[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
Droid Turbo Think Tank

The main purpose of this thread is to discuss possible ideas for development and exploitation of the Motorola Droid Turbo. Topics can range from ideas on how to accomplish certain mods as we are trying to bake them into images to ways to flash different files to unlocking the BL. I am by no means an expert and I have some ideas I'd like to share with others on various topics. There is alot of hostility on this board, lets build some community!

I do not however have total knowledge so I lack some skills to know if what I am saying is even possible. I am simply an android enthusiast, technologically inclined individual, and engineering student.

I will start us off: Since we have root permissions would it be possible to just dd a replacement recovery to the recovery partition, or even a modified bootloader. Or is that something R/W would prohibit/ not keep after a reboot? Would we be able to nandroid and restore/ install if we even could get a replacement recovery without the unlocked B/L?

Recovery Image DD:

dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfile.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p36

Here is a list of the partitions along with their name

If a more knowledgeable user would comment on this I'd appreciate it! :D
