Yesterday I flashed the ENG build and then Eugenes new 2.2. Then I update the radio to 7.8. Now if I boot into recovery it does not do anything. I press a button and the screen goes black, press the on/off button and clockwork recovery comes back on. I tried deleting update.zip from the SD card and re-downloading through ROM manager but going back into recovery had the same results.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

It's so stupidly simple you will proceed to kick yourself (I know, because I did the same thing):
You use to trackpad to navigate and click now, not the volume/power buttons.
hahahahahaha
oh man...ok im gonna go write my name on the wall of shame..Thanks a lot man

What's the difference between cm and among RA. Do i need to update my cm to among RA. Or i am ok.

You need CWM recovery to use rom manager. CWM 3.0+ doesn't allow you to flash amend scripted packages which a lot of people still use. Amon ra lets you backup particular partitions of your choice, and if you use the modified amon ra, you can also restore CWM backups and other features. Your choice really.
Yep, I would recommend the latest modified version of amon ra. No troubles here

Just downloaded the attached file to the root of your SD card, rename it to "PC36IMG", then boot into the bootloader by powering down, then powering back up, only this time holding the power button and the volume down button. It should recognize the file and install the recovery.

Installing another recovery will automatically overwrite the existing recovery.

Simply boot into your recovery partition and check. If you're on a stock ROM, download the app "Quick Boot". Once inside the app, simply tap "Recovery" and your Evo should boot into your recovery.
All the other custom ROMs I know of have a "reboot into recovery" feature. Simply long-press the power button, then select reboot. A dialogue box should appear; Tap "Recovery" and reboot.
Hello everyone,
I had Clockwork Mod 3.0.0.2 and I couldn't see any menu items past the main screen in CWM.
Every time I select 'Install ZIP from sd card' or 'wipe data / factory reset' I get to a blank screen.
I found a .zip for the new CWM, 5.0.2.0, and just flashed that successfully but the problem didn't go away.
I think this is a screen driver issue? I'm not sure. Any ideas?
EDIT: If I run 'Factory Reset' from the HBOOT menu I get 'E: Invalid command argument'. This is the same error in both 3.0.0.2 and 5.0.2.0 CWM.
Have you tried flashing ClockworkMod from the app from the Android Market?

I'm using the power button...
Why do I get the feeling I should be using the joystick instead?
It's been ages since I've used my incredible. It's rebooting now, I'll give it a shot in a second.

I'm an idiot. Using the joystick now, everything works fine. I'm used to newer phones where power selects an item from the list and the volume keys are used to select.
Thanks for the help!
Downloaded mikfroyo v4.5, wiped, flashed nothing. Ok tried it again, would get stuck. It will do a full boot, let me run some things, then all of a sudden reboot again, so my bf who is the genius, cant even figure it out.
Working on cwm 5.0.2.2

reboot recovery, factory reset, cache, dalvik (sometimes my bf tells me to do battery stats, boot, and of course cache) then i install the zip from my sd, let it do its thing, then reboot. works fine everytime. Im on CWM 5.0.2.2, but i never see any of the devs say "Hey you have to be on (whatever) for this to work properly.
PS your gonna be a life saver
HAHAHAHA I meant "(whatever)" to be CWM
Whats some stuff you look for in the zip? Teach me teacher....lol

Only thing I can think of is your not using amon ra. CWM is known to not wipe correctly and can lead to problems
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
this is what someone else told me to do, (i copied and pasted it) think hes right?
"Ok. I suggest using Rom manager to switch to amon ra recovery. Once you've done that, do a complete wipe ... Including cache, dalvik, boot, data, and system. Flash Rom. Allow 5 mins after initially screens before downloading apps and making changes. This allows the Rom to settle. After you've done that, you can move on with your setup. I would suggest staying away from Rom Manager, you won't need it.
MikG is the replacement to MikFroyo. I've never heard of a MikFroyo 5.x"

Well then fml. I trust your judgement, ive seen your posts etc...now i have a stupid question, wtf is amon ra? I looked on the market. Found 4. Which one is it, and then what should i do from there? Follow this dudes instructions?
Rom manager to switch to ra is right. But I prefer to do it manually. But the letting the rom 'settle' is dumb IMHO roms shouldnt have to settle only kernels do

got ya covered, let you know what happens.!! thank you so much!!!!!
Flash amon_RA style supersonic recovery v3.08 found in Dev section thru hboot, vol- and power while phone is off, first download the one with PC36IMG.zip in the name move it to the root of your SD card delete all of the name except PC36IMG.zip make sure there no extra .zip extension now boot to hboot(bootloader) by either powering off the phone or a battery pull the hold vol- and press and hold the power button holding both until the white hboot screen opens. Follow instructions to update recovery (volume up) then don't reboot when asked (volume down) now select recovery and press power to boot into recovery. Go to wipe and wipe everything from factory reset/data wipe all the way down to dalvik-cache, repeat atleast 3 times for each option then hit the back capacitive key to return to main menu (search key/magnifying glass works as the power button does) go to flash zip, navigate to your rom zip and select it, press the search key and then press it again to start the update, when finished updating press back button, go to reboot and press the search key wait til the rom boots, should now work without issue as long as your download is ok, if you are backing up apps in titanium backup restore the app only and no data restoring data can cause bootloops/random reboots after the app restore

My volume up button is broken on my sister's phone so and I was wondering if there was a touch recovery for flashing new ROMs on her phone. Is there anything out there like that for the EVO?
Use smelkus mod recovery 4.3
Best one out there. Use the bottom buttons of the phone to navigate thru it
I believe the Team Win Recovery Project has touch screen support

Cwm touch is also available. I don't really care for it personally. I like amon ra best but in your case, cwm touch will work ok for you
