this is my problem
i have clockworkmode recovery 1.8.... and i need the new version
i try to flash the 2. something with rom manager and when i reboot my phone into the recoverey it ask me for (apply update.zip) when i hit that the clockworkmode version is still 1.8...... i dont know why
i try to flash the amom_RA recovery with rom manager and its the same apply update.zip and it goes back to clockworkmode
the reason for what i need this is becouse i cant install the new radio with my recovery and also cant install the cyanogen mode rom
please if some one know how to solve this please let me know..
thanx in advance and sorry my english is not perfect
You do not flash an update.zip to update clockworkmod. You just launch rom manager then click the top button to flash the latest version. Also, you can scroll down to the bottom and there is an option to flash an alternate recovery to flash ra
yes i did that and when my phone reboot i hit recovery and then i press volume up and power like allways and then i see this screen
android system recovery <2e>
use volume key to highlight :
click power key to select
reboot system now
apply sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
the only option i have is apply update.zip so please help thanx what i have to do to get a new recovery without this option (apply update.zip) or a newer update.zip file ?????

So you have your zip file that you want to flash on the root of your sd card?
What recovery are you running right now?

please help if any idea thanx in advance
is your NAND unlocked? I am running the eng-boot loader and my version is 0.76.2000
I am not 100% sure because I don't use clockwork, but I think the newer ones actually flash the recovery partition, whereas the older ones put an update.zip onto the sd card. So if you are sure that your NAND is unlocked, you should delete that update.zip on your sd card. If your NAND is not unlocked then you need to go do that

Hi,
Once you have chosen which rom and radio you want. You need to transfer them to your Sim card in the sdcard/ root directory.
Once that is done, turn off your phone, and turn on while holding down " Vol down" and power.
You will then get into the fastboot screen.
Here you use the vol up and down to select recovery and the power button to select.
Once recover boots us you use the optical pad to control and select.
Here you choose install from ZIP
Then you choose the Rom you previously copied onto your SD and run, after the rom has finished installing, then do the radio.
After you hav finished reboot the phone, but reboot into recovery and and select Wipe.. after wipe has finished. Reboot and your ready to go.
Any Questions?
Whats the worst there can happen if you miss a step or reboot in normal mode... So what is the worst case scenario apart of failed hardware during this procedure.

flashing a rom is the same as flashing a radio or a kernel
the recovery will tell the difference
install it like you would a rom
note that a radio takes a long time to boot for the first time, it will reboot several times by itself taking about a minute, DO NOT touch the phone or you might brick it.
put any ROM/radio/kernel on your sdcard
go into recovery or use rom manager
install zip from sdcard
done.

Good advice, I panicked the first time I flashed a radio.. I thought I had killed the device.
radio files
hi,
i've downloaded a radio but it comes in a folder with radio.img and a folder with a sequence of other folders. shall i just copy everything to my sd card and install it? do i have to rename it!? its seems strange because i thought it had to be a zip file!?

ok so i tried to update the radio wiimax and prl cause i wanted to update to myns rom something went wrong and now im stuck at the white evo 4g screen i did make a back up and tried to recover but its still stuck someone hellp please ..
any help would be great cant imagin being wihout my evo =[
it also says wrong image when i boot in2 hboot or recovery im a noob at this so if anyone can get back o me id be willing to give any info needed to fix this
also when going into nandroid to restore it says
"sd-ext.img not found skipping restore of /sd-ext."
I had a similar issue when I first flashed a ROM. What version of what recovery are you using? Is it clockworkmod or RA? You will probably need to flash a new PC36IMG.zip file to get it back up and running. I used the unrooted version found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
Then I re-rooted with unrevoked, and proceeded to reflash the ROM. If you are using clockworkmod, you need to change to RA, and if you are using an older version of RA you need to update. Let me know what you're using, and I'll try to help.

yes im using clockworkmod and how can i sync my phone with my comp to flash the pc36img.zip .?
You'll have to do it while in recovery. Pull the battery on the phone, and put it back in. Hold donw the volume down button on the side while you hold down the power button. This will boot the phone into the bootloader. After a few seconds it will scan for some files, just ignore that. Once it scans, you can move your sleection by using the volume down button. Move your selection to recovery, and push the power button to select it. Then you'll see the recovery screen come up. In one of the menus there is a selection for mass storage, or something like that. When you toggle that on, you can use your phone like a disk drive, and just drop the PC36IMG.zip file in the folder.
ok fter i do that what should i do
again thank you so much for your help
in clockwork recovery you will have
-reboot system now
-apply sdcard:update.zip
-wipe data/ factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-install zip from sdcard
-nandroid
-partition menu
- advanced
**You want to select partition menu**
Partition menu gives you thes options:
mount/data
unmount/ cache
mount/ sdcard
format system'format data
format cache
format boot
mount USB storage
**Now plug your phone into your computer and select mount USB Storage**
ok so in the exact order after i put the file on my sd card
In order to install the update, follow the steps below. This will erase everything you had stored in your phone, and set it back to how it was when you got it from the factory. Once you drop the new PC36IMG.zip file onto the phone, shut the phone off. If there's no menu option, then pull the battery. Then power the phone into bootloader again. It should scan for the same files, and this time find the one you put in there. When this happens a blue bar will show up on the right side. When the bar finishes, it will ask if you want to update with the new file. Say yes, and let it finish. It will probably restart once during the update, so don't freak. When it's all done it will ask if you want to reboot. Say yes. Now it will be back to stock. If you want to try to flash again, re-root using enrevoked. When that's done, isntall ROM Manager from the market. When that's installed, open it. At the bottom of the screen should be a selection for flash an alternate recovery (Amon RA), if it's higher than version 1.8, then install it and you're good to go. Clockworkmod has a lot of issues.
Did it work out for you?
yes thank you so much I got my phone up and running

trying to root my evo 4g. using revolutionary. how do i move the superuser folder to my sd card? everything worked flawlessly until i tried to recover at the end. phone locked up and showed a exclamation mark. had to take out battery. luckily it didnt brick the phone. sorry... this is my first time rooting
If you hboot shows the 6.16 hboot, you're rooted; you just have no recovery. You can go to the dev section, download and flash the amon ra (style), cwm, or twrp/2.0 recovery at your choice.

Save flashable zip from here to desktop. Then mount phone as disk drive via usb and copy flashable zip to root of sd card. Boot into custom recovery and flash zip. If you are rooted and do not have a custom recovery I suggest Amonra recovery from here.
You can also download super user from the market here

Hmm, that's odd. Twrp 1.x works fine; it must be either the .2 or .3 version of Twrp 2, because I used the initialize version just fine. The only issue was that it sometimes didn't wipe a second time after flashing an initial rom.

man... still want work. i put the recovery on my sd card and it still gives me the exclamation mark and the phone locks up. i guess i need to start over. how do i start over the whole root process? this really sux. this is like 20th time ive tried to root this phone and gave up
Dude i promise you when you get it right you'll realize that it wasnt as hard as you thought. Trust me i been there before. Look w/ revolutionary if you did it right it'll ask you do you want to download clockworkmod from the internet. Hit "Y" for yes.
It does it automatically. I did a bunch of phones the same way.

Put the recovery on your sd card as PC36IMG.zip (make sure it's not PC36IMG.zip.zip).
Turn phone off and pull the battery.
Put battery back in and hold volume down while pressing power (press the volume down first before pressing power).
Hold until white Hboot screen comes up (should say Revolutionary at top).
Wait for it to scan your sd card and press volume up to let it update.
You can reboot phone or go staight into recovery by not rebooting and selecting recovery with power button in Hboot
here's a link for AmonRa 3.11 (recovery that I recommend) http://www.multiupload.com/UW89IC4DBW

If you downloaded from the link I gave you in post above then rename zip to "PC36IMG" (all caps) and place on root of sd card and boot into hbot.
Notes:
To boot into hbot hold "vol. down' and "power" at same time. When you boot into hbot it will ask if you would like to update recovery. Select volume up and let it do its work and yes to reboot when finished.
PS: When you have finished updating recovery either rename PC36IMG zip or erase from sd card.
great.... now it want even reboot when i hold the power and volume button down. wtf!!!!
Pull the battery then try again. I had that issue once awhile back.
this is getting on my last nerve!!! i downloaded recovery ra supersonic and finally got it on my sd card. i click to download through revolutionary and it says cant open file. this is getting old! ok... please remember i am a totall noob with all of this. i suck bad with software. awfully bad. i can build a computer but i can not do programming and stuff like that.
after i download a recovery tool to my computer... what do i do after that? unzip the files... what? ive just been copying the folder and moving it to disk e where my sd card is. wow... this aggravating

Wrong. Leave the recovery zip, [named PC36IMG] zipped on your sd card, then boot into the bootloader [power off the phone, hold vot+down until you see the white screen] it should then prompt you to update and should say recovery, select up, select up to reboot, hold vol+down, this time decline the update, select recovery, and you should be on amon ra.

please help my phone doesn't want to go pass the recovery i try to do a recovery but it tells me that can't mount sdcard and after that goes black and giving me a five or six vibrations anyone knows any knows any fix please Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks from a Noob
Are you able to get access to the bootloader? I'm unsure of where you're problem is. Please outline your steps and where it's failing.
yes am able to get to bootloader but when i get to select zip file to install bam there it goes E:/ can't mount sdcard that's as far as it goes and if i get it to restart i get a black screen with 6 vibrations and a blinking green light. any idea???
well you're trying to install something from the bootloader and we need to get to recovery. Bootloader will try to install whatever is labeled pc36img.zip on the root of your sd card. This can contain installs for radios, recoveries (clockwork/amen ra), splash screens and maybe some other things. If you have a recovery installed you should be able to NOT install form the sd card when you are in bootloader and then load recovery where you would flash your new ROM. If you don't have a bootloader installed, You will need to download one (do a search for Amen Ra or clockwork), rename the install zip to pc36img.zip, move it to the root of your sd card and then in the bootloader when it ask you if you want to install, then you can hit yes. Once the recovery is installed, then you need to load recovery flash everything but your sd card and install a new ROM.
Hope this helps
If you don't have option to go to recovery from bootloader, then you need to put a recovery in PC36IMG form on root of SD card. Then power on by volume down and power button. Bootloader should find and install your recovery.
On another note. Over last 2 yrs, I've seen many people lose recovery, get the 5 vibrates, and never be able to recover from it despite valiant effort. Hopefully this is not your case.

What they need to do is basically reformat the sd card completely, then repartition [if they are].
