this is amazing work brother. Im so stoked to try it out.

i have to wait tho because some UPS **** stole my replacement G1 right out of the shipping box and still delivered an empty box with a hole in it..
[G1 Android Development] jacsonmoore3:
only problem i hve with this reovery is....DAMN i should slap myself..its AWESOME,AMAZING...ETC...LOL
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
I have only seen that happen when the nandroid backup runs with /system or /system/sd mounted. The script should umount it first.

EDIT: I am going to upload this image with bart included in a few.
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
So you just flashed this like an update.zip?
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
WTF?! That's not normal... it's using exactly the same nandroid script as cyan's recovery. :confused: :confused: :confused:

I made a backup of Cyan's latest ROM : just two lines of dots -> See attached screenshot
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
I get the impression from a couple posters that this can be flashed just as with any update.zip- true, or no

Also, can this be done without having to re-load my current ROM? - thanks in advance for all your awesome work- Chris
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
The only thing missing from this, from my point of view, is a ROM decision maker. I must flash my phone once a day on average and often don't know which to stick with.

I'm an addict, I need help D:
[G1 Android Development] jacsonmoore3:
is ur card already fomat..cuz i have no problem with my sd storage on..try to plug the phone up 1st..cuz its working on my end
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
I just looked at the script, and it looks fine. I think somehow /system was never unmounted. I would try it again without doing any other options first. I did a bart backup from your recovery and it works perfectly. I am uploading it with bart now.
[G1 Android Development] big nu:
Hero roms tend to not take to whole backup/restore process

Thats why switch-rom is popular w/ hero roms

:cool:

All in all great stuff Amon_Ra
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Here is Amon_RA's super awesome recovery image with the BART backup script added to it. Jyst type bart at the console prompt.

EDIT: re-upped a new one with a Delete Dalvik option. Just type deldalvik at the console prompt

[G1 Android Development] SimonNWalker:
Awesome job dude!

I'll be trying it sooner or later. :)

Would be even better if you had an option to delete dalvik-cache which causes some problems switching between ROMs.
[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
...really would like to try out the new "recovery", but the d/l link is corrupt. Can you please re-upload? Thanks!

Update - I googled RA-dream-v1.2.2 and found another link. Thanks anyway. Installing now...

Update - ...installed. Great job! Works perfectly!
[G1 Android Development] pascanu:
Very nice additions! Trackball can be temperamental at times, but using the volume and home button never fails.

Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] woSaa:
thannks AMOREEEE ;) works good!

have nice day... :D
[G1 Android Development] chuckhriczko:
Hey all,

I had to switch to Sprint so now I am on the Hero forums. I miss you guys! But does anyone know how I would be able to get this new recovery image working for the Hero? Or are you going to do that Amon? Just curious.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] gtest12:
good stuff!

I got one tiny issue. When I have multiple backups, it only restores the most recent one. When I have to restore an old backup, I have to move the new backup out of nandroid folder.

It seems backup selection does not work for me.

Thanks for your wonderful work!
[G1 Android Development] vincom2:
His twitter says he'll be updating the hero recovery soon.
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Thanks for reporting this bug!

The preview was being tested for about a week and nobody noticed...

Anyway I've fixed it in 1.3.2!
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Updated to v1.3.2

Change-log :

v1.3.2

Fixed Nandroid restore selection, it will now correctly restore the selected nandroid backup!
[G1 Android Development] scrappyabs2:
Love this recovery image. Could you add a Power Off option? My phone has been ROM-less for the past 24 hours (waiting for next Cyanogen build), and there is no easy way to turn off my phone without pulling the battery.
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
rapidshare says there is an error when dl anyplace else I can get it?
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Click on the link that is called MIRROR... :p
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
thank you your work is appriciated!:)
[G1 Android Development] luffyd:
i need help!!!! after i flashed the 1.3.2 today tried to flash several roms now after it hung on me i do the usual POWER + HOME to reboot to recovery mode..it wont even go to the image anymore..it goes straight to the triangle with the exclamation trying to ALT W and ALT X rite now..and waiting to see what will happen...
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Maybe you have flashed a rom that contains a recovery?

That will flash over the current one.

Just boot into fastboot and flash the recovery again if it doesn't want to boot.
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
Thanks again for all your work on this. its awesome ^^ and its still getting better all the time
[G1 Android Development] luffyd:
im trying to do fastboot rite now..where should i put the recovery image at on my desktop...its my first time..its not locating the image thanks
[G1 Android Development] luffyd:
it keeps looking for DREADIAG.Zip
[G1 Android Development] ultraviolet74:
Amon_RA you are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] Amon_RA:
Fastboot = hold BACK while booting

I think you are holding volume down.
[G1 Android Development] luffyd:
thats what i did i see fastboot usb with 4 options..but i guess im having a hard time installing the usb drivers im reading all the components but cant still find a way to install the driver the phone..u think thats the problem>??
[G1 Android Development] Mr. Nefarious:
Dynamic partitioning from recovery?! This is genius!
[G1 Android Development] Exodeity:
Well, I know this is just being picky, I love your recovery, BTW, I may just end up buying you a redbull, soon as I get my ass up and get a job xD.

But just for a request/suggestion, when you perform a bart backup via the menu, would it be possible to let us choose the name, without doing it from console?

That would just make this 10x more flawless :D

Edit: the bart backup from the recovery menu doesn't work, least not for me, IDK if this is a known thing or not, just FYI xD
[G1 Android Development] luffyd:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.2.img to a location where fastboot can find it.

Boot your G1 into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)

Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...

fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.2.img

on ur 3rd step fastboot devices(what does that mean?)...i finally found the usb drivers so when u boot with the back key it said use the camera button..to do it rite? then it keeps finding that DREAMIAG and said no image...

[G1 Android Development] EpedemicOptikz:
Best recovery ever.

I haven't flashed it yet but, if it's not in there, it would be awesome to have rotation be active during recovery so I could use the keyboard shortcuts instead of the trackball. ;)
[G1 Android Development] lt1pnyklr:
I just flashed the new recovery with ease. One thing I noticed, when I boot into recovery now, I have to be careful how I release the home and power button, otherwise the phone reboots again. It was never this sensitive before. Anyone else noticing this?
[G1 Android Development] monkey804:
Thanks Amon. Now I can use the recovery with ease since my trackball is jacked up! Awesome!
[G1 Android Development] Magnemite:
How do I move the Dalvik Cache to SD with 1.3.2?
[G1 Android Development] goatmonkey:
Okay, so which option factory resets the phone? I don't want to erase my SD card, I just want to wipe.

Switchrom does not work. I type switchrom and I get the menu but when I try any command non work, -r -s -v etc.... Please Help maybe I'm doing something wrong.
[G1 Android Development] mrnv45:
I. Flash a New Recovery Image

1. Find the recovery image you want and MAKE SURE IT IS FOR YOUR PHONE (should say in where you download it what phone it is for).

2. Write down the filename of the recovery image EXACTLY as it is written (i.e. RA-Hero-Recovery-v1.2.2.img).

3. Put the recovery image file on the SD card (not in any folders).

4. Download Terminal from the Market if you don’t already have it and install it (there are a few different terminals in the Market some have an onscreen keyboard and some don’t experiment till you get one, also hold down Menu in some of them to bring up the onscreen keyboard if you don’t see it).

5. Open the Terminal program and type the following (with hitting enter at the end of each line):

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img

6. In the above text, replace name-of-recovery.img with the name of your recovery image (make sure the .img is on the end).

7. Phone should pause for a second and then show you a new blank line. Turn it off and back on by holding down Home and Power to ensure it flashed correctly. Done.
[G1 Android Development] mrnv45:
what exactly is wipin battery stats again?
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
It doesn't seem to work on Hero :(

Pressing boot and home results in a never ending T-Mobile G1 screen, it doesn't even try and boot fully, I have to remove the battery for it to come back to life.

Works fine on my wifes G1 though.
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
Kick Ass. I love it.
[G1 Android Development] unchainedrssr:
At the top of the menu, when you have typed in 'switchrom' and pressed enter, you will see the directions saying to use /sbin/switchrom -s hero (if you want to save a hero rom)

This is a customized recovery image. You can use a different recovery and run switchrom.sh seperately or just use these revised directions.

Take care!:D
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
Amon, love your recoveries. I made a suggestion earlier to organize zip files alphabetically in the choose zip menu but I think you may have missed it. If it is in any way possible, that would be of great convenience for those of us that have a huge selection of zip files on /sdcard

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] shovelhead83:
i like it! thank you!
[G1 Android Development] cephaus:
is it just me. or is the recovery's partition thing broken?
[G1 Android Development] billyjr2:
I flashed the new recovery while in cm 4.2.3.1 backed up nandroid and bart and then flashed milgn3.0 went back to recovery...., and was back to recovery1.2.3.........

....weird
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
Great update! Just a couple suggestions. The new usb toggle is good in theory but before we just had to click on or off now we have to click the toggle then hit home. Would be better if we didn't have to hit home after clicking the toggle. Also the BART option is great but the best part about BART is being about to store multiple roms so having it create a default backup like nandroid isnt really that great. If you could make it so you could choose the rom name for the backup and choose which to restore that would be awesome, if not the console version of BART is still great. Thank again! Keep up the great work!
[G1 Android Development] lt1pnyklr:
Quick question. Is Wipe Data Partition the same as the old handset wipe?

The reason I ask is because I just flashed cyans latest update and after using data partition wipe it still booted up and started loading the previous rom I had.
[G1 Android Development] yoshitoshi:
i have a Class 6 8GB card...when i choose Format/partition,it will ask for swap size and EXT...

whats the best figure for this 2?
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
most people use 500mb ext and 32mb swap
[G1 Android Development] yoshitoshi:
the higher the better?

cause basically i got nothing to store on my SD Card
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
EXT space is for your apps2sd, 500mb is enough space for 100s of apps. The recomended linux swap space is 32mb although some roms require 64 or 96. Linux swap is also not require on other roms so if you dont plan on using the swap then theres no need to create it.
[G1 Android Development] rondey-:
This recovery is amazing. Feature rich without any clutter and no pain with navigating through it.

The only thing I could think that could possibly make it better, although I dont know if it is possible to do, would be even more switchrom/bart integration.

Have a menu for "switchrom" and then a submenu to store, restore, delete.

When you choose an option, have it bring up what you have saved on your sdcard. Therefore no typing would be required unless you want to create a new one.

If thats not possible or would require way too much I understand. Ive been using this recovery since you officially made the port to dream and it has made my life much easier. Thank you for your time and effort!
[G1 Android Development] Proxin:
Thanks for this - very useful and pretty!
[G1 Android Development] SalviEmpire:
Apps to SD Card

Hello everybody im having an issue right now. I dont know how to put apps on my sd card. i am running Kingsxkx newest ROM and Amon RA 1.2.2. i select the option to move apps and cache to my SD card but it still doesnt do it i still have them on my phones memory i am a newb so im not really familiar with all this. Geez im even lucky to be able to root and load HERO but if anybody can help i would really appriciate that. Thank You all
[G1 Android Development] Deathwish238:
I thought 96MB is generally considered best for most ROMs? 32MB is what most people used to use until around September I want to say.

Most ROMs will automatically setup Apps2SD if your card is properly partitioned. You should browse a bit, your question is common.
[G1 Android Development] pimpeinkc:
missing options

i just flashed RA-dream-v1.3.2 and i only have 8 options,

am i missing something?
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
yes, the other options are in sub menus, for example bart and nandroid are in the recovery menu
[G1 Android Development] problem1:
can someone plz upload this on megaupload or some other type of server kuz i hate rapidshare and its not orking for me it keeps saying i have to have a premium account
[G1 Android Development] problem1:
click clear dalvik cache not wipe ext....... ext holds your roms nd if factory wipe it clears everything except your roms thats on your ext partition nd your theme if u have one....... can u do me a favor nd send me the new recovery kuz rapidshare isnt working for me
[G1 Android Development] pimpeinkc:
thanks for clearing that up
[G1 Android Development] problem1:
yay thanx :D
[G1 Android Development] Booker-T:
I really want a customizable bart backup and restore.

Usually I will try different rom and make a bart backup, if the recovery image can provide the function of naming and selecting rom for restoring is prefect!
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
Just decided to try this recovery. And I am having a problem performing a Nandroid backup through the menu. Everytime I select it, it says to run nandroid-mobile.sh from the console.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Had to add my $0.02... 500mb ext is HUGE! I've been using a 384mb partition for months and have yet for the free space to drop under 270mb. I could probably be fine with 256mb, but don't need the space on my fat partition so haven't changed it.

I know a lot of people run 500mb ext partitions, but this isn't a "who's **** is bigger" contest... it's completely unnecessary and a waste of your SD card's space.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Nandroid only backs up the nand flash...i.e. the internal storage on your phone.

BART employs Nandroid and other scripts to back up your internal storage AND whatever is on your ext partition. Basically, it's like Norton Ghost for our phones.

For what it's worth, BART allows you to back up your entire phone after you've set up a ROM, then you can try flashing other ROMs. If you don't like them, you can do a complete restore by reflashing the old ROM and then doing a BART restore. Everything will be restored to the same state as when you backed up.
[G1 Android Development] robkoehler:
try switchrom in console

enter "switchrom -h" to get a list of commands

it works awesome if you want to swap hero and cm - saves all apps and settings
[G1 Android Development] unchainedrssr:
Also, make sure you click on the switchrom link that is one the first page. Read carefully. You can still lose some of your data.
[G1 Android Development] lt1pnyklr:
Anyone have this issue?
[G1 Android Development] NeoSting:
Hello,

I hope u can find where is my problem :

I have a G1, from France. I could install a 4.0.4 cyanogenmod, and now i would like to install the 4.2.5 with your boot.

But that dosn't work at all.

here is what i did :

I have used this tuto

SDK is installed on my PC. I can launch a cmd and type fastboot boot boot.img to boot, and after a restart, it definitly become a black screen. SO, i restarted again, but instead of fastboot boot, i have tried

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.2.img

It told me after sending OKAY, and writing "checking" :

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

I have try also with a just downloading recovery 1.4 "normal" from cyanogen and i have the same result.

I did it while having this screen :

What can i do then ?

Sorry to buther you.
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
Yeah the way he has it setup it just backs up bart with a folder named default. To use bart how it was intended you need to go to console. just type BART in search and you will the directs and commands, or type bart in console to see the commands
[G1 Android Development] maxawesome:
Request for next version

First let me say that your recovery image is *the* ****. Totally awesome.

Second, I would like to request a minor change for whatever future release you could squeeze it into.

Could you modify the interactive partitioning to allow for multiple partitions of the same format?

Basically, you could just prompt for a # of partitions to create, and then cycle through them to let the user specify what each should be formatted as, and how big it should be.

Keep up the awesome work!
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
what exactly would be the purpose of having multiple ext fat or linux partitions ? I would think that would confuse the phone...
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Sounds about right.

I typically go into Console from the Recovery screen, then type "utility" to bring up BKMO's menu. From there, select option 7 to make a BART backup. It will then ask you to name the backup, hit enter, hit y and enter to continue... By default it will backup everything on your internal storage and ext partition.

To restore, I usually do a full wipe of the phone and ext, then go to Console, type utility, and use option 8... it will ask you which backup you want to restore. If you're coming from a different ROM, I've found that the most reliable method has been to flash back to that rom and let it boot before restoring a backup.
[G1 Android Development] lt1pnyklr:
How do you completely wipe the phone now? Wipe data partition didnt seem to have removed everything for me.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Unfortunately, the nandroid-mobile.sh script that is used for bart and nandroid backs up the recovery partition. It also restores it. if it happened to be the older one, that is what you get after the restore. I have modded the 1.3.2 version to not backup/restore the recovery partition. I will post it and it will be found as a link in my signature a bit later.
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
About my problem of Nandroid backup failing and asking me to run nandroid-mobile.sh from the console, it has gone away. All I did was delete all my previous nandroid backups that were already there. I have no idea why this worked. Considering I rebooted numerous times and had zero success.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
It is usually because there is not enough space for a backup, and low battery on a restore.
[G1 Android Development] lt1pnyklr:
For some odd reason, this new recovery will not wipe my entire phone. Ive tried several times now and get the same result. Im using wipe data partition, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe ext3 and after doing this, when I reboot my phone, my old rom and theme will still load. Something isnt right here. Ive never had any issues with Amon_ra's previous recoveries but this one.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
aren't themes update.zip's i don't use them, but if they are, that would necessitate you flashing the rom without the theme over after wiping.
[G1 Android Development] lt1pnyklr:
I dont rename my themes, but this has nothing to do with it. The point that its not removing my old rom & theme after telling it to and rebooting, is the issue. When I wipe everything and reboot through recovery it loads the same way. Its like its not working correctly when it should remain on my splash screen if no rom is present on the phone.

I even tried to reflash the recovery image to see if perhaps it was a bad download but when I do so through adb it wont allow me to because of a "matching header" or something like that.
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
ahh, i don't have a mt, but, if you can get into adb, i would try to flash something through fastboot. good luck
[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
pain in the ass flashing radio and spl(home+back to finish installation) since home buttons works like select now so i almost bricked the phone.

Apps2SD

Question... If I have my SD card set up properly for Apps2SD and I flash the latest cyanogen 4.2.5, will I have to reinstall all of my apps, or just copy the folders that're created for each program back on to my card and/or restore them? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
