Does ROM Manager work with AmonRa Recovery?
I'm asking this because I currently have Clockwork and when I try to flash an alternate recovery through ROM Manager, it says that features within ROM Manager will be unavailable until I flash Clockwork again.
So...hence my question. And if I wanted to switch to RA recovery, would I have to manually push it through adb or is using ROM Manager fine?

No, you can flash Amon through ROM manager, but if you want to manage the nandroid back-ups you've done through ROM manager, you need to flash back to clockwork recovery. I always keep Amon on since Clockwork may or may not wipe the dalvik cache properly, and only revert to clockwork recovery when I need to restore or create a back up of my ROM.
No need to use ADB unless you get some kind of an error flashing from ROM manager.

Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it.
I never knew how easy it is to flash the recoveries. I always thought I would have to push it through adb again like the time I rooted!
I'll def try what you are doing with keeping Amon and switching back to Clockwork when needed.
Thanks again for the help!
No worries; glad I could be of help.

Rooted my new evo with 3.70 with unrevoked and the pc3img. Loaded sprint lovers and runs fine. I am trying to install the new fresh 3.5.0.1 ROM. I took the pc3img off my card and put the new fresh zip on my card. I reboot the phone into recovery So I go in and wipe data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik. Reboot recovery. I selected install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard, then selected fresh-evo-3.5.0.1.zip. It then says confirm install? THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE. I scroll down and hit yes. It starts writing the boot.img then I get this message.
assert failed: write_raw_image ("tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:error in /sdcard/fresh-evo-3.5.0.1.zip
(status 7)
installation aborted
It does this on every ROM I try to install. What do I do?
flash ra recovery and then try to install.
ra recovery.........where do I get that from?
easiest way is to install rom manager from the market, it will install it for you
You shouldn't be rooting phones if you have to ask that question.
by the way, Im using clockwork. Can I flash like amon ra from my sdcard while in recovery, then flash the fresh rom?

if you can't boot into a rom then you can adb push it into your phone, I'm not familiar enough with that method to walk you through it
this thread will help you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
If I redo my phone from start, can I install Amon ra instead of using clockwork? I think that clockwork is why I am having problems. I cant do backups or anything the way it is right now.
When I say redo my phone, i mean just totaly erase my sdcard and go back through and "reroot" my phone from the beginning. My phone went downhill when I installed clockwork, so next time I am not gonna use it.
yes, you can find the 3.70 ruu in the dev section, it will completely wipe your phone and unroot. use if your phone came new with the 3.70 software

The way to install Amon RA is to use rom manager, if you dont have it get it. Go in and flash clockwork recovery, just to make sure it's flashed fully. Now scroll all the way down and go to flash alternate recovery, which is actually Amon RA. There you go. Now you you can flash just like you would through clockwork. Select your file and hit power. Now this time instead of scrolling down to confirm it will tell you to hit power to confirm. Good Luck with fixing your phone!

Do this. ^^^ the current version of clockworkmod has issues with older hboots, causing that error.

Searched, but couldn't find an answer to this. I rooted and installed ROM Manager so I can do a nandroid backup before installing a custom ROM. However, when I press back up in ROM Manager, it restarts and hangs/freezes on the HTC MyTouch 4g splash screen.
What am I doing wrong?
Have you flashed CWM recovery after installing Rom Manager. You must flash the recovery before you can backup/restore or install roms. I almost did that myself but luckily i read the thread concerning it again and flashed REcovery before trying to back up rom.
Yeah, I did that first and the problem remains. I just uninstalled and reinstalled ROM Manager and am about to try "backup current rom" again (unless I should reboot into recovery and back up from clockwork recovery?).
FWIW; Current recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2
anyone?
Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I just started getting exactly the same. Cant reboot manually into clockwork recovery or from Rom manager :/
If you have flashed a recovery beyond that supported by ROM manager, you will not be able to perform recovery functions from the app (i.e. backup). CW3 is required for CM7 ROMs, but will not be supported by ROM manager until the CM7 RC drops. You can still manually boot to recovery (I always Vol up when powering then select Recovery) and if you have CM7 nightly installed, it has a "reboot to recovery" option in the reboot menu.
You need CWM3 to use CM7.

Sometimes it is necessary to flash clockwork recovery more than once before it will actually stick. Also, occasionally it will freeze on the splashscreen after a backup, but a battery pull and turning out the phone should be fine.

Here's what's going on:
The Clockworkmod Recovery that you can download from the Market only supports up to CyanogenMod 6.x. For CM7, you need to install Clockworkmod Recovery 3.x, but that version isn't available on the Market yet.
What this means is that you need to find the image file for a CWR 3.x on these forums and manually install it through either a terminal emulator or fastboot. The post below explains how to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10862819&postcount=3
If you flash CM7 using CWR 2.x, your phone won't boot. There's just no way around it.

Careful with the terminology there. ROM Manager, the app you download from the Market, is a GUI front-end to the CWM recovery image, but you can download and install CWM without using ROM Manager at all. Just because you have ROM Manager installed doesn't mean that CWM recovery is also successfully installed.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't imply that CW ROM Manager and CW Recovery are the same thing though...

You said "the Clockworkmod Recovery that you can download from the Market", and that kinda does. No biggie though.
Just an update for my problem, it turned out that clockwork recovery had corrupted for whatever reason and couldn't be reinstalled from rom manager. As I wanted to test Cm7 anyways I just ended up flashing clockwork recovery 3 manually through fastboot and its all gravy again

How to flash clockwork recovery from fastboot or fron clockwork recovery 2.51?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thanks, everyone. What happened with mine, I have no idea, but I randomly opened rom manager and was greeted with an update to the recovery. So I downloaded it and voila - I can now boot into recovery and do backups, etc...
how do i install clockwork recovery?? i can't install it using rom manager and havent been able to update my phone
does it give you an error in rom manager? what is your current recovery? does rom manager have superuser privilege in superuser?
Are you trying to restore a backup using ROM Manager? If you rooted your phone using unrEVOked it automatically installs Clockwork Mod recovery version 2.6.0.1. This is the recovery program you may have used to make your first backup. If you've recently updated ROM Manager beyond 2.6.0.1 and flashed a recovery you will not be able to restore a backup initially made with CWM recovery 2.6.0.1. The article below explains it all. You may need to re-flash CWM recovery 2.6.0.1 again and try and restore the backup manually booting up through recovery and not through ROM Manager. ROM Manager has been causing problems for some people. This version is found at the bottom of Koush's article. I hope this helps.

Hello. i am new to the android family
i have a nexus s GT-9020T
i have rooted my phone but without setting the clockworkmod reovery.
today i was playing with the rom manager and downloaded one of the rom from the list. after installation i was unable to start the phone only seeing the google logo with the unlock logo.
i went back into the recovery by typing flash recovery recovery.img etc.
run a restore and restart the phone but still not work
my nexus s is 2.3.4 by the way.
please assist
What "restore" did you run?
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
And download the full rom:
Model: i9020T
Full Rom: GRJ22, KD1
That'll revert your Nexus S to the latest completely stock 2.3.4
Then you can flash recovery again and go back to clockwork mod and go flash another rom or whatever.
Remember when you're flashing a new rom you need to wipe data and cache and dalvik cache.
i run an restore from the backup that i made before installing the new rom using clockwork mod recovery, its part of the option when installing the rom using the rom manager * click box - backup * etc something like that

Next time don't use Rom Manager to make backups or flash roms. It's stupid and can get you issues like you're having.
Anyways, try wiping data and cache then restoring the backup, do it in Clockwork Recovery.
Let it boot, first boot always takes a while, 5-10 minutes. If you see the boot animation freeze, stop and restart, then yeah it's screwed up, otherwise, just let it is.
If still not working from your backup, do what I said in previous reply, just restore to stock 2.3.4 then re flash clockwork mod and start over with the rom you want to flash.
thank your nxt. i have found the real problem. it was not my backup problem or the rom that u provided. it was the version of my clockwork mod recovery. i was using an 2.x.x.x to restore the phone which is why it doesn't work. everything work fine now after i flashed with an 3.x.x.x and restore the phone. one question thou, where can i always find the newest clockwork mod recovery release ? thank you very much

Or just use ROM Manager to get the latest.
That's the only thing I use ROM Manager for... getting the latest Recovery.
thanks again nxt. if you don't mind really ...i have one more question. i know the phone intend to uninstall clockwork mod recovery once its restarted. i know there is command type into the cmd to avoid the phone uninstall the clockworkmod reovery and make it permanent in another word. I didn't run those command when i root my phone because i don't know if its good to make it permanent like.... hmmm like if there will be a 2.3.5 coming next month..just saying ok... with a permanent unofficial recovery will cause a problem?

Are you running custom ROM? If you are, it's already made to not revert back to stock recovery. If you leave it stock recovery you'll get notifications for firmware updates by Google, but remember that applying those to a rooted phone might screw things up too.
the blue one is stock recovery right?

Don't remember. It should only have like 3-4 options.
thanks again nxt. no i am not running an custom rom. i mean not yet. i planed to try one from the rom manager download section then my phone couldn't start after installation and now i have restored my phone from my backup using the clockwork mod recovery 3.x.x.x.
I know there are many of these threads but I can not find a answer to my problems. I am on Nexus Beam V2.1.1. ICS 4.0.1 and no matter what I do I can not get into recovery. I have tried through Terminal Emulator, CMD fastboot, and Rom Manager. I have the ADB drivers installed but what ever method I use just doesn't fix my issues. Please help, thank you and Merry Christmas.
Edit: Btw I have a At&t nexus s
have you tried reflashing it? it may have been uninstalled somehow. If you power down, hold vol up + power to boot into fastboot....does it say recovery is installed?? If not, just use rom manager to reflash it
What hp420 said.
If you need cwm, just install Rom Manager from the market, use it to flash cwm from within the app, then uninstall rom manager (because it's useless crap).
You may need to rename or remove the stock recovery from system if your rom included it, or it will keep over-writing cwm.

in my experiences its usually flashing cwm from rom manager that causes issues getting into recovery. every time i have tried upgrading cwm from rom manager i cant boot into recovery. i have to use fastboot to flash it manually.

Have you tried flashing it twice in succession? It typically doesn't work well flashing it only once.
