when i rooted my evo about a week ago i followed instructions to the t for the ENERGY sense rom. i use revolution-0.4 i think that included clockwork mod for the custom recovery. i was thinking of switching to amon ra recovery. can i jsut download and flash it or will that cause problems? if so what do i need to do prior to switching recovery tools?
All you need to do to switch recoveries is download Amon Ra. Rename it to PC36IMG.zip. Then put it on the root of your sdcard. Boot into bootloader and it will ask you to update, press volume up for "yes" and bam your done. Then delete the PC36IMG.zip. (if it doesn't ask you to update when you boot into the bootloader, start your phone back up and remove the ".zip" from the recovery you renamed.

Remember that if you have any backups with your current recovery,theres a chance the new one will not be able to verify the MD5SUM and restore your current backups.

Hey guys, need help going back to Amon Ra from Clockworkmod. Any help will be appreciated.. Thanks
Install ROM Manager and use it to flash Amon RA, it should be at the bottom of the main screen. You may have to let it reflash CWM first, but it goes back and forth easily.

Easy way? Install RomManager there's a option to flash an alternative recovery (Amon')

Nand back up with Amon_ra restore with Amon_ra
Nand back up with Clockworkmod restore with Clockworkmod
Got the picture?
do I have to do that on adb or rom manager ?
You can do it either way

I think you are confused,if you do a nand back up using rom manager,then you need to restore it with clockworkmod (via recovery or rom manager) but you can not resore nor back up with Amon_ra using rom manager.
I used to have the Amon Ra recovery then tried the clockworkmod recovery. I want my nand backup from the amon ra but I can't restore it via clockworkmod.

Copy the /sdcard/nandroid/ folder to /sdcard/clockworkmod/nandroid (not 100% sure on the second path, I'll be able to tell you later tonight when I flash the nightly).
Voila, now you have your AR backups, in CWM.
So, if I understand.
I have Amon Ra and want to dl Rom Manager/Premium and flash CW Mod. I will then have a usable option at bottom to toggle between Ra and CW. Restore backups thru whichever one I used to back it up.
But, when I flash back to Amon Ra, I need to close out of Rom Manager and use Amon Ra as I have been doing.
drmacinyasha, I like your idea, but not sure I know how to do that safely. I am not good at ADB or Root Explorer if that is an option. Or do you just mount and do it on the pc?

Oops,
Guess the first part of my question was answered on page 1. These Looong threads are hard to keep up with.
I have been using the stock recovery since the begining and I keep seeing posts about Ra and Clockwork. I know what they are but why are they better then the stock recovery? Not curious as to which should I use just curious why everyone is using them when my stock recovery has done all thats asked of it thus far.
Never used stock recovery so I don't know what capabilities it has. As for Amon Ra, in addition to flashing custom roms and mods, you can mount your SD card to your computer, partition your SD card, wipe all data and do entire system backups.

I'm pretty sure you can do all of that with Clockwork as well. Or at least with ADB.
Is clockwork the stock recovery then?

if I understand you correctly, it depends how you rooted. For example, if you flashed recovery through Simpleroot OTA, then it flashed clockwork. If you install Rom Manager, it also uses clockwork, but has the option to flash AR instead (although a lot of the functionality of rom manager will be gone)
To calrify, the HTC "STOCK" recovery is unuseable to users like us. It is locked. This is why we root users need a custom recovery image such as Clockwork or Amon_RA. There is a custom one that you get automatically when you root with Toast's method (I think) but now SimpleRoot lets you flash Clockwork or Amon_RA on the 2nd button press of rooting...

Oh, here we go again.
I think I rooted the toast way? I wrote in the command lines and followed the 1st, 2nd and nand unlock method. I didnt load any recovery, what recovery is that? I am guessing its clockwork?
I've been running Baked Snack for a while now. Recently my phone started shutting off for no apparent reason. Long story short, I have a nandroid backup stored. I made it with RA recovery. I decided to try some other ROM's and I had to flash Clockwork Recovery to add them through CM. When another one started shutting down on me, I decided to go back to my nandroid. Problem is it won't read it on Clockwork. It's there, but it won't restore. I can't get the phone to stay on for more than a second or two without rebooting right now so I can't get RA recovery back on the phone. I can get to recovery but I can't get Clockwork to read my nandroid backup that I made with RA recovery.
Is there anything I can do?
just flash a new rom and call it a day
use fast boot,]change back to RA recove, and flash NAND back.
But it its not a horrible loss to just flash another rom. May I suggest Frost rom, as someone who came from BS to Frost, I think you may enjoy it. I base that off of nothing but those two factors.
you do realize this is not where you ask questions right?

Just flash myn's 2.2 rls3, it will fix your bootloops, and if you don't have 4g in your area it will enable it.

I imagine the easiest thing to do would be to use an RUU to reflash the whole thing. Then you can put RA Recovery back on and use your Nandroid to restore your system. I've already had to do that once, but I'm a total Android n00b.
mmmmm bootloops, yummy!
do a wipe/factory reset in clockwork, that will fix ur phone
its fixed my bootloops more than I feel comfortable admitting

If you really want to go back to your old backup, then here's the easy way to get your RA back.... rename this to PC36IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD Card and boot into bootloader mode.
AmonRa Recovery via PC36IMG.zip

Guys I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this. I didn't know.
I can't flash a new ROM. I can't get the phone to stay on long enough to do anything with it. I've tried wiping everything. I actually flashed the only ROM on my sdcard - Baked 1.8. It boots and stays on for a second and then crashes again. How to I get another ROM on my SD card. The only place I can get the phone to stay on is in recovery.
Alright, after letting it sit off for about an hour I can get it to stay on long enough to do work.
Sorry for posting in wrong place. Mods please move or remove.
Oh boy... still shutting down. I think my phone is fkd.
I was able to - after flashing BS 1.8 and clean wipe - download and install CM. I'm going to let the phone sit another hour and then hope to get on long enough to flash a new ROM. I don't have much hope though. The one I originally was switching to was Cyan 6.0 and it was shutting down a second after booting. I think it's my phone.
Ok so I've been using clockwork since I rooted but now I want to switch to Amon Ra cause I hear its better. The recovery works because I can back up and flash stuff, but for some reason I can't restore, it always says something went wrong, check the recovery log. Is it because I rename the backups?

It could be. If you rename a backup, it cannot have any spaces in the name, or any odd characters. I suggest renaming it to something simple, with no punctuation, and no spaces. Try that, and see if it'll restore.
didnt work :/
you arent trying to recover CWM backups with RA are you?
No, these are backups done through Amon Ra

What options did you select when creating the backup? You may want to try re flashing your recovery, and see if it works after that. Sometimes reflashing the recovery can clear up a bunch of odd recovery related issues.

For one of them I backed up all of it (clicked every check) and for another I only backed up the original 3 it selects for you; neither of them worked... Ok I'll try that
When you make a backup using amon RA, the name of the nandroid appears as such: BDAS-20110509-0440. The prefix tells you what was backed up. For instance, the BDAS in the above example tells me that I made a backup of the boot, data, android.secure and system. Because I flash a lot of roms, I rename my backups in this manner: BDAS-SALVAGEMOD-0440. If you don't add any special characters, your backup should restore if you've renamed it. If your renamed backup is similar to mine and it still fails to restore then I recommend that you re-flash amon RA as suggested by my good friend k2buckley. Specifically, v2.3. You can download it from the link below.

Alright thanks a lot guys it worked when I re-flashed the recovery through bootloader. For some reason, ROM manager isn't flashing recoveries for me anymore.

Some users have had issues with rom manager "not flashing correct," but I've never had a problem with it. Glad its working though.
I was on the energy rom (12/25/2011) and went into recovery and tried to restore one of my backups and was getting the md5 mismatch error. Then i tried using amon recovery instead of clockwork and still didnt succeed. Then I went into terminal emulator and did a fix for md5 error and tried to flash again after wiping and now im stuck on white boot screen. No matter which backup i try to use. Please help!!!! Thx
your best bet is to probably use Amon Ra to wipe everything (Except SD Cardthen reflash your rom
how do i get back on amon if i can only get into clockwork? Last time i was amon i went through rom manager and flashed it that way.
Don't use ROM Manager. I have a detailed explanation and a link to the file you need in my guide. Click the link in my signature

OK, it's Clockwork, not clockworks, Amon, not Amons and clockwork does NOT wipe properly.

Ok, so I was able to flash amon from your link (thx) and now I can't flash my backups. Am I supposed to download another stock rom and start from fresh again or will I be able to still use my backups that I made on clockwork?
Dude your backups are done. You couldn't flash them before, either.
You should delete your backups, flash the stock/Rooted ROM, and make a Nandroid of that, then do the wipe process again, and flash the custom ROM you want.
