Because switchrom allows me to name my backup meaning that I can save multiple roms and know exactly what is what. Also makes restoring them easy work.

Won't let me download

Every time I try to download it says "download failed content not supported on this phon"

Am I doing something wrong

Please read the last few pages, all will become clear as your trying to download this on your phone.
[G1 Android Development] iWannaBeAdored:
Download this if you are on your phone, it is a Zip Archive with the .img in it.

rofl. This is badass
[G1 Android Development] darksideofdamoon:
Awesome, awesome work as usual. We all thank everyone who take time out of their days and nights to make Android better. I just need a bit of advice, however. I can only install the Recovery Image v1.6.2 sans Care Bears on my G1 through console :.( I've gotten the "no such file or directory" msg after flashing the other three. Someone, anyone, please help... I want Care Bears too. lol
[G1 Android Development] :
Download the colour of the carebear you want and put it on the root of your sdcard.

For me it was blue so I did as follows.

Opened terminal emulator.

Type - su (enter)

Type - flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2-blue.img (enter)

Type reboot (enter)

Boot into recovery and your greeted by a carebear, I have to ask who in hell thoughtt of adding a carbear? Lol
[G1 Android Development] zdiamant:
All right, I have been using BART for backup and recovery.. Should I be using switchrom instead, or are they pretty much the same? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] :
I personally prefer switchrom for the fact I can name my file 'SuperDv1.6-Darkstar-Themed'

But Bart lacks this and uses date format and can't remeber what else but could never remember what the hell was what :D
[G1 Android Development] :
switchrom is amazing, I have about 30 switchroms on my desktop! :D
[G1 Android Development] digitaljeff:
shadow, do you ever sleep? your like google, give a qestion and youll have an answer stat!

your the unofficial mod for xda... keep it up bro!

the Q/A for xda

./now waiting for a new recovery for magic users!
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
BART is switch ROM just it backs up the entire EXT where as SwitchROM only backs up the APKs. You need to remember both SwichROM and BART were designed to be run from the console Amon just added them to the UI of the recovery where you cant name the backup file but if you go into console and type "bart -s SuperD2.28.2010" it will create a backup with the name "SuperD2.28.2010". Search for the BART thread and you will see that it has every option that switchROM script does plus more because BART is just a modified switchROM script
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
wow 1.6.2 - could we get this for htc magic 32b please as well :o
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
too funny. I took a blue care bear
[G1 Android Development] tom_me:
hahaha i agree too funny but why a care bear....
[G1 Android Development] olvap377:
hey this looks really great, when can we expect the ebi1 "R" versions to become available?
[G1 Android Development] :
I know about Bart and have run into more than one problem using it, specially restoring! Hence why I prefer switchrom personally, never let me down and no matter how I set up each rom all settings, apps and everything else come back up without any issue or hassle. As they both do nandroid and ext backups it actually that which saves your apps and not the switchrom or Bart script and I ALWAYS double wipe before switching roms and have never lost an ounce of data using switchrom, Bart on the other hand is a whole other nightmare!

Bart & switchrom are nothing more than a wrap around nandroid now.
[G1 Android Development] zdiamant:
Thanks for all of your replies.. I use tend to use BART from "utility" run from console and have not run into any problems.
[G1 Android Development] olvap377:
i like to use nand + ext cause i can creat multiple and name them differently so i know what to restore
[G1 Android Development] njgheewala:
Fantastic! I took the Blue Care Bear!!!!
[G1 Android Development] :
You can't name nand as is numerical/date based save.

Where as bart and switchrom allow you to name the file before saving.
[G1 Android Development] Raziel2:
I'm waiting for Rogers's v1.6.2 , thanks for support :)
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
Just rename the file after, using your computer or even astro :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] :
Oh I love it when people try being clever with the rolling eyes crap.

Round of applause on the suggestion but for the straight edged ease of use switch rom and bart allow the function there and then. Not messing about booting your phone, opening an app, then the folder, then hit edit, hit rename and then renaming it.

Have you heard the phrase 'what a ball ache'?

*rolls eyes back to asb* as I told the last so called smart arse, put em back in and learn something useful rather than pointing out the bloody obvious and long ass winded way to do something.

:D
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Son of a...! lol I have great and worse timing. I just flashed 1.5.2 2 days ago and now this comes out...and I'm ecstatic! I just asked how to do something and BAM, it's now a feature. How real is that? Thanks for this. Now to decide which carebear to flash.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpster08:
Okay so i never post because I cant stand people filling up the forums with all sorts of non-sense but right now i am just drunk enough to say...

HELL YEA ITS ALL ABOUT THE Care-Bears!!!

anyone has something to say about it well I'm right here...:p

P.s. Thank you for all of your hard work.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
I can save you a lot of typing

mou<tab> -a
fl<tab> recovery /sd<tab>r<tab>

;)

if the first tab doesn't do anything, tab again to see what 'paths' are available

ps , to get tab on the dream do 'Alt' then 'q'

I couldn't find Download Crutch in the Market, so I had to hunt it down elsewhere. Since it's a free app, I don't think it's against the rules to attach it here.

Here are couple mirrors too:

[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
Dude take your head out your ass because a lot of bull crap is coming out your mouth man. you are being way to egotistical and sure of yourself.

look everyone has their preferences so get used to it. don't try to make them feel stupid just because they didn't do it your way. You damn hypocrite.

...That is all
[G1 Android Development] :
Hypocrite? God you make me laugh :D

Simple really someone wants to try being a smart arse I'll happily correct them in the manner in which they choose to speak with me.

Now if you wish to waffle some more at me and stick your nose in yet again to someone elses business, please pm me and I'll happily continue this there.

Now if you actually have anything to add to the thread other than trying to make me out to be a bad guy please go ahead. Otherwise keep it to pm please.

Now these carebears, are the different colours different carebears just out of interest or all the same?
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Not that it needed to be confirmed, but yes the Power Off option is golden. Especially appreciative of this Amon_RA.
[G1 Android Development] :
For anyone using switchrom (possibly bart too but need confirmation).

If you restore an old back up that you saved with say v1.5.2 it WILL change your recovery back to that version. Make sure to update your saves with the new rom image to avoid any confusion regarding this.

Unfortunatly the only way I know of doing it is loading each rom, flashing the recovery and then saving it again.

There may be another easier way which if anyone knows please post it for us :)
[G1 Android Development] 1r2R1:
do you know if there will be a G2/mt3g version of this recovery ?
[G1 Android Development] kathi17:
Our power has been off since Thursday, so I can't ADB. In terminal, the mount -a doesn't work, so as in 1.5.2, I just went to the flash part. I have checked and rechecked my spelling, including using the correct name for the blue file, and nothing happens. (Tried a bunch of times). Does it work for anyone without the mount -a command? I haven't tried in console yet, everything is difficult when you only have the phone to work with and can't use the computer.
[G1 Android Development] :
I never use mount -a, never has worked for me.

Goto terminal emulator and if you haven't renamed the file (you have the same as me with the blue) then try the following, I've just reflashed it so know it worked.

Type - su (enter)

Type - flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2-blue.img (enter)

Make sure that you use the capital letters for RA or it won't work as its case sensitive.

Hope this helps you out :)
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Mount -a is for the recovery console...
[G1 Android Development] :
That would explain never using it.

The OP needs to be editted as it currently states in the terminal code '#mount -a'

Hence the confusion for some users.
[G1 Android Development] kathi17:
Thanks guys, Shadow, that is exactly what I was typing before, but tried it again from your thread. Now it is telling me the image is not found, even though it is on the root of my sd card, and is the same name. I will try downloading again in case I got a bad download, and I will also go back in with astro and make sure (again, for the hundredth time) that everything is right.

Darn, normally I never have to ask questions to get things done. This should be so simple. I think the power being out since Thursday has made everything wonky for me. (We did spend two nights at a hotel tso we could take showers).

I'm sure I'll get it right eventually, I'm just in frustrated with everything mode right now.

edit: when I typed the commands from your post, I used - instead of _ between flash and image, no wonder it said not found! I live in Maine, and it is freezing in the house!

edit2: I think I may have just gotten it finally, now it says usage: flash_image partition file.img I sure hope that is right!
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Yes, the intructions in the OP seem to be wrong. They really posed a problem for me the first time I flashed this recovery as I didn't know how to interpret the error message when typing "mount -a" in Terminal.
[G1 Android Development] :
Well I'm glad its all working now :)

Sorry to hear about your situation, 4 days without power with the weather in Maine must be hell! Hope they sort it soon for you and everyone else affected.
[G1 Android Development] xaueious:
I'm happy to see an update for this. But I have a Rogers Dream and wont be able to upgrade to Carebear recovery just yet.

By the way is there an easy way to change the color once the recovery is installed? That would be a nice feature :)

Same for background
[G1 Android Development] DroidHead:
I am having trouble DLing it from the device.... testing to see if this will work.

I hope this can help someone other than me... This is the Green (HTC) 1.6.2, extract the contents of the .zip
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
A recovery will never revert by itself...

Or you restored an old backup (which included an old recovery), or your current rom flashes a recovery on boot.

Just remove the recovery image from the backup...

On what do you base yourself by saying that it never worked?

Just because you get an error in the output doesn't mean that it didn't work...

"mount -a" mounts all filesystems (of the given types) mentioned in fstab.

The current recovery fstab contains :

Let's assume that you don't have an ext partition on your sdcard.

Not having an ext partition on your sdcard would mean that /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 could never be mounted.

mount -a would therefor give the output :

/ # mount -a

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: No such file or directory

All the previous filesystems are mounted however, you just don't see that in the output.
[G1 Android Development] :
Well I base it on the fact that I've NEVER used mount -a in terminal console and have flashed everytime without a problem. Hence it isn't required as I have an ext partition. So from what you say if you have an Ext mount -a isn't required only for users without.
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Assuming something without knowing technical details is dangerous...

I've put it in the instructions just to make sure that the sdcard is mounted correctly. I see many people in this thread unable to flash the recovery because their sdcard isn't mounted and flash_image isn't finding the recovery image as a consequence.
[G1 Android Development] :
Wow fair enough, I also see and answer many questions regarding the mount -a showing in terminal emulator 'Unknown option -- amount: invalid option -a'. I'll make sure to stay out of your thread from now on and not dare post or try to help again.

Thank you for your explanation.
[G1 Android Development] miglop:
how can i download this recovery image on my g1 i dont have a usb cable and i searched for crutch lite and there is no results i tried downloading it from browser but it didnt let me download it how can i download amon ra recovery imaage 1.6.2 please tell me i need to know

email me at miglop213@gmail.com
[G1 Android Development] kathi17:
I sure am glad you were there for me Shadow, I was getting so frustrated! Oh, and our power came back on! I think you brought me luck. :)
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
Thanks!

I just wanted to say "Thanks" for the update! Also, my oldest daughter (12) loves Care Bears so I'll be sure and show her your Recovery image, although she'll have no clue what it actually does, she'll really appreciate the art work!

Thanks again!
[G1 Android Development] kathi17:
A couple of pages back from this one, there is a download for crutch lite. I was glad to get it too, since I didn't have access to my computer.
[G1 Android Development] SeEsAw12:
I had the 1.5.2 recovery image and I just found I can transfer files while in recovery..

wow.. I was turning off my g1 and using the adapter to switch folders when I could've just pressed 1 button.

Well this a work of art.

Love the Blue Carebear.. I guess..

:D Thanks
[G1 Android Development] olvap377:
amon_ra please let us know when "R" version coming? im sooo anxious to use this pleeeease
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
When I tried flashing 1.5.2, I got an error when entering "mount -a", so this time when flashing 1.6.2, I skipped that step entirely. I have no ext partitions on my SD card or apps2sd. Have I done some harm by not entering that step? Should I re-flash the recovery?
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Nah....

that step just makes sure that the SDCARD is readable by the system so you can access it to flash from.

That's only necessary if you do it from the console. If you do it with the phone running, sdcard is already mounted for use by the system, so no need.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Thanks for the explanation. I kinda thought that was the case, so I wonder why that step is included in the procedure for Terminal.
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Thanks a lot for this, pure awesomeness. Not sure about carebears but may grow on me

Now, a million dollar question: Does this (or will it in the future) support flashing roms from folders rather then from the root of SD? I believe that Koush got that working in his 1.4 recovery, is there a way to integrate such feature in this recovery? Sorry, I'm OCD like that, I can't stand all these "extra" files on my SD.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
is there an easy way to mod the image? i like the blue or pink colors, but the bear kills it (sorry amon :))
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
I agree, I like the option for different colours but am not really digging the carebear.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Unpack the image, edit the .png's, repack the image
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
Thanks Amon_RA for the sweet new recovery! I've been using your 1.5.2 since it came out, and all I can say is thanks! The best is that I don't have to yank my battery out anymore :D Is it possible to add the option to flash unsigned roms, like the the clockwork 1.4 recovery? I personally haven't used it, but seems like a cool feature. Again, Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Added Roger Dream -R- version in top post.
[G1 Android Development] xftox:

Can we expect an update for 32b aswell
[G1 Android Development] anthonws:

Thanks for your great work!
[G1 Android Development] t0mmy:
this is perfect thanks (i picked the blue grumpy bear lol)
[G1 Android Development] Remanifest:
This is the best recovery I've used - the inclusion of switchrom is very helpful. Thank you for having a version with the standard HTC background.

Pulling my hair out

Hi, I have been all over the place looking for a solution for my Rogers HTC Dream. It isn't sim locked but I don't have root access. The info for the phone is as follows:

Rogers firmware: Android 1.5

Baseband: 62.59S.20.23U_3.22.26.17

Kernel: 2.6.27-d5acf552 u70000@Android-X01 #12

Build: 1.89.631.1 146733 CL#94714 release-keys

HBOOT: 1.33.0010 (DREA21000)

RADIO: 3.22.26.17

android recovery won't apply anythying i've tried. I have tried the 1 touch app to replace the recovery; no such luck. I have had luck in getting the phone to communicate with adb and fastboot, but i still get access denied messages. I have been pulling my hair out literally with this.

If there is anyone who has been able to unlocked their EBl1 rogers HTC Dream I could really use the help, please! Otherwise I'll be selling it. I have wasted too many hours on it to get nowhere.
[G1 Android Development] Remanifest:
Beginners Guide For Rooting Your Android G1 To Install Cupcake - I'm not 100% sure if this will work on a Rogers phone, but I believe this is the guide I used, and I haven't had to go through the root procedure since.

How To: Root the MyTouch 3G or G1 in One Click!

How To: Root a Donut Phone (Android 1.6)

How To: Root the HTC Magic in One Click!

Read through those guides thoroughly, and make sure to follow the provisions for the guide that suits your hardware.
[G1 Android Development] xaueious:
Thanks for the Rogers Carebear!

You can't root that thing. People who don't have Rogers Dreams don't know. There's a huge thread dedicated to this. Sell it.
[G1 Android Development] Remanifest:
Really? That's surprising... do you have the link to the thread? I'd like to read through it.
[G1 Android Development] so142001:
I have seen a few with the EBL1 Cracked.. I have been looking for someone who was able to root one of those.
[G1 Android Development] nemir1:
You can root the Rogers Dream maybe ...

Go to this link, lots of help and a walkthrough, although it appears yours has been updated with the e911 patch and people are working on how to bypass that.

I think you mean that you cannot crack the NEW ebi1 radio??

Because I was ebi1 and was definitely rooted :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
just wanted to chime in and say thanks for posting the source.. was lookin for it 2 days ago and thought i was goin crazy cause you said it was in your first post, lol. gonna try and merge this with the browse for zip feature in the eclair source.. thanks again amon
[G1 Android Development] vlcmstnsrfr:
hey y'all,

wanted to thank Amon for the good work.

recently F***ed up my G1 pretty hard, took a dive with me into the pool.

Phone works, boots into Amon_RA recovery 1.5.2 every time I turn it on but I think the Home button is fried.

Does anyone know how to change the recovery image so that confirm is not HOME, rather another button like MENU?

I think I need to reflash everything, radio-SPL-ROM, but can't hit HOME for any confirmation :'( I even got the new Radio, 1.6, and SuperD all on my SD card

Thanks!!!
[G1 Android Development] 1r2R1:
is there a version for mt3g ?
[G1 Android Development] philosophics:
dl'd the top one due to no understanding with the colored ones.

Works good, keep it up mang!
[G1 Android Development] so142001:
Yeah I believe it is definitely the new radio. That blows. I am selling this bastard. Anyways, anyone have an idea of what I should replace it with? Hero, Dream or Magic? I am talking more along the lines of which one would be potentially unrootable or rootable. Also how easy it would be to sim-unlock Any pointers?
[G1 Android Development] so142001:
Some good news!!!!!!!!!!

Hi again everyone, I was on the phone yesterday with Robbers and I was talking to a very nice gentleman about the mandatory 911 update. With the Robbers 911 opt out waiver as ammunition I got into a 1 hour debate with the guy about whether Robbers was really supporting open source community with an obvious open source platform as they advertised.

At first I requested for a way to gain root from this new bull**** update. A way to reverse it or to "update" to an optional one that goes in line with their 911 waiver. Essentially a way to either downgrade or gain ultimate root access to the phone. At first the rep denied any Robbers liability over providing open root access, then I brought up false advertising with a dish of their intentions being made clear with the waiver form.

After this the rep decided to help me out. He told me that he was going to make a motion on my behalf within his powers, talk to people (tech support and developers within Robbers) to find a possible way to honor my request and then get back to me within the week. I will keep everyone updated on this.
[G1 Android Development] cingall:
Downloaded and flashed 3-4 times using company comnputer, every time I flashed it erased recovery image :^( reverted back to 1.5.2 every time

downloaded directly to phone using dl crutch, flashed successfully :^) musta been something with work computer/network.

Love the image, keep up the good work Amon!!

[G1 Android Development] kevindt:
First, many thanks for the new recovery image - flashed and working well!

I've noticed several mentions of problems with the "mount -a" giving errors:

'Unknown option -- amount: invalid option -a'

In my case, I got that from user error - trying to give that command from adb shell while booted into the ROM, not into the recovery image. Once booted into recovery image as per the instructions, it accepted the command without problems.
[G1 Android Development] SeEsAw12:
I'm sure he appreciates the great comment and thanks.

but is it really necessary to quote the entire thing!?!?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] nicknowsky:
waita minute, I cant use this one for my MyTouch 3g can I?? I have to use the 32b edition, which isnt updated to 1.6.2 yet
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Yup, eeeeeagerly awaiting the appropriate version myself :cool:
