If I already have CloclworkMod
do I have to delete it first before installing
Amon ra?

Thanks.

nope :) just flash the zip from clockwork recovery. i think its a pc36img.zip file, so you put it on the root of your sd card and let the recovery do an automatic update ;)
 
After installation then, does Amon ra become the "default" recovery?

Also, there is an image file on the XDA site by the name of

"recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img". Is that needed?

Also, if I get /sdcard/ and then a bunch of folders, just drag and drop the ZIP file outside of one of those folders and that will be the right place for it to be?

Thanks.

yes that is all.... jk yeah, grab that file, rename it pc36img.zip (make sure it doesnt inadventently get named pc36img.zip.zip) and the placement on your card you described is exactly correct. Finally (apparently in reverse order from how you asked them) yes, itll become your default recovery..... well, you can only have 1 recovery operable at one time, so itll be your only recovery unless you flash the clockwork back on your device.... but i dont know why one would do that LoL

When I rename the .img file, there will be two zip files now instead of one to put on the sd card, correct?

ALL you need to do is download the amon ra 2.3 recovery ZIP, name it PC36IMG and place it on the root of your SD card. There should only be one file with that name on your SD card at one time and you should also rename it when you are done so that hboot doesn't update every time.

The amon RA recovery.img file is inside of that zip so you don't need it again. Some of us don't like flashing from recovery so we pull the .img file and flash it from terminal emulator. This does not concern you unless you want to learn.
 
For some reason the post on XDA had links to both the .IMG recovery file and the full ZIP file ( both same size ) and with my new limited knowledge, I thought both were needed. Live and learn.

I just hbooted and the message "no image" popped up when it was running the boot up for new sd card contents.

What is going on with this?

I selected yes to update and it was over in a second.....

It says "parsing sd zip - recovery ok"


Maybe I should try your earlier suggestion to zip up the .img file and update that?

the zip file on the xda thread should be sufficient... is it named pc36img.zip?

They would both be the same size...one just has the scripts added to flash it in recovery they are almost negligible in size the .img is the bulk
 
Go to terminal emulator and type "which flash_image" tell me what it come back with. No quotes in te obviously
 
Again, it finished very quickly...

I installed terminal emulator and "which flash_image"

returned "not found" message...

I just rebooted. I don't have terminal emulator installed yet.

Shouldn't take long. Did it work. If not grab terminal emulator and punch in which flash_image we are gonna do this the old fashioned way
