Hi friends!
Please, can anyone tell me what recovery image is the most advanced by now for HTC Desire (HBOOT .83). I mean which recovery is pimped with all that useful features that exist right now. Thank you.
Sorry to create this topic, but can't find...
I would like this question answering too.
I've always preferred the AmonRA recovery port personally, though some people will recommend ClockworkMod as well. Both can be flashed permanently through unrevoked so there's no need to keep a zip file on the SD card all the time. Why not try both of them out and decide for yourself? They're both pretty equal
Unrevoked : http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ (installs ClockworkMod recovery by default but you can choose what you want before plugging the phone in)
AmonRA recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=721792
I've also seen some recoveries with PSFreedom built in but I guess that's only useful if you've got a PS3.
Moved to Q&A. Please do not post question threads in the Development forum.

Thanks for your reply!
You know, actually, I already used RA and Clockworkmod.
Right now I prefer RA, cause Clockwork's doesn't have proper implementation to work with ext-file system. So... it's seems to me that RA is more complex.
Clockwork does a bit more when used with ROM Manager I think. All depends on if you want to do things within Android or the old skool way
I was wondering if I could install a ROM from emmc. I think that one of my friends took my SD card out of my phone and I'm trying to flash it back to CM6 from the Desire HD ROM.
I have Clockwork 2.5.0.5 on the phone right now and it seems like there isn't an option for this. Is there any recovery that would allow me to flash a ROM from NAND?
Thanks.
Hi friends,i have got a really sirious problem.first of all i wanted a phone without low storage problem.so that i rootet my phone (0.93) and install a custom rom with clockwork mod.but my problem didnt end.and i heard that we must partiton to our sd card.and my clockwork recovery's screen has got no "Partition" menu.And i tried to flash RA recovery.but i couldn't now i can't enter and see my clockwork recovery or etc... i can only open phone and use it. but i wanna to setup clockwork last version(because it is avaible to partition max:4gb i heard that) and i wanna use my phone after solve the problem...please help me
Try rooting again. Why could you not flash amon ra recovery true unrevoked? Open unrevoked en select custom image and then amon ra.
This should help you partition your Micro SD:

My first question is, why does the Incredible need two recoveries? When I came from my other phone, Amon Ra was far superior to CWM and it appears the same with the Incredible, so why do the Devs design everything to work with CWM? Next question is what's the difference? They both are suppose to do wipes,flashes,backups,restores etc etc..so why would one work when dealing with certain ROMs and the other would not?

It dosen't need two, but choice is good.
There isnt much difference. Cwm is easier to navigate, and has a few more options than amon. Also cwm is needed for rom manager which is a pretty popular app.
Both amon and cwm should work with all roms or mods, but since most devs use cwm when building their mods and roms they sugest you use it too because that way they know it should work since thats their setup. I know the fresh roms for the evo require amon ra for their updater app.
Actually CWM is prevalent over AmonRa on the Incredible...that's why devs design for that. AmonRa is there, yes, but CWM is what (at least as far as I know, I could be wrong, I don't speak for anyone but myself) most people use. Just look at signatures. Most say their recovery is CWM 3.x or 5.x.
I see what you're saying. I never had luck with Rom Manager, and I did use CWM for a while but to me Amon Ra has more options and is way faster. I would think for noobs that CWM would be better. When I first rooted my first phone I used the crap out of Rom Manager lol. Now I don't use that app. Thanks for the input though.
issue has been SOLVED thanks lo2ay
seems a clear head works wonders.
Ok this is gonna take some explaining which i will try my best to do, hopefully somebody can point out my error or solution.
Today i thought id go back to sense rom (doesnt matter which as i will explain) mtds all reset back to stock p wilfredfire or whatever your called lol) full fresh wipes and temp 2.5 cwm flashed (i dont use rom manager, its deleted from my roms) so temp cwm recovery 2.5 boots and the 1st strange thing occurs... The screen menus are all split in half! Eg have you ever taken a screenshot and found it split in half? Well thats what my menu options look like! On each option selected via up/down using vol key it changes to normal, split, normal split etc etc same in sub menus too.
So i just get on with things and try to flash sense rom....... Now i get some error, something to do with 1.sysE sdext not found? 2.chown xbin a2sd? 3.maybe something else cant read it as its all shown on the split screen lol.
Ive installed permanent 2.5 cwm and get same errors but not split screen issues?
Now ive never had this problem before but i have changed my sdcard and it has a 1gb partition which is only ever used for on sense roms and is partitioned from cwm 5.0.2.8 version just like my previous sdcard was.
I have 2 theories as too whats going on but not convinced.
1. Maybe my sdcard is ****e and it wasnt the sdcard i used to s-off with!! Does a new sdcard need to be goldcarded? I really dont think this is the issue.
2. I was having issues with some data/app duplication files from external roms which i used a while back. I fixed these issues by deleting all found existing files containing a2sd wording but i cant recall the paths of them eg. Some from etc/init'd but also others from outside of system folder! Maybe sys and others too but it was a while back and been on lewa for so long without any issues regarding this problem.
So is it possible ive deleted some file that is not recreated with a fresh rom install? Eg its a phone file that remains no matter what rom or cwm used?
This is only happening when im trying to flash roms/restores that dont require edify i.e 2.5 cwm needed and when im back using cwm 5.0.2.8 all roms and restores are fine. even rempuzzle which is sense but doesnt require using 2.5.
So im stumped as i can flash a sense rom but not older sense roms via temp or permanent 2.5 cwm, its nothing to do with my mtd, if it was a permanent file i deleted then it should be consistent across all roms/cwm but isnt. Ive changed sdcards lots of times but they have been used as goldcards in the past where my new one has not?
Ive tried rom manager too, still get split screen and same errors!?
Tricky one eh!! Lol.

Maybe your cwm zip got corrupted..

Was my first thought, too (but I guess you already checked this?)
Indeed a tricky one. For the sd card guess: nah, I've dropped my stock 2 gb (I made the gold card with) for a 8 gb class 4 and later on for a 8 gb class 10 and never had any issues.
Regarding a missing "permanent" file: I'd also doubt this as such a file should be damaged or deleted in many other cases, too (flashing/formatting/factory resets/partitioning etc), at least once in a while. I'm quite sure this would happen more often, at least.
I also thought it could be a problem with the display driver but I don't know enough about the hard- and software to say it could...
Is rempuzzle still froyo or already gb?
If it has to do with leftovers or missing stuff I'd more likely guess that something with the different cwm versions has been messed up. But like I said: I don't really know enough about it.

I'm also having the same issue,i used rom manager to get temp. 2.5 recovery to flash the radio, and got split screen. i flashed it anyway successfully.
This might sound noobish, but i think mokee os and a few foreign roms are to blame (roms from the same source you got mokee).
I'm saying this because it all started when i reverted back to cm9 from mokee and few of those foreign ones.
just sharing my experience, i might be wrong coz I'm not technically sound as you ppl are.

I've had that split screen before, it happened to me when my permanent recovery was 5.0.2.8
and temporary was 5.0.2.0
any older temp recovery with 5.0.2.8 as permanent will make this bug. But everything is working tho.
That's a tricky one indeed

Its a good point you make, as it could well be that but that would mean that one of the external roms we used has a bogus file sticking after full wipes and rom changes?? I cant see it being that but maybe wrong?

Mmmm so cwm 5028 perm is the split screen cause you say? Will go install 5020 and test.
Forum fishing.... Who's biting!
lo2ay i think i love you man. solved.
and heres how.............
unzipped a pc49img.zip and put in recoveryimg of 5.0.2.0 booted into bootloader and ran the update. rebooted then booted into recovery 5.0.2.0 wiped all and flashed temp 2.5 ( woo woo all full screen) flashed wildpuzzle (woo woo no errors)
SO CONCLUSION IS THAT CWM 5.0.2.8 IS MISSING SOMETHING NEEDED FOR OLDER EDIFY ROM INSTALLS EVEN WHEN USING THE TEMP 2.5 CWM.
I JUST REMEMBERED TOO that in the past i was on 5.0.2.0 and not 5.0.2.8 so i dont know why i started using the 5.0.2.8 anyway ??? well that has now found its way to the recycle bin lol.
so simple in the end lol.
many thanks to lo2ay for sending me in the right direction. xxxxxxxx lol
Glad I helped

Did you get the other issue resolved? That chown etc error?
The error came because of the following.
1. You flashed CM rom from sense, you had MTD (For example 135 & 5)
2. This will install system partition and data partition for this MTD
3. Now you decide to go back to sense. and flashed MTD (250 40)
4. Even though you flash this MTD bravo file, your sense rom cant fit into your 135 system partition the 250 partition will be written only on boot of your ROM. Before that sense ROM must be written into your system
5. So error will come throwing all nonsense on the screen like chown error etc
6. How to solve this??
Flash a CM rom with MTD as 250 and 40 MTD. Once your ROM is on, check you have 175Mb as total memory, not more than that in your storage setting
7. Now flash a sense rom booting into recovery.. viola no errors
I guess it worked for you because you got fed up and flashed a CM rom over 250 40 MTD
and then flashed this recovery problem and then turned to sense..
At that point, no issues with system partition and wildpuzzle would have fitted correctly
Am i right???

Yes and no ? My mtds had been reset then flashed cm to confirm.so in theory I was all ready to flash sense as partition was showing the size at 250 40 but must have been a false reading! I know exactly what your saying and it makes sense,I triple reset my mtds but obviously something stuck somewhere lol.I've done this 100s of time but like I've said it was always with cwm 5.0.2.0 not 5.0.2.8 which I can't understand why or when I was using this version. I pre edit my roms and normally have a universal mtd setting that is acceptable for any of my roms I flash so its gotta be the cwm. its all fixed now with a clean cwm.cheers though.

Do you have the off charge bug with 5.0.2.0? That´s the reason I have 5.0.2.8 instead.
