Root Getting to recovery

I feel dumb...

Downloaded CM7 and was going to flash it to my phone coming from Fresh3.5....

I have ROM manager premium and was using Clockwork 3.0.0.5(i think that is the version)...anyway I could not get my phone to boot into recovery using Clockwork...it would sit at the white HTC EVO screen and never get any further, i let it sit for over an hour. I tried booting into recovery, installing ROM from SD card, and the other avail options....no luck

Eventually I chose to flash amonRA and went into recovery without any problem, i still dont know why i had issues with CW. After getting into recovery i immediately installed the C7.zip, now it sits at the blue skateboarding screen in a boot loop every time i turn the phone on. I am very aware that I should have wiped cache and dalvik as well as making a backup, but in my haste i did not think to look for these options.

My Question: Can I get back into recovery at this point? If so, how?

2nd: If I were to activate an old Blackberry and then got my EVO working again would I be able to reactivate the EVO? or would that not be possible because of rooting the phone...?

Thanks in advance

This was also posted on Cyanogen's site but I thought I would post here as well because it really doesnt have a lot to do with the ROM itself.
 
You can switch between phones, but you'd have to call sprint each time. This shouldn't be too hard to fix, though, so don't bother with that. Pull the battery out, then turn the phone back on while pressing and holding volume down. That will take you to hboot (white screen). Select the recovery option, which will take you back to Amon RA. Wipe cache, dalvik, and data (and system, too, if you have the latest RA or a format all flashable zip), then reflash the ROM. Reboot after that, and you should be good to go. Of course, if you have a nandroid backup, you can choose to just restore that from recovery as well, assuming you made a backup in RA. If you only made it in CW, you'd need to reflash CW, first.
 
thanks for the quick reply. I will try this when I get near my phone again.

How can I flash back to clockwork from amon ra? I havent backed up with amon before...

Thanks again
 
You can find CW in the link in my sig, along with instructions on how to flash it. Let me know if you have any questions.
