Over the last few weeks many of you have had problems with boot looping roms and not being able to restore a nandroid. 9 times out of 10 the problem comes down to being cw 3.0.0.5.
Our Q & A forum has been flooded with questions about problems that could have been avoided if people would simply take a few minuets to update their recovery. This is NOT something that is mandatory, but please save yourself as well as the people that take the time to fix everyones problems a headache! There are two simple ways to flash the recovery listed below. Thank you all for adhering to this request, it will be appreciated!
Option94, Zinx and Koush have taken the time out of their lives to put this new recovery together for all of us. So please remember to thank them!
I have attached a copy of the recovery to this thread. For those of you who have the eng SPL (0.85.2007) place the file in your AndroidSDK\tools\ folder and the run this script from fastboot
Fastboot flash recovery c:\AndroidSDK\tools\recovery.img
If you don't have the eng spl or if you are unfamiliar with ADB you can use TrueBlue_Drew meathod below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681
You can also try flashing this version from your recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=555930&d=1301465416
You can find the original cw 3.0.0.6 thread from option94 below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952433
mod maybe u could sticky this for a few weeks
You're right that this gets asked a lot. It should be stickied!
You might want to add that you must have the engineering SPL (0.85.2007) to use the fastboot method. I can imagine people trying that and not being able to, and not knowing why.
There's already a similar sticky in the Q&A section.
Yep, thanks.
Rom manager will only flash version 3.0.0.5. This is version 3.0.0.6. This is still the needed recovery for the 2 different file systems.
Ok. Perhaps we do still need this. Maybe I haven't flashed enough ext3 ROMs...lol
nice of you to post this even tho 3.0.0.6 has been out for awhile now. been using for couple months

Yeah it has, and that's the whole point. Despite 3.0.0.6 being out for so long, people still aren't using it and have no idea why their ROM won't boot.
yeah, but its THEIR fault for not researching and reading thru the forum

I agree! However, THEM not researching leads to the same question being asked over and over, which means WE end up answering it over and over. So it's to everyone's benefit to be informed, and hopefully threads like this will help in that matter.
totally agree
I may have a better solution. Need to see if I can get a hold of koush though.
I wonder why ROM Manager doesn't have it yet. (I've been circumventing ROM Manager anyway and just flashing through fastboot.)

Because 3.0.0.6 was not created by Koush and is therefore not an "official" build of CWM. It was created by option94 and distributed on XDA.

Technically, all I did was compile his source code for it. Its still his.
Maybe somebody will email koush and see if he is willing to put 3.0.0.6 in the Rom manager.

I did not create the recovery image which forum user damien667 most likely compiled, or whoever else would like to lay claim to it, just the flashable zip to install it. Standard CYO applies. I am not responsible for any damage or otherwise that may occur to your phone.
flashed it several times from several clockwork versions, should work just fine.
recovery 3.0.0.5 is courtesy of damien667 that i made flashable
recovery 3.0.1.4 by MikevHL - the only changes are that i unpacked the recovery image added the binaries required to charge with the screen off, repacked the recovery image and made it flashable, his changes can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988454

glad to see this made into a flashable recovery I know a lot of people will jump to use this, now that it doesnt require the "scary" fastboot method to install (though personally, I never had any problems with fastboot or adb, but to each his own).
However, I was wondering something about this, and had been asked this question in another recovery thread: would it be possible to mod this recovery to incorporate the mods from the other custom recovery made recently that removed some of the redundant selections, as well as gave an option to power off the phone, rather than just reboot and turn off or pull the battery? This would be the perfect recovery if those features could be combined, even though its already pretty darn good as is.
DUDE!!! Thank you so much for making the recovery flashable!
appreciate the work on all sides. thanks mexdroid, thanks amazinglarry ( <--- is that from a movie?)
I don't see the point of calling this meXdroid when it only adds the charging off feature
Not to mention you guys didn't credit koush nor ask for his permission to change his recovery I bet

Larry just put it in a flashable zip go ask mexdroid if he asked for permission if you care that much. Were just spreading the word kthxbai.
P.s. it was referenced as mexdroid because they were the ones who did the mod. But if it makes you feel better we could name it "Koush' Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.5 modded by Mexdroid to charge while off and placed into flashable zip by Amazinglarry"
I got this from another thread, some time ago, and it works perfect. I had no idea it was the mexdroid guys who modded it lol.
Thanks for the awesome work!
has anyone tried doing a nandroid backup from rom manager... while restoring it from recovery by restarting into hboot and loading recovery... comming from desire... over there we had an issue where the phone recovery was updated to 3.0.0.5 whiile rom manager recovery was 2.5.0.7.... so backing up or restoring from rom manager would use 2.5.0.7 recovery while direct loading of recovery would pop up with 3.0.0.5..... and this was not just a mere annoyance......
if you made backup from one recovery and tried to restore from other it would give errors......
so guys who have tried this modded recovery can you please check and than confirm or deny any issues with making nandroid backup and resotring em from alternating recoveries (ie via rom manager and direct recovery) ....

The ROM worked perfectly. It was probably your lack of know how or oversight in fallowing instructions. Or as MJYBarr said... Just YOUR phone bc everyone else is enjoying it. Grow up dude. Or leave XDAalltogether. Ur the reason Mexdroid ain't on this forum anymore.
ROMs, opensource...xda....its all about having fun, learning, and helping eachother. Not negetively responding, throwing salt, or nit picking about BS. I'm done with u. You don't deserve any more responces.

Not every knows the other methods. But seems people in this community can't be nice enough to just explain a simple thing. With rom manager you don't have to do it. It does it for you. Just tossing up my 2 cents.

He didn't try looking inside the zip. IF there's a meta folder it's flashable via recovery
LOL it's assumed when a recovery image is posted it is in the .img form, coz for a person first flashing stuff on their phone, they have to either flash a custom recovery thru Rom Manager, or the flash_image binary in terminal. It's impossible to flash a .zip without a custom recovery in the first place.
Just sayin...
Is there an overview of the changes in this version compared to the last?
I suggest people who want to know what the changes are learn to read github...

Why would you not take the time to list simple step by step instructions for those who need them in the OP? (At least you added that its a flashable zip...prior to that there was no information whatsoever)

Here is the linked to the Unrevoked Forever wiki:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
Look at this section in particular:
Since you have already installed the OTA update, start at step 4.
Reinstalling an official recovery
If you wish to install a stock over-the-air update in the future (OTA), the safest way to do so is to install the recovery that originally shipped with your phone. To install an OTA:
Install unrevoked forever on your phone.
Download or create an appropriate PB31IMG.ZIP, PC36IMG.ZIP or HERCIMG.zip for your phone that contains the original recovery image.
We do not supply these images; since the recovery code is owned by HTC, we don't distribute it. You may be able to find these images on the XDA-Developers forums.
From the phone operating system, install the over-the-air update.
When the update is done installing, you will probably want to root it with a custom recovery. Download one of the following recovery restore images:
Amon-Ra recovery for EVO 4G
ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G
ClockworkMod recovery for Incredible
Amon-Ra recovery for CDMA Hero
Place the appropriate file – with that exact file name! – on the root of your SD card.
Reboot your device into HBOOT by removing the battery, pressing VOLUME DOWN, inserting the battery, and pressing POWER.
When prompted Do you want to start update?, press VOLUME UP for Yes. When prompted again Do you want to reboot device?, press VOLUME UP for Yes.
Your phone now has a custom recovery. To restore superuser access to your phone, you can apply any appropriate update.zip; such a file can likely be found here: Superuser App
No you need to respect the questions that some ask in forums. We may not all be brainiacs in here but some respect will be appreciated. And as far as a sense of humor I did not see anything funny in Wat you wrote...

Since you're still S off, just download a PC36IMG.zip of amon ra recovery. Place it on your SD card, boot to the bootloader, and it will ask u to update. Say yes. That will flash a recovery for you. After that, you can boot to recovery and flash a rom. Then you'll be back in action.
Edit: I attatched a PC36IMG.zip of Amon Ra 2.3 recovery. Place the file on the main directory of your sd card. When you boot to the bootloader, it'll scan and find the PC36IMG.zip, then ask you to update. Hit volume up. When it asks you to reboot when it finishes, say no. Then from the bootloader menu, select 'recovery'. You'll now be in recovery. At this point, you'll just need to use recovery to flash a rooted rom of your choice. So be sure to have a ROM on your sd card, then go ahead and flash it as you normally would. Hope that helps a bit.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
ok maybe I can help...i believe I saw or read somewhere that if you accepted the 2.3.3 OTA you can RUU back to 2.2 with a bootloader you can root with...at least that's what I think I heard...but if you have one of the new batches of EVOs I believe you'll have to wait til they find an exploit.
And next time just try to be a little more specific with what you are trying to accomplish and if you don't already, try searching for your answer before posting so we don't end up with a million of the same thing (like we do already)
But try doing a little more digging into what I said cus I don't want what I say to be the reason you get a pricked phone.
Hope this helped.

Wow...no offense but I am no brainiac but I know how to ask a question. And let me quote the Rules of XDA Forums:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.

Is this confirmed on every device, or is this limited to a handful of handsets?
Is there anything else common between these handsets being bricked?

Our device is listsd, but not working, so many people can easily brick their gio

Go to dev section. Go to TWRP 2.3.3.0 thread. Download the .zip file in the OP. Flash it when you are in CWM.
You did the impossible and now you will always go into TWRP.
Go here

Hey hey hey yuyuyuyu1 why not thank cricketAC he gave you the same answer as LoopDogg... that aint right! His answer is 100% correct only thing he did not do is hold your hand with a link. No disrespect to LoopDogg at all.
A little research and reading and in any recovery thread would of given you the answer and too me its so much more gratifying when you figure stuff out for yourself and honestly going from one recovery to another is as simple if not simpler than flashing a rom. Remember though you can not restore from another recovery...

I'm planning to replace CWR with TWRP and ROM Manager with GooManager. After I install GooManager and TWRP, will I need to manually delete the backups made by CWR (blobs etc.)?
Yes, if you want space on your internal storage (or wherever you're storing them). Better off deleting them because they're not compatible anyways.
Just delete the clockwork folder in your internal storage or SD card.
So is Twrp actually the better recovery to use as apposed to cwm?
I've personally found TWRP to be more consistent than CWM's touch interface... (use it on ~ 3 devices a this point... T989, T999, and hp touchpad..)
Works pretty well...

It's all up to preference honestly. I haven't had any issues with all the available recoveries but I prefer CWM 5.0.2.7 because of the Darkside scripts. (They were made specifically for CWM 5.0.2.7, but also work with TWRP last time I checked.) Never had an issue with the recovery and all the ROMs I've flashed have all worked perfectly well.

Good advice re: deleting CWM
I tried to flash a CWM recovery (not realizing it was a CWM recovery) with TWRP, and it was a mess.
I agree re: figuring it out for yourself. (I de-bricked my KF2 yesterday, thanks to a Xubuntu - Adb tutorial.)
You guys are lifesavers for Noobs like me.
