I finally got root, but had to use ra recovery. Should I load clockwork on top of it?

there is no ra recovery for the evo 3d. your best choices are team win recovery project or clockwork mod recovery.
they won't load on top, they will overwrite the previous. same process as flashing a kernel.
hope that helps
You might want to check an see what is really going on with your phone. You can NOT have Amon Ra Recovery our you said. There are only 2 options, Clockwork and Team Win. I use Team Win (TWRP) and prefer it over CWM

My bad, teamwin. In the rooting process, clockwork failed, so I did the backup plan with teamwin recovery.
I own clockwork rom manager, but it doesn't play well with the 3d.
My ultimate goal is a better camera application for 3d. I spoke with camera360, an its no time soon.

I use TWRP. Team Win spent a good bit of time in design and functionality and it's great. Haven't used CWM in a while since my EVO 4G...

Ok I'm worried because I read some forums today saying that clockworkmod recovery will give more chances to brick your phone so I want to know which recovery is best to use

I'm using amonra and have read some of the same things. I'd love for someone to let me know what the difference is. I'm also curious why ROM Manager makes you use Clockwork.

RA is the only recovery to use CLOCKWORK has given people bricks....me included. It didn't happen right away I had been using CLOCK for about a month and a half before i had problems with it.
Amon RA no question

you can use amon_ra with rom manager ..... it gives you the option of installing amon_ra
ROM manager has always said "Needs Clockwork mod" for me...
I used clockwork recovery image with the rom manager for a little while, mainly just because it was easier then flashing an image manually.
after a couple times of nandroid backups not working, and the talks of how it bricks the eris, I sucked it up and installed Amon_Ra's. never had a problem with it.
I get the same. Maybe the option shows up with the paid version'

and you could flash roms using armons recovery via the interface in rom manager? i think thats what they were getting at. not just flashing the recovery.
Which recovery do you plan to use with your 3VO? CWM or TWRP?
Please tell us if you are a Dev, Cook or regular XDA user
TWRP until there are OTHER options then I shall evaluate them all.
I'm just a user here @Xda-Developers and I'm planning on using TWRP unless an alternative appears that everyone thinks is more beneficial.
I am a dev, most likely will use my own recovery, I installed TWRP right now to see if I like it or not.
Team Win... ROM Cook...

Is the teamwin recovery lots better than cwm? I installed clockwork no problem but if others think it would be more beneficial to install the other then I feel like I should do that. Also I don't know how the support will be for cwm and our device. Anyway, any info would be appreciated.
I am using TWRP. I like the feel of it.

CWM, regular user...can i just use the TWRP image and put it on my sd card and flash it thru hboot or do i have to use ADB?
I am power xda/user/tweaker/techie and have always used and liked ClockworkMod Recovery. Luckily, I was one of few that the Revolutionary exploit worked when pushing CWMR to my Evo 3D! :-D
Fining for me some MIUI and CyanogenMod ROMs!!
Cwm
Flashed with s-off...worked fine for me...

I plan to use TWRP on my HTC EVO 3D. If amon develops one, i may check it out also. I have never been a fan of CWM.
Regular xda reader/follower. TWRP.
while i was rooting it asked me if i wanted to install cwm automatically so i did cus i didnt want to mess with adb and now all this talk about twrp is making me regret it.... can i just flash twrp through cwm???
teamwin for now, if amon_ra comes along ill switch to it.
ClockworkMod works just fine for me.
Teamwin atm

I used the revolutionary methods to gain root and choose to download and install the recovery. Turns out its a CWM recovery by AlphaRev. It looks like every other CWM but blue in color. Then I notice that there is a recovery by TeamWin. Well which one should I use? I can't find the .img for the AlphaRev recovery, only the TeamWin one.
Which one has a better backup/restore and which one has a better compression (smallest size)?
In case anyone is looking for the CWM for AlphaRevx v4.0.1.4 that comes with the Revolutionary that some haven't been able to flash, here it is---Choose the SHOOTER:

I haven't tried this because my flash was successful, but this is the version that is currently running on my rooted 3D.
I never used CWM on my OG EVO, I always used Amon RA. Use teamwin recovery, it is nice.
There is a zip file attached to the first post in their thread that can be flashed in hboot, it the pg86100.zip. Just put it on root sd card and boot to hboot. Once there it will load the image and it will ask to flash image and press volume up, reboot when done and your good to go.

Yeah, that's for the TeamWin recovery. Some people may want to stay with CWM because it has always worked for them. Just trying to show people that it still available in the link I supplied
Which recovery has less problems? I just read in the TWRP post that there is a battery % issue that shows it at 10%.

It think the battery issue is purely comestic. They added this to their recovery since CWM didn't have this. The bug is that it always says 10% or 99%. Not a problem if YOU make sure you have enough juice on your phone before doing any recovery stuff.
We won't know which has more problems until people have had a chance to evaluate TWRP for days/weeks. The CWM recovery has been out for a while now, but people are making changes to it to suit their needs.
o so its only within the recovery that battery is messed up, not while the phone is on and running android?

Correct. While your up and running your fine. That will only be displayed during recovery. As soon as they get the kernel fix they will update it.

Not sure about that....I read that too, but mine was accurate. It showed 96%. So, it may be a battery stat issue, bad battery, etc. I have no issues with that aspect.
I'd love to have Amon Ra recovery on the EVO 3D, had it on my OG EVO and it worked flawlessly. I never used Clockworkmod on the OG EVO, I'm wondering if I should switch to twrp or not...
I've used clockworkmod on my nexus s and this and never had a problem. Several friends use this recovery on other phones and it seems to work great. I don't understand why everyone is going against it
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Well in earlier clockworkmod versions of the EVO 4G it had problems like not wiping correctly and such and people just didn't use it and avoided any problems.
When I first rooted my EVO I started out with Amon Ra and never used clockworkmod, so I never experienced any issues at all.
So I was just wondering if there was anything to gain by switching to TWRP from Clockworkmod.

I agree, I never used it either. I've never had issues with either Amon or CWM but I saw issues others were having and I primarily used Fresh roms and flipz recommended using Amon_ra so that's what I did. I installed CWM while rooting, it seems fine. I installed twrp just to play around with it, it seems fine as well. I'll probably stick with twrp until, if and when, there is an amon_ra for the EVO 3D but I'm sure that either would work fine.
CWM F'd up on my Nands. Then i was stuck with a ROM-less phone. Screw CWM. Oh yeah, TeamWin FTW!

I really liked CWM on my Dinc, but they both seem pretty similar to me for the most part. Amon might have a few more options from the looks of it, but I have yet to try CWM for the Rezound back I heard it was kinda spotty. Once it's more stable I'll give it a go and see which one I like better. I'm just glad to finally have a recovery available
I liked cwm for my Dinc, but running amon ra now on my Rezound. It really is no difference except for small nuisances. And like the previous poster, I am just glad that we can get a recovery now.

Yup...it's as easy as flashing the boot.img in fastboot like you did to flash CWM.
I'm currently using AmonRa but have used CWM since I got my Incredible. I'm kinda liking AmonRa right now so I may stick with it.

That's what I'd like to know also. If I try one recovery and then decide I wanna use a different recovery, is it possible to flash the new recovery over the older one?

+1. That pretty much covers it all. One point is that it was a lot easier to read the screen in CWM on my Incredible than it is with RA Vigor. I have to put my reading glasses on every time or I can't see what's on the screen.

Yes just flash the new one.
Going to re-root again and probably ROM again, debating between TWRP and Amon Ra, is one any better than the other?
Probably going to ROM with Infection or XenonHD, is either one preferred with those ROMs?
Twrp is more updated and in newer ROMs there may be an update system included and to have the update automatically install for you when you click update, the recovery needs to support something called "open script" I believe that's what its called. And amon ra doesn't support that but twrp and cwm do, I actually switched from amon ra to twrp and I like it way better and the open script comes in handy when you don't want to manually install zips or updates.

Awesome, sounds like a good enough reason for me to give TWRP a shot. Thanks.
I was using TWRP for a while with no issue and liked it. Then for some reason it started having an issue with not restoring new backups. Didn't try to reinstall but moved to CWM Touch. I like it but backups are not compatible between the two and TWRP does have more features.

Quick question, can twrp be flashed over amon ra? And to Ace, if you look in the Infection thread I believe Neo recommends flashing with amon ra.

Doesn't CWM Touch have the dead battery bug where it won't let the battery charge if it goes completely dead? Or has that been fixed, it would be real deal breaker for me...

Yes. I prefer twrp but occasionally run into a rom/kernel that won't flash. I keep amon ra to flash on those occasions then reinstall twrp with the goomanager app

I've never had problems with twrp on backups or installs. I've only used and been on the latest 2.5.0.0 version though
So idk if you we're on a older version or something
And you should be able to flash a recovery on top of another it just replaces the recovery.img and ROM performance shouldn't be effected by the recovery. That doesn't really make sense so use the one you want
