Okay so i have a question about switch from clockworkmod to amonra. How would I go about doing this without rom manager and not using the adb method. Could I flash it through my existing clockwork mod recovery? Or do i HAVE to do it through fastboot?
This is another random question,
Which do you think is better cm6.1 with snap8.x( x being whatever version)
or cm6 with snap7.6BFS?
I don't know about fastboot, but I tried to flashing it through clockworkmod recovery and it's not working..

Flashing through recovery? I don't think that could be done. You can only do ADB, ROM Manager, Fastboot, or flashing as a PC36IMG.zip in hboot.
As for the kernels, stick with stock on CM 6.1. Snap 8 was designed for CM6, as was Snap 7. Besides, CM 6.1 nightly (and I think RC2) is running the .35 kernel, which is what Snap 9 will be based off of.
Okay thanks I get it now.
i am trying to find the amonra recovery, so i can partition my sd card.. can someone point me in the right direction? maybe some quick notes on how to flash it?
Do a search for the Amon Ra PC36IMG.zip in the dev section, put it on the root of your SDCard, boot into Hboot (vol-down & Power button).
Wait for the scan to fond the file and when it asks if you want to update, do yes, and it will flash Amon Ra onto your Phone, then you cna boot up into recovery.
Prett yeasy actually.
just make sure the file is named EXACTLY PC36IMG.zip

Yes, you should always remove pc36img files after installing them. That way you don't run into any complications later if you try to use another file of the same sort, such as a splash screen or something.

Tell ya what I do;
I have a folder on my SDCard I named XDA, and then I have subfolders for ROMS, Kernels, Themes, Apps, and Utilities. I'd rename the Amon Ra file PC36IMG_amon ra.zip and move it into a folder on your SDCard so you always have it relatively handy, then you just drop the amon_ra part and move it to your root again, if you need it.
I have the same thing with the RUU for my phone

I never thought of that, great idea. I think I'll try doing that. I kind of do the same with my splash screens. I'll have a few on my phone at one time and once I install, I'll rename it with a description as to what it is so I don't forget. I also do the same with my boot animations, at least the ones that aren't flashable. I just never thought about making a folder. Now I can't wait to get home and re-organize my card.
Thanks for the pointer! The teacher has been schooled, lmao

You can remove it or just rename it, cuz if its named PC36IMG, it'll scan and be detected every time you go to the bootloader, so its your preference.

good idea but, that will take up some space on your sd card, depending on how many roms you have on there, including themes, splash screens, recoveries, radios, so on and so forth, what i did is the same thing but on my pc, i have plenty of storage on my pc, and that way keep room on my sd card for music, pictures, videos, and whatever else. so if i need any roms or recoveries, splashes, bootanimations, themes, or whatever, they are on my pc, all catagorized and in corresponding folders.
and also if you dont have the room on your pc, it is posted here and able to find with search key. lol

This is probably a real dumb question, but just to be sure I figured I'd ask...
I am using the Amon Ra recovery.. ..however, I first started w/ Clockwork after rooting.. ..can I safely delete "clockworkmod" directory from my phone? I guess I'm asking because I don't see an AmonRa directory and just wanted to make sure my new recovery wasn't just leeching whatever it needed from my Clockwork directory.
Actually.. ..while I'm in this line of questioning.. ..what exactly is either one of these programs for? Just an interface to flash ROMs and other mods from?
I want to know this also because I'm done with CWM.

Yes you can delete it as long as you don't want the backups from it anymore ra backups will be in a new folder called nandriod .

Also your backups from cwm won't work on ra you can restore them on cwm then switch to ra and make a new one from there just go back and fourth till you have them all on ra this is what I did when I switched way back when.

They are recoveries. They do just that, allow for recovery. A safe place to mess with your Operating System (aka "ROM") without the actual O.S. running.
Mainly used for making backups, wiping, and flashing new ROMs. A nice front end to doing these things, instead of having to use the command line and having to type everything out.
Just wonderin, when I flash a zip file from the SD, like for a font or app or somethig,... is there a reason to keep the zip file on my SD card or can I delete it and still use the font/whatever I installed off of it??.. Prolly a stupid question but I figure someone here can answer it pretty easily, thanks

Once it's flashed, you can delete it with no ill effects.

Agreed. Feel free to get rid of it. In the case of roms, though I usually leave a known good PC136IMG.ZIP on the root of my card, just in case.
This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
Yeah, I was thinkin it might be a good idea to leave a kernel and ROM on there JIC... But there's a lot of font packs and app zips I can get rid of... thanks
Are you using a custom recovery? That is, Clockwork or Amon RA.
This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
Yeah, I use Amon Ra for backups.... Sometimes I switch back to clockwork so I can use ROM manager though..

I believe you have to flash whichever one you wish to use.

It's easy if you have ROM manager just go in and click "flash Alternative Recovery".. that will change you to Amon ra... then when you're ready to go back go back into ROM manager and click "Flash lastest ClockWork Mod" (or something like that) and you're back to clockwork.... takes all of about 2 secs
So, I've made a backup of my ROM previously before through ClockworkMod Recovery. What I was wondering, is there a way to open/browse these on one's PC? I've tried various software (WinRAR, DaemonTools, etc.) and can't open/browse it. Does anybody know of a way I can browse one of the recovery images?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Backups are images of your rom and I don't think there is a tool for opening those types of images I could be wrong..... you might go to Koush's website and ask him he created clockwork you can find him in twitter to
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well I assume its similar to the way something like Acronis or Ghost works, as in imaging the entire system (in this case, each section [system, data, etc]). I'll look into getting a hold of him... thanks.
Reason I ask is because I would like to pull just a few files from my old backup image, and not necessarily restore the whole thing. I guess I could backup my current config, restore the old backup, take the files off that I need, and then restore back to my current image.. but that would take effort .
Sounds like something that could possibly be done with titanium backup?

Can Titanium Backup open .img files created by ClockworkMod Recovery? I haven't seen a setting in there to be able to do that.

Well I've done that... I've tried MagicISO which is one of the more recommended programs to open .IMG files, but it fails to open the android backup .img. I guess I can research it a bit more...
You can copy the system and boot .img files from the backups folder and use dsixda's kitchen to import them. It will create a working folder that has the apk's etc in it. Not as easy as just copying them to the PC and browsing them but will do what you ask

The kitchen is I great tool to have I know you were looking for something easy but if you take the time to set it up its worth it..... follow nilsp link and checkit out...

You can use Titanium Backup Pro to extract the backup file. go to the main menue (i can do that by tapping the menue button of my Galaxy S2)...there choose Extract from Nandroid Backup....You will figure out the rest.
You can also use an app called Nandroid Browser....
Any idea why ?
When i tell rom manager to install a recovery it shows as if it's doing it. But then when I reboot in to it, it's still the same (right now i have Amon)
I've seen people have this problem before. I've never used Rom Manager so I haven't experienced it, but I've helped others with the same issue.
Since you're on Amon Ra, I'm assuming you're trying to flash ClockworkMod? If so you'll need to get a PC36IMG of CWM and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into the bootloader - you can use an app to do this or you can do it manually. To do so manually, power down the phone. Then hold the volume down and power buttons at the same time until you see the bootloader. It will ask you to update, choose yes (volume up) when it asks you to update.
Ta-da! You're done.
Here's a PC36IMG of CWM, I'm not sure the exact version as it's only there if someone else needs it, but it is 3.x --

Also, out of curiosity, why are you switching?
I had to use ra for the radios update.
I had to load it manually too. I wish I could find why its not working
If you on amon_ra, I don't believe rom manager will work.

Stay on RA and flash thru recovery and learn how to use those tools. It will help you out in the long run...Some how some way
Why would you want to go from AR to CWM?? To me, that's a downgrade
Because I can batch a few zips easily....
I had that same problem but I did use the above post to go back but now I use ra its way better the only good thing about cwm is you can name your backups but I just back them up to my PC anyway and name them just incase my sd card gets fried.

You can name them on your SDCard.
Just do it like this: BDEARS-20110605-1956-mik_101_full
Notice, no spaces, and the original name still in there.

You can do that and restore them like that or do you have to delete the name first cause that would be awesome I thought it wouldn't work if you renamed it.
Also can you use any name or does it have to be the name of the ROM it is of?

Hi, I'm a complete newb to rooting Android phones, so I'd like to apologize in advance. I current;y have a Galaxy S2 SGH-T989, and I wanted to flash some custom ROMS onto it. I have just rooted my phone (after many painstaking hours) and am now atempting to install superuser, which didn't come with the root. When I open clockworkmod, it cant detect the .zip file containing superuser. HOWEVER, once I moved the .zip to a subfolder (DCIM), clocworkmod could detect it, bit could not finish installation and aborted. Any tips on how to make it see it under the main directory? Or how to tell it to complete installation?
R u putting it on the external sd?

It has to be on the root of the sd
Sometimes it takes a few times for it to stick ...
Put su in external sd, flash you will Get a error then do nandroid backup and then restore
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using XDA
OK this is what u got to do... when on computer and u are dragging the su zip over to your sdcard. (Has to be external) make sure u are not sticking it in a directory ( or sub folder) just drag it and pretty much drop it under the folders make sure it does not go into any of the folders like I said. Then u should see the su zip . Now when u go into clock work mod go to install from sdcard (make sure u choose external) find the zip....again it shouldn't be in any directories (folders). Flash it it might error out....but do not leave cwm stay in there and reflash it until it says it installed correctly. Should take two or three times. Then boot up u will see su in app folder. Go to market. Dl busy box. Install it then go into app and install busy box. Now u are good to go. Also after all that is said and done go back into recovery and go to backup and restore and choose backup. Now u will have a backup of rooted stock rom in case something happens on custom rom u can always revert back to ur backup.........also did u install recovery thru Odin? U had to because rom manager needs root....anyways if u flashed recovery (cwm) thru Odin. I don't think u technically need to root. U can just flash any custom from (there all rooted). The reason y don't have to root is because unlike from manager which needs root first to install recovery. Odin didn't thus this is why u technically don't need to root if u want to tho do it and remember always make a backup! Before flashing custom roms !
Thanks for all the replies, but I have one problem,I don't have an external sd card. Us there any way around this?
