You can just connect the phone to the computer and run "adb reboot recovery" that way you don't have to battery pull :D then you can run the fastboot command to flash the recovery. cd to the directory were you normally would for fastboot, and adb is in the same place.

thanks didnt know that i could do it that way... another question while i got you here hope you dont mind but if i kept rom manager couldnt i just install su from market? or is it diff?

well you need su (often time referred to as the binary hack that actually gives you root) and then the superuser app itself just manages that root access. so its not as easy as installing the superuser app if you have not already actually rooted the phone by pushing the exploit. you can keep rom manager if you want just don't flash its recovery lol and you can actually use ROM manager to boot into recovery by using that option, even though you don't have that recovery installed.

thats just what i did i reflashed but kept rom manager... i didnt do anything in amon ra recovery with su this time do i have to? i still have root... i did create nandroid backup in amon ra recovery can i rename and move it to sd2?

the only time you need to reroot is if you flash back to stock, most ROM are already rooted and even after a factory reset, you just need the superuser app from the market.

I generally leave backups as is, i never move them or rename them, as it can cause the recovery to not be able to find it when you need to restore it. If you really want you can just make a copy and place in a folder on your computer for safe keeping.

thank you your help is greatly appreciated...

Yes you can take the battery out. You want to be in HBOOT to install AmonRa. After you pull the battery put it back in, then hold down power and volume down until you see a screen that says "Fastboot". Plug into your PC and if you have the necessary files, open a command prompt and change directory to your android SDK. Then issue the command "fastboot flash recovery <path to amon-ra .img file>" That will flash amon ra. Then you can choose the recovery option on your phone and you're in. You need to make sure to replace the battery covery when before you boot back into the phone otherwise you won't have any reception.
