So after I unlocked my bootloader I flashed Amon ra. Then decided I wanted to use cwm recovery, so I flashed cwm.
Now, a month later I have decided to want to go back to Amon ra, but when ever I try to install Amon ra, the hboot checks sd card then parses PH98IMG.zip (Amon ra), then goes back to the hboot home screen. If I choose to go to recovery, I get sent to cwm recovery.
How can I revert back to Amon ra? Is there a way to install cwm? Or is there a way to completely wipe the whole phone including the recovery?

All you should have to do is flash the amon ra img in fastboot ...I haven't used it as a zip before .. i have always extracted the .img and flashed it through fastboot . In fastboot.. put the extracted .img in same folder as fast boot or if you have a path for abd you don't need to do that. Then just use the command
Fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery image".img need phone in hboot of course.

Problem solved. Thanks to everyone that responded. I really do appreciate it!!!!
What exactly did you flash? The Mainver error only relates to the kernel IIRC.
The only thing I tried to flash was the custom recovery after I accidentally ran the ota update with the custom recovery still on my phone. When I should've flashed back to the stock recovery before accepting the update. And now I can't get into custom recovery. When I try to reflash armon ra it won't take. I've lost root access even though I have superuser still on my phone.

how are you trying to reflash Amon Ra ? , what recovery do you boot into ? As long as your still unlocked you should be able to flash Amon Ra through Hboot it has nothing to do with root access at that point. Even odder that the OTA flashed through the custom recovery, thought it would error out and not take if it wasn't the stock recovery. Unless you ran Con's Stock rooted, but then you wouldn't have an issue with superuser or root access.
Should be able to flash stock recovery through fastboot relock and RUU then if you really are stuck. Otherwise , no reason you shouldn't be able to reflash Amon Ra and reroot through recovery.

I take it the phone can't boot up at all? Have your tried fastboot flashing the stock kernel?

I'm trying to flash it in hboot as ph98img. And when I go to recovery it seems to go to the stock recovery with the little phone and a green circle but shortly after it turns into the red triangle and phone symbol.
Try flashing the recovery in fastboot. Download the latest version of AmonRa here and extract the recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img. Take that file and place it in the same file directory you place the tools to unlock your bootloader (needs to be in the same directory as fastboot.exe).
Put your phone into bootloader and connect to PC and flash the recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img in fastboot using the command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img

It will boot and everything runs fine, I just can't get into custom recovery or install custom recovery. And my apps that need superuser permissions won't be allowed even though I still have superuser installed on the phone.

Nope. It just won't take. I can try it again and tell you exactly what it says as an error if that will help.

Nice! Glad to help
So, what the hell.
Ran the RUU, got back to stock, re-unlocked the bootloader.
Now I tried to run the One-click root, and every single time it fails to install busybox and superuser.
I really (really) don't want to be stuck with temp-root and I don't know what else I can do.
Help?
OneClick doesn't work any more after OTA.
If you don't already have it, flash Amon Ra. If you are going to use an ICS ROM you might want to use v3.10, otherwise use the new v3.14. Flash it in fastboot.
Then once it is flashed go to the devoloper menu of it and install su. You are then rooted.
follow the instructions in my sig

I freaking love you and your helpfulness. I'll try that
Tried to flash con47's AmonRa recovery and it gave me the error
"Main Version is older!
Update failed!"
Which RUU did you run? Did you download the OTA amonra version?

You can grab the latest version in the Amon Ra thread and flash it in fastboot. Fastboot doesn't care about mainver.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Make sure you type .img or you will get an error.
There's also a PHzip file of it in the thread. Personally I prefer using fastboot rather than using a PHzip file for everything cuz then you have to keep track of what they are, kernel, recovery, etc... and I don't think you can tell what version of whatever it is is in there.
I keep the latest Amon Ra in my adb/fastboot folder so it's always there if I need to flash it.
con also made Awesome Recovery Tool to automate mainver errors if you want to go that route. I've heard it's, well... Awesome!
I had someone give me a .zip to flash that gave me SU because Amon Ra's root wasn't sticking.
I just rooted my phone and installed Amon-ra recovery during the process. I even made a NAND back-up of the stock ROM and installed Superuser before rebooting. Now I am trying to flash my a ROM but cannot access recovery mod. I tried through the bootloader and it just showed me a picture of a phone with a red triangle and exclamation mark. What am I doing wrong and how can I access recovery mod to install my ROM? Also I was wondering if Clockwork Recovery was good with the rezound as i am more used to clockwork on my EVO 4G. Thanks.
You should be able to access recovery through the bootloader,if you're getting a triangle with exclamation mark that is a stock recovery.try flashing amon ra again,I think cmw still has issues most everyone uses amon ra here. If you flash a custom Rom most have reboot shortcuts built in

How do I flash Amon-ra? I followed the step-by-step process by Scott for the rooting and that was when I installed Amon-ra. I even used Amon-ra for the Nand back-up and to install Superuser. Do I have to go back to the ADB-thing to install Amon-ra again? I can follow step by step instructions but I am a very tecchie person. I know that once I flash a custom ROM, I will have the option to reboot in recovery from the 4-in-1 menu, but for now how do I flash amon-ra?
Place the recovery image in the same folder as your fastboot then use the command fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery image" minus the quotes which would be the amonra image.

Try this download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?l9dgzvvsdku7g3c and rename it recovery.
save it in the folder C:android the same folder you used to unlock the bootloader the one with fastboot, adb, and AdbWinApi.dll.
Install amon ra by entering HBOOT and go to fastboot USB
open cmd and type commands press enter after every command
cd..
cd..
cd android
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
let it do its thing then you should be able to get into your recovery.
I hope this helps
Hey guys no root ways are working for me. I flashed TWRP recovery and in recovery im using the AIO toolkit and hitting root, but its a no go.
Any ideas?
Have you tried Amon Ra recovery?
If your on GB use amonra to root if your on ICS that won't work anymore you just install the latest amonra and flash a Rom they are usually pre-rooted.
Sent from my Sense4 ICS Rezound
Download hasoons rootkit from the dev section. Unlock bootloader, reboot, run "Install amon-ra", let it reboot etc., then run perm root **it needs to finish rebooting into amonra recovery. Once it has gotten back to recovery the rootkit script should be paused. hit enter to get it to continue and it will install superuser.
amon ra worked!!!
thanks everyone
After I s off'ed my phone i cant get into my recovery it just takes me back to fastboot
You need to re-flash Amon Ra.
