+1. I've had issues with clockwork but nine with amon. RA all the way I say.

ClockworkMod is really good, but when things go wrong, amon_RA is usually needed to right the wrong. Go with amon_RA.

RA has never failed me and it seems to be requested to use with the newer roms coming out ...

Your better off with RA because it works, clockwork is good after you get your wimax back up from RA ( yes clockwork backs it up too but the more the merrier) for its integration with rom manager making flashing and backing up very easy.

amon ra for sure.

I used Clockwork for a good number of months. It appeared good and I was able to rename along with a variety of other functions. I noticed something different after switching to Amon Ra. Everything seemed to back up and wipe better. Plus it partitions much better than clockwork. Go with Amon Ra and never turn back.

Download the PC36IMG.zip of Amon Ra and put it on the root of your SD card. Don't rename it. Turn the phone off, then hold the volume down and power buttons at the same time until the phone turns on to a white screen with Androids skateboarding. This is the bootloader. It will scan and detect the file - when it asks you to update, choose yes with the volume up button. When it asks you to reboot choose no, then choose recovery from the menu. You should boot into Amon Ra.
In the bootloader and recovery, you'll need to use the volume buttons to move up and down, then once you've highlighted what you want to do, press the power button to select it.

You learn more with ra. Its manual and ussualy makes no errors

Amon_ra, clockwork mod install.

Hey there, was wondering if the newer clockwork mod recovery would install the updated amon_ra? Or is the only way to get it in that annoying instruction thread where I feel like I'm being talked down to in the disclaimer?
Thanks!

I also have the Amon_ra on HD 004 and would like to use the new clockwork mod. I might give it a few days until all the bugs are worked out though seeing that alot of people are having problems
Do you have Rom Manager? I use it to switch between Clockwork and Amon Ra. You don't even have to power off the phone for the switch.
No I don't have It as of now, but 1 click of the a button I could.
But does the amon_ra that clockwork install have the new partitions? Anybody know?

So? Anybody know? This seems to be a huge oversight that could eff people's phones.

Your best bet is to download a copy of the modified Amon RA and only flash that one. Once you get the hang of flashing images it's simple to do.

What is up giys. So I need ur opinion on this one

So guys I need to your opinion i root my beautiful evo whit unrevoked3 and after I rooted I got Rom manager from the app store and I download the clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 but I been having some problems for example when I tried to put a Rom or a karnel (not always) I got a mssg saying that the action was aborted but 2day I say in the Rom manager that I can flash ra recovery v2.2.2 so here is my question should I put the ra recovery v2.2.2 or I should leave the clockworkmod and thnx in advanced &*)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You can have either or. if you're on clockwork 3.0+ you can't flash files that aren't edify compatible, on amon_ra you don't really have to worry about it. And if you do so, use the latest version, which is attached.
Can u tell me how flash that plz

I'm in agreement with the roxxorz. Use amon RA v2.3 and familiarize yourself with its menus. I recommend that you not use ROM manager because it is far too easy to to flash a Rom, kernel, mod or recovery from within the recovery itself. Furthermore, you have more control over the process....

Place the on the root of your sdcard, then boot into the bootloader, wait, then apply the update, reboot, then reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3. Then make a backup immediately, because you can't restore clockwork backups.

Put the file on the root of your SD CARD then shutdown your device. While holding the down volume button, press the power button. You will enter the bootloader menu. A few lines of text will scroll on the screen and then the bootloader will automatically detect the PC36IMG.ZIP file and prompt you to install it. Follow the prompts to install. The installation takes less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot.

He's saying you should be comfortable flashing from recovery because you can't flash everything, like a kernel, from rom manager.

If you using ra, at the very bottom soon as you boot to recovery it will say amon ra and version number. That's how you can tell.

You can install ROM Manager and flash CWM. You can also look around for the PC36IMG file for CWM.

I use amon. Cwm doesn't wipe cache and dalvik properly and can cause intermittent stability issues with the Rom even days later after flashing..

How do I get rom and kernel manager to use amon ra recovery instead of clockwork mod? Any help is appreciated

You don't. You learn how to flash a ROM/kernel via Among RA by reading one of a thousand tutorials on this forum. Use the search feature. That's what its there for.

Ok. I already have amon ra recovery. I have flashed many different things using it. I was merely wondering if you could make rom manager work with, since long ago I paid for the pro version. Thanks for the speedy replies and confirming.
