We have Clockwork. What does Amon Ra do that's different?

Well it actually wipes correctly for one...

+10 for amon ra's recovery.

I would love to see amon ra on the epic, I had it on my hero and I like it so much more than clockwork.

+10000
I'm the same way! Clockwork Recovery is fine and all, and it gets the job done well enough. But I'm only using it because its the only option available.
I swore by Amon_RA back with my Nexus. I LOVED the fact that people made themed/different colored versions of Amon_RA and it was just better formatted/layout/buttons then Clockwork.

I, too, would love an RA-Recovery as it is so much cleaner than clockwork.

Anyone know what would actually be involved in making this happen? I'm guessing a version from another Galaxy S would be a good start?

I know NOTHING about making this work...just curious if their is any kind of update? Devs anyone working on this? God I hope so

This has been answered a hundred times. We, over at ACS, initially attempted to make this happen. The port was above us as our devices are so different than any htc device. It essentially has to be rebuilt from source. We even attempted to get the creator involved in order to help. The problem we have is he lives in europe. Obviously with the epic being cdma, there is a problem. The device is not accessible to him. Amon_ra is more than likely not going to happen.

That's to bad too. Amon Ra is so much better then clockwork. But at least you guys tried. Thanks ACS

Nice 6 month old zombie thread.

ROM Manager update for 3.0.0.5 Recovery

Check your ROM Manager to flash 3.0.0.5 and have it show correctly.

Is this for people who have flashed ClockworkMod 3 already?
Will I see this? I have ROM Manager v3.0.0.7 w/ ClockworkMod 2.5.1.3 currently.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm just a little confused.

I had the same setup as you (RM v3.0.0.7/CM 2.5.1.3) and saw the update, now I have the latest ClockworkMod Recovery 3

WOOOOHOOOOOO
Now all the threads about people not being able to get it will stop!

Ah alright so now when I get it that should allow me to install Cyanogenmod 7 then right since clockwork 3 supports ext4? I didn't do the ENG-Hboot though. I'm assuming that could prevent me from doing any Gingerbread ROM?

NOPE. That is not necessary to flash CM7. With CWM3, you are good to go.

Yeah for sure. GV has most of the gingerbread source kanged from CM7 anyway, with some visual tweaks as far as I have been able to see. With CWM3, you will be good to flash any G2 ROM that is available to us.

Sweetness. I seen that Eng-hboot in the Cyanogenmod 7. Not really sure why?
But I did Get Root using Rage & Gfree. I have never flashed back to an older recovery though.

Is this universal now or will I still need to downgrade to get back to
cm6.1.1

Ganii ran a test with it said he could flash between 2.2 and 2.3 with no problems plus he was able to do nandriods of both and restore them, so sounds like it is universal for all roms 2.2 and 2.3.
Sent from my HTC Vision

Yes,seems to be no problems there.
Come from CM7 Nightly,then I did a wipe data/factory reset.
Installed now CM 6.1.1 Froyo 2.2 ROM,works.
Did a nandroid backup,works.
Then tried to restore,works too
CWM 3.0.0.5 seems to work now with 2.2 ROMs too

i was on the 2.xxx recovery in rom manager and it prompted me to flash new recovery of 3.0.0.5. so I dont think its for people who already have 3.0.0.5

I had 3.0.0.5 already and yes it did promt me to update to 3.0.0.5 because proir to this everyones recovery in rom manager said 2.5.1.3 even if they were on 3.0.0.5, so this is for everyone.

Installed few days ago from here,but it`s the old one:
http://phones.crackflashers.com/vision/index.php?folder=cmVjb3Zlcmllcw==
Can`t restore 2.2 ROMs with this,so the recovery 3.0.0.5 which
you can download now via ROM Manager is newer.

Updated fine, just want to know do I have to partition my sd card
with ext 4 before I try cm7? I backed up my sd to my computer and
have cm7 and gapps downloaded and ready to go.

No,not needed.

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.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339654

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 .

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

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.
