Any idea why ?
When i tell rom manager to install a recovery it shows as if it's doing it. But then when I reboot in to it, it's still the same (right now i have Amon)
I've seen people have this problem before. I've never used Rom Manager so I haven't experienced it, but I've helped others with the same issue.
Since you're on Amon Ra, I'm assuming you're trying to flash ClockworkMod? If so you'll need to get a PC36IMG of CWM and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into the bootloader - you can use an app to do this or you can do it manually. To do so manually, power down the phone. Then hold the volume down and power buttons at the same time until you see the bootloader. It will ask you to update, choose yes (volume up) when it asks you to update.
Ta-da! You're done.
Here's a PC36IMG of CWM, I'm not sure the exact version as it's only there if someone else needs it, but it is 3.x --

Also, out of curiosity, why are you switching?
I had to use ra for the radios update.
I had to load it manually too. I wish I could find why its not working
If you on amon_ra, I don't believe rom manager will work.

Stay on RA and flash thru recovery and learn how to use those tools. It will help you out in the long run...Some how some way
Why would you want to go from AR to CWM?? To me, that's a downgrade
Because I can batch a few zips easily....
I had that same problem but I did use the above post to go back but now I use ra its way better the only good thing about cwm is you can name your backups but I just back them up to my PC anyway and name them just incase my sd card gets fried.

You can name them on your SDCard.
Just do it like this: BDEARS-20110605-1956-mik_101_full
Notice, no spaces, and the original name still in there.

You can do that and restore them like that or do you have to delete the name first cause that would be awesome I thought it wouldn't work if you renamed it.
Also can you use any name or does it have to be the name of the ROM it is of?

You can restore it like that.
I'm pretty sure - and _ are the only acceptable non text characters in the name

Okay so i have a question about switch from clockworkmod to amonra. How would I go about doing this without rom manager and not using the adb method. Could I flash it through my existing clockwork mod recovery? Or do i HAVE to do it through fastboot?
This is another random question,
Which do you think is better cm6.1 with snap8.x( x being whatever version)
or cm6 with snap7.6BFS?
I don't know about fastboot, but I tried to flashing it through clockworkmod recovery and it's not working..

Bumpppppppp
Flashing through recovery? I don't think that could be done. You can only do ADB, ROM Manager, Fastboot, or flashing as a PC36IMG.zip in hboot.
As for the kernels, stick with stock on CM 6.1. Snap 8 was designed for CM6, as was Snap 7. Besides, CM 6.1 nightly (and I think RC2) is running the .35 kernel, which is what Snap 9 will be based off of.
Okay thanks I get it now.
i am trying to find the amonra recovery, so i can partition my sd card.. can someone point me in the right direction? maybe some quick notes on how to flash it?
Do a search for the Amon Ra PC36IMG.zip in the dev section, put it on the root of your SDCard, boot into Hboot (vol-down & Power button).
Wait for the scan to fond the file and when it asks if you want to update, do yes, and it will flash Amon Ra onto your Phone, then you cna boot up into recovery.
Prett yeasy actually.
just make sure the file is named EXACTLY PC36IMG.zip

Yes, you should always remove pc36img files after installing them. That way you don't run into any complications later if you try to use another file of the same sort, such as a splash screen or something.

Tell ya what I do;
I have a folder on my SDCard I named XDA, and then I have subfolders for ROMS, Kernels, Themes, Apps, and Utilities. I'd rename the Amon Ra file PC36IMG_amon ra.zip and move it into a folder on your SDCard so you always have it relatively handy, then you just drop the amon_ra part and move it to your root again, if you need it.
I have the same thing with the RUU for my phone

I never thought of that, great idea. I think I'll try doing that. I kind of do the same with my splash screens. I'll have a few on my phone at one time and once I install, I'll rename it with a description as to what it is so I don't forget. I also do the same with my boot animations, at least the ones that aren't flashable. I just never thought about making a folder. Now I can't wait to get home and re-organize my card.

You can remove it or just rename it, cuz if its named PC36IMG, it'll scan and be detected every time you go to the bootloader, so its your preference.

good idea but, that will take up some space on your sd card, depending on how many roms you have on there, including themes, splash screens, recoveries, radios, so on and so forth, what i did is the same thing but on my pc, i have plenty of storage on my pc, and that way keep room on my sd card for music, pictures, videos, and whatever else. so if i need any roms or recoveries, splashes, bootanimations, themes, or whatever, they are on my pc, all catagorized and in corresponding folders.
and also if you dont have the room on your pc, it is posted here and able to find with search key. lol
This is probably a real dumb question, but just to be sure I figured I'd ask...
I am using the Amon Ra recovery.. ..however, I first started w/ Clockwork after rooting.. ..can I safely delete "clockworkmod" directory from my phone? I guess I'm asking because I don't see an AmonRa directory and just wanted to make sure my new recovery wasn't just leeching whatever it needed from my Clockwork directory.
Actually.. ..while I'm in this line of questioning.. ..what exactly is either one of these programs for? Just an interface to flash ROMs and other mods from?
I want to know this also because I'm done with CWM.

Yes you can delete it as long as you don't want the backups from it anymore ra backups will be in a new folder called nandriod .

Also your backups from cwm won't work on ra you can restore them on cwm then switch to ra and make a new one from there just go back and fourth till you have them all on ra this is what I did when I switched way back when.

They are recoveries. They do just that, allow for recovery. A safe place to mess with your Operating System (aka "ROM") without the actual O.S. running.
Mainly used for making backups, wiping, and flashing new ROMs. A nice front end to doing these things, instead of having to use the command line and having to type everything out.
Just wonderin, when I flash a zip file from the SD, like for a font or app or somethig,... is there a reason to keep the zip file on my SD card or can I delete it and still use the font/whatever I installed off of it??.. Prolly a stupid question but I figure someone here can answer it pretty easily, thanks

Once it's flashed, you can delete it with no ill effects.

Agreed. Feel free to get rid of it. In the case of roms, though I usually leave a known good PC136IMG.ZIP on the root of my card, just in case.
This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
Yeah, I was thinkin it might be a good idea to leave a kernel and ROM on there JIC... But there's a lot of font packs and app zips I can get rid of... thanks
Are you using a custom recovery? That is, Clockwork or Amon RA.
This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
Yeah, I use Amon Ra for backups.... Sometimes I switch back to clockwork so I can use ROM manager though..

I believe you have to flash whichever one you wish to use.

It's easy if you have ROM manager just go in and click "flash Alternative Recovery".. that will change you to Amon ra... then when you're ready to go back go back into ROM manager and click "Flash lastest ClockWork Mod" (or something like that) and you're back to clockwork.... takes all of about 2 secs
Is there a safe way to rename the backups we make in CWM ? It currently labels them as "2011-05-22.17.55.36" depending on date/time .... I wanna be able to rename it so I know what is actually on that particular backup ; such as "SRF-1.1.1" "UrbanFury" , etc. When I renamed them before and then tried to restore , it wouldn't work. Anyone find a solution to this ?
use rom manager to rename, or just rename the directory in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/

the directory name doesnt matter at all... just dont leave any space, you may need to regenerate nandroid.md5 i dont know.. but if so its easy enough
in a shell goto your new backup directory
Code:
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
BTW i have a script to make and restore nandroid backups.. not using the builtin cwm functions, useful for installs and i guess maybe your situation of naming it whatever you want..
If you back it up in CWM and then boot up and open Rom Manager you can click manage, hold down the backup you want to edit and choose rename. It works just fine, this is how I keep track of my backups.

Ok so I'm new to androids completly. Was looking to root my new phone. Let me start off by saying I'm in Japan and have the HTC Evo 4G. I was attempting to use unrevoked but seem to be stuck at how to get to the hboot. I just updated to 2.3.4 and when I power off my phone then hit volume down and power button to gain access to hboot it simply turns the phone back on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Head over the the revolutionary.io site, you should be good to go. You have to use that method to root for gingerbread on the evo.
Check this thread for rooting.

And turn off fast boot in settings/applications and then try to boot into hboot I think thats where it is I'm not sure I haven't been on sense in a while I'm not even sure if a stock ROM has it but look there to boot into hboot.

the recovery should be a PC36IMG.zip you flash that in hboot just make sure its on the root of your sdcard not in any folders then when you go to hboot it will find the update just except it.
The su apk should be a flashable zip just boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache then go to flash zip and choose that zip and flash it then reboot.
If this is your first time in recovery before you do anything make a nandroid backup this will backup everything in case anything goes wrong you can restore the backup and your phone will be just the way it was when you made the backup.

What happens is when you flash a rom, its a whole new phone basically [os] so it comes packaged with its own apps, themes. What you can do is:
- go into recovery, backup your current rom
- restore your initial backup
- use / download es file explorer [free] from the market
- enable su permissions, then navigate to /system/app and copy it to your sd card
- go back to recovery, restore the synergy backup
- once booted, install the app from the sd card
or if it was backed up, open titanium backup, restore the app and data.
