cat /proc/mtd

Check which mtd is the recovery and then:

cat /dev/mtd/mtdX > /sdcard/recovery.img

X being the mtd number of the recovery partition.

I Accidently removed clockworkmod directory on my SD card... so now ROM Manager doesn't work with my clockworkmod recovery... what can i do to replace it?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mik_os:
This is easier :)

dump_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Choose flash ClockworkMod recovery and then confirm that you are using Optimus One.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] rforums:
I flashed the clockwork recovery, installed ROM manager, changed the .settings file.

Yet it doesnt recognize the clockwork recovery.

I uninstalled, reinstalled several times but of no avail.

The timestamp field in the settings file is showing 0. Is it because of this?

If yes, what value should I change it to make it work.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] d3s3rt_eagle:
you don't need to change .settings no more. Just tap on "install clockworkmod recovery" on Rom Manager and it will recognize the recovery.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] rforums:
Thanks.. that did the the trick..
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sweettaniyaa:
If I havent got any recovery on my phone can I use this method to install this clockwork recovery v3.0.2.4 directly instead of installing custom recovery first and then flashing it?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mik_os:
I think yes.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] taha198:
Yes, you can flash CWM via the method menitioned in the link.

Also you can use terminal emulator for doing it via phone also.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sweettaniyaa:
Comeon mik, u r the genius who programmed it. U should know it for sure. Do u think there is a chance that it might not? Don't wanna go into any boot loops or something.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] pwntigo:
yes you can, flashing custom recovery is same as in that link
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ViTAMiNCHEG:
Flashed Clockwork through my Amon Ra recovery. When I enter the Clockwork recovery, it's showing me a text where is said:

"E:Bad boot message

"recovery "

Is it normal? I thought that this "Bad boot message" error is only in Amon Ra recovery.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
Its normal.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] shhbz:
why r u willing to take risk as till nobody has confirmed that that will work.as flashing process i same and it will take same steps to follow just placing the the thunderg recovery instead of this which works for sure. and later install the zip from recovery as mik stated in first post orelse he himself would have asked to place the file and use adb to make it work .

what i think is as for now old users who already have thunderg installed they r just flashing the sizned zip and using it.

nobody had confirmed to place the file and use adb to get it working, if u get a confirmation then u can try as there are two files inside recovery and till now nobody confirmed whether to tranfer both file and flash file and then use adb
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sweettaniyaa:
Just wanted a fresh install instead of flashing one over another.

@mik

Is there any reason y this indirect method is used instead of directly flashing it by ADB method?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] marioemp2k7:
This is not an indirect method but an equivalent one.

This is what it does and it automates what you would do through ADB.

"assert(package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/tmp/recovery.img"),

write_raw_image("/tmp/recovery.img", "recovery"),

delete("/tmp/recovery.img"));"

How to actualy replace recovery.img is your choice. I have done it both ways with the same results (ofc).
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sweettaniyaa:
Hey thanx for confirming that u could successfully flash mik's recovery through ADB. Can you confirm if the commands u used were the same as this

adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery

I have a doubt in the second and fifth line of the commands where they have used "mtdblock5". They have used "mtdblock1" to flash thunderg. Can u tell me y is there a difference in that part of the commands? Also this command line "mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak" is entirely missing. y?

Mik, if this method works too y don't u add it on the first page?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] marioemp2k7:
The mount point doesn't matter. You can actually mount on one or another.

The system mounts them like this:

/dev/block/mtdblock1 194560 163824 30736 84% /system

/dev/block/mtdblock9 204288 2144 202144 1% /data

/dev/block/mtdblock8 65536 1172 64364 2% /cache

but it doesn't really matter where you mount /system or /data.

The command "mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak" is missing because "install-recovery.sh" script is not present from rev 1.1 upwards so there is nothing to remove. You can do it just to be sure you don't have that script.

The ADB method has been posted several times and I don't think it's necessary to post it again since an easier method is provided.

I would also encourage you to find the time and read every bit of information that seems important on this forum section. Experiment a little. You couldn't learn just posting questions. ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sweettaniyaa:
Thank U

Thank u so much for clearing my doubts. Thanks to everyone who took their time to reply to my queries. I thought I read the whole thread but I guess I totally missed out on the posts with the ADB method. My mistake.

I experiment a lot with my Lappie cause I know it every well and know to get it back to working condition from where ever it is. But I have spend just a month (today is the one month anniversary:D) with my first smart phone. Just getting to know different aspects of it. So pardon my minor minor (maybe even repeated at times) queries. Very scared of bricking my phone.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] marioemp2k7:
You're welcome!

You picked a good first smartphone to play with :). You would have to go great lenghts to brick your phone unless you read everything twice. Don't hurry to do something unless you are sure you understood it properly. The worst case scenario for me was to flash a wrong recovery and I restored my phone in Emergency\Download mode with KDZ.

And one more thing. Do not ever format /recovery partition from Clockworkmod after you formatted /system and/or /data ;).
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] GForceXIII:
A little noobish question, if I want to go back using amonra, do I just flash it with clockworkmod?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nikalai:
Yes, you flash recovery-amonra.zip from the first post.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] GForceXIII:
Thank you nikalai

if i flash signed-recovery.zip my rom will work or i have also to flash another rom compatible with CWM recovery???

and which are the roms im able to use after flashing CWM recovery?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] marioemp2k7:
The custom recovery does not influence your currently installed rom. When you will want to flash another one it will have to be edify scripted.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sovikhaque:
Just installed this recovery since Mik included rom manager. Looks alright. Haven't installed anything using this recovery

Name: Smart Light

Smart light is a 100% free (NO ads)! But, it is not just another flashlight app.

When it is dark, your eyes dilate (your pupils, the black spot of the eye gets larger) to allow in more light in to see better. White light is the highest of all energy light, and causes your pupils to contract (get smaller) thus ruining your night vision. Red light is of the lowest energy light your eyes can see, and causes your eyes to contract LESS than white light (or any other color). By default when you load this app, it loads red light at 50% intensity, so while you are looking at the screen your eyes can continue to dilate. You can easily and quickly turn up the intensity of the red light with the slider for more light, and face the screen at what you need to see, illuminating your path while maintaining your night vision. Even white light bouncing off your path can ruin your night vision.

If you need that extra amount of light, you quickly swap to white light with the switch button.

Also, this light uses the entire screen space to produce light, not just a small area or image of a light blub like most other apps, allowing to produce maximum light.

Features: Very small file size, extremely fast loading, easy to use. No advertisements, 100% free!

Download on WP7 Marketplace. Will launch Zune software.

XAP file is attached.

Please rate and or review my app. I would like to get it up as high in the rankings as possible so other people will learn about night vision and stop paying $0.99 for flashlight apps!

[HTC Inspire 4G] PBCRUM1970:
I have the new inspire 4G. I recently rooted it with Bubbys one click. Obviously a great program to use or I can promise you that I wouldnt be up and running!! The problem I am having is that I want to load a new ROM. Looking at the core droid ROMS. I have downloaded the one I want and gone into my ROM manager to load it from SD card. Its on my SD card and I select it. Once it does the data wipe and backup it says its gonna reboot into CWM....the problem is that it never does. The HTC logo screen comes up and then fades to black. I have to take the battery out and put it back in to actually get the phone to turn off and back on. Once it turns back on it goes back to the same ROM ive been using that came with Bubbys once click. What the heck am I doing wrong??

I am totally new to this and have been reading everything I can get my hands on....but I need professional help....in more than one way Im sure!! Any help would be appreciated. I already checked the answer and questions page in Bubbys section. I didnt see an answer.

Patrick

My CWM is version 3.0.0.6

Name: iPooey

Trick your friends! Tell them you get a new prototype iPhone hardware, or you installed iOS on your WindowsPhone. Looks like iOS interface, but when they click it, a cartoon poo appears where they clicked and it plays a nasty fart sound! Use it to annoy those other snobby stuck-up iPhone users!

It goes for $0.99 on the Marketplace, but I am making it available for free to fellow XDA members; if you can sideload apps via a xap file. If you like it and use it a lot, feel free to support me by purchasing it on the Marketplace if you want. But, enjoy the free version for now because XDA is awesome!

Download/Purchase link via Zune. Download link should wok by 4/7/11 for all regions.

V1.1 is now available. It now sets the "iPhone" clock to the current system time instead of a static clock, to increase immersion. Also loads faster.

If you guys do enjoy it and purchase it on the Marketplace please review it also to help me out!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chaoticaa:
It would be nice if you could at least do something in the app. For example, if you could swipe through the pages to make it seem much more realistic. Also, maybe get a higher resolution screenshot of iOS? This screenshot makes it look more like a prototype of the original iPhone somehow running iOS 4.

If these things are done, it would definitely be worth the 99 cents and probably even more!

Great!

Haha, great app, when's the android version coming? :p
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] enahs_:
The forum compresses the attached images. The real app is high resolution. I guess I should find a website to host the screenshot and link it.

I really worry about that in the Microsoft marketplace. They compress the screenshots even further and makes it look so much worse that it is annoying.

With all due respect to the OP, this is singlehandedly one of the most retarded and juvenile things I've ever seen.

We all have mobile devices based on what our preferences and likes are, this isn't the sort of maturity that we should be projecting about the iPhone, it's appalling. I own an Android phone, but I'm perfectly content with respecting all the phone platforms as very capable.

I hate ****-talking any app like this, but it needs to be said. It's a joke for now, har har har, but it projects a terrible attitude towards the mobile space and I doubt you'll be taken seriously should you choose to release mature paid apps in the future.

Good day to you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] enahs_:
I have released mature apps. I have several in the top 10 in the WP7 Marketplace in a couple different categories. So that takes care of that.

To the rest of what you said, whatever. Its called a joke, people have different sense of humors. It hurts nobody. You honestly sound like somebody who is just offended and must insult and put down other people who do not agree with your opinion of the world. Other people enjoy it, you are not the morality police. Insult the quality of the app, please, I want to improve my programming. But just because it offends you does not mean your opinion is the only right one and you should insult everyone else that enjoys this type of humor....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] LiquidSolstice:
A) No, I'm not offended. I'm just disappointed.

B) It's fine that it's a joke. That's not what I'm disappointed about.

C) Just as you're entitled to make whatever app you want, I'm entitled to tell you (or anyone else) my opinion as it stands.

Get over it. Not everyone is grinning their ass off at your little joke, and I might be the first person to express it, but you can be sure I won't be the last.

I'm not that impressed with "programming" when it appears to be an image that executes an animation when tapped. I don't understand why this made the front page.

In fact, YOU sound more upset that someone didn't like your app, which in that case, it's you that needs to grow up.

Whatever, I'm leaving this thread, I don't own a WP7 device, but if I did, you can be sure I wouldn't be getting this "app".
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] enahs_:
No, in fact a lot of people do not like some of my apps. Does not offend me. Just like it does not offend me when people do not like my cooking, it is all a matter of personal opinion.

Other people are enjoying something that does not harm anybody and you feel the need to come in and try and make people feel bad about it, insult people, and ruin peoples good time.

Yes, you are entitled to your opinion. Well, guess what, people are entitled to their opinion about your opinion.

I found that with a skin/gel thing that you can get at the sprint store for the optimus, the VM - Optimus V, actually fits into the legacy moto droid GPS clip,

as well as the holster that the verizon store used to sell for the droid 1.

Thanks for the tip, but the power plug for the Droid is on the side. Any Droid car mount I get will have the power in the wrong location.

You got me thinking and I did find this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043EV24W

It has a built in micro-usb plug, but the only problem is that the EVO is about a quarter inch wider than the Optimus. I'm not sure it the fit will be snug enough for a drive.
