I got my EVO yesterday and came with 2.2 and i rooted thru Unrevoked 3.2... (simplest root ive done)
I just want to know if there would be any problem flashing roms or anything. I got the latest clockwork recovery installed.
Thanks

Should have no problems as long as your s-off. Also I do recommend getting rid of clockworkmod recovery and getting amon ra(supersonic ra). Clockworkmod is know to cause problems and some roms are not compatible with it

Quick instructions:
-Download and move to root of SD card
-Rename to PC36IMG.zip
-Flash thru Bootloader
-You're home FREE!!
Thank you, appreciate it will switch soon.

Hello guys. I got a question. I rooted my phone a while ago and since I flashed to Myn's RL5 rom (which is the best rom I used anyway), I can't seem to do a nandroid backup and can't boot into recovery. Just wondering if I'm missing something or should I try to unroot and get another evo?
Thanks in advance.

Use rom manager off the market and flash one of the recoveries then try to boot into recovery and see what happens

what root method did you use? Did you flash a recovery during root?
At first, I was using the Clockwork mod recovery and that didn't work. But when I used the RA recovery everything worked out fine. Thank s

Amon RA is the best...backs up WiMax, which is more than RSA keys. Highly recommend to any rooted EVO
So guys I need to your opinion i root my beautiful evo whit unrevoked3 and after I rooted I got Rom manager from the app store and I download the clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 but I been having some problems for example when I tried to put a Rom or a karnel (not always) I got a mssg saying that the action was aborted but 2day I say in the Rom manager that I can flash ra recovery v2.2.2 so here is my question should I put the ra recovery v2.2.2 or I should leave the clockworkmod and thnx in advanced &*)

You can have either or. if you're on clockwork 3.0+ you can't flash files that aren't edify compatible, on amon_ra you don't really have to worry about it. And if you do so, use the latest version, which is attached.
Can u tell me how flash that plz

I'm in agreement with the roxxorz. Use amon RA v2.3 and familiarize yourself with its menus. I recommend that you not use ROM manager because it is far too easy to to flash a Rom, kernel, mod or recovery from within the recovery itself. Furthermore, you have more control over the process....

Place the on the root of your sdcard, then boot into the bootloader, wait, then apply the update, reboot, then reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3. Then make a backup immediately, because you can't restore clockwork backups.

Put the file on the root of your SD CARD then shutdown your device. While holding the down volume button, press the power button. You will enter the bootloader menu. A few lines of text will scroll on the screen and then the bootloader will automatically detect the PC36IMG.ZIP file and prompt you to install it. Follow the prompts to install. The installation takes less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot.

He's saying you should be comfortable flashing from recovery because you can't flash everything, like a kernel, from rom manager.

I have a rooted EVO running the AVA-FROYOZ3 ROM. I has to has Clockwork Version 2.5.0.7 to install this Rom because it wouldn't work with the newer version. I am going to install the OMGB Stock Gingerbread ROM. Do I have to update to clockwork 3.0.0.5 before I flash the Rom?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I would recommend the latest cw 3.0 or amon ra 2.3. Preferably amon ra 2.3 imo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
The bootloader method would be the easiest to flash amon ra but if you do kiss rom manager good bye (if you use it).
So if I want clockwork 3.0 I can just flash it through ROM Manager and it won't mess up my current Rom?

Correct, and it shouldn't break or mess up anything.

I doubt it, however and as has already been suggested, you really should consider switching to amon-RA v2.3. I don't know of a rom yet that can't be flashed with it and when you run into trouble, more than likely, you will need amon-RA to get you out of it. At least that has been my experience.

Yea I switched to Amon-RA and all went fine. Thanks guys. Quick question. Can I restore the nandroid backups I made through Clockwork with Amon -RA?

Negative lol. Any you made with cw can't be used with amon ra and vice versa.

Just S-OFF'd and rooted my wife's Inc2. Does anyone know if it is ok to use ROM Manager to flash Clockwork Recovery after using the Revolutionary tool to install their custom Clockwork Recovery? The reason I want to is because ROM Manager doesn't seem to recognize the Revolutionary CW Recovery that their tool installs.
Does it work? Will it ruin recovery? What's the story?
Revolutionary doesnt push SU unless they updated it to. And you need root to flash recovery with rom manager. If you cant get recovery installed with revolutionary, youll have to install it with fastboot.

I used rom manager to flash CWM after flashing a different CWM. Everything is all good

Thanks Times,
I used their tool which (after S-OFF) pushes a custom clockwork recovery which I then used that to flash SU onto it. But now I was wondering if it was ok to use ROM Manager to push a clockwork recovery that it could recognize. But it looks like Beenz was able to with success, just looking to see what others have done or know.
Thanks!
I also have the CWM installed by Revolutionary. In ROM Manager, go to menu --> manual flash override. I've been using it with no problems without having to reflash CWM. The only drawback is that every time ROM Manager starts up, it tells me that there is an newer version of CWM available. Not the end of the world.
So reflash or don't, works either way.
Thanks xenakis.

So I have rooted my incredible before but because of the new ota being pushed out soon, I ruu'd back to stock everything, BUT I still have S-OFF. My idea was that I would be able to download the ota and get it up and running, then I I have the clockwork recovery as a PB31IMG.zip file on my SD card. After the ota could I just flash the clockwork recovery through HBOOT, then superuser through recovery and be rooted?! Please let me know!

Probably but why do that when there are rooted roms that are literally the ota minus the radio plus root and deodexed. It's much safer and no risk of losing root.
