Hello XDA,
I am currently in the process of perm rooting a Rezound and successfully flashed AMon Ra recovery. The problem is I can only load recovery, ive tried battery pulls and restarts and Amon Ra is all i get, any suggestions?
Were you trying to flash a ROM? Whatever you were doing, sounds like your OS is toast. Try flashing a new ROM in the recovery, then it should boot into the new ROM you installed.

No, I was trying to perm root and literally just went through ADB and flashed the recovery img. still stuck in Amon Ra. any other ideas, Im thinking about putting a rom on the External SD card and flashing that way.

That's exactly what you should do. You'll be able to boot after that.

Yep. But first, if you haven't already done so, go into the developer menu of Amon Ra and install su. That gives you root. If you were trying to use OneClick root, that doesn't work if you have the OTA.

I know this problem is probably in other threads somewhere, but I've been looking and I haven't been able to find this same situation in any of them, sorry for being such a noob.
I was running aloysius v12, used clockwork mod to do a nandroid backup. I tried flashing a purehero ROM, and got stuck on the white startup (skateboard) screen for about 30 minutes. I pulled the battery, booted into recovery, and tried restoring the nandroid file, but every time I try it says "Error while flashing boot image!" and won't continue.
I have it plugged in, so it isn't low on battery. I still had 4 gb free on my sd card, so it's not low on memory. When I try to look at the files on my sd card on my computer, it won't recognize my phone at all. I also tried restoring my original stock rooted backup, but had the same problem. I'm not really sure where to go next, what do I do?
I don't use clockwork but in amon ra you can't put spaces in the file name if you rename it. If you can't access your sd card on your computer, maybe your sd card is corrupt.
I STRONGLY recommend you get rid of clockwork and install amon ra. I've read horror stories of bricked phones using clockwork. I do not know if clockwork recoveries will boot in amon ra, so it would probably be best to install amon and boot a fresh rom.

...you did turn enable usb when you plugged your phone into the computer right?

How do I do that from the recovery screen? That's all i can get to right now.
And i'm still really new to this whole rom/rooting thing, sorry to be so clueless, but once i can open my sd card on the computer, then i download a new rom to it and flash it right? do i need to get amon ra before i flash a new rom? is that even possible? maybe i shouldn't have done all this without completely understanding it haha
Edit:
I found how to mount USB mass storage device. Now do I just need to follow the instructions on installing amon ra, or will they work while I'm in recovery?
You should be able to select usb ms toggle from recovery (at least you can in amon ra) when the phone is connected to the computer and move files to your sd card. If not, power the phone off, eject the sd, insert it into your computer, and put the file on that way. Make sure you wipe data, dalvik, and ext partition (only necessary if you have a partitioned sd and you're using app2sd on a 2.1 rom). Then flash your new rom and enjoy.
There are a couple ways to change your recovery from clockwork to amon ra. There's a how to floating around xda somewhere for changing from clockwork to amon ra. I'd link it but it's late and i don't feel like searching for it. You could also use the RUU method to unroot your phone and then do the 1 click method to root it again. This would automatically install amon ra. I have not tried either method, so please read and fully understand them before you attempt it.
I'm just curious, which method did you use to root your phone and how are you getting into recovery?
Sent from my Froyo Eris using XDA App
I used the 1 click method. So apparently i already have amon ra... but i've been using rom manager, and the clockwork backup feature in there.
And i'm getting into recovery by holding the volume down and power buttons.
Thanks for the help, I'll try it out
When you you boot into recovery using power and vol up do you see anything on the screen about amon ra (I think it says amon ra 1.6.2)? I'm not the most advanced user but it seems to me that clockwork would replace amon ra if you installed it through rom manager. Maybe both recoveries are on your phone?

Hi all ok i installed clockwork about 3 month ago and i been checking out all the differnt roms out there i've had no problems evry thing is good. I have been reading alot of post about clockwork and how you should get read of it.Should i got back to the other ra recovery v1.6.2
clockwork <= amon ra
If its working for you i see no reason to switch.
Thats just more flashing which woud seem to be more risk to me.
But the general consensus as far as I've read is that amon ra is better for the Eris, here-say perhaps but thats what most people seem to agree on.
With that said if you have amon ra, you can still use clockwork from rom manager, but not vice versa. so in my opinion amon ra is better as you can have the best of both worlds.
Yes, you have nothing to lose and only piece of mind to gain.
If i want to go back to ra recovery v1.6.2 can i flash it threw clockwork.There is a spot on clockwork were it says flash alternate recovery.

I would recommend flashing amon ra through fastboot instead. Instructions should be on the thread containing the amon ra recovery image. I don't have a link - should be in the eris roll-up thread sticky. Then you can use rom manager to install clockwork and temporarily boot into it whenever you want to use clockwork.
I followed this guide here to root my EVO 3D:

Then my friend who already had a rooted Galaxy S told me to get ROM Manager and it installed Clockwork Recovery. I didn't know you only needed one recovery since I'm noob at this and when I tried to install a Custom ROM with Clockwork, it just boots and I get the Sprint logo and nothing happens. I try to boot into TWRP and nothing also happens. I think having two recoverys is going a major issue with my phone and I'm unable to install any roms. Is there anyway to go back to just having the TWRP Recovery and get rid of the ClockWork/ROM Manager? Or will I have to reset everything and root again?
Huh... Sounds like the hboot 1.5 is giving you issues... Use image GUI app for 1.5 to flash right from normal android mode( everyday user mode) look the thread in themes and apps to get it installed. Let me know how it goes here. No link as I'm using the tapa app

You can't have 2 recoveries installed at the same time...if you initially had TWRP, when you flashed clockwork it would've over-written TWRP. You don't need to reset anything or re-root to get back to TWRP. You should just be able to flash TWRP again. Use the method from the thread you initially followed. Just the part about flashing TWRP is all you need to do. I've never tried it, but you could also try flashing it with the app flash gui image, or something to that nature. Joeykrim developed it and I've heard it works nice, here's where to find info about it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192527. If your phone won't boot, the flash gui image app prob wouldn't be the best way. I would just boot your phone to fastboot, re-flash TWRP recovery, then flash a rom and try rebooting.
I don't have hboot 1.5, so I'm not up to date on the 'special' ways you need to flash, but I know that you need to boot into recovery from fastboot in order to flash a kernel, and I'm not sure if there's other steps you need to to take in the flashing process, so research that and make sure you're doing it correctly. If you don't boot to recovery from fastboot, the kernel won't flash and you'll be stuck in boot loops or something like that. Good luck.
Thank you guys! The flash image gui thing made the fix very seamless. I just flashed TWRP again and now it's showing up. Flashing synergy nitely now. Woot!
Hello , thank you for reading this. I'm trying to fix my amaze, it's stuck on the HTC boot logo. Phone was running latest tmobile rom, i unlocked the bootloader and rooted it to remove some tmobile bloatware using bloat freezer. Well the phone kept having these weird problems so i looked to install a custom rom. I installed clockworkmod recovery and then put my downloaded rom which was in a ZIP file onto the sd card. I booted into recovery, made a backup, then wiped data, then wiped dalvick cache or w/e it's called. wiped partition, then installed the ROM. the initial setup went good, phone said successful boot but when i restart it stays on the boot logo. So after some reading it looks like i didn't flash the kernel. So i found the boot.img file in the rom zip file but now i'm not sure what to do with it. I can boot into recovery but that is it. How can i flash the kernel with just clockwork recovery mod? Please help! I obviously would really like to get my phone up and running.
So as of now i have some custom roms on the SD card along with the OEM Ruby rom. I tried installing the tmobile stock ruby rom and it just says install aborted and it can not install. What should i do now? I juts want to get the phone working now. Thanks
Install 4ext recovery, it will flash the kernel for you, just make sure to turn on smartflash in the settings before you flash a rom if you're still S-On. If you're S-Off, then no need for smartflash

thank you. is there a way to install 4ext when the phone is just in recovery mode? my phone is just at the clockwork recovery main home screen right now. i can mount the drive and put files on the phone but that is it. thanks again
Okay so the tmobile stock rom is on the sd card. I renamed it to PH85IMG.zip and booted into hboot mode, it found the zip package and there was a loading bar. But then it went back to the boot screen. I tried restarting and it wouldn't move past the HTC quietly brilliant screen. I tried using the all in one tool kit to flash 4ext but it just keeps saying waiting for device. Pretty sure it wont work in clockworkmod recovery. Starting to get worried

Too flash the T-Mobile ruu you would have to relock your bootloader first.
As for flashing 4ext with the toolkit, when it said waiting device, were you in the bootloader, or did u select fastboot?

i think he was in recovery. ok so flash 4ext with the toolkit (i think you need to be in fastboot for the toolkit to flash it). then go to tools(in 4ext recovery) scroll down till the end and make sure smart flash is enabled (when it says enable smart flash means its not enabled and you need to click that, if it says disable smart flash then dont touch it you re good). then you can install a custom rom and it wont boot loop
hope this helps
hey guys thank you so much for taking time to help me! i got it flashed with 4ext and now using smartflash i'm able to flash roms onto it. so relieved to get it working, thanks again!

I flashed twrp.img during unlock/root process. I have seen some mods/roms that say I should use CWR and not twrp to flash.
is it ok to install cwr even though I am running twrp already?
I fear conflicts like when I click reboot to recovery, wouldn't my device be confused which to use?
If you flash cwm it will replace twrp

Go ahead and flash cwm youll be perfectly safe. the recovery.img's overwrite eachother so the phone will only boot to one or the other depending on what you have flashed most recently. TWRP has known errors, i've actually contacted the primary dev of twrp to resolve this but havent had time to follow up with him. Anyway CWM is much safer for now.
Don't forget that backups made with one recovery won't restore with a different recovery. So if you switch from TWRP to CWR, make a new backup
I would really like to see Amon Ra ported to the DNA. Anyone know how, or someone who could? It worked really nice on the Rezound.
