I did that exactly but now i have a problem. Ill try to describe it best i can.

I flashed the amonra1.7.0.1-R5 slcd version(im using a SLCD desire) using Unrevoked 3.2.1. There was a very long delay of perhaps 10 minutes before Unrevoked declared success, during which time the ROM was already up and running for a few minutes.

I went to ROM manager and selected "reboot into recovery" cos i wanted to see if amonra was really up and running. But instead it rebooted into clockworkmod recovery.

I thought perhaps it might be because ROM manager was somehow forcing me to boot into clockwork. So i turned off the phone, went to the bootloader screen(by pressing the vol down and power buttons), and selected "recovery". Then my phone just got stuck for ages in the boot screen that shows a green "HTC" on a fully white background. I had to pull the battery to get it to boot up. Boot went smoothly and the ROM was absolutely fine thereafter.

Anyone has a clue why i can't seem to get amonra working on my phone? I'm really keen on switching from clockwork to amonra for its partitioning capabilities and also because I read somewhere that it does a more thorough wipe between roms. I'd be grateful for any help.

Yeah and btw my ROM is MIUI 10.29, if that makes any difference.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm facing same prob. With 'R5' version...so that's y I switch to 'R5.1' version but its wiping my SD card when I restore nandroid backup... one more thing rom manager using clockwork mod recovery (boot into recovery mod from Rom manager menu) from SD card update.zip file... so In my way
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
U can use both recovery at a time... when u want clockwork mod...just use Rom manager... or when u want amonRA use boot menu....

Could some kind soul pleeease post a working link for the SLCD version of AmonRA 1.7.0.1 R5??

All the links in this thread seem to be dead and even the file posted a couple of pages back is defective. Ive searched xda thoroughly as i can and i can't, for the life of me, find a working link to a working file for the SLCD desire version of AmonRA 1.7.0.1 R5.

Is this right?

[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
LOL... ya pretty stupid idea but atleast its working....hehehe

What...R6...? Give me sereenshot....
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
That's right...

5.1 is the same as R6

Just be sure not to nandroid restore with R6, or your FAT32 partition will be wiped. Use ROM Manager/clockworkmod for nandroiding in this scenario.
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
Yieks. You say nandroid restore is buggy in 5.1? Then I sure want 5.0... Loosing my sdcard is horror

some amon ra questions for beginners:

the following images do not work for me:

recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5.img

recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5-altkeys.img

if i choose recovery, i see splash1 image for some minutes, then the device reboots.

i understand this means, i got slcd? i was always sure, i got amoled, since i have a really black screen. can someone confirm this please?

the image

recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5.1.img

does work, but someone mentioned, if you restore a nandroid backup with this image, you format/trash your sdcard. can someone confirm this, too?

i started to like amon-ra, but am back to clockworkmod for now, since i am unsure :(
[Desire Android Development] reddev0:
The SLCD version of R5 works fine for me, just flashed it again to check:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8924434&postcount=707

I don't understand why it's not working for some people...
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Afaik with slcd the screen remains black and the device is unuseable. Also, if your desire works with stock clockwork from unrevoked or something, then I am also sure it is amoled.

Definitely can confirm. I was one of the people that tested R5.1 when it was first up on the google code site. I liked the additions to it, however, it DOES format the sd card for some bizarre reason. I'd stear clear of it for now

Does http://code.google.com/p/amonra-mod...e=recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5.img&can=2&q= definitely not work for you? (this is the non-slcd version)
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
just tried that one, also not working here. splash1 displays forever. afaik, thats usually a kernel issue.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Using unrevoked? Or fastboot?
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
U mean to say stock clockwork from unrevoked not working with slcd desire...?
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Maybe they've updated it, but it wasn't working and a recompiled recovery image needed to be used.

as mention on there

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696189

IMPORTANT - this tutorial will not work if you have installed 2.2 OTA update from HTC!

but unrevoked worked for me..
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
1st try using fastboot fail to load recovery

2nd try using unrevoked worked...i don't know why...

@mad-murdock use both method unrevoked n fastboot then tell me...

i'm sure this time u got it...
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
yeah thats what i was wondering which method was used to flash this
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
I found the source for the problem.

If you flash AmonRA via Fastboot, you have to do Fastboot->Flash->Reboot Bootloader->Recovery. i skipped the reboot bootloader part - since it is not needed when flashing clockworkmod. Damn me!

Turns out, i have a SLCD, which really surprises me. Always thought, SLCD's are not that black on displaying black. But kernels cant lie, can they? :D

Back on topic, is AmonRA still under development and so a 5.2 to expect? I also miss some features i saw in 5.1 now with 5.0
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Yeah i miss 5.1 features...like the smooth scrolling like effect etc.

I think the project has been dropped by the OP though :(
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
hmm, his work is open-source. i just checked out the sources, which seam complete... maybe tomorrow i look into them.

all that has to be done is fixing this sdcard-screwup bug. since its all written in plain c, i think its possible, i fix this. but wont promise too much

edit: who is responsible for amonRA? the guy from post #1 seams not to be the developer. before i rape alien source files, i would like to ask him, or at least see he didnt visit this forum for a long time.
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Hey i was wondering...why at times is this recovery unable to see flashable files on my sd that clockworkmod will instead succesfully find and flash? It annoys me quite a lot :(
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
AmonRA is the original developer of the recovery and the guy in the first post ported it to desire afaik.
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
wrote to worstenbrood, asked if he has further plans on this project.

wrote to amon_ra, asked if he might consider adding desire as a target device for his releases

lets wait and see - if all fails i try to port the latest amon_ra release myself
[Desire Android Development] fwers:
i think armon_ra has already spoken on this matter in this thread somewhere that he will not be directly contributing to desire

found it:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8401800&postcount=606
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
He just said, he didn't wanna receive pms about this version. He didn't say, he won't port his recovery to desire, which would be the best possible solution.

Especially after this project doesn't get further development.

His recovery supports a LOT of devices, perhaps desire is missing because of this unofficial port

Swyped with my S-OFF'd brain using teh internetz
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I agree I think amon ra stayed away from desire as it was stuck as s-on. This means if you flash a bad recovery during testing you can be in big trouble. Now we have s-off you can flash recovery through fastboot which means easy testing!

Id be happy to be a ginuea pig.

[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Installed r5 SLCD version via 1 Android Flasher, it loaded fine.

Then when i selected the reboot option from holding power button whilst booted up, it just hung at splash. Pulled battery, tried vol down and power, went into AR fine. Ran a nandroid + ext backup fine, rebooted, selected reboot from power button again and went into AR fine. So all working for me HOWEVER:

When I select flash and it gives me my list of folders I see none of the zip files at root level on the sdcard, can see the ones within folders though. Can't scroll down past the last folder, what's that all about? So far it means I have to reboot into recovery via ROM Manager to get CM up and select my required zip files and when need Amon Ra (to use the backup and partition functions) reboot into recovery. So by putting on AR I've created a 2-step process for what was a 1-step process...oookaaay :confused:
[Desire Android Development] nikosrs4:
that's the only bug it has, you CAN'T scroll through a list of folders and files. so because folders are sorted first, you have to place zip files in one folder that is shown there.
[Desire Android Development] Beaverman20:
i see 2 problems with this,

1 = the scroll...

2 = the fact that i HAVE to use the optical track-pad to navigate it, it's extremely unresponsive...
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Cool, thanks for the tip.
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
1. Answered with my query, not so much of an issue now.

2. I find the tp over-responsive! Would prefer the option of either as in CM.

I see from earlier posts that this isn't an official port for the Desire but that one is due...so that may address these issues. Tbh, I don't understand why CM doesn't just put in the partition sd option, if he did that and AR has these issues sorted we will have 2 real alternatives to choose from according to preference rather than necessity for certain options.
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Well AR is giving me quite a lot of issues to at the moment...to list some of those:

-Some of the flashable files are at times RANDOMLY not seen by this recovery, while if i boot into Clockworkmod recovery I DO SEE THEM. Also, reflashing AR via hboot does the trick, but the issue comes back after a while at times.

-It can eventually take a bit too much to boot into recovery from time to time (3-4 times slower than CM), because for a while it's only displayed the version and not the recovery.

-At times when i choose reboot into recovery from the power menu i just get stuck at the splash screen. To get into recovery i have to press power+oj+vol down then power+vol down to boot into bootloader, and from there i have to choose recovery, and THEN it works (quite a long trip huh?).

-At times i do a nandroid backup, and when i try to restore it (yeah, at times i get into a boot loop playing with frameworks and stuff, so i NEED this) the process doesn't start and the recovery asks me to run the backup with an adb command (cool especially if that happens to you while you are on the move, so you have to stay the whole working day with a useless brick in your pocket).

I'm quite sure i had quite a few more annoying things to list but i can't recall them now...anyway, i tried to reflash this recovery multiple times by multiple means, and the bs comes back...so may i ask: wtf is this all about? I don't trust this recovery anymore, i'll go back to Clockwork, that didn't give me a single issue, EVER. I hope that some update fixes this annoyances, because i like the way this recovery is made, fast and easy to use, with a lot of functions and so on, but it really feels risky for me to use it as it is now...being a flash freak i want something to rely on, and this is not what i'm getting here.

Sorry for the rant, but i felt like i HAD to.

Peace.
[Desire Android Development] nikosrs4:
I never had that issues. The only issue that wasn't AR's fault, is the one that told you to use adb command and that occured because I didn't have enough battery. I charged and all went fine.

I guess it's also a matter of luck.
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Yeah maybe...but then this shows i don't have any ;)

Anyway i'll give this recovery another shot when it's updated, maybe this build doesn't simply like my Desire at all :D
[Desire Android Development] BumAround:
Is yours AMOLED or SLCD?

Positive, that AmonRa is very very stable. Use the R5, though.
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Amoled here...will that matter in any way?
[Desire Android Development] BumAround:
I don't know, just trying to establish a pattern (of error), I guess.

Download reflash package instead of reflash package 3.2.1 for the unrevoked util, R5 instead or R6.

How's Oxygen 0.1.3 going battery wise?
[Desire Android Development] ph0rce:
Thanks for the links, however I have two questions:

I downloaded the first file above but when I run it, it says that it is going to install ClockworkMod instead of AmonRa. Is this a typo or is the above link incorrect?

Secondly; I'm not on my usual Windows PC, do you have a quick link to the boot drivers as they aren't installed on this one?

Thanks again.
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
Expect an update soon ;)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
If you could make it work with volume and power i will love you forever. I will do things to a man that i have never dreamed of :D

I have tried to get Koush to do it for clockwork but he doesn't respond i think he's too busy. Ahmgsk said he would do it but is having computer trouble so is never able to.

I'd much rather have this version though as it has partitioning support :D I'm sick of using adb. :)
[Desire Android Development] marcdau:
And hopefully I confirm Rom Manager is working perfectly after installing AmonRa. I was afraid it did'nt know how to fakeflash with AmonRa. So Rom Manager still uses Clockworkmod after flashing AmonRa
[Desire Android Development] lupin85:
so now it's a permanent recovery?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Yes now it is permanent, you can choose what recovery you want to be permanent (clockwork, amon ra) and you can still use ROM Manager as normal so it's like 2 custom recoveries.
[Desire Android Development] lupin85:
how to go in recovery mode in amon ra?

You power on your phone holding volume down. Then using volume keys scroll to Recovery and select using power button.

This is how a recovery should be.

Only thing is that it can't flash some non-signed zip, and it can't flash zip inside folders.

But otherwise, this is very very good. I missed it since my Hero.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Yeah, non signed zips is no big deal as they are easily signed but i do keep my .zips in a million different folders lol.

Just can't wait for this to support power button confirm and volume navigation. I'll be set forever i will not need to update to a newer recovery or anything :D

As to Oxy, the first beta was great battery wise...the last has the vorkKernel so it's a lot smoother but battery life is not as awesome; anyway i still think it's pretty good, using the phone with ondemand governor, clocked @998 mhz and with no sleep profile i can have a day out (i'm toying around with the phone all the time, hours of data connection, flashing and the like): i found this to be the best combo so far, i'd recommend it ;)

flash failed

Well,

I had clockworkmod, I tried to flash amonra to my desire, it failed and now i'm stuck with no recovery image. The phone still works though...

Any idea's
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
If you are using unrevoked to flash it, at the point when it tried to flash & hang & said it's ok to reboot, reboot it with power+vol down+trackpad... it will resume
[Desire Android Development] wasabah:
I have the same problem. But unfortunately, restarting the phone simply boots the phone normally while Unrevoked waits for the bootloader. So I restart the phone into bootloader and then Unrevoked says Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again. :(

Edit: worked after some tries and I used the SLCD version - now everything works! :)

[Desire Android Development] 7pellc:
@ DarthOPS

I had the same problem mate, I got an unlock code and couldn't use it. It says it works then nothing happens.

I take it you tried unlocking it after flashing the new radio.

Was you using a custom ROM?

It's a bit of a pain in the arse, but flash an official RUU, it'll ask you for the unlock code upon reboot again. It works. It actually registers the sim on the official rom. Then re-root, and apply a custom recovery, and bam. You have an unlocked phone that works with the new radio.
[Desire Android Development] DashingGentleman:
You've been posting this in every thread concerning custom recovery and you seem to be the only one with such an issue. Could you not just use ROM manager? It allows you to select files to flash within android and then automatically reboots and applies them from clockworkmod recovery. You can then use the touchscreen, flash any .zip (including unsigned ones and radio images), wiping data works and nandroid is fine. The only thing you can't do from ROM manager is partitioning the SD card and you can do that with a computer. So your problem boils down to a minor inconvenience when formatting the SD card?

I mean, I appreciate your issue and how annoying it is, but you can't expect devs to cater to everyone with a random hardware problem - it's like having a broken keyboard and asking your computer manufacturer to provide mouse support in the BIOS. The solution is to get your phone fixed, not pester devs to worsen their UI for your sake.
[Desire Android Development] thematrix2:
