What is the best recovery for N1 ?

Hi
I have N1 and I want to install the best recovery
so which recovery you suggest me to put in it
and thank you

Amon or Clockwork.....

There is no "best", just try and see which one suits you the most...For me, it's definitely Amon_Ra.

i tried Clockwork but i didnt like it
Amon_Ra is awusome

Clockwork works great for me!

OK, why don't we discuss why we prefer the recovery we use...
I prefer Clockworkmod because it works with ROM Manager. Amon Ra doesn't...
Also, Clockworkmod lets you browse through sub-folders when flashing zips. I haven't used Amon for a while, so I don't know if this feature has been added in the newer version?
Also, I've noticed possible install issues between Amon and the 0.35 hboot.
I've no idea what Amon can do better than Clockworkmod?

I don't like my recovery being controller in-OS, Amon_Ra allows browsing through folder too. Also, I have 0.35 hboot (I have an SLCD nexus) and had issues installing the newest Amon_Ra CM themed, but the normal version worked just fine.
It's not so much a matter of which does more than the other, just preference! Not bashing anyone, both Amon_Ra and Koush are doing great work and we all have to thank them for that, because they allowed our Nexus to flash some super awesome custom ROMs
As long as it flashes (unsigned), does NAND backups/restore and wipes, you're fine.

I agree, it is preference.
If Amon worked with ROM Manager, I'd probably be using it too...

I prefer Amon, especially with the 2.0 update that added the ability to select a .zip from within folders. I had some poor experiences with clockwork corrupting nandroid backups, and haven't had the same experience with Amon's.

[Q] Please Help!!!

I recently attempted to root my N1 but after unlocking the bootloader and using superboot to gain root, everytime i boot up now i get an error that says "process system is not responding" I'm hoping this $600 paperweight can be turned back into a phone

You don't need to root if you unlocked the bootloader...
If there's a pulse, it probably ain't dead...
Download the ROM you wish to use, then use fastboot to flash a custom recovery, boot into recovery, wipe, then install the downloaded ROM.

I tried that with CM7 and it errors out on installing update.zip

It's not an 'update.zip' if you are trying to flash a full ROM. Select 'Install ROM from SD' if you are rooted and using Rom Manager, otherwise reboot into your custom recovery and select 'flash .zip from SD'.

Ok, i think i'm getting this now. You're saying that you don't need Root to flash a custom ROM if the Bootloader is unlocked, but for anything that requires Root (i.e Titanium Backup), you still need that additional step? So really, unlocking the Bootloader is pointless at the moment as using a combination of SOC and Rom Manager gives you the best of all worlds.

You don't need this step, since all the custom ROMs come pre-rooted. If you unlock the bootloader to install custom recovery.

Thanks, it's all useful info.
It's worth noting that not everbody wants to use a custom ROM, but they may still want Root and the advantages it brings, on their stock ROM. (Me for one!!)

Still, if you only want root access, why unlock the bootloader, since unlocking the bootloader only gives the ability to flash images (unless you want to flash a rooted stock image, in which case why root the rom you have)?

You probably still have the stock recovery my friend. Cuz you won't find installing zip from sd card if you don't have a custom recovery. So flash ar or clock work to install a custom rom. Good luck.

Please help

I have ICS on my HTC vivid, I don't lke it at all I want a regular sense 3.5 Rom like rolliraider, or rumraider. It won't let me boot into recovery...I don't know what to do please help me

what do you mean it won't let you boot into recovery? are you pressing the correct buttons?

Did you unlock the bootloader and flash CWM recovery?
Also why did you create a new thread when the other one created asked the same question?

If you ota upgraded to ics thats why you can't get into recovery.
You gotta have a nonstock recovery (ie: CWM, or WC's recovery)
You'll have to flash a new boot.img, a GB friendly kernel, possibly reflash the cwm recovery (All through fastboot usb) and then flash the GB rom you want.

CWM / RA Recovery and custom hboot

Hi,
I want to flash the Jelly-Bean-Rom of reider on my Nexus one. I am currently running on CM7.2 and have already installed 4ext-Recovery and Blackrose.
Afaikt are there problems with 4ext at the moment when you want to flash custom hboots on your NexusOne. So my question is, is it possible to just install CWM or RA-Recovery on my CM7.2 and flash the needed hboot afterwards? Do I need a special recovery?
I read many manuals how to flash a custom hboot etc. but I wasn't able to find a definitive answer, if I have to install Recovery again after upgrading hboot or not. _And_ if I need a special recovery.
Help is appreciated!

You don't need any special recovery if you flash the partition scheme via fastboot. How this works is explained in the Evervolv Jellybean Thread. Your recovery should be untouched by this procedure. Alternatively you can switch your recovery to use flashable zips from this thread, but it is not necessary.

Run or phone at normal mode. Connect USB to or phone open black rose there are options u can choose pick the one that resizes or hbot. :beer:

if you are flashing hboot via fastboot/blackrose then u dont need to change recovery.
if u want to change hboot via recovery(4ext) then follow this post and see if it helps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30271020&postcount=124
and yes you can change to either cwm or amon n flash those hboots. cos it sometimes doesnt work wid 4ext...

[Q] Do you need a custom kernel to install clockwork mod recovery?

So I have a Samsung i9000 and when I install clockwork mod recovery from the ROM manager app it doesn't let me boot into it and just takes to the stock recovery and when I try to install it from the stock recovery it say "whole file signature not found" and aborts the operation so what do I need to do to install clock work mod recovery? I want this so I can install a custom ROM to my phone.

Fpnd cf root and flash it from odin

To answer your question, yes it does. Custom recoveries rely on custom kernels.
Easiest one for Gingerbread is CF-Root, as compacity suggested. Not too many mods and incredibly quick to apply.
