if you want to load it as a PH98IMG,youll need to edit the android info text document in the file to match your current main version(2.01.605.11 if you just rooted,may be 3.xx.xxx.xx if you have flashed any ICS roms.
my advice would be not to mess with PH98IMG files,they are a PITA
download Amon RA from this thread:
[Recovery] Amon Ra style vigor - xda-developers
*then flash it temporatily or permanetly using one of these 2 scenarios. dont forget you must put the recovery image into the folder containing adb and fastboot(mini-adb_vigor if you use my directions). also make sure youre using a .img file,not a .zip file
flash a recovery
if you want to run stock,do not permanently install your recovery. keeping the stock recovery on the phone will ensure that you recieve OTAs without a hitch,wich i know is important to alot of users. YES,the OTA will break root. its no big deal. one
good thing about htcdev is that you will
always be able to reroot after,simply by following steps 2 and 3 again to launch recovery,flash superser.
once youve either skipped past all the setup,or have re-set up and are ready to root:
1)
temporary recovery:
-move the image file you downloaded above for amon RA and
place it into the mini-adb_vigor folder. (not onto your sd card)
-put the superuser zip file onto your phones sd card
-enable usb debugging once again,as above. open a cmd window,if its not still open from unlocking.
-if you had to re-open a cmd window,dont forget to change back to your mini-adb_vigor directory:
cd c:\mini-adb_vigor
-make sure youre connected by typing:
adb devices
-should return serial number
-check the md5 of your recovery image:
md5sums <recoveryname>.img
**make sure the resulting md5 matches the one that drellisdee lists for the image that you downloaded. **
-boot to bootloader:
adb reboot bootloader
-check for connectivity:
fastboot devices
-should return serial number
-temporarily launch your recovery to phone memory:
fastboot boot <recoveryname>.img
-youll see a (really fast) green status bar on the top right as your PC sends the recovery to your phone. youll then see the
HTC splash screen,then your recovery.
in your command window you will see(red are my inputs):

2)
permanently install your recovery
-move the image file you downloaded above for amon RA and
place it into the mini-adb_vigor folder. (not onto your sd card)
-enable usb debugging once again,as above. open a cmd window,if its not still open from unlocking.
-if you had to re-open a cmd window,dont forget to change back to your mini-adb_vigor directory:
cd c:\mini-adb_vigor
-make sure youre connected by typing:
adb devices
-should return serial number
-check the md5 of your recovery image:
md5sums <recoveryname>.img
**make sure the resulting md5 matches the one that drellisdee lists for the image that you downloaded. **
-boot to bootloader:
adb reboot bootloader
-check for connectivity:
fastboot devices
-should return serial number
-permanently flash your recovery to phones recovery partition:
fastboot flash recovery <recoveryname>.img
-youll see a (really fast) green status bar on the top right as your PC sends the recovery to your phone,then a (really,really fast) red bar as it flashes it. amon ra is now permanently on your phone when you need it.
be aware that you can
no longer accept OTAs,unless you reinstall the stock recovery at some point before the next OTAs are pushed.
-to get to recovery,push the power button to select hboot. once in hboot wait for the green writing to flash and disapear,then select recovery.
*note that you can still launch recovery by using the command from scenario 1 above. i reccomend doing it this way. without complex explanations,its better
-youll then see the
HTC splash screen,then your recovery.
