I have doen this too, Clockworkmod replaces Amon's, just reflash amons and it will come back.
Thanks,
I got it working again, but just wondering how would I used this recovery manager if I wanted to ?
I dont think it was properly flashing its own recovery image.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Don't use CLOCKWORK recovery unless you want a nice looking brick.

Using Clockwork turns my phone into an Iphone 4?
Jking, does it bring anything to the plate that anons does not? and if so does anyone know if there is a way to manually flash the recovery image from them onto the phone, because if I use it, it just make my phone sit at the skate board screen?

It does have some pretty nice features, but it could cause a brick in the future.
I used it about a month before i had any problems with it.
I wasn't able to flash or restore any nands i had made, it would just spit out error after error. I even tried flashing the ROOT rom and that didn't help either. then when i tried rebooting it just never turned on again and I had to get the phone replaced. On other phones it works great, but on the eris its no good.
I would suggest stay with RA unless you're willing to risk your phone and money.
Cool,
I was just interested in the update rom feature for the Eris, but oh well if its that dangerous >.<
Thanks!
Quick question T2noob, I just noticed your post on the blog for clockwork recovery where you ever able to get past this error.
"The recovery for for the eris 1.8.1.1 isn't working, I tried to reboot into recovery but it never boots, it just stays at the android skateboard screen. If you need anything, testing, info on the phone, ect you can email me at XXXXXXXX"
Yea You need to flash RA then Clockwork thats how he had me fix it, but like i said don't use Clockwork recovery just take a look at this thread im not the only one
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687272
I find it really odd that so many people have trouble with clockwork. Been using it to flash ROMs for months with no issues. Hopefully don't have any in the future!
i've used clockwork mod for 3 weeks now without any problems. also have rom manager installed, same author. i absolutely love both apps. i came from a v3 leak and couldn't get amon recovery to load on my phone, this worked like a charm first time. also i read in the forums that amons recovery is no longer supported by the author unlike clockwork mod which the author updates frequently.

that thread you linked too only has you and the op posting in it. in fact i read that thread before i installed it and thought to myself that 2 people aren't enough to convince me it causes any more problems than amon's. personally i only used clockwork because that is what i could get loaded on my phone and have loved it since. also its been updated like 4 times since May when that link was started. so if it bricks my phone so what it just a phone and everythings backed up in triplicate anyways. be a nice excuse to get me a new toy.
I also believe the op's problem is that he used rom manager to flash amons recovery. now its my understanding that doing that removes clockwork mod recovery and replaces it with amon's. so he actually had a problem with amon's recovery and not clockwork mod recovery. i think the problems occur when people use rom manager to falsh a different recovery instead of clockwork mod which it is made to work with. just my ramblings here.

take it as a grain of salt, if you come into the irc there are devs there that had this happen to them and can tell you what exactly happens. And I used ClockWork for about a month before i got the brick so...do as you like with this information.
well there are a lot of people running clockwork mod without problems. i went to the cyanogen forums looking for who was running cm6, like the op, and there are just as many people using clockwork as amon's. and there were a few reports of nandroid recovery failures using amon's in cm6 as the reason why they switched to clockwork.

I heard that clock work is a great recovery on other devices, but on the eris it's not good the irc devs also worked with the guy who makes the recovery email him if you like he will tell you he had gotten complaints about on the eris. And there isn't an official cm6 for the eris so the people you talked to were running it for other devices. Like I said a grain of salt.

Well I would like to test it out but the recovery image it drops over anons does not seem to work anyone have any moderately detailed instructions on to how to get it to work?

I'm rooted, unrevoked; I'm currently stuck in a boot loop. I can not reach recovery. I can not get to my rom. I can only access bootloader.
So far I have taken these steps to cure my problem:
Ran RUU software in Windows (with and without sd card in evo)
Flashed RUU as PC36IMG in bootloader
Cleared Storage using fastboot in command prompt
Cleared Recovery and then Flashed Amon Ra's Recovery and Clockwork using fastboot in command prompt
Flashed Amon Ra's Recovery and Clockwork as PC36IMG in hboot
Flashed Sprint Lover's as PC36IMG in hboot
Flashed eng-PC36IMG from Toastctfh's Old Root Tutorial as PC36IMG in hboot
Each of these methods flashed successfully as far as I can tell... yet I still go into an infinite boot loop.
Before the bootloop this is what I was doing:
I had the initial CM7 nightly installed for about 2 weeks. It was buggy, and a few days ago restarted and deleted all my texts, and desynced from google. On rebooting, google apps acted as if I had never ran the phone before - it asked me to enter google account info, etc, upon reboot.
I decided CM7 was too unstable and so I wiped data and davlik, and flashed CM6. When CM6 booted google apps was already on, before I had even flashed it! Anyways I figured I wanted to give MIUI a run, so I wiped data and davlik, and flashed MIUI. It ran fine for about two hours, and then rebooted out of nowhere... and never came out of the boot loop.
I'm really starting to sweat this as I have gone three days now without a phone. Does anyone have any ideas that may help me? Thanks.
If I am unable to get out of my boot loop, does anyone know if I would be able to unroot my phone and then take it into Sprint and get another?
Are you able to boot into recovery?

bump to this as I am also experiencing this same situation. Phone stuck in an infinite bootloop to the white htc screen then all over again. can get into bootloader but not into recovery.
tried all the above. this was out of nowhere.
This problem is all over the Evo section, especially in Q&A and I don't think I've seen anyone come out of it.
On the positive side, I also don't think I've seen anyone take theirs back to Sprint and have a tech even check to see if their phone was rooted or not, and btw, next time you flash a new ROM, not saying this is the cause, wipe EVERYTHING, not just cache and dalvik-cache
Having the same problem here also...
didi you try the clear storage mode in the boot loader cause if you already flashed the PC36IMGyou wouldnt have a custom recovery just the triangle screen i recomend doing it with the original 2.1 zip file then just re rooting it put the rom then flash radio and g apps

I have tried everything you have mentioned and nothing works...
The OP's list of attempted fixes looks like he ran the gamut.
Unless there's a fix that I haven't read about, it's time for a trip to the Sprint store....
I have someone working on mine that claims he can get it fixed...has access to things I don't. We will see. I will report the results.
Ok...He did it and its up and running. I was trying to flash mine to Boost Mobile so thats how i got mine into a boot loop but he got mine out of it with this...Download the

calm down take a breather us XDA users got your back, OK take out the battery and put it back in then go to the Hboot ( hold power and volume down) then once you get to the Hboot Settings use volume down to get to RECOVERY (i think its the third one) then once you get into Clockwork Recovery scroll down to (Backup and Restore) click then press (Restore) and then choose your Restore file it usually Year-month-day hope i helped you donate pls if i did
BE SURE TO KEEP THE CHARGER IN!!
p.s. if it turns off while its restoring even with the charger in let it boot into recovery mode and let it charge up a bit
incase you still need help gtalk me [email protected]
and p.s. CWM 3.0.0.5 is for gingerbread only
Certain roms require certain versions of clockworkmod. I don't know if this also applies to restoring from backups, though. Which type of rom did you flash?
If he flashed the add on 3.0.0.5 has ext3/ext4 support. Should be able to flash froyo and TB Rome.

3.0.0.6 supports ext3/ex4 3.0.0.5 only does Gingerbread
Edit: I'm being a dumbass yea what he said was right I'm overly tired and I have to explain to her why I was being a dumbass and trying to flash through fastboot but what I don't understand is why its still stuck at the boot screen

Three options
Option one: (easiest)
Since you flashed 3.0.0.5 you must flash a Gingerbread ROM, (Which you can download from here ). Make sure to flash the G/apps after you flash the ROM.
Option two:
you can flash a 2.x.x.x Recovery image, or flash 3.0.0.6 via script or manually do it via the HBoot.
Option three:
Flash the PD15IMG and start over from ground one.
thank you so much for the advice and help. i could bang my head on the wall for trying to load gorillasens. i shouldve left it alone. once i get home from work i will give it a try again.

Ah. i think i see what happened. You rooted your phone. downloaded Clockwork Rom Manager, then flashed a recovery image (which was version 3.x). then tried to flash a 2.2 ROM.
Okay. so what.....
a common mistake but one that can be avoided by doing a little research.
Clockwork's 3.0.0.5 recovery image is only compatible with Gingerbread (2.3) based ROMs.
Clockwork's 2.x recovery image are only compatible with FroYo (2.2) based ROMs.
gorilla is 2.2 So it's not cannot be flashed by the recovery image you are using.
if that is correct then the text in the recovery image should be orange in color. If that is correct.....If i were in your shoes i'd load CM7 w/ the GAPPS > download CWRM from the markert > scroll to the bottom (all clockwork recoveries) and flash the newest 2.x. then boot into recovery / make sure the text is GREEN, not ORANGE, wipe then flash your GorillaSense.
Can you cite a source, because I've also heard people claim that Clockwork 3 is backwards compatible, but there was no evidence either way...?
How would you go about switching from a 2.2 ROM to a 2.3 ROM? Do you have to backup with CWM 2, then install CWM 3 to install the new ROM? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me...?

3.0.0.5 is not backwards compatible, which is the official 3.x that you download via the Application. 3.0.0.6 which is "beta" flashed via the HBoot is backwards compatible.
It's seriously jacked if you ask me.
to go from lets say CM6 > CM7 one would do a nandroid backup of CM6, then go to CWRM flash the 3.0.0.5 recovery image > boot into recovery and flash the CM7.
now to get back to a 2.2 ROM you have to scroll to the bottom of CWRM app's and flash a 2.x version of the recovery then do your nandroid restore, flash the 2.2 recovery image.
From what i've heard once 3.0.0.6 is finished you can use that for everything.
What a pain...
I'm real sketchy about the Clockwork 3 recoveries for the Nexus, because they've been screwing up partitions (mine included). Has there been any problems with Clockwork 3 on the Glacier?

I haven't had any problems with mine. The only problem that was noted was the 3.0.0.5 prior to the official release wouldn't do Nandroid Backups directly from the application. Some were reporting it work work from the recovery image, but mine never did.
and i have a feeling the reason it's screwing with Partitions is this (CM7/CW3.x) is a Ext4 set up. And CM6/CW2.x is a Ext3 set up.
but since it went official the only problem i've seen is people flashing the the wrong recovery for the wrong ROM. People are flashing 3.x because 3 is higher than 2 so they think it's an upgrade and have no clue on the who/what/when/wheres and whys of what its for.
The partition thing is different for the Nexus, because they are cross compatible to a certain degree. I rolled back to CWM 2, but I can still flash CM7 no probs...
It's interesting to note the differences between the two platforms though (Nexus vs Glacier).

Yea between Google's way of doing thing and HTC, but i'm sure the chip-set has something to do with that. and with the sexy nexi only having 512Mb of memory the factor of tricking the phone to use the SD card has something to do with it i'm sure.
i have the 3.x recovery and i can flash iceglacier which is a 2.2 rom with out any issues. what i can't do is restore my backup from my other phone onto this replacement i just got. i made the backup with the 3.x recovery but i just keep getting stuck at the mytouch bootup screen... gonna try flashing the 2.x recovery and see if it lets me do the restore.
hey there everyone. just giving an update.......phone is still messed up. we tried putting gingerbread on and no go....tried flashing to PD15IMG and starting over. no go, it kept saying that "main version older <bad>" the phone wont go past the htc screen. im going on day 3 and no phone. *sigh* open for more advice. should i just buy another phone?

Any help greatly appreciated! If I am in the wrong place, very sorry
Which recovery are you trying to flash and how?? via PC36IMG?
Thanks for the reply!!! recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img. and update-cm-7.1.0-Supersonic-signed.zip I tried both as pc36img from HBoot and via fast boot. neither worked. I also tried to install to change boot.img via fastboot. same message.
Look for the Amon Ra thread in the Development section, grab the PC36IMG.zip Make sure that it's named exactly like that and flash that in Hboot. That should give you recovery.
i wish there was odin for htc devices
Will try that again first thing in the a.m. Been working on it all day and the brain is mush! I'll post the result as soon as I'm done. Thanks!

Well this happened to me once, what i did was i put on my sd card any other rom (i was using cm7 nightlies so i put another nightly in) and then i wiped cache and flashed it, however it might also help if from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702 you get the format all zip and use that to wipe everything. once you have flashed another rom and your phone turns on wait a little bit and then try once again to flash the first rom you were trying to flash.

Holy Cannoli!! Ok that .zip worked for the recovery (I tried several different downloads!) Now I have to see if I can copy an image. Wish me luck!
Thanks for the info. I totally though the phone was bricked. Actually the phone would load in HBoot and Fastboot but I couldn't get a recovery on or a ROM. In other words there was no ROM to boot to. In addition to that, wether I tried from SD card or fastboot, I couldn't get any .img, .zip etc to install. So here I was with an HBoot - S-off and no way to get a recovery or ROM on the puppy. I am still working on this and still jammed up but the recovery gives me hope. Please stick around in case I have a meltdown. (hasn't happened yet but I can feel it getting closer!) LOL
Stick around for the detail of what I did If I can get this ROM onboard! Maybe this will help someone else.
Success!!! I have a recovery and a ROM!
Here are the details...First I believe my SD card was/is corrupted. I am still using it and I formatted it several times but I think something was squirrely which is now fixed. Second, the Amon Ra PC36IMG.zip that I downloaded at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026&highlight=recovery
worked awesome to get a working recovery via HBoot and SD Card. Next, I used the new recovery to load my ROM. and Voila a working phone.
Moral of the story, Check the SD card, USB drivers, and file downloads for corruption. I think one or all of these played a part in my crash.
@ Johnboy this is an excellent group of developers and members here at XDA, I have been flashing both Winmo and Android for a long time but can always rely on the forums to bring me back to center when I crash and burn! Thanks everyone for your help.
You should try wiping everything but your SDcard: option and flashing a ROM first and see what happens

Success!!! I have a recovery and a ROM!
Here are the details...First I believe my SD card was/is corrupted. I am still using it and I formatted it several times but I think something was squirrely which is now fixed. Second, the Amon Ra PC36IMG.zip that I downloaded at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026&highlight=recovery
worked awesome to get a working recovery via HBoot and SD Card. Next, I used the new recovery to load my ROM. and Voila a working phone.
Moral of the story, Check the SD card, USB drivers, and file downloads for corruption. I think one or all of these played a part in my crash.
@ Johnboy this is an excellent group of developers and members here at XDA, I have been flashing both Winmo and Android for a long time but can always rely on the forums to bring me back to center when I crash and burn! Thanks everyone for your help.

i am having a similar problem. nothing will put my phone into recovery. I even went to sprint and the guy there had rooted 2 of his phones and he couldnt help me.

SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.16.1002
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-2.15.00.0808
i have been rooted for a while and i have changed ROMS many times. but the other day i flashed fresh evo and my phone wouldnt reboot and i thought i screwed it up but then after a minute it came on. realized that ROM wasnt what i wanted and i flashed myn warm 2.2 and it rebooted just fine but when my phone turned on, it just kept initializing and didnt end up running. then i realized i didnt flash the radio and wimax updater it came with. so i went into recovery and wiped everything then reflashed the rom and radio wimax and it just froze in the white htc evo 4g screen. getting to hboot and bootloader works fine but freezes when i try to go to recovery.
if i didnt make sense or said something stupid i apologize!! i am a 4 month noob. any help is appreciated!! thanks!!

Johnnyboy1409 Did you ever get this fixed?
No it won't let me go into recovery to flash anything. All I need is a trick to get into recovery and I can wipe everything then perform a nandroid restore. I already have had the pc36img.zip on the root of the zip. It is copied correctly but idk if I spelled it right on here cuz I'm on my girlfriends phone and can't remember it.everytime I boot into hboot that zip updates but doesn't help...

when you go to boot loader and it loads, it then should ask if you want to update splash - hit no, then to reboot - hit no, then you should be able to go one down and hit recovery. do you get those options?
I get those options but when I click recovery it goes to the white htc Evo 4g screen and stays there no matter how long I wait.

I know I sound like a broken record but try formatting your SD card or using a different known good card and also use the link in my post above to re-download the pc36img.zip Amon RA Recovery. Then you know all the components are "clean and without erro". Then you can start to figure out the problem.
Due to koush for releasing a wonderful tool to the android community i threw in the current cwm into the builder and it came out with a new and shiny version!

Don't boot into recovery using rom manager, as is it will boot u into older version.. but if u delete the recovery-update.zip in the clockworkmod folder it will boot into the new recovery but with an error
The background images for the recovery are huge x_X

mine, just in case!
Do you have an Eris that you're testing this on? I was under the impression that CWM and ROM Manager didn't play nicely with the Eris. What's your experience been?

ya, I have an Eris.. I think that was long time ago which has been solved before even the latest official cwm..
I left the Eris long ago but keep it around as a pmp, since my trackball doesnt scroll and the mic is busted.. when I started using it again I couldn't flash anything new because I was on amonRA.. so I took the plunge and used cwm and I haven't ran into a single issue.. there, that's my Eris history xP right now I have it on cm7.2 stable

Fantastic! I was actually looking for someone running CM7.2 Stable. My brother is using my Eris and I've had him on xtrSense forever. I'd like to flash him up to Gingerbread. What do you think of the stable release?

the only thing I have to say since I barely use the thing is that I have installed is a 32gb sdcard and before on 7.1 it sometimes didn't finish the boot cycle because every so often it gets stuck at checking sdcard.. now its more likely to boot completely.. don't get me wrong, it still sometimes gets stuck on boot... again fault is because of the 32gb sdcard.. and me having to have lots of music...

what u do is u go to the site and insert a recovery ( even stock ) for ur device and it builds it for ur based on cwm.. fortunately ( or unforunately, if u wanted to do it urself ) there was already one done for the hero =] .... yes that means i looked through a good amount of them just to see what people were building x.x

There are lots of posts on this site (and on others), many relatively recent, from people with Erises that cannot boot that almost all started with a person who was running with ClockworkMod as their recovery image; none that I know of from people who started with Amon_RA. Scary Alien made a trackball-optional version of Amon_RA (with Amon_RA's permission) for the Eris which works with the hardware keys as well as the trackball. See http://androidforums.com/eris-all-t...2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html
So, be careful with Clockwork Recovery.

I seriously think the issues have been resolved.. the way koush works on them brings what he did before to the next recovery he makes.. if that issue was still around there would be a lot of phones not booting..

There was just an issue a week or two ago. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702130
That's pretty typical - for some reason, these phones end up with bad blocks in some partitions (usually system.img, cache.img) that are difficult to resolve.
Note that you can install ROM Manager on a CM ROM and hit "install recovery". This installs an update.zip file in the root of the SD card. From Amon_RA you can flash the update.zip and it will start Clockwork. That method seems to be safe and is the way that I flash, Nandroid, etc., on the Eris.
Again, this seems to be an Eris issue with Clockwork as the default recovery. If it works for you, that's fine, but I would try to get on the 1.49.2000 S-OFF bootloader so that you can use fastboot as a recovery tool if you are not on that bootloader already.

Yeah, that's how I always thought was the safest way to do it--running CWM from ROM Manager.
Yep, been using ROM Manager, and CWM through update.zip via Amon RA for a year and a half now without any issues. I don't think I'd ever be tempted to flash CWM over Amon RA; I'd rather have the best of both worlds without wondering if I'm taking any additional risk.
well.. I understand everyone's opinion and its cool.. I tried working on making a recovery.zip that just restarted the recovery not overwrite it, but it just wouldn't do it =/
