Awesome! When some Roms get listed on your database for downloading via the phone I'll buy the premium version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] watzone69:
Koush, you just made my day. Great work!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Auramaster:
Many thanks bro, worked like a charm :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] r3daction:
That link for the recovery needs to be renamed update.zip on the root of your EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sph33r:
Loving this.. thanks a lot Koush!

Can't wait for some roms to start showing up, I'll gladly drop the $$ on the premium version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toenail78:
from rom manager if you just click on reboot in recovery after installed the clockwork recovery rom there shouldnt be a need to hold up and power.. you should already be there!

to me its already worth the money to not need a pc to update my roms.. usually when a rom update is released i am at work and would have to wait till i get home to do the updates.. now i can do them straight from my phone... ohh the joy in that!
[EVO 4G Android Development] a2k:
Purchased! Great job! Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sph33r:
Good point.. I'm off to purchase it now. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Gregalous:
So, after doing this the first time, should it boot straight to the recovery menu without holding volume up + power when you click reboot to recovery in ROM manager? Cause mine's not. I'm still having to do the button combo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydonohue:
if you're talking about the new recovery (not the ROM manager thing, because i don't have it, don't know anything about it), then yes, you're going to have to use the stock recovery to load the custom recovery.

the benefit is not having to lash it to the pc, and not having to run the bat or sh file to push recovery over adb.

so...say you download a new ROM directly to your phone, you just boot into stock recovery, load custom recovery, nandroid backup, wipe, then install new ROM, all without messing with your pc at all
[EVO 4G Android Development] Gregalous:
Actually, just figured it out, after you follow the steps in the first post, then in ROM Manager click "Download Clockwork Recovery", Reboot into recovery works without any additional button-pushing :)

Awesome!
[EVO 4G Android Development] madunix:
i have root, but i can't get anything to work right for some reason??? i can get into the recovery by power+vol down, and then volume up, i want to update my radio but can't, and i want to flash a new boot but can't. why not? it won't let me do ne thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Albaholic:
Friggin' Sweet! Thanks! Rom Manager purchased from the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chumba8:

I am stuned I am going to buy rom manager just because of this koushthanks man
[EVO 4G Android Development] Koush:
Mods, please sticky!
[EVO 4G Android Development] chippillie:
Nand doesn't find back up files. At least not the old ones from toast's recovery. Says no file found.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Koush:
Right. I store the nandroids in a different location. The reasons for why I store them elsewhere is a bit longwinded, and I can answer that later if you want. Basically, your new backups made from CW/RM will be available for restore.

They're stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VandyCWG:
Awesome!!!

Thank you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] saywhat4118:
question

So let me get this straight, I cant run this at all if I EVER used unrEVOked? I did run it once but i have rebooted it many times with out installing it again. I did toast's regular root but cant seem to get the clockworkrecovery working. Thanks for any help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] angeltk:
Seeing as how you're using toast's root, and I'm not quite understanding the meaning of your question, I'll just answer every possible meaning of that..

1) If you want to just run the no-tether custom recovery option, simply download the file, rename to update.zip and dump it into your sd's root.

2) you can always flash to another rom and install rom manager that way.

3) you can wipe your cache/data to set the rom's environment to first boot via the tethered recovery, and then install rom manager..

I'm sure there are other options too, never touched unrevoked because I knew there was no way I'd stick to a stock rom =P
[EVO 4G Android Development] saywhat4118:
Oh sorry didn't mean to confuse you, yeah I just didn't want to use the computer all the time to flash new roms because I'm out often and I just download off my phone. Anyways okay i'll try that, I was just a little skeptical because I have ran unrevoked once and this thread states you can't do it if you did.

So basically update.zip then hold volume up and power?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrono:
I love the new recovery, makes it so much easier for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3taman:
So you flashed the new radio via the ROM Manager? I wasn't sure if that was possible. Did you just select the flash ROM option?

If anyone else could answer that question I would appreciate it to.

This seemed to work for me, but if I try to go into recovery, it still won't let me via toast's root method.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Merckle:
I am getting sign errors any reason why?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
it works just have to go back in and do it agian flipz it FC'D on me as well
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
cant get this to work for me :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] skunkape:
I ran the Rom Manager and installed the Clockwork Recovery Rom.

I then turned the phone off....Went into Recovery...Held Volume up and Power and I get the message

"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"

i have to then choose to apply the update.zip

it then loads the recovery rom (Flash, Wipe, Wipe Data)

this is the only way im able to get into it for some reason.

now....

if i go into rom manager and choose reboot into recovery nothing happens. If i choose reboot into recovery and reboot the phone and go into recovery, i just get the red exclamation point and nothing happens.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ebuechler3:
it was alot easier for me to rename reclock 1.8.1.7 supersonic, to reclock 1.8.1.7-update.zip, after transfering it to my sd card.... trying to rename this file on my pc was confusing because the extention (.zip) wasn't showing up.... could someone please possibly put (reclock 1.8.1.7-update.zip) in the first post so others wont get confused trying to rename it? and this works great for me!! thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3taman:
Exact same thing happened to me!

I actually couldn't get the ROM Manager to do anything for other than apply the recovery. After doing that, nothing else seemed to happen in the tool.

So I did the manual process, and was finally able to get to the recovery screen. :D

However, with that said, each time I go to recovery I get that stupid red triangle with ! screen. :mad: However, it seems if I hold up volume and select power, I can just run the update.zip each time to get back to recovery. Not the most ideal way, but it works at this point and since I couldn't get toast's recovery option to work. I'm going with it.

I now have a nandroid backup and have flashed a new ROM!

Thanks Koush for this option, your a savior!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
Where is the update.zip link? I'm on my phone browser and I can't find It anywhere.
[EVO 4G Android Development] munsterrr:
Im with both of you.

i have to go the manual way

press up and volume to bring up the blue recovery screen

no matter what i do(full wipe or not). i cannot get update.zip to work out. it aborts every time. tried three completely different roms and renamed them to update.zip......never works
[EVO 4G Android Development] saintsfan:
Okay since the computer way was not working for me anyways i would like to try this one. what are the exact steps to room using this method from stock rom? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kykiskly:
This was piece of cake for me. Thanks Dev for this :D

Question for everyone? I just did this Recovery method and did my first nandroid backup - Did you guys see how crazy that is, and noticed that the new backup location is

X:\clockworkmod\backup\xxxxxxxx.x...xx, now my question is, for those previous backup, done with the old fashion method, Toast recovery image, how do we restore those using this new method?
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Press volume up and power.
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3taman:
Don't get me wrong, going through the blue screen gets me into recovery and allows me to nandroid backup and flash zips. I just have to do an extra that not everyone seems to have to do.

Weird, but I'll live with it. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Koush:
The backups may not be compatible, which is why I put them in separate directories. The best way to do it would be to convert the backup: restore your old backup with toast recovery. Backup with new recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Thanks again Mr.Koush and Mr Paul Obrien if he had anything to do with it as well.

I know one thing when you get rid of all the sprint bloatware it really speeds everything up.

Me knowing how i took flipz stock rom and extracted it and deleted out all the sprint bloatware and zipped it back up and signed it. Because i noticed in the taskkiller those sprint apps would always like to run even with out opening them up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kykiskly:
I see, thanks for the info. I think you should put a note on that on the first post. I am sure anyone switching needs to know this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chippillie:
Thanks for your response. I didn't have a issue with it. I figured it out. I have not tried to see if the old back up will work if moved but the new one works fine. I was just hoping to avoid a ton of posts a bought it. Since the layout is different than what where used to. Didn't seem to work though.

It works great good work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oubravs2b:
As for mounting SD Card...The only options I have are:

Reboot

sdcard:update.zip

Wipe factory/reset

Wipe Cache

Am I missing something? Sorry if dumb question. Complete n00b :o

EDIT: Nevermind...I'm really on top of things today apparently!! LOL. Works great - thanks a lot!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Koush:
There should be some Evo ROMs going up on ROM Manager tonight :) Gotten a lot of developer interest!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
Can someone please help. I don't se e the link for the update.zip. I only see the http://www.droidaftermarket.com/

kous...supersonic.zip link.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Koush:
That's the zip. Rename it to update.zip (be mindful of Windows hiding file extensions). And then put it on the root of your SD card. But seriously, just do the whole thing through ROM Manager :) real easy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
Ahhh thank you sir. You are a gentleman and a schollar.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leeh41:
I've installed Rom Manager from the Market, and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, but when I hit "Reboot into Recovery" nopthing happens.... Ideas?

This is a great root method! I didn't see it through the posts...or maybe I missed it...but are we able to flash any flashable ROM through this or just the ones that are available in ROM Manager? I haven't rooted yet, still researching a bit. I'm waiting for Koni to bring Aloysius over to the EVO!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tkrechel:
Can flash any rom still, rom manager is just going to make it easier
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3taman:
Koush, I had same problem as mentioned below. It seemed to install recovery, but nothing else in the ROM Manager would work for me. It just sits there.

I ended up having to use the manual method. :confused:

Would like to be able to flash ROMs from your app...just afraid it won't be possible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Koush:
You need to flash your recovery using that button. You probably also need to fix your reboot. See the other thread regarding that in this forum.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Broken:
For some reason I am in the same boat. Booted into your clockwork recovery and followed the directions precisely on pushing the reboot file and chmod. Reboot into system and Rom Manager still will not let me reboot into recovery. I can Quickboot into recovery and run the update.zip and get into it just fine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] BuglessPete:
Added my ROM to the manager! peteralfonso.com
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dunny9352:
So with the quick boot fix and this, should be able to reboot to this custom recovery menu, from quick boot recovery shortcut?

Idk if i did it wrong but should I have to press vol up and power button at the exclamation point screen (recovery) and then load the update.zip again, every time i try to load the custom recovery menu, or should it just go straight to the custom recovery menu?
[EVO 4G Android Development] splicitysplat:
I just want to make sure I have some information right.

You can do everything from the ROM manager application, flash custom recovery and boot into that recovery in order to flash roms, backup, etc.

Is the backup ROM option from ROM manager the same thing as a nandroid backup?

It says you can flash a ROM from the application, do you have to wipe the device and cache before you do that?

If you buy the premium version you have direct access to a list of ROMs for download to root without the use of a computer?
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3taman:
Yeah, the problem is I was having issues getting recovery to install via toast's method because the windows.bat file wouldn't work for me. :confused:

I need to try and figure out why I was having problems. The only way I was able to get into recovery in the 1st place was because of your update.zip that didn't require me to use adb or the windows.bat file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sph33r:
I can't answer most of your questions because I have yet to flash anything using Rom Manager. But then again, there weren't any roms available in there until today. :D

So.. yes, if you have the Premium version, it does give you the Download Roms option. And in there, if the developers set things up right, there will be roms available to download. At the moment, the only thing available is Bugless Beast v.02. I'm hoping a lot developers embrace this process as I'm excited to have Rom Manager after hearing all the GSM guys talking about how great it is.

I can attest that after you download a rom, Rom Manager will give you options that let you backup your current rom, and wipe data/cache. These are check boxes so you don't have to do them. Unfortunately that's as far as I got because I don't have time to flash and deal with any issues that may arise. I'll be trying this process in a couple hours though.

Hope that helps a little bit.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
wow, this worked great.

now i feel a lil ridiculous i don't understand part of this process ... how are you able to have a key to sign .zip files which the htc stock recovery accepts?
[EVO 4G Android Development] My1es:
Just curious, is this going to be the standard in Recovery images? Or will there be something similar to the Amon RA Recovery or Cyanogen Recovery for the G1?

EDIT: Wow, works great.

Hey, has anyone been able to download the latest recovery? I get an error every time I try to download it. I'm on Fresh .1d currently.

EDIT: I see those users right above me have the same issue.

EDIT again (last one, I promise): The latest update from the Market fixed it! Working perfectly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] a2k:
Latest version 1.8.1.8 allows me to boot into recovery mode, however, once in recovery mode when I select reboot system now, it blanks the screen and displays the ClockworkMode Recovery menu once again.

I'm unable to reboot the phone.

Edit: had to remove the battery to reboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] awwbaw3:
power button

Yeah, me too. the power button is acting as it does in the OS and blanking the screen, instead of selecting menu items. Great work, so far, though!
[EVO 4G Android Development] awwbaw3:
Just saw 1.8.1.9 update available. If that is the fix, Koush, you are FAST!

EDIT: just did the reboot from the new version (which is perfect) and the power button is working to select menu items again!

Thanks!!! Awesome!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tkrechel:
this works so well but I guess the one negative that I have seen so far is you cant mount the sdcard while using this. Or can you? I tried to do it and it said it was in use which I guess makes sense. Maybe I did something wrong but I was trying to mount the sdcard per the instructions in the fresh rom so I could add the htc radio back. Works fine using the .bak method though so not sure. Any help is much appreciated

EDIT

Or perhaps now that I think about it, was there even any reason to use the command adb shell mount /sdcard while using this method?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tkrechel:
One more question if anyone knows cause I have yet to try it and I'm scared to until i know for sure! Can I rename the backup files like I can on toasts recovery? I'm assuming I can as long as there is no spaces etc.. Just didn't want to try it until I was sure. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Koush:
Yep, you can rename. In fact, you can rename backups within ROM Manager.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tkrechel:
thanks, Koush! how about the other post I made, is there any reason why I cant mount the sdcard? Or is it because it's already mounted which is what I was guessing? I'm still learning sorry for the dumb questions!

Fantastic tool

This is great work Koush. I haven't quite figured out how to integrate it with ROM Mgr yet but the manual method of boot to recovery, hold the volume up and press pwr btn then flash the update.zip to enter the custom recovery tool works like a charm.

I'll buy ROM Mgr and figure it out just to throw some support your way for the great work on this. To that I'd like to add a sincere Thank You Very Much!!!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Jayr00:
Problems with no answers

So I have done the newest simpleroot method, everything went fairly smoothly. Booted into rom with a few added features and apps that I noticed. However, when I downloaded the rom manager (both the free and I bought the paid version), and when I try choose the "flash clockworkmod recovery" option, I confirm my phone (Evo) and get an error message saying: "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands".

I tried several things, nothing worked, redid the simpleroot method, tried it all again, and same thing happens. Also went into recovery manually from the bootload screen and the "update.zip" file that is needed cannot be found.

I've searched and found links to a manual update.zip file download but they were all broken.

Not sure what to do or what is wrong...I'm very familiar with these things in windows mobile but I'm new to android and linux. Any suggestions / answers would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DomSim:
