Ok so today I was bored at work and decided to play with a few eons and download diff ROM managers from the market . things like that. Well after doing so I can't get my phone to boot into recovery. When I select boot into recovery it just boots back into the screen that gives me option to boot into recovery ,clear storage ect.
I cleared my storage after many attemps hoping it would fix the problem but didn't.
What do I need to do to get my phone to go into recovery? Thanks

Have you tried reflashing your recovery? I have Amon Ra 2.3 available here. You can also find different versions of CWM and other recoveries at this great site: http://goo-inside.me/supersonic.
Be sure the file is named PC36IMG.zip (don't add the zip extension) and on the root of your SD card. The first link to Amon Ra is already named correctly. Boot into hboot (volume down + power) and let it find the file. Update when it asks, don't reboot, then try booting into recovery.
Should fix your problem.

You really shouldn't be using ROM Managers for flashing ROMS anyhow.
Is fast boot enabled?

You get more control over your flashes and ensure that everything is wiped that you want wiped.
If you don't know how to flash manually then you get lazy and don't learn anything, then when you get yourself in a jam like this you don't know how to get out of it.
I feel like if I can do something by hand then I can do it better than the app can. There's less room for error if you know what you're doing and more room for troubleshooting.

I know how to flash manually. Just easier to go through rom manager I guess was my thought behind it.

my epic is rooted with one click but im trying to install roms but cant.when i get to the recovery screen and try to flash it says..E:failed to verify whole-file signature..E:signature verification failed..im useing rom manager im i missing something
Did you have clock work mod, installed, and when you reboot with rom manager are you making sure you are holding power, volume down, and the camera buttons down until clockwork appears. Samsung stock restore is blue in color. Clockwork is green in color, well mine is at least. You want to make sure you are in clockwork and click CHOOSE zip from sd card. NOT install zip from sd

No problem, I had the same problem my self. I thought recovery was clockwork no one tips me clockwork was green instead of blue so I thought I was already in clockwork

It took me a while to realize that I had to find the downloaded rom in the download folder on the sd card when I first started.
Posted via XDA app on Epic Experience 1.2.03 ROM with Phoenix 1.45 kernel
it worked nicely..ya thought i was missing a step, got it now.....thanx again...
Yeah that's the step most people don't really point out. They just say reboot into clockwork

Ok bought an evo on eBay, after getting rid of my evo for a blackberry and realizing I made a huge mistake. It's used but like new.
I go to the boot screen and it says s-off. Then I select recovery but it goes to an evo with a red triangle.
What can I do?
Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If you can acess the bootloader, I would recommend searching in the rooting wiki and look for a PCIMG file place that in the root of the sd card(hopefully your comp has a media reader) and insert the sd card with that file and the bootloader should detect when you select recovery.
What that file does is resets everything on the phone to stock. if you could find a RUU that might work but if your comp cant see the phone its useless i hope this helps
oh hey just stole this from a post from mattykins(thanks for the link) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060

If you're s off, your rooted. The triangle means you have no recovery. All you need to do is flash a PC36IMG of recovery, using the bootloader. Once you do that, you'll have recovery, and can flash a rom of your choice. That's it. No need to re root or ruu or anything like that. Just recovery, that's it.

This would probably be the easiest thing. DL clockwork from the market and install the recovery I prefer amon_ra it will be at the bottom under alternate recoveries. Also do a nand backup as soon as you have a recovery.
I agree with above, just get rom manager from the market and flash a recovery...simple
We're comin from a pure power source.

SUre, give me one sec to upload a file for you. And as the other guys suggested, flashing a recovery using ROM manager would be your easiest bet. HOWEVER, if you dont have the SUPER USER app, (which i bet you do not), rom manager wont work. t herefore you cant flash anything with it.
So give me one sec, and i'll upload what you need to flash, with instructions for ya
EDIT: I attatched a recovery for you. It's Amon Ra V2.3. Download the PC36IMG, and leave it named exactly as it is. Place the file on the main directory (root) of your sd card. Power your phone off completely. Then boot to the bootloader by holding the power and volume down buttons simultaneously. When it gets to the bootloader, after a sec it will scan for files, and find the PC36IMG. It will then ask you if you want to update, so select yes (volume UP). Once it's done flashing, it'll ask you to reboot. Select no. Then choose the 'recovery' option from the bootloader menu. You should now successfully boot into Amon Ra V2.3 recovery. From that point, you can create a backup of your current setup. Then you can perform a full wipe, and then flash the rom of your choice.
And what ever you do DON'T restore a nandroid from your old phone. You will wipe out your 4g if the wimax partition is included in the nandroid.

You're welcome. Never a problem at all. Let us know if you need any more assistance getting things up and running.
Ok that worked. I now have Amon ra recovery
But, lol, one more question. Amon ra has changed since I've had an evo.. now when I select backup, it has a list of things I want to back up with "[x]" next to them. Which items should I select? It didn't have that feature in the past so I'm a little lost.

Right, that feature was added after version 1.8.0 (which I still use). I believe you want to check all of the boxes, for your first backup. (I'm not sure if you need to have everything checked after that, but I'm sure it couldn't hurt). I've seen people say that you only need to back up your wimax one time, then keep the file in a safe place (it's your RSA keys), however I just can't see what the problem is with backing it up each time. I kind of like the simplicity of 1.8.0, just hit backup and let it do it's thing. Whatever the heck 1.8.0 automatically backs up on its own, works perfectly fine for me, lol.
So I would just check everything off, and then let it perform the backup.
EDIT: and sorry I don't have more info on that for ya. I'm sure someone else who regulrarly uses ar 2.3 will chime in, and give you a more solid answer. I just simply don't use that recovery, as I never saw a need to 'upgrade' from 1.8.0, because it has always worked flawlessly for me. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'd say you could use 1.8.0 if you wanted to, but I believe it won't work on the 004 hardware phones with the 0040000 size erase block.
Ok cool.
Thanks again
And yes i remember the simple way, things are supposed to get easier as time goes on, not more complicated, haha!

Download newest ROM and kernel, put on SD card. Hope you are using Amon Ra. Wipe cache, dalvik, system, boot, data, Android.secure, sdext, everything except for SD card - twice.
Flash ROM then kernel. Reboot. Do fresh installs of apps.
Did you restore apps with Titanium Backup?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
No I use clockwork mod recovery and I fresh install my apps. I see no point in using titanium backup when I don't do a whole lot with them. And this is the final version of 2.3.4 for this rom and the 2.3.5 beta isn't working well with my phone. It disables my 3g and doesn't allow me to download even from the market

Like tropicalbrit said: Try Amon-Ra and do the wipe with it and see how it works. I get better results always with that recovery, that is why I use it instead of Clockwork.
How do I permanently install amon ra? I can flash it through rom manager but it always boots me into clockwork mod even though it says its successful

Follow this page, is for Amon-Ra recovery. It will show you how to install it in your card so you can run it on the phone.

I used a wipe all file while trying to flash a rom. By accident I hit the reboot option after it finished. now I can get to bootloader but when I try for recovery my splash screen shows for a second then goes back bootloader. Also my computer is in the shop. Is anything I can do

You can do to the dev section, find the amon ra thread, download the recovery in PC36IMG form then flash it in the bootloader.

Just make sure its on the root of your sd card, and its named PC36IMG [it'll already be a zip file].
#1 reason why I do NOT use wipe scripts. Both times i did, my Recovery was corrupted
I've also used flash GUI to flash recovery right in android...

Download from XDA and it's free...can use to flash recovery and kernels..
Also if you checkout HipKat's guide

he mentions having a folder system on your SD card that you save things like kernels, roms, utilities. And others. I have my among ra saved in there..makes it a lot easier finding stuff..

I think my dropbox links might be working now. Go to my sig and click on CWR and download it. Open folder and put the update.zip (it is 1.7mb and make sure it is labeled Update.zip and not CWR.zip) on the root of your Internal_sd so it the only thing labeled update.zip on there. Make sure you have whatever ROM you are going to flash on your External SD card and know where it is. If you have the Superuser.zip on your internal, then move it off.
Boot into stock recovery (blue) and scroll down to Reinstall Packages. Hit it and let it cycle through. It will come back to stock recovery (blue) . Scroll down and hit it again. It will cycle again but this time it will go from blue to green (CWR) . Scroll down to Install from SD and find your ROM you wanted to flash and hit it. Follow whatever ROM's OP.
If for some reason my links aren't working, go to Noob guide stickied on Q&A and download Option B and follow same directions as above.
