New Amon Ra Magic Recovery img!

[vigan8]

FOR MYTOUCH/MAGIC USERS, THIS IS THE BEST RECOVERY!
Thanks to Amon Ra , we have this full featured recovery for our Magic phones (http://androidcommunity.com/forums/#)
this was taken directly from his xda thread . i did change the install to be done through terminal instead of adb . here is his full thread...

This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's v1.4 recovery.
The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using the console by accessing all features directly from the menu.

DO NOT USE the recovery command to return back from console to recovery! Use the reboot command instead! Some scripts (like nandroid) will not work properly if you do so!

Features

full ADB access in recovery mode
Busybox
Extended menu (with keyboard-shortcuts):

Nandroid v2.2 backup and restore
Regular update.zip flash
Flash any .zip from your SD-card
Wipe data + cache (factory reset)
Wipe ext partition on SD-card
Wipe Dalvik-cache on SD-card (NOT on /data !)
Partition SD-card : 500MB Ext2, 32MB Swap, remaining Fat32
Partition SD-card : Only Fat32
Repair ext filesystem
Convert ext2 to ext3
Fix package UID mismatches
Fix auto-rotate issues
Toggle USB-Mass storage on and off

Scripts available via adb :

BART v0.9.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4569600&postcount=1) (Backup and Restore Tool) : enter "utility" to start.
switchrom.sh V1.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4209412&postcount=1) : enter "switchrom" to start.
sdparted v0.5.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4259325&postcount=1) : enter "sdparted" to start.


Download
Use the H/G version if your Magic is HTC branded (PVT 32A board)/Google branded (PVT 32B board, or if you have an HTC Dream).

If you have problems with a "no space on device" error, try using fastboot and erasing first:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.2.img
Change-log :
v1.2.3

Aligned the Magic version with the Dream version.
Recompiled 32A kernel to support squashfs
added squashfs to fstab (should fix issues accessing system and xbin for people using Cyanogen's ROM)
Replaced the GREEN-key by the HOME-key for confirmation
Removed the menu title to create more space
Added Wipe SDhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gifalvik-cache
Added Rotate fix
Removed "Move apps to SD" because it's automatically implemented by most ROMs already.
Added confirmation before performing a nandroid backup
Set swap back to 32MB instead of 96MB when doing an auto partition SD-card from the menu
Upgraded fix_permissions to v1.31-R3
Added BART v0.9.2
Fixed many bugs (mostly in scripts)

Nice find ! Amon Ra got it out . He was joking about holding it back a day for everybody that asks about when would it be ready ;)

[vigan8]

Amon_RA's recovery images makes flashing so painless.
I have both his latest versions on my G1 & Hero.
Amon's recovery with the 51Dusty's script, switchrom and good old "root explorer" it's all easy street!!

Can you guys fill me in.. I have a g1 running JF1.5

And I wanna get up to speed with the new cyanogen.

I keep hearing about doing a nandroid update first, but have never used nandroid.

Where would I get nandroid, and how do I use it?


Then, would I download this recovery program and set it up on the phone first or what?

I'm unsure of which order to do these things...

Thanks guys
