[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jitin.51112:
plz help engage-me

i m having jet 2.1 rom installed on my micromax a60, i had ur 2.5 recovery installed, but today i tried to install recovery v5, i just downloaded that image and installed through recovery manager, but the phone rebooted and got stuck at the micromax logo, i tried then to do a factory reset, but the factory reset was not done, the phone again rebooted and again got stuck at the micromax logo, i took off the battery and restarted it, i thought there might be some problem with this version of recovery, i tried to install the older one but the phone reboots everytime i try this procedure, plz help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngage_me:
2.1 (eclair) recovery v5 is working fine on froyo.. most of us is using the same..

2.2 (foryo) recovery v5 is mostly for claro user cauz there partition map is different....

So plz use 2.1 (eclair) recovery v5
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngage_me:
Replied u back on a PM thread u sent me...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Amusaw:
yup its true. the 2.1 recovery is good for both eclair and froyo.

i was able to flash as well as take a backup of froyo ports.

but i faced a problem wid jet 1.1 after i flashed and rebooted it was stuck on the logo..:p

do any of u guys have a pure stock nand backup(by pure i mean no custom themes or any other apps integrated)...

Again thanks for this recovery dude.. I owe U one...

ngage did u post a request to koush regarding adding a60 cwm recovery in his rom manager?

sent from iPhone4s
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngage_me:
Nope... I had not.. my earlier ROM was purely built through source code.. this one is with lots of trick and mix of code build.. so not sure it can be added... bt nvr mind i can create update anytime.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngage_me:
A doubt from a friend...

Ignore the error of Recovery manager, it's shows because our recovery is not listed on their forums..

Yup u can very well backup/restore ROMs going through recovery console.... "Not Recovery manager"

Haven't you used the Old recovery shared by me???

I..didn't make a partition.of sdcard..i installed..custom recovery..and backup using recovery console..is it now can i do partion. Backup will

Work fine.or not..plz..help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] raghu hunter:
After partioning sd card all data will be lost sd card will be formatted so u will lose ur backup
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngage_me:
If you do partitioning using mini partition tool.. no data will be lost.. u hv to do it carefully

if you do via recovery.. sd card will be formatted.... Also I don't think any body hv tried it yet.. if u hv a spare SD card try it and let us knw the result :D

Also your backup will work fine as it has backuped up.. boot.img, system.img, data.img cache.img nd recovery too.... provided u take backup of the folder as it is where the backup is stored "clockworkmod" and after u format/partition sd card, put back this folder and restore via recovery...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shafi2011:
After..partion..can i use old backup ..i mean the backup done..

before partion....

Or else...again i have to backup
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngage_me:
i guess i replied above with clearity...

ur old backup should work....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngage_me:

Why do people need to switch between recoveries???

Why do people need to switch between recoveries??? I don't understand this thing....

Guys it's all new version that's it... it will work on 2.1 & 2.2 and also on future roms...

Flash any dam rom.. the recovery is not going to get effected... unless u wipe recovery partition in some rom...

so jst use the new recovery no problem at all... we don't need the old one that's it...

@ngage_me can you teach me how to compile cwm recovery without compiling cm roms. I wont to compile cwm recovery for optimus me but i don't wont to download cm source plzz help me
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngage_me:
i am not sure if ur recovery is properly flashed via that tool.. also it seems u r on Eclair 2.1 not on 2.2 cauz if u r on 2.2 u'll not be able to connect through the tool...

plz follow this...

1. Install recovery manager from market.

2. connect to android download tool and erase ur recovery.. jst erase no upload...

3. boot ur phone and install the recovery from "recovery manager", this new recovery should be kept under "recoveryy" folder of ur sd card..

surely it will work...

It's the same old "Recovery manager" app need to be used..., Ignore the warring message.. cauz i have not contented our recovery in kausihk list it says so.. it will be installed properly...

Where does the recovery manager look for the recovery.img when u go to "install recovery" option??? it's the place where u hv to put this image...

Incase u find it problematic.. i'll think i should share a flashable zip file... let me knw the status...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngage_me:
Sure i would love to do that...

Sure would luv to teach u....

But i downloaded the cm sources and then compiled only recovery.... by passing "zIamge" extracted from boot.img as per-built kernel...

The procedure is mentioned on kaushik site "my brain hurts" don't remember the exact site name...

Let me know which version of recovery u have currently and if u can share me ur boot.img, recovery.img (taken from old recovery backups) and also the result of "cat /proc/mtd" partition details, plus "cat /proc/mounts" details.. i can try to build the recovery for you. also i would like to try a quick way of recovery building..

The easiest way which i have in mind.. if that is success i can share that as a tutorial...

Also let me knw the resolution details of ur phone.. a site reference abt the phone will be much better...

Cheers & Thanks.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngage_me:
OK cool... since u r already on v5, y u want to build the same recovery again???

or is that u just want to learn of making recovery???

yes u can do that with adb also.. when u got to adb shell...

else u can try this in ur terminal "cat /proc/mounts > /sdcard/mounts.log" it will create a file in ur sdcard with name mounts.log attach the file her :D

can you to "cat /proc/mtd" in terminal and share me the details...

Follow the process i asked one of the guy above to ur post...

seems smthng u r messing...

also u r on which rom and downloaded which recovery.. share me the name...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngage_me:
Congrats!!

Hey gr88 that u actually made some progress....

The error looks very straight to me... and that is permission...

If i am not wrong u r running on ubuntu... by default on ubuntu 'root' user is disabled.. though we do "sudo" but still not all internal .sh files are launched with sudo command...

so u hv 2 options:

1. Go to terminal.. type "sudo terminal" this should launch another terminal with sudo permissions.. try compiling again...

2. enable root on ubuntu and then login as root (there are tutorial on how to enable root on ubuntu, plz google)..

Note: before u build again don't forget to do make clobber ... better to clean everything :D

Also you need not to do these always...

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread

repo sync

but

repo sync is not a problem

@adi_2012 & reala60..

I want you to follow these step and install the recovery and take rom backup... I assume that u r on default recovery... rooted ur system and busybox installed(optional)....

I want you guys to try it on default recovery... ur default recovery will be restored once u reboot d fone...

1. make sure u hv enough space in sdcard atleast 350MB

2. download the zip i have sent u via PM.

3. extract the update.zip and copy to sdcard.. not inside any folder..

4. boot into recovery and install the zip using "apply update from sdcard" option.

5. A new recovery will be installed....

6. DO NOT REBOOT UR PHONE.. else ur default recovery will be reverted..

7. Using the new recovery take a backup of ur rom.. share me boot.img and recovery.img....

8. To check if all the functions are working, check mounting of all data, system, cache, sdcard, sd-ext (if u hv partition)....

Warning: follow the instruction strictly, don't blame me for any data loss.. DONOT FORMAT ANY OF THE PARTITION OR TRY TO RESTORE THE BACKUP UNLESS I BUILD A PROPER RECOVERY...
