I've had issues with trying to restore nandroid backups. Stops almost immediately and says oops, something went wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
Is this an old Nandroid or what? From my experience in messing with CWM and Amon 2.3 and all of that, this RECOVERY is hands down the best one out there! If you got issues with this recovery, no disrespect BUT is most likely something you DID because I've done everything I could to this Recovery to try to find something to gripe about and so far.......NOTHING to complain on my end!

Oh and I think I speak for everyone on Team D.I.R.T when I say that we officially support his RECOVERY!! smelkus is good peoples!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
The next thing recovery says after "Oops... something went wrong!" is "Please check the recovery log!"

If you try to restore a nandroid and it fails, go back to the Other menu move the recovery.log to sd and post a pastebin link or attach it. The log would say what happened.

What version are you on? What are you trying to restore (which options, what type of restore - CWM or Ra, etc.)? Can't say much about your problem without more information.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robobob1221:
Very nice recovery, so many options! Made me move from twrp which I prefered to the original amon ra.

I wondered though one thing I liked about twrp was its flash menu allowed to select multiple .zips to be selected and flashed and clear dalvik+cache option.

I dunno if this has been covered in another thread/post, but could this be added in, with the addition of auto reboot at the end? Is it possible/doable?

Great overall functions, I only just discovered the touch scrolling. Simple things please simple minds!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
Clear cache and dalvik is the first wipe option. It's called Wipe Caches.

I'd love to have multiple zip flash options too. TWRP has a lot of nice features I have been looking at.

Glad you like the recovery! Feel free to throw any other ideas out. Not that I can do it necessarily, but like hearing ideas.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robobob1221:
I meant that the wipe caches option was included in the multiple flash menu. So you could line up the multiple zips and have auto wipe and reboot all in one go without navigating back after. I'm a lazy so and so.

私はローボーボブ。 Haro！！
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
Oh. That is a good idea. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Undead46:
I'm having a huge issue right now...

I did a Nandroid backup and then did a superwipe and flashed a stock_ss rom to update my PRL & Profile. Now trying to go back into recovery to restore my nandroid backup, but my phone doesn't boot into recovery when holding Volume Up + Power, it just vibrates 3 times and my screen remains black... What do I do??

EDIT: Omg, I'm retarded... Was supposed to be using Volume Down + Power! >.<

------------

Anyone know why Nandroid backups don't restore APKs that are stored on SD?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DreamingWolf:
Smelkus, THANK YOU so much for this recovery! I have been an AR fan since I got my evo and discovered it and you have taken what is great and improved it.

I don't know if it would be possible, or whom I should contact (or where to post this for that matter), but is there any chance of getting this ported to the B&N Nook Color (codename: encore)? TWRP is ok, but I LOVE this recovery.

And help or directions where to seek further would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lrandolph:
OMG, I'm so happy I found this. I was trying to update my hubby's EVO to MazWoz's ROM, which I've already done for my EVO with no problems. But noooo, hubby's was stuck at the white evo boot screen and would just continually reboot. Nothing I tried worked, I was getting ready to just fall on the floor and kick my feet when I found a post suggesting this recovery. It did the trick--no more reboot loop. Thank you SOOO much!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Zzz73:
i want to say first that i am not making any accusations. there is a good chance i am doing something incorrectly... here is my problem. i made a full nandroid backup of TT's classic before tyring out Prime OG. when trying to return all apps on the sd were borked. a day later when i was all set up again i decided to experiment, made a full nand +sd-ext, changed ROMs and experienced the same issue. user error? i have never seen this issue on my phone before w or w/o a2sd ROMs. advice?

Sent from my Tommy Tomatofied OG EVO 4G.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
You're welcome. Glad you like it. At this point, I'm just a one man show, so it's tough finding time to work on this in the first place. I do want to port it, but I'm trying to keep it somewhat familiar, so I've been looking into porting it to the EVO 4G LTE. Don't own the device though. That's the toughest part, I'd hate to "try" to port this and muck up someone's device.

That's awesome! Glad it helped.

It all depends... Define full nandroid backup (boot,data,system?). Define borked (app icons still, but when you tap them it says App is missing or when you boot there's nothing there at all). Are you wiping sd-ext? Using titanium backup or something similar? DTa2sd beta, stable? When you made the nand plus sd-ext, did you remember to restore sd-ext? Did all of those actions in recovery go well or were there any error messages? The recovery log would explain if recovery did its job or not. Did you try doing a2sd repair and it still was a problem?

Don't doubt the problem, but it's tough to say without some of those details. Let me know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
Its kinda his thing. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robobob1221:
Is there a way to delete old nandroids directly from the recovery? I guess like a sub menu when wiping sd card to go into sub directories and select individual folder/back ups? I know you can usb mount to get to the folders. I might not be near a computer, making a random back up, and find I've not got enough space. Something like that, and I don't wanna have to reboot back to delete the files then boot back into recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fitz420:
That would be a very useful addition. Especially with the new feature to figure out what rom is in a nandroid.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
I agree. I frequently want to delete a nandroid when I see it still sitting there while making a different restore. Good idea.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stinky634:
To install via Bootloader do I need a different HBOOT? I renamed to PC36IMG.zip, go into Bootloader and it scans but never finds it to allow me to 'update.' I tried renaming .zip, .zip.zip, etc, no luck.

Edit: Read up on it, was just easier to flash .img through Terminal than to go about changing HBOOT, if thats even what the problem was.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
You should be downloading a version that already contains PC36IMG. Example:

Download PC36IMG_ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-ics.zip

Rename file by deleting "_ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-ics"

You are left with a file named "PC36IMG.zip"

Place that on the root of your sd card, boot to bootloader and accept the update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stinky634:
This is exactly how I did it, however the scan in HBoot never finds anything. Probably user error in there somewhere, or I just need a newer HBoot, not sure. I read up on it, and just extracted the .img and flashed through Terminal, so all is good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
If renaming from windows you remove the ".zip" extension so that all you see in the name is "PC36IMG". the .zip is assumed because it is a zip. Otherwise the bootloader is reading it as PC36IMG.zip.zip.

[EVO 4G Android Development] PhxkinMassacre:
i saw something a couple weeks ago called aroma file manager. its like the aroma installer you see on the SOS rom but instead its a recovery file manager with touch inputs. you just flash it like a normal zip and it opens up right there in recovery. i have never used it but from what ive read it should do anything you need to do in regards to file management.

[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
Very interesting. That would be a whole lot easier than figuring it out myself. Maybe I could add that binary and include it in the menus? Plus, that guy doesn't have an android phone any longer. Maybe add a donate link on here for him. Thanks for sharing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
the touch screen never worked for me on the evo with an amonra based recovery using the aroma file manager. That was a few weeks ago.

Edit: just tried the 0512 version and it works great!

[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
The default touch didn't work for me, but it gives you an option of an alternate touch and that did work. It was a little cumbersome to pick the method, calibrate and fine calibrate. If I could figure out how to pick the alternate method and pre-calibrate, it might be cool. We'll see.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
Due to numerous requests from Rezound users to port the AOKP theme to their phone, I've added a donate link to my profile. (Ouch! Too soon?) But, a few people did ask... lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Legendary20:
I dont know if someone asked this or not cause I searched. Is anyone but me having the problem of the recovery reverting back to 4.0. Whats happening is I install the recovery in the bootloader and after a couple of reboots it went from 4.3 back to 4.0. This isnt the first time it happened. I think its the third or fourth time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
You're restoring a nandroid that includes a recovery.img of 4.0. Just don't backup or restore that.

Also, 4.0 had problems, please delete. 4.0.1 was the fixed version.

Nice suggestion. Agree about the calibrations being a pain. For some reason the right side and bottom of my screen are a little off set from where I touch. Works well though. Would be a nice addition if it could be added directly into the recovery :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
I was just browsing around the Thunderbolt forums because my brother lost his and is getting a new, used, and rooted one. Saw that drellisdee had ported RA to that phone too and toward the end of the thread Amon_RA popped in to say "Awesome :-)"

Found it odd his thanks meter is only at 293. You can argue about the merit of thanks meters, etc., but even if you never used his original version please take the time to thank him and if you have the means donate to him (Added to OP as well--- shame on me for not including sooner).

Also, shame on me for not PM'ing him sooner. I just sent him one last night about this modded version. I had been in contact with drellisdee all the way back in February when I was asking him to add autoreboot to when he helped me fix 4.0.1. You'll notice I'm not a recognized developer and I call this smelkusMOD. It's a mod because I'm only making a few changes here and there to the best of my limited abilities (I am building it from source however-- not just unpacking and repacking an image), but elite developers like Amon_RA deserve the most credit. Hopefully his recovery will make it on to this year's phones too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluezr1:
I use firerat so it takes me longer than most to set up a rom on my phone. And with jmz putting up a few experimental roms each day for the past few days while trying to test them for him, you can imagine flashing the stock recover each time to later nandroid back to be a daunting task. Although having your recovery on my phone with the superwipe option and the touchscreen capabilities, it's just a matter of a few simple task. What I'm trying to say is, thank you so much for working on this recovery smelkus. I'm able to flash back and forth with around 28 less clicks everytime.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stupidjerkheadface:
Seriously, this is BY FAR the best and most thought-out recovery I have ever come across!!! Thank you so much for this "mod." It is definitely built on greatness, and is easily one of the best contributions I've seen in the OG forums in a long time!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] BeInGarvey:
The ONLY Recovery

Ive been using AmonRA as my recovery since 2.3 and only strayed away once to see if Clockworkmod would suit my needs.....I was wrong. Not only is this recovery the most reliable, stable and just a AIO recovery, other devs have improved upon it and added advanced features. This latest version has 3 themes you can choose from before downloading your preferred format.

[EVO 4G Android Development] d0g:
Awesome recovery.

Question: does it support "OpenRecoveryScript"?
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
I had never heard of that, but just read about it. Looks like it was being ported to CWMR's because of a license issue, but Koush changed that to the AOSP Apache 2.0 license and accordingly it was abandoned from being added to CWMR.

It's not in Amon Ra.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
On a somewhat off-topic note, as I've been reading about porting to this year's devices, I noticed TWRP added pigz compression to utilize multi-core processors and speed up backups. Amon Ra uses gzip. The co-author of gzip and author of pigz is Mark Adler. I guess he found the time to write those outside of being the Mission Manager for the Mars Exploration Rover - Spirit, a pilot, a scuba diver, and father of two. Wow!

I never ceased to be amazed at the people involved with all the technology crammed into these "phones."

Just went into the ROM manager tab in ROM toolbox, and it asks which recovery I'm using...cwm, twrp, or flash one...is there something that is stopping my recovery from being detected?
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
I'm don't think RTB is detecting your recovery, it just offers CWM and TWRP as choices since they are the most common. I feel like it used to list Amon Ra 2.3 at one point, but I may be wrong. Don't really know the answer, but JRummy (RTB dev) would.

Tmobiles 4G is 3G....its HSDPA short for high speed data packet access. I don't believe T-Mobile sells data by "speeds", she either has data access or she doesn't. What I think is going on is she got her data plan downgraded to a lower tier and she had already gone over her allotment and is now throttled
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] n9900229:
Ok re edit my post. She was on the old plan with no 4g data because her old phone didn't support it, but now she got the phone with this 4g does it mean she has to upgrade her plan for the internet with 4g data???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TJBunch1228:
No, there is no 4G. Whatever data she has is all tmo offers. It's just that some phones are capable of running faster than others.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Depends, did she have a smartphone prior to T998? If not then the T-Mo sales rep should have upgraded her at the store, same thing online or over the phone. All smartphone data plans work the same, they offer a certain amount of data at "4G" speeds (200MB, 2G, 5G, or 10GB) but afterwards she will be throttled (meaning she will experience dial-up speeds). However if she did not have a smartphone before and her data plan has not been upgraded (which is unlikely) then she will have to upgrade her data plan.

No Android internet no internet period.
