So my question is... I have Amon Ra Recovery 2.3 and I've heard that there have been updates but I have been unsuccessful in finding them. Am I losing my mind or is there an update somewhere that's been hidden from me... I hope someone has the answer for me.

No, the actual Amon Ra has not been updated since 2.3
There is Amon Ra style recovery that is someone else taking over the project and adding their own stuff.
Personally I suck with 2.3 it just works and there isn't much else I need from recovery.

Stick with 2.3. Stability is worth it compared to the risks of touchscreen etc. issues
Yes, I would agree. Ive used this version with no problems

So im runnin Clockwork custom recovery on my EVO and I hav read on several threads that using Amon RA is better. I would like to kno the reasons why and if I decide to change how would I go bout it? Please include any links in getting the Amon RA recovery and or procedures please...thanks!
Open Rom Manager and scroll down to select "Flash Alternate Recovery" clcik RA and thats it. Give it a whirl, you dont like it flash back to clockwork via Rom Manager (at top).
personally I use clockwork, only because it works with rom manager.....
I use amon ra, I had it on my moto cliq, then I had to use clockwork on my vibrant, now amon ra on my evo. I like it better. Its probably just personal preference but I have read that clockwork doesnt always do a good nandroid backup/restore, I never tried it though so im not certain. Like to guy above said, its real easy to switch back and forth though
Amon is easier to read, and its prettier.

Haven't used clock in a while but from what I remember it was more steps to get to certain things and the entire UI was a bit confusing to a new person. Now this is speaking from my hero days, lol so things may have changed!

It's preference, the general consensus that's misunderstood is that ra is better. This for me is only because my dev has nothing to do with clockwork therefore its rendered useless for me.besides updating ra recovery...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Personally, i have and do use both, and neither is better, as they do the same thing. The 1 advantage to amon_ra is that you can select the elements of your backup, so they can be smaller, where as clockwork backs up everything by default.

You can still download rom from it [if on premium version], flash alternate recovery, and boot into recovery if on amon_ra; the only thing you can't do it automatically backup the rom from there.
I've been using clockwork ever since I rooted my phone back in september, I want to switch to RA because I like it more from what I've read, but if I switch to RA, can I still use the backups I've made with clockwork

If I'm not mistaken, You should be able to with amon RA v2.3. Still, I'm sure you're going to make a backup as soon as you start using amon RA, right?...Hint Hint....

As far as I know, you can't. But in theory he could try, but I personally wouldn't recommend it, and yes, do make a backup as soon as you switch.

I do, but you can download rom manager and flash the latest version of it from there. let me know if you still need it.
Sorry in advance if this is a duplicate. I could not find the an answer on my own. ( go ahead call me a noob)
I have tried cm7 savaged zen and deck roms and at this moment it seems that I cannot flash my alternate recovery thru rommanager. Rommanager will show clockwork 3.0.0.5 but when i reboot to recovery it will still be Amon ra. rommanager is still working fine on sense roms. has anyone else experienced this issue. PLEASE Help.
Also I have noticed That the Rom pickings are becoming slimmer on Rom Manager, anyone have any insight into what is going on there. and is there something i should have known before paying for Premium. (just curious)

Same thing happened to me and allot of PPL you will need to flash the PC36IMG .ZIP of cwm but I suggest staying with ra its way better and just download ROMs from this site and flash them from recovery just my opinion.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Oh and not many dev put their ROMs on there because cwm has issues flashing allot of these new ROMs they use different scripts and cwm is known to not wipe properly when flashing I think I know I had issues with it and went to ra v2.3 and never looked back.

Thanks for you insight. I agree Amon ra is much better. been using it since you replied. Guess i was just afraid of change. i did enjoy the convience of rommanager. If i were to flash pc36img would that fix the problem at least temporarily and let me flash recovery back and forth

I've just always used ClockworkMod (and never had any problems), but always see people post that AmonRA is superior, but I haven't seen why? Is there really a big advantage of one over the other? Thanks!
The only time you would ever see an issue is when you have a problem. AmonRA eliminates ever having a recovery issue. Amon also has a couple more features that come in handy.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Neither is perfect, but Amon Ra tends to have less problems. That's not saying that no one has ever seen an issue with Amon Ra, but it's less likely. Amon Ra supports both edify and amend scripts where CWM only supports edify. I prefer the way Amon Ra is organized - the menus make more sense to me. I haven't used ClockworkMod since I first rooted my phone almost a year ago, so I can't tell you the difference in options. Back then, Amon Ra had more options, but I haven't seen the updates to ClockworkMod. Clockwork has been known to have some problems wiping properly as well.
If you're comfortable with CWM and have not had any problems, I see no reason to switch. I believe that Amon Ra is better, but that doesn't mean that I believe that everyone should use it. If you do have a problem, you'll know what to switch to. Or you can go ahead and switch now and see if you like it better.

I was never able to successfully update my radio, wimax, etc when I used cw. However, that was back in the 3.x days and I haven't messed with the latest version. Like the saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Well the version of cwm was broke at that time, therefore I switched to Amon-ra. I haven't had any complaints since. If you do switch, you'll need to make a new backup since the recoveries aren't compatible with each other. Good luck.

amon ra doesn't have advance restore data so thats a drawback..
FWIW, I've been using amonRa 1.80 since July '10, and I have never had a recovery problem or bad flash or bad wipe. And it flashes anything I throw at it.

I use amonra solely bc it has the wimax backup feature. Not sure if cwm has that but I got burned before not using amonra when I decided to fiddle with radio updates and lost 4g. Sorry if I went off topic but I vowed to myself to always use amonra and not kick myself in the ass again

I used to use clockworkmod until i read the "how to root for dummy's" thread and switched to amon ra. I have no idea why, i just did.
I did notice, however, that when I was using clockworkmod I would have to reflash a certain rom 2-3 times to stop it from berserking. Maybe it didn't wipe my data correctly? Who knows. But after switching to amon ra, I didn't have to relfash a rom. That scenario could have been caused by a completely different reason but I'm sticking with it.
try teamwin recovery

Amon Ra Build: RA-supersonic-v3.06-gnm
Not sure if I'm just not doing a correct nand backup or what, just started using Amon Ra. Everytime I restore I just go into a splash screen loop. Can't find a specific thread that answers this problem. I can just reflash original rom zip, but future nand restores would be nice to rely on. Any suggestions?
You can tell from my sig what I'm running. I have not flashed over any mods of any sort, or changed any system libs or binaries, unless implementing v6 supercharger counts as that.
You are better off upgrading to smelkus 4.3 its a more efficient ra recovery.

I never hear the end of this, so I'm about to push the f-it button and switch over.
Only thing that prevents me from doing so is my curiosity of the Synergy rom, really wanna try that baby.
Have read the best way to flash it is through Amon Ra, what do you think?
Ah, nevermind. It's saying Amon Ra is required to flash the God Mode, which I'm not about to do. The speed looks enticing, but I really just want a stable ROM that I can theme.
Does it specifically sway you can't use Smelkus to flash it? Because Smelkus is based on Amon Ra.
BTW, that ROM is pretty old, man.

My feelings exactly, it just got bumped and I noticed it. Now looking instead at Legendary Infamous... I have Sense fever, I know.
Switching over to Smelkus now.
