HePersnlmgr, I opened up ROM Manager and it says I hve v3.0.0.2 but just below that under recovery it states curfrent recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1

At the bottom where you state the legacy CWMs are listed I select All ClockworkMod Recoveries (flash older versions of ClockworkMod) it says No legacy found. So it appears I'm still on the correct version to use. Do you concur?

Android version - 2.2

Baseband version - 2.15.00.11.19

You can either become a beta tester or wait for Myn to publicly release RLS5.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SgtSpike:
Please help me to understand. Is one of the issues because of the amend script support than Myn mentioned a couple of pages ago? Does Myn's ROM use amend script support and will he be forced to abandon that soon?

Another issue is the erase size I assume and what is the third?

thanks,

Which release of Rom Manager does this? I just checked my 2.5.0.1 version that I flashed from a pc36img.zip, and it only lists 3.004 - 3.000. Right now I'm using CWM 2.501, even though Rom Manager says I'm using Amon Ra. I'm not using RM. I'm going back to Amon Ra as soon as my nandroid backup is complete. Until this week, Rom Manager was all I used to use. At least we have Amon Ra.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Sorry for the delayed response. I'm out and about today and only checking in periodically. Anyway, now that I have a better understanding of your situation, it appears you need to downgrade your PRI to the 1.77 version. Just do a search of it within this thread to find it. After you flash it, you should have no problems loading up RLS4 and customizing it to your liking.

Very interesting that he is dropping amend support. Especially since 90% of the roms and mods out there use this as well as the XDA Android Kitchen.. The Kitchen BTW does not support Edify.

Wow I can't even get to recovery anymore. I went in to Rom manager because I already had 3.0.0.2 and couldn't go back anyways, so I wanted to check for an update that would fix all the bugs, found 3.0.0.4, updated my recovery, decided to try it out by make a backup, it attempts to go into recovery and just stays at fastboot. I attempt to get to recovery from there, reboot bootloader, recovery, and just goes back into fastboot :'(

[EVO 4G Android Development] edboston:
If Amon-Ra would just support the file browsing feature that CW has, I would probably drop using CW completely. I just hate having a cluttered root directory and hate it when I forget to move a file to be flashed before kicking into recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
"as Amon_Ra's works just fine with either"

as long as you are using the correct version of Amon RA v1.8.0, right ?

(i know that doesn't pertain to edify - but you see my point)

so mr. Myn ...

let's see ...

Radios - PRI

stock htc kernels - custom kernels

now recovery issues

one size fits all - seems like it would be kinda difficult ?

Hi folks,

I was thinking of trying out this ROM, today. I'm a bit of a newb, and thus have immediately become a little confused. What a shocker, huh? :p

Right now I'm running a stock Froyo ROM on my Evo. I'm rooted via Unrevoked, and have been using RomManager to do periodic back-ups. My recovery is and has been ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1, ever since I rooted at the beginning of Oct.

Question: What's my best way forward in terms of flashing RLS 4? Can I do it via RomManager, since I'm not using the newer, problematic version of Clockwork?

Or, do I need to switch my recovery over to RA before proceeding? And if I do that, will that mean that all the backups I made "under" Clockwork will become inaccessible to me? (I don't really want to flash my first custom ROM without a clear way back to one of my known-good backups.)

Thanks in advance. Hope my question made sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sypris:
Can anyone confirm if NOVA runs on RLS5? On RLS4 if I try to redownload it it says my phone cannot support it, and if I put a backup of it on my phone it force closes. And I love that game. :P

It might be because RLS4 uses the old OTA?
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
The root directory will only be as cluttered as you allow it to become. Certainly no more cluttered than whatever your download folder for CW looked like. When you are in Amon it only shows you zip files so anything else on root doesn't show up anyway. Using CW we go to the specific directory and then select the file - so one an extra step when compared to Amon. Using Amon, we have to cut/paste zip files from the download folder to the root, so one more step. Seems "even" as far as having one more step to perform when compared to the other. I've been using Amon long enough now that it is just automatic - when I download a zip, complete action using Astro, it places it in th download folder, I long press/edit/copy - up - paste. Done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] roscoenr:
yes put it on your sdcard and you can reboot into recovery wipe data/factory reset twice and wipr cache twice the choose your zip and flash it
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Do it from recovery. It's not difficult at all. Before flashing RLS4, make sure you have the correct radios and PRI version or you will run into problems. Do a Nandroid backup of your current setup. Then wipe data, cache, Dalvik & battery stats at least twice each and then flash the rom and reboot. Piece of cake!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
I advocate for Amon RA, but the only thing I hate is that you can't scroll down the list of zips once you fill up the screen. Meaning you'd have to start deleting zips to fit more. But at that point you'd have too many anyways. Plus, AR's menu structure makes more sense to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
+1, I agree here. As long as people realize that different people have different tendencies and likes/dislikes we don't have an issue right? There is no reason for this debate to degrade into 'my way is better, no my way is better.' (not saying yours was, I can just see where this is headed)

Now with the issues recently with each I wish we had a third option that was perfected and had all these features...:D That is a bit idyllic however.

This was the first rom that I stuck with, so I didn't know anything when I started. I've learned a ton through this thread.

Having said that I switched to amon ra at myn's suggestion and am glad I did. I understand why rom manager is more comfortable when your new, but there isn't much difference and amon is more stable according to myn. He's a programmer and knows a ton more than me.

So I would suggest using amon.

Okay, if I understand you correctly it sounds like I should not use RomManager, but I'm okay to stick with the 2.5.0.1 version of Clockwork I've got installed. Correct?

You lost me on the whole radio and PRI requirements for RLS4. Which versions are correct? Is that subject covered in the first post(s) of this thread? Let me go look and see what I have now....

[EVO 4G Android Development] neur0tk:
I am thinking about flashing this ROM looks pretty smooth!
[EVO 4G Android Development] roscoenr:
IMO i would not use rom manager as it no longer has the correct recovery in it and you risk pressing the thing and causing problems. do not upgrade you clockwork recovery what you have is good
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I hear ya. I tend to try to nohavs first because they, in my experience, tend to not make my EVO unstable and they gives me a feel for what the havs will be like.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaveNagy:
Sweet. Thanks for the responses.

It seems like my radio versions are a little bit... old? And that's a good thing for compatibility with RLS4, which is also slightly old at this point? Am I grasping this correctly?

Is there any "danger" of my radio version or PRI updating itself, and thus becoming incompatible with RLS4 down the road? Or, would I need to update those things explicitly? (I can't remember if those things update themselves automagically, but I thought that at least the PRIs... did.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Go for it. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Still, before flashing it, read through this thread and learn all you can in regard to which RLS version will work with your particular device (radio, PRI, etc), recovery differences and wiping habits to save you unnecessary problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] furrelkt:
+1 ... now that would be awesome!

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Trust me, RLS 4 is viewed as being old only because Myn will soon release RLS 5 which is based on the newest radios. When you boot up, it will look pretty much the same. Your radios & PRI shouldn't update itself so you should be good to go. The main thing is to wipe prior to flashing. Make it a habit to wipe, at least, the cache and dalvik before flashing ANYTHING. Doing so will save you a great deal of troubleshooting time. I cannot stress that enough.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TorxT3D:
ive been mentioning it, maybe we can get to the bottom of this little issue :D

the demo works, but buying/installing the full version doesnt work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
One final thing: make sure, while you're in recovery, to do a nandroid backup of your current setup before flashing RLS 4. If, by chance, something goes screwy and I highly doubt it will, you can always revert back to your current setup by restoring the nandroid backup. Also, when you get RLS 4 installed and setup how you want it, go back into recovery and do a nandroid backup of it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Anybody wanna test this out!! Haha, looks like file browsing is now supported! I am curious how nandroids work and if they all are still compatible as it seems a lot of stuff has been changed.

[EVO 4G Android Development] aburgthing:
A quick question that I probably should know but *sigh* just want to be sure. I was lucky enough to have read before taking the dive into upgrading ROM Manager. Honestly if I wasn't so obsessed with this ROM and the beta program I surely would have updated but this forum saved me. I haven't used it in ages now but it still resides on my system. I even had it set to automatically update which I caught before it did, whew! Can I delete it (ROM Manager) from the system so there is no mistake updating to the broken recoveries and wait until it is updated AND still have my working Clockwork recovery or will deleting it take the recovery with it? I'm pretty comfortable putting any recovery back on my SD card and flashing from there in HBoot, but if it ain't broke....well you know the rest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Gee, I'm so sorry you feel this way. I tried getting hold of him for 3 days without success and finally found his Blog, where that email address was posted.

And calling it Spam is hardly accurate. Not even close.

I got an incredibly nice, helpful, completely understanding email from him within minutes, and there is now a running dialog about this on a few threads. In addition, at my request (which he thought was a good idea) he added being able to use 2.5.0.1 back into ROM Manager.

Again, sorry if it bothered you, but I learned long ago sometimes the only way to get something accomplished is to try ALL methods including going directly to the source at all costs. (And be careful what you say as my Dad was the one who taught me this...).

I'm okay with you, or a few people, being bothered if hundreds of others, including me, got some relief from it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] roscoenr:
yes you can delete rom manager with out problems. also rom manager can update though the market and it will not hurt anything. rom manager will not automatically update your recovery ether. so unless you opne up rom manager and press update you should be safe
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaveNagy:
Oh, believe me. I'm all about the backups. :)

So, this all sounds pretty easy. I think the sequence for me should be something like this, yes?

Get into Clockwork recovery the old fashioned way, and do a Nandroid backup. (I just did one via RomManager, but it sounds like I need to get used to doing things in the recovery menu again.)

Download RLS4 and place the .zip file into the root of my SD card.

In the recovery menu, do a sequence of wipes and reboots. It sounds like the more, the merrier!

Still in recovery, find that RLS4 .zip file, and flash it.

Assuming I have a successful flash, do yet another Nandroid backup.

Profit!

Am I missing anything major in there?

So when I see a flashable zip floating around that I want to install, I need to know which version it was created in (edify or amend)?

CWM 2.5.0.1 = only can flash Amend scripts (flashable zips)

CWM 3.0.0.x = only can flash Edify scripts (flashable zips)

Is that what I am reading?

2.5.0.1 can flash both. (it is an eclair based recovery)

3.0.0.x can only flash edify. (It is a gingerbread recovery)

Myn said one of the big things holding it back was the Gingerbread menus. He said everytime he fixes something related to them, it breaks something else. I told you guys that they should be optional!
