Ive already fixed the code to (re)allow the backup of android secure on the internal sd. Looks like I broke it in a merge a bit back. Ill update tommorow or as time allows. This will allow the option to also backup android secure on internal sd which is where your rom has it. It didnt backup the android secure in your case as it didnt exist on the external sdcard.
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
Can we get a more visable font in the next update? Red is so hard to read. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] rwc95:
I suggest two versions, I know a lot of us prefer the red some don't. I love the red myself.
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
Updated to 3.14

Changes:

Added backup/restore for android_secure on internal_sd. Internal_sd is the internal storage of device. External is the removable micro_sd. Stockish roms may have .android_secure on internal and aosp roms will always have it on external. You will need to know the location of it in your rom or else select both options to make sure its backed up.

Changed font color back to cyan blue. I'll see if its possible to have a txt file on sdcard that lets you select font color in the future (again if its possible)
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Gotta admit Cyan blue is much easier to read even though red was cool at first :)
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Could not have said it better myself.

Thanks for the color

First Update For Me

I only recently unlocked, so I have not yet had the opportunity to update an installed Amon Ra. Can anyone please let me know if anything gets erased if I am still unlocked (I know if I relocked then it would) by updating it?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Nothing gets erased at all by updating the recovery :)
[HTC Rezound] Quantumrabbit:
You lose nothing by updating a recovery.img. This is still true switching from Amon to CWM and/or back.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Version Number

Love the color. Just a quick note that the version number at the bottom of the screen still says 3.13. Not a biggie, but wanted to let you know.
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
Is it me or is the back arrow the only softkey working? Ps thanks for the cyan
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Nope; all 4 softkeys work with my 3.14 install. And I agree with everybody else, the cyan is much easier on the eyes. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
They all worked for me as well .
[HTC Rezound] Quantumrabbit:
+1 for the Cyan. Much more readable in situations where there's ambient light.
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
Redownloaded, reflashed and all is working. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Flashed... made a nand... it is named BDIS and I see android_internalsd_secure.img in there.

:)
[HTC Rezound] derickmc:
Can somebody please help with installation?

I'm coming from Clockwork Touch recovery. Its having issues so i want to install this recovery. I placed the PH98IMG.zip on the root of my SD card and booted into bootloader.. it started to read/open the file, then just does nothing... I'm not sure what else to do. I'm very new to the Rezound, Just got it a couple days ago. I'm currently running an ICS sense 3.6 ROM.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Download the v3.14 file that has a link, not the attached PHzip file, to your computer. Place it in your adb/sdk/fastboot folder. Flash it in fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.14-gnm.img
[HTC Rezound] derickmc:
Thank you. Worked great! :)
[HTC Rezound] ilkevinli:
I flashed with the 3.14 version in the 1st post but its still showing 3.13. I think its the right version because my 3.13 was in red and now this is blue. Is that a mistake in the version number ?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Mentioned earlier. Yes if it is blue you are good
[HTC Rezound] ilkevinli:
Thanks I must have missed that.
[HTC Rezound] iceman99393:
Do I just flash recovery using adb? Or do I need to do something with the ph98img using adb also?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Just flash the recovery image using adb in fastboot. Easiest way to do it. Otherwise , put the ph98file at the root of your SD and flash in the bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] xchang168:
version i still 3.13,but font color has been changed to blue.
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
Already mentioned. The blue text means the update was successful.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Technically, you are using fastboot, not adb. Adb is used when phone is booted up, fastboot is used when in bootloader.

Also, if you use the PHzip file, make sure you delete it after you flash or you could end up in a bootloop.
[HTC Rezound] xucardsfan08:
Nvm.

GOt it fixed.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
So can anyone get Koush to add this as an alternate recovery in Rom manager? Be great to flash it via rom manager instead of needing a pc to fastboot flash.
[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
Quick question. I was on 3.10 that had blue text and updated the newest 3.14 but it shows 3.13 is that right even though its supposed to be 3.14? Or should I redo it?

Edit: I see that people that came from 3.13 are still showing that even though its supposed to be 3.14. I'll just assume its good.
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
If you have the cyan text and it says 313, youre good.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
is it not possible to restore a backup made from another physical rezound?

I had regularly made backups on my old Rezound, and after unlocking and installing 3.14 on my new rezound, I simply get an error saying something went wrong. I'll pull the log file as soon as I have a working system again!
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
Yes copy the backup BCDS one into the new device serial number backup folder.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Hmmm

It is possible, it is just a REALLY REALLY REALLY bad idea.

The backup from the prior unit included specific information keyed to that unit, which would then cause your current unit to be a clone of the prior one. Should that prior one ever re-enter society, you and its new owner, will have quite the fun as things keyed to that information done on one of the phones should happen to the other as well

Do not ever restore a Nandroid from a different phone.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Never would have thought about that... Shouldn't any device specific data be in the data partition, hence it should be ok to restore /system? or am I mistaken?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I did it for my brother on the og droid..just make sure the nandroid isn't signed into Google.
[HTC Rezound] wildstang83:
Hey, I don't know if anyone else noticed it or not but this recovery has touch support. You can't just swipe. You have to press, hold, then drag. It doesnt take half the time as it would with the volume rocker :)
[HTC Rezound] GreenXSniper:
Yeah he said a while back that he was using this recovery for a tablet and put that in there and just left the code in when he made it for rezound, but i thought it was sweet too :D
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
Anyone know how to submit this to koush so we can flash from rom manager?
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
While in Rom Manager click the option/menu key on your Rezound and click "Manual Flash Override" on the screen. Thid will trick RM into thinking you have CWM installed. You still should not try to flash anything from within RM, but you can reboot to recovery or download ROMs from within the app now. To setup a ROM flash from within RM you need CWM or CWM Touch as your recovery.
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
I do :) I have roughly 5-6 of my 15 or so devices in rom manager. Since you cant flash recovery via RM nor do the cwm only backup from rom manager features work whats the point?
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
Exactly. Not to mention he hasn't updated our CWM in a couple of weeks, it's lacking in features/options, and is so much slower than AmonRa.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
Yeah, knew about that but I actually want to flash amonra from within rom manager, not just have it recognize a recovery is installed.

Backups via rm work with the official release, as does flashing within rm(for recovery at least). I just want to have the option(as many phones do) of having amonra as a flashable alternate recovery via rm.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
So figured out how you can flash a recovery(including amon ra) without even needing to reboot your phone. Download rom manager and then go to the folder it is installed to (somewhere in /data/data/com....rommanager) and copy out the flash_image binary. Put that in /system/bin/(use rootexplorer to mount r/w). Then get the recovery image you want and just type:

flash_image recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the full path/name)

Tested here and works great. No need to use fastboot or a ph98img.zip file to flash.
[HTC Rezound] xblue95:
So I just noticed my permanent root is gone! My daughter was using my Rezound for a while and I just got it back and my root is gone. She said a message about the software update popped up one day a while back, but she failed to inform me about it. Damn kids! Anyway, please, How do I get this recovery on my phone so I can reroot through Amon Ra? I have the PH89IMG.zip on my phones internal SD, I reboot into fastboot, but nothing happens. I don't see the .zip listed anywhere?

note: this phone is running STOCK, but is unlock through HTC Dev

I tried just putting the extracted recovery.img on my internal sd and still nothing? I thought doing the DEV unlock gave you s-off, but my phone says unlocked, s-on?
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
Wow did you do any research at all? Didn't think so.
[HTC Rezound] xblue95:
Well thanks, that helped a lot ace! I'm looking into it now, found some stuff on page 3 of this thread, let me see if it works.:mad:

For everyone having a little trouble, there's some good info on page 3. I finally had to reboot my mac into windows, put the recovery image (recovery.img) in the same folder as fastboot (my android SDK folder), booted my rezound into fastboot and plug it into my computer (fastboot usb). Started up command terminal, changed directory to my android SDK folder w/fastboot and typed (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) at the cmd prompt.
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
I believe that as long as you're unlocked then you should be able to flash this recovery. and once you're in the recovery go to the developer menu and there should be an option to install su. this should give you root access again.
[HTC Rezound] xblue95:
Thanks DigiDave, I got it!:D
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
You could have just answered his question instead of being a douschbag.....
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
Glad you got it! I was dumb enough to not update before rooting, and man, getting that update was a pain!

Sent from my HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
Come on... Really? He asked how to install a recovery image. This is covered in how many sticky posts and how many other threads including this one?
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Regardless...I still think you should've taken the extra two seconds to tell him what to do instead of a useless post.

People in this forum have been working well together so let's continue on that path.
[HTC Rezound] hoboballer:
I am using Amon Ra recovery and wanted to do a backup. What all needs to be checked? I am using Ineffabilis 1.3 ROM?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
The defaults plus the internal android_secure. Even just the defaults are sufficient I just add the android_secure
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Boot, data, system and android_secure_internal. Hasn't changed since yesterday. ;)

If your nand doesn't end up having android_secure then try with the other android_secure. I know v1.0 need the internal.

EDIT: didn't see Nils' answer before I posted. I never do cache which is checked by default.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I completely agree; makes no sense to backup cache; nine times out of ten if you're flashing something new you're going to wipe it first anyway. I backup both .android_secures, myself. Just force of habit.
[HTC Rezound] hoboballer:
Whats the difference between android_secure and android_secure_internal?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
One is on your actual SD Card (sdcard2) and the others is on your internal storage (sdcard)

See where your secure file is and select that option. Or just pick both and it will just backup the one that is there.
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
quick question does this recovery, support adb in recovery menu? like will it take adb reboot,recovery commands?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Yes, it will
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
Is there still a update planned to be able to fix the maindriver error from within the recovery? I swore i read that would be included?
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Just drop the mainver fix zip file on your sd card to fix it in recovery. All you do is flash it in recovery and its reset.
[HTC Rezound] illone:
How critical is it to have the latest version? I haven't updated this recovery since I rooted my Rezound back at the end of January. Also, I kind of confused on how to update to a later version. Do we flash it in Hboot? Please excuse my dumb questions. If adb is required, that's pretty much the main reason why I never bothered to update it. :) Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] nrage23:
It wipes the data partition (apps, contacts, etc) on any other device I have used, not the /sdcard.
[HTC Rezound] marclile:
I know... I learned the hard way too :) Lost all kinds of stuff.

Edit: Also, it kind of sucks that the internal storage is mounted as "sdcard" and the actual card is mounted as "sdcard2".
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
No this recovery will not wipe either of the sdcards with the wipe all/factory reset option you must use the specific option to wipe sdcards and accept the prompt after to wipe the sdcards.
[HTC Rezound] dsb9938:
Any chance you could post source?

Thanks.

[HTC Rezound] jkc120:
Sorry for the noob question, but how do I flash this recovery? I tried to do an "adb reboot recovery", but I get this icon with two green circular arrows and another green down arrow in the middle. Then I get an image of a phone with a red triangle and a red exclamation mark in the middle. What am I doing wrong? Do I HAVE to yank the battery and hold power and vol-down? Is there no other way? I don't like ripping this cover off over and over since the antenna is built into it...

*edit* Ok, just booted with power+voldown to get in and was able to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", sweet.

Just wondering if I can now use "reboot recovery" to boot into amon ra?
[HTC Rezound] church101:
So just put this file on the root of your card and boot into hboot and the presto your done ?
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
boot into bootloader, select fastboot, plug in phone, then do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
[HTC Rezound] marclile:
+1

This worked perfect.

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

so has anyone flashed a custom rom with this yet?
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
Revision.............

I would like to add that you download this file, extract the recovery.img file from it, put that recovery.img file in the same directory as your fastboot.exe, then do the command from the dos prompt:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC Rezound] church101:
Thx sorry for the moment of dumbness
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
Reboot Recovery

You can also use Quick Boot (Reboot) from the market to reboot into recovery, until we get mods / roms that have this feature built in.

I use this and it reboots my phone into Amon-Ra nicely.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
that's correct, you do need to do that first, thanks for that
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Thanks for asking. I was going out of my mind trying to figure out why hboot wouldn't flash this recovery. It should be stated in the OP this option is NOT currently available even though we've completed HtcDev.com and have perm-root. And I agree, the timing was horrible. lol

EDIT:

Okay, now I'm really confused.

EDIT:

I think I get it now. Trying now.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
What should happen after running that command? My Rezound is still in fastboot usb and the dos box has "waiting for device." I'm thinking I should kill adb which is still running, yes?
[HTC Rezound] qudwis:
what is the difference between this Amon Ra recovery and CWM recovery?
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
I'm at the same screen in CMD. My ADB wasn't picking up the device so I booted it up normally then ran the command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

It hung on "Waiting for devices"

I'm also in fastboot again and it won't pick up my device. Any thought?

Also, how do I kill ADB? It's been a while since I've done that.
[HTC Rezound] dsb9938:
If adb and fastboot don't see your phone, you need drivers.

D
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
ADB can find my device when it's fully loaded after a reboot. It's only during fastboot, it can't find it. What now? Any help would be awesome.

EDIT:

The above worked. This was a crucial step I was missing. Being used to booting pgimg.zip files in hboot was throwing me off.

Just to reiterate so others don't have the same issue.

1) Do not hboot this. Do not try and copy this to the root of your SD card.

2) Download PH98IMG.zip

3) Unzip it, place the recovery.img in the same directory as your fastboot.exe. Mine is C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.

4) Open up cmd prompt, go into that directory..C:\android-sdk-windows\tools then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
yea, sorry about the confusion...my original post was taking into consideration that people knew that unlocked bootloaders wouldn't flash it directly and that you had to use fastboot
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
I have this recovery installed, however, I noticed there were a couple "options" available for additional items to back up. IIRC it was "Android_Secure" and "Recovery".

I have always used CWM so is it necessary to backup those two options as well? What did you guys do?
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Firstly, to update it's just like flashing the recovery for the very first time. Flash it in fastboot in the same file directory along with your fastboot.exe & ADB files. Nothing really changed in that regard.

Also, I think the newer versions just fixed issues with the android_secure file and changed colors of the text. If you're not having issues or don't mind the color red, it's not really necessary to update.
[HTC Rezound] illone:
Thanks! Actually my font color is cyan, so I may have a very old one. Haha. Yeah my laptop is becoming unstable since I haven't had time to wipe and reload so I usually go to my friend's house who already have adb set up. Thanks for info, at least now I know that the update is not too critical.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Also, I read a post by scrosler that said for ICS v3.10 is better, but I don't know exactly why. So if you're on ICS don't update.
[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
I have the newest version 3.14 and have never had a problem with ICS or even from going between ICS and GB

Sent from my ICS Rezound
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
This is false info. All users should update. Recovery is independant of what version of android you are using. Doesnt matter if you have 1.5 cupcake or 5.0 jellybean.
[HTC Rezound] MicroMod777:
How do I change text color. I have .img unpacked in Linux. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] DbZ Gokuu:
So no way to update without pushing via adb?
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
You may be able to do it via a PH98IMG or something like it and flash in hboot, but that's far more work than typing one command in adb/fastboot
[HTC Rezound] james_pnut:
Here is a link to phimg98.zip file rename it to that. Also its for mainver 2.01. Something.

[HTC Rezound] renzo.olivares:
mind making an amon ra ver for those who flashed new ics firmware mount points for internal_sdcard changed
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
In my case i think my external Sd changed, because that is the one I can't access any longer except through recovery.

Edit: I flashed back to my stock backup I made after RUU and I am able to mount both SD's as normal once again. Root explorer also sees external sd once again so in my case I think it was the fact the new build doesn't play well with the older roms for some reason.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
this is due to the fact that you are now on ICS firmware.

up until this point the all ICS ROMs, minus Scotts new rebase of this leak v4.0..

all were using hacks to make things like seeing the external sd card in root explorer possible.

you can only use ROMs rebased using the new leaked RUU. Scott has already updated, I suggest that anyway. All the DEVs here are just amazing.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Thanks Andy, I found out all of this the hardway lol.. luckily I got it all fixed and getting ready to flash Scott's rom. I agree all the Devs are incredibly amazing.
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
There is no need to as recovery is Independant of your OS version.
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
Perhaps he meant that the mount points changed on the firmware level and would affect all partitions. I'm sure you're busy but perhaps someone who flashed the new leak as an RUU can provide you with information that may help you discern the answer to the question posed.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
It works fine with the stock rom and roms built off the new base. The problem with mounting was caused by new firmware and old roms.
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
I can't mount internal sdcard in recovery so no it isn't working
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
probably going to need an updated recovery from what im reading. im going to wait to pull the trigger on ICS.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
So you upgraded Radios and firmware using the RUU , flashed a new rom built off the new base and still can't mount your internal Sd card ? which rom are you on ? I thought Scrosler had the only rom built off the new base out already.
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
Edit: I'm running the stock ruu rooted so it has nothing to do with what Rom I'm on

I'm talking about in recovery I cannot mount internal sd. The recovery has the wrong mount points
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Well , sorry no idea then. Everyone that had mounting issues had either not updated the radios and ran the update software or updated radios and RUU then tried to run backups or flash roms that were still on the old base. So in your case your on the new RUU, rooted with new radios and can't mount then I have no idea why you can't.
[HTC Rezound] tbogs:
I have flashed the latest ICS leak and have had no problems so far. I even had to select a factory reset to get Amon Recovery to be recognized as the recovery. Now the problem I'm running into is when I select Wipe ALL data/factory reset I get this message:
