noob in trouble please help :S
[G1 Android Development] MentalDeath:
The only difference between the two recoveries is the back screen look at the first post. If one doesn't work I don't see why the other would, not to mention you need an Engineering SPL. Follow this to get an Engineering SPL. Btw is your phone a Rogers Dream? If it isn't do not use the recovery with the "R" at the end.
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
People, pls read more before starting to flash!

You are on SPL 1.33.0013d. What is written in the OP of ezterry? -> This SPL is a perfected SPL, you will not be able to flash a radio or recovery with it ...

Pls read the OP of ezterry's ram-hack thread, then it should be clear, what to do.

Hi Firerat

I want to install amon_ra recovery on my G1,

my current setup is

hboot-1.33.0013d

radio 2.22.28.25

clockworkmod recovery

I am trying to flash the recovery image from fastboot but it gives me an error "file not signed" or something like that

I downloaded it from this post by amon_RA but its not working for me

I don't know if it is the file itself or what

please help
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Pls read the answer two posts ago ...
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
read post just above yours, once you have flashed SPl 1.33.0013b you CAN'T use

fastboot flash

solucion is in the same thread OP: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
its already been pointed out that you can't fastboot flash with 1.33.0013(d)

use adb shell to

mount /sdcard
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

or grab a flashable one from my Flashable recovery collection

http://www.mediafire.com/?eufe1p61c8pny

they will automatically use customMTD if you use it
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
So it automatically patches your recovery on a spl you can't flash the recovery with, oh good thinking...
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
Muppet

you can flash via recovery, just not via fastboot

I swear you get dumber every day
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
you can flash your recovery with your recovery? If you want to get into name calling how about a**h**e
[G1 Android Development] MentalDeath:
Damn you G1 guys get along well neh?
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
Well when someone wants me to patch my recovery, and then have to use adb shell to restore my recovery if need be (which is not a very good option do to low memory issues with the g1), it seems like my phone could be more at risk.
[G1 Android Development] MentalDeath:
I guess IMO the G1 is a pain in the ass well at least compared to my Hero it is.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yes

you can flash recovery via recovery.

and you can flash recovery with a flashable zip via recovery

you are just getting dumber and dumber

go winzip a new rom or something
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
Wrong

you don't understand

recovery doesn't have the Andriod overhead

I scripted a recovery flash via CM5/6 for those who tried to flash via cm5/6 rom

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...to-recovery/page__st__40__p__21996#entry21996

it works because I understand more than you ever will

go play with photoshop
[G1 Android Development] MentalDeath:
Ignore post...
[G1 Android Development] metalfangs:
It would help if we could try and keep this thread related to the recovery and not your personal flame wars...
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
The only common denominator in all the *****ing threads is sparksco. Its one thing to get annoyed with straight up noobs. Its quite another to deal with someone who tries to sound like they know what they are talking about when they obviously don't.
[G1 Android Development] jhr5474:
I followed these instructions

for terminal and for console, and I get nothing? I already have Rom manager premium and anon RA 1.7 but I want the cyanogen one. HELP
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
Thats awesome Firerat. I did exactly that and I was able to flash recovery via adb.

Thanks a lot
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yeah

just remember Sparksco's posts are for entertainment purposes only, pay no real attention to them

if you use his rom.. don't !
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I don't use either of those, photoshop or wizip. I don't use windows at all. Just because I don't know a lot about recovery flashing, BFD
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
I never said it wouldn't work, I just said it's not the preferred way because I've had low mem errors doing this before on my g1. You and Lithid should really hook up sometime, become best of friends and all that, because you guys are both...
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
lol

wtf are you bleeting about low mem errors?

did you read something about cm5 and get it mixed up?

everytime you type you make yourself look even more stupid

please stop before I split my sides
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
tbh, I think you should use windows

Linux seems to be taking its toll on you

Linux *is* better, but may require more brain power, something you seem to be lacking .. perhaps if you use windows your brain won't be so strained and you will not be quite so dumb
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
You don't know what low mem errors in adb shell look like, ok, guess I'm not the dumb one now. You and Lithid should hook up, because you are both...And no the errors are on cm6, not "5"
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
lol

yes, cm5 and cm6

not recovery :P

you fail, again
[G1 Android Development] bemymonkey:
This thread is awesome!

And for your information, I use Windows and still don't have enough brain power left over for recovery level stuff :D :p
[G1 Android Development] arefin:
what does that mean? what steps will be gone if I use this recovery while flashing new rom or restoring one?

please :)
[G1 Android Development] MentalDeath:
Okay I don't like ClockworkMod Recovery so is there anyway I can get this to work on my stupid Rogers G1?

::EDIT::

LOL I am a moron I changed the radio to 2.xx and tried to install the Rogers version of the recovery so when I reverted back to a 3.xx recovery it worked.... yay I figured it out :D
[G1 Android Development] old_dude:
Just as an fyi, if you use the Rom Manager app, it allows you to switch between ra-1.7.0 recovery and the latest clockworkmod recovery by flashing the recovery right from the Rom Manager app.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
just fyi

if you do that with cm5/6 you will probably not be able to boot into recovery
[G1 Android Development] SpeedNi:
one of the best tools available, thanks
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
technically clockwork is better
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
agree, but don't enable usb on x64 windows => reboot's pc (tried on a few pcs).

was wondering if anyone had done this on the adp1? i have just picked one up and am trying to upgrade to 2.2. ran the install via fastboot, command line says it wrote ok.

when i reboot the phone it doesn't pick up the new recovery.. was wondering if anyone could point me to somewhere that could help with what is going on for me?

[G1 Android Development] KoolKidsKlub:
Hey Amon_Ra, I love your recovery and I'm going to be moving on to a G2 next week so I was wondering if you have plans to make a recovery for the G2. It's not that I have anything against the Clockwork Recovery but I'm just so used to your's as I've been using it ever since I rooted my G1 and I would really prefer to use a recovery that I'm familiar with and I don't really like the layout of the Clockwork Recovery. So do you have any plans to make a recovery for the G2/Vision?
[G1 Android Development] n1ey:
Is there anyone in the Boston area that could walk me through upgrading to Anon_Ra in person?

When I try to boot RA-dream I only get this screen:

Please help :confused:
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
you don`t have amon-ra`s recovery. tell us what did you do. root/flash_image recovery/reboot with home key pressed.
[G1 Android Development] xam4:
Hi, thanks for the fast answer! I did all you said!
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
what`s before and after flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img ?

that should be the step that "installs" amon-ra`s recovery. what rom you have? i know there were some issues on cm5XX (and those based on that). when you ran flash_image command, did you received any memory errors?i can`t help with no more info.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
its a brand new phone

without RA they would not be able to flash cm5

and cm5 wouldn't work as it needs the dangerSPL

+ flash_image recovery in cm5 will result in no recovery!

despite what the guy says they have not rooted, and/or they have not flashed a custom recovery
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i admit that i don`t remember well. but ... recovery_testkeys.img doesn`t look tha same as the stock recovery? the only difference will be that recovery_testkeys.img have "flash any zip" option.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
look at the pic

it still has the retail packaged protective film on it

makes me think it is a brand spanking new phone

and that RA has not been flashed to it

poster has not given details of how they flashed RA, they just said they did.

I'm saying they didn't , because.. well they haven't
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
and if we keep it on, a brand new phone will not have so many air bubbles on the protective film. :D
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yeah

but people pull it off, see a perfectly pristine screen, panic and put it back on ;)
[G1 Android Development] cesarbric:
Is there a version of amonra for G2? Have been looking around and only see clockwork, any info will be appreciated. Thx

[G1 Android Development] mahroze:
i did it but it says to delete the image after a successful flash
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
no it doesn't

because you failed to pass the correct number of options (it requires 2 or 3 , you only gave 1 )

it presented you with the correct syntax

flash_image [-d] <partition> <image file>

-d is optional , it deletes the .img when it is done.
[G1 Android Development] HyeProfile:
I heard Amon_RA was updating some of his recoveries on newer phones to add better wipe options (he had posted a pic on Twitter with new wipe options, if I'm not mistaken)... I bugged him about it on Twitter and he said he'd look at updating the D/S recovery and adding similar wipe option,

if he had time

... Maybe some of you can give him a ring on Twitter, and remind him :rolleyes:

Edit: his Twitter name is "Amon_RA"

i have tmobile g1 UK. It is sim unlocked. I have rooted it.I then flashed this recovery. I am able to get to recovery. BUT when i try to do 'flash zip from sdcard' i get :

[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Are you sure that your sd-card isn't broken, or at least that the file system isn't corrupt? Did you try to read the sd-card with a pc / card reader?
[G1 Android Development] drjat:
card is working well and pc can read it when g1 is booted/connected
[G1 Android Development] drjat:
What is going on

I finally managed to get my sd card working. (See above few posts)

I partitioned my sdcard then applied update of radio.zip but now i am in recovery and it has been saying 'Formatting CACHE' for quiet some time now.

I rebooted and went into bootloader....the radio was updated. Then i went into recovery and flashed hspl.zip it is again saying 'Formatting CACHE'. I rebooted and entered bootloader..........the hspl was installed. I then did similar with danger spl.........still says 'formatting cache'........I rebooted.......the danger spl was installed. i have flashed rom as well.........seems to be going ok so far.

Why was this problem hapenning? Would it have any 'long term' effects (like rom being unstable etc)?
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
No. It just does that. You just give it a min and do exactly what you did. You're all set
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I seem to recall an older version of a recovery... was it 1.4? 1.1? ...that would output what it was doing but never tell you success or fail. So, the last thing it was doing was a cache format, but since it never told you "success", you never knew it was done.

I also seem to recall a version where this behavior would still not show a success/fail message but WOULD show the menu with options. I remember staring at my G1 for five minutes sometimes, impatient as anything, wondering what was taking so long, until I realized I saw the menu and I would hit the trackball and then feel like an idiot for not realizing it sooner... :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Bump -- I'm curious, too. Anyone try it yet?
[G1 Android Development] MeZmeriZe_:
Hi Folks,

I've accidently blown away my ability to flash up to 1.2 (currently on 1.0 RC6) and it's all because I installed rom manager and used it to partition my SDCARD

In install clockwork mod and now my ability to use the recovery menu is gone... nothing happens, the phone just boots like normal.

Now I have fastboot and it works, but what I can't find, is a recovery image that is compatible with the radio version of ginger-yoshi.. I tried amon_RA but kept getting a checksum error when using fastboot.

sending 'recovery' (2642 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

Is there an easy way to get the xrecovery menu back or must I do it this way.. and if I need a recovery image to use fastboot, does anyone know of one that is compatible with ginger-yoshi? Sorry for appearing so dense, I'm used to using an X10 with CM7 and the backend is somewhat different (locked bootloader)

Saphire PVT 32B Ship S-ON G

HBOOT 1.33.0013d (SAPP10000)

RADIO-2.22.27.08

Basically, I have a working ginger-yoshi 1.0 RC6 except that it is missing a working recovery.. and I'd like to upgrade to 1.2 and make use if the new ext4 and swap partitions... what's the simplest way of getting there?

Many thanks

Frank

Use the terminal method on your phone for the recovery then reboot to recovery and check. U don't have ability to fastboot flash with that spl

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compliance:
So i have a friend that tried (and failed) to root his phone. Needless to say hes not very tech savy. He basically tried to install the cm-recovery-1.4 without root. As a result it erased his recovery and now is can't flash his phone.

Does anyone know of a way to install a stock, or otherwise, recovery image without having root?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
Reapply the DREAIMG.nbh in bootloader.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compliance:
That wont work. Becuase he tried to install the cm recovery without root it erased the bootloader.

No bootloader=no flash...Right?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
how exactly did he erase his spl and still manage to have a working phone.

bootloader=spl, bootloader is what you get when you power the phone on using camera and power. if you do not have a secondary processes loader then i can't see how the phone would do anything more then show the spalsh1 screen.

put the DREAIMG.nbh file on the root of sdcard and enter into bootloader (camera and power).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compliance:
when we try to enter the bootloader(power+camera) it just boots to the grey screen and says no image found and goes directly to the screen with red, blue, green bars and it shows the spl number. (i believe thats the splash screen)

His phone does still work which i find odd as well.

Before this happened he did the following commands (after copying the *.img to the sdcard)

su

"su access denided"

cd /sdcard

flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
can't you just flash the boot file from fastboot?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
the recovery image was never flashed since he did not have sudo access. is the image called DREAIMG.nbh exactly, is the sdcard formatted fat32, is your copy of the DREAIMG.nbh for your region and not corrupted.

the splash screen is the logo that pops up whenever you boot your phone up, nothing is wrong with the spl or bootloader screen, it just can't read the DREAIMG.nbh file.

one last thing, why would he cd /sdcard the type /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img that is redundant. the reason he should've cd'ed to /sdcard so is to not type /sdcard in the next command.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compliance:
Im pretty sure the sdcard is fat32 and we did have DREAIMG.nbh copied to it. I will check the partition and try everything agian.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:

In my depression that it's going to be a bit, before cyanogenmod puts out something new, I decided to play with a hero rom.

I assumed i had the latest radio and spl(I was wrong) so by and by, i install the rom and half way through it the install dies. OOPS

so now, my other phone with a microsd card was lost recently so I have no way of getting any other updates onto my phone or the new spl and radio.

but after a little research, I discovered that the cyanogenmod recovery 1.4 image has the ability to mount the flash storage through the console

whooohoooooo

I download the latest radio and spl, install them both and update my phone so i get to test out a hero rom.

so thanks cyanogenmod. because of your hard work I was able to muddle my way through an install without completely screwing myself over becasue I DIDN'T READ. Seriously, to everyone in the community who makes this stuff well so people out there can try all this stuff out is really great.

THANKS ALL!!!!
[G1 Android Development] jokersax11:
ok its simple we all know the benefits of more ram. we all know that android slices up the ram into static addresses within the kernel. i would like to change that as we are in 2009 almost 2010 and we still rely on static ram allocation for the camera, gpu, sensors, radio. the g1 has 192mb of ram. yet we only get 97 for programs to use. i would like to place the camera, gpu, etc into dynamic addresses that we can change within the os without flashing a new kernel. a service, kernel code, module, or any other method could do this. we just have to make it happen. we could do it three ways i see.

1. a system managed ram allocation using a service to detect the percentage used and increase ram on the go.

2. a kernel script or service that only activates and allocates ram when needed. such as once a 3d program is loaded the 8mb magically comes back.

3. a virtual device ram allocation service that makes the device think it has the ram all along, but only actually gets it when it needs it. kinda like the way apps2sd works.

4.(by IConrad01) run perl scripts through ase and use ksplice to patch the gpu1 memory in kernel. one script on and one for off.

any other methods to implement this proper are very welcome and encouraged.

the idea behind this is a proper way to get back more ram for our programs. the idea is simple when 3d is not in use we can used the 8mb it would have used for something else. this applys to everything that has its own ram. camera, etc. say we did this and only got 120 free. thats almost 25% more ram. plus we could go the extra step and let the user choose how much each thing gets(gpu settings 4mb,8mb,12mb. camera on, off. etc) so when it needs it thats what it gets. great if you like/dislike 3d games.

on another note this is the kind of work that gets you noticed. the kind that gets you hired or gets you respect. google would be proud and might implement it and you and i know it. i hope we are successful and google uses it mainstream.

so lets debate a way/ways to do this

provide alpha tests of different ways to do this

and finally lets post a beta so everyone can enjoy.

atm ksplice with perl scripts is where we are going will update as this progresses.
[G1 Android Development] jad011:
Doesnt Jacs update to his hero rom have this, im probably mistaken
[G1 Android Development] Nedlinin:
No. The current implementation of this basically cuts the graphics memory in half.

This would dynamically allocate the memory as needed. Much more efficient way of doing it.
[G1 Android Development] jokersax11:
he has a static change that takes the ram away from the gpu by a kernel edit. this is to have both more ram but still give the gpu what it needs to perform properly but only when it needs it or you chose to give it.
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
Are you referring to RAM or storage space? You say RAM in the title but then it sounds like you're talking about storage space before making me think it's RAM again later on. I'm confused :/ I'd really like additional free RAM, anything that helps reduce swapping to SD card is good but storage space I have plenty of.
