Update Clockworkmod via ROM Manager like a stupid coon, now it won't boot into recovery mode. I might have deleted my Updater.zip file on accident or the update did that? I'm unsure. Some help would be appreciated, and if someone could upload the Updater.zip file also so I can see if that helps?

Am I allowed to self bump?
*does it anyway*
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I am in the same boat, so I will bump as well. I unlocked via HTCDev.com if that makes a difference.
On hindsight, should add more to the story:
Unlocked via HTCDev.com.
Flashed cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img via fastboot
Flash su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip via recovery
Installed ClockworkMod
Attempted to install recovery via CWM, as it would not let me take a ROM snapshot without it
Now I am unable to boot into recovery mode. Attempted to manually flash recovery with CWM 5.0.1.0, CWM 4.0.1.5, and TWRP 1.0.2 with no success. All attempts to get into recovery mode bypass and go straight into the normal mode boot.
just like a dumb ass I did the same thing u guys did exactly now the **** don't work it won't go into recovery now I'm sitting here like ain't dis a *****
Are you trying to boot into recovery through rom mananger or by holding vol down and power button? Have you tried battery pull?

Did that, it works now, flash the older 4.0.1.4 of CWM to fix, all other versions/other recoveries don't work.
@titans10 yes, we did those steps..

I think too!
Because I flashed official recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-shooter.img and
recovery-clockwork-5.0.1.0-shooter.img to my phone via fastboot
and no ones works.
So I think official clockwork recoverys only available for cdma EVO 3D at the
moment.Same for TWRP recoverys.
Only recovery which works for EVO 3D gsm,I think,is
cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img,which made by Revolutionary.

Try open Rom Manager Again, and Select the First option, to Flash Recovery Again! If you have a WiFi connection you can Connect to, Try that Before Flashing the Recovery Again... Sometimes if you have a shaky signal you'll get a Bad Download!
GoodLuck!
Today is opened my Rommanager and try to flash cwm and now there is also a GSM version. And I can say it works like a charm.
CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 for GSM EVO 3D available in ROM Manager actually. However, it has the famous power-off-no-charging bug.

At first,I get S-Off via Revolutionary tool!Then I flashed "cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img" via fastboot and "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" from sdcard.
But after downloading and install ROM Manager from Market it wont let me install
the new recovery img!
Phone freezes or get off and only boot to the HTC splash image.
I also tried to flash "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned.zip",but same problem.
Only solution to get phone working again,I did restore the backup of my
stock ROM!
Anybody have same problems with ROM Manager?

I'm on a CDMA EVO 3D and I ran the revolutionary s-off process.
I would think the process would be the same between the CDMA and GSM versions, but I could be wrong.
I've seen on his twitter feed he has been making updates to the recovery. I had no issues opening the app, pressing download latest recovery and then pressing reboot into recovery. Worked flawlessly for me.
Does ROM Manager download the new recovery properly? Does it say it flashed the new recovery successfully? Does it reboot into the new recovery?
Which part of the process is not working for you?
The more detail you can provide the easier it'll be to help troubleshoot!

I am guessing that you have a GSM phone since you have a Deutschland flag? I don't think that the CMW recovery in Rom Manager works on GSM, only CDMA. There is a recovery in the GSM section that is based on the CMW recovery. If I am wrong, let me know.

Boot into recovery menu works with ROM Manager,but can`t download
and install the newest cwm recovery!
The statusbar of downloading and installing the recovery shows always 0%
for 10 or 15 minutes and then phone freezes.
Maybe the mobile network is the problem,because ROM Manager says we should
use Wi-Fi connection!
Is there a way we can download the image of Clockwork separate from using ROM manager?

i had the same problem when flashing cwm to my evo 3d gsm. phone froze and had to do a stock restore.
you mentioned that it requires wifi to download correctly? did you by any chance try that?
Can`t test Wi-Fi connection,at the moment no internet at home
But I flashed official recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-shooter.img and

Anyone having success in installing Clockwork manually through the Terminal Emulator? I installed the flash_image file, placed the image in the root of the sdcard, ,su'ed, entered flash_image recovery /sdcard/clockwork.img, but for the life of me it won't recognize the file giving the stupid no such file error. Grrrrrrrr....
What's bugging me is that this is how I did it for 2.3.3 while I was rooting it. Makes me want to throw something.
Not tested yet ,but why you don`t flash it as "PG86IMG.zip" from sdcard
via booting into bootloader?
Example attached:
Appreciate the link Ganii, but I enjoy doing it manually. However, I did find a substitute method that will install it without leaving the native android GUI. It's joeykrim's flash image gui app. It's pretty good and works great.Makes me a little bit lazy, but it'll have to do until I find a blog.so file.
Help me please some one. I am having a similar problem with my EVO 3D CDMA. I rooted via HTC method, install CWM, ROM Manager and every thing was fine. ROM Manager got a updated to flash latest CWM to 5.0.2.0. Didn't notice anything at first, but when I try to boot into CWM my phone just reboots itself instead of recovery. So I'm guessing I don't have any type of recovery. Someone please help me fix this!!!! Also one more ?, I am kinda new to all this I had a blackberry before getting the EVO 4G then move on to to the 3D anyway if I run the RUU will that erase my SD card?

Go back into rom manager scroll to the bottom and flash alternate recovery amon-ra's, its much better than clockwork on the 4g, or use the instructions I posted above and do it through android commander. Also make sure fastboot is off under settings power...
So I was walking my girlfriend through rooting her new Evo3D, and we couldn't get the phone to get past the 'MI' logo, so I figured it was a kernel thing. After four kernels and two versions of MIUI I realized that it wasn't the issue, it was the hboot.
She didn't back up, she has only had it since last night. I now know what I need to do to flash the ROM, but how can I get her back to stock so I can get the app needed?
Any help?
She has HBOOT 1.5, right?
Go back to the folder where you did all the rooting. Get the stock MIUI kernel (boot.img from the flashable zip) and place it in that folder. Open up a cmd and navigate to that folder.
Boot her phone into fastboot mode. (Vol down + power while the phone is off. Hit power button to select fastboot once it goes into bootloader) Plug the phone into the computer via USB
Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' in the kernel. If it successfully flashes, you are done! MIUI should boot up now that it has the appropriate kernel. You will need to do this for any ROM you flash.
As long as you have a recovery, just flash whatever rom you want through fastboot and the kernel will stick.
Or just download a stock rooted rom and flash that the same way you just tried to flash MIUI. It will work since you still have the original kernel.

Well, ROM's cant be flashed through fastboot. The ROM is flashed through recovery. Then you go to fastboot and flash the kernel with my guide above. After that, everything should be working fine.

(Awesome response time BTW)
Roms are flashed through fastboot just by loading your recovery into fastboot.
I never flash roms and kernels separately. Just go into fastboot, load your recovery, and flash as you normally would.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I had something similar when flashing MIUI. if you boot the recovery.img from fastboot it should work. you may want to re download just in case of a bad download.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I'm having the same problem as epicchase. have attempted to flash miui many times. at first i tried to do it through my recovery. it didn't work. then i tried to use the fast boot method and flash it from the recovery that i opened from fast boot. i'm quite frustrated. it just wont boot miui, is it the kernel, i'm new to rooting in general but i think i know what i'm doing. i have spent who knows how many hours trying everything i can. i tried flashing the boot.img and the ROM separately. I have successively flashed android revolution hd, but that's no fun, its nearly the same as the stock ROM any suggestions would be appreciated. it boots but i guess it must be a boot loop but idk all i know is it freezes in the middle of the boot animation.
ps. i am rooted using the htc official method (unfortunately) and am s-on)

Did you do a full wipe before you flashed? Find Virus's Superwipe tool (.zip), boot to recovery with fastboot, flash the superwipe.zip, then flash MIUI.

well it didn't work it did the same exact thing. I've been giving it about 10 mins to attempt to boot is that long enough?

okay well i tried to flash cyanogenmod 7 still no dice. I must be an idiot, sorry for being a noob.
this is what im doing.
im placing the .zip on root of my sd card. then opening my cmd.
i then type " cd c:\android" (i saved the recovery image in a folder named android) it says
"c:\android" just as it should i then type "fastboot boot recovery.img"
it restarts my phone in recovery
i press install .zip from sd card then click wipe cache and dalvik cache it goes and does its work
i then select the superwipe.zip it says flash compete however it says error or something but i just kind of ignored it.
i then select my miui.zip that i got from www.miui.us
i then select install .zip files the first thing that comes up is "md5 check fail- ignoring" and the continues and flashes (i have no clue what that part means but i continue anyway)
i select reboot and it starts to boot my phone i get the white screen with green htc.
i then get the miui boot animation for anywhere from 2-5 seconds and then it freezes.
i sit and nearly just stare at it and the clock. i wait at least 5 mins but have waited up to 30 mins.
the boot animation never restarts i just freezes there making me think it is not a boot loop (however the definition of an actual bootloop is slightly vague to me.)
anyway thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions i will be very happy for now im just gonna run my android revolution hd rom.
If superwipe isn't working, fastboot to recovery, go to the wipe menu, not install a zip, wipe dalvik, cache, and factory reset. Don't do the factory reset in android, do it in recovery. I'm guessing you got a corrupt download of superwipe, I would redownload it and try it again if I were you.
Try using this one.

twrp 1.1.1 is the latest non-touch twrp recovery. if you want cwm, go to clockworkmod.com, go to rom manager, and look for evo 3d on the list of devices. 5.0.2.0 is the latest non-touch cwm recovery, and I would not recommend using cwm touch recovery.
you can also download rom manager from the play store and using the app to flash cwm recovery

HI, I'm new here.
I just recently rooted my new HTC EVO 4G LTE and installed ROM manager so that i could back up my phone. i flashed clockwork mod recovery with-in ROM manager but when i hold the power and vol down button it just boots normally.
I've also tried the vol up button as well but neither work. I'm i missing a step?
Thanks for help in advance

Clockwork mod isn't fully supported on EVO LTE.
Download TWRP recovery in the development subforum, go into downloader and flash it.
Or, just use regaws root method. Even if you're rooted, it will flash twrp for you.
Hope that helps.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I think you can use goo manager app to install twrp as well. Then just power down and you hold volume down + power, the cap lights will flash, once they are done flashing release the buttons and press and hold them again and it should boot into the bootloader where you can select recovery. Kind of weird but it works. Also, your phone will boot normally once after you install a recovery for some reason even if you try to get in. After that you can get it no problem.
The videos in the regaw root method show everything really, really well. I suggest watching one.

I've tried flashing recovery via Odin and CWM Recovery and it will reboot into recovery just fine. However, when I let it reboot into android, turn it off, and then go back into recovery, CWM is gone. The phone, however, stays rooted.
Any idea what could be wrong or how to fix this?
Secondly, if I can get into CWM immediately after flashing, is it safe to flash a new ROM at that point or do I need to get CWM to stick first?
Anyone? Any suggestions at all will be appreciated

Sure... You can flash a rom immediately following the flash of cwm.... Did you also install busy box?
Which cwm are you trying to use? 5.8.4.7 seems to do me good....?

Before your phone boots after installing cwm in Odin do a battery pull then boot into recovery （Volume Up+Home+power) then flash your superuser/root package. It will stick then.
