http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026 heres the recovery that everyone here will recommend so make sure you get this recovery before you start flashing a rom to minimize any problems that might occur just download the PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sd card and then turn off the phone hold the power button and volume down phone will turn to a white screen that says revolutionary it will scan for the file and ask if you want to update accept and you will have amon ra recovery. DO THIS AFTER YOU ROOT YOUR PHONE AND AND YOUR S-OFF do all this then you can start flashing with the greatest recovery and make sure to backup wimax!!!!!!

I have no idea how to flash it as well....Any ideas?

Instead of using Amon Ra 2.3, try using Amon Ra 3.08. The capacative buttons are fully functional and there are a lot more features. I'm on my Evo 4G so I can't give any specific links but just search "Amon Ra style recovery".

[Q] noob question, please help

new rooter here, quick question. I just rooted 2.1 with the stock 2.2 froyo rom using amon_RA'S recovery. now i want to take off amon_ra's recovery and put clockworkmod's recovery so i could use rom manager. question is, how do i go about doing that? please if u could give exact directions because like i said i'm really new to this. any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks 4 ur help!
I believe there is a guide to all this. You should check it and see if that could help answer your question(s). Best of luck
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
not sure, but worth a try
i think you can just download rom manager and hit "flash clockworkmod recovery" at the top. tell me if this works.
Do I have to wipe first?

Nope. Just download rom manager and there is an option to flash clockwork mod as your recovery. That's what I did. No need to wipe or anything, it does it instantly from the app.

I'm using Fresh 3.1.0.1 (haven't updated to .2 yet) with Netarchy's kernel.
Everything requiring root works, 54 fps works, as does all the normal stuff (camera, etc), but with all of the Sprint junk removed. Simple but exactly what I wanted.

Close please.

Issue has been resolved
No longer needed
If you want to keep your apps download and run titanium backup. Do a full wipe and clear cache. Install your Rom and afterwards reload titanium backup and install your missing apps. I am running virus sense 4.2 and it runs great. You Shouldnt have any trouble.
Edit...
I do not use Rom manager because I prefer psfmod recovery.
Are you fully rooted with s off on the boot loader?
Before flashing any Rom make a nanroid just incase something goes wrong
PhantomHacker said:
I am considering flashing to virus Rom. I have a few questions first though.
I rooted with unrevoked, will I be fine?
When I flash will my apps be there if I saved them to the SD card?
Is Rom manager good to use?
Is there anything else I should know before I root.
Thanks in advance

So you are or are not rooted first you said you rooted with unrevoked then at last you ask if there is anything else you need to know before root. Moving on if you are rooted go to the market and download titanium backup use the batch option to save all your apps then after you flash new room use batch to restore all apps I'd you are not rooted you will lose your apps there are apps in the market like app monster that let you back up apps but you will lose your link to the market. Unrevoked will be fine that's whati used as long as its compatible with your phone if already rooted your good. Room manager is good if you use clockwork recovery. Its only compatible with clockwork. You should look up his to back up rsa keys very important if you want 4g. Always backup your phone before you do ANY Mods this will save you allot of heart ach. And last try not to offer money this can be bad In the end but up to you and I don't want any just want to help

As long as you do not flash a the wimax radio you should never worry about this. But you should back it up just incase.

I would start by redownloading the rom and reflash you might have a bad download.

If you flashed recharged final there is a zip file you can flash to lower the overclocking to 1.1GHz. See I'd that helps

Do you have a sdcard reader to put in your computer?
If so do that and put that zip on it then flash it that should get the rom to boot.

Amon Ra

Can I flash Among Ra when I root with Revolutionary instead CWM? Bootloader? Or do I need to use flash alternate recovery in ROM manager after root?
Sent from my Classic Tomatoefied PC36100 using xda premium
Grab a PC36IMG of Amon Ra from the thread in development. Be sure that it's named PC36IMG.zip exactly - don't add the zip if you don't see it. Put it on the root of your SD card, boot into hboot, accept the update. Decline to reboot if you want to go ahead and go into recovery.
Or you can download the properly named PC36IMG of Amon Ra here.

When it says flash CWM during the root process should I say no and flash this in bootloader right after?

Yeah, no reason to flash CWM if you're just going to flash Amon Ra when you're done.

Ok, I think I got it. Sorry kinda new to this. If I don't flash a recovery and boot my phone I will still be able to boot into bootloader to flash Amon, yes?

Yes, because you don't flash the recovery in the recovery menu, you do it from the bootloader, to get a recovery.

Well I don't know where exactly, but you should be able to. Using root explorer or es file manager, ect, should let you see it for sure. i can't say exactly where, as I'm unpartitioned.
Yea, not sure where either. I'll post it as a separate question. Thanks very much for the help.
