I saw in NilsP's rom thread that people have been working on clockwork mod recovery to see and get it working. I read that with a file copy and an advanced setting you can get backups to work. The main problem being the infamous charging bug.
Here is what is posted in that thread.
punman said:
I wasn't aware of this but when you plug the phone in, it boots what looks like a mini-recovery kernel. I suspect something with this isn't supporting the battery charge. I am going to flash back to Amon Ra and see what the differences are.
Just select "backup to external SD card" in ROM Manager Settings. You might have to enable "advanced settings" to get the option.

OK here is where I am as memories come back.
If you select backup to external and set progress off it does not actually turn off progress unless you copy the hideprogress file from internal to external. The bad part is the backup hangs if you don't copy the file.
When you select install ROM from SD Card it shows what is on the internal card to select not the external.
I have not tried a restore yet but I remember if you do it from RM it deletes the boot (kernel) but can't restore it due to s-on. Gonna test that in a minute.
EDIT: Backup and restore worked fine after copying the hideprogress file
EDIT: Just had to select internal from the menu when selecting install ROM from SD Card in RM

So, ideas/thoughts?
its been workin fine as long as u dont let the battery die
just use amon ra. It is better anyway. I don't understand why everyone like CWM so much better.

Yep. I recovered my original GB after using an early CleanROM ICSE ROM. I think I used Scott's CleanFlash tool to flash back the correct kernel for GB.
All my recoveries have backed up flawlessly since, but I am currently only running stock rooted. Haven't tried recovering any ICS backups.

They look very similar (pretty much only a color change depending on the version) and operate almost exactly the same.

And since I bought ROM Manager while using my DInc I'd prefer to use CWM. It's a reasonable, personal choice and I've never let my batteries fully discharge, so never had charging issues.
And I don't avoid full discharge because I use CWM, I avoid full discharge because it's actually bad for the batteries.

That's not to say there's anything wrong with the N64. I still love it and play it with my friends almost every weekend. I didn't intentionally make it analogous with CWM and Amon Ra or anything: since I used to use CWM on the Incredible and now I'm using Amon Ra--but I just really love N64. I'd take it over the Wii any day.

LOL. Some get and some don't. It works the same as cwm just without issues. It's amazing and annoying to see people posting almost daily on charging issues yet they refuse to use amon ra because they are comfortable with cwm. I to was hesitant to use it at first but quickly felt like I was in a familiar place once installed. My Rezound has never seen cwm. I have seen the light and I am just thankful there are other options.

I think I mentioned earlier that I had no issues charging. But I am also not saying that Amon Ra is bad. Just that I have a preference and that I know how to handle/avoid the pitfalls.
Interestingly, there were many in the DInc threads who didn't like CWM or ROM Manager, but no one there made snarky comments about personal choice... (not talking about you, snowride)
I think any CWM thread will just devolve like a Sense thread will. At least in the Rezound forums.

I also bought CWM while on the Incredible and it did it's job nearly flawlessly. I installed it on my Rezound after rooting in Dec., had issues, flashed AmonRa, and haven't looked back. Superior, IMO. I'll keep using what works.

Ok so i just ordered my new HTC EVO 3D off ebay since my EVO is officially done, so my question is, after looking through the DEV section ive seen a lot of information on TWRP recovery and im wondering are there other options like with the EVO.
For instance the EVO had TWRP, Amon RA, CWM, ect..
The reason i ask is because ive had a pretty bad experience with TWRP so im reluctant to use it with this phone when i get it.
I used clockwork before I got twrp 2.0

I made a handful of code commits to TWRP at the beginning of the project.. The project was started as Amon RA announce he was "retiring" essentially from updating his recovery to work with EMMC devices.
The EVO 4G was an MTD device so Amon's recovery worked well. The EVO 3D is an EMMC device so Amon's recovery would not work.
Personally, I've had good success with CWM as it is consistent across devices and I haven't had issues with it across the handful of Android devices I've had.
Ultimately, the decision is up to you. I only use the basic features in the recovery, adb shell access from recovery mode, nandroid backup/restore and ability to process a .zip. These three basic features I use are essentially the same or at minimum very similar across the different recoveries.
Different custom recovery's will offer different features, different support and different UI/themes.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
I use clock work mod. Alot of others use Twrp but I rooted my phone with the old revolution method and I have never had any problems with cwm.
I can't get clockwork to stick for some reason. Haven't figured it out yet but twrp is awesome.
I haven't compressed the backups but it's a nice feature that saves space. And I read that 2.0 is crazy fast at backing up and restoring. Took me 1592 seconds to restore the recovery partition tonight. Long ass time.

If you want CWM to stick for good, install it from Rom Manager. I have never personally used TWRP and hear it's amazing but I doubt I'll ever switch after using CWM for years and have no reason to. /endrant

I tried twrp 2.0 didn't like it, it would quit in the middle of a wiping process and I would have to reboot into recovery again but it does have a touchscreen interface so some might find that useful. I used CWM like somebody else in this thread said it wouldn't stick I had the same problem. My favorite is twrp 1.1.1 never had any problems at all and the best part is you can flash multiple zips all at once. Oh! one more thing. I found out when using CWM wiping davlik cache would sometimes not work.
Twrp is my vote non touch version

CWM is going the way of WebOS. Yes, that makes me happy. There are far superior alternate recoveries out there. CWM has lived its life in the spotlight but the likes of TWRP and others are slamming CWM to the ground release after release, update after update. Just throwing this out there.

hrm.
I use recovery to factory reset, wipe cache, and flash roms. I'd wager that's what 95% of people use them for. What is there left to be done in recovery development that can slam another recovery to the ground, when it does the 3 things everyone uses it for?
Aside from the dead battery charging issue in CWM, the only thing I see in Amon that's handy is rebooting back to bootloader.
I'm sure I must be missing something - something I don't need, but is apparently monumental?

I want to dual boot on my rezound. However, what Im unsure about is if it is possible to do if the two roms require different kernels. For example if I ran a Gb rom which needs a gb kernel, and then tried to dual boot with a ics rom that needs a ics kernel. Is this possible?
I too am wondering this. I was gonna make a nand of a GB Rom and one of an ICS Rom and switch between them

I think it can be done. I am actually working on it now.
At first I was like "Uh..why would you want to do that?" but then thinking of how many times I have reinstalled BAMF (4) and tried new ROMS on top of that (4)....
That's a nice idea. I don't see it happening. But a nice idea all the same.

I am sure it can be done... Just won't be easy
Would the nand idea work since the amon recovery allows you to backup the kernel as well? Just as long as you wipe data when switching between the nands?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
The reason I wanted to do it was because I wanted to be able to toy with the sense 4 roms that are unstable, without having to wipe data install the rom then have to switch back and redo my whole setup since they aren't stable. If we had dual booting the wiping data and resetting can be avoided and I can continue to check the sense 4 roms with ease.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
LOL. This is classic. It ashame the threads are full of the same questions over and over. You should not be using cwm on your rezound. Your problem is directly related to cwm. What was wrong with Amon Ra that you had to install cwm after you used it to root the phone? Don't answer that cause I really don't care. A few things you can do here.... Buy a new battery, buy a standalone battery charger, leave it sit on the charger for an hour but this may not work, put you battery in a friends phone and let it charge past 10% but please let it charge more. I also think you can boot to bootloader and let it sit and charge. I will check that right now. Please, for the rest of the time you have this phone do some research before you listen to your buddy who told you it was a good idea to root your phone. And use the search function, it helps keep the threads clean as there are probably a dozen more just like it.

Your phone died because it was not able to charge when using clockwork recovery it is a know issue with this phone and is known all over this forum. And like someone else has stated find another way to charge your battery and after you do that take clockwork off and put amon ra back on.

You need to flash the latest Amon Ra with fastboot. That will solve the charging issue your having. Their are tons of threads about this issue. Just a future tip, you should do some research before jumping into anything involving modding your device. It may take some time but it will actually save you time in the long run, while gaining basic knowledge of the steps it takes to modify your device.

try and flash again seems like it didnt work... or try another amonra file
I was using the Hansoon tool. Do I have to have the Amon ra file on my sd card?
Does anybody know if anyone is working on a AmonRa style recovery for the LTE, Just curious, Id actually like to see a Smelkusmod for our device.

Yes it is. Hopefully someone eill dev a version that will work on our phones. I was useing smelkus 4.3 when I had my supersonic, man what a wicked badass piece of work that was. And thats why I was asking. I like TWRP. But AmonRa is the way to go.

Amen to that TWRP would mess uo my flashes on my OG EVO and CWM would sometimes cause my captive Buttons to fail in Recovery. Smelkus Mason Recovery had unbelievable features and would never fail

TWRP isnt a bad recovery, I ve had no issues with it, But as you said, SmelkusMod has so many cool features and is extremely reliable. Only thing is, Smelkus is pretty picky about which device he developes for. As far as the original dev for AmonRa (damnit I always forget that dudes name,No disrespect intended) opefully he might be coming up with something for us. As I said, I dont have any issues with TWRP its just Im more accustomed to AmonRa and its nice to have alternatives.
Have y'all tried 4ext recovery? It's not on the lte yet but it was on the 3d and it was by far the best
Man i hope someone ports over some form of Amon RA, having options are always better

Haven't tried it because I never got a 3d, but it looks pretty awesome. I would love AmonRa or 4ext.

Lol, his name is AmonRa
Trying to remember what was so great about AmonRa. From what I remember it was just a prettier CWM. Somehow I must've missed these other variations of it but from my memory it was pretty basic when compared to TWRP. Maybe I didn't stick around with the OG EVO long enough. Hopped ship soon as 3D was released then left that for E4GT.

Yeah, same here why was AmonRa so awesome? I remember everyone said that, but I had nothing to compare it to. TWRP seems way more advanced to me in terms of being "pretty", plus the touch interface with the sliding to confirm is awesome. What are these awesome features of AmonRa?

Ra just worked. CWM was buggy as hell on the OG.
I've had to reinstall TWRP a few times already on this device because it would just reboot itself when trying to restore a nandroid or flash a ROM

Interesting. I've had no issues with TWRP through a lot of flashing and restoring.
But yeah, working is a nice feature, haha. I can see why people liked that about AmonRa.

If you ever used the latest version of AmonRA you would see why we want it for this phone, it looked great has just as many features as TWRP and never fails... Ahhh damn it nostalgia is a b**ch lol

Smelkus has combo wipes built into it like superwipe and dalvik cache & cache wipes.
The ability to auto reboot after a nandroid backup/restore is nice too
The original twrp (before touch interface) was based off armon and almost exactly the same.

True, But a dude name Smelkus(Smelkus Mod) Took the AmonRa to a whole other level. SmelkusMod 4.3 was an awesome piece. And for those who stated That AmonRa JUST WORKED. +1 that was exactly it It just works, no issues on bugs no fussin around with ****. it just works.
Just got on rootswiki and left Smelkus a message asking if he might consider deving a recovery for our device,,,Keep your fingers crossed...
