Well.....funny that u mention it. It seems as though we have confirmed, over in Fitsnugly's CRACKFLASHER thread, that, for now, Ra 2.1.1 seems to be experiencing some tech diff when trying to flash the latest Gapps for the CM7 alpha builds. The consensus seems to be that using RM 3.0+/CW 2.5.1.0 for Gapps will, at least for now, will help you avoid some of the frustration that I can personally attest to. If your goal is to stay with Ra....then flash THIS OLDER GAPPS which Simms22 was nice enough to repost, after Fits updated his post to the newer gb-gapps. You can then use the 2.2.7 testkeys version floating around there to get new market working.

I haven't switched back to CW, yet, b/c I think now that I have gapps working fine, I should be in the clear. But the above is what I had to do to get back up and running.

(the current gb-a2sd options may or may not be wreaking havoc on the cm7 update process, as well...I finally decided to leave it out and just fly with low memory.....just a caution)
[Nexus One Android Development] :
makelegs,

yea I was just reading 20 pages or so. dl'd both gapps and hboot 35. I have testkeys already dl'd and used it before.

don't you need hboot 35 and how to do it. just flash zip thru recovery or more involved steps thru fastboot in command shell?

May need to wait, all sounds confusing right now

ken
[Nexus One Android Development] makelegs:
Pretty sure you need the new hboot..... and pretty sure you just flash snugly's hboot link thru recovery.

Oddly enough.... you actually helped walk me thru the "true" root process after I accidentally got updated to this new hboot while flashing an unrooted frg83 build, MONTHS ago, and none of the one-clicks would work for a while, there. At the time, I had not understood the need for custom recoveries and got caught flying without a net.

I just flashed gridlock's #25 build, so I assure you it's not rocket science. Just get ur nandroids in place. Wipe cache & dalvik. Flash over cm6. Flash gb-fr_apps (if ur using Ra). And then ur good to go from there.

I've been stubborn about sticking with Ra for the last 2-3 months. But, in hindsight, my weekend may have been substantially smoother had I been using RM 3+/CW 2.5.1.0. Just don't try to flash any of the newer gb-gapps with Ra and u should be fine.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Glad we got you off the oneclick, never liked it

Hope you are right on hboot, I will stick with amon 2.1.1 and do the testkeys. I have a -signed one and one that ends in .update, don't remember which one I used to get new market.

Maybe amon knows the deal on 2.1.1 having issues with the one gapps with cm7.

Didn't see a "#25" build, will look more. Guess I flash nightly 295 them #25

I assume going to hboot 35 won't effect any roms I currently have on phone or 2.1.1

I will read more and post in his thread with q's, see you there

I think we have got side tracked here in amon's thread

Calling it a night

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] makelegs:
I'm pretty sure Amon is aware. I'm with you, though, and prefer to just keep trucking along the my trusty Ra 2.1.1. Pretty sure I flashed a signed version. Mtw posted a link over the weekend that worked fine for me.

Agreed about having side tracked a bit. Back on topic....in......3.....2......1......<shutting up now>

[Nexus One Android Development] simms22:
flash it using the terminal on your phone. for some reason, lots get errors fastbooting it but it flashes perfectly via the terminal.

put the file on the root of your sd card, i renamed it rec2.1.1.img

I noticed right now that even I flashed the 2.1.1 and in fact that is the one I have ... it displays "2.1.0" o.O

plus ... when I wipe the dalvik ... it doesn't proceed as usual but return some new errors!

how to fix boot back to stock recovery

In Case init.rc is calling any install-recovery.sh script, how to fix boot back to stock recovery (exclamation mark with a little Android).
[Nexus One Android Development] skim7x:
n00b question... by 'the terminal' you mean like a terminal emulator? I don't know of any other terminal on my N1... just wanted to confirm that I can use "Terminal Emulator" app to upgrade my current RA-1.7 to 2.1

Thanks for the help!!
[Nexus One Android Development] simms22:
yup, the terminal emulator :)
[Nexus One Android Development] makelegs:
If ur unsure about terminal.... u might just check out what alternate recovery is available to u in Rom Manager (assuming u have RM). Mine has Ra 2.1.1, so you might could flash it more easily that way. (although, personally, I flashed Ra using terminal emulator)

#justsayin
[Nexus One Android Development] Lamar720:
Does this work with a locked boot loader?
[Nexus One Android Development] HereAsWell:
I flashed the latest version directly from the old recovery using ADB.

Works like a charm.
[Nexus One Android Development] proteus665:
im a new owner of nexus one and i just rooted my phone.. i want to flash cyanogen rom but i guess i need to have amon ra's recovery.. just a noob question.. what do you mean by this? Make sure that init.rc isn't calling any install-recovery.sh script, otherwise you'll boot back to stock recovery (exclamation mark with a little Android).

im on 2.2.1 and want to have the amon ra recovery but im stuck with that.. what should i do?
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
Just ignore it and flash CM.

CM doesn't have the install-recovery.sh script so you don't need to worry about it.
[Nexus One Android Development] proteus665:
i already downloaded the latest amonra recovery 2.1.1 and placed it on the root of my sdcard. using the terminal emulator, why does the phone prompted "recovery flash image not found"?
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
updated to v2.2.1

Change-log :

v2.2.1

Nandroid backup is now selective, boot/system/cache/data are selected by default.

Nandroid checks if there's at least 500MB free on SDcard before starting a backup.

Added/updated error/warning messages.

[Nexus One Android Development] meechto:
v2.2.1 installed perfectly, works great :D Thanks for the update, Amon_RA :D
[Nexus One Android Development] meechto:
Press the power button while holding down the trackball in order to get your Nexus One into the fastboot mode ;)

But before that, in order to run the fastboot command, you need to install the Android SDK for the specific version of your computer's operating system i.e. Windows, Linux, Mac

Also install the USB drivers if you are using Windows

The fastboot command is part of the Android SDB you would install :)
[Nexus One Android Development] uranum:
Thanks for the update amon_RA

Hello everyone

How can backup rom + all my apps in sd-ext in new recovery v2.2.1

What are the options to choose

boot/system/cache/data /sd-ext ? or all ?
[Nexus One Android Development] proteus665:
when im in fastboot mode, white backgroung with 3skating adnroids, there are only 4 options.. Reboot, Bootloader, Reboot Bootloader, and Power Down. which one should i chose? im really confused now.. ive also tried terminal emulator but still prompts "no flash image found".. what and how many files should i download anyway?
[Nexus One Android Development] mtw4991:
The white background with 3 skating androids IS fastboot mode
[Nexus One Android Development] proteus665:
yeah i know that is fastboot mode. i dont know where to go from there and what option to choose to flash amonra's recovery..
[Nexus One Android Development] NinjaSverre:
When you see the three skating androids, connect your phone to your.computer using usb. It should say fastboot usb one line above the 3-4 choices you have. Hope this helps :)
[Nexus One Android Development] mtw4991:
You need to install the Android SDK (software developer kit)

Once you do that, then:

put the recovery.img into the Tools folder of the sdk (mine is c:\android-sdk-windows\tools)

boot into fastboot mode

on pc, navigate to the tools folder of your sdk (cd\android-sdk-windows\tools)

on pc, type: fastboot devices (to make sure the phone is seen)

type: fastboot flash recovery <recoveryname>.img

type: fastboot reboot

done.

GSM or CDMA? For Desire(GSM), you can find it here(but not updated). I haven't seen RA recovery for Desire(CDMA) yet.
[Nexus One Android Development] drive2droad:
Always see the exact description as stated by the developer , Desire GSM Recovery has been pointed out by the user above ... i too have no idea about CDMA Desire
[Nexus One Android Development] Burton8219:
Hey guys quick question. I flashed the recovery image to my N1 and it works the first time after flashing, but after that whenever I try and get back into recovery I get the triangle and exclamation point with the little android guy. Is this happening to anyone else or does someone have an idea what I'm doing wrong. It's easily fixed by flashing every time through Terminal, but it gets kind of annoying to have to re-flash to get into recovery that one time I want to get in.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Amon_Ra

Curiosity question and probably no one cares--

But, what happened that all your updates are now quickly appearing on Rom Mgr, where it seemed for many months 1.7.0 was there and never updated. Will this continue as it is very easy for anyone to flash your recovery. I don't mind Terminal or Fastboot, and even have the recovery line copied to notepad to paste it in Terminal. But, this is much quicker.

Thanks,

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
... I had 2 weeks of holiday and spend some time coding :-)

Back to work now so I don't think I'll be able to release anything new soon.

I just didn't take the time to get RM updated before... no particular reason.
[Nexus One Android Development] scalp42:
I am running into a HUGE problem (my fault).

I had to cancel the backup but I am sure that my system.img and data.img (most important to me) are fine.

Unfortunately, nandroid.md5 didn't get the chance to be created, and it doesnt let me restore my backup due to this missing file :(

Any chance to have an option to override this security feature please ?

I am totally stranded here, it is the only backup I have :eek:
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
You can create the nandroid.md5 manually, it's just a text file containing the md5sums and filenames.

So.... get the md5sums of your system and data image and paste them in a nandroid.md5 file.

E.g. :

a9e47604a21a7435fe8e1ba6849dcb43 data.img

3384ae70b14f6def5094614b330ad1ca system.img
[Nexus One Android Development] scalp42:
Thanks a lot for the answer!

I'm trying right now (5:37am here... so imagine how stressed I am!)
[Nexus One Android Development] scalp42:
Thanks the trick worked!

But can't open the img... it fails saying it could not open boot.img for example.

[Nexus One Android Development] :
Thanks Amon_Ra

Just wasn't sure how it worked between you and Koush.

Enjoying 2.1.1, working flawlessly and will try flashing 2.2.1 thru RM. Hope that works as well. Sometimes I don't have good luck doing things thru RM's UI.

Nand backup on 2.2.1 - an FYI

Backed up CM6 install with 2.0, mid-CM7 install i upgraded to 2.2.1. all good so far.

had to restore CM6, which 2.2.1 did perfectly (as we'd all expect).

got CM7 working nicely, but wanted to flash a newer nightly - went to backup, getting errors.

turns out that the new version requires over double the free space! previous backups were about 220Mb; recovery log says needs 500Mb!!

One for the FAQ and to be aware of.

[Nexus One Android Development] :
Not sure I understand your problem, but:

I take my card out of phone and put in an sd card reader

back it up to pc

Format it while still in card reader with sdformatter from web. See it's instructions on the two settings for the sdformatter program

put it back in phone and partition it

then back in card reader to copy data from pc back to card

use card reader, cause it is three times fatser for me

Having a little problem...

I've flashed this recovery a number of times, but I've just reformatted and wanted the latest version this.

I downloaded the Android SDK, extracted it to my C:\ drive. Plugged my phone in to my computer (USB), turned it off - held down the track ball + power button, and then opened a command prompt from my PC and typed in:

"cd"

"AndroidSDK\tools"

and it says "The system cannot find the path specified"

It's looking in "C:\Users\James" - how do I redirect the cmd prompt to look in C:\Android-SDK\tools ?
[Nexus One Android Development] mtw4991:
c:\cd\androidsdk\tools then

abd devices then enter

Run adb commands

You don't need the power button/trackball thing, just make sure debugging is checked in applications-development

\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\

If you are using latest SDK, goto the above folder.

Right, that's what I thought. Already tried though... Deleted the whole nandroid folder from sd and tried at least 5-6 times now.

Restoring nandroid backup from old Nexus 1 to new Nexus 1

Just got a replacement Nexus One and I'm trying to nandroid restore on the new one.

The new one is rooted with super one click. So the bootloader is LOCKED (edited). I have installed AmonRA 2.2.1 recovery on it via the terminal however, and it works fine.

I did a nandroid back up on Nexus-old. Put the sd-card into Nexus-new. Wiped Nexus-new. Restored root on Nexus-new by super one click. Now trying nandroid restore on Nexus-new.

I get:

"Restoring: .

Oops... something went wrong!"

Attached is my log.

Any ideas? Can I not restore a nandroid made on a different nexus onto my new one?
[Nexus One Android Development] temasek:
I may be wrong but nandroid backups are device specific. A possible workaround is flashing individual images ie, boot.img, cache.img, data.img, system.img to your phone.
[Nexus One Android Development] waylo:
That would make so much sense!

Any reason flashing the individual .img's would be harmful to the new Nexus?
[Nexus One Android Development] temasek:
Nah, not harmful.

Nandroid restore also does it in this manner somehow or else why would they pack imgs into specific partition names?
[Nexus One Android Development] waylo:
Now the inevitable follow-up question... what adb push commands do I need to push the boot, data, and system.imgs to the phone to the right places?

EDIT:

Nevermind. I think if you make a folder on the sd-card with the new device's serial #, and put the other device's nandroid backup in that, it will work.
[Nexus One Android Development] temasek:
Yup possibly yes.

I was trying to find for u where the hell is the flash_img file to download. Found it and saw your post.

Good Luck :)
[Nexus One Android Development] waylo:
Yup it worked great. Thanks for your help. In this and multiple other threads :-)
