Woot!

I am loving it! GREAT :D:D:D:D
[Nexus One Android Development] houzuoguo:
wow RA the latest 2.0 version is so powerful! Thank you so much!
[Nexus One Android Development] dnsmo:
great and powerful. thanks Amon_RA
[Nexus One Android Development] lpasq:
Amon_RA........ very nice. thanks for all the functions/features and still keeping it light ;):):D
[Nexus One Android Development] eViL D::
This is fabulous! Glad you listen to the users. Thanks brotha!
[Nexus One Android Development] imfloflo:
Thanks for the v2.0.0, just flash it, amazing .
[Nexus One Android Development] MicroMod777:
RA-v2.0.0 looks like it has some very nice features!

Thanks for the great work! :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Jesse6749:
Thanks for the update!!!!!, just flashed and love the fact that now we can select which folder to install the zip files from. I love it!! and I flashed it using terminal emulator method for the first time and it worked flawlessly :D:D:D.
[Nexus One Android Development] flitzjoy:
Problem flashing...

first time flashing 2.0.0 and i got the following message in the Terminal Emulator.

"mtd: read error at 0x00000000 (Out of memory)"

tried again and again with CM version and normal version. None works and the error now repeats 8 times in different memory positions.

----

I´m now afraid to reboot the system. My phone is running fine but i dont know if I can reboot it, enter in bootloader/fastboot/recovery.

Someone knows if its safe to reboot?

There are any known fix to this issue?
[Nexus One Android Development] Jesse6749:
Almost sounds like you have one of the Nexus One's with bad boot blocks :eek: You could reboot it into fastboot mode and use your PC with ADB to try and flash it that way.
[Nexus One Android Development] crachel:
flashed from terminal and it gave me a some output about a blk (don't remember exactly) but all seems to be fine
[Nexus One Android Development] Imperial.mack:
The same happened to me. Did you solve this?

Edit: reflashed, works :)

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Android Development] flitzjoy:
are recovery necessary to boot?

I dont know nothing about bad blocks.

I already flashed before v1.7.0.1 and v1.9.0-alpha.

Always running latest cyanongen.

Now i was with Amon Ra 1.9 alpha and Cyanogen 6.1 nighty 245.

---

If I cant update recovery in fastboot. I will be able to boot my cellphone normaly after or with this writing recovery bug my cel wont even boot?

*** I hope it doesnt freeze until someone answer me. ***
[Nexus One Android Development] gravufo:
I just had the same error and it went just fine, I rebooted in the recovery and it works with the new version...odd indeed, but works fine ^^
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Again I ask....

PSFreedom removed?
[Nexus One Android Development] slowpc:
Was wondering the same thing or is he waiting to get the hex's for the psn spoof setup?
[Nexus One Android Development] gravufo:
Sorry, had forgotten to check.

Yes, it does seem that PSFreedom has been removed, I didn't find it anywhere!
[Nexus One Android Development] waylo:
I had the same thing except it was displayed 3 times. Rebooted despite that and everything looks normal at least.
[Nexus One Android Development] RinTinTigger:
i miss the carebear ^^

but this recovery is slick again! Thanks for ur hard work amon_ra :)
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Didn't see PSFreedom either.

But, very slick.
[Nexus One Android Development] meteora:
i also had this error for 3 times.

then i tried to install via fastboot and it was successful, no problem at all. :D
[Nexus One Android Development] GldRush98:
Just flashed 2.0.0 - Awesomeness! No issues flashing.

-Glad psfreedom is gone

-Glad the silly carebear or other silly background images are gone. I love the "stock" look it has now with the N1 logo. Perfect!

-File browser for flashing zips is awesome!

-VERY glad to see it backs up .android_secure now with nandroid! I had always worried about that.

Beautiful work man, this version is fantastic. Thank you so much for your hard work Amon :)
[Nexus One Android Development] lebartman:
Thanks, so fine whith the "filebrowser" support to select a zip to flash.

Merci beaucoup
[Nexus One Android Development] bud760:
thanks amon_ra for all the add ons to this great recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] MicroMod777:
Looks like signature verification is now required as default. Looks like I'll have to keep signing my ROM's again. I thought signing was a thing of the past and was going to be done away with! O well! Still a great recovery though! :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Viditoswal:
i get stuck at wating for device
[Nexus One Android Development] ilostchild:
i got the same out of memory error so i did fastboot way and rebooted and it showed up fine.. i was running cyan 6.1 rc1
[Nexus One Android Development] HaloTechnology:
no dream version :(
[Nexus One Android Development] t0ph0id:
Thanks for the update! Love the folder selection for flashing zips!
[Nexus One Android Development] michel-xda:
Feel jalous about v2.0.0! RA-dream-v1.7.0 works great but don't forget us. ;-)
[Nexus One Android Development] zutik:
:p THX !!! Amon_RA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
It's safe to boot your phone, flashing a recovery will not touch your rom at all...

"Out of memory" means that you are "out of memory", reboot and try again, it's probably a glitch with flash_image and your current rom.

If that doesn't work : boot into your current recovery, use adb and run the same flash commands there.
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
I really don't agree, people struggling with signing roms shouldn't be making them in the first place... Signing a rom takes a few seconds, and should be automated if you create roms on a regular base anyway...

I've added the option "toggle signature verification" , so it should still be possible to flash unsigned zips.
[Nexus One Android Development] clustered:
Thanks Amon_RA.... :)
[Nexus One Android Development] meechto:
Wow! Thanks, Amon_RA :D Have been awaiting these features :) Simply Awesome! ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] patric.f:
It only takes a few seconds to sign a ROM and if you don't know how, then you probably shouldn't be making them in the first place.
[Nexus One Android Development] blunden:
Agreed. I've been staying at 1.7.0.1 because signature checking is something I want. If it's not signed it not worth flashing in 99% of the cases.

EDIT: I find the list when you select "flash update from zip" to be quite long because of the file browser. It would be great if it would be rearranged so that at first you only see the ones in the sdcard root but have an option called "Browse" at the top. Would reduce the clutter for those of us who mostly flash zips from the root, oldschool style. :)

Other than that I like the additions and where they have been placed. Great work Amon_Ra!
[Nexus One Android Development] tribe2:
This recovery is great,but I need to use psfreedom. I hope this function will be integrated with this fantastic recovery soon
[Nexus One Android Development] ZeroXtreme:
Version 2.0

I'm all over this new version!!!! Been waiting for this, I think I'm going to love the "flash from sub folder" feature.

Thanks Amon_Ra, your work is greatly appreciated.
[Nexus One Android Development] Chicaned_UK:
Many thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] gravufo:
Wait amon_ra, we can flash the recovery THROUGH the recovery? O.o that kinda makes no sense as it is in use :|

If it's possible, please tell me and I'll try reflashing it...

As for the out of memory error, I am NOT out of memory...both my phone and sd card have plenty of space (100mb+) so I should not be getting that error. And I know that my phone isn't one of these with corrupted memories as I have seen the errors it gave and the position was never 0x00000000 and it was a write error instead of a read...but meh, right now it seems to work, I even flashed a new nightly and it did it without any problem!

anyways, thanks a lot!!
[Nexus One Android Development] SubyWill:
thank youuu! :)
[Nexus One Android Development] lackonne:
Great thanks for your hard work
[Nexus One Android Development] bjblackmore:
Just tried to root using recovery-RA-nexus-v2.0.0.img & nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip but now my N1 is totally unstable, after entering the SIM pin, I get an error saying 'Process system is not responding', the phone the reboots! This just goes around and around in circles!
[Nexus One Android Development] ilostchild:
RIGHT CLICK SIGN!! FTW :) thanks for the great and new featured recovery! i didnt know we can use ADB in recovery thru olde recovery!. i learned something new
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
It's probably a bug in the flash_image binary you are using, it does weird things.

This used to be a bug in CM before, I thought it was fixed. It has nothing to do with this recovery whatsoever.

A clean reboot and a new try mostly fixes the issue.

Flashing the recovery from within recovery does makes sense... and it works.

Copy recovery-RA-nexus-v2.0.0.img to the root of your sdcard.

Boot into recovery on your phone

Connect your phone via a usb cable to your pc

On your pc :

adb shell

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-nexus-v2.0.0.img

reboot your phone into recovery

That's it.
[Nexus One Android Development] gcng:
love this, thank you
[Nexus One Android Development] gravufo:
You were right, a clean reboot did do the job, and I AM on Cyanogen (latest nightly), but I'm sure my flash_image binary is 100% correct.

I still do find it odd to flash a recovery through the recovery, but I trust you :P Next time, if ever needed, I'll try from there ^^

Thanks a lot mate!
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
How do you know your flash_image binary is 100% correct? Did you code it yourself? Things are never bug free you know... :-)
[Nexus One Android Development] gravufo:
haha :P well, no I didn't and I know things are almost never bug free (I'm a learning programmer :D) but I have downloaded from a source, checked md5, flashed about 5 different phones and more than once on every phone... never had an issue except for this one ;)

But heh, all is good anyways!
[Nexus One Android Development] unk2009:
Is there a recovery for MT4G forthcoming ? Tthanks for all your hard work

:cool:
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
If a reboot solved the issue the bug should be in your phone's rom and not in the recovery... a reboot of your phone can't change the content of an img file on your pc's harddisk or whereever you stored the img to be flashed :-)
[Nexus One Android Development] Lamar720:
I understand what the first post says but, Has anyone got this to work with a locked bootloader?
[Nexus One Android Development] simms22:
try wiping data(in recovery) then flash a rom(cm6.1 is nice) and the gapps. then reboot.
[Nexus One Android Development] themetatron:
if you're already rooted, just follow the terminal instructions.
[Nexus One Android Development] AlkaholiK:
Yay, that actually worked, it flashed the image, but i havent tested any features yet.
[Nexus One Android Development] Lamar720:
Thanks for the heads up guys
[Nexus One Android Development] Niver:
Thnx for this release.

Is there any Development planned for another branch with psfreedom, pl3 and psn?
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
No, Klutsh is handling that : http://psfmod.klutsh.com/
[Nexus One Android Development] khaytsus:
I'm still on v1.7.0.1, any problems directly updating to this, existing nandroids, etc?

Thanks!!
[Nexus One Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Thanks for the new themed recovery :D

You´re the man ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] polarwhiteseal:
I did a lot of searching but I could not really find a solution to my problem. Perhaps I'm wording it wrong...

anyway, I normally use ROM manager to flash between Clockwork and Amon_RA. I put the 2.0.0 CM on the root of my SD card but ROM manager still displays and boots to 1.7.0.1. I could boot to 2.0.0 thru Terminal App. How do I get ROM manager to recognize and boot 2.0.0? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Android Development] dictionary:
I'm not sure that's how CW recovery works. I think they host the file on their server, and pull it from there .. not directly from your SD card. I could be wrong though.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
You can't. 1.7.0.1 is locked in liked mentioned above. Leave 2.0.0 on all the time or reflash when you want it. I made a copy of the flash command in Notes and just copy/paste command line into Terminal when I want 2.0.0.

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] polarwhiteseal:
Smart idea. Thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] :
You're welcome. I hate typing those long lines.

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] ultra99:
I don't understand what you have done here. You use 2 recoveries?? that's smart...but i have 1.9 alpha, so i guess i just have to replace it with 2.0.
[Nexus One Android Development] B3astofthe3ast:
I miss the care bear...:(
[Nexus One Android Development] abenk:
Everytime I press the power button on RECOVER option, I get a triangle with an exclamation point and a little android standing next to it. I CANNOT access that green recovery mode. Please help me.

update : Problem SOLVED thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
Clockwork needs to be updated with the newer version, I didn't do this yet.

I'll update once I have all recoveries on the same version.
[Nexus One Android Development] YoMarK:
v2.0, Nice!!

But why is "unlocked bootloader" still on the Pre-Requirements list?

I don't have a unlocked bootloader(used the exploit to root), and using Amon_RA for a long time now.
[Nexus One Android Development] Sistum Id:
Any reason why you didn't add PSFreedom options to 2.0?
[Nexus One Android Development] PhantomRampage:
What he said ^

I'd love to see this too :]
[Nexus One Android Development] musashiken:
I don't have an unlocked bootloader too. And I usually have problems installing recovery using the Terminal instructions stated in the OP.

It turns out that there are proper instructions to install amon's recovery on locked but rooted N1s.

The instructions on the N1 wiki always work without fail for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] mik101:
My bootloader is still locked and it seemed to install from terminal app in cm6.1-246 no problem. Wiping and reflashing with it as we speak. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Kiserai:
Potentially stupid question, but I'll just ask because I'm sure other people are wondering as well.

This says it flashes a new kernel. I prefer to keep the kernel I'm currently using on Enomther's ROM, so can I update to this version without updating the kernel or having to reflash my Enom kernel? And if I do flash back to Enom's kernel, will it cause potential issues with the recovery?

I guess I just don't understand why you would include a new kernel with the recovery.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] Vimglam:
+1

Still not flashed exactly due to this question.
[Nexus One Android Development] YoMarK:
You could see the recovery image as just a little ROM with special features, and thus it includes a kernel of it's own.

Upgrading recovery will not touch the kernel you're using in the "normal" ROM, nor is it dependant on it.
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
Because I'm lazy and didn't remove it... the first version of this recovery was made before the N1 was on the market and before you could root your phone without unlocking the bootloader :) I'll remove it...
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
The recovery has a kernel of it's own and has nothing to do with the rom's kernel...
[Nexus One Android Development] Vimglam:
Thanks for the reply. Going to flash it now...
[Nexus One Android Development] :
I do switch back and forth. Started with amon but got rommgr when flashing cm nightlies. easy and it has a restore to stock option. still trust amon more. had issues with cwmod unless I used it thru recovery and not thru rommgr.

only one possible at a time, so if i want amon I reflash thru terminal, and reflash cwmod thru rommgr when I want it.

Exact command line for the CM version of 2.0.0 thru terminal:

$su

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-nexus-v2.0.0-CM.img <enter>

#reboot
[Nexus One Android Development] khaytsus:
Amon,

Thank you for your great recovery :) Sorry if my question above is stupid, but I don't see it stated anywhere.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
You don't update per se, you just flash the new one in Termnal or Fastboot. With Fastboot (SDK/ADB) there is no underscore between flash and image

See my post above

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
I do two recoveries as well. RAs and the PSFreedom by Kluster.

I just rename mine Recovery1 and Recovery2

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery1.img <enter>

For everyday use.

Whenever I'm hacking the PS3 (which I don't play that often anymore)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery2.img <enter>

Done deal :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Guitarfreak26:
Hi Guys,

I think i rooted it ok, it said ok etc but i havnt had no options since..

Im using terminal on mac.. it just says cannot load file. where am i meant to be putting this img file?

thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] eighty1:
Curious but maybe silly question. When doing a backup and restoring does your apps that you have downloaded previously and therefore after always appear no matter what? For instance if I do a backup in recovery then flash a rom and later install some apps then go back and do a restore will all the apps I every downloaded always be there? Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] bonkasnucca:
other ways to flash recovery???

are the other ways to flash recovery also possible..like.. terminal emulator or adb or is fastboot the only way bcuz imo personal preference id rather not use fastboot
[Nexus One Android Development] Dayzee:
Was having real trouble with this as I got the file from the one attached to the post on MoDaCo. Thought it might be corrupt so I tried Rapidshare but it was being awkward - finally downloaded from the Mirror link in first post and I'm sorted. Think the MoDaCo link one is corrupt.

[Nexus One Android Development] krohnjw:
This may seem like an easy question, but I am unable to find a clear answer so far. If I am already rooted and unlocked (boot loader) will flashing the recovery reset the device again (as rooting did)?
[Nexus One Android Development] esincho:
no it won't
[Nexus One Android Development] krohnjw:
Outstanding, Thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] teknomanelvis:
ok so i rooted my phone now, and now i want the recovery. so do i flash it the same was like i did to flash the superboot. i placed the recovery image in the superboot folder and opened up a command screen then did the command and i get this

C:\Users\Crespo\Desktop\1.1-nexusone-superboot\1.1-nexusone-superboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.5.3.img

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\Crespo\Desktop\1.1-nexusone-superboot\1.1-nexusone-superboot>

can someone please help

need new fastboot for mac

wheredid you get this latest version of fastboot? i cant findit anywhere! im having exact same problems you are with old fastboot onmy nexus
[Nexus One Android Development] Huey85:
Any way to get a EXT2 to EXT3 upgrade function in this? I remember having it in the custom recovery for my Hero.
[Nexus One Android Development] Swervo:
http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=htc+fastboot&l=1

The fastboot on there works great on the Nexus.
[Nexus One Android Development] QMAN101:
If you still have your Hero, you can just use the recovery on it. That is what I did for my 16Gb SD before I put it in the Nexus One. Now it is at least set for Apps2SD if it is needed.
[Nexus One Android Development] Huey85:
Unfortunately I don't. But I have Paragon Partition Manager on my laptop so I use that. I was just after something on the go..
[Nexus One Android Development] gtxhckr818:
Recovery will not flash

I do not know but my flashboot always says cannot load when it tries to flash the recovery??? Any Help?
[Nexus One Android Development] droiddrop:
Can you give some more information, maybe a copy of what commands you're running or what you're doing exactly? I replied to you in the other thread.
[Nexus One Android Development] gtxhckr818:
Anthonys-Mac-mini:~ anthony$ fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.5.3.img

error: cannot load 'recovery-RA-nexus-v1.5.3.img'

The top is what I see in my terminal. Thank you for your help.
[Nexus One Android Development] droiddrop:
First off, when you type fasboot devices, does your device show up?

Hold your trackball, and then hit the power on button.

Make sure you are connected via usb.

Once the device is in fastboot type:

fastboot devices (maybe fasboot-mac devices)

If you see a device, you are good so far.

Then type fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.5.3.img (it may be fastboot-mac here)

Try to get the md5sum of the image it should be 9110eef47d4e684229768e3646d3171f maybe your download was corrupted? If so redownload it.

If this doesn't work type:

pwd

ls

in your terminal and paste the results here (just want to see if the .img is in the same dir as your fastboot.)

You're on a mac, so I may be giving you the wrong commands, but since it's based on freebsd, it should be similiar.
[Nexus One Android Development] gtxhckr818:
I am able to see a device. Its when I reach the step u mentioned i see a problem.
[Nexus One Android Development] khaytsus:
If you're responding to me, thanks, I typically use flash_image from adb.. N1, locked bootloader.

My question is more about using existing nandroid images, but I suppose even at that, restoring the old recovery isn't difficult if I had to. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] galaxys:
So will this recovery 'stick' this way, or do I still need to delete the stock recovery before rebooting?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Don't delete anything

Recovery will stick until you flash another recovery ie ClockworkMod

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] chobie:
Been 5 minutes now and I'm stuck with sending recovery on my console. ~_~

UPDATE: Ok installed it now successfully via phone's terminal
[Nexus One Android Development] cajer:
After I got my nexus back from HTC for a faulty power button, my nexus has been rooted via a replaced motherboard. Now I have already root my phone and unlocked the bootloader, however when I try to flash the recovery image I get

sending 'recovery' (4074 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image update error)

Also I can somehow access recovery, and it looks as it should. However when I try to backup my rom it says "Run 'nandroid-moblie.sh' via adb!" and similar things when I try any other the other options. Could someone please help with this?
[Nexus One Android Development] Kiserai:
Thanks YoMark and Amon Ra for the explanation here. Never realized the recovery partition needed its own kernel, but I guess it makes sense now.

Flashing 2.0.0 now.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
For those using the stock ROM, it will NOT stick without deleting (or renaming) these two files:

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

Unless, obviously, you have deleted or renamed them previously...
[Nexus One Android Development] galaxys:
Thanks for clarifying. I had renamed mine, so it looks like I'm good to go. :cool:
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Wasn't sure on your question really. But, doing a nandroid won't change or delete your recovery. If that is what you are asking.

Thought there was no underscore between flash_image in ADB, quess I was wrong. Glad to know you can use ADB with locked bootloader. Someone else asked that in another forum, wasn't sure, but thought you could.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Haven't had that issue. But, here a starting point.
