its because your phone still has a locked bootloader/S-ON. you can not have a permanent clockwork recovery if your bootloader is locked/S-ON.

I c I c thank you for replying I started to think that after looking in to it even more

Yes, you do.
Edit: And your post would be Q&A, not development.
Did u try pressing volume down and power at the ! Screen? I know clockwork usually comes up directly using rom manager, but you can still get to clockwork that way.

You need to update the recovery from rom manager.

None of these suggestions are going to do any good if he hasn't the flashed the engineering image.

I did previously flash the ENG build and I have to go through the first part of the root process every time I want to use Clockwork. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong...

Why would you not flash the eng? It takes 5 minutes that save on asking repetitive questions. Many people will tell you that you DON'T need to flash it, but if everybody flashed the eng build, everytime there was a problem people wouldn't have to ask, "Did you flash the eng build?" Kind of a time-saver and yes it irons out ALL the kinks other than user error.
The belief that it WASN'T necessary was started by Wes Garner because one of his ROMS never installed correctly, but to this day, it still remains uninstallable...so it has nothing to do with the eng build being the prob.
Just my 2 cents, bro.

The engineering rom being optional is like saying leaving gas in your car is optional. I mean, sure, you could always leave it empty and walk to the gas station with a can and come back every time you wanted to start it, but its a heck of a lot easier if you just leave some gas in the tank for next time.

is the update.zip file on your memory card. If it is then all you have to do is flash the update.zip from the recovery menu or just use rom manager

It is on my SD card but I have to do the adb loop process and push the update after unsuccessfully flashing the update just like the first time I rooted. Rom Manager is not getting me into Clockworkmod recovery.

You have restored your phone back to stock recovery doing that. You need to reinstall the engineering image.

Even before I ran the ESPRIMG.zip I couldn't get straight into Clockworkmod.
Thanks for helping, by the way. I have to go into work now but I'll give re-flashing the ENG build later.

Just make sure you keep the update.zip on your sd. It didn't let you get straight into clockwork anyway. You need rom manager or bootloader to recovery then update.zip will get you in everytime with the ENG build

S-off recoveries?!?!?!

Hi I recently flashed the Alpharev HBOOT and had Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 installed, but the main reason I S-OFF'd was so that I could flash the experimental CW3 which I have had major problems with so I wanted to revert but I can't find the 2.5.0.1 recovery img anywhere!. I don't need the update.zip I need the .img so if anybody has it or a link to it, will you please let me know? Thanks

Once on the page just do a search for "espresso".
There are 2 types of files for each version:
Zip format
Img format
to flash it (through fastboot or similar) you want the img format. Also it would be wise to check the MD5Sum of your download before flashing. Just sayin'

Can you still boot into recovery?

First, this is in the wrong forum. Second, can you still get into HBOOT if you follow these instructions? http://noobgui.de/wiki/index.php?title=Booting_into_HBOOT
yes i can boot into recovery but when i hit recovery and install zip from sd card theres nothing there and then i hit reboot and it then brings me to fastboot
Try flashing calkulins format all zip to wipe everything and then try and flash something.

Where can I download a recovery.img?

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 probably has the image in it. Alternatively you can just use ROM Manager to flash it. Free download in the market.

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.

It was compiled by someone in the Clockwork 3 Alpha thread but the one the OP posted was EXTREMELY UNSTABLE, so someone posted another link to a VERY STABLE version and that is the one I linked you to.

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.

thank you for the response, I will give it a try and will post the result after it.
Found "recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-espresso.img" file.
Just Flashed it with Terminal Emulator.
-commands-
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-espresso.img
Should say writing files and a bunch of hex numbers and letters
about 10 lines or so.
you can't flash the recovery.zip or recovery file from inside the zip they don't work and will make your recovery not work.
Link of website:http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/
Link of img:recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-espresso.img
Just flashed the above file and it works. I did it from fastboot though.
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.

[Q] HTC Evo 4G not turning on or goin to recovery

I have an OG evo. when its off the orange light doesn't come on saying its charging. it wont go to the recovery. it wont turn on. is there anything that i could do?
I'd start with trying a different battery if you haven't already.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Makes me think the USB port is busted, if the phone isn't bricked. As stated above, try another battery.
Sent using my HTC EVO 4G and a magic wand
well i changed the battery and still nothing. i cant even fastboot flash a rom or recovery on it using my phone. i really think i bricked it. i have never bricked a phone so i really dont kno if i really did or not.
Usually the easiest answer is the correct one.
What did you do right before it started faulting?
Are you sure both batteries had a charge at all?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
i dont remember what i did right before it faulted but i do kno neither of the batteries r charging.
Did either battery have a charge on them prior to putting them in the phone, or did you just try and charge them in the phone?
Sent using my HTC EVO 4G and a magic wand
the batteries charge just fine in another phone. when i try to turn the phone on it will go to the white screen with HTC evo 4g on it and then it will go black and show the same white screen again. it keeps doin that until i pull the battery.
Can you get into the bootloader by pressing volume down + power? If so, try to boot into recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik. Then reboot. You might also try a different ROM.

Try installing a new recovery thru the bootloader before you try flashing any ROM's. If you can successfully install a new recovery, see if you can get into recovery mode from the bootloader.
