[Desire Android Development] sultanbrunei:
does that means NAND backup could not be used for the purpose of restoring apps and data after upgrading to a new rom ?
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
exactly, nand is just an "image" of your rom as it is at that time, including apps and data.
[Desire Android Development] sultanbrunei:
oh, thank you for the beloved reply.

I just realized I made an unneccessary backup yesterday by doing nand backup, since what I am looking is only apps and data, not image.

Where does it backup to ? How do I delete this NAND +ext backup that I just created yesterday ?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Correct.

You should use something like Titanium Backup for that. Also, I've had so many problems with Nandroid lately (backups not working, restoring only bringing back half my apps, broken images) that I still use Titanium Backup with a nightly backup schedule, even for previous ROMs in case Nandroid effs up...
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
amonra puts nandroids in a folder on root of sd card called "nandroid" :P
[Desire Android Development] sultanbrunei:
thank you so much !! you guys been so helpful !! :):):)

mine is SLCD wth 083 hboot

[youtube]gUF4dLVdFKc[/youtube]​
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
yes I know the differences thanks, but your missing the point here. As far as I know HBOOT 0.83 only works (and comes pre-installed) on SLCD devices.
[Desire Android Development] Tsuushin:
Will there be support for SLCD screens in the future? I would like to use this recovery.
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
well my phone is brand new (only 2 weeks old) doesn't say amoled on teh box (which amoled phones do) and has the "glow" like in that video.

I would say that suggests I have an SLCD, in which case, how am I able to use this Amon-ra port.

btw amon ra told me on twitter he is investigating what is required to make an slcd compatible recovery.
[Desire Android Development] monyozt:
wow seems we have good news :D
[Desire Android Development] artshadow:
I flashed the latest AmonRA recovery but when I go to flash zip from sdcard it's showing me the folders from the sdcard and I can't go to the next page to get to the zip files from the root of the card. is there a way to advance to the next page, or I should delete some folders from the card so that everything will fit to the first page?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Just make a folder called 000flashablefiles or something like that, so that it always shows up at the top, and put your zips in there :)
[Desire Android Development] artshadow:
thank you, it worked like that, so it's no more required to have the zip files in the root of the sdcard
[Desire Android Development] monyozt:
confirm reflash with unrevolked i got blank screen
[Desire Android Development] mdmar:
Hi guys!

I tried to flash this via Unrevoked which didnt work. Then I tried to flash via Terminal, but when I boot to recovery I only came back to my old Clockworkmod...

I have a rooted Desire running Pinkys Froyo 1.8 ROM

Any ideas on where I can make something happen?
[Desire Android Development] sfjuocekr:
You must have the HTC Sync driver installed, else the phone will not get detected in unrevoked3.

Also you need to install the HBOOT USB driver.

I performed these steps to get it to work:

1. Boot phone into bootloader (HBOOT).

2. Install HBOOT USB driver.

3. Reboot phone to normal.

4. Install HTC Sync on PC.

5. Turn USB debugging on on phone.

6. Start Unrevoked3.

7. Select AmonRA recovery image for custom recovery.

8. Plug in phone.

9. Pray...

10. Done!
[Desire Android Development] Amon_RA:
Quickly replaced the kernel with Koush's SLCD kernel : recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5-SLCD.img

(ext-4 is not included in this one)

Amon_RA: You are amazing, this works like a charm!!! Thank you so much for making Andoid so much better ;)

Kindly regards from Thomas

Nandroid restore in R5 gives an error, telling me to run nandroid-mobile.sh with adb.

Problem is adb gets to the shell, terminates and drops me back. Can't open a new adb shell afterwards.
[Desire Android Development] fwers:
armon_ra: thanxs for the SLCD update.. works like a charm :D
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Let me guess... trying to restore a Nandroid backup from Clockwork? I had the same error. Backups made in AmonRA restore fine.
[Desire Android Development] hagen.von.tronje:
permanent?

is this recovery a permanent one, or do I have to start is through:

'android system recovery 2e desire' as update.zip?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
It's permanent if you flash it properly (unrevoked3, for instance).
[Desire Android Development] hagen.von.tronje:
will it replace the 'android system recovery 2e desire'?

If yes:

Is there a possibility to return to it?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
It will replace your current recovery.

Returning to the original recovery is possible

IF

you can find a stock RUU for your device. You could look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667
[Desire Android Development] hagen.von.tronje:
I downloaded the img-file and started unrevoked... somehow it automatically installed clockworkmod as permanent recovery.. i cant choose the img file to be flashed.

it always returns to clockwork mod...
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
You need to select the custom recovery BEFORE you plug in your Desire. :)

Only worked on Windows for me, btw.
[Desire Android Development] morcus:
And to be sure that HTC sync have been installed, then uninstalled =) (because of the drivers for your computer)
[Desire Android Development] hagen.von.tronje:
OK thnx it now worked for me.. like you said... now I selected the custom rom before plugging in.

By the way... Ubuntu(linux) version works great... no need for installing drivers etc.. only thing you have to do is use the sudo command (sudo ./reflash)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Yah, but how do you select the custom recovery?
[Desire Android Development] hagen.von.tronje:
If you use sudo you will be in the root folder... so you have to browse to the home/username/...
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
What do you browse with though? When I connect my Desire and type sudo ./reflash, everything happens right away - I have no chance to browse anywhere ;)
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0x64:
run sudo ./reflash *before* plugging in your phone

the unrevoked window will open and you can choose a custom recovery img file
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
LOL, ok, should have figured that out, since it's the same thing as on Windows. I thought sudo ./reflash started the actual flashing process... that's why I switched to Windows to flash AmonRA :p
[Desire Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Nope was a backup made with AmonRA, it restored fine with ClockWorkMod tho.

Maybe I need to reflash it? What happens if you try to open an adb shell with AmonRA up? Mine just crashes and drops back to console.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Really does sound like your AmonRA didn't flash properly. ADB works fine on AmonRA R5 here...
[Desire Android Development] sfjuocekr:
I think adb crashes when there is no bin dir in the /system folder, atleast that is the only difference and it works :s
[Desire Android Development] mariosraptor:
hi guys. can i make a question that mind sound silly? ohh well i'll make it anyway. can i flash Amon's recovery though rom manager? i have OD 4 on right now. if can.t flash it trough rom manager then can somebody tell me what is needed to be done? thanks.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Nope, you'll need to flash using Unrevoked.
[Desire Android Development] mariosraptor:
ok. thanks alot for the quick reply.
[Desire Android Development] Twau:
Would love an update with CyanogenMOD version like Nexus one has.

Great work.

hey is there anyway to use this just as an update.zip rather than flashing with unrevoked?

i like to just use the update.zip method on the sd card...
[Desire Android Development] yjlee168:
Hi I rooted my Desire before NOT with unRevoked (but with gold card or something like that) since unRevoked has not been available at that moment. I run OpenDesire v4.0.1 and have complete rooted access. Last night I tried to flash AmonRA v1.7.0.1 Recovery R5 image with Unrevoked. Everyhting was going fine. Then reboot normal back to OpenDesire. Supprise? I found that I have lost the rooted access... I tried several time to unrevoked my Desire without any image later to try to get rooted access back. But I failed. my HBOOT is 0.80. I used the gold card to restore the rooted access now. But I really like this fantastic Recovery. How should I flash this Recovery img without changing my rooted access profile? Thanks in advance for your advices. [Edit: do I have to flash a rooted rom immidiately after flash with unrevoked? the procedure said it's optional to do so.]
[Desire Android Development] RavinShubh:
I came across problems flashing this on windows vista 64 bit. After some searching, i came across this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7449486#post7449486 Just follow the instructions and you should be able to flash AmonRa recovery. Just use firefox in linux to download amonra recovery. Use unrevoked to link to it and plug in your phone. Hope this helps you folks.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
No problem on Win7-64bit, which is basically the same thing ;)

I suppose you just need the proper drivers, which is a bit of a ***** because you need like 3 different ones :p
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Oh nice, totally missed it. Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] dt33:
Is it possible to use ROM Manager to install Clockwork recovery so it replace amonRA recovery and when want go back, use unrvoked3 to flash amonRA to replace clockwork recovery?

Want to test out which suits me best and right now I got amonRA installed.
[Desire Android Development] greatdain:
AmonRA - stuck on boot - black screen

I have previously rooted with Clockwork and Unrevoked (very fast and easy) - Yesterday I tried to flash AmonRa using unrevoked and linux (same method as clockwork), it went through the process said 'done' - but was stuck on the HTC screen. I repeated the flash again in Linux, then tried it with Windows 7 64bit (all the correct drivers are installed) and the result was the same. No recovery was flashed and had to pull battery to reboot. When I try to reach recovery from bootloader I just get a black screen with white edge as reported in previous posts.

Reflashed clockwork with no problem except that it had lost root access when rom was loaded. Did a full wipe and reflashed rom - all is fine now.

My question is: Why is this happening and how do I fix it? I have a new desire previously branded to 3 UK. It seems there is something about the Amon recovery that my phone does not like.

Thanks

FIXED: I seem to have a SLCD screen not what I though I was getting - an AMOLED - so flashed Amon Recovery for SLCD and all is perfect - thanks
[Desire Android Development] laurence0609:
Hi guys! Just a quick question from a noob. Do i need to change the file extenzion name to .zip in order for me to flash this? TIA
[Desire Android Development] matt95:
you need unrevooked3...you have to flash the image with unrevooked
[Desire Android Development] laurence0609:
I have that but how to flash or install it? Can you please provide me a simple step on how to do it? Am really new to this. Thanks
[Desire Android Development] :
Can I use this one : recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5-SLCD

for an AMOLED

and

for a SLCD Desire?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] kai84m:
I have a suggestion for following versions:

Wouldnt it make sense, to add I option to wipe everything (Data, Cache, Ext, Battery Stats...) with one "click". That would made it much easier to clean install a new ROM!
[Desire Android Development] :
That button would be very nice!
[Desire Android Development] morcus:
+1, it's a great idea
[Desire Android Development] padlets:
I want to install new rom, i enter the recovery and i do wipe data/factory and i install the new rom,

but after the boot i see that all my apps that i dowload/install are there, why thay still there?
[Desire Android Development] harvestdroid:
+1 on that, i also don't know why...still trying to figure it out, but nothing comes into my mind... :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Dafferen:
Does this work with HBOOT 0.83?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Google's backup. Settings>Privacy
[Desire Android Development] shoey-n:
Any chance of updating to the latest 1.8.0.1 amonra ?
[Desire Android Development] harvestdroid:
found nothing named privacy setting on my rom :confused:
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Might be named differently in Sense ROMs. The setting's in there, definitely ;)
[Desire Android Development] BumAround:
Thanks!

Successfully put Ra 1.7.0.1-R5 using unrevoked3's reflash tool.

But once it the recovery console, I cannot use the power button or any button to select anything ???
[Desire Android Development] BumAround:
btw, I put the 1.7.0.1-R5 image on top of the clockwork...it didn't give any error message though, and the recovery console shows.
[Desire Android Development] Dancube:
Just read that Amon_RA has PSgroove working from Recovery, would love to see this included as a feature in the new version! With the BDMV support as well please. :D
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
You select with the optical trackpad and the trackpad button in AmonRA and Clockwork :)
[Desire Android Development] BumAround:
Maybe I have to rephrase my question.

I mean in the AmonRa 1.7.0.1-R5 I can use the optical joystick to navigate the menu items, but what's the "button" to click/choose on the particular item? I press hardware menu button to toggle between displaying/hiding menu, but other than that, no hardware buttons seem to work (vol up, vol down, power button).....:confused::confused:

So the question remains: how to choose an item that has been selected with the optical trackpad? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
The optical trackpad itself is the button. Press it hard! :D
[Desire Android Development] BumAround:
Embarrassment :o
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Don't wory, you're not the first ;) :D
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Hi Guys had my Desire for about two weeks now and loving, I managed to root it last night using unrevoked, with my other hand sets I use to use Amonra recovery to flash my files and set up partions, my question is what is fake flash? I prefer to use Amonra is seems to be more straight forward and easyer to use.

Edit> Also how do you drop to recovery from power off? if im not mistaken with the G1 it was hold end call+menu then power with my pulse its the same buttons and it take's you directly to recovery, it seems that I have to go to the fastboot screen and select recovery from there is this normal.
[Desire Android Development] twics:
That sucks I want to be able to setup ext partions A2SD, that means we will have to wait for this to be permanant.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Fake flash is when you start a recovery by "flashing" its zip file from within another (permanent) recovery. If you rooted with Unrevoked, you now have CLockworkMOd Recovery installed... you can also install AmonRA with Unrevoked (select the custom image).

Hold the back button while turning on. Then go to bootloader, and then to recovery.

You can with AmonRA, or with ROM Manager and ClockworkMod (which does automatic fake-flash with Clockwork)...
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Thanks alot im not new to flashing roms and setting ext+ but new to the Desire:)
[Desire Android Development] BumAround:
If AmonRA installed with Unrevoked, which I did with no prob, does clockworkMod has been taken over by AmonRA? Looks like it..... :)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
It installs over ClockWorkMod, replacing it as the permanent recovery, yes.
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Tried this but I didnt see any option for recovery just bootloader so I did it by Press holding Vol- and press power button which took me to fastboot screen, using the Vol-Vol+ is able to navigate to the recovery option and select recovery with power button.

Anyway managed to update my recovery to Amonra using unrevoked all good now:D and it does seem to be permenent too.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
That's why I said "go to bootloader, then recovery"... pressing bootloader opens another menu ;)
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Yea sorry bemymonkey:) I see what you mean now, cause I didnt see it in the bootloader screen I thought I couldnt get to it that way, didnt realize clicking on bootloader would get me there too:o however it seems theres more than one way to get to it.

Thanks for your help too.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Heheh no problem. Main thing is you've got AmonRA on there now :D
[Desire Android Development] diego4t:
any news on this getting upgraded for SLCD screens?

I'm about to unroot my Desire and sell it. Will the stock recovery be restored if I unroot, or do I have to recover it somehow?
[Desire Android Development] peterme58:
i want to root my desire with unrevoked 3.2 ( i am with stock froyo 2.2) if i flash amonra recovery instead of clockwardmod with the custom image process should the phone be rooted after or i must first root with unrevoked and after flash amonra recovery, and then my phone will be still rooted?

Any plans on a release date for R6? I'd like to switch to AmonRa but I have a bunch of nandroid backups made with clockworkmod and I want to be able to restore them. Also, will I be able to use ROM Manager to create and restore backups with Amon Ra Recovery?

Thanks a lot!

As far as I know there is no stock recovery.
[Desire Android Development] Lefy:
is there any chance, we can port the amon ra recovery with psfreedom support from nexus one ?

http://bit.ly/cWTkK2
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Isn't that a PS3 jailbreak of some kind? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Lefy:
yes, it is a ps3jailbreak.

you can jailbreak your ps3 for homebrew from recovery.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
And why would you want to add cruft like that to the Recovery? Hey, why not add software to control my kitchen stove?
[Desire Android Development] Lefy:
to use the jailbreak , we must flash kernel moduls (enable & disable modul) in recovery menu. after your jailbreak is finished, you flash the disable modul to use usb & adb function from your device.

is there an option in recovery we can easy turn on & off the jailbreak without flashing & booting our device.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
I understand... but there's an important part you're forgetting:

It's an Android phone, not a PS3 Jailbreak tool. I for one don't want another possible source of bugs for the recovery... :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] Lefy:
if its possible anyone can make 2 versions with psfreedon option and without.

because you aren't use this option, but others...
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
You and the other three PS3 jailbreakers in the forum? :p

I really don't get it... why does this need to be integrated into the recovery? If 90% of all Android users owned a PS3 (and the PS3 was vital for a fully functioning Android phone) and you needed to jailbreak it once a week... then yah, I could see integrating it into the recovery. :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] Lefy:
look at the psfreedom thread and you will see there are more users....
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
I'm sure there are. Still don't see any reason to add it to AmonRA though. Has it really been added to the Nexus version? Permanently? :eek:
[Desire Android Development] Lefy:
look at amon_ra's twitter and you will see....
[Desire Android Development] jedininja666:
Seems like the creator of this modified AmonRa can no longer be bothered to update, it's been absolutely months!!!! Shame as I too would love psfreedom!
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
Of course there is :) To flash stock recovery you can use unrevoked tool. Extrack recovery.img from f.g. OTA_Bravo_HTC_EU_2.10.405.2-2.09.405.8.zip and flash it.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
+1

Don't see why it needs to be added to a recovery?

Just flash it each time you want it?
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
So there will be no new version? Author is no longer supporting this recovery?
[Desire Android Development] SquallLTT:
Please anyone help me. I flash this recovery image and now I can't reboot to recovery mode. My previous recovery is ClockworkMod and it worked well.

After flash this, I can't go to recovery mode. But the phone itself boot normally. How to go back to Clockworkmod recovery?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I think it's safe to say this project is permanently on hold/abandoned until further notice.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Hmm it appears worst has been online today and there is a version R5.1 uploaded today on his Googlecode page.

(New kernel,merged key configs)
[Desire Android Development] dread123:
yeah just seen that..anyone test this already..gonna have try and see what changed :p
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Couldn't really find much difference, except that Nand + ext has now been re-labelled nand + ext/asec
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
Where can we download it?

Ok, I got it.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Another extra:

You can use vol up/down to navigate and power to select

Don't accidentally press the power button when you load recovery :D
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
Updating from R5 to R5.1 is only with unrevoked or there is some other way?
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Has any1 updated alrdy?! i think its doable only with unrevoked...
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
Hi, does anyone know how long it takes to partition and format a 32 GB microSD using AmonRa? Created a 30GB fat32 part, and a 1.1 G Ext2 part. It's been going for a couple of hours now. My screen is full of ....................'s but it doesn't look like it's stalled because it's still creating more .......'s?
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Definitely not a couple of hours! My 16gb card was very quick to partition
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
I did it with unrevoked. There aren't many changes.
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
I was kinda thinking that it wasn't right. :-)
[Desire Android Development] mike1986.:
Using urevokoed on once rooted phone will re-root it or just put the new custom recovery?
[Desire Android Development] Dancube:
Because some people prefer Sense roms. You cannot flash PSFreedom onto a Sense rom. I would love to be able to have this option in Amon_RA's recovery.
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
Just out of interest, how long is "very quick"? And do you remember if you had lots of progress dots?
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Mmm few minutes. i'll redo it now for you :) And i'll partition it to 1024mb just to see
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Tbh, i dont see any reason to update the recovery to 5.1, it just combines the abillity to use alt keys, you could just flash the alt keys version...
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Using unrevoked on a non-rooted phone will add root and flash a recovery (normally clockwork). Using this will root + give AmonRa recovery.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Or do the same process to flassh R5.1?
