Introduction

Hi. Before continuing, what is recovery? Your Android device has 6-10 partitions. They are boot, recovery, system, misc and many more. Recovery is a partition like them. In this tutorial, we'll edit a recovery IMG ramdisk without compiling it from source.

Let' s Begin!

We'll just edit the ramdisk of recovery. So what is ramdisk? Ramdisk is a small partition in recovery img. It manages and contains init files. A normal ramdisk contains these files and folders :

./init.trout.rc
./default.prop
./proc
./dev
./init.rc
./init
./sys
./init.goldfish.rc
./sbin
./sbin/adbd
./system
./data

A recovery ramdisk contains extra files. :

./res
./res/images
./res/images/progress_bar_empty_left_round.bmp
./res/images/icon_firmware_install.bmp
./res/images/indeterminate3.bmp
./res/images/progress_bar_fill.bmp
./res/images/progress_bar_left_round.bmp
./res/images/icon_error.bmp
./res/images/indeterminate1.bmp
./res/images/progress_bar_empty_right_round.bmp
./res/images/icon_firmware_error.bmp
./res/images/progress_bar_right_round.bmp
./res/images/indeterminate4.bmp
./res/images/indeterminate5.bmp
./res/images/indeterminate6.bmp
./res/images/progress_bar_empty.bmp
./res/images/indeterminate2.bmp
./res/images/icon_unpacking.bmp
./res/images/icon_installing.bmp
./sbin/recovery

So we know contents of ramdisks, let' s edit a recovery!

First, you must use Linux for this. I prefer Ubuntu 12.04+. Then, install Gzip and Gunzip packages to unpack recovery IMG. Then find and download a recovery IMG for your device. I prefer; download CWM image because TWRP isn't basic. You can download CWM from here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager.

Unpacking the recovery image

Create a new directory on your desktop. Then download and put these Perl scripts to that directory( Perl scripts are in zip files. Extract those scripts! ): http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=128714&d=1226283768 and http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=128715&d=1226283768 . Then put your downloaded recovery image to the same folder and rename it to recovery.img . Then open a terminal console and navigate it to your folder. Run unpack script with this command ( Just enter this command when you're in the your new directory on terminal ) :

unpack-bootimg.pl

And finally, we unpacked the recovery image. Note that these scripts should work for all partition images.

Editing the ramdisk

Now, we unpacked the image that means you can edit he ramdisk. Go to ramdisk-recovery.img folder. That is ramdisk of our recovery image. So you're free! Edit as you like. Just tamper the ramdisk and other folders. By the way, recovery PNGs are in the /res/images/ ( In ramdisk folder ) folder. After editing the ramdisk let' s pack the recovery image;

Repacking

To repacking the image just enter this command in terminal ( Don't forget to navigate your directory using this command; cd /UserName/Desktop/FolderName ) :

repack-bootimg.pl

Congrats! You just edited the recovery ramdisk ;) . Don' t forget to use Thanks button :) . You can install the IMG file using Fastboot.

Don't know what's happening, but my windows 8.1 laptop refuses to recognize my xperia mini pro when in fastboot. Literally had no problem when flashing kernels in my old windows 7 laptop. Tried literally everything I can think of.

1. disable driver signature verification in win 8.1

2. install all drivers from flashtool (interestingly I do not see sk17i in the device list maybe that's the problem)

3.install drivers from pc companion (connects normally in media transfer, but not in fastboot)

4.installed andriod sdk

5.modified win_usb file with sony's version (my laptop doesn't prompt me to install drivers when I plug my mini pro in fastboot)

6. turned off mtp mode and turned on debugging.

Additional info: my mini pro is running pac man 4.3

What else am I'm missing? This is basically my last resort after hours of searching. I will be extremely grateful for any assistance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kaarthi:
even i faced the same problem... the problem is not due to device drivers, its due to WINDOWS 8.1:(

microsoft have changed the working of USB controller.....microsoft may release patch for it....i reverted back to win7 :cool:

i came across many fourms discussing abt the same problem.

try this .. it may help..

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] n.inacio:
Well, I rooted, flashed, fastbooted (and everything else) my sk17i on my Windows 8.

I don't believe that they changed something as deep as the USB drivers/protocols whatever to 8.1

I takes many times dough, to make it.

1st. you should have the driver signing disabled on Windows

2nd. you connect the device and it asks for the drivers

3rd. you install the drivers while the fastboot ends

4th. you try again and it luckily will work.

As a tip keep "Device Manager" on Windows opened and enable "View\Show Hidden Devices" so that you can see the grayed uninstalled driver.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cs098:
Well I did all of that if you read the first post.

So you're saying sometime it doesn't take and you have it do it repeatedly?

Okay Will try :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] n.inacio:
What I'm saying is that the hard part is to get the drivers working.

To install them you only have this "ghost" driver request on the device manager that you can only see if you enable the "show hidden devices".

It took me many tries and errors to get it right.

Another thing I just remenber: if you installed a bad driver it will also not work, so wen you want to install a new one you have do unistall the previous wtih the option of "deleting the files from your computer". This from device manager, of course.

If I could do it then it's possible, right?

Why not? I mean, what does xda have a search function for? Just open the thread, and search inside the thread for "Note 3" for example and you'll be fine. Lazyness is no excuse for opening new threads ;)

I recently faced trouble finding the call settings option on my Android 4.0.4 for my need to divert my calls to another number. I my shock it isn't already present in the system settings menu. After hours of searching here and there it was under or hidden under keypad. :cool:

1. Bring up your stock android phone keypad dialer

2. Tap Menu

3. Voila! There is the call setting option. :D

Android, in process of creating more easily accessible options is in turn making it difficult to find the same and hence the paradox. :confused:

Hope, the solution helps to those in need. :good:

I have tried everything possible to get this stupid phone to update the firmware and had enough to but honest.

Tired disabling driver signing and it installs the phone as a mass storage device. tried using flash tool looked at every forum i can regards this problem if i had a pc with XP i bet it would work.

anyone got any ideas.
[HTC ChaCha] jasonhill1981:
Hello I have an HTC ChaCha that has a custom rom is already unlocked and rooted.

I would like the phone to auto turn on and startup up for normal use when the phone is plugged in to charge.

The reason for this is I want to use the phone as a car GPS tracker on my car.

I will wire in a spare charger behind the dash, but if the battery goes flat so with mod if some one was to take and drive the car the phone would turn on and start up I could then take and locate car.

Thank you in advance :)
[HTC ChaCha] didije:
I am 99% positive that cm7 is doing that. If the phone is off, it will turn on by itself when you plug in the charger.

I'm curious, did anyone buy the phone for the ability to draw on it? I was excited to see they included replacement nibs with the note3.

I've drawn on all three notes, and the note 3 has some really good pressure sensitivity, better then my cintiq at times.

Anyone else want to share any drawings or other art they've done on it so far, or even the Note 1 or 2?

You can see mine here.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mike208:
I don't have very good drawing skills, but I did just find an app called flipaclip(maybe everyone else already knows about it, idk)it allows you to draw flip book style clips. Pretty neat and fun

You are talented. Very nice drawings. :good:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theorioles33:
Awesome drawings! Can you do some on the Note 3 and show us how they come out?

EDIT! Duh! I see that you said those were done on the Note 3. Lol! Very cool! What app do you use?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Archaenon:
I'll have to give it a whirl, sounds pretty neat.

To everyone else, thanks. Also the programs I used are Sketchbook pro/mobile (which amusingly enough I don't like for desktop), and Artflow, both very good programs for the note line of tablets and phones. It allows for full blown drawing and rendering in a tiny app.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] butchieboy:
WOW!!! Great art work. Im glad to see that people have been sharing what this great phone can do.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zanson:
I'm in no way an artist. But I do enjoy drawing on this phone. Its something I used to do a lot to relax when I had a notepad on me but I haven't carried a pen and paper with me for years. Its nice to be able to draw again and just doodle whenever I feel like it and not have to plan on bringing anything more with me.

Here is something I drew a few days ago. Just getting used to the program.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] x2h:
That pen is pretty capable. Interesting .
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zanson:
Yea the sensitivity is nice. Once you get used to the program brushes and customize the size for the pressure you use. Its nice.

My fiance is an animator, usually works on the cintiq, and has the note 2 and loves the pen. One of the reasons she got the phone was because of the wacom tech.
