb and fully rooted)
flash_image recovery <path-to-recovery-image>

I purchased the premium version right off the bat - good info!
Personally, I use the crap out of it regardless of my adb and shell skills, but on the road, this little ditty is awesome!

"Flash Alternate Recovery" is blacked out and unavailable for selection, am I skipping a step or will I need to purchase the premium version to access this feature to download RA Recovery?

I never used the free version...

I have the premium version, perhaps more info is on the market? Regardless, I'd pop for it, you won't regret it.

Did you install Clockwork recovery first? Then try to switch to RA. The free version works fine for me will let me switch no problem.

Just by chance...

Flashed Clockwork and now flashing alternate...

Good nuff - it's well worth the bucks if you like to flash on the spot, backup and restore. I can flash till my hearts content, screw the pooch and restore in a heartbeat with all my stuff ready to roll.

How about the reverse question,,, I already have amon recovery image. I have tried to flash the clockwork over but no go. I have tried to installed from the rom manager, no go. I have fixed the permission. any Idea's, I would like to use the rom manager........ Someone Please help!

Search the forum for the RA zip file and just flash it with clockworkmod.

Here is the link for RA...there is a .2 version for those with bad blocks but .1 is the norm thus far. ROM manager should include the clockwork for you and once you've switched between the two it is pretty slick for on the fly mashing. Just know that CW has known issues with cleanly wiping...FYI

Ummm, no, don't do that, it is a recovery IMAGE not a ROM. Search for the thread for amon_ra's recovery, get the image file, use a terminal shell app from the market to flash the image. The instructions are in the first post of RA's thread.
I have the same problem, I used to be able to flash RA with rom manager, but stopped working for me as well. Even tried new SD card, wiping, nothing seemed to fix it. Now I jus keep the image in the root of my sd card and use the terminal commands. Almost as fast as clockwork, done it enough. Though as of late not use clockwork at all, just ra.

He's trying to go opposite from the OP?

If this is true - try uninstalling rom manager completely, if your not using it for backups and/or your nandroids aren't located in sdcard/clockworkmod - delete the folder and try to re-install from market. I don't believe nandroid and/or RA save to clockworkmod folder unless you have previously used rom manager?
And I have heard CW doesn't wipe cache or some such properly - never experienced issues to date...

This is true, but the rom manager was installed in my latest rom.. I will completely re-install the rom if needed just give me the order and directions, thank you in advance.

should I install a rom with out a rom manager, install the clockwork then reinstall my current rom????

ROM Manager Premium v.2.5.0.5

When trying to download a new Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.1 I'm getting an error occurred while flashing your recovery.
I'm able to flash 2.5.0.1.
Why is this happening. Is it because of my Kernel or ROM?

You must have denied permissions with setcpu to change the recovery. If not, just use fastboot and do it manually. Get klutsh's clockworkmod which lets you hack the ps3.
Also post your questions in the Q & A and not here.

I just installed the new version of ROM Manager premium, but it's still saying the latest recover is 2.5.0.1. Where are you seeing the newer one?

I dont think that recovery is for our phones...looking at the mirror where the file comes from i dont see one for the evo of that version
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/
2.5.0.1 is the latest (recovery) the app on the other hand is different

The guy above me is correct. 2.5.1.1 is the latest for certain phones, but not for the EVO. I don't know why it lists itself as a possibility though, I would think it could filter the results based on your type of phone.

[Q] Do I Need To Upgrade My Clockwork Recovery IMG?

Hi i followed the xda wiki guide to root my phone and it said to push clockwork recovery img 3.0.2.4. so when i go to the clock work menu, it says 3.0.2.4. i have downloaded the latest rom manager on my phone which is version 4.3.2.4. im wondering if i need to reflash the latest clockwork onto my phone again or can i just leave it as is?

I don't quite understand your post -- according to ROM Manager, the latest CWM recovery is v3.0.2.4...

but when i go to rom manager it says i need to flash clockwork recovery mod even though i already have the clockwork recovery menu. should i just reflash it?

The latest official ClockworkMod Recovery is 3.0.2.4. The very latest UNOFFICIAL CWM recovery image is 3.1.0.1 (check my signature), and that brought back sd-ext support (and is needed for the latest PyroMod ROMs).

ok thanks but should i just clik flash clockwork mod recovery? i already have it when i installed it during the root process. if i click flash clockwork mod recovery will it screw up because i already have it?

No it won't mess anything up to flash it again via rom manager. What color is the text in the cwr you have right now? Is it orange?

If it says "CWM must be installed" or words to that extent, just hit the option at the very top of ROM Manager and follow all prompts. That will install 3.0.2.4 to your phone. If you want to install the current official Froyo build, scroll down and install the 2.5.1* recoveries.

yes its orange text

also it says my phone model is G2. is that ok even though its the DZ?

ok i got clockwork recovery to work. im going to install virtuous unity on my phone. do i just place the .zip folder in the root of my sd and then boot into clock work recovery to install? also do i need any new kernals for the virtuous unity rom or can i just use the stock kernal?

Just place the zip in the root of your sd card, fire up CWM and follow normal flashing procedure:
1. NANDroid back up
2. Wipe Cache, Davlik, Data, Battery Stats
3. Install from zip
4. Reboot phone after first boot
I believe Unity comes with an OCable kernel up to 1.5GHz. They do not recommend you use SetCPU or CPUTuner as the built in daemon reacts faster than those apps.

Just put the .zip file onto the root of the SD, and flash from ROM Manager. All custom ROMs come with kernels. You only need to flash a kernel if you want to add different overclock options, CPU governors, or to try to clear up a specific issue. The kernel included with Unity works just fine.

[Q] ClockWork Recovery App question.

Hi
I root my HTC EVO about 2 weeks ago. When Unrevok ask me to install the custom recovery I answer yes (CWM V4.0.1.4). Everything went great. After that I download the Rom Manager App to manage my backups.
On the Rom Manager App when I press on "Backup Current Rom" I get this prompt "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing!. Install the recovery though Rom Manager First".
It is safe to install the ClockworkMod Recovery even do I have CWM V4.0.1.4 ?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, rom manager will just re-flash it to the latest version.

Amon-Ra vs. CWM
Is it really that much better? I kinda like the ROM manager that came with my CM7 Rom, and I know that prefers CWM.

Or do yourself a bigger favor and install twrp.

ROM Manager has a history of not being as efficient as it promises and making mistakes in backups. It also will not do a correct wipe of your system before flashing a new ROM, which creates problems, potentially, with FC's, etc...

TWRP is not there yet. They lack the wipe boot feature which will screw up alot of ROM installs. Ra Recovery is still the way to go, plus all ROMS that have issues flashing in CWM have issues in TWRP. Once TeamWin fixes the major issues with TWRP then it will be the recovery to use. Presently it is still flawed.

If I have ROM manager can I just download and flash RA Recovery over that without having to flash the PC36IMG.zip? I'm new to this so I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

If you have the android sdk installed on your system just boot to your bootloader and select fastboot. Then place the file in .img format in your android-sdk-windows\tools directory then rename the file to something shorter, I usually go with amonra.img. then navigate to that directory with cmd. Then type fastboot flash recover amonra.img this will flash the new recovery. However if you don't have the sdk installed then you will need the pc36img.zip format place it on the root if your sdcard and reboot the phone while holding power+vol up. The bootloader should detect the file and ask if you wish to apply the update. Press vol up to accept the update, and it will flash the new recovery. Now once you do this you will need to make all new backups because any backup made with CWM will not work with ra recovery.

[Q] Cyan Nexus Boot Splash CM 7.1.0

hello,
a while back I found the zip for a unique Nexus style boot splash, but the Google coloured logo was all in a cyan colour, I think it was meant for CM users,
wanted to flash it as my boot screen, and could not find it anywhere, was wondering if someone had the zip to flash for the custom boot splash
and if its as easy as just flashing the zip from clockwork recovery or if there are slightly diff. directions to get it working, i'll attach a photo to see if anyone recognizes it, or can even make it!
I have an Evo 4g running CM 7.1.0
cheers,

would appreciate any help, cheers

I hope u found out by now how to do this but just use any root explorer to paste the new bootanimation.zip in /system/media and set permissions then rebbot to enjoy alternatively that specific boot animation is available thru ROM toolbox lite in the play store along with many other choices.

There is one like that in the Rom toolbox app from the market. I use that app and it had that boot animation. It installs it for you too, no recovery needed.
