I generally leave backups as is, i never move them or rename them, as it can cause the recovery to not be able to find it when you need to restore it. If you really want you can just make a copy and place in a folder on your computer for safe keeping.

Yes you can take the battery out. You want to be in HBOOT to install AmonRa. After you pull the battery put it back in, then hold down power and volume down until you see a screen that says "Fastboot". Plug into your PC and if you have the necessary files, open a command prompt and change directory to your android SDK. Then issue the command "fastboot flash recovery <path to amon-ra .img file>" That will flash amon ra. Then you can choose the recovery option on your phone and you're in. You need to make sure to replace the battery covery when before you boot back into the phone otherwise you won't have any reception.

Looks like you're spot on. Are you sure it's 3.13? You should be able to go right from HBOOT and flashing amon-ra to choose recovery(on screen) and it should be 3.14

 

[athack]

tried it twice and both times same thing 3.13 on the bottom of recovery screen tried it like u said from hboot to recovery and then again with rebooting... would it matter if the 3.13 recovery is still in the adk folder where the 3.14 is???

Only if you were typing the name of the 3.13 file in your fastboot command(which it doesn't look like you did). If memory serves they changed from red(3.13) back to blue(3.14) is everything still red? Could be they just didn't update the version number.

 

[athack]

no everything is blue... so i guess it might be 3.14 just that didnt change the version? i dont know if it was like this in 3.13 but if i touch the home button it jumps to power off... search button automatically reboots phone... menu button drops it down to usb ???

 

[MrSmith317]

No clue. I still use 3.10. I have no urge to upgrade when 3.10 does the same but doesn't let ROMs auto flash my kernel(which I prefer)

ok thank you mr smith317

Trying to send the amon-ra.img to my device via fastboot, and I get the following:

My bootloader is unlocked, so I don't know what else it might be referring to. Any suggestions?
