CRW is now official on the Rezound. Both touch and non touch are available.
Regular: http://goo.gl/CF7LE and Touch: http://goo.gl/p0qY8
Enjoy!
You can do it through the new ROM Manager, but getting Touch that way isn't free.

Sweet. I actually have the choice between two recoveries.

Thx DSB9938.
Can some one tell me how to get this on my phone? Do you use adb and push the recovery.img to the phone in the fastboot menu? if so what is the command?
Thanks

Extract the recovery.img from the zip and while in fastboot, run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Thanks for this dsb9938. I flashed this and it works but when I am using the backup feature it hangs and I have tried it 3-4 times and it hangs at different files during the backup of the system. Just reporting it to see if anyone else is having this issue.
Thanks
I had problems with the backup also. It completed the backup, but couldn't backup my cache. went back to Amon Ra for now.
Same here I went back to Amon Ra as well and was able to backup everything with no issues. Looks like CWM will be coming out with a newer version for the Rezound I would hope.

I wasn't expecting too much from this version of CWM, and I'm sure it will get straightened out soon. Just happy to see options being rolled out so quickly.
Wasn't expecting too much? Kinda rude.
I have done several backups and restores, on several devices.
Sometimes it stops for a minute, I don't know why, but it always finishes.
If you have problems with it, there's still the other one. And I hear twerp will be out soon.
I'm sure koush will do an official build soon, I just like cwr and didn't wanna wait.

Just wanted to say, works fine; and I love you for this. Way to be impatient too!
Downloaded and installed. Ran my first backup. Will try flashing a ROM from zip shortly.
Worked like a charm, as always. The print on the phone is WAY too small for my old eyes, but other than that: perfect.
Will i be able to restore a nand backup i made from amon thru cwm? Or do i need to re backup in cwn

I didn't mean any offense. I apologize. Tried CWM again and it backed up flawlessly. Not sure what the issue was the first go around. Anyway, thank you for the release!
Mine hung during a backup as well. Going to try it again to see if the backup completes.
I've been using CWM since I began rooting so I'm glad to have this option. Thanks!
EDIT: Just ran a backup right now and worked perfectly! It was the 3rd attempt but all is good.
Any advantages of CWM vs ArA?

Are there any clear benefits of one recovery over the other? I'm a fan of TeamWin but I'm comfortable with CWM... Is either recovery clearly superior?
Preference is the deciding factor.

I'm a big fan of Rom Manager. I use it to organize my backups. I've used since day one of the OG Evo and never had a problem with it. If anyone is having any bugs, go into the market and download rom manager and update clockwork mod recovery. Mines working flawlessly!
I remember a long time ago, people claimed that clockwork recovery had a problem with wiping cache and dalvik cache. Is that still an issue? Thats the only reason I stopped using rom manager back in the day.

there shouldnt be any issues when flashing the newest clockwork right? say, making a backup in the CWM that came with REVO and then trying to restore it with the newest clockwork? i feel like that is an issue simply because i made a backup of my stock rom with the newest recovery and i got the MD5 error, and i cant restore it. im doing a full backup and restore test right now, ill report back.
EDIT:alright so i was able to do a full restore with the newest clockwork. i guess i just got a bad NAND on my stock rom. and the funny thing is the same thing happend with a stock rom on my G2. what causes this damn MD5 error?
That would be appreciated by many here... Don't want to get stuck with no way to restore

I installed TWRP, but I'd like to be able to use the CWM Rom Manger. Can I download Rom Manager from the Market, and have it install CWM over my TWRP install?
I rooted my buddies phone for him pretty much so he could use wifi tether. Told him to make a nandroid before he does anything. He said he did. He called me this am and said he tried to flash an ics ROM from Scott's site and now his phone won't boot past the HTC screen. He said he tried to retire the backup but it didn't work nor did a factory reset.
Can I just get him to flash a GB based ROM and get him back to square one or must I get an ics ROM loaded up since he already tried to get that on there?
Can I just have him load the stock ruu for GB? Where can I locate that?
He might have forgot the pg98img?? I know it happened to me when i first had ics
What did you do to fix the problem? He has never flashed anything so he probably forgot something. Just trying to figure out what I need to do to fix his phone when I see him later tonight.

Your "friend" (lol, j/k) should be able to do a battery pull, get back into recovery and then just start the process of flashing a new ROM again. Have him wipe the cache and dalvik cache first. I don't know why the nand won't restore, maybe he didn't make it properly?
Is he using Amon Ra? CWM was known to be buggy on this phone, don't know if that has been addressed. If he's using CWM then maybe he should switch to Amon Ra. iirc it can also restore a nand made in CWM.

Thanks for the reply. My rezound is running smoothly! My buddy should have hit me up before trying to flash anything but he didn't. I'm running Amom but when I tried to install it on his phone it wouldn't take so I installed cwm. He said he made a backup but it won't restore. I will try to install Amon again on his phone and see if I can get his back up to work. I have a nand on my phone off the stock ROM. Do you think I can use my sd card in his phone and try to restore that or is it phone specific? I wouldn't think it is though
I don't know about restoring someone else's nand.
Also, if he gets a mainver error check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459347
But if you flash in fastboot you don't have to worry about mainver, it will flash no problem.
You can find out what mainver the phone is on in fastboot using the following command:
fastboot getvar all
As you guys know, we can't flash boot images directly from Recovery. This makes restoring nandroid backups more difficult.
Well, not anymore. This flashable allows you to restore the boot image from a nandroid backup directly from recovery. For those of you who are experts, this duplicates the functionality of "fastboot boot recovery.img" in a self-contained zip.
To Use:
1) Flash the attached zip file
2) Press Volume UP when prompted at HBOOT
3) Reboot the Device (it will probably ask you to press power to do so)
NOTE: If the device doesn't reboot on its own, reboot "normally" not into recovery. It will take you to recovery automatically. If you go into recovery via the HBOOT menus, you still won't be allowed to restore boot images.
4) Restore your nandroid and with its boot image. It will flash this time
5) Done.
How it works:
1. Dumps your recovery image
2. Zips it into a viable PH98IMG.zip and drops it on your SD card
3. Downgrades your main version
4. Reboots to HBOOT so you can flash it
5. You then boot into unprotected recovery.

Yeah but it offers no benefit or extra ease. The way we install custom roms right now is the ideal way.
con247 thank you so much for this. I fastboot flash everything from the computer. But two guys that I help out on gtalk on a regular basis had a bunch of trouble with the PH98 process, but aren't able to use fastboot on their computers while at work.
Both guys have been using this rom very heavily going back and fourth between ICS and gingerbread, and both have confirmed this is very easy for noobs compared to the fear they have of ADB, fastboot.exe, and the cmd line.
Thanks again. You are an incredible asset to the Rezound and Android community.

It might be related to using the Amon Ra 3.14 and trying to backup android secure. Dres, just released a fix because the Devblock location changed so it borked making or restoring backups that contained android secure. Sorry , if this wasn't helpful , but I realized my backups worked because I never backup android secure. Just figure it might save you a lot of debugging when its probably on the recovery this time not the app.

I'm stuck on the backup screen. (8 or 10 lines deep where it says 'Backing up System'.)
I just noticed there is a CWM for the Rez available on Rom Manager. (My phone has been unlocked & de-bloated for several months but I never had a backup because I lacked the CWM.)
I did it & then hit backup. It flashed off & came up in the expected black screen with the code text. But the text never moved. It's locked up.
Need some advice badly.
Thanks.
I've never used CWM with this phone, but backups usually take a bit of time. If it doesn't work, I'd suggest ditching CWM (which is known to have many bugs with the Rezound), and download AmonRa. It's, in my opinion, the best recovery for the Rezound, and the only one I know of that doesn't have issues.
It's been stuck here for an hour. Can I pull the battery & not explode?
I did the amon ra back when I unlocked. Rom Manager still wouldn't ever make a backup.

I agree with the others, download amon ra and rename recovery.img, drop in fastboot folder on your computer you used when you unlocked (c:\Android or c:\Android-sdk\Platform tools probably) right click on the folder containing fastboot.exe while holding shift, and choose "open command window here."
With your phone in fastboot USB mode connected to the computer use the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG"

you need s-off because verizon or htc stopped allowing the dna to unlock its bootloader from their htcdev site
once s-off you can flash any rom, kernel or recovery
you do not need to unlock your bootloader
the link i found was dead so here is cwm touch recovery that i use http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=17561816589933340240
I think every rom available is already rooted so thats taken care of
i just read some of the guides that are up and they are outdated, so ask anythting you need here and ill help
OK sorry about that I meant s-off. So I do moonshine flash cwm and then do I have to install super user?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
nope all the roms are pre rooted with SU or superSU
but in case im wrong and you find a rom without root you can flash SU or superSU from recovery
hit "thanks" plx
simplified steps are:
1. s-off
2. flash recovery through adb
3. put the rom or rom and kernel you want on the phone and flash it in the recovery
thats it. its a bit simpler than most phones i think, especially samsungs as i just found out.
Step 1. S-off via Moonshine.
Step 2. Flash a recovery. I think the absolute easiest way is using this toolkit. This toolkit couldn't get any easier to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219175
Step 3. Flash whatever ROM you choose. I personally love ViperDNA.

once you have the recovery installed you can choose "factory reset/wipe data" from the cwm menu along with wipe cache, also dalvik cache in the advanced menu in cwm, i do this before i flash any rom
ADB is how you flash a recovery and some kernels
but you need this driver installed http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/?section=Requirement
you also need that driver installed for moonshine to work but after you install it you need to remove the htc sync manager part of it

here is a small adb and fastboot setup
once installed you can put the cwm recovery in the same folder as adb open a cmd window and from the directory that has adb and the cwm you type
"adb reboot bootloader" no quotes
then
"fastboot flash boot clockwork-touch,img"
now you have recovery
I realize these instructions assume some levels of knowledge so if you need more details ask
I have done all you said and now have a rooted dna! the only problem is every time I select reboot from the cwm it just reboots to the recovery and not the actual phone? Any Idea of whats going on here?
ah it sounds like you wiped your rom before you transferred a new one to your phone
did you do a backup of your stock rom?
this recovery isnt perfect i dont think you can mount the sd card in it to transfer files
if you have no backup and no rom package on your phone and you wiped your stock installed rom then ive actually never come into this situation
im sure it can be resolved easily, let me test some stuff on my phone ill get back to you in a bit.
in the meantime does anyone else have any suggestion for this?
maybe team win recovery can mount sd?

It seems as if I can sideload from cwm as well. And how could I install the twrp recovery if I cant boot into the desktop
I would like to either install a sense 5 rom like you suggested or cyanogen mod. Im not so sure how to flash the twrp recovery if im only in the cwm recovery.
you can hold power and vol down, once it reboots after about 10 sec you let go of power and keep holding vol down till you see the bootloader screen, you can flash the recovery using adb like you did to get cwm on
ok never mind I figured out how to get the twrp flashed. now I will try to sideload
I would like to skype but I didnt build my pc with a camcorder. I can still do sound though, tell me if your okay with that. Ok now when I try to sideload it tells me that it cant find the device? not sure what that is.
i was just going to skype for chatting with text so its not like post and wait and refresh, takes forever
in the recovery there is a setting you activate to sideload you are using that right?
