why would you want amon ra when you do not want root? you need to do the whole root process to use amon ra, even if you later intent to unroot your phone.

you cant flash a custom recovery without rooting, and like the other guy said, a custom recovery would be pointless anyway if you didnt have root access lol
well, I don't want to unlock it coz maybe some feature lost and I'm really not comfotable for rooting...what's in ur mind about my problem guy ??!!!!!

You don't have to unlock the phone to install a custom ROM (assuming you mean SIM lock), but when we talk about rooting here, we really mean two things:
1. The ability to run a custom recovery.
2. The ability to gain superuser access (su to root) in an installed ROM.
Since you want to install a custom recovery, you have to root in order to do so. However, you could still install a stock ROM which didn't have su access (though it would be largely pointless to do so).
As has been previously asked, why do you want to install Amon Ra?

Dave

Uninstall your old rom manager because it doesnt support g2, download the new one, flash clockwork mod-select g2 as your device- wait for it to download and flash he recovery. Btw i would suggest you click fix permissions first before doing any of that

just like others said, make sure you have the latest rom manager (i believe its v2.5.0.7). are you seeing a "G2" option when you click flash clockwork recovery?
clockwork mod for noob
I finaly decide to root my G2( and S-Off ). So I use CyanogenWiki procedure without section about Flashing the Engineering HBoot with is denger and optional.Next I was uninstall no need stock soft (mp3 amazon finance or listen).Today I try to backup everything with clockwork mod.
1. Is the procedure with ROM Manager safe?
2.Do i need to do something else after geting perma root and s-off to install clockwork mod ? (still don't know what for is Engineering HBoot)
3. After instaling clockwork mod or after rooting I will stop geting official updates ?
4. Do i have to buy a prem version of ROM Manager or free market version will do the job ?
5. How to flash clockwork v3 and is there reason to do that ?

Lots of q's
Ok
1.Clockwork mod is very safe
2.No. If you have Perma-rooted your phone you are good to go
3.After installing it you can receive OTA updates if you are using STOCK rom
but its best to not update via OTA at risk of losing root. I was already had
temp root when we got the OTA in US and I had no problem but be warned
4.The free version is fine. But its always good to buy the paid version for added benefits and to help dev out

Sometimes it takes a couple of times before recovery sticks, so if you get the red triangle just reflash the recovery again untill it sticks.

Eng. Hboot is not required to flash a custom rom, but obviously perm-root is. Im guessing you got that quote "Perm Root with hboot-eng.....is needed to flash a custom ROM (still REQUIRED for the moment)" from the CM7 Nightly thread, but there is a way to flash CWM3 without an ENG. Hboot ( it requires terminal emulator) and also the CM7 nightly rom.
Any idea how to install CM7 from stock less risky way then hboot ? How about flashing CM 6 and upgrading to 7 ?

If the HBOOT required comment was for just CWM3, then there are guides already out there (including one stickied in this forum):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900460
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902493
Then just use CWM3 to flash CM7 like normal...
Absolutly right. Thx for links. Am a noob.

Sorry for noob question but is it possible to do this? If not how would I restore my Desire HD to the official Rom after installing a custom one?

You can back it up in the clockworldmod recovery in the ''backup & restore'' option.
actually depends of the version i think... because the newer versions are rootable only via downgrade. so to be able to install custom recovery aka clockworkmod/4ext, you need to downgrade first. in which case, you cant.
it may be possible to downgrade, root, flash cwm/4ext, flash newer stock, all without wipe, and then backup, but this is just a guess, i havent tied it, since 1st thing i have done when i got my phone i rooted it
edit: this was a guess since i understood you want to keep data
if you dont care about data, of course it is possible. but unrooting is something a bit different, still very doable
yes, with clockworldmod and ext4 and remember after you backed up your rom copy the clockworldmod/ext4 folder to your pc
Hi i have a question.
I would like install a ICS on my desire z, but how can i install a cwm without unlocking my device by htcdev.com?
best way to get s-off and root is the wiki guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
part of it is how to install cwm recovery
This is the best that I have seen. IF you follow the directions you will have this done without hassle. I am so much a noob and I was able to root and s-off my g2 in less than two hours. I did my wifes phone in about an hour.
Thanks i will try it.
Homever can i install just cwm for flash any ics' rom or i must root my pda too?

U have to root to install cwm
does the galaxy W need to be rooted to flash with ODIN or it does not need to be.
for example i can just flash CWM and then install CM9 without root and I'll be ok.

ODIN is to be use on standard updates on stock ROM. Normally you can get it through www.sammobile.com/firmware/
Root ROM like CM9 by Arco and others variation such as Paranoid Android by Doomsday94 must be on rooted phone. This link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317394) will helps you how to root. I suggest you read through these steps.
you didn't understand what i meant what i meant does the stock ROM need to be rooted to flash CWM via odin or not

You seems to be new here. He's answer was right but since you cannot relate to what he said, the simple answer for your question is
"No."
If you have more question, follow them up.
My question was not how to root but in short does odin need root to be used or not

Anything on a computer has full access to android devices. So odin and other apps like that for computers will be able to do anything to your device if it reqiures download mode. Download mode is basicly rhe first piece of already rooted (you could say) equiptment on a phone that anyone could access.

Odin does not need root. It's a standard software from Samsung to updates/upgrade/downgrade stock ROM or even flash baseband (upgrade/downgrade). But in order to use ODIN, your phone must be on download mode.
I hope this is simple enough for you to try. Again, please read my first post comments.

I've been trying to figure out what you really mean but I really don't understand.
In one way or another, you will be needing both root and CWM if you're to use your phone to the fullest. I strongly suggest to do the two things.
i suppose your question was "do you need root before flashing CWM with ODIN?"
i think you can flash it (CWM recovery) without rooting, but on the other hand, CWM might need root access before it can work on your phone.

I think what this guy meant was: If I'm not rooted, but can flash CWM using ODIN, what's the purpose of rooting?
Assuming I translated his question correctly, here's my answer :
Flashing a recovery (RZR, CWM) or a ROM (BC2, Kez, BN, ArcoICS) is like installing Windows 7 on a PC: You don't need to know the password of the Administrator account of the previous OS; just boot the Setup DVD, and it has full unfettered access to the whole PC.
Rooting a phone is unlocking its capability. It's like resetting the administrator password of a PC, so that you can install things on it.

Guys,
I installed the CWM before rooting, is it a problem? How can I root my phone with CWM already installed? I am having some problems with Cyanonmod 10, for exemple, I can't take pictures because it says that there's no external SD Card installed what isn't true.

Short answer: no. its not a problem. You can root your phone with cwm installed. It wont affect anything. And if you want root then just search it up.
Secondly, about CM10.1, its still in alpha.(bugs like that are always probable) Dont report it here. Report it in the CM10 thread. Its bound to get noticed more there and fixed quicker there.
That's right, I'm the premium potaytoman and i seek the TROOOOOF! Problem?

Ok, So I sucsessfully rooted, and Romed my HTC One.
I couldnt figure outhow to install a custom recovery, but I saw something when Googleing, using ADB to push a recovery. Anyway, I downloaded the CWM Recovery because it is what they had on their site. Is there a way I can change it to TWRP Without using a PC?
Thanks for the help!
nd one last Question, if I JUST want root, nothing more, just to take advantage of root apps but do not want to flash any roms, or anything like that, what exactly are my steps? o i still need S-Off?

I would use twrp instead because CWM has too many know issues. I'm pretty sure you can flash twrp right over CWM but not positive. If you just S-off'd and are still stock then you are good. This is the only way to have root on stock.
