[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Yeah, I'm actually working on another recovery with sub-menu's which group things together (that's for a next version).

I did this one rather fast because many people were asking for it... so I hope all is working like it should ;)
[G1 Android Development] priide:
Can this be flashed onto the Mytouch?
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Yes , that should work.

Try fastbooting it first without flashing to be sure :

fastboot boot recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.2.img
[G1 Android Development] shivers316:
No need to fastboot....I did it on mine the regular way with no problems.
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
run from shell means run terminal emulator?
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
will my current nandroid backup "the one i have on my card" work after I flashed the image?
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Yes.

Yes that should work.
[G1 Android Development] :
i did this and it works. but did i loose the recovery screen. when i hold home on boot it wont go into recover. and if i plug in usb it says FASTBOOT USB in red
[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
seems great so far, thanks!

Any chance of including bart.sh too? :)
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Weird... try fastboot erase recovery, then fastboot boot recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.2.img, then adb remount followed by adb flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.2.img
[G1 Android Development] Carloswithac:
Amazing work, man!
[G1 Android Development] kirkcody:

[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
DUDE!!!!! DUDE!!!! You are totally the man. I flashed through terminal, didnt think it worked. Rebooted into recovery and BAM OMG look at all those features.

You saved me at least 20min a flash with this. Talk about a noob friendly setup.

tmobile blocks sites

It seems that T mobile US, has blocked access to rapidshare and megaupload sites, i cant even connect to them, a blank page shows just saying uploading but nothing shows up. anyone else having this issue, even when i tether i cant connect with my desktop, can someone uploaded to another site thats not rapid share or megaupload. Plzzzzzz. Lol
[G1 Android Development] beanboi:
so it magically drained my battery when i used 1.2.3, but not when use 1.2.2?
[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
are you in the right thread?

You do realize we're talking about a recovery image, right? If you are you using a special mod recovery image with a browser in it, please share with the rest of us. Otherwise I have to agree that it seems unlikely to have anything to do with your battery issues.
[G1 Android Development] embracelb:
any STEP by STEP guides on how to apply the steps on the Ramon's RA recovery to start fresh on wiping a SD card &then partitioning it? i got a 8GB memory card but i'm not sure if i partitioned it right the first time, it does show a primary storage &secondary storage but i'm still iffy on my procedure, it was my first time. I want to wipe my SD, reformat, 8GB memory card so 512MB to EXT2? then eventually 3?4? &the rest FAT32 i think thats right. All i know is that 512MB for EXT2?3?4? should be more than enough i could have up to 500APPS &probably still not fill up the space. Help? I realized that all the zip's &folders data etc is on the SD CARD so if i power down &then HOME+END to go to recovery &the Amon Ra's recovery loads up &i choose the WIPE SD what then happens to my data i lose everything, can't i sort of be fckd if i don't do the steps correctly? What about like the nandroid folders &the zip's &what not? What happens to them in the process? I dont do a Wipe ext partition on SD-card or Wipe Dalvik-cache on SD-card (NOT on /data !) first to wipe it clean &start from scratch then do a Partition SD-card : 500MB Ext2, 32MB Swap, remaining Fat32 ? Sort of scared. Help? I want to be able to wipe my SD, &repartition it correctly using your recovery v1.2.3, 8gb memory card, i want to be able to do this 500MB Ext2, 32MB Swap, remaining Fat32 then eventually get Ext2 to Ext 3 or 4. Please help in any way?? Thanks in advance, send a msg or a reply post.

I am also curious to why you switched the swap from 96 to 32.
[G1 Android Development] problem1:
kuz 32 swap works better...... 96 for some roms makes it unstable

alright, i'll try it again.

[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
well 1.2.3 doesn't work for me, everything aborts once confirmed.... and I can't seem to get it working, any advice?
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
Glad to see no one has posted back to help me out.... Thanks everyone....
[G1 Android Development] coredalae:
1. have some patience

2. prob a bad download, redownload and reflash, should work.
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
Tried to reflash several times with 1.2.2 and 1.2.3, no such luck.
[G1 Android Development] futango:
How are you trying to flash this?

This is what I did.

1. Download the recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img file.

2. Change the name to recovery123.img.(easier to type)

3. Connect your phone and mount it. Place the file in the sdcard

4. Disconnect and open Terminal Emulator

5. type "SU" enter, then type "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery123.img"

6. then "reboot recovery"

7. takes you to recovery menu and there it is.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Dont be a dickhead.......maybe you would get more help if you gave more information. What phone are you trying this one would be a start. I try to help everyone that I can. I could not answer your vague question.
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
Well I was more detailed in my previous post, don't go calling people names, it only shows your own ignorance. It's nice though to see how hardcore people can get with a keyboard.

Anyways... gonna try

futango's method of flashing as I've been trying to do this on the console in the recovery up to now.

Thanks again futango
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
I keep getting the dread no such file in directory error
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
renamed them again to recovery1 without a space and it worked. Weird. Thanks for the help.
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
alright so 1.2.2 works fine for me on the g1, and 1.2.3 craps out at any command other than turning usb on and off, everything else aborts as soon as confirmed.
[G1 Android Development] bulletproof77:

Amazing! You devs keep making this phone look better and better by the day! Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Press HOME to confirm... not the GREEN key, it helps to read.
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
I tried flashing RA's recovery image, and it says error reading image. Now when i go into recovery, it just stays on the bootlogo screen.

If anyone can help, can youplease give me the ADB commands to flash it on my phone, thank you and much appreciated

Specify Partition Size

Dude, This really an awesome recovery tool.

The one thing that would be awesome would be if you could specify the size of the swap partition.

Some ROMs say 96mb, some 64mb etc.

Just a suggestion for the next release if its possible.

Again, thanks for doing awesome work.
[G1 Android Development] jndd333:
LOVE this recovery image!!! takes a lot less time to partition sdcards with it vs gparted on ubuntu!!! 1 click! THANX!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] hiroots:
sorry Alucardis i have to lol @ u. hope you got everything working good tho. one thing you could fix is move the options for making new parts for your card to the bottom. idk how many times i gently brush the track ball pressing it to selete the highlighted potion. and it asks me to part. lol so im very hesitent when using the recovery, gotta read before pushing the confirm button.

or to select which options to show or hide.

Partioning SDcard

if i run sdparted v0.5.3 from Amon Ra's Recovery v1.2.3 , which of the 2 methods do i apply?

GOAL: fresh start, wipe 8gb SD clean, end up with 8gb microSDHC with swap=32M ext4=512M fat32=remaining free space

REFERENCES:

Amon Ra's Recovery v1.2.3

Amon Ra's Recovery v1.2.3 Options Display Photo

SDparted v0.5.3

METHOD 1

STEP 1. Turn off phone

STEP 2. Put into Recovery mod [Amon Ra's Recovery v1.2.3] by holding "HOME+END" key

STEP 3. GO TO CONSOLE

STEP 4. press ENTER then type "sdparted"

STEP 5. type "mount /sdcard"

STEP 6. then type "mv /sdcard/sdparted.txt /sbin/sdparted"

STEP 7. then type "chmod 755 /sbin/sdparted"

STEP 8. last step is to type "sdparted -efs ext4"

STEP 9. type "reboot" from console

-phone will reboot normally like i originally had it with the flashed 4.0.4 CMrom & work properly. Then i just drag the existing files that I copied on my desktop back onto my SDcard?

OR

METHOD 2

STEP 1. Turn off phone

STEP 2. Put into Recovery mod [Amon Ra's Recovery v1.2.3] by holding "HOME+END" key

STEP 3. GO TO CONSOLE

STEP 4. press ENTER then type "sdparted"

STEP 5. type "sdparted -efs ext4"

STEP 6. type "reboot" from console

-phone will reboot normally like i originally had it with the flashed 4.0.4 CMrom & work properly. Then i just drag the existing files that I copied on my desktop back onto my SDcard?

QUESTIONS

QUESTION 1: Are my steps correct considering i'm using SDparted from the Amon Ra's Recovery v1.2.3?, IF NOT may you please list the correct steps.

QUESTION 2: Is that all i do? Meaning I've wiped the card clean because once i start sdparted v0.5.3 it automatically wipes it &by applying those steps I now have an 8gb microSDHC with swap=32M ext4=512M fat32=remaining free space on my microSDHC card, correct?

QUESTION 3: Is it alright if i'm using a SANDISK 8gb microSDHC class 2 card? I plan to get a A-DATA or TRANSCEND 8gb microSDHC Class 6 this weekend.

I would just use these options that automatically come up on the recovery but i'm not quite sure what order or steps to do the process.

-Wipe ext partition on SD-card

-Wipe Dalvik-cache on SD-card (NOT on /data !)

-Partition SD-card : 500MB Ext2, 32MB Swap, remaining Fat32

-Repair ext filesystem

-Convert ext2 to ext3

If you would like to help in using these STEPS over using the STEPS in console to use the SDparted script please be free to HELP and list the steps.

CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP, DETAILED INFORMATION WOULD BE GREAT. POST A REPLY OR SEND A MSG. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I NEED HELP, everytime i type in fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-dream-1.2.2.img

i get a bunch of options...what options should i type in to flash the recovery through adb?
[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
i did that in the console but instead of mount -a which wasn't working till i tried mount -j which is my sd letter it worked, then typed in flash recovery blah blah blah it worked like a charm.
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
I have the recovery img in root of my SDCARD. and when i connect my phone, and go into fastboot mode, and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-dream-v1.2.3.img" it gives me a bunch of other lists.

what should i do?
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
The recovery image should be located in the directory you are running fastboot from if you want to use the commandline you just posted.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Sdparted is available in the recovery image. Just run it from the console prompt.
[G1 Android Development] Pudgy49902:
just looking at the list of options gets me happy....lol...i will try this..only if CM can put a "Mount USB" option on his recovery....i hate going to console n having to type commands all day.... :D
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
que??

can you noob it up a bit sorry...
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
que parte de mi respuesta no entiende?

you cant access the file if it is on your sdcard in the phone. Fastboot is run from your PC. The command you posted was "fastboot flash recovery name_of.img" So in order to do it that way the recovery image has to reside in the directory you are running the fastboot command from.
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
i don't know where my fastboot directory is...i'm new to ADB, i usually just do everything from terminal, or console.
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
doesn't boot?

IGNORE ME!!!! -Marik Ishtar, Yugioh The Abridged Series ;) episode 40-41
[G1 Android Development] superg05:
can this be done in terminal that would be great since it requires u go from a custom already and if u don't have one then what? i don't wanna mess up my phone trying
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
oh oops thanks very much
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Method 2, sdparted is already installed in my recovery so there's no need to do all the steps you mention in step 1.

Q1 : Steps are correct.

Q2 : Jup, that's all you need to do.

Q3 : It will work but it will be slow when you use apps2sd etc...

-Wipe ext partition on SD-card : deletes everything on your ext partition

-Wipe Dalvik-cache on SD-card (NOT on /data !) : deletes the dalvik-cache on your sd, only use this if you moved the dalvik-cache to your sd.

-Partition SD-card : 500MB Ext2, 32MB Swap, remaining Fat32 : does what it says it does.

-Repair ext filesystem : does what it says it does.

-Convert ext2 to ext3 : does what it says it does.

I'm not sure which info you need more.

Advice : Try out things, experiment, open the scripts and read what's inside... this is the only way you'll learn things.

(Please don't use big fonts, it will not help you in getting a faster response, people will just ignore you more if you do that).

I had a quick noob question. After creating ext2 thru recovery can I immediatley upgrade to ext3? or should I reboot and let a2sd do its thang then upgrade? I'm on 4.1.999 with m_blend theme. Thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
you can upgrade immediately

Either way is fine I think, but a lot of folks seemed to have been struggling with Ext 2 on CM 4.1.999 so you might as well upgrade without booting in between.
[G1 Android Development] blackknightavalon:
I had problems with EXT2 on 4.1.999. I had to open up gparted, reformat to EXT3, and put my apps back on the partition.

By the way, just flashed the recovery via console. It certainly runs better than Cyanogen's 1.4 image, and that's saying a lot.
[G1 Android Development] karthikjr:
I'm stunned speechless.

Back when I was running Cyan 1.4 (and I consider this to be a good long while ago), partitioning my brand new 8G SD card required me to download Ubuntu (all 800MB or something of it), burn a Live CD and run gparted.

I just formatted my brother's 8G SD card from your recovery using

the menu option. Couldn't have taken more than 120seconds from

start to finish. Thank you for the amazing Recovery! :)

Amazing, amazing work.
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
I've searched the thread and didn't see any mention of adding switchrom to the main recovery rather than having to go though console. This doesn't bother me as I have a G1 but I bought my wife a MT3G and obviously doesn't have a keyboard. Is there any chance that it could be added?
[G1 Android Development] medicmark75:
thanx jacsonmoore3
[G1 Android Development] medicmark75:
uhhhh isn't it what i said
[G1 Android Development] cleveland danner:
Ya I've been having a ton of problems with ext2 and ext3. Everything is laggy, I'm getting random reboots and it just well sucks. Ext3 wasn't even operable. Its probably just a bad sd card. Will partitioning down to fat32 thru recovery format my card? Also is this safe to do? Got 6GB of music that I don't wanna lose/have to copy again. Thanks in advance.

If this doesn't belong in this thread then my bad

UPDATE: partitioned back down to fat32 and my phone is back to normal. I'm guessing that my sd card is on its way out or a class 4 is to slow to run a2sd

Is there no resize script?
[G1 Android Development] papisky226:
great recovery really easy to flash. looks exactly like the htc one i had to flash at first to run cyan 4.1.99 +
[G1 Android Development] FrostedTreat:
So I tried installing this 2 ways....one was the console under the current recovery image (Cyan 1.4) and it would not install...

Second was loading the actual OS (Cyan 4.1.99) and going into terminal emulator and trying to install...it currently stated it could not find the file...but I verified it's on the SD card...

Attempted to reboot phone holding HOME and no recovery comes up and I am stuck at my boot screen...pull battery and the OS will load if I don't hold anything at all...

I am guessing Fastboot to try and load the recovery image?
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Point me to a resize script using parted and I will see what I can do to include it in the utility menu.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
While you're taking requests, how about a BKMOd including bart0.9.3? Thanks!

EDIT: Instead of wasting another post:

:) Already have it on my phone. I modded the bart backup/restore to show the nandroid backup output. I'll up it and change my signature link.

I left nandroid-mobile.sh with the default option to not backup recovery in order that switchrom and the nandroid backups do not touch the recovery.
