Not able to access recovery after netarchy-toastmod Kernal

So I have the "HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed" Rom, and the new Toastmod Kernal 4.0.3 which works great except now I can't get into clockwork recovery.
Before I added the kernal I had the rom stated above and recovery worked fine. Now when I go to bootloader with the new kernal, and click recovery, my evo just reboots the bootloader.
Any suggestions?

I would try and flash Amon Ra. I think it has to be flashed from bootloader as a pc36.img, but I'm not positive.

Use Amon RA recovery. Clockwork sucks. There should be a link somewhere in the development forums. Just do a search for Amon RA.

Link is in my sig. Also, you can flash recovery with fastboot flash.

Thanks guys, I'm giving this a shot right now.

So the RA Recovery is on the root of the SD, but when I go into Fastboot or bootloader, I dont have an option to flash it. The only way I know how to flash is in recovery. However when I select recovery it just reboots the phone into hboot again.....
Guess I need a little more instruction, sorry.

You have to run fastboot on your PC after you go to fastboot on your phone, it is in the same place as ADB.

Ok, appreciate it. I'll have to read up on it.

Could I flash the stock kernal from the "Rom Manager" app, or would that not work?

Oh Boy...Huge Error...Help Requested

Okay. I've search around and haven't found anything yet.
I recently got a new evo and rooted with the Unrevoked 3.0 beta RC2 yesterday. All was going well until I tried to upgrade to the CM 6.1.2 this morning. Google apps wasn't installed so I flashed the zip which put me in to a boot loop with Clockwork.
It was giving me an error when I tried to restore the backup. I tried to flash pc36img.zip and now whenever I go into recovery I am in RA-evo-v1.8 which I am unfamiliar with. I've tried installing other ROMs via this recovery but the prcess is aborted each time.
Any help would be more than appreciated. I am literally stuck.

Need any and all information about your phone. I also notice that you are new. The dev section isnt for Q/A there is an entire section dedicated to solving these issues. Please remember that next time. Keeps things cleaner. So please gather anything you can about your phone. Method, Hboot, Version, Radio, Anything that can help anyone here identify something.

Do you have the rom in the root of the usb card? If so try full data wipe and installing the room see if it boots up.

Thanks for the quick reply. Will remember. Desperation has gotten the better of me. I will move over to Q/A if you prefer.
HBOOT-2.10 0001
RADIO - 2.15
Initially rooted via Unrevoked 3 beta RC2 yesterday.

if your able to boot up into a rom download Rom manager and select flash clockworkMod recovery or flash alternate recovery thats prob gonna be the easiest fastest fix (considering it works)

I agree with this method... the best way to determine the recovery to use would be to go into the terminal and type
Code:
cat /proc/mtd
if you see "400000" then you need to get the clockwork v3.0.0.2 that supports this phone partion layout. If you see "20000" then you should get amon_ra 1,8 from here:

The information I gathered was from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894331
Making sure you have the correct recovery is the first step. Once that is done create a nandroid and save it somewhere to ensure that the wimax partition is saved.

You have to flash the modified version of Amon_ra found in Zikronix thread. You can find my thread that points to it or just search for hboot 2.10 and follow the instructions in that rooting thread. It seems you're already rooted so just flashing the recovery is probably all you will need.

I haven't used unrevoked, and I know there are several versions. But I have seen others who have used unrevoked and couldn't flash anything bc evidently the method they used to root didn't install the flash_image file on their phone.
I know that installing flash_image fixed being able to flash for some people who rooted with unrevoked.
This issue came up and I was able to help some people, if you check near the end of fastRX8 thread. But I was only able help point the right direction, they figured out the rest of the way. The OP there has the flash_image file and tells you what terminal commands to install it.
I don't know how for you to check if you gave it or not, as I can see mine on sd card cuz I put it there when I rooted.
Beyond this suggestion, lithid can probably help much better than I.
But def post your hardware version, root method, and hboot version (you see that when you go into bootloader and read the top line.

Was there a resolution for your problem? If so please post so anyone searching in the future can resolve there problem quickly.

you should flash the pc36img.zip located at the bottom of zikronix's root thread. good luck. just put it on the root of ur sdcard named as pc36img.zip and boot into bootloader. accept the update, and say no to the reboot. then pick recovery, and flash a rom. you need to stay with this recovery if it works for you.

FIX BROKEN RECOVERY
This is really only needed if you rooted with one of the previos guides version 6 or lower or if you installed a different recovery like I told you not to.
1) Download File PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.
copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone
2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.
3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE

OP flash the PC36IMG in the bootloader to load this new recovery, then you can go into your new recovery and flash a new rom.

i just rooted my evo with the unrevoked beta.hboot 2.02 it installed clockwork and through that i switchted to the aman ra after that i did a nand backup, powered off my phone and when i turned it back on it was stuck in the bootloader loop. the only thing that eventually worked was installing the sprintlovers pc36img. that got my phone working again. just tried to nand backup again and the same thing happened. does this mean that i need to flash that broken recovery?

Were you restoring a backup or did you stuck on loop on a new rom flash?

i wasnt even trying to flash a rom yet. i was doing the very first nand backup so i could check some roms out. after the backup was complete it gave the option to power off so i did and when i turned my phone back on it was in the bootloader loop. so i went back to recovery, wiped everything, restored nand and i said it restored but when i rebooted it was back in the bootloader loop.so i just search around trying to get help but couldnt find much so i put sprintlovers since it boots up right when you turn your phone on. now it wouldnt even nand backup it said some error and was in the bootloader loop again so i just reinstalled sprintlovers, again

Try downloading an actual rom in zip format (not sprintlovers pc36img) and see if you can flash a new rom fresh. Make sure to wipe everything.
Try using Caulkings format all zip in recovery to wipe your caches.

What was the PC36IMG & why did you need it? You need to download a PC36IMG.zip of Amon Ra or CWM. Don't rename, update in the bootloader.

This confuses me a bit. You somehow ended up with a PC36IMG on your sd card that you had no idea what it was, then it asked you to update, and you said yes, not even knowing what it was? Is that accurate? Does your bootloader still show S off? If you flashed a PC36IMG of a factory ROM you may be S on and unrooted, so check that first. If you're still s off, and you can boot into the OS, then the easiest way for you to get Clockwork back would be to download ROM manager, and use that to flash clockwork. Just select 'flash clockwork mod recovery'. If you did in fact run a PC36IMG of the factory rom, you'll most likely need to install the Super User app again in order for ROM manager to work.
I'm very curious of what the heck you flashed, and how you didn't know what it was, lol. A little more info would be great. Are you still on the same ROM you were before you flashed it? What were the results of flashing the PC36IMG? Can you boot up?

Same thing happened to me a few days ago. Nothing is briked. Some how. After a few reeboots all came back to normal.

I fixed it, but now I am trying to get back my original backup and everythime I try it says:
Checking MD5 sums…
Erasing boot before restore…
Restoring boot image…
Error while flashing boot image!
I think my HBOOT isnt the write version but im not sure.

[Q] Can't access nandroid to backup

I'm currently using the latest stable CM7 and have gone back and forth from clockworkmod and RA recoveries in the past. I'm about to try another ROM and I'm attempting to nandroid like I normally do in case I have to go back. When I select 'reboot into recovery', I always end up in the bootloader screen (options: bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down) with no nandroid access or options.
Anyone have any ideas as to how I can restore nandroid functionality?

Select the "bootloader" option. Then select recovery from the menu. If you boot to recovery, then awesome. If not, sounds like you may need to reflash the recovery.

Try to reflash your recovery via bootloader. Download this...
Amon ra 2.3
http://db.tt/vqV9Yq7
And put it on the root of your sd card and reboot into boot loader, when asked to update, choose yes, this will reflash amon ra

[Q] Help!!!

I'm trying to go into recovery on my evo from Hboot but the phone always stays on the evo screen but i noticed the s-on on the top of the Hboot screen it use to say s-off but i let a friend install a rom and idk what he did but i can no longer go into recovery please help what can i do?

Reinstall Recovery
If you can't boot into recovery, then you probably need to install one again. I highly recommend Amon Ra 3.07 because it's simple to use and more features added on top of Amon Ra 2.3. However, if you've made any nandroid backups with CWM, then you should look into reinstalling that...

I heard of some app that tells you if you are rooted. Maybe start there. Sounds like you are not rooted anymore. Just root it again.
via EVO.

Yes one thing I left out before you do anything related to root, like installing custom recovery, make sure you are rooted.

yea i checked with root checker basic i am rooted but i have no idea what this douche did to my phone that my security is back on

Also i tried to root my phone again via revoluntionary.io but when it recognizes my phone it says that s-off is already done and to download clockwork mod recovery but when it goes to Hboot it says s-on

If he used unrevoked s-on then try using unrevoked to turn your security s-off. I did the same thing before (turning security back on) and when I used unrevoked it turned it back off.

Sounds like he messed your root up some how. Did you try a nandroid restore?
