[Q] Amon Ra recovery?

Has anyone come across a compatable version of amon ra's recovery yet. Clockwork is godd but I like amon ra better?

From my understanding... Amon Ra is no longer being developed for any platform... but that statement is based off something a heard a month or so back... so take it as you will...

Never say never. The source code is out there and plenty of people like the Amon_Ra recovery including myself. Heck if I can up to speed I may take a crack at it myself although I still have a lot to learn before I feel confident enough to work on that one. I am sure there are folks who are willing and able to take it on. Just give it time.

Ya I really wish AR recovery would come to are vibrants, only time will tell.

I feel that Amon's recovery was the best, I hope someone ports that to this phone

don't they all do the same thing?

I may put up a ubuntu VM for this. Im on a mac. So it makes it hard to use the rom kitchen and do things.
but, anyone on linux could port this. using the tools.

Love AR on my MT3G can't wait to get my Vibrant so would really love it if I could use the sameish recovery.

Have it on my g1. Quick, simple and convenient.

I have Amon Ra Carebear Recovery on my MT3G Fender
I think we should hold him at gun point.

I'll be straight up honest here. I freaking BOUGHT clockwork mod recovery and it NEVER worked on my G1. So, yeah. Hate clockwork and very worried about having to use it as the sole recovery...

why the hell would you buy it? its free.

This is my first Android phone, and CWM Recovery has been working flawlessly for me.
I should research what AR recovery is

Nice way of reviving a thread from 2+ months ago....
And clockwork can be bought for premium features + supporting the dev

I bought as well.
A bunch of the Android community has this idea in their heads that everything should be for free.
If I feel a dev deserves it for their app, I'll buy.
Back on topic tho... On my G1 I also always used AR recovery and loved it way more than the Clockwork I have to use now on my Vibrant. Tho I have to say that I've not experianced anything bad with it, I just was use to AR and loved it back in my G1 days

[Request] Amon_RA

Can anyone try to get Amon_RA going for Epic 4G? We need something better than Clockworkmod. Sometimes, I have to wipe 3x to get a proper wipe of the base system. I can provide hosting for the files for who ever wants to do this port.

Attention Amon
+1 for Amon RA Recovery. Its always been a staple of this thing we do. I do like clockworks data restore feature and i bet Amon has cooked something up wich is similar.

You might wanna try asking Forcytos. He did some really nice work on the recovery image for the Moment, which seemed to have more features and a better reputation than Clockwork.

Send Bart a message and ask him to. We have contacted him numerous times and he just is not interested in the Galaxy Line "german" I Even offered to send him an Epic to work on still no go. But as I said put some pressure on him show him people really want it and maybe he will actually listen. But as it stands he has stated several times NO!

Somene needs to port it to all the Galaxy S devices.

Once it gets done for one the others will be easy.Its getting it done for that first one that will be hard.

Clockworkmod recovery

Being as TWRP days are numbered and amon ra isn't really active any longer it looks like CWM is the last of the mohicans for the moment.... Does anyone know the lastest version or even better a download link for the PC36IMG.

You probably won't get many responses other than you need to 'search' before you ask so I will say the same, Google and search is your friend but do yourself a favor and don't use CWM and use Amon Ra instead. Less headaches later.

Thank you... I did search for about an hour however there seems to be no centralized location for it and no real way of finding the lastest version... The link you provided has a version 3 however Goo-inside.me has a version 5. I see CWM is not well regulated.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

I would assume the best way if you truly want CWM is download Clockwork Rom Manger from the Market and install the recovery from there. That is what I usually did in order to get the newest version etc.

Yeah... Thanks again. I guess I'll be doing it that way... I really don't want CWM but that seems to be the last one standing for the moment. I like amon ra but its not getting updated so its days are numbered and TWRP is pretty much done for support ... TWRP 2 has some problem that has Kevin telling EVO owners to go back to TWRP 1 or some other recovery so that's not good.

Did you actually read the link that waterbound posted for you for Amon RA? That's the latest version, and is being actively developed.
If your problem is not knowing where to find the latest version, that's easy enough to solve.

Amon Ra doesn't need to get updated. It's fine as it is

Clockwork has a website too, don't have the link onhand but u can get to it thru the new no root tether that koush released the amon RA style recovery is currently being actively developed and has full capacitive function saving your volume and power hardware buttons alot of stress, I'm currently using v3.11 and it works great v3.10 had an error wiping sdext but versions 3.07 3.08 and 3.11 work great and its seems to be getting updates every week or so
Edit: twrp 2 has been oddly turning security back on in bootloader and bricking some evos when flashing a rom that's y it is recommended to go back to v1 unless you want to run the risk of having a fancy paperweight

Lol thanks noob couldn't remember if it was just clockworkmod and if the dot was .com or what I haven't used clockwork in a really looooooong time

Hey guys... What's your opinion of the advantage of Amon Ra over the others? I've used CW and TWRP and had 100% success with CW and problems with TWRP (gets stuck losing recovery console sometimes and failed recoveries).
Other than wearing out my mechanical buttons on the phone, CW is great.
So what's the deal with AR?

[Q] Interested in ROMs!!!

I just rooted w/Captain_Throwback - Unrevoked version, and everything checks out.
I am now interested in trying out the various ROM's out there, and was just wondering am I just restricted to the ClockWorkMod development, or can I venture out into the unknown/related to ClockWorkMod development choices...???

Cwm is just one recovery. I personally use amon ra. Most roms are signed and can be flashed with both. Just a matter of preference really.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Yeah your right Amon Ra, seems to be a better Recovery. It also gives you a lot more abilities while in HBoot, Thanks...! I will keep an eye out for signed ROM's, again thanks for the advice.

Signed or not doesn't matter with amonra. You can flash both. Its cwm that needed signed roms. Although that might have changed in the last two years since I've used cwm lol.

At OP, you said you used captain throwback method and unrevoked. I'm surprised captains method didn't include amonRA out of the box,...I know he strongly advises amon,... as do pretty much all of us on the Evo forum.
As to what you can flash, like THREESTRIPEBAND said, you can flash any rom in the Evo forum. I know I've looked at Sammy forums and was a bit confused because the rom title would specify it's a CWM ROM or Odin ROM, which I don't understand what your recovery has to do with your ROM, but it ain't like that here. (Maybe it's a kernel or signature issue when dealing with sammys ? )
Anyhow, you got tons of choices here. Happy flashing.

It does'nt matter if a rom or any other zipped file is signed or not,when you want to install it,the reason for signing is a digital signature a developer puts on his developement,so noone can edit it and say its theirs.

Oh, it does include and recommend RA recovery. However, if you don't follow my tip to have unrevoked install RA recovery, then you end up with CWM. I guess people don't like my tips .

Amon RA style 4.0

Someone actually took my idea of the auto reboot seriously, epic win. Thanks.

going to have to flash this later

So, will this be backward compatible with older amon ra backups?
And thanks for heads up.

For me when I tried to do a nand restore and reboot my phone like usual it kept sending me to the bootloader. so I tried turning off the phone then turn it back on still sent me straight to boot loader. Flashed a rom rebooted and didn't get sent to boot loader..hmm
Sent From My Evo 4G Amped Up On Verizon Tower Power!

flashed this afternoon have been working fine for me for a few flash fixes and what not so far

I flashed this version over the old version and when i went to restore a rom,it sent me to the bootloader,then i tried it again,i got stuck in a bootloop,since im the kind of person that doesnt give up easy,i tried it again and it finally restored my rom,i booted back into recovery from the rom and the damned recovery went back to the old version,now how is that?Too weird,i think ill just stick with the older version for now.

Diablo, just a thought, doesn't the newer version of ra allow for backup of recovery? (I still use old ra 1.80). If so, did your nandroid contain recovery?

Yes and no.

I didn't post this on xda yet for a reason, so it would be good practice to ask the person doing the work if they want it shared broader first.
That being said, the issue with restoring has to do with the flash_image binary possible getting wiped if you're doing wiping before your restore. (<-- that's not the case)
If you just restore, it should work fine. I've pulled it offline for now until I get it fixed. Thanks. Also, if you want to help, please provide me some feedback on the rootz thread for now.

you guys should really be respectful to developers and not cross post stuff without even asking. sometimes there's a reason "why" they don't share here first. i think you just found out why in this case. is it really THAT hard to send a pm? it's not like you made the discovery of the year or something by doing this. instead you've caused people to probably have problems with their recovery that could have been avoided had you NOT put this thread on here and copied over smelkus zwiki link before HE was ready to do it himself. have fun.

for now 3.11 by dellisdree. When smelkus issues get ironed out then his will be the best.
