I would like to flash to Icarus mod, just to try it. And when I try this using clockwork recovery, it says that I need to update edify. Tried flashing recovery to amon-ra using volume up + end + power, but it says Update Failed. Anyone know a way to downgrade clockwork recovery to 2.5 or Amon-Ra?

Downgrading to CWM 2.5.1.8 is done the same way as originally installing it. You'll need the files, start the phone in Fastboot, run the proper recovery file after plugging in to USB, and you're done. I actually had to do this myself when CWM 3.0.0.5 stopped letting me boot into recovery, and it worked perfectly to go back.
Device(s): Ascend CM7 oc'd @729Mhz, Droid X CM9 Beta, LG Esteem @2Ghz, Optimus C - CM7 @768M

it say that in CWM or rom manager?
To flash CWM via fastboot you have to power the phone off, then press END, VOL DOWN, POWER to boot into fastboot. Then you connect the USB cable, go into the recovery dir you downloaded and unzipped for the version of CWM u wish to flash, and then run (dbl click the .bat file) the windows-install file (or which ever OS you run). You should get a cmd prompt screen popup for only a few seconds, and then your done. Pull the battery to power off, put battery back in, start phone as normal, or SEND, VOL UP, POWER to boot into CWM. CWM will tell u the true version you are running. If CWM is black n green then you have 2.5.1.8, if its orange and black its 3+.

CWM: Tried what you many times earlier, but it continues to say 3.0.0.5 with orange text.
ROM Manager: Try to play with clockwork settings like manual flash override>Huawei Ascend> 2.xxx. Still doesn't work, and the "flash other recovery" thing is un-selectable. Also, the bottom option gives 2 versions to choose from: 3.0.0.4 and 3.0.0.5

Only see 3.xxx when I use manual flash override option. I noticed in the clockwork folder, there's another folder with a file called recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-ascend. Should I change it to 2.5.1.8?

in the folder i posted the link for, there no 3xxxx in it. just fastboot phone and run fastboot-wondows and run install-recovery-windows.bat, it is the 2xxxx.
Nope, still doesn't work. Should copy my files from my sd card then format?
you put your phone in fastboot mode right and tried installing it. open the folder cwm 2.5.1.8 and ran both files in order, than pull the battery and press and hold vol up, call key, and tap power?
you with metro or cricket, and if you with metro you can go here and do this, help plz!!! >:[[ once you back at stock you can flash the 2xxxxx if you to, but icarus is good but it doesnt beat cm6/7.

you can revert back to stock and than you can install 2.5.1.8, but theres really nothing that your missing on icarus, but try it out you might like it, well i like it also until a got my hands on cm7...
How do I flash back to stock ROM if clockwork doesn't work.
easier way to restore would be the fastboot method and also that way you know everything is back on there from out of box state.
