v2.0.0
Some things in v2.0.0 were kanged with a twist from the Clockworkmod recovery.
Updated kernel to 2.6.35 (SLCD and AMOLED are now both supported).
Added SDEXT support for update scripts.
Added "filebrowser" support when you select a zip to flash.
Added "/.." support to the filebrowser so you can navigate up.
Added a mount menu so you can manually (u)mount stuff.
Added a toggle verification switch so you can flash those awesome unsigned winrar rom releases...
Fully re-wrote the wipe menu (it's not using a script anymore), added a few new wipe options.
Added "/sdcard/.android_secure" support , nandroid now backups/restores .android_secure (Froyo a2sd apps) by default.
Added a few new Google apps to the Google app backup script.

Apart from the backup of .android_secure, and the wipe all user data, how is this
exactly different from RA.1.7.0.1.R5?

Not to sound like a twat, Amon_RA, I'm simply wondering what the difference between this and ClockworkMod is?

Sorry for asking noob questions, but Im still fairly new to Android modding and dont know what to do.

My problem is I rooted through unrevoked and used AmonRA 1.7.0.1 Recovery R5 as recovery.

I now wanted to upgrade to the latest version but I cant do the same thing through unrevoked again since it now recognizes my desire as "passion" (Using MIUI Rom)

any help?

Did you S-OFF your phone? If so you can goto bootloader and flash trough fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery <imagename>

Nope. The first screen after holding back + power button still shows S-On.
As I said I only did use unrevoked and flashed a custom Rom.
Any way to update without S-OFF?

Think unrevoked can flash s-off at the same time as flashing the custom image. This worked great for me - but make sure you uninstall HTC Sync first and install the adb drivers from the unrevoked home page ;)

Cheers!! :D

Where can i use this commands?
Where i have to put the recovery img for flash it?
Thanks:p

You want to download the Android SDK first, in the windows version fastboot is included for the linux version google fastboot and it will bring you to the HTC Developer Center.


And yea you might want to

fastboot erase recovery

first indeed, but should not matter as it is a binairy format and the leftover data that might be left behind is not accessible anyway due to the new ToC.

Menu Navigation

Hi.....loving the new recovery.....any chance you could implement the volume keys to navigate up/down. Its far easier than the optical pad which i dont feel very responsive???? Cheers Andy

Thx for a great update first of all!

I flashed successfully, but experienced some peculiar issues...

After flashing new recovery, my SU-rights are gone and I cant even open "Super User permissions" anymore - which totally messes up my several apps:(

I get a FC: com.noshefu.android.su for Superuser Permissions was closed ...

Any ideas here?

    This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source with a lot of things added by me. The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu.

    This recovery is for the HTC GSM Desire only, if you have a :
    - HTC Dream/G1 you should go here.
    - HTC Magic/MT3G you should go here.
    - HTC Hero you should go here.
    - HTC Sprint Hero you should go here.
    - HTC Eris you should go here.
    - HTC Tattoo you should go here.
    - HTC N1 you should go here.

    Important notes
    • Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!
      You can do this by doing :
      • "cat /tmp/recovery.log" OR "cat /cache/recovery/log" right after you had the issue.
      • Use the "move log to sd" option in the "others" menu right after you had the issue. This will move the log to /sdcard/recovery.log so you can easily open it with a text editor.

    Use the trackball (up+down) to navigate through the menu, press the trackball to select items. Use the Back-key to go back to a previous menu.

    I have my /data/data binded to sd-ext/data use firerat.
    Almost lost it all because i thought nandroid backed up the entire sd-ext.

    Same problem here, pretty much. The workaround for me right now is just not to flash any ROMs that would require a Data+Cache wipe... :(

    Try this version : nandroid should backup everything on sd-ext. I didn't test it yet so check the sd-ext backup tar once you made a nandroid backup.

    any chance for creating more than 2 parition using this recovery?
    Example
    - Partition 1 = fat32
    - Partition 2 = ext4
    - Partition 3 = ext4..

    Since we have data2ext that need 3 partition now.. :D

    Use adb and parted : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714
