did you boot the phone to fastboot mode?

if you got the AmonRa recovery installed boot to recovery and then when you are in recovery under the developer menu there is an option to install su and superuser.
if you still have the phone connected and are up and running, just use "adb reboot recovery" from the command prompt to reboot into recovery
i dont have any option for the su and superuser... i keep thinking everytime the cmd prompt box says sending recovery writing recovery im going end up with su but i dont...
If you have already successfully installed Amon Ra, skip to 1. below. If not, you write the Amon Ra recovery to the bootloader by opening a command prompt on your PC, navigating to the directory where you put adb and fastboot from the SDK. You should have also put the Amon Ra image there. I simply copied mine there and renamed it to image.img. Your phone must be booted to fastboot and connected to the computer with settings as in the OP. After all of that is true, type the command "fastboot flash recovery image.img" ( without the quotes, in my case I typed for the recovery image "image.img", because that's what I re-named it)
1. After successfully pushing the Amon Ra recovery to the phone, power down.
2. Take the battery out and replace it.
3. Reboot by holding down the volume down and power keys until the phone reboots into fastboot.
4. Use the volume keys to select recovery and then press the power key.
5. From the recovery menu use the volume keys to select advanced and then press the power key.
6. From the advanced menu use the volume keys to select install superuser and press the power key and let the phone do its thing.
7. Power down, reboot and you will be rooted.
I hope this helps...
when you install the amonra recovery, you are only installing recovery, you are not actually rooting. once the recovery has been flashed, you can then boot to that custom recovery to install the su and superuser to be to use root. you need to make sure that you have custom recovery flashed first.
I have flashed Amon_Ra. When I go to recovery, it shows CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4. I thought that when I flashed the Amon_Ra recovery, it would overwrite whatever recovery was on my device. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.Do you need help rooting? Instructions are in the OP. And yes, rooting is a different process for each phone.

I have flash Amon_ra recovery 3 different times and it still says CWM.Did you open up ROM Manager and maybe install CMR through that on accident? You can always re-download the amonra recovery to make sure you didn't accidentally install or lose the amonra one, also make sure you are fastboot usb mode.
