Okay I rooted my phone almost a year ago and love it found a rom that i really like but the latest version says its best with Amon-ra wich brings me to my question here is the what i have now..
revolutionary
supersonic EVT3 SHIP S-off
Hboot-6.16.1002
RADIO-2.15.00.0808
Mar 8 2011,
and here is my current recovery if it matters...
Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
And here is my problem i cannot for the life of me get amon-ra on my phone i have tried for weeks and spend countless hours reading and trying to get it work
I do the PC36IMG.zip on my sd when i go into my Hboot it does nothing i mean nothing it dose its little scan and nothing happens everytime i have tired about 30 DL zip of the same file ....lol
Can someone please shine some light on this for me.....Is there something im missing of not doing right.. Or can it even be done...
And I have serched for the answer on more than one forum....
Thanks...
Well the file is the PC36IMG.zip itself; open it up [not extracting] and make sure there isn't another zip or something stupid inside it. Also make sure its on the root [not in any folder] of the sdcard.
Also check if there is an extra unneeded ".zip" at the end. Windows has a setting to hide file extensions. I had this problem for quite a while. If all else fails you can always flash a new recovery using adb.
I may be way off here but can't you switch recovery in cwm app? I'm pretty sure (memory isn't so great) that's what I had to do because I was having the same problem?

You can, but rom manager has been known to not flash the alternate recoveries.
Just throwing this out here....I usually download using my browser of choice from market, over wi fi. Change default DL path to SD card. Using a file manager rename to PC36IMG.zip then power off/ power on using volume and power button. Let it do its thing when rebooted use file manager and rename the PC36IMG.zip to something else. Hope this helps you.

You can download Flash image gui found here on xda or in the market.
After you have that, just download the image of the recovery and use Flash image gui to install.
Flash Image Gui can be found in this thread:

Not to make things harder, lol, but now you should upgrade to Smelkus Supersonic 4.3 recovery
I agree. Using themed smelkus 4.3 myself.
You stay classy EVO...Classic ROM.

Yes, you should most definitely use this recovery.... as the recovery being a fail-safe to the phones we know today, this is by far the most error-proof, compatible recovery for the OG Evo. All others have given me at LEAST an error of some sort, some more than others (cwm I can't even look at as usable/dependable, not to dog on it, just my experience)

Get rom manager from the market and use it to flash Clockworkmod. Then hit reboot into recovery and see if it works.

I just did the alpharev s-off and now I want to flash the latest CWM recovery.
But, where is it? At Koush's website you can only download the .zip file,
not an .img file to permanently flashed to the phone.

The zip doesn't have a .img file in it.
It has a file named recovery, but it doesn't have a file extension.
That's probably it, but I am unsure how to use this.
Also rom manager is not flashing the recovery to my phone.
It will let me go into cwm 2.5.0.7 via the old method.
But if I manually reboot into recovery I still have the same old version of cwm that alpharev installed
v2.5.0.1
i asked this awhile back as well.. and im still looking... Clock will not flash it cause it sees it as 3g slide and only does the update.zip method... and the zip contains what is needed but gotta make it into a img file

How can we make it into an .img?
I could probably figure that out easy enough, but would it work right?
Have you tried just using the update.zip from recovery and seeing if it sticks? I can't seem to dig up an actual image file either, which tells me that maybe there isn't one. More to the point, using the "apply update.zip from SD" option vice the typical select .zip from SD.

There is no way to (permanently) flash clockworkmod without S-OFF.
There is only one way to achieve S-OFF. It's not that complicated. You download an ISO CD image, burn it to CD, follow the instructions on the screen. Just read the S-OFF thread so you know what to do with the timing of hitting the power button on your phone.

NIICE waiting long time for this and works great
This worked for me. My power button quit working so I'm getting a new slide in the mail an had to get the rom I was using off an unroot which was harder than normal since my power button doesn't work. But I followed this an all is good. Thank-you.

I am about to flash the Radio he has in his thread here >>
Standalone Radio PC36IMG (must be flashed through the hBoot/fastboot)
Evo Radio Version 2.15.00.04.08
(MD5 1ECE6F6BC355AFB721BA7264F82DD1E7)
-I downloaded the file using my Evo and it is a ilivid.exe file.
- I renamed it PCM36IMG.zip in Root Explorer
I don't know if the above 2 steps I did are correct, which is why I am asking here.
Do I have to use my pc to achieve the Radio Flash, or can it all be done using my Evo.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
If this has been discussed already, just point the way.
You put the file on ur your evo (you dont need root explorer) and boot into bootloader then in bootloader go to fastboot and then it says start update and click vol up for yes

Don't you need root explorer or similar to rename, and to download zip from?
In addition, the power button submits your choice.
No you dont need root explorer and yes you press power to go to fastboot but one you have the file on your sd card go to fastboot and then it says update and press power up

Thanks everyone for your input.
I downloaded the Radio/WiMax combo but when I went into recovery and chose the .zip file, it said checking radio, but then I got the default bootloader screen again.
I clicked Reboot & Install after the download was complete and nothing. Just get the Rom Manager Home screen.
Will try later again after I figure this out.
Update:
I am in the process of flashing that zip and is in progress.
Will see what happens.
No luck.
I'm done for now. Don't know why I'm having so many issues as compared to flashing Gingerbread??
UPDATE!
SUCCESS FINALLY!!
- I downloaded the File in xHausx thread >>
Firmware:
Must be flashed through hBoot/Fastboot! Not Recovery.
PC36IMG - Radio, WiMAX and PRI Updates (MD5: 2E5C63EA59891A69F6D55C257CF165D5)
- I renamed it PC36IMG.zip using Root Explorer
- I moved PC36IMG.zip to the Root of the SD card using Root Explorer by selecting 'Move', then going to 'sd' then Pasting PC36IMG.zip there
- I used QuickBoot and entered HBoot and FastBoot mode
- PC36IMG.zip was recognized
- I pressed the 'Vol Up' key to acknowledge 'Yes' to continue with PC36IMG.zip (@jadden....Now I know what you meant by ''pressing vol up to start download )
- After Update was completed, I pressed vol up for Yes to Reboot
- Evo started up and I checked the Radio, etc. and SUCCESS!!
One of the issues I had before was that I didn't put the PC36IMG.zip into the Root of my sd card.This is why FastBoot didn't recognize the .zip
After much time spent with having issues, and after reading the help I got here, and Googling, the whole Process of FastBoot took 2 minutes!!
Thanks for everyone's input!
I still don't know why I couldn't use Rom Manager Recovery as suggested regarding the Radio files from Caulkins thread. I must have missed something. Maybe I should have used Recovery in Quick Boot I guess. But a moot point since I was able to use FastBoot regarding the link to the Radio in xHausx thread.............
You guessed it, I dropped the Evo and the Screen shattered!!
After All this Work......UnF'nBelievable!!
I have TEP so I'll have to order another one.
I had my Evo running so nicely.
I'll order it not activated, install Root and Install the Deodexed Gingerbread version as I did prior.
I would love to just have the Glass/Digitizer replaced, But that may be more trouble than it's worth..................
Yeah but if you get it replaced they will give you an evo that has official gingerbread which can't be rooted yet.

Well, That Sucks!
I thought maybe it wouldn't have Gingerbread in it, and I'd have to do an OTA update myself, which I wasn't going to do.
Hopefully there will be a Root available soon........
Btw, if it does come with GB installed, can I install Froyo and then Root?
Update:
I just called Asurion, and they have Evos in stock. Will be shipping out tomorrow, 5/6 Monday.
Since the Official Gingerbread is also being made available tomorrow, and I asked that my replacement Evo Not be activated, it will probably be shipped with Froyo installed. Which would be just the way I like it..................
after you flash it the radio , how do you know it has been flash, what has been changed that you can see and where can i see it to make sure??

I want to change from CM 3.0.0.5 to AMON-RA recovery due to the feedback I've gotten and read but I am not quite sure about what files to use and how exactly to flash them. I visited the mirror site on the RA thread and downloaded "recovery-ra-supersonic-v2.3.img" and "recovery-ra-supersonic-v2.3-pc36000.zip." My questions are do I simply place the "zip" file on the root of the card and boot into bootloader (vol dn+power) and answer yes when it asks to update, and what is the purpose of the ".img" file and what do I do with it (if I even need it)? I know these are noob questions but I am still learning and want to be sure I am doing things the right way. Thanks for the help.

ok never mind i acctually read what you posted and noticed that you already have what you need. so get rid of the .zip you dont need it. the .img and the .zip are 2 different methods and the img method in my opinion is lightyears easier than the zip way.
so here we go
1. put the .img on the root of your sd. (make sure it is named "PC36IMG.zip" exactly like that or else it wont work.
2. power down phone and then boot in to the hboot (vol down+power)
3. it will scan for the .img
4. when it asks to update hit yes.
5. let it do its thing and you will have amon.

Did u put it in a folder? Cuz your not supposed to... And are you going into hboot (vol down+power)? Because if its on the card it will ask you to update and u have to say yes.

This phone was rooted already, then today I returned it to stock since the cyanogen7 that was on there did not... somehow... have the menu option to "update profile" I needed to change my phone number. I wanted to re-root, but I'm having trouble where to begin.
In the Power+Vol Down boot screen, it shows S-OFF, and HBOOT 2.10.0001
I cant make Revolutionary work because 2.15 is the lowest HBOOT it accepts.
If I choose the "recovery" option in that list, I get a black screen with a red triangle/exclamation point icon over an icon of the phone. I have to take the battery out to get the phone back on.
The phone does work, btw. But I miss the stuff I get when it's rooted. Anyway... what do I do now? How do I get the recovery/cyanogen7 on there if I cant get superuser permissions?
I used some other method back when I rooted this phone, but I haven't seen anything yet to spark my memory of the steps.
U are already s-off. No need for revolutionary. Go to dev thread and look for amon_ra recovery. Download it and follow directions to flash it. Then download whatever rom u want and flash that. The red triangle just means you have no recovery.
Support TrevE !!
I thought Revolutionary was how I got the custom recovery on the phone, which I need before I can root? I;d like to put CWM on there, since I have a paid version of Rom Manager already, and I believe they work together well.

If that's your hboot then you rooted with unrevoked and don't use rom manager and clockworkmod everyone here will tell you it leads to problems

So if my HBOOT is 2.10, it means I originally rooted with "unrevoked", and there may be problem with that and the Rom Manager/ CWD setup?

You did originally root with unrevoked. Sometimes it doesn't flash the recovery [known fact] in which you do as Paranoia said above, as to download, flash, and install a recovery.

All you need is to flash a custom recovery in the bootloader and you will be set and yes everyone will recommend amon RA (supersonic RA) over clockworkmod recovery

Okay, I did the Bootloader/PC36IMG.zip thing, and then I loaded the cyanogen7.1 zip and applied it. I got a load screen loop one time, but after taking out the battery and booting again, it loaded into cyanogen. I dont see the Market in the menu tho...
Rom Manager is installed though, but to do anything it wants to install CWM. So do I let it? I need the market, obviously. If Rom Manager is to be avoided, what replaces it? I liked how everything was in one place, with auto backup's and recovery of the phone, etc...

You just need to flash the latest gapps in recovery.
Okay, that's in process. But the question remains, should I uninstall Rom Manager or can I use it? If I shouldn't use it, is there anything that replaces it? How would I go about backing up my phone and data? I've paid for Titanium a while ago, so I know I can use that to backup app's, but what about the phone itself?

You'll have to uninstall rom manager as you need CWM recovery. To back up, simply backup all your apps and data in tb, boot into recovery, select nandroid restore/backup, selecet backup, and you NEED the first 3 checked [boot, system, data]. Also if its your first, backup wimax as well, then copy it to your pc for safe keeping, in case you ever lost your wimax keys.
Figured I would ask here instead of opening a new thread...I have an evo running hboot 2.10 and 3.30 software that I would like to root. I've used unrevoked back in the day but its been so long. So I was thinking about upgrading and using revolutionary. Is there really any difference that would want me to re learn unrevoked, or just upgrade the h boot and software and use revo? any insight would be appreciated

Just use unrevoked, download and install the hboot drivers from the site, connect the phone via usb, charge only, usb debugging enabled, run the software.

There is no reason to "upgrade" to revolutionary. Unrevoked is the same thing as revo. Just unrevoked doesnt work with the newer hboots. If your already s-off in bootloader there is no difference. U can use any rom regardless if u used revo or unrevoked. The whole object of rooting is to get s-off. Once you have it there is nothing more you can do. Ive used both on unrevoked on my original evo. And revo on my newer refurb. There basically the same. Easy auto root pretty much.
