Hi, I'm using Amon's Recovery Image at the moment and want to use clockworks rom manager as the Cyanogen updater isnt working for me.
Is it OK to just flash the Clockwork recovery image over my Amon recovery image.. or do I need to remove Amon first... if so how?
Thanks
before you go to clockwork,read the thread on it and the issues being reported.im also thinking this shoulda went to question section.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Just go to bootloader and type
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
No need to 'delete' clockwork mod

Hi guys, my phone currently running Amon_RA 1.6.2 and CyanogenMOD 5.0.5. Now I want to upgrade to Amon RA 1.7.0 and CyanogenMod 5.0.5.1. I know how to upgrade the ROM and I can use the updater to do that, but do I upgrade the recovery image first? and how do I upgrade the recovery image?
Thanks
No you do not have to update the recovery image first and
fastboot flash recovery [path leading up to recovery image]/[name of recovery image].img
i.e.
fastboot flash recovery C:/recovery.img
Thanks I just figured it out, and realized it was a dump question to ask...
Hi XDA, as title says, i cant get boot into recovery...
I have an HTC Dream (Spanish version of G1), and Im having problems with the recovery boot.
I have root done on the phone and i've tried to install a new recovery via Clockwork app, adb shell, also via Fastboot and via "RECOVERY FLASHER"...
All of them look to finish succesfully, but I still cant boot onto recovery.
Every time I try to boot on recovery, the phone gets hang on the company logo... until I get out the battery to turn it off.
I dont know what can I try more...
Any idea ?
Thanks
If you cannot boot into recovery by holding down Home and Power, then you're bricked, I believe. What were you trying to do?

I can boot normally, and I run apps that need root correctly, but I want to boot into recovery to flash a custom ROM...
Clockwork mod needs to reboot into recovery to reflash a Custom ROM, so I cant get another rom that way neither.
Any idea (again)?
Do you have terminal on your phone? Download amon RA recovery 1.7.0 for HTC Dream and use that instead Clockwork because it is most recommended. Rename it to recovery.img and move it to the root of your SD card.
Go to terminal on your phone and type:
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
Now try to boot into recovery mode.

If you have root access, then you can try to (re-)install your recovery image using adb.
Open a shell using the command
adb shell
and then from there you can try to flash the recovery image by entering
flash_image recovery recovery.img
where recovery.img is the name of the recovery image you want to install and it should be located in the current directory.
Edit: two people same ideas ... ;-)
Both things re-done...
Nuthin'
Anything else ?
Thanks for the answers anyway
Bump...
Any help ?
Fastboot is working for me, but I have the default SPL and I cant use "fastboot flash new_recovery.img" ---> Not allowed.
Theres a way to flash another SPL using phone terminal, or using fastboot ?
Thanks
I'm not sure, but if I was in the same boots as you, I would download the DREAIMG.nhb and flash that in fastboot. Once done, you'll be on Stock RC29. Yep, you're going to have to root again and re-install a custom recovery.
This is also safe to do since you're on HBOOT-0.95.000.

Thats y i m trying to get onto Recovry:
Specs:stock 2.3.4, Bootloader unlockd (not roooted still!!)
Can som1 help? thx
Flash it from fastboot. Which I think you did anyways but that is not adb.
Then you must boot directly into recovery. If you boot up the phone it will overnight it with stock. You flash from a computer. Not from SD......

Just help me do an nandroid and wipe cache/dalvik

thx sir!
Again. Put the recovery image in the same directory as fastboot on your computer. Issue the correct exact command. Fastboot flash recovery "put the exact file name here"
Now on your phone which is still in fastboot mode.... pick the recovery option. It is that simple.....

i have mrkd ur post as thx n stuff so that this thread is resolved
If you are on a stock ROM, any custom recovery (like Amon_RA) will be overwritten on every boot with the stock recovery.
To make the custom recovery stick while using a stock ROM, you need to delete (or rename) the following two files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
... as mentioned in the first post of the Amon_RA recovery thread...

Read the guide in Wiki. The file to flash from recovery that does just that, is there.

Yeah. Sad thing is, had he actually read the wiki and done what it said, he would have never had to make this thread. Sigh... people will never learn.
Following the ethos of "because I can" I decided to port Amon_Ra to the Legend. Well, "port" might be a bit strong. I used the android kitchen to pull apart Amon Ra for the HTC Hero and ClockworkMOD for the Legend, then copied the relevant files from Ra to CWM and merged them. On that note, ROM Manager probably won't work with Ra. (What I think it will do is fakeflash CWM over Ra, so if you reboot to recovery using ROM Manager you'll get CWM, and if you reboot to recovery using the extended power menu in CM you'll get Ra)
Everything seems to work OK, but don't count on it. Like I said, this was done because I can and for a laugh. Backup with CWM before you try and be sure to have a copy of CWM to hand if you want to go back.
You NEED S-OFF to use this (Alpharev HBOOT) as it's flashed using fastboot. So, enjoy!
To flash:
1. Turn your phone off
2. Turn it on with the back button held down
3. Plug your phone into your PC
4. flash using fastboot
Code:
fasboot flash recovery Amon_Ra-1.7.0.1.img
DOWNLOAD: http://www.mediafire.com/file/j0o63jc4kua1a6x/Amon_Ra-1.7.0.1.img
Amon_Ra is actually pretty cool, there's a lot of stuff you can do via ADB (plug the phone in, type adb shell [enter] then utility [enter]). Main problem: the zips you flash NEED to be signed for Amon_Ra to flash them.
Other recoveries
To aid in recovering your recovery maybe, who knows?

Have you looked at the 4EXT touch recovery thread in the Development section? If you are properly rooted, 4EXT touch recovery should be able to overwrite CWM without any issues.
Yeah i downloaded the 4EXTRecovery installer and chose the option to install the recovery. I got a message after sometime saying that the recovery had been successfully installed. But on rebooting it was still CWM.
Never mind. I just had to download the recovery.img and use fastboot to flash it manually.
