Is clockwork the only recovery we can use?

[Tower72]

Title says it all. When I had my Evo I had a choice between Clockwork and AmonRa. AmonRa was more robust then clockwork with many more options (what to save in Nandroids etc. Seems clockwork saves EVERYTHING). Just curious if Amon is available for the Bolt.

While Amon doesn't work, there are other options. A really popular recovery over at Rootzwiki is the Team Win Recovery Project (Link here). I'd recommend taking a look at it, as it has some really nice features (continuous scroll with the volume keys, select with the search key or the power button, etc), and the menu structure is really nice.

There is another. TWR, Windows Recovery. It is being mentioned on Rootzwiki as the true open source CWR alternative.

Thanks gang! I might have to give this a shot once
"Under certain circumstances, recovery may fail to start. Running 'recovery' from within adb shell, running adb reboot recovery, or pulling the battery should fix it. This is still being investigated."

is fixed lol. I know in the past Clockwork wasnt wiping the Delvik properly which lead to some issues for people, I wonder if this is since been fixed
