Being as TWRP days are numbered and amon ra isn't really active any longer it looks like CWM is the last of the mohicans for the moment.... Does anyone know the lastest version or even better a download link for the PC36IMG.

You probably won't get many responses other than you need to 'search' before you ask so I will say the same, Google and search is your friend but do yourself a favor and don't use CWM and use Amon Ra instead. Less headaches later.

Thank you... I did search for about an hour however there seems to be no centralized location for it and no real way of finding the lastest version... The link you provided has a version 3 however Goo-inside.me has a version 5. I see CWM is not well regulated.

I would assume the best way if you truly want CWM is download Clockwork Rom Manger from the Market and install the recovery from there. That is what I usually did in order to get the newest version etc.
Yeah... Thanks again. I guess I'll be doing it that way... I really don't want CWM but that seems to be the last one standing for the moment. I like amon ra but its not getting updated so its days are numbered and TWRP is pretty much done for support ... TWRP 2 has some problem that has Kevin telling EVO owners to go back to TWRP 1 or some other recovery so that's not good.

Did you actually read the link that waterbound posted for you for Amon RA? That's the latest version, and is being actively developed.
If your problem is not knowing where to find the latest version, that's easy enough to solve.
Amon Ra doesn't need to get updated. It's fine as it is

Clockwork has a website too, don't have the link onhand but u can get to it thru the new no root tether that koush released the amon RA style recovery is currently being actively developed and has full capacitive function saving your volume and power hardware buttons alot of stress, I'm currently using v3.11 and it works great v3.10 had an error wiping sdext but versions 3.07 3.08 and 3.11 work great and its seems to be getting updates every week or so
Edit: twrp 2 has been oddly turning security back on in bootloader and bricking some evos when flashing a rom that's y it is recommended to go back to v1 unless you want to run the risk of having a fancy paperweight

Hey guys... What's your opinion of the advantage of Amon Ra over the others? I've used CW and TWRP and had 100% success with CW and problems with TWRP (gets stuck losing recovery console sometimes and failed recoveries).
Other than wearing out my mechanical buttons on the phone, CW is great.
So what's the deal with AR?

I'm the same way! Clockwork Recovery is fine and all, and it gets the job done well enough. But I'm only using it because its the only option available.
I swore by Amon_RA back with my Nexus. I LOVED the fact that people made themed/different colored versions of Amon_RA and it was just better formatted/layout/buttons then Clockwork.
I, too, would love an RA-Recovery as it is so much cleaner than clockwork.
Anyone know what would actually be involved in making this happen? I'm guessing a version from another Galaxy S would be a good start?
I know NOTHING about making this work...just curious if their is any kind of update? Devs anyone working on this? God I hope so

This has been answered a hundred times. We, over at ACS, initially attempted to make this happen. The port was above us as our devices are so different than any htc device. It essentially has to be rebuilt from source. We even attempted to get the creator involved in order to help. The problem we have is he lives in europe. Obviously with the epic being cdma, there is a problem. The device is not accessible to him. Amon_ra is more than likely not going to happen.
That's to bad too. Amon Ra is so much better then clockwork. But at least you guys tried. Thanks ACS
Nice 6 month old zombie thread.
FYI
I'm not sure if this is well known or not, but the lastest Clockwork recovery available in ROM Manager has SLCD support. I just decided to take a leap of faith and flash it in and it booted right into recovery, no letterbox looking screen!!
Just thought I'd share that! So for those of you who have been scared to flash it, go right ahead
I've Been On CWM On My SLCD For Almost A Month Now.. (Thats When I Got My Phone)
yeah you and everyone else.... but many of us have been using an older version, and according to multiple postings, CWM released a new version on the 26th (2.5.1.2) with SLCD support, because 2.5.0.0 and up never worked on SLCD - at least not for me.

No, there isn't.
CWM Update caused me a world of hurt.
I noticed that there was an update to it when I went into RM last night.
I installed it and now I cant access recovery, when I try to boot my phone I get HTC Sense FC's to the point where the phone cannot be used.
So....
I cant access recovery to revert to a back up....Do I put "S-On" and flash an image of 2.2 RUU and start over or is there an easier way to rise from the ashes...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll let you know how it goes. Only reason I switched to clockwork is the girlfriend's NS4G. If she is having problems, it is easier to walk her through corrective steps if we are looking at the same menus. Still prefer RA, but we'll see how it goes.

So far it is much better than any previous versions. I did my first flash with it this morning and had no issues. When I was on previous versions, I had issues with every flash...
Once TWRP is updated and their Front End app is out, I will have to decide what combo to go with...
I haven't used it yet. I wanted to learn a little more about what changed first.

Major changes:
Backups now use tar over yaffs for everything except mtd partition. Backups got way faster.
Backups now preserve the filesystem type at time of backup. Restores will restore the appropriate filesystem type at restore.
Silly to ask, but any screen shots?
OK, can't restore backups made with 5.0.0.0. Either get a message of md5 mismatch or md5 not present. Back to 3.0.0.5.

does clockwork backup wimax keys as of yet. I dont use it but I do tell others to load it so they can use it with Rom manager. Less steps for me to have to explain on backing up and restoring

Any bebefit of updating your hboot version? Im still on 2.10.xx,or somethin. Or does it even matter except for locking the updated bootloader. Evo 4G runnin MikG 2.5,Sense 2.1-3.0 rom with several mods & tweaks.

3.0.0.5 safe no issues and just fine no need to upgrade
Ive personally never had any issues with 3.0.0.5 if it isnt broke dont fix it!
3.0.0.5 always flashes correctly , assuming you do the correct wipes, you can go from froyo to gb and back with no issues, unlike every cwm version for galaxy s devices you brick almost everytime you go from froyo to gb and back, because the kernels dont match or some b.s
the evo 4g and 3d cwm is the best of any smartphone out
I just rooted w/Captain_Throwback - Unrevoked version, and everything checks out.
I am now interested in trying out the various ROM's out there, and was just wondering am I just restricted to the ClockWorkMod development, or can I venture out into the unknown/related to ClockWorkMod development choices...???
Cwm is just one recovery. I personally use amon ra. Most roms are signed and can be flashed with both. Just a matter of preference really.

Yeah your right Amon Ra, seems to be a better Recovery. It also gives you a lot more abilities while in HBoot, Thanks...! I will keep an eye out for signed ROM's, again thanks for the advice.

Signed or not doesn't matter with amonra. You can flash both. Its cwm that needed signed roms. Although that might have changed in the last two years since I've used cwm lol.

At OP, you said you used captain throwback method and unrevoked. I'm surprised captains method didn't include amonRA out of the box,...I know he strongly advises amon,... as do pretty much all of us on the Evo forum.
As to what you can flash, like THREESTRIPEBAND said, you can flash any rom in the Evo forum. I know I've looked at Sammy forums and was a bit confused because the rom title would specify it's a CWM ROM or Odin ROM, which I don't understand what your recovery has to do with your ROM, but it ain't like that here. (Maybe it's a kernel or signature issue when dealing with sammys ? )
Anyhow, you got tons of choices here. Happy flashing.

It does'nt matter if a rom or any other zipped file is signed or not,when you want to install it,the reason for signing is a digital signature a developer puts on his developement,so noone can edit it and say its theirs.

Oh, it does include and recommend RA recovery. However, if you don't follow my tip to have unrevoked install RA recovery, then you end up with CWM. I guess people don't like my tips .

I flashed this version over the old version and when i went to restore a rom,it sent me to the bootloader,then i tried it again,i got stuck in a bootloop,since im the kind of person that doesnt give up easy,i tried it again and it finally restored my rom,i booted back into recovery from the rom and the damned recovery went back to the old version,now how is that?Too weird,i think ill just stick with the older version for now.
Diablo, just a thought, doesn't the newer version of ra allow for backup of recovery? (I still use old ra 1.80). If so, did your nandroid contain recovery?

Yes and no.
I didn't post this on xda yet for a reason, so it would be good practice to ask the person doing the work if they want it shared broader first.
That being said, the issue with restoring has to do with the flash_image binary possible getting wiped if you're doing wiping before your restore. (<-- that's not the case)
If you just restore, it should work fine. I've pulled it offline for now until I get it fixed. Thanks. Also, if you want to help, please provide me some feedback on the rootz thread for now.
you guys should really be respectful to developers and not cross post stuff without even asking. sometimes there's a reason "why" they don't share here first. i think you just found out why in this case. is it really THAT hard to send a pm? it's not like you made the discovery of the year or something by doing this. instead you've caused people to probably have problems with their recovery that could have been avoided had you NOT put this thread on here and copied over smelkus zwiki link before HE was ready to do it himself. have fun.
