Amon Ra Fail

hi all. I already Unlock the Bootloader, I flash the Amon Ra 1.5.3, it works. I made the Nandroid backup, then after reboot it doesn't work. is going to original recovery (see triangle with exclamation mark in the middle). what can I do? I was trying several times but same results. Amon Ra recovery is working only until reboot... What I have done wrong? thanks in advance

You have to flash a ROM after flashing the Recovery for the Recovery to stick, if the same principle from the G1 transfers over to the N1... ie, flash Recovery, boot into it, flash a ROM, you are good to go.

I mean. it will not remain if I will not flash a custom rom?

Are you flashing from sd or fastboot?

from fast boot. i was following the steps from http://androidcommunity.com/forums/...ing-amon-ras-recovery-on-the-nexus-one-30499/.

A nandroid backup does not have the proper permissions/formatting for your system to boot.
You need to nandroid
then fastboot flash boot boot.img, etc

DELETE......

wow way for them to steal my outdated tutorial..... bastards

Have you already flashed (through OTA or manually) the last update released by google? If yes you need to delete (you must be root for this) the install-recovery.sh you find in /system/etc:
Code:
adb shell
cd system
cd etc
rm install-recovery.sh
By deleting this file I solved this problem of having to reflash the recovery after each rom reboot

ok. so, finally, someone can post one link or a explicit tutorial about how to install this recovery? at least one link would be good enough.. ... thanks

that didnt help..

you obviously didnt search hard enough as its listed under EVERY release thread for amons ra recovery
but ill post here for you anyways since im a nice guy
via terminal on phone (must have root)
Code:
Copy name_of_recovery.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/name_of_recovery.img
also you can partition your sd card via your pc, mac or linux box.. you do not need ra recovery to do that..

ok.. i've tried that with about 4 diff recovery images.. when i type su and hit enter, it should ask for superuser permissions, right? well, it opens a new window that says superuser request in the corner (where the name of the app is), but it's a blanks screen.. i cant allow the superuser permissions if it wont give me the option to do so..

update: i tried it without the su.. i did the
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img
but all i got was a dollar sign.. i rebooted into recovery, and i'm still stuck on cyanogen 1.4 recovery..

You need SU. It gives you Root Access. You need Root Access.

ok.. when i open the superuser permissions app, i get nothing.. just the app name right under the notification bar..

update: now i have SU (the problem was with the ROM i was running..), but when i try to flash the recovery image, i get:
error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img header: I/O error
help!!

update 2: SUCCESS!! the problem was that i had other files on my sd card.. i'm such a nOOb.. thanks to everyone that helped..

[Q] Clockwork Mod Recovery 3.0.0.5

I had the Clockwork Mod 3.0.0.5 flashed and was running CM7. But when I tried to go back to complete stock, I flashed back to CM 2.5 or whichever one was the latest official CM. I then restored my nand backup of the original rom. Now I'm trying to flash back CM 3.0.0.5 via terminal emulator, but it keeps spitting out an error of flash_image not found. I have the CM 3.0.0.5 labeled as recovery.img, and thru terminal I typed in the following:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
but it keeps spitting out the same error over and over again. Is there another way how I can flash to 3.0.0.5?

[Q] Help With ClockworkMod Recovery Downgrading

Hello,
I am currently running Rom Manager 3.0.1.0 with ClockworkMod Recovery version 3.0.0.6. I'm trying to install GorillaSense DHD-MT4G Revolution theme on my phone but, I can't seem to install the update due to the ClockworkMod version. I need to downgrade to 2.5.1.2. When I do this through the Rom Manager it states that I have successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery but when I reboot into recovery, it doesn't load.
The versions available to me is 3.0.0.6 and 2.5.1.4. Is there any way I can get access to 2.5.1.2 again?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well if you have Rom Manager 3.0.1.0 then yes you can flash Recovery 2.5.1.2 by going to Rom Manager and go down to the last option "All clockworkmod recoveries". Find 2.5.1.2 from the list and it will flash it for you.

Thank you for your quick reply. My problem lies in the fact that Rom Manager states that I have successfully flashed 2.5.1.2 but when I try load boot into recovery the recovery does not load.

Well in that case manually flash it via terminal. Just put the 2.5.1.2 recovery.img in SDCard and flash it.

You will need flash_recovery file which you can find by using search function along with 2.5.1.2.img this meth works as I did it always.
EDIT: Sorry if you can't find it but here is the atth as I keep backup of almost everything on mSD.BkP so download it and unzip them in root of your /sdcard so you will have standalone flash_recovery and recovery.img in it.

Thanks for all your help. That worked perfectly.

No problem glad could help, thats why I love console(terminal) once you understand SC and basic *nix arc you can virtually rip apart anything without any GUI frame.

Had a similar issue and followed your directions above in terminal. After I enter in the last line and hit enter, is it supposed to show something going on because it just goes to the next line. I downloaded your attached clockwork file and put it on the root of my SD card. Thanks for any help.

I don't quite remember what happens after you enter the last command on the terminal but, the only command I entered when I downloaded the files and extracted it to the root was "su[enter]
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img[enter]"
After that I was able to boot into recovery.
Another option is deleting the copy of the recovery in your SD card and redownloading it with ROM Manager. Just go to: /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries. Delete recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-glacier.img, redownload and try loading it with Rom Manager again.
Hopes this helps.

Q: Root works in su but not apps

Hey folks, I just updated to .21 and reran rootkeeper. That restored su to /system/bin. I can adb in and get root just fine. However if I run the superuser app or titanium it always fails getting root.
Code:
[email protected]:/system/bin # ls -l su
ls -l su
-rwsrwsr-x root root 22228 2012-05-06 13:22 su
Anyone have any suggestions as to why this is?

Just to follow up. I tried running vipermod, that failed (both option 1 and 3), and I figured I'd boot into recovery and just wipe, but all I get is the "dead android" picture. From what I read, to restore stock recovery I need cwm. To flash cwm, I need root for recoveryinstaller. I have root through adb, is it possible to flash cwm via adb?
I'm really stuck here. All I want to do is wipe and restore this baby to stock.

Try copying the su from system/bin and paste it to system/xbin
run RecoveryInstaller after that to install CWM

Done that already too. No dice.

The "dead android" is the stock recovery.
You can try Wolf's method to flash the recovery blob.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622628
or you can go back to .17, root with ViperMod, use OTA Rootkeeper and OTA back to .21

Really? They must have changed the recovery since the HC roms, because I remember this having some options in recovery back then...
Ok, I'll give flashing the recoveryblob a shot. thanks for the help!

Hey, thanks base. It worked perfectly. I was able to get cwm flashed, flashed su+bb, backed up everything with titanium and we're all good. You've been a great help!
