Its not rom related...if you have an HTC Desire(GSM) you can flash it...

So,

I have clockwork recovery on recovery mod, and I want change it to AmonRa.

I have test to do it with Unrevoked as SuperUser : sudo su ... Unrevoked says that a success, but when I reboot in bootloader it's always clockwork !

Why ???
[Desire Android Development] mcmikev:
I flashed this recovery without problems, but my trackball does not change anything. I tried all the moves on the trackball but the green bar stays on Reboot system now. Trackball is working normal in the images !!

Also in previous Clockworkmod this was working. What could be wrong here ??

Any advise is welcome.. I cannot go to other options now :(

Edit : Did a shutdown and moved the trackball around a lot.. Now it works again !
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
I like the themed one. Trackball Works really smooth, better then before!

Thanks alot!

[Desire Android Development] Careca_2010:
I think you should enter the menue item "fastboot" itself before trying to perform a flashing. I had the same notification when I updated my recovery. After entering the "fastboot" item flashing has been no issue at all.
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Cant seem to erase my recovery via 'fastboot erase recovery' nor the fastboot commander :\
[Desire Android Development] hallydamaster:
Even if you are S-OFF, you have to apply the latest SPL to be able to use erase commands.
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
and how does one go about doing that?!

i can see the option to flash SPL via fastboot commander, just need a reference to the .img file i guess...

i get a msg saying erasing 'recovery'....FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Cheers for the refernce mate, done fast n easy, was cracking my head over this one :\

can't install it using enrevoked (in windows & linux) have only "we didn't get root"

I was trying to reebot pc and desire but with no success, still the same. I'm using rooted ROM AuraXTsence 8.0 Can somebody help me?

Try with this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=823315
[Desire Android Development] cv1ekas:
Hmmm that's strange, my desire is S-OFF but there are no option to flash recovery through fastboot,there just few option in fastboot: bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down and nothing more.I missed something? :confused:

for now I am using clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7
[Desire Android Development] zukers:
I don't have S-OFF, any other solutions?
[Desire Android Development] StuMcBill:
Fastboot is a program that is run from your computer, its a part of the android sdk.

[Desire Android Development] blambo:
Thx!

Thanks for this update Amon_RA.

Nice work! Much appreciated. ;)
[Desire Android Development] cv1ekas:
flashed this recovery via android flasher 1.5 i think this program is best for flashing recovery.thanks for recovery man its better than clockworkmod,and thanks StuMcBill for explaining me what is fastboot
[Desire Android Development] Yannn:
the big difference between clockwork and AmonRa is that Clockwork could flash unsigned rom or modified rom and amonRa couldn't !

And that point is, in my opinion +1 for Clockwork !!!
[Desire Android Development] mercianary:
It sure can. The option is under 'other'
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Or alternatively that to flash unsigned roms on AmonRa you need to disable signature verification.

On the other hand, amonra's menus are much better looking (clockwork has too much "NO" spam...) and can partition your sd card...
[Desire Android Development] thierry_b:
Hello,

I used Unrevocked when I baught my HTC Desire phone, to root it and install a custom recovery (amonRa).

When I tried to use it to update my recovery today, it hang, after the reboot of my phone, so I've always the 1.7.0.1-R5 instead of 2.0.

I've several questions:

- Is it without risk to use unrevoked until I managed to put the lastest recovery (maybe it doesn't work always at first time)?

- there is an option to disable security on phone which is quoted by default, it's temporary to install the new recovery no?

I don't think it replaces the S-OFF procedure no?

Thanks :-)
[Desire Android Development] ghiki:
great!!! THANKS!
[Desire Android Development] mercuxio:
Same goes for me with unrevoked. But with the older version of unrevoked it works :)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Many people in this thread have done this, and it seems to have worked fine, except for the fact that Unrevoked also flashes a new SuperUser.apk, which may replace or screw with the one in your ROM (Unrevoked was pretty much made for rooting stock ROMs). Shouldn't cause any problems other than that.

Do you mean on Unrevoked? They don't have S-OFF for Desire yet, only for a few other devices, IIRC. For Desire S-OFF, you need to use Alpharev's bootable CD (www.alpharev.nl)... after that you can just use fastboot flash recovery to flash this AmonRA 2.0...
[Desire Android Development] sjgore:
I installed the CyanogenMod-themed version a couple of days ago, thanks very much for an excellent recovery! :)

Just one question, though: Is there a reason why the volume buttons don't move the selection up and down, as with other recoveries? This would be much appreciated in a future release. Big thumbs and delicate optical sensors don't mix well! :)
[Desire Android Development] :
Been using for a few days now and have to say great work, the menu layout makes sense and is simple to navigate and with the added bonus of a different look with the cm theme it's simply superb, so thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
sweet, flashed nice and easy with fastboot. was previously using clockworkmod

1 of 2 things

either you are using an early image of alpharev s-0ff which has not got extented fastboot commands

or

you are using a CDMA desire which had s-off from unrevoked and again doesnt have extended fastboot commands
[Desire Android Development] Saenic:
Where can I get the older version of unrevoked? I deleted the one I used to root my phone a while ago and replaced it with the new one but I can't flash 2.0 with it now.
[Desire Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Thanks for the new version. Being able to get .zip files to flash from a subfolder is very helpfull.

But I do not understand why the "Verification toggle" is now in "Others". Was very easy to use when it was in the "Flash ZIP". All in one sub menu.
[Desire Android Development] diego4t:
I agree, would be great for the next major release to add it back so its all in the one sub menu!

Is really nice and responsive though! Feels fresh :)

thanks for a great recovery! :)
[Desire Android Development] Amon_RA:
It was never in "Flash ZIP", I think you are confusing this recovery with CWM...
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
right, it wasn't there. But I agree it it's a little hard to reach. you go to flash zip, get an error, must go to another sub menu to switch it off, then back to flash zip. And worst, the setting is not stored. So if you use a rom which is not signed, you have to modify this pretty often.

Swyped with HTC Desire. Excuse typos.
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0x64:
just flashed this recovery and ran a nand+ext backup

backed up the fat32 partition, repartitioned the sdcard and then restored the backup i had just created

as the phone booted i noticed the boot animation was missing, then when the OS had loaded, started getting FC's

luckily, using rom manager and clockwork mod recovery to restore a previous backup worked fine.

i had a look at the backup made with this recovery and noticed the ext backup was much smaller than the one made with CWM, and that the ext.tar file that was created with RA-desire only contains

./app

./app_s

./app-private

but the ext partition on my phone also has /customize_s and ./dalvik-cache folders

any reason why these weren't archived as well?
[Desire Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
I was never using something different than your great recovery SW.

And I am sure (just to lazy to flash back old version) that whenever I flashed a ZIP file I went to a submenu, switched off verification and then flashed my modded ROM.zip file from the same submenu.
[Desire Android Development] Amon_RA:
Correct, it only backups the app* directories.

Reason : ext can be very big for some people (ubuntu on ext etc...).
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
Hmm, my guess is those people with something like ubuntu are less than those people which have more valuable data than app*

/data/data comes to mind fast when using firerat a2sd implementation. Or me having a personal dir when I moved some big files there by hand and putting up soft links.

What about a third option, like "backup nand", "backup nand +sdext apps", "backup nand + sdext full" and all demands would be satisfied.

To be honest, I am pretty happy I didn't move /data/data, now I know it's not backuped. But it's recommended in cyanogen forums firerat release thread.

Swyped with HTC Desire. Excuse typos.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Crap, I didn't know that. Quite unfortunate, as the /data/data/ bind offers practically limitless space for apps.

Is there a (recommended) way to back that up manually? Just mount sd-ext and copy to FAT + tar?
[Desire Android Development] Amon_RA:
Ok, will implement it in the next version.
[Desire Android Development] mariosraptor:
Amon_Ra is the Man. really loving the new recovery, and is it my idea or is it alot faster than 1.7.0.1?

anyhow, thanks a million!
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
Is there any workaround for backing up everything in ext partition?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
That would be awesome. Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] TieT:
it is faster, at least it feels faster then the previous verzion :)
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
Thanks again :)

Swyped with HTC Desire. Excuse typos.
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
The old version was an unofficial port which had it's issues. It was never supported by amonra. I can only guess the author gave up on it, since the latest version had a bug making it unusable, and slcd support was a mod of a user as far as I know.

This is an official build, it's supported, stable, and the same all the other phones use. So yes, you want it (:

Swyped with HTC Desire. Excuse typos.
[Desire Android Development] Sashtheflash:
hi there is there any possibilityyy to flash it directly from the phone? via terminal maybe? would be great if someone knows the command

cause i have no ucb cable around here
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
Hi,

Just use this command Android terminal... make sure u have flash_image file in system/bin folder...

"flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_name.img"
[Desire Android Development] Sashtheflash:
Thx a lot did this before on my magic but forgot about the image..

tried flash recovery recover.img

flash_recovery and so on but not flash image^^
[Desire Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
Hi,

I put on Amon Ra's Recovery, partitioned ext3 and flashes latest CM6 nightly.

How do i go about using this ext3 partition? (want apps2ext)

Do i need to install/flash apps2ext?

Please help
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Read the first post in the CM Nightly thread. It explains A2sd options available.
[Desire Android Development] fuinhu:
LULZ :D:D:D
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
One curious thing, when going to browse to flash a zip the browser doesn't like directories named like "- myfolder" - it just goes back to the main recovery home screen.

I have a "- flash" folder because it shows at the top this way where I put my flash files and have had to rename it to "Flash" instead and just scroll to it - not a major issue but worth mentioning :p

Other than that though, awesome! Was on 1.7.0.5 previously.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
I use 00 Roms to keep it at the top :)
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
How we are all cheaters (: I use AAA-roms

Swyped with HTC Desire. Excuse typos.
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
Oooh! I'll use it :p

Should that be 000h!
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
LOL, looks like we all had the same idea. I use "0Flashable" :D
[Desire Android Development] terryhau:
I have my /data/data binded to sd-ext/data use firerat.

Almost lost it all because i thought nandroid backed up the entire sd-ext.

Is there any way to nandroid the whole sd-ext at the moment? I want to try some other roms, but can't without being able to nandroid backup and restore everything.
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
Right now, no. but as amonra said it backups app* on sdcard. So a workaround which I use in another context is: rename your data dir on sdext to app-data and soft link data to it...

Works for now... Requires a little manual work until the next version arrives :)

Swyped with HTC Desire. Excuse typos.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Same problem here, pretty much. The workaround for me right now is just not to flash any ROMs that would require a Data+Cache wipe... :(
[Desire Android Development] Amon_RA:
Try this version : nandroid should backup everything on sd-ext. I didn't test it yet so check the sd-ext backup tar once you made a nandroid backup.
[Desire Android Development] Shane2:
The optical pad scrolling is so much better on this updated version, compared with version 1.7.0.1 R5... Great work!
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Fan-fricken-tastic, flashing it now for testing. Thanks!

-edit- Looks like it worked. Everything's there... restoring should work fine too, no? Or does that need to be tested too?
[Desire Android Development] terryhau:
Cool. Thanks.

Gonna give it a test.
[Desire Android Development] Amon_RA:
It should work :-) , I didn't test it yet though.
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0x64:
Thanks Amon_RA, the 2.0.1 build worked well.

I was able to backup everything (including all the files on the EXT partition) and restore it all again later :)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Thanks for the confirmation. Haven't gotten around to trying out the restore yet :D
[Desire Android Development] thierry_b:
amonRa 2.0

So, it's better to do that with flashing again the rom?

Ok, Thanks :-)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
I'd recommend Alpharev S-OFF + fastboot flash recovery, actually. Once you've got S-OFF, switching recoveries is easy-peasy...

Of course, if you're not looking to S-OFF your phone at all, Unrevoked would be the obvious choice... just make sure you back up your Superuser APK in case you don't like the one Unrevoked flashes :)
[Desire Android Development] thierry_b:
Yes, I'd like, but I'm afraid bricking my phone as it's the only procedure that is not sure at 100% lol. I tell myself that if it's just used to change recovery sometimes, I prefer backup this apk or reinstall my rom or precisely benefiting to upgrade my rom after upgrading recovery.

And If I want to have write access to /system to move an apk like apk for detecting sim card change, wipe by sms or locate my phone, I can reboot in recovery mode and with "su", it works :-)

Thanks :-)
[Desire Android Development] rraaka:
Hi,

I read the first post really well and some more from the front and some from the back...Im really confused.

I used unrevoked 3 (reflash package ) to root my Desire. I have hboot 0.80. The rooting never asked me for any option to choose amon ra recovery.I have clockworkmod recovery thru rom manager.

the recovery i can access by having phone off and pressing power and vol down -it doesnt give me option to partition my sd card and change extention from 2 to 3 etc.

how can i have amon ra recovery please ? I dont want to s off yet coz im scared to yet.

thanks
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
In unrevoked before you connect your phone go to file > use custom recovery and then choose the amonra image
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
unrevoked got a menu! On menus you can do awesome stuff including, but not limited to, choose the recovery file.which should be flashed

Swyped with HTC Desire. Excuse typos.
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
About s-off: I follow the thread for over a month now. If you do nothing stupid like take of battery in early stages, it seams secure.actually,i saw only one guy who might have blown his phone, but nitty all details revealed.

Some others have problems with the last step not finishing, but if you wait 30 minutes and the take out battery, money of them had issues. For most people it works on under 5 minutes.

To sum it up:

Observation about a month

No bricks

Some minor problems with last step

One idiot perhaps screwed up, but didn't reveal details (yet)

I would say, its secure. I s-off'd myself four phones. Just make sure battery pad charged...

Swyped with HTC Desire. Excuse typos.
[Desire Android Development] rraaka:
hey Guys, thanks for your replies. I MUST be an idiot. Never saw there was a menu to choose recovery from with unrevoked :p

but when I used that app i didnt know about amon ra at all.

Now Im using 2.2 custom roms from our forums. Can I just go ahead and use unrevoked to flash the amon ra .img file given in the first post or do i need to unroot with -

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe

then use unrevoked with new amon ra image file ?

i did another mistake i never noted down the exact software version i had with my fresh new desire. I just know i had 2.1 eclair. hboot 0.80

Thanks for your help and patience.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Just use unrevoked again
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
If youre using AmonRas recovery(2.0.0) with S-OFF it was reported to cause some issues with nand, ppl were referred to version 2.0.1
[Desire Android Development] nulry:
i have tried to flash the recovery by using unreovked and choose the custom recovery, after desire rebooted, and go into the recovery mode again, it's still is the clockmod recovery, wt happened? are there another way to flash the recovery? becuz i need to partition my sd card, thx~~
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
Where did you see this? What kind of problems? Haven't seen a version 2.0.1 anywhere. Never had any problems with amonra so far.

You can use clockword to partition sd cards. Partitioned mine while i was running 2.5.0.7...
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
WHERE was that reportet? i follow this thread from the beginning and this is the first time i read that... i did successfull backups and restores with 2.0.0 - but now i am on 2.0.1 of course
[Desire Android Development] karloe:
Go back to post 152 :eek:
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
flip a few pages back and you find 2.0.1 release by amon ra - i guess he wanted us to test it first or it was only a quick fix for the sd-ext-backup issue - otherwise he would have posted it to post #1

clockworkmod cannot partition sdcards. rom manager can partition them with the help of clockworkmod (fake flash). best method is gparted - you wont lose your data. i still would do a backup.
[Desire Android Development] mercianary:
It doesn't backup other directories in ext partition.
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
Whoops my bad. Could've sworn i've seen the option in clockwork. :p

Quick question now it backs up everything in sd-ext right?
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
how is that related to s-off? thats just a sd-ext issue... original quote was:

so big void of nothingness?
[Desire Android Development] mercianary:
Its not related to s-off. But it is the only issue I know of.
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
same here - hoping for jagdish84 to enlighten us
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
How do we use gparted with AmonRA? Can I convert an EXT3 partition back to an EXT2 without losing any data? That would be great, backing up and restoring the entire SD card just in order to repartition is annoying as hell at ~1MB/s...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZetaTre:
Three days ago I switched back from CM6.1 to stock 2.2: I wanted to see if I would get the OTA for 2.2.1 but so far nothing. This morning I decided to try it manual, but it appears all the links I could find for 2.2.1 have been pulled. No wonder the OTA wasn't coming...

Or have they just changed it somewhere? What's the address for the repository of stock ROMs for the N1?

Give me one simple reason why Google would refuse to put OTA updates online when they have millions of servers? Don't even try telling me it's for maintenance.

There has to be something behind all of this...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwig:
It has happened before for froyo.

And it is my understanding that the OTA server is pretty small in size. It would make sense because realistically how many connections does it need to support?

Then again, I am probably wrong and it's all virtual.

That makes sense! Hopefully they'll announce something soon
[Streak 5 General] streakNmyPants:
Does anyone know if when receiving pictures on the Streak has been fixed? I hate receiving pictures that I can't see and then having to ask the sender to send to the email instead.

Any mentions on this issue?
[Wildfire Android Development] jacopastorius:
I had a issue with any rom and internet connection sharing. First time i share my connection i was able to browse internet. When i disconnect, then reconnect my wildfire was correctly recognized by my laptop, create the connection, but i was not able to browse internet. I searched the forum and i found out that others users had this same problem. So this is the way i fixed it:

go to settings-->wireless and connection-->network mode then switch to WCDMA only. Your connection will be lost. Now switch again to GSM/WCDMA auto and you will be able to access the internet again.
