If it is doing what you want and you're not having problems with it, then don't fix what isn't broken......but if you're curious to see the changes, go ahead. Use the ROM Manager app to effortlessly switch back and forth between the two.

Cwm 3.0+ does not support amend scripting. Just stay with what u got or switch to amon_ra

Amend scritping it what?

ROMs/kernels are built on either Edify or Amend scripting. Lots of things are still Amend, so keep your current one or move to Amon RA. Just my advice.

+1 to amon ra2.3

Recovery questions?

Currently i use amon ra's latest recovery on my phone. Im running myns rom and have no problems at all.
I do however want to run the ps3 psfmod recovery on my phone. Now i know i can flash this recovery and jailbreak my ps3, whats the fastest way to switch back to amon ra's recovery after this?
I know amon ra has a recovery image for another android phone which has the psfmod built in, but what would be my best bet, other then using flash_image via adb?
ijsut use the kernel version and reflash my kernel once done. it seems way easier to me
Is there. a link to the kernel? The guy released a update but its a .img recovery file

Mind if I ask is that a full jailbreak and what are the risks? I would suggest getting a used ps3 off craigslist to test it out on cause you might get banned from psn forever.

[Q] Should I update CWRecovery from 2.6.0.1?

I'm getting prompted in ROM Manager that version 3.0.0.5 is available, but I remember when it first came out it wouldn't let people go into recovery or update their roms/flash ZIP files. Is it safe now? I've been holding out for a while out of fear.
Also, anything new or better from 3.0.0.5 that I'm missing out on?
3.0+ Has faster backups, and updated for the most part, and most important, its running on edify. Not a lot of people are using edify packaging, but if you wanted to use CM7, you have to use CWM 3.0+ or amon_ra recovery.
So if you don't plan on using CM7, staying where you are at is fine.

I already have CM7, but I'm still on 2.6, not 3. So does that mean I should update?
To minimize the possibilities of errors, I would update.
I use 2.5.0.7 and cm7. runs fine, I refuse 3x because it won't touch amend while 2x will still

Issue flashing anything in recovery

Running Myn's warm point 2. Flashed fine months ago. Used rom manager to do so. Now I updated the Clockwork mod in rom mangager to 3.05 (something close). Since I've updated I get this message if I try to flash ANYTHING.
Installing update....
Amend scripting (update script) is no longer supported
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading the clockwork mod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Update aborted.
WTF do I do???

You have to downgrade to an older version of CWM, as 3.0+ doesn't support amend scripting [the error you got,] or flash amon_ra 2.3.
CWM 3.0+ only supports edify scripting and most devs/themers/ect will specify if its edify compatible.
the problem is cwm 3.0 and up doesnt support the scripts that me and a bunch of real devs use. flash amon-ra recovery for many added benifits, including being able to read both amend (old) and edify (new) scripting, and wiping dalvik cache correctly which cwm doesnt do. its worth it. you wont be able to control it through rom manager, but thats not really a big deal.
edit: didnt notice teh roxxorz's post ^^^. we said pretty much the same things.
double edit: WOW how did you get so many thanks?!?!?! you must be helpful
Check your pm. Oh yeah, live and die by amon

How can i upate clockwork mod to the edify scrit?

ive been researching how to do it and i havent found a clue to do it im trying to install a infected rom and it wont do it because i nee to update to the edifiy script but i have no clue to to do it... can someone please tell me what i have to do my current kings rom is relly bad for some reason
Clockworkmod took out Edify scripting a while ago. You can roll back to a previous version that has it though. I don't know much about ClockworkMod, because it was unstable as hell and didn't wipe correctly.
I would suggest ditching ROM Manager and ClockworkMod, and come over to the AmonRa world. Much more stable, and has both Edify and Amend scripting.
If you want ClockworkMod for whatever reason, use 2.5.1.2 or below. 3.x.x lacks Amend.

You have to switch to amon ra because the files use amend scripting, which clockwork 3.0+ doesn't support. You can find the amon_ra thread in the development section with instructions on how to flash it. Also you'll have to make a new backup because amon can't restore cwm backups, and vice versa.
You can find info on Amon_RA here.

sorry to ask again ....
what difference with Armon cwm?
What immediately install it?
Does it work the same way as cwm?
So far I used to use cwm
Which version of Clockworkmod are you using? There is a custom version that comes with the Revolutionary Root that I am not familiar with but you should still be ok with Amon RA.
Amon RA is similar to Clockworkmod but a little different. For one it still sopports amend scripting which you need for these files. The operation of the recovery is very similar so you should still be able to find your way around.
The install instructions are in the first post of the thread I pointed you to. I used the Bootloader method. You download the PC36IMG.zip and save it in the root of your SD Card and then power it down. Turn it back on with the power button while holding Vol Down.
Once you have switched to Amon RA you will be able to do everything that you did before with clockworkmod.
the problem is solved
thanks for everything
