Hi,
I rooted my Samsung Infuse and flashed CM7 as explained in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311960
It looks awesome, many thanks to the people who put it together. ( I couldn't reply there since I am a "noob")
My phone boots fine in to CM7 and I can make calls and use other hardware, no problem so far.
I was trying to get Gapps by going to Rom Manger -> Download ROM -> Scroll down to Google Apps. It reboots and ends up at the screen with the white triangle around an exclamation and the android icon. I do not get the ClockworkMod menu. I have to press and hold the power button to reboot normally and get back to CM7.
Am I missing the recovery executable file? I looked in /system/bin and /sbin and it is not there. Should I copy the one I used earlier in to /system.bin ?
Thank you.
I believe cwm can show that when it is working, on some builds you can toggle between it showing the files being copied and that screen with the power button if I remember right.
Thanks for the reply, Dani897.
I am trying to get the Google apps installed which I couldn't since the recovery mode isn't showing up.
Any hint how I can get them on?

Not really sure, I don't run CM7. But if you are using ROM manager it might just start flashing and never enter the menu.
If it is hanging maybe you can find gapps.zip on xda somewhere and put it on the sd card. Then use the reboot into recovery option instead of the flash ROM option in ROM manager.
Why not install the. Apk's instead of flashing the Google aps

Thanks Dani897, didn't realize the reboot has recovery option. Now I have the Gapps installed.
In fact, CWM showed up when I rebooted into recovery mode. Wonder why ROM Manager couldn't do that.

If I remember correct ROM manager has several options, 1 is to download and flash roms, 1 is to flash from sd card 1 is to reboot into recovery. if you use the first two options it goes into recovery but not the menu, it skips strait to flashing so you don't needed to do any more work, it only shows the menu if you reboot into recovery.

Good to know that. In fact, I tried the "Download ROM" option which downloaded the Gapps zip and rebooted in to the white triangle screen.
Now moving onto fixing other issues
Thank you.

Since the Evo just got NAND protection removed, I figured I'd share the persistent version of ClockworkMod recovery
Currently ROM Manager is using a recovery hot replace to give you a custom recovery. But I'll eventually be packaging this into ROM Manager's flashing process like the other phones it supports. I'll wait a week or so to switch, while everyone switches over to the new root.
For those that want to make ClockworkMod their default recovery on recovery boot, use this image:
These step assume you have already unlocked your NAND using the "Part 2" thread in the forums.
http://www.droidaftermarket.com/koush/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-supersonic.img
http://www.droidaftermarket.com/koush//recoveries/flash_image
Place these files on the root of your SD card.
Then run this from a root Android shell.
cd /data/local
cat /sdcard/flash_image > flash_image
chmod 755 flash_image
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-supersonic.img
Done!
For insurance stuff, will we need to flash stock recovery img to get rid of everything?

Will we be able to update this with ROM Manager?

Yes, in a week, when everyone has done their NAND unlock, ROM Manager will start flashing and replacing your recovery for you, so you don't need to do this manually. I do not want to switch right now, because that will leave people who haven't unlocked out in the cold.
Does this mean that for right now if we make this the real recovery that when we choose "Reboot to Recovery" in ROM Manager that it will not work until ROM Manager is updated?

No, that will still work.
This is just an option for people that want to boot into recovery via the power key combination. Or those that don't want to apply the update.zip on the root of their SD card to switch to ClockworkMod. It's just a convenience/safety net people wanting to replace their recovery now.

no, it means when you choose reboot to recovery in any application, ROM manager, quickboot or thru adb it will reboot to the phone's recovery partition but instead of loading the stock recovery, it will load this custom recovery!
this is basically a permanent or "sticky" recovery where as before we had to load the custom recovery every time as a temporary or "non-sticky" recovery. the days of temporary or non sticky recoveries are OVER ... at least until the next update from HTC/Sprint!
Koush, I m still a completely rookie on root part, EVO4G is my first androind phone, and 0 experience on root. Besides, i haven't done anything about rooting evo4g yet (still kinda struggle here, worrying to brick such a$$kicking phone, anyway). So please forgive if my question sounds ridiculous and stupid.
lets say if i decide do root like next months, so i should follow the 1st part root my phone by "PC36IMG.zip", then what's next step? should I use adb shell complete flash recovery, and 2nd part to remove NAND protection, at last run ROM Manager flash recovery permanently? or I can just directly use ROM Manager after root'd phone, like the instruction "[TUTORIAL] IDIOT-PROOF Root Guide! No ADB, no fuss!" by theBiles, to flash recovery permanently?

This doesn't seem to be the case on my phone. After going through Toast's NAND unlock process (replacing his recovery image with yours in the last step, only change) I boot back up and try to "reboot into recovery" from ROM Manager. It takes me to a screen with an android and a white triangle with a ! in the middle.
From that point I have to take out the battery to turn off the phone, afaik. For the record, at that point I turned on the phone while holding down vol down and got into the stock hboot screen where it checks for PC36IMG.zip. It didn't find anything because I have moved the files, so I selected recovery, and it booted right into ClockworkMOd Recovery v1.8.2.0

I get the android with the white triangle as well when using reboot into recovery from rom manager. However the normal recovery is now clockwork great job and thx K!
Confirming this as well.
Booting to recovery via adb or hboot works as expected, reboot from Rom Manager doesn't.

Just did this, works perfectly. Thanks for the fast response, Koush. Sending some beer your way.
Edit: When I boot into recovery manually (hold down voldown, select recovery) I get into version 1.8.2.2.
When I boot into recovery from ROM Manager I get into version 1.8.1.9. Does this mean there are two different recoveries on my phone and it is booting into them distinctly based on which method I use? Or is it just a error in reporting version numbers?
So what exactly does this do or look like? I'm a bit confused on that one.

Booting via ROM Manager still uses the recovery hot replace, which is using a recovery with a different version number. They're exactly the same, no worries

Attempted to flash update to current CM 7 Nightly build, from Nightly10. When doing so, Bootloader>Recovery(System hangs on Google load screen), Battery is then pulled. Attempts are made without SIM card. Also initiated with ROM Manager v3.0.0.7 +Fix Permissions, with same results.
No luck with returning to previous ROM, or cleaning Cache and Dalvic-cache for same reason.
All other ROM flashing attempts have been flashed on my Nexus S, great success.
Side Note: CM 7 Nightly10 is running great! Boots/Loads with no issue.

Dunno if mine is the same problem.
My recovery seems to "reset" itself after every reboot. I have done it from ROM manager also also fastboot.
1. I flash the recovery
2. reboot
3. recovery comes up fine
4. reboot again, it show me this triangle sign with a exclamation mark inside.
So i need to fastboot/ROM manager everytime I want to go into the clockwork recovery.

Dude, this is discussed in multiple threads already.
The OTA 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 updates place a new script in the /etc folder that checks the crc on your recovery image at every bootup. If it fails, a backup copy of stock replaces it.
If you want to stay on Clockwork, you need to rename the file /etc/install-recovery.sh to something like /etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
Ah ok thanks! I din know where or what term to search for this.
When I select backup Rom in ROM manager, it reboots and i get a screen with an exclamation mark with an android bot. Same thing happens when I try to get into recovery with power on + volume up button.
But when I select reboot in recovery from rom manager it works and i was then able to take a back up from there.
What do i do ? Current and latest clockwork version are same according to rom manager. I updated it twice using ROM manager to make sure its the correct one

Tried it. Nothing happens. Have to take battery out. But I can still access recovery by rebooting in recovery from rom manager
Try installing it from the bootloader.
Name the image file recovery.img
Put it in the android sdk tools folder(or wherever your fastboot.exe is) and run the command -
"Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Then reboot, it should work.
The android with a "!" is the stock recovery. You don't have to pull the battery at that screen, just press hold power button, then press volume up, you should end up in stock recovery.
In ROM Mgr, FLASH clockwork recovery (twice for good luck, seriously) before trying to boot/backup from ROM Mgr. That should get you going.
The fastboot flash method mentioned above also works.
Part of your issue is that there's a file called /etc/install-recovery.sh that overwrites clockwork recovery with the stock one every time you boot up normally. Rename/delete that file and clockwork will stick after that.

I have found if you to flash Clockworkmod recovery from Rom Manager and you already have the same version, it will remove it all together.
just reboot your phone and run the recovery installer once. Right now, it should be version 3.0.0.5. After you run it. Reboot your phone -> hold power + up (or down don't remember) -> select recovery.
If it is there, you should be able to get to it from the Rom Manager link also.

Make sure you hit "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery" first. It'll take a sec to do it's thing. Put the ROM on your SD, go to Install From SD, find the rom zip and it will automatically take you into recovery mode (I would recommend wiping everything first [dalvik cache/data] - make sure to make a backup tho!) then choose install zip from sd card.
Moved as not development.
Sounds like there's still a PD98IMG.zip on your SD card. Mount your SD as a disk drive and see if you find this file on your SD, if you do, get rid of it. Any time there's a PD98IMG.zip on your SD, HBoot will automatically try to install it. If there's not a PD98IMG.zip there, it should allow you to select recovery.
And as constantschange said, make sure you have already flashed clockworkmod recovery through ROM Manager
thanks guys you have really helped me out. I did delete the zip from the sd card and i flashed the clockwork recovery through rom manager. But i ran inrto another problem. Now i can go into recovery but when i select it the screen turns black (the screen also turns black when i tried to boot into recovery mode from rom manager - which is why i have to manually root it) and i cant turn the phone off so i take the battery out. So how do i fix that??

I installed Cyanogenmod 7 and with it i added and Nscollab and I decided to change it.
Now the problem is that everytime i try to get into recovery from phone and from rom manager it displays the startup google logo and it stucks there.
iv'e heard that you can flash rom from computer. if anyone knows about program or any solution Please help me
Try to flash newest recovery form ROM manager. Sometimes it will not stay there after first flash, so try couple of times. If not, there IS the way to flash *img files from fastboot via PC. Google fastboot with other keywords, and there should be plenty of guides to do that ...
But first method should work just fine ...

when i tried to flash with rom manager, it reboots, and leads me to the startup google logo and stuck there. what im trying to say is that i dont have access to recovery menu (the backup, install from zip file etc).
