I want to run ics, and am doing a nandroid before I do. But the damn thing keeps stopping/freezing with .odex files while doing the backup
What is going on, any suggestions?
Which recovery are you using?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
cwm 5.5.0.4
it had always worked before....
I tried CWM on my Rezound too. It would also freeze on backup. If I were you I'd switch to Amon Ra. It even has the option to restore a CWM backup. However I can't verify that that feature works.

On your Rezound or Dinc? Cuz everything I've read said to use Amon Ra on the Rezound since CWM was buggy on it.
+1 for Amon Ra recovery. Was able to easily take a full backup, compressed an all. I came from Clockwork on my OG droid but Amon Ra functions/looks pretty much the same as far as I could tell.
I didnt root my dinc, this rezound is my first rooted phone. I got it to work last night I turned of wifi and it worked... I will try switching to amon ra maybe.
Thanks for the help

I remember from when I had my DX2 that we needed wifi to be off to make nands. Totally forgot about that or I would have told you that, too. You should definitely try Amon Ra, though. It's just better with our devices right now and does everything that we need.
I've always used CWM before my Rezound and loved it. But at this point I wouldn't even consider using it. It's buggy and not even official. Amon Ra is amazing. It takes a little longer but its worth it IMHO

I used the revolutionary methods to gain root and choose to download and install the recovery. Turns out its a CWM recovery by AlphaRev. It looks like every other CWM but blue in color. Then I notice that there is a recovery by TeamWin. Well which one should I use? I can't find the .img for the AlphaRev recovery, only the TeamWin one.
Which one has a better backup/restore and which one has a better compression (smallest size)?
In case anyone is looking for the CWM for AlphaRevx v4.0.1.4 that comes with the Revolutionary that some haven't been able to flash, here it is---Choose the SHOOTER:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14693680&postcount=1
I haven't tried this because my flash was successful, but this is the version that is currently running on my rooted 3D.
I never used CWM on my OG EVO, I always used Amon RA. Use teamwin recovery, it is nice.
There is a zip file attached to the first post in their thread that can be flashed in hboot, it the pg86100.zip. Just put it on root sd card and boot to hboot. Once there it will load the image and it will ask to flash image and press volume up, reboot when done and your good to go.

Yeah, that's for the TeamWin recovery. Some people may want to stay with CWM because it has always worked for them. Just trying to show people that it still available in the link I supplied
Which recovery has less problems? I just read in the TWRP post that there is a battery % issue that shows it at 10%.

It think the battery issue is purely comestic. They added this to their recovery since CWM didn't have this. The bug is that it always says 10% or 99%. Not a problem if YOU make sure you have enough juice on your phone before doing any recovery stuff.
We won't know which has more problems until people have had a chance to evaluate TWRP for days/weeks. The CWM recovery has been out for a while now, but people are making changes to it to suit their needs.
o so its only within the recovery that battery is messed up, not while the phone is on and running android?

Correct. While your up and running your fine. That will only be displayed during recovery. As soon as they get the kernel fix they will update it.

Not sure about that....I read that too, but mine was accurate. It showed 96%. So, it may be a battery stat issue, bad battery, etc. I have no issues with that aspect.
I'd love to have Amon Ra recovery on the EVO 3D, had it on my OG EVO and it worked flawlessly. I never used Clockworkmod on the OG EVO, I'm wondering if I should switch to twrp or not...
I've used clockworkmod on my nexus s and this and never had a problem. Several friends use this recovery on other phones and it seems to work great. I don't understand why everyone is going against it
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Well in earlier clockworkmod versions of the EVO 4G it had problems like not wiping correctly and such and people just didn't use it and avoided any problems.
When I first rooted my EVO I started out with Amon Ra and never used clockworkmod, so I never experienced any issues at all.
So I was just wondering if there was anything to gain by switching to TWRP from Clockworkmod.

I agree, I never used it either. I've never had issues with either Amon or CWM but I saw issues others were having and I primarily used Fresh roms and flipz recommended using Amon_ra so that's what I did. I installed CWM while rooting, it seems fine. I installed twrp just to play around with it, it seems fine as well. I'll probably stick with twrp until, if and when, there is an amon_ra for the EVO 3D but I'm sure that either would work fine.
CWM F'd up on my Nands. Then i was stuck with a ROM-less phone. Screw CWM. Oh yeah, TeamWin FTW!
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D! -Security Off-
I always used darch's modified version of ra on my hero but am liking cwm---might flash twrp to compare though

CRW is now official on the Rezound. Both touch and non touch are available.
Regular: http://goo.gl/CF7LE and Touch: http://goo.gl/p0qY8
Enjoy!
You can do it through the new ROM Manager, but getting Touch that way isn't free.

Sweet. I actually have the choice between two recoveries.

Thx DSB9938.
Can some one tell me how to get this on my phone? Do you use adb and push the recovery.img to the phone in the fastboot menu? if so what is the command?
Thanks

Extract the recovery.img from the zip and while in fastboot, run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Yes it is the same method via fastboot.
Code:

As other stated you can manually enter the commands
Thanks for this dsb9938. I flashed this and it works but when I am using the backup feature it hangs and I have tried it 3-4 times and it hangs at different files during the backup of the system. Just reporting it to see if anyone else is having this issue.
Thanks
I had problems with the backup also. It completed the backup, but couldn't backup my cache. went back to Amon Ra for now.
Same here I went back to Amon Ra as well and was able to backup everything with no issues. Looks like CWM will be coming out with a newer version for the Rezound I would hope.

I wasn't expecting too much from this version of CWM, and I'm sure it will get straightened out soon. Just happy to see options being rolled out so quickly.
Wasn't expecting too much? Kinda rude.
I have done several backups and restores, on several devices.
Sometimes it stops for a minute, I don't know why, but it always finishes.
If you have problems with it, there's still the other one. And I hear twerp will be out soon.
I'm sure koush will do an official build soon, I just like cwr and didn't wanna wait.
D
Just wanted to say, works fine; and I love you for this. Way to be impatient too!
Downloaded and installed. Ran my first backup. Will try flashing a ROM from zip shortly.
Worked like a charm, as always. The print on the phone is WAY too small for my old eyes, but other than that: perfect.
Will i be able to restore a nand backup i made from amon thru cwm? Or do i need to re backup in cwn

I didn't mean any offense. I apologize. Tried CWM again and it backed up flawlessly. Not sure what the issue was the first go around. Anyway, thank you for the release!
Mine hung during a backup as well. Going to try it again to see if the backup completes.
I've been using CWM since I began rooting so I'm glad to have this option. Thanks!
EDIT: Just ran a backup right now and worked perfectly! It was the 3rd attempt but all is good.
Any advantages of CWM vs ArA?

Which one are you guys using? I'm using anon ra and I like it more than cwm but just wanted to see what you guys thought.

I really liked CWM on my Dinc, but they both seem pretty similar to me for the most part. Amon might have a few more options from the looks of it, but I have yet to try CWM for the Rezound back I heard it was kinda spotty. Once it's more stable I'll give it a go and see which one I like better. I'm just glad to finally have a recovery available
I liked cwm for my Dinc, but running amon ra now on my Rezound. It really is no difference except for small nuisances. And like the previous poster, I am just glad that we can get a recovery now.

Yup...it's as easy as flashing the boot.img in fastboot like you did to flash CWM.
I'm currently using AmonRa but have used CWM since I got my Incredible. I'm kinda liking AmonRa right now so I may stick with it.

That's what I'd like to know also. If I try one recovery and then decide I wanna use a different recovery, is it possible to flash the new recovery over the older one?

+1. That pretty much covers it all. One point is that it was a lot easier to read the screen in CWM on my Incredible than it is with RA Vigor. I have to put my reading glasses on every time or I can't see what's on the screen.

Yes just flash the new one.
I'm not sure if this is a known issue, but I'm completely unable to back up roms. I've tried with both ROM manager and manually doing it in Clockwork Mod Touch without any success. So now I'm just stuck with making Titanium backups of all my apps and starting everything else from scratch.
Also, if I restore a recovery, do I still have to reflash the kernel?
I'm a bit of a noob, so be gentle lol.
Loving my rezound and all the roms, just tired of having to start over every time!

Ya. Don't use clockwork. It does not work well for us right now. The best recovery for rezound is amon RA recovery. It does backups and restore just fine

Yeah, use Amon Ra. Also read the forums and take notes before you do much more to your phone. Then search. Cuz this particular issue probably has 10 threads already.
You should only have to worry about kernels when you change ROMs. Always flash the appropriate kernel when changing roms.

Going to re-root again and probably ROM again, debating between TWRP and Amon Ra, is one any better than the other?
Probably going to ROM with Infection or XenonHD, is either one preferred with those ROMs?
Twrp is more updated and in newer ROMs there may be an update system included and to have the update automatically install for you when you click update, the recovery needs to support something called "open script" I believe that's what its called. And amon ra doesn't support that but twrp and cwm do, I actually switched from amon ra to twrp and I like it way better and the open script comes in handy when you don't want to manually install zips or updates.

Awesome, sounds like a good enough reason for me to give TWRP a shot. Thanks.
I was using TWRP for a while with no issue and liked it. Then for some reason it started having an issue with not restoring new backups. Didn't try to reinstall but moved to CWM Touch. I like it but backups are not compatible between the two and TWRP does have more features.

Quick question, can twrp be flashed over amon ra? And to Ace, if you look in the Infection thread I believe Neo recommends flashing with amon ra.

Doesn't CWM Touch have the dead battery bug where it won't let the battery charge if it goes completely dead? Or has that been fixed, it would be real deal breaker for me...

I've never had problems with twrp on backups or installs. I've only used and been on the latest 2.5.0.0 version though
So idk if you we're on a older version or something
And you should be able to flash a recovery on top of another it just replaces the recovery.img and ROM performance shouldn't be effected by the recovery. That doesn't really make sense so use the one you want
