Best for the rezound is amon ra recovery, but flyhalf has built a source twrp recovery and a working clockwork mod. Sounds like you have an older version of clockwork. Just scroll down the development forum for the links.

Yep rom manager doesn't play well with the rezound, you'll have to use flyhalfs twrp/cwm or good ol amon ra 3.15

So the phone has S ON.
Is there a PH98IMG.zip file that can be flashed in Hboot to change the recovery??
Amon Ra Vigor v3.15
Download, rename to PH98IMG.zip, place on the root of the sd card and flash in hboot.
http://mobile-overload.com/topic/147-recovery-amon-ra-vigor-v315
For future reference, this question has been asked plenty times before. Just so you know if you have trouble flashing the zip in hboot you will need to extract the recovery.img from that zip and flash it via fastboot.

Which in my opinion is easier, I perxonally encourage everyone to learn how to fastboot commands to flash thing. It'll save you a lot of time and questions later.. oh yea, and +1 amonRa.. haven't had a problem yet..

Try all three and find the one you like best. All pretty much do the exact same. You can use can use an outdated ROM Manager with MY versions of CWM. Read my OP for more details if interested.
When doing a backup in Amon Ra, which options do I choose? The ones already selected? Or should I backup anything else extra that isn't already selected?

So... I really like TWRP but with it being closed down I figured eventually I'd have to switch to CWM so I may as well get adjusted to it now.
However, I'm unable to flash CWM on my Evo3D with hboot 1.5 using fastboot or through the bootloader. I can flash TWRP but flashing CWM just puts me in a bootloop... Anyone know how to fix this?
TWRP is closed down?

Twitter: @knowledge561
I'm protesting flashing until CM9 drops for the Evo 3D!!!
well... Not closed down as much as team win has stopped support for it. Eventually I'm sure I'll get another device and then ill be forced to use CWM

There is a specific CWM Recovery you need to use for 1.5 HBOOT, Try flashing this , http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15385692/recovery.img

I never use Rom Manager, I always do everything from the Recovery itself.
It's not a homebrew, It's an official CWM from Revolutionary! Enjoy!
It's the only one I'll use now. Twrp 2.0 never flashed correctly for me. It always locked out my WiFi and 3g.

Best thing would be to download the stock ruu with hboot 1.4 and go from there. thats what I did. rooting was painless,cwm works fine with it..
CWM is easy just gotta make sure you type in the CMD to flash right

Usually it is caused by an install script error, which there is no "easy" fix for. You could pull a install script from a ROM that installs ans put it in the ROM that gets the error. This always worked for me when I had my Incredible 2.

It Seems like you are trying to flash an ext4 ROM from and ext3 version of CWR. Try upgrading to CWR 3.0.1 which handles both ext3 and ext4 ROMs.
This is the easiest procedure to solve your problems .I hope your problem will solved
Appreciate the help, luckily I haven't experienced this problem with the most recent roms I've been using.

I've really been interested in the difference between CWR and Amon Ra. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how to flash Amon over ClockworkMod. From what I've read, ClockworkMod has more problems than Amon Ra, though I'm so accustomed to CWR.
Its really easy. Download the file for Amon Ra, place it in the same folder as ADB and Fastboot, rename it to recovery.img, place your phone in fastboot with the usb connected to the pc and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
Boom. Done.

Wasn't expecting a tutorial
But I'm really unfamiliar with ADB, so you're going to have to dumb it down for me.
So first, get the recovery img for Amon Ra. Easy
Place it in the same folder as ADB. Are you talking about a file on my computer?
And also, would it be possible to install through fastboot by renaming the img. PH89IMG and updating just like that? I believe that's how I got CWR when it still was unavailable through Rom Manager.
Yes you can do it that way also. Just remember to delete the img file as soon as you can to avoid bootloops.

You can flash roms using a computer with no issues lol using fastboot boot recovery.img in hboot with ADB.. You have to put a copy of your recovery.img in your adb folder for this method to work not hard at all.
You can use flash GUI to flash kernels and flash the rom in recovery .... You may wanna read up on the guy that made the app he has instructions...
I have used the app in the past not a bad thing to have... Tho I prefer using the computer always a one stop shop for me

Just download from the market the Flash GUI app and you can flash any boot.img (kernel) first and then flash the ROM and you should be all set.
Yes, if you travel alot then Flash Image GUI would be for you.
the pg86100 is the htc evo 3d if i am not mistaken and i have one and have hboot 1.5 also, i see you have boot manager listed as one of your apps. you can use this app as well with hboot 1.5 and still flash your heart away just make sure you unlock the bootloader via HTC's method and have root access and youll be good to go
Thanks guys, another question, whats the best recovery for hboot 1.5?
thats is all what you like to use... i personally use the clockworkmod recovery version 4.0.1.4

i know with my evo 3d you can flash and rom from the recovery ... you just save the rom in its zip format to your sdcard and when in recovery mode that i use i just select " install zip from sdcard" and guide it to said rom then once selected it will begin an install process... now keep in mind that if your info is not backed up you will lose it... and you can still use the kernel that comes with the rom to flash it is just the same... it should be in the boot.img area of the rom you saved

It's not an issue just download the app and when it runs it will ask if you're s-on then flash the 4ext overwriting cwm. Then your all set. It can flash kernels making fast boot or flash gui obsolete

Hey everybody, so I installed Amon Ra 3.15 on my Rezound running ICS 4.0.3 and I'm having issues with superuser. Whenever I restart my phone, superuser gets deleted. I guess a bigger problem is that when superuser was installed and I tried to use WiFi tether, it never worked. I installed su and superuser through Amon Ra, but I guess it didn't take. So now I have no superuser app on my phone and I'm not even sure if I'm rooted. I'm running just stock ICS 4.0.3 with Amon Ra 3.15. Can anybody tell me how to fix this issue or get "real" root access so I can run a tethering app please? Thank you!

That was the very first thing I did when I installed Amon Ra and it's never worked properly.

Should I just try reinstalling Amon Ra? Will that even work?

So how I installed AmonRa was through Terminal on my Mac. I ran "./fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img" from the computer. I didn't drop any files onto the root of the SD card. Is this not the proper way to install the AmonRa?
The "recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img" file is the only file I have related to AmonRa.
The All-In-One toolkit doesn't work for me b/c I use a Mac.
Can somebody please give me proper instructions on how to install AmonRa is the way I did it was incorrect? I'm brand new to Android, but I managed to get ICS on my Rezound and what I thought was the proper way to install AmonRa. ICS 4.0.3 is working fine, but I just want to get root access to use WiFi tether. That's the only thing I want to do. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. Step-by-step directions would be SO helpful. THANKS!!!!
Wait I'm realizing your problem is not amon RA but SU. Are you s on or s off? Did you just upgrade firmware? Because that would make a difference in your root permanently sticking.
Edit: You might be losing root....as I'm not sure exactly what the makeup of your phone is. Try the tool kit and install amon ra and flash su in recovery.
Unfortunately if your recovery is not permanent you have to this again after updating rom, ruu, etc. Someone correct me if I'm wrong ..I've been s off since we got it so I might be off a bit. Again s off and s on makes a difference. Nor sure what you have.
Edit to he edit: I see you are using a Mac.....again are you s off or a s on? That amon ra file is not going to work for you.

That should have worked. You can always flash the new file in the earlier post. After, do like you did with SU...then flash this file here (in recovery):

I believe it updates the binaries. It worked for me several times. You can download Su from the market, too.

Yeah sounds like you lost root.....since your s-on and you ruu, you have to regain root again. Have you tried flashing in recovery the file from Topgun's above link and post?
You just might have to just redo the root instructions (installing SU), NOT bootloader, through your MAC.....assuming that's how you initially unlocked and rooted. Again I had similar issues so I used the All in one tool kit, which you can't use on a MAC.
Sorry if I can't be of any other help.....but try using the MAC, if you haven't done so already. And then S-Off!

Yeah sounds like you lost root.....since your s-on and you ruu, you have to regain root again. Have you tried flashing in recovery the file from Topgun's above link and post?
You just might have to just redo the root instructions (installing SU), NOT bootloader, through your MAC.....assuming that's how you initially unlocked and rooted. Again I had similar issues so I used the All in one tool kit, which you can't use on a MAC.

How do I flash in recovery? I know that sounds stupid but I'm still confused about terminology. Does flashing in recovery mean dropping the file on the root of the card and then going into hboot? OR is it putting the phone into hboot and then flashing the file from Terminal? If I do it through terminal what is the coding language? "Fastboot flash recovery"? I'm so confused. Thanks for all the help thus far. I think just a little more help and I can get it. Thanks for being patient everybody.

I would just flash a custom rom like conrom v6. It will fix your super user issues. Flash in recovery means you boot into your recovery(amon ra) and flash the zip(it can be on external or phone)

Flashing in recovery....your file is on the SD Card...not a ph98img.zip file...you flash roms in recovery, for example. But how? Get into recovery (amon ra) select navigate through the flash zip options..(can't remember exact verbiage) select file and you're on!
Flashing in hboot/bootloader...your file is on the SD Card and is name ph98img.zip. The bootloader scans for any files named, thus, and if so, asks if you want to run it or boot (that's why you delete or rename ph98img files when done with them).
Using Fastboot...boot into the bootloader and select fastboot..then you can enter commands from your computer. Fastboot flash [partition] [filename] . A quick google search turns up the commands you might need. At least, that what I do. Hopefully this helps some!
Did you ever flash that file I mentioned up above...flash 'in recovery'

Last question, but do I have to flash this zip every time I restart my phone? I'm trying to figure out why the root didn't stick in the first place and what I need to do to prevent losing root. I don't use any custom ROM's, just use the stock ICS that was in 3.14.605.11. Not upgrading to .12 until I know it can be rooted.
Also, I am trying to find a ROM that gets rid of the VZW bloatware, but leaves as much stock ICS as possible. Looking through the Developer section at the list of ROM's there, they don't have many pictures of what the ROM looks like on the phone. So I'm hesitant to go through them all to see which is closest to stock ICS. If you guys know of any I'd appreciate those recommendations also. Sorry for being such a noob about all this stuff, but a man has to start somewhere.
