Was the clockwork recovery image built specifically for this or is it the same one used for the mytouch/g1/nexus ect?
Wondering just because I prefer to use Amonra's Recovery on my G1 and the Mytouch regular I have.
So basically wanted to know if I could use this on the Mytouch Slide too.
Wondering before I flash and accidentally brick it for doing something before making sure others think it is okay.
You actually CANNOT flash a new recovery, the only known method for changing the recovery is through the ENG-BUILD. Amon Ra's were built specifically for each device though.
I guess it would be POSSIBLE in THEORY to boot another recovery the same way we boot Clockwork, but you'd have to ask Eugene that.

Is there a download for the RA recovery for the slide I've been messin around with all this modding stuff since I got the phone and the only thing I haven't used is the amon_ra recovery. Can someone tell me how to use it thank you.

Not yet. The standard recovery loading clockwork as an update.zip is all we have so far.
But you can use ClockWork Rom Manager and install the recovery image for HTC Aria. It has a few more options than the normal update zip. Also clicking on Reboot into Recovery works with that recovery image and boot straight into it. Rom Manager is a paid program, but well worth the money.
Its really not that hard to root dude im 15 and i was use do the amon ra but after a while clockwork rooting is all about patience :] and it made me feel accomplished and if i remember correctly you had to change the spl for amon and that killed a few pplz g1s

Not true. The G1 bricks were caused by flashing the "danger" SPL before flashing the correct radio during the original root process. Also, the stock SPL on the G1 was read/write which allowed a custom recovery once rooted. HTC lately, for whatever reason, has decided to make their SPL's read only which is why we can't flash a recovery.
Hmmmmm yes I agree and well I guess I learned somethin new.

Does anyone know how to change the recovery img for when you boot into recovery? I had one installed from when I rooted my EVO, but using ROM Manager, it installed Clockwork (sp?) but I've heard that might not be a good one? Can anyone provide me steps to replace the recovery? Thanks.

If you choose flash alternate recovery in rom manager it should flash the amon ra recovery
For the record, there's nothing wrong with ClockworkMod, at least the current version. Don't let the rumors scare you. It wipes just fine in my experience (and others'). I find it better than Amon Ra if only for the reason that I can go back in the menus without having to push volume down+up at the same time.
Thanks. Yeah, I can't say personally I've had any issues with it, I was just going off of something I read. Thanks for the info, if I need to change it at least I know how to now.

The option for flash alternate recovery is grayed out. I can't select it. Any other ways to replace the recovery image??? Thanks.
-Slevin
Scratch that, I just had to restart after installing. Thanks anyway.

cans ome one tell me how to do it, i remeber trying a while back and it never worked, i mnight have made a mistake, i cant even find the threads for it, partially because i have a splitting headache and partially because it is so damn hot in my room i need to leave. please and thank you.
p.s. i did search for about 7 minutes, between the tempature and the fact that so much has the words clockwork and amon in it its just to much right now.
The easiest way is probably to download ROM Manager onto your phone. It may ask you to install ClockworkMOD again, but that's fine. Once that's done, scroll to the bottom of ROM Manager and select 'Flash Alternate Recovery' or something like that and that will install Amon_RA 1.8.0 onto your phone. Afterwards, you can remove ROM Manager since that only works with ClockworkMOD.
is there any noticable difference, and how will i know its done correctly i thought i tried this once...
mine says no alt. recovery available
Did ROM Manager ask you to flash ClockworkMOD again or no? At the very top of RM, you can try to install ClockworkMOD again and that might allow to you flash alternate recovery. Otherwise, here's the thread for Amon_RA 1.8.0.

im using the rom cm6.1.1 it had it on there already so no. however im going to restore to 6.1 because this rom is constantly rebooting itself and getting stuck in bootloops....****.
but yes ill let u no in a few minutes
i flahsed over to an old sense virus rom, i installed rom manager however it didnt ask to redownload clockwork, and i scrolled down to look at the flash alternative recovery, its still grey but this time it has amon ra 1.8 under it but still grey
I'm running CM7 with Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5. Im trying to flash the latest radio, so i need to flash back to a Clockworkmod 2.x.
But the thing is Rom manager already says my current recovery is 2.5.0.7. But when i actually reboot into recovery its definitely still 3.0.0.5. I've tried to flash all of the older versions of Clockworkmod available in Rom manager, and it says they flash correctly, and rom manager even reports that my clockworkmod version is the one i tried to flash. But when i reboot into recovery it hasnt changed.
Ive even tried to flash amon ra through rom manager and that did nothing.
I have "erase recovery" checked in settings. I tried to fix permissions. I've rebooted and even wiped data. Ive gone into market and uninstalled the updates to go back to rom manager 3.x but that didnt fix the problem. Ive wiped dalvik cache and that didnt work either.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
If not, does anyone have a link to a clockworkmod 2.x recovery.img so i can just manually flash it through fastboot? ive looked around everywhere but i cant seem to find one.
so i restored a really old backup of cm6 (which has rom manager 3.x), which i didnt even think was possible with CWM 3 and edify scripting, flashed amon ra in rom manager, and once i rebooted into recovery it was actually amon ra. i flashed the radio and all seems well. not sure why CM7 with rom manager 4 wouldnt correctly flash a recovery, but it seems resolved for me at least.
For future reference, it is just as easy and recommended to load amon RA via the bootloader as it is from the ROM Manager app.

whats really the difference between flashing through the bootloader, flashing through rom manager, flashing through fastboot, or flashing through the command line with flash_image?
Obviously rom manager has problems, thats what this whole post is about. But as long as it actually does the flash there shouldnt be difference between the different methods of flashing should there?
You basically answered the question. It's not that ROM Manager is incapable, there have been times when it failed to flash recovery and there have been times when it didn't contain the latest RA recovery. Yea, those things are minor, but it is enough for me to discard using it. Besides, I'm always in the recovery itself so it is only natural for me to do everything from within recovery or the bootloader. But, to each his or her own.

Can i ask why you prefer amon ra over clockwork mod? Does one offer an advantage over the other? Does RA support edify scripting?
I was a faithful ClockworkMod user when I first rooted my device. I had no problems and no intention to switch until around version 3.x.x.x. after that, I started having issues with it not wiping properly so I switched over to amon RA. Although those problems have since been corrected, I have become quite accustomed to amon RA and until it fails me, I will stick with it. Furthermore, there have been times when people's devices have failed to properly boot or wouldn't allow access to recovery until they flashed amon RA. I like its menu layout and how well it works, but that's just me...

My first question is, why does the Incredible need two recoveries? When I came from my other phone, Amon Ra was far superior to CWM and it appears the same with the Incredible, so why do the Devs design everything to work with CWM? Next question is what's the difference? They both are suppose to do wipes,flashes,backups,restores etc etc..so why would one work when dealing with certain ROMs and the other would not?

It dosen't need two, but choice is good.
There isnt much difference. Cwm is easier to navigate, and has a few more options than amon. Also cwm is needed for rom manager which is a pretty popular app.
Both amon and cwm should work with all roms or mods, but since most devs use cwm when building their mods and roms they sugest you use it too because that way they know it should work since thats their setup. I know the fresh roms for the evo require amon ra for their updater app.
Actually CWM is prevalent over AmonRa on the Incredible...that's why devs design for that. AmonRa is there, yes, but CWM is what (at least as far as I know, I could be wrong, I don't speak for anyone but myself) most people use. Just look at signatures. Most say their recovery is CWM 3.x or 5.x.
I see what you're saying. I never had luck with Rom Manager, and I did use CWM for a while but to me Amon Ra has more options and is way faster. I would think for noobs that CWM would be better. When I first rooted my first phone I used the crap out of Rom Manager lol. Now I don't use that app. Thanks for the input though.
