This is a PC36IMG.zip that will restore both RA recovery 1.7.0.2 and the ENG hboot 0.7.6 after running an official Sprint RUU (or any other scenario that might have upgraded your recovery and hboot). I noticed RA revovery was having a lot of problems when using a non-ENG hboot.
You must have S-OFF (Via Unrevoked Forever or some other magical way noone else knows about)
To apply this, just copy it to the root of your SD card, pull the battery, and boot up while holding the volume down key. You will have to reboot once before entering recovery, or it will not work properly, even though it might seem like it is. In one instance, the bootloader flashed fine, but flashing the recovery failed. If this happens, just pull the battery and try it again. It should work.
PS- This will not root your 2.2 evo! I made this for myself so I can nand backup my CM and run the RUU to use ## codes, then flash this so I can nand restore. All I did was package these together because one flash is faster than 2, and I figured I might as well share it with the community. I will provide no support, and promise no updates.

Edit:
Wanted to add real quick: Big thanks to Toast for for providing the ENG hboot and all the dev work you put into the evo, what with the rooting hackery and CM6 and all.
Thanks to Amon_RA for the rock solid recovery!
Big thanks to the unrevoked team. Forever is a big step in the right direction for me, and although a lot of ppl on this forum may have a problem with your software, I'm still rooting for you. Looking forward to your next breakthrough!
Thank you so very much was needing this since last night.
Curious...does this downgrade your PRI to 1.34_003? I know everyone is probably blue in the face about PRI but I figure people will want to know.
nice work btw.

I don't think it would downgrade your PRI. That is part of the radio firmware, and all this does is give you the ENG hboot and recovery... Although I can't say for sure. I've been stuck on 1.34 and can't get it to upgrade anyway.
I believe I read somewhere that the 1.34 PRI comes hand-in-hand with the ENG boot. I know I had the 1.40 PRI and it went to 1.34 after I unlocked NAND. I would guess that this also reverts your PRI back to 1.34, but if someone knows anything I don't, feel free to chime in.

That was essentially what I was thinking. To my knowledge the downgraded PRI came from flashing the engineering bootloader in Toast's method (eng-PC36IMG.ZIP). If the OP's zip file is the same engineering bootloader, then I would say that yes it will downgrade your PRI if you flash it.

That was only if you flashed the whole package, which was your only option with Toast's method. With Unrevoked Forever, you can flash a repackaged ENG bootloader just fine without changing the PRI.

pretty sure PRI is NOT radio. Radio images are firmware updates, the PRI is the driver for the OS to use the radios. (i could be wrong)
So this has changed my recovery so I'm now able to flash to CM6? What in the end is the major difference in these recoveries? And is Nand backup the same as a nandroid back up? I guess my point is that if I used a nandroid backup can this recovery restore from it?
and if need be is there anyway to get back to the other loader?

As long as you have the 0.7.6 HBOOT then you can flash CM6....As for the difference in recoveries, I've read that Clockwork doesn't completely (and correctly) wipe the phone...Nand is the same as Nandroid and yes you should be able to recover your Nandroid backups with Amon_Ra
Thanks so much!!

Was in the same boat with this guy.
I rooted 2.2 and wanted to switch from clockwork to RA. I went ahead and patched your file and got stuck in the bootloader. While I was stuck there I went ahead and updated the RA to the latest (1.8). After a reboot I was able to get into RA recovery and flash Fresh Rom. Rebooted phone and it was back to normal booting.
Help that helps.
I'm going through the same constant reboot to hboot loop.

My little brother has a Cincinnati Bell Blaze or Commtiva Blaze or any other of the 10 names this phone has... He flashed CM6.1 to the phone and now the phone is barely functional and shuts down 10-20 times a day at random. He has ClockworkMod Recovery on it which I'm very famailiar with as I use it on my Vibrant. He didn't make a backup of the original firmware first but I've located the original OS which is an img.tar.gz file. Is there a way to convert this to a clockwork recovery zip? And if not what would I use to flash this original Rom to the phone?
Thanks in Advance.

Anyone at all?

try this
I have my phone rooted. It is a Samsung Infuse ROGERS. I can't get past the 3e recovery. If someone could please give me instructions how to get CMW working, I am pretty confident I can do MIUI rom on my own. I have already tried this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881
I keep getting signature verification failed at 3e recovery. Can't even get to CWM screen. If someone could please help me, I would really appreciate it. Keep in mind its a ROGERS infuse, not the AT&T infuse.
You need to have a "modded" 3e recovery, that thread has a link for the instructions.
So I installed the elemental kernel and now my phone won't start up or boot into recovery. I tried to relock the bootloader and then tried the RUU files for t-mobile and telus, none worked, but I can't find one for Wind Mobile which is what my phone's original carrier was. Please help!
which kernel did you flash--have link
are you s3 or s4
i think you have to be on stock recovery for ruu, never done it so not 100% sure as i have seen diff posts on it
Apparently wiping all data from the bootloader let me access recovery, thus I have fixed the phone. Thank you though!
glad you got it--
Alright, I've gotten the twrp done and am aware you don't have to root in order to flash roms, etc, on the skyrocket. Does the same apply to radio? I'm needing to change the radio over to tmob and I've downloaded the correct one, but can't seem to find a thread that explains how to flash it. Can someone please direct me to the correct place. I'm totally supposed to be headed to bed right now and would love to have a working phone first!
Just reboot to recovery and flash the radio zip. No need to have root to do so.
You could also just flash the superuser zip and obtain root access as well
BAM! Rooted and booted
