I tried to update my clockwork to 3.0 , I was on 2.6 , I used rom manager to do the update, everything looked like it updated, rom manager shows that I'm on 3.0 , but when I boot into recovery it says I'm still on 2.6 , I've tried using the rom manager update several times with no results, any suggestions?

Do it manually from the bootloader screen. If i may, I would suggest you switch to amon RA v2.3. It is very simple to install and operate. Download amon RA from http://goo.gl/cgh5e and to install:
Shut down your EVO and then press & hold the volume down button while pressing the power button. When your EVO starts, you will be directed to the Hboot screen where amon RA zip file will be automatically detected and you will be prompted to install it. Follow the prompts to install. Installation will take less than 10 seconds to complete. Afterwards, reboot into recovery.
I'm using cm7 and they recommend staying with clockwork

Download Clockworkmod from http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-supersonic.img
Install it by using ADB and you must have the Flash_Image file on the root of your SD card. If you don't have a flash_image file, let me know and I'll send it to you via PM
start the terminal app or launch adb
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/ name of recovery file
UPDATE: I sent the flash_image file to you via PM.

As the title says, what are the steps to go from Amon to Clockwork? Is it a simple install as if I never had Amon?
Thanks

I think you can just download rom manager and then choose to install the clockwork recovery

For some reason I can't flash my radio/wimax/pri to the latest versions for some reason, I boot into ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0 and run the .zip file and it looks like it's running and it says updating radios for a split second then it takes me back to recovery.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I think you have to reboot before it flashes the images
I have tried first flashing the rom and then reboot into recovery and flash the .zip file but it still does the same thing, run for a split second and then go back to recovery and when I boot and check the radio version iit shows no change

Try using a lower version of clockworkmod... lots of problems for people with the versions 3+. I currently use 2.6.0.1 and everything works perfectly. 3+ is meant for the newest of new Rom's like Cyanogen 7... if your not on that, flash an older version.
P.s. stick with 2.6.0.1 as it backs up your wimax keys...

I will give that a shot. Thanks for the help!

In rom manager it only shows 2.5.0.7
Is there a link to how to flash to 2.6.0.1?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yes I'm on my evo so I'm not going go searching for it... but you should be able to find it fairly easy. If I remember correctly I had to get the correct file, then rename it to pc3600.img then boot into bootloader and it will auto find it and ask you if you want to start the update.
Or you could just use the version that Rom Manager has but it wont back up your wimax and if you somehow lose that you'll hate your life...

After some research I found an image and some steps to flash the recovery. After that the install and radio updates went flawless. I really appreciate the advice!

So guys I need to your opinion i root my beautiful evo whit unrevoked3 and after I rooted I got Rom manager from the app store and I download the clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 but I been having some problems for example when I tried to put a Rom or a karnel (not always) I got a mssg saying that the action was aborted but 2day I say in the Rom manager that I can flash ra recovery v2.2.2 so here is my question should I put the ra recovery v2.2.2 or I should leave the clockworkmod and thnx in advanced &*)

You can have either or. if you're on clockwork 3.0+ you can't flash files that aren't edify compatible, on amon_ra you don't really have to worry about it. And if you do so, use the latest version, which is attached.
Can u tell me how flash that plz

I'm in agreement with the roxxorz. Use amon RA v2.3 and familiarize yourself with its menus. I recommend that you not use ROM manager because it is far too easy to to flash a Rom, kernel, mod or recovery from within the recovery itself. Furthermore, you have more control over the process....

Place the on the root of your sdcard, then boot into the bootloader, wait, then apply the update, reboot, then reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3. Then make a backup immediately, because you can't restore clockwork backups.

Put the file on the root of your SD CARD then shutdown your device. While holding the down volume button, press the power button. You will enter the bootloader menu. A few lines of text will scroll on the screen and then the bootloader will automatically detect the PC36IMG.ZIP file and prompt you to install it. Follow the prompts to install. The installation takes less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot.

He's saying you should be comfortable flashing from recovery because you can't flash everything, like a kernel, from rom manager.

Ok so I am trying to flash my old sense backup. (Why doesn't matter) I had RA-Recovery but I have to use Clockworkmod to restore the original stock backup. I downloaded Rom Manager and flashed it and it says that is what is running. I have done this several times but everytime I go into recovery it is still on RA. What can I do?
Download the PC36IMG and put it on the root of your SD. Boot into bootloader and when it asks if you want to update say yes. Now boot into recovery and you're in cwm

Thanks. Finally that nightmare is over.
Just S-OFF'd and rooted my wife's Inc2. Does anyone know if it is ok to use ROM Manager to flash Clockwork Recovery after using the Revolutionary tool to install their custom Clockwork Recovery? The reason I want to is because ROM Manager doesn't seem to recognize the Revolutionary CW Recovery that their tool installs.
Does it work? Will it ruin recovery? What's the story?
Revolutionary doesnt push SU unless they updated it to. And you need root to flash recovery with rom manager. If you cant get recovery installed with revolutionary, youll have to install it with fastboot.

Thanks Times,
I used their tool which (after S-OFF) pushes a custom clockwork recovery which I then used that to flash SU onto it. But now I was wondering if it was ok to use ROM Manager to push a clockwork recovery that it could recognize. But it looks like Beenz was able to with success, just looking to see what others have done or know.
Thanks!
I also have the CWM installed by Revolutionary. In ROM Manager, go to menu --> manual flash override. I've been using it with no problems without having to reflash CWM. The only drawback is that every time ROM Manager starts up, it tells me that there is an newer version of CWM available. Not the end of the world.
So reflash or don't, works either way.
Thanks xenakis.
