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?

Flashing a recovery doesn't change a single bit to your installed ROM...
You probably did something else to get those issues.

How can I flash it if I have already root-ed my Desire with Unrevoked 3 and ClockworkMod recovery. I have ext partition on the sd card and my phone still said S-ON. The security off was ticked when I used unrevoked I'm on a Mac .

Sorry to bother, but I'm very new to all this.

Thank you.

You can just flash it through unrevoked by pressing "select custom recovery" and then choosing it.

Love the new colours, and the structure of the options is very intuitive.

Is it possible, though, for a:

Flash update.zip from SDCARD


option to be added?

Josh.

Also, is it possible for a format /System option?

Also flashable via a terminal on youre phone.

flash_image recovery /sdcard/amonra.img

[where amonra.img is the recovery placed in the root of the sdcard.Renamed, is easyer to type]

Thanks to OP..:)

Any chance to get this as fake flash file? In my opinion it's the best recovery but some roms, like robociks HD Roms, only want to install with clockwork and for easy changing recovery, I'm using fake flash! Would be great to get an update.zip file for fake flash for this recovery!
Thx

    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.

    Features

    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.

    Some things in v2.0.0 were kanged with a twist from the Clockworkmod recovery.

    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
