rom manager - EVO 4G General

i flash alternate recovery which is amon ra from rom manager and now it wouldnt let me flash back to clockword recovery image. IT said flashed successfully but when i reboot to recovery it always takes me to amon ra and all my back up is in clockwork recovery is there any way to change back up from clockwork to amon ra?

You have to do it through a terminal emulator. Instructions in the link below:

I don't know if I agree with that statement. ROM Manager has a lot of great features and a lot of utility, but flashing one Recovery over another is something it's not doing successfully right now.

ROM Manager has only one GREAT feature; Fixing permissions. Everything else is suspect to creating problems. Flashing recoveries should be done in Hboot, the right way, not short-cutting via some semi-useless apk.

Have faced this problem quite a few times. Usually when ROM manager comes packaged with the rom I just flashed or when I am playing with the apps2sd commands. Reinstalling RM did it for me every time.

Very opinionated statement based on hear say. Totally disagree.

Reinstalling rm multiple times didn't help me either.I guess gonna have to use Amon RA from here on now on. I used rom manager for all my flashing didn't have single problem until I flashed Amon RA

Of course not. RM revolves around CWM. Which is inferior to AR, btw....

ROM Manager has issues flashing one recovery over another. Hence the need to use a terminal emulator as the instructions I linked explain.

Go to
http://www.mediafire.com/?5otzpnt2ld1lmdo
to download the PC36IMG file for clockworkmod. Change the file name to PC36IMG and put on the root of your SDcard. Boot into the bootloader and accept the update. See if that works for you.

thanks a bunch dude that worked. The problem with amon ra is it doesnt restore half of my app from nadndroid restore.

That's kind've odd, because it always restores mine 100%
But then, I have TB and keep current backups of every app w/ Data so I can restore them at will.

Glad that I could help you restore your clockwork, although I prefer using Amon Ra myself. I came across more issues using clockwork, especially when using Rom Manager.

What RECOVERY is everyone using?

Just Curious. I think I am using "evorecovery". The one that is used to root my phone if that makes sense.
I'm using AA Recovery (Alcoholics Anonymous)
Just kidding
Using the same one as you.
Amon-ra
10char
I'm using Amon Ra.
amon-ra here too..
Clockwork because of Rom-Manager
Amron-ra here too,anyone who used the evo recovery img is running Amron unless they changed it to ClockWork after their initial nand unlock.
clockwork
10 chars
Forget about what ppl are using. Which one is the best? How easy is it to switch?
Amon RA seems to be suggested as the one to use when others fail. so, i just use it.
it is very easy to install and use.
(by the way... press vol + & - to 'go back one screen'...that seems to really muss folks up)
If you want to do a lot of swapping between different roms, I think Clockwork is the way to go. That being said however, there have benefited some compatability issues with Clockwork and some of the roms. You can find more information in the development forum.

I use Amon-ra
But i often switch to Clockwork
The only problem with clockwork is that is has problems doing a complete wipe

The "Evorecovery" is actually the Amon_RA recovery. Toast took Amon_RA's source and modified it a little and made it the default recovery when you do the Part 2 of the root hack.
I use the same recovery, I prefer Amon_RA's recoveries over all others; but that's just me.
ClockworkMod just because it is default in ROM Manager.
I have Amon RA's Recovery because it was suggested for Fresh & DamageControl to get the 'Themes' to install correctly.
I have Amon Ra's recovery as well.

ClockworkMod Recovery HTC Hero

Hi,
I was using Amon RA1.7.0.1 till I found this great site. This seems to be very useful for FLASH Junkies.. Please Comment...

Neo
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Device: Unlocked HTC Hero Grey[GSM]
ROM: Cronos GB 1.1.0 [@315/641 [SETCPU]

Radio: 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03
Unlocked SPL: 1.76.2007
OpenGLES: 1.1
Hm,easy to install directly via ROM Manager,
but I did it via Terminal app and only with phone,so
no ABD commands needed
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html
what is the difference between thes and Amon_RA?
is this faster, or customizable, or just greener? xd
The main reason i use Clockworkmod is becuase you can navigate through folders to flash! No more having to put them on the root of SDCARD!
Example,i have a flashable clockworkmod.zip on the root then another folder called "Roms" that has a flashable AmonRA.zip, as well as folders CMOD ELELINUX VILLAINROM all with roms in!
When i need Amon ra i navigate to Roms/amonra.zip and flash it, then when i want clockworkmod i use amonra and flash clockworkmod from the zip no the root of sd
Wow thats a good function and a good reason i will try it thx for reply
been using for a while now. is most definately the way to go!
Where would I find the amonra.zip as I wouldn't mind giving this a little try but could then easily flash back is required : ) cheers

I did boot into recovery using ROM manager and then it works ok. Booting using the normal reboot menu gave me a freeze as well.

Try "Power Off> then Press Home button and press Power On button" this is the normal process for going in ROM Manager. after this it should work via software.

If you install ROM Manager from the market it will install 1.7.0.1 as an option as well as Clockwork
Help......
I just installed Rom Manager from Market and did the "Flash Clockwork recovery"
Now I have a problem - my Hero wont boot into recovery - it just stays at the "White Hero with black background" screen - nothing happens.
I can boot up my ROM. I used to have RA-1.7.0 recovery.
Any suggestions what to do?
Best regards,
Henrik
try reflashing CWM, if that doesn't help flash RA via terminal.
currently using RA-1.7.0 recovery.
would like to try ClockworkMod Recovery Hero v.2.5.0.7.
will i be able to revert back to amon-ra if i don't find myself comfortable with CWM? if yes, then how? sorry for being a noob
i agree it might take some time for me to get used to CWM.

[Q] Clockwork 3.0.0.6

I am trying to get the Clockwork 3.0.0.6 update so that i can flash RoyalGinger, but it doesn't seem to be working. I follow each and every step on true_blue's guide, but it stays on Clockwork 3.0.0.5. Can anyone walk me through how to get clockwork 3.0.0.6 please? I really want to try out the Royal ROMs. I am currently on iced glacier 1.1.6.

it will say that it is 3.0.0.5 in rom manager, but as soon as you boot into recovery it should say 3.0.0.6
Are you looking at the list of recoveries at the bottom of Rom Manager? It will still say 3.0.0.5. Check that option then reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery. Does it say v3.0.0.5 or .6?

Not trying to hijack, but with 3.0.0.6 you can flash back and forth between froyo and ginger right from the recovery screen correct?
With the new one made by opinion, yes u can. But i cant get it to work =(

ye sir, that is correct
Alright, I'm a noob, but I will try to help. After you installed the zip you opened rom manager, scrolled all the way down to All Clockwork Mod recoveries, and reflashed 3.0.0.5 correct? I actually just flashed this about an hour ago and it worked fine.

try selecting one of the other recoveries and then go back to the 3.0.0.5 and then boot into recovery... idk why it isnt working for you as this is tried and true
or you can try one of the methods in this thread

and you downloaded the new flashable file from the thread right? I had one in my downloads on my pc that I tried to flash today but it didn't work because CWM was updated, so I had to download true's latest. it was just updated two days ago.

You can try 3 different methods. First try flashing cwm3.0 twice from rom manager before rebooting. Second under the advanced options choose erase recovery before flashing new recovery. Third flash the recovery as a PC36IMG

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Stop using ROM Manager and do everything in Hboot or recovery.
The ONLY thing I use ROM Manager for anymore is to fix permissions.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/PC36IMG-1.zip
Remove the -1 in the name, place the file on the root of your sdcard, and then flash in the bootloader.

Exactly!
Using Rom Manager on the Evo is like using training wheels on a racing bike. You're gonna wipe out!
Thanks guys I appreciate the advice and sorry again about this being in general

[Q] I did a baaad thing with clockwork recovery.

I installed a custom ROM that came with the rom manager app. Being curious, i clicked it. Something happened, and I booted into recovery. Previously I have had Amon Ra recovery, and now I have clockwork. WHAT HAVE I DONE??? Is this bad, or should I just go with this new recovery. Thanks in advance.

All you did was install clock work, personally I prefer AmonRa on G1, since it has the sd partition setting. CWR is newer so you might as well use it, when you get a newer phone I recommend 4EXT recovery.
Thanks for the fast reply. So I should probably just put AmonRa though fastboot?

That will work but both recoveries do the same basic things. No real advantages, unless you need the Amon_Ra specific features; don't forget CWR has some newer features since Amon isn't updated anymore.
