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wow way for them to steal my outdated tutorial.....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

Lucky me 'cose I already done the nandroid backup, otherwise........ so I install again the Amon Ra recovery and I roll back the backup.... please help with one good tutorial regarding root.

[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] How to flash 3..0.0.6

How do you Flash this because I was thinking of flashing Royalginger

Flash it the way you flash any recovery, via fastboot or in the terminal emulator.

Store just the .img on your SDcard, then from ADB commands.
Code:
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

And if that doesn't work (it didn't for me...I got a flash_image error possibly because my ROM doesn't contain the proper binary), the fastboot command is
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Its not going through when i type the commands

What error are you getting?

You have to setup ADB up first! See this thread for instructions on how to do that.

no but i will now

why dont flash from recovery? easier i guess. just boot to recovery then flash zip from sd card and follow the instruction.
weird is that afterward in the rom manager my cwm version is still 3.0.0.5

According to option94 who made version 3.0.0.6, he says here that that is normal. What's really weird is that ROM Manager still says I have 2.5.1.2 installed!

from within the Clockwork ROM manager it will only pick up officially supported recoveries. You must boot into recovery to see what version [actual] it is .

Because it is more "fool proof" to flash it manually. The flashing method do work but flashing manually is always recommended.

I know that, but I thought it would show the latest official version, which is 3.0.0.5. I'm not sure why it thinks I still have 2.5.1.2.

Cant get into recovery

Ok I have no idea what happened but I can not get into recovery mode. Rom manager takes me straight to bootloader and selecting recovery in bootloader takes me back to bootloader...! I've tried reflashing recovery via clockwork but no go, and flashing old 2.X.X versions gives me an error...
Help?

ROM Manager seems to be the least reliable way to flash the recovery. Try flashing it through terminal emulator or better yet, if you have the engineering SPL, do it through fastboot.

If you don't know how though you could try a reinstall of rom manager and if your running a custom rom boot straight into recovery from there to see what happens

The thing is that is how I have always done it and how I did it with this phone originally but something got messed up somehow. Anyhow how do I flash that with Terminal? I have never done that before. Do you have a link to a totorial and a download for clock work that can be flashed that way?

First download CWM 3.0.0.6 from here and put the file in the root of your SD.
Then open terminal emulator and enter these commands:
Code:
$su
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Im kind of a noob but did you reflashing cwm via adb? Do some research first though.
Also I think there is a trick to flash an older cwm via adb and then flash an older romm that needs cwm 2.xxx but I could be wrong

Download a new copy of CWM from here. Rename the file "recovery.img" and put it in the root of your SD card. Then start ADB and enter:
Code:
adb flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

See my post in your other thread. It sounds like your recovery is fine, so all you need to do is wipe and re-flash.
