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
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 (Backup and Restore Tool) : enter "utility" to start.
  • switchrom.sh V1.1 : enter "switchrom" to start.
  • sdparted v0.5.3 : 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 SDalvik-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!!
