Need help flashing Amon RA

First off I want to thank the unrevoked team and everybody who posts on this site, you guys are awesome and tons of help.

I have been reading a lot of articles, but this is my first post. I admit I am somewhat new to all of this.

I just downloaded and rooted my evo using the unrevoked 3.3, but I was reading in this thread and others that the clockworkmod recovery included in this version of unrevoked does not work with the older partition (which is what my phone has).

As such I do not want to attempt to flash a new rom until I replace the recovery with Amon Ra 1.8.0. I was reading in the thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026&highlight=Amon+Recovery+Custom

I have tried to use adb shell using the flash_image command, but keep getting "flash_image: not found" or something to that effect. So I tried the flashboot command, it took me along time to get this to work properly, kept telling me that a dll file was missing. Finally got that all sorted and now when I run it, it pushes the recovery and then states: "booting...FAILED (remote: not allowed).

I searched for this error but did not find anything helpful.

Any thoughts or ideas on how I can get the Amon Ra recovery to load on my phone would be greatly appreciated.

[EVO 4G Android Development] TeePoppa:
Downloaded the new Unrevoked 3.3 and ran it on my release day Evo 003 that was updated to 3.70 HBoot 2.10 and everything went smoothly. The CM recovery does show the distortion but boots into recovery with no problem. I was able to run the full backup as well. The ROM I'm running recommended using amon_RA recovery for installation so just flashed it from Rom Manager. Everything is working fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TeePoppa:
Did you try loading the amon_RA recovery image to the root of your sd card and flashing new recovery from Rom Manager? That's how I did it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894331 The first post of this thread has a command you can run to see which partition your phone has. I have read through a lot of stuff today, so forgive me if I am off on this. But I believe you can just download a terminal emulator app from the market and run that cat command it has in that post. The results will tell you what partition you have.

From reading the posts above, it sounds like despite the fact that clockworkmod will not let us flash roms currently, that we could use it to flash the Amon Ra recovery to replace it? Is that correct? If so, all I have seen are image files for the 1.8.0 Amon Ra that I need and it looks like the recovery wants to flash a zip file...do I just need to zip up amon ra, place it on the root of the sd card and choose from recovery? I don't want to brick my phone or take it offline with a stupid mistake.

Guys just so you know in a couple of the other post for rooting 2.02 and 2.10 there are posts with the new Amon for hardware 003/004 and new HBOOt's. If you download the one from the website listed above it is for the older HBOOt's. Unfortunately the two different Amon's are not labeled differently and I do not believe he host it on his xda site or get it from here... This is the modified recovery just rename it to PC36IMG.zip http://www.multiupload.com/H89AODJPP5

[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:


I believe flashing amon via rom manager gives the old version of amon. If your evo has the newer partition size, you need the modified version. Use terminal emulator and type 'cat /proc/mtd' if it's 40000 then you you need the modified version.

any help plz?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Joshnor713:
But how do you install it? You just rename it to PC36IMG.zip and let the bootloader install it? Will it override the current Clockworkmod recovery I have? Sorry, I've never done this before.

Oh, and is it normal to see funky lines in Clockworkmod recovery?

flash latest clockwork before you download the rom?

try downloading and flashing alternate recovery in rom manager.

So I tried to root my EVO with the new HBOOT last night and no luck (Using unrEVOked of course). I tried everything this morning. System restore and the whole 9.

I was starting to get frustrated. Then I figured I try a different USB cable. The one I was using was one I purchased at the Sprint Store and I had an OEM from a replacement phone laying around. Tried the OEM and it worked in seconds.

Point of the this cool story bro's, try a different cable.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jct522:
I was able to flash the Fresh ROM through ROM Manager right after rooting but was unable to flash any other ROMs after that. Can't figure out what the problem is. I tried Myks, EViO and Azraels and all of them aborted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jcdisciple:
I tried Myn's Beta 5 and and RLS 4 and I got the aborted line through the Recovery. Haven't used ROM Manager yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] generalExpert:
For some reason both the latest ClockworkMod and Rom Manager weren't working properly for me, so here is what I did.

Download an older ClockworkMod, like version 2.5.x.x and put it on the root of your SD card. The file must be named "PC36IMG.zip". Turn off your phone and restart with the vol down and power button. This will get you into hboot. Once there hboot will auto search for that PC36IMG file and ask you to start update. Hit yes and you now have a working version of ClockworkMod. Confirm this by going into recovery and checking. Rom Manager may not recognize that you have flashed back to a diff version and still show 3.0.0.x.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jct522:
For those of you who are having problems flashing ROMs, i was having the same problem. Here is what i did and it worked perfectly.

I went into ROM manager and switched over to RA Recovery v1.8.0

It took about 2 secs to switch over. Then i booted into recovery and flashed a different ROM and it worked perfectly. It is definitely a problem with the new cwm that is causing us not to be able to flash new ROMs.

Hopefully that helps for any of you who were having the same problem as I was.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jcdisciple:
I did this. It worked. I was able to flash Myn 5, but it seems as if it kept old apps I used in Myn 4 after I did a factory wipe. Looks like it didn't wipe the data?

Perhaps format the SD card?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Justin.G11:
Once you're rooted you're done ... there's no reason to keep running newer unrevoked as they come out. If you're still on stock sense just grab Rom Manager from the market and it can flash new recoveries as needed (it can even flash RA Recovery if that's your flavor).

[EVO 4G Android Development] linuxman111:
Thanks for the reply Justin.

No, I wasn't wondering about getting root again, but I was concerned because of this in the changelog:

"Backed ClockworkMod down to 2.x series on EVO 4G; now 2.6.0.1."

Do I now need to downgrade my ClockworkMod down to 2.x as well or is it ok to keep on my current version? I searched but couldn't find anyone who asked the same question, although I thought for sure I would. How does this effect me if I'm on a different version than 3.31?

Also, I have the same problem as another poster mentioned. I appear to have root, s-off and all, and I can even use wireless tether with no problem. But when I try and use Titanium Backup it says it can't get root. I can see an entry on the superuser app and it shows TB but still, TB won't work.

PLEASE HELP??

Again, thanks for all the help. !!!You guys are awesome!!!

Yeah, a quick search for "buttons" or "creaking" and you'll find you're not alone. I saw a gentleman that had sprayed some lube, giggity, and it resolved it for him.

I had creaking on the edge, between the silver bezel and the white plastic. I carefully applied tape to the white and silver, leaving only the slight space in between; and then dropped some Gorilla Glue (super glue) in there. My phone/case/frame creaks no more.

My back button is starting to creak and I might look into the lube, again, giggity, but it's just the nature of the beast. You got the good display, so consider it a win, no doubt. :)

[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Yes, when using the one click roots, you get a lot of options.

One being rooting the phone w/ cwm redirector.

And another that gives you the option to unroot the phone.

So basically, use the same method to unroot it as you do to root it, although choosing the correct option.

Simple as that
