Progress meter

I like this recovery a lot, great work!

One thing though: I really miss the progress meter of AmonRA. The three looping dots tells me nothing about where in the backup process I am; how long it's been running or how much (aprox.) is left.

For instance, after installing the last version of this recovery I tried making a backup, which I felt ended up taking a reeeally long time. But without the progress bar I had no indication of exactly how long, or if something was actaully wrong. (Turns out something was, and after reinstalling I found that the backup had completely flooded the remaining 3,5 GB of my sdcard).

Any chance this could be (re-)implemented? Would be greatly appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] m0narx:
In 1.0.3.4 already added current action in backup/restore but no progress bar.

Can you post size of each file in nandroi backup folder(i must know what file take your space to fix it)
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
Just flashed your newest recovery. Works fine so far. :)
[Desire Android Development] sunster:
Hi,

I had no problems flashing this recovery but when it comes up, i cannot navigate at all. The trackball, volume and power button does nothing. Only a battery pull gets me out of there.

I've tried 4 times already and each time the same thing happens. No issues using Clockworkmod or AmonRa. I'm trying to use it with Miui XJ and not sure if this matters but the recovery also did not recognize the ROM.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
Did you flash the recovery with the recovery itself or with fastboot?

If the first one, flash again with fastboot. Maybe this solves the problem.

Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
[Desire Android Development] sunster:
Thanks for the response. I tried it with recovery, android flasher and fastboot.
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
hi,

rastaman and me met same issue. see few site back.

work around were from fastboot...

fastboot devices (to be sure everything s fine)
fastboot erase cache
fastoot erase system
fastboot reboot-bootloader (from there U can go to recovery)

be caution that you should flask back your current rom or a nanbckup done with same recovery... (don t use mix cwm/AR or rmd nand bck up to restore)

this could brick your phone

advice go 4 or 5 page back such issue related (recovery frozen)

hope this help
[Desire Android Development] casacristo:
Must be you have a bad file.

I am also on MIUI XJ and just flashed RMD 1.0.3.4 from fastboot (my phone is S-OFF) and then I booted into recovery and could navigate as usual (with trackpad and volume buttons)
[Desire Android Development] sunster:
Hey Guys,

Thanks for the replies. I'll give it another go with your suggestions and hopefully it will work.

Update: Thanks again guys. Got it working and I'm glad I changed to this recovery.
[Desire Android Development] zenitraM:
I've had this same issue just after flashing a different HBOOT with a bigger /system; seems like this happens when the /system partition is somewhat corrupt or unreadable.

Fixed it by.. flashing Amon-RA, flashing from it a ROM (seems that wiped /system), and flashing RMD again
[Desire Android Development] madffrogs:
just flashed this via android flasher, all good so far, cheers.
[Desire Android Development] fllash:
Not so much bricking as causing an Insta-bootloop.

In other words, you won't exactly damage anything permanently, but the restore will do scratch all and would require a format and a ROM to be flashed or an appropriate backup to be restored.

You are right - Restoring a NANDROID from a different backup is generally a bad idea.

Just clarifying that it isn't deadly.

Cheers,

Josh.

Just to report that ext4 partition is shown in recovery as ext2. Small note to our beloved monarX ;)
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
is this recovery still being worked on?
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
Are there any bugs / issues so far?
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
yes there is... just flash a rom or wipe system and recovery freeze.

more of this, I usually got a error:

unable to write log to cache partition... (need to wipe cache partition each time boot into recovery)

actually back to amon Ar_2.0.1
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
well a handful of people get that hanging issue as reported many times and involves a system wipe via fastboot to get in. in sure that is to do with the way the recovery looks for the rom on 1st boot and crashes.

someone else has just reported ext labelling issue is back

other things he mentioned he was going to include etc

i just dont want this to vanish away and the dev to stay on it as hes made a gem right here and it doesnt get near enough interest as everyone is interested in cwm based stuff for whatever reason
[Desire Android Development] sunster:
Only one i ever had was where ext4 is shown as ext2. Other than that, it's been great.
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
Maybe collecting these issues will help monarx. :)
[Desire Android Development] bkmo:
I have seen this too but only when the ext4 partition was setup without journaling.
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Not true, if i recall correctly only a partition made by RMD Recovery would show as EXT4, if set as one of course.

If you for instance set your EXT as EXT4 with 4ext recovery and flash RMD recovery itll show as Ext2 unless you "convert" it to Ext4 using RMD...

[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
what recovery was used to back that stock rom up?

you shouldnt be applying ota updates to a rooted device. you will cause yourself a lot of problems
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
Which gives you the recovery.log?
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Using 1.0.3.4 recovery, MIUI ROM. Using OTA updates all the time. PROBLEMS: NONE.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
what ota updates are you applying? miui ones fine but lets not get it twisted. alot of people balls up their phone by applying OTA updates from HTC
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
:) Aha!

I am using custom MIUI OTA. Ofcourse HTC OTA could use problems if it contains stuff which will garble recovery and maybe HBOOT.

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] MvSt:
I'm using your recovery on my HTC Desire. It's great to work with!

But now i found out that a convert from ext2 to antother format will not appear.

After a convertion it shows a succesfull convert, but after a new start it shows the old ext2....

Is it a bug? Or a feature? :)
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
I would say it's a bug. ;) Although my partitions were shown correctly as fat32 and ext4.

Nice recovery..Only bugs I found was that recovery always says "sdcard not found", but works quite fine with files on the card.. Also some errors in parsing Rom description from build.prop-probably because we dont adhere to naming standards :)
[Desire Android Development] nyunyu:
Thanks for this awesome tool. Switched from CWM as there was an issue that gave bootloop on certain ROM. Right after I use this, all problem went away. Magic!
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
ive not seen the sdcad not found bug :/
[Desire Android Development] rkuijpers:
I have had the sd card not found problem as well, but only once, when using 4ext recovery. I fixed it by flashing RMD recovery through Android flasher, using the fix for USB brick, and after that fixing UID mismatch again using RMD discovery. Worked like a charm, never going to leave this magical recovery ever again! :D
[Desire Android Development] s4vva:
Aligned Partitions?

I noticed in the changelog that aligned partitions were 'planned for 1.0.3' given it's 1.0.3.4 does that mean it was implemented as I can't see any mention of it in the changelogs?

[Desire Android Development] mhulsegge:
Works very good for me, and love the functionality.

Unfortunately after flashing this, my phone started becoming buggy and giving issues, which finally I've identified as that the FAT32 partition had become corrupt.

Whether this was due to this recovery though I can't say.

Anyway, now working perfect again
[Desire Android Development] alfredolo:
maybe i found a bug.

I have 3 sd (2, 4 and 8gb).

I have tryed a lot of times format all of them with this recovery in fat32+ext4 partitions.

I can install a2sd rom successfull.

When i boot the phone it is block into splash screen. SOmetimes it run till "quetly brilliant" animation but reboot animation in a loop.

Only with 2gb sd i can finish the boot process and use the rom.

No way with 4gb or 8gb sd card.

I have the same problem with gparted.

I have tryed now RA-desire-v2.0.0, format the 8gb sd card in ext2, converted into ext3, converted into ext4.

It work...

Maybe a bug into partitions table ??
[Desire Android Development] peterfeter:
which rom?

After change SD-Card you flash your rom NEW?
[Desire Android Development] backfromthestorm:
Won't work for me. Says no sdcard, and won't backup or copy log file to sd. Flashes ok though. But that's it.

There was no way to install that rom on 8gb sd. When i changed the recovery with RA-desire-v2.0.0 the 8gb sd worked.
[Desire Android Development] malabisabe:
Nice work dude, its perfect!

One thing I'd highly appreciate (from any recovery) is to be able to format SD's partitions in an aligned fashion. For the sake of performances (especially when you are trying the 720p recording) that would be desirable.

As an option I mean, as the alignement is causing a part of the SD not to be available.

For your version I switched from ClockworkMod to AmonRa. :)))

I just got one question. Is there an option to rename the backups to retain overview over my backups.

I just tested one rom (gingervillain 2.6) and it doesn't insert the rom name in name of the backup. Will test now with new miui 1 6 17.

[Desire Android Development] AlxMAX:
Nice job to freshen the Amon RA recovery for Desire. Personal opinions:

It would me more appropriate to change the background. Let it be as neutral as possible.

The sources should be quoted for those who would like to compile by themselves. The starting point is github.com/AmonRA/RA-Recovery.

I don't see the point of using btrfs on an SD card because I think it doesn't bring too much of an improvement.

Aligning the partitions, as Uqbar has mentioned, would be great. Baadnwz article is a good point to start with the documentation.

I wish you luck and patience.
[Desire Android Development] m0narx:

Please, give build.prop file from you rom, i'll add support for it

[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Pretty sure he needs your build.prop to read the rom name/number whatever, editing your build.prop won't change recovery
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Ext4 exists only because at that time BTRFS wasn't ready yet and it was only meant as temporary substitute for BTRFS.

could you add a format system option in the wipes menu.

Flash RMD

Restore Nandroid Backup

Worked a charm. recovery looks nice, although hopefully I wont have to see too much of it :)

[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
Hey guys im coming from amon ra and im a bit unsure of the rmd wipe options. I experienced that wipe All data/factory reset deletes the whole card. Will wipe /data also delete everything on sd card? When i want to do a 'full wipe' when flashing a new rom, which options below do i need to choose?

Wipe

Wipe ALL data/factory reset

Wipe /data

Wipe /cache

Wipe /sdcard/.android_secure

Wipe /sd-ext

Wipe Dalvik-cache

Wipe battery stats

Wipe rotate settings
[Desire Android Development] rkuijpers:
Wipe all doesn't wipe the whole card, only all user data.
[Desire Android Development] troly:
With me is: Wipe ALL data/factory reset
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
thanks...could my sd card been wiped when i originally had a fat32 + 1.5gb ext4 and then i used rmd to make it fat32+ 1.1gb ext4 + .3bg ext +.1swap? Thought i was just messing with the ext4 partition and that the main fat32 area would be safe.
[Desire Android Development] rkuijpers:
That must have been the reason your card got messed up, not the 'wipe all data' I guess...
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Sending best wishes to you monarx! Hope you'll get well and get back soon.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
dont know if you are still watching this thread m0narx or whether you are well enough to look into it but SUroot and Myself can confirm that there is a pretty big bug with this recovery.

basically if you backup including .android_secure everything seems fine

if you then wipe the device and restore including .android_secure you will find that you have used up data and it seems its not moving apps to the sdcard even though the applications screen says you have

ive tried what i can to get the space back but i cannot
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It manifests slightly differently for me, in that it restores the /data part of the app, but the .android_secure is missing. The app still thinks its on SD card but those parts do not exist.
