Ok so I should delete my clockwork backups?
Hello, new user here. I've successfully rooted my HTC EVO 4G a while back. I would like to upgrade to SW ver. 3.70, but had some reserves doing so. I've read the entire 'ROOTING For Dummies' thread posted, and downloaded the RUU Supersonic files from XDA-Developers. So far, I can't get the update to run.
Anyway, I currently have ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5. My current software version is 3.26.651.6. Can I just download the 'Stock Recovery 3.70.651.1 (Added 01/18/2011)' posted by the OP and run the flash from HBOOT? Also, my HBOOT is 0.93.0000 and my RADIO is 2.15.00.07.28.
Any info is appreciated. THANKS!
Are you trying to unrooted and update or are you just trying to get to updated software?
If you are wanting to stay rooted but upgrade to the newer radios and latest OTA version, Sprint Lover's would be the best bet to do it in one shot. Otherwise you would need to flash the radios and a rom based on the 3.70 release. It is not necessary to unroot or run an RUU to get the latest updates.
REASONS WHY NOT TO UPDATE HBOOT
Is there reason for me to be concerned?- Any NANDROID backups made before updating HBoot will be useless on a different HBoot version
- HBoot is typically upgraded for various debugging differences, etc., but a primary reason is to patch security exploits (i.e. THE WAY WE ROOT. Why would you want to upgrade to an HBoot designed to keep out root. Yes, each one gets root eventually, but I think my point stands.)
Yeah it does that. Rename that as pc36img-ra. Zip
you may need it later
You took the words right off of my fingers. lol

What does clockwork and amon-ra do? What is their purpose? I am going to root my EVO as soon as the new stock GB can be rooted. In the meantime, a friend of mine's EVO is still at FROYO and is rooted. We played around with flashing a ROM last night, had some issues but we've got some new things to try today. Is this something we need to include?
both cwm and amon ra are custom recoveries without them you will not be able to flash custom roms. they are sort of a mini os for your phone. depending on the version of clockwork mod you have will determine what you can flash. clockwork mod 3.0.0.5 uses a script called edify. most flashable .zips use a script called amend. there are two recoveries that can use both scripts and they are: clockwork mod 2.6 and amon ra 2.3. i highly recommend amon ra 2.3 as it tends to do a better job at wiping then cwm.
also i would recommend that you flash everything through recovery and not use rom manager as it tends to be buggy. it never really wipes very well creating a lot of issues for most people. get to know your recovery cause there maybe a time when you cant boot up and all you have is your recovery. knowing what to do from there may save your phone.
hope that helps.
Could you please post the Stock Recovery for 4.22?
