[Desire Android Development] Amon_RA:
It's a 2.6.32 kernel which by default doesn't support SLCD, unless they manually patched it ofc... This is the git for the kernel : http://git.couttstech.com/?p=couttstech-bravo.git;a=summary , I'll have a look if they patched SLCD or not.

PS : Be carefull replacing kernels in recoveries.

I compile the kernels from source with features required for recoveries, so try to at least use the same config otherwise you can run into issues.

Why are you using reiserfs?

EDIT : this kernel doesn't support SLCD... so no go ;)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
mmmhhh...very interesting ...

but melethron use the same clockwork recovery and i think he have a slcd desire...??!?

reiserfs...because it was stable and faster than ext3 at this time with data2whatever roms

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Amon_RA:
The new screens are actually Super TFT LCD's from Sony.

The following needs to be in the kernel to support these screens : http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/msm.git;a=commit;h=7679f62f1d129b86a0a7247b60954a35f26afbe3

I can't find it back in the master branch of the kernel source of http://git.couttstech.com/?p=couttstech-bravo.git;a=summary ...
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
not sure about this will ask coutts and melethron...ok..?!?

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Ok...you are right...coutts will add the patch....and than i will make a new version for clockwork and maybe your amonra if i can

So i say thanks for this good info :)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] melethron:
Strange, ... because i have an SLCD and i packed coutts kernel in clockwork 2.5.0.7 and it works fine.

About reiserfs. Its because of the good speed on small files. Improvement for data2sd because lags are caused by sqlite writes to /data/data

EDIT: by the way... i didnt compile the kernel from source i just packed the zimage in the recovery.
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
This patches board-mahimahi, HTC desire is board bravo not board-mahimahi, isn't board-mahimahi Samsung or something?
[Desire Android Development] Amon_RA:
Mahimahi is the HTC Nexus One.

They replaced the same AMOLED with an Sony TFT S LCD for that phone.

Htc never released the slcd kernel source patch for the bravo afaik.

The CM bravo kernel source is patched to support it : https://github.com/teamdesire/cm-kernel
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
But why melethron´s slcd desire work with the patched recovery..?

A bit confused :confused:

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] melethron:
Did they change the slcd provider before the sony ones? Again I have an slcd and the kernel works fine with recovery and regular.
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
OK so the patch will actually be in board bravo. I'll take another look tomorrow.
[Desire Android Development] andreigherghe:
Tried to flash an image with clockwork, FAIL! Now flashing with Amon Ra. Done! Best recovery EVAR!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
try a older version of unrevoked it have a option for flash a costum recovery file (have problems with with newer version but 3.1 works good)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] danial.aw:
LOVE this recovery... old is definitely gold when coming to Amon-ra... the only option not working is mount sd card :( ... anyone got a fix for that by any chance?
[Desire Android Development] tantto:
I'm trying to find a way to install this since I can't use the androidsdk anymore due to the winapi.dll error, any other ways (I'm S-OFF)?
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
mount /sdcard or toggle mass storage?

toggle should work as it works for me, mounting sdcard is for adb access not for mass storage. i think you are getting the two confused
[Desire Android Development] GearX:
THX mate!! helped me much! :)
[Desire Android Development] najar360:
Use terminal.

Flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Dont forget to put image on root sdcard

Came back to Ra after being plagued by buggy CWMs..

I had even signature verification errors with CWM on signed zips. Ra opens them fine.
[Desire Android Development] devilboy999:
can anyone help me.. i can't flash amonra 2.0 rev, after flashing CMW from unrevoked 3.

it say "failed to root, do you have new software."

please..please.. someone help me with this one.

thx..:):)

@amon: dropped you a pm about your kernel issue
[Desire Android Development] mygain:
When using Unrevoked to put this recovery on my desire, do i have to go through the whole proces of rooting again? I'm asking because ive already rooted with unrevoked (with standard CWM recovery)
[Desire Android Development] Pittek:
Sorry if being asked already, didnt found a match...

I frequently cannot restore a Nand+external backup since i upgraded from 1.7.xxx.

I get a "Error run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb" when trying to start a restore. Is there a brief howto anywhere how to restore my backups via adb?

TIA
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I had the same...use a older version of unrevoked solve it :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Yes..but that are 5 min...but go to options before plug ghe phone and select a costum recovery
[Desire Android Development] najar360:
the trick, connect your usb when try to restore.
[Desire Android Development] mercianary:
You need at least 30% battery to restore a backup or it wont let You.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Miss a new version of Ra..

How come people with other devices have all the latest things before us.. :(

Same is the case with koush..He too seems to have forsaken the Desire~!
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
it is a bit wierd that hes forgot about us :/ maybe hes not got the desire to work on

his other builds were never officially supported on the desire, only this one

still hes 2.0.1 is sufficient enough for me
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's a marvellous piece of work..But the restore option at least should have been upgraded to do through menu..All the other functions seem much better than CWM..And Ra does a better work of recognizing zip signatures..Even the look is better :)
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
i know but like i said, all releases previous to this one was compiled for the desire by someone else other than AmonRA for desire, taken from the N1

this one is the only one suggesting maybe he has limited time with the desire and does it as and when he gets hold of a device (just an assumption) by the looks of things Amon Prides himself on testing his releases on each device and he has made recoveries for quite a few.
[Desire Android Development] Ghettonine:
i have a few noob questions and i just want to clarify it by asking personaly to remove some doubts. Its my firs time flashing and i just rooted lately. So here it goes... 1. Do i need s-off to flash amonra v.2.0.0? 2. Can i flash amonra v.2.0.0 straight from sd card just like flashing a rom? Anything else that i should be concern with this latest release? TIA.
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
No u can't flash it like a rom but i've read that non s-off users flashing with unrevoked not sure which version. also it's much simpler to flash with s-off. take note that v.2.0.0 doesn't back-up sd-ext, v2.0.1 does but it's not an official release (work just fine for me). link is in my sig.
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
2.0.0 does backup sdext. But it only backups app* on it. So data would go missing. 2.0.1 backups whole sdext

Swyped with HTC Desire. Excuse typos.
[Desire Android Development] mcmikev:
I tried for the 3rd time to update to 2.0.1 but still get an error..

I reboot the phone into fastboot the from cmd (windows 7) I execute the command :

C:\asdk\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1.img

sending 'recovery' (3936 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))

finished. total time: -0.000s

I keep ketting this message..

Do I made an error, I can't see the figure out where..

Any help would be appreciated. !

edit : I am s-off and rooted ! Current recovery = 2.0.0 Amonra
[Desire Android Development] najar360:
try to redownload again. maybe your file got corrupt.
[Desire Android Development] mcmikev:
I have done that as well. Same issue. I have downloaded from the signature from amonra.
[Desire Android Development] Muxeu:
If you in Bootloader menu (Fastboot/Recovery/Clear storage/Simlock) you will have this error

sending 'recovery' (3790 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))

You must push "Fastboot" and go to Fastboot menu (Bootloader/Reboot/Reboot Bootloader/ Power down). Then

[Desire Android Development] R.ik:
Good job!

First REAL recovery I flashed :)

would be nice if the new HTC logo was implemented tho :P

Currently using this awesome recovery to flash a rom that clockwork refused to flash :D
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
What new HTC logo?
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
my bad. sorry for the wrong info :o
[Desire Android Development] Shizophren:
Why we can't use the volumekeys anymore? My trackpad is so buggy. Can't navigate :-(
[Desire Android Development] KotDroid:
Post to remove.
[Desire Android Development] bakedecake:
Is there a reason not to flash this on the phone using terminal emulator?
[Desire Android Development] retaliate:
hi, possible to make the recovery to partition more than 1 ext? current version support to partition swap, ext & fat.

it would be great if can addon the feature where we can choose to partition how many ext as now more & more ROM are required more than 1 ext.

please help to do so & i definitely will buy you a coffee!

thanks!!!
[Desire Android Development] Ghettonine:
any links where I can download unrevoked 3.1 or 3.14?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Why such an old one..3.21+ is the most compatible..

Google it..Should be the first hit
[Desire Android Development] Ghettonine:
would that work in flashing Amonra 2.0 with unrevoked on my unrooted phone? Just want to be sure. :o thanks for the reply
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It should-Unrevoked roots it. You have to change the option of the default recovery and choose the downloaded Amon Ra 2.0.1, within Unrevoked
[Desire Android Development] Ghettonine:
i need help....

i have a problem flashing the latest radio

i used amonra 2.0.1

i dont think im done flashing, it just says "Formatting CACHE:..."

I am able to scroll with the recovery but dont know what to do

can any one help pls? I can see the android coming out from the box from the background.
[Desire Android Development] KotDroid:
Had the same situation with amonra 2.0.0. After a while I've just rebooted phone and the radio was flashed.... Maybe it was stupid and risky but no other option ;).
[Desire Android Development] [armitage]:
Same here...just yesterday I flashed the latest radio with RA 2.0.1 and after the writing part and the reboot it also hung on "Formatting CACHE:...".

As the writing part was already done,I also decided to just reboot.

As KotDroid already mentioned the Radio was flashed ok and so far I don't have any problems.

So I guess everything went kinda ok then.:)
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
i dont flash radios via recovery, s-off is much better for this
[Desire Android Development] Tillus:
Why?
[Desire Android Development] mercianary:
Incase something goes wrong. If flashing a radio goes wrong your screwed. Its safer to flash radio from fastboot.
[Desire Android Development] hallydamaster:
According to some thread i read, it wont brick your phone having a bad radio flash! It should be possible to boot to recovery and flash it again! Same thing using fastboot!

I prefer using fastboot to flash radios as it is much faster!

Hallydamaster
[Desire Android Development] reef2009:
Does anyone know if there will be an update with:

* backup more than one EXT partition, e.g. Fat,ext4,ext4,swap

* better partitioning options (I don't like gparted)

* fix for updating the radio

????
[Desire Android Development] Ghettonine:
Guys, need help!

I cant do a nandroid backup or restore with Amonra 2.0.1. I keep getting this error "Error: Run 'nandroid-mobile.sh' via adb!' How do i solve this? Now im afraid to flash anything because the nandroid backup/restore only gives error. Good think im on a stable rom and can reboot normaly but the error is still there when going back to recovery and doing a nand backup/restore. By the way I was in badnwz hd rom, did a succesful backup+ext and flashed leedroid. I was about to flash a new kernel and the nandroid backup error pops-up. TIA for those who can help.
[Desire Android Development] najar360:
it is show that your battery is low. try to plug charger or usb cable. then try to restore.
[Desire Android Development] Ghettonine:
I just charge to full, boot to recovery with plug charger, still got the error both backup and restore. Does this problem have to do with +ext? cuz all of my nand backups are +ext but it doesnt explain why amonra 2.0.1 cant create a backup cuz i still got the error withoout the +ext backup. can someone please help...
[Desire Android Development] reef2009:
Is it positie you renamed the backup. AmonRa can'r deal what that! Its the same fault I got a white ago. Only for restore. For backup I don't know.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
that thread is wrong, bad radio flashes can most deffinately full brick your device to a non bootable state and no charge.

ive seen it done
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
It depends on how bad.. if it is correctly downloaded, and for same version and only different signal, it will only degrade or kill the signal.

However, bad download or bad flashing or wrong version (for example htc hero radio flashed to desire etc) will surely kill the phone
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
radio is part of spl, if you mess it up it will kill the phone

the point is a bad radio flash is not like a bad rom flash where it results in bootloop. it will brick the device like a bad hboot does.

if the md5 or package of the img is incorrect and you flash it via recovery without checking then you can kill the device

worse still if you suddenly suffer sdcard corruption and flash the zip that was previously ok then it will kill the device

recovery can also mess up sometimes as its an os within its own right. you remove this from the equation using fastboot

fastboot is the safest way to flash a radio, this isnt a lie
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
Agree with you... That above is what i meant too by bad flashing... The one i meant will not brick the device if the zip is downloaded correctly , but only the signal difference, then it's ok, but if it happens like what you said above, yes, the phone is *dead* :)

hey how can i shift rom CWM to Amonra?? Is there any procedure to follow??
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
Yesterday I installed the program "Seek Droid" nice program, but then I realised suddenly the program is of no use, if somebody knows how to get into the recovery mode, and decides to do a full wipe.... Or flash an other rom... I that case Seek Droid will also be removed, and then there is no way to recover your Desire anymore.

Amon_Ra, is there a way to implementate some kind of security code which a person has to enter first before doing a wipe or before flashing a rom?
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
There is no such thing as total security. What if the person flashes a different recovery wipes your phone and installs a new rom. What then?
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
Hmmm didn't think that far yet...

But evey bit helps right? And a recovery can be entered much easier compared to flashing an other recovery... Entering the recovery can be done everywhere. flashing an other recovery, you at least need a computer...
[Desire Android Development] samy.3660:
Hi, Guys i am on CWM and i want to shift to amonra recovery, should i just go about downloading unrevoked and install through it?? Am i right?? I am s-on
[Desire Android Development] Amon_RA:
Flashing a recovery doesn't change a single bit to your installed ROM...

You probably did something else to get those issues.
[Desire Android Development] mdmar:
To keep it short: nope...
[Desire Android Development] Café King:
Working great here and looks good :) No probs at all...

How can I flash it if I have already root-ed my Desire with Unrevoked 3 and ClockworkMod recovery. I have ext partition on the sd card and my phone still said S-ON. The security off was ticked when I used unrevoked I'm on a Mac .

Sorry to bother, but I'm very new to all this.

Thank you.

[Desire Android Development] iinga:
You can just flash it through unrevoked by pressing "select custom recovery" and then choosing it.
[Desire Android Development] fllash:
Love the new colours, and the structure of the options is very intuitive.

Is it possible, though, for a:

Flash update.zip from SDCARD

option to be added?

Josh.

Also, is it possible for a format /System option?
[Desire Android Development] Oijkn:
Thanks for the update it's cool ! Just report you that i can't update it over unrevoked3 (it can't access root after the first reboot...) but via flashboot mode i have successed to flash the recovery :) great work again !!

Edit1: I have notified that after flash the new Recovery RA, the size of my internal memory decrease about 4Mo, somebody can explain me that please ? Can i clean the "temp" flash memory if that possible ?
[Desire Android Development] linde34:
I flashed it via fastboot, it works...

Thanks to Amon_RA
[Desire Android Development] miyu-hitori:
please add wipe system option in next release,it is the only thing let me stay with clockworkmod recovery.
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Also flashable via a terminal on youre phone.

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/amonra.img

[where amonra.img is the recovery placed in the root of the sdcard.Renamed, is easyer to type]

Thanks to OP..:-)
[Desire Android Development] w.0.o.t:
got that as well.. the super user icon was changed after flashing the recovery to the ninja one. it was the grey "pirate" android before..

and thanks for the tip! works fine now! :D
[Desire Android Development] :
fantastic, flashed via fastboot und it works great!

been waiting for this, thanks a lot!

[Desire Android Development] Sturmtief:
Any chance to get this as fake flash file? In my opinion it's the best recovery but some roms, like robociks HD Roms, only want to install with clockwork and for easy changing recovery, I'm using fake flash! Would be great to get an update.zip file for fake flash for this recovery!

Thx
[Desire Android Development] Kiralina:
Thank you guys for the help. I managed to flash it.

Great recovery. Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
Wow..gr8 update bro... work fine on SLCD using fastboot n android terminal to flashing it...

But anyone confirm that...does its wiping SD card on nandroid restoring time...?
[Desire Android Development] samy.3660:
hey can somebody answer the above post??
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
This has been answered many times already. Read back a few pages or better still read the FIRST post. Hope that answers your question. Have fun flashing. :D
[Desire Android Development] samy.3660:
Hey guys did it myself thanks.

Here's how:

If you have s-on device, and you want to flash amonra recovery over cwm.

Download unrevoked and amonra revovery image .img file.

In unrevoked select amon ra image and after that connect usb, and let unrevoked do the rest.

If you get an error, go to some old rom, i went to leedroid v1.3, and it went butter smooth.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Neo3000x:
Hi..

Previously I had ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1, but as I couldn't backup my ext4 partitions I desided to switch to this.

I flashed it through unrEVOked 3.21 and it worked perfectly.

But... The superuser app is somehow corrupted, as every time I open, let's say SetCPU or MyBackup Root, I have to give permissions all the time.

This means that if I'm going to backup my apps it will take forever to accept all those notifications.

Is there a way to fix this? Or a way to allow everything in superuser?
[Desire Android Development] hallydamaster:
Reflash your ROM without wipe, that should do it!

Guys, give up. It's long time dead, there is no point beating dead horse. Go to funeral instead a put nice flowers over RA-desire's grave.
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
I use AmonRA over CWM - SO much easier IMO. Always hated CWM
[Desire Android Development] jemuillot:
Thanks~

I found the speed in the "mount mode" is slower than in the "running" mode.

Could you make it full speed just like a generic TF-Card Reader?

I sometimes use Desire as a Card-Reader, and hope it faster than 2.5Mbps when using a C4 TF Card.

Guys i need a wee bit of help.

I dl'ed the rec file,and am trying to flash it.

Now i already have a rooted Desire (via unrevocked) with clockwork 2.5.07.

And when i bring up the unrevocked app and select the rec file ,it starts going well,etc,and at the end the app says something like "failed to push rec file - something something root"

use unrevoked 3.14 or 3.21 instead of the latest one

[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Sorry going to sound really dumb.

But Been using ra_recovery on my nexus and is clearly the best for that phone. Been using CWM forever on my desire.

Can anyone give me a reason to change. Really don't have brand loyalty, but starting to get fed up with CMW, compared to nexus ra_recovery. CMW has gotten me out of allot of mischief and reluctant to change what works.

Edit: and would love to see my grumpy care bear back too, would make it even more special if it was on my desire.

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] aca85:
Tnx ,ill give it a try...

So i do the same procedure again :

- Run the app,load the rec file,then enable usb debbuging on my phone,plug it in and let it fly?

p.s. do i need to do a nand aka will the flashing of the new rec.have any effect on my current Rom?

EDIT : didnt work >_>
