If you want to boot it for kicks, there's a version of Amon-RA in post #30 of this thread, but I wouldn't recommend using it to change anything on your phone.
My favorite recovery is 4EXT because everything seems to work well, but the latest version of TeamWin Touch Recovery (TWRP2) has a lot of new features. Here's a post that might help you decide which is best for you.

Then I don't know why you haven't given 4EXT a try, but that's up to you. If it's because you have to pay for the Recovery Control version on the Play Store, there's a free version called Recovery Updater on the www.4ext.net website, but you will lose the advanced features in the app after a three day trial. The Recovery Control version only costs a few dollars.

I have had so many issues with cwm and twrp. So I stick with 4ext. Its hardly given me any problems and most of the new ROMs work better with it.

Yeah, at one point clockworkmod didn't backup the WiMax RSA keys (doh!)
I'm using CWM now though, I used Amon RA's recovery on the OG EVO. So far so good.
Does the battery charge with fastboot off and the phone off now (ie is it a new version of cwm for the Evo 3d)?

Not sure, I'm trying to find a changelog for CWM, having a little trouble finding it.
EDIT: found this, but doesn't specify minor revisions.
http://gh-pages.clockworkmod.com/ROMManagerManifest/CHANGELOG.txt
Working good...
Did a full backup/restore to test.... also flashed 2 roms and 1 kernel...
I have CWM Recovery installed from Revolution.
I installed Clockwork Mod Rom Manager and before I try to update I wanted to see what thinks I have and what it's going to upgrade too.
But after poking through the other options it thinks I have NO Clockwork recovery installed.
U have to install the one from the Rom Manager App

And you're using the same version of CWM to create and restore the band?

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.
Appreciate my help? Thank me
Not sure which one is better, but i've been using ClockworkMod 4.0.1.4 that came with Revolutionary S-OFF tool and it's worked flawlessly so far.
Do CWM work with Rom Manager
I personally like TWRP for the customization options plus the race horse is kinda cool too.
Nope...

Yep, I was curious and used rom manager to flash the recovery... worked perfect. I enjoy being able to go into rom manager and select "reboot to recovery" instead of having to hold down button combination (i know, lazy).

You can just click on the first option in Rom Manager, which is "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". That's pretty much it.

I can confirm that 4.0.1.5 fixes the charging bug as well.
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?
Which one are you guys using? I'm using anon ra and I like it more than cwm but just wanted to see what you guys thought.

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.
Koushik basically has the option of making recovery porting easier, since there's no CWM here really, I've built both a touch and non touch versions.
Basically these are just the img files, I prefer not to make a flashable zip until some test it to confirm both work, I have a few ideas to build better versions, though I don't really see the need at the moment to implement though with 4EXT around, it's still good to have options.
Flash these recoveries manually or via hasoon's tool:
CWM Touch IMG
Server link: http://jenkins.cyanogenmod.com/job/recovery/6430/
CWM Touchless IMG
Server link: http://jenkins.cyanogenmod.com/job/recovery/6428/
Credits:
Koushik for making his server open and customizing it to build/port cwm using a stock recovery.
HTC for the stock recovery [lol]
Its highly recommended to use this only if you have S OFF

what i don't understand with 4ext is that u need superuser to install it, but u need a custome recovery to install superuser, seems like dead loop? correct me if im wrong.
Install 4ext recovery first. Then if you want you can install the control application on Android which requires superuser.
Also, is this the latest version with incremental back ups?

You don't need superuser to install 4EXT, it can be installed via fastboot like any other recovery.

CWM has incremental backups now? All I can tell you is that it's the latest version for both touch and regular cwm recovery.
I was able to load the CWM Touch without S-Offing and flash my first Amaze ROM (successfully is TBD though)
How do you flash these via fastboot? Do I have to rename them?
Can someone tell me pros and cons of both 4ext recovery and cwm touch. Which one is better? I have 4ext, no issues so not sure if I should change it.

yes it also supports the very important smart flash feature which helps users flash kernels properly without being S-OFF
tried installing latest version of cyanogen using clock work recovery, froze at white htc menu. now rebooting using my recovery i backed up and its still loading files after 1 hour. if i ever get my phone working again what rom or method on installing rom should i use, i always used clockwork on my other phones with no prob.

Are you S-Off or S-On?
Ps. I'm not a fan of CWM. I've used TWRP mostly, and I love it, although a lot of people still swear by Amon Ra
do yourself a HUGE favor and just flash Amon RA 3.15....TWRP has come a long long way but by far the most reliable recovery is amon, hopefully that solves your issues

Curious:
What ROM are you trying to flash. Some ROMs have custom kernels, and if you are S-on they will not be able to flash from recovery. You will need to flash them from fastboot/hboot. That would cause the ROM not to boot properly if you did not have the right kernel.
