So, will this be backward compatible with older amon ra backups?

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.

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.

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.
Hello guys!
I cant seem to get clockwork 3.0 installed, all i can get is AR-2.2.x, so i was wondering on how i can get 3.0 so i can do an official nandroid backup, and also is there a thread that has the evo shift radios posted. I couldnt seem to find them and i want to make sure i have them current so i can experience 4G correctly when i go on vacation! thanks!!!

by AR do you mean Amon-RA 2.2.x? I tried his recovery for the EVO just to see if it would work and I couldn't get it to boot into recovery. I would love to see an Amon-RA based recovery and would happily donate to get one. I know Cloverdale was working on porting it over, but he doesn't have much time to work on it.
Yes that's what I meant by AR, the way I got it, was by putting one of the imgs from another post and booted to recovery, and had it update the recovery menu.. I never did this on my orkiginal evo but is it key to backup my wimax keys?

I hope I have time to do it soon. There have been some major issues at work, and I do not have a spare moment these days.
i had clockwork mod but wanted to try amon ra so i flashed it and now cant get rid of it.. anyone know how?
you can use rom manager to flash the latest CWM recovery or if you have the recovery image file you can flash it via flash_image with adb or terminal emulator
the command would be something like
flash_image recovery filename.img
Keep Amon....there is NO good reason to use Clockworkmod.
IMO Amon is a better choice than CWM. I have seen lots of issues with CWM and Rom Manager while Amon RA has had fewer and seems to do a better job. If you are certain you want to switch, go here and follow the directions to get CWM 2.6.0.1

The only evidence I can provide is the number of times I had issues with installing roms and had major problems. As soon as I switched to AmonRa all the problems disappeared. Some say the AmonRa clears Dalvik and cache much better. Give it a try.... you can easily switch back and forth.

That's a good point. If you don't mind, I'll share a couple things from my limited experience:
1. Amon-Ra allows you to select which partitions to wipe, making flashing new roms much easier and more intuitive.
2. It allows you to select which partitions to include in nandroid backups as well
3. CWM is no longer backward compatible with older types of flash package scripts. I don't entirely understand this, but I needed to flash rooted OTA 3.70 a few times and had to downgrade my CWM.
Sadly, I'm currently unrooted because of a new phone and the stupid GB OTA update. My own stupid fault, but I'm jealous of any custom recovery at this point...

1) you can format any partition in CWM
2) you can choose advance restore when doing a nandroid restore
3) this is well explained in Koush's thread regarding amend vs edify scripting
i understand where you're coming from tho, & i'm sorry you have an unrooted device... i'm not sure how i'd handle that if it was me lol
however on the flipside
i was just vaguely making a point that perhaps all these people who claim Amon_ra is sooo much better are often times the same people who claim they've wiped cache/dalvik 18x & are still having problems.
i personally have no problem with either recovery, they both do exactly what they are supposed to. its quite disrespectful to Koush who is an awesome part of the whole picture. Without him supporting & creating CWM for the crazy amount of devices, where would we all be right now? Not to mention he's a huge part of cyanogemod & for everyone to say his recovery is garbage isn't kosher imo.
its personal preference & honestly none of this has anything to do with the OP & the question he had lol
i mean no hard feelings about anything i've said, so i hope nobody takes offense.

Sounds reasonable to me. I never figured out how to do those things with CWM, but I was new to rooting at the time and eventually switched to Amon-Ra
By the way, did the person who started this thread ever figure out how to get back to CWM? Doesn't CWM have PC36IMG.zip that you can download and allow to flash?
Only reason I ever switched to Amon's recovery is for the older script support, and really I don't even use that unless it's for a theme for a rom or something. I'm just too lazy to switch back to CWM lawlz.

It's Dominos Pizza vs. Pizza Hut. Everyone likes Pizza, some like Pizza Hut, most like Dominos. You can't fault either side, but you can't realistically just proclaim your preference is better either.
I used CWM for awhile, I like AR better. That's just me, and for some reason, most people agree. I really don't think it's a case of the blind following the blind.
Most of the heavy hitters use AR. If for no other reason, that's good enough for me.

Major changes:
Backups now use tar over yaffs for everything except mtd partition. Backups got way faster.
Backups now preserve the filesystem type at time of backup. Restores will restore the appropriate filesystem type at restore.
Silly to ask, but any screen shots?

3.0.0.5 always flashes correctly , assuming you do the correct wipes, you can go from froyo to gb and back with no issues, unlike every cwm version for galaxy s devices you brick almost everytime you go from froyo to gb and back, because the kernels dont match or some b.s

Hey.
im all new to this with rooting a phone, did a test to root my phone with AAHK with no result, i can enter bootloader och recoverymode. but it stays on the white screen with htc logo when i start it up. I regret that I gotten myself into this because its to much for me. so now i will put my sd card in another phone to put over the PD98IMG.zip file there, and then load it up via my bootloader, and now to my question, when i enter that stock rom of PD98IMG, will it be in stock so i can upgrade the official android updates to 2.3.5 and sense 3.0 from there?

The inspire got an update from at&t last week (it's the phone I have). The hack kit can't root it yet - well, so was the message from last week. If you go to the irc room it's posted on top. I haven't checked since then.
The part about "what jave you read" is that the user is setting himself up to be spoon fed everyrhing. He needs to read. After have been answered that question, most likely he would come back and ask more questions. We should help but without spoon feeding them all the answers. A few are fine.
Edit: nevermind, coffee still hasn't kicked in. Just re-read hist post and it seems he is not interested in rooting anymore.
