Hi guys!
I just rooted my Desire yesterday and started flashing like crazy.However,I'd like to know some things.
First off,I was used to AmonRA recovery with my Hero.Is ClockworkMod the same thing(function wise speaking)?
Secondly,is the backup/restore option the same as nandroid?
And finally,is it hard to have AmonRA on my Desire?
Thanks!

Hi
I'm an HTC Hero user trying to help my friend to root his Desire. I thought it should be exactly the same as with Hero but seems like there are some small differences get me confused.
1. I rooted the phone with unrevoked3. I'm used to AmonRA recovery and I cannot find nandroid backup in ClockworkMod recovery neither the SD format options. How do you backup the flash in ClockworkMod?
2. I downloaded the AmonRA image from here and tried to replaced the originally installed ClockworkMod but I can see no change in the recovery menu. Anything special should be done before changing the recovery?
3. Can you forward me to some Desire ROM comparison so I won't have to go through thousands of post to find the right ROM (I've already done it for my Hero, don't want spending so much time again).
Thanks.

clockworkmod does have a nandroid option, as you can see in the screenshot its 3rd from bottom!! there is also a quadrant rom comparison in the development section i think...
I've read something about backup&restore problems regarding the new CWM update. That if I backup my ROM with CWM 2.5.1.3 i won't be able to restore it with CWM 3.0.0.1?
But, what if i take the backup with CWM 3.0.0.5, and then try to restore my backup with the same CWM version, wouldn't that work? At least that is what I am trying to do, but after restoring i'm stuck at the white HTC letters in the startup.
The ROM i'm trying to restore is, as you probably understood, Revolution HD 2.0.11.
Is CWM 3.0.0.5 mainly for Gingerbread versions maybe?
BTW, this is my first post here, thanks to all developers ho work here! And sorry if my English isn't so good
Does anyone have a link for Amon Ra recovery 1.7.0.? for the DHD? I use this to make a backup when i first rooted my phone and clockwork wont restore these backups.
tries looking but i cannot find, only for the desire..

AFAIK Amon Ra recovery was never released on the DHD. I've had the phone from day one and after the struggles with root, the first recovery release was a version of CWM by Paul.
You sure you're not confusing this phone with the original Desire? You can't restore Desire backups on the HD if that is what you are attempting to do.
Regards.
maybe i am confused... my backup of the stock rom that came with my dhd is what i am trying to restore, i was sure it was made with amon ra but maybe i am wrong, and when i try to restore it gives an md5 mismatch.
i will give pauls original recovery a try.
thanks
Hey everybody,
I'm rooted for almost 4 months now. I only have one problem,
When I create a nandroid, all goes well, till restoring.
I get a USB-Brick and i can't use the nandroid. This is very annoying after doing a full wipe for another rom. I know it's caused by AmonRA.
I have version 2.0.0> upgrading tot 2.0.1, will that help
And can I do that without S-offing my phone.
I can't use CWM as I have a PVT4 SLCD Desire.
I really don't want to s-off yet.
Any help?
Hi, i have the pv4t w/ slcd, too
Cwm worked to root, then applied the alpharev from bootable CD to s-off. Nandroid backups work 100% safe untilled now.

Thanks but as i mentioned before i don't want to s-off yet.
I don't have any problems without s-off it's just titanium backup takes me ages because i have too many apps and nandroids are much easier but i'll think about it. No other solutions?
Hi Guys,
I Rooted my HTC Desire using Unrevoked Here
http://androidforums.com/desire-all...nrevoked-windows-updated-20th-may-2011-a.html
after that I saw AR-Recovery (via recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1.img) and there I created a Nandroid Backup. After creating a backup I saw Nandroid folder made in my SD card with backup inside.
Last night I S-OFF my HTC desire using AphaRev 1.08 and when it asked to isntall CWM Recovery during process, I replied YES..
Now I have CWM Recovery, when I go to it to restore my ROM, it cant locate and use my Previouis backups created with AR-Recovery.
Any Way I can restore those backups since I had lots of applications and settings done with that and I cant go through the whole process from Zero again....
And If I restore the backups when I created before S-OFF, will that turn my Phone S-ON again?
Well, you can flash AmonRa via Fastboot Commander.
Or with unrevoked V3.21

I dont know why ppl are mad about CWM Recovery?
I would love to flash AmonRA Recovery.. its just amazing... creates and restores backup so quick.. CWM takes so much time... But still I will install CWM recovery because it ahs become universal recovery
Is there any way I can one time Restore my backup restored with AmonRA recov ery without flashing it? Like some Fastboot stuff..?

This issue is intimately tied to the inner workings of the recoveries which are obviously different. I don't believe that it's a good idea to restore backups made with a different recovery.
If you restore an amonra backup with clockworkmod or reverse, you will get an usb brick.
