Every time I use this to do a backup now it tells me that there is an error and it says to go to adb. Am I doing something wrong here? I am about to go back to 1.5.3 and see if it still acts up, but right now I cannot do a ondevice backup using 1.6.0

I am using CM5.0.3.

Edit: I went back to 1.5.3 and I am getting the exact same error now as well. I am about to give up and reflash everything back to basics at this point...
[Nexus One Android Development] simms22:
i flashed via terminal, like this(i flashed the carebear version)....

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.0.img

reboot recovery

or

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.0-carebear.img

reboot recovery
[Nexus One Android Development] simms22:
either plug in or charge your battery. you get that error when power is below 40%
[Nexus One Android Development] aniteshj:
Ah nevermind apparently the SD card failed to load, don't ask me how, it was pushed in all the way and secured, but that did the trick and 1.6.0 is working fine now. Dodged a bullet I thought I messed something up something REAL good...
[Nexus One Android Development] pjcforpres:
I really like the care bear special edition! Thanks for the laugh.
[Nexus One Android Development] Huey85:
maybe the ultra secret feature was the carebear lol.
[Nexus One Android Development] clintm33:
Great work Amon_RA. Thanks for all your hard work!
[Nexus One Android Development] RonnieFoxxx:
I'm starting to think the "secret feature" was he made a with bet someone that he could get people to flash a recovery image with a care bear background.
[Nexus One Android Development] gtrplr71:
I have flashed both and there is no diff. as far as I can tell. I dig carebear :o
[Nexus One Android Development] clustered:
again... thanks very much! and for the partition convertion too..
[Nexus One Android Development] t0pgun:
BIG UP!

Great work Thanks Guys!

Help with img file not loading

OK, i have read through the whole thread and searched here and throughout the Nexus One forum and I cannot figure out why I am still getting this error.

I have unlocked my bootloader via fastboot and I am trying to flash the recovery image and keep getting the following error:

Damon-Nashs-MacBook-Pro:~ dnash$ /Users/dnash/Desktop/NexusOneSense/fastboot/fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.0-carebear.img

error: cannot load 'recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.0-carebear.img'

I have made sure I have the img file in the working directory of fastboot. Is there anything else I can try?
[Nexus One Android Development] ndvlevy:
some questions

hi there,

can you help me understand some aspects of the new recovery or point me to a place where it is written...

what is a:

1. "Wipe Dalvik-cache "

2."BART backup" and what is the defirence from nand?

3."Nand + ext backup"and what is the defirence...

thanks

try ./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.0-carebear.img

so i think u r missing the period before the /
[Nexus One Android Development] eug89:
I've flashed the carebear recovery:D and now each time I boot in recovery and then I reboot the phone normally the date and the hour are resetted to 02/14/1980..:confused::eek:...is it this the carebear extra feature? :D BTW i gave a diff -r comand between the ramdisk of the two recovery to see what's different and,apart from the carebear png, there's a different recovery binary in xbin...
[Nexus One Android Development] nomad24:
Tried it and got this:

Damon-Nashs-MacBook-Pro:~ dnash$ /Users/dnash/Desktop/NexusOneSense/fastboot./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.0-carebear.img

-bash: /Users/dnash/Desktop/NexusOneSense/fastboot./fastboot-mac: No such file or directory

Should i relocate the files to the another location? This location worked for unlocking the bootloader.
[Nexus One Android Development] sstang2006:
Guys forget about fastboot.. put recovery.img on root of sdcard, go to terminal aNd type:

su

flash_image recovery sdcard/recovery.img

And you are done...
[Nexus One Android Development] PredatorX14:
place the recovery img inside the fastboot folder

open terminal,type cd "folder location"(drag and drop)

then type ./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.0-carebear.img
[Nexus One Android Development] bobtentpeg:
You really need to add this all to your path...

Download the Android SDK Here

Unpack it

Rename the fastboot-mac binary to just fastboot

Copy it to the "tools" folder from the SDK

Rename the wole sdk folder to androidstk

Open terminal and type:

sudo cp *drop your android STK folder here* /etc/

Now type: open -a textedit ~/.bash_profile

add the line

export PATH=${PATH}:/etc/androidstk/tools

Save it

Now you can just type adb/fastboot in terminal without needing to find the binary or use the "./" prefix.

If you get an error when trying to open the .bash_profile:

Put this in /users/YOU and unzip

http://idzr.org/i3ei
[Nexus One Android Development] duylong186:
You have to go to the directory first:

cd Users/dnash/Desktop/NexusOneSense/fastboot

after that you should be in the fastboot folder: ~ fastboot dnash$

from that run

HTC DESIRE Modaco Rom..

Hey Just so you guys know i.e. Modoco Desire Users - Quick Boot Does Not work with this and so you don't have to do finger acrobatics download download REBOOT WIDGET and you should be fine. Actually has more features than Quick Boot

Thanks, Amon for this masterpiece... I love the updates comes out very handy especially that I never used partitions and ext's on my SD's. Thanks... :o
[Nexus One Android Development] JHaste:
works, looks good! thanks man for the update!
[Nexus One Android Development] flak0:
Can this be Installed the old school way through the terminal emulator?

Or is fastboot method required?
[Nexus One Android Development] bobtentpeg:
Works just fine ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] krumb:
flashed the new image.

then nandroid backup.

then wipe, flash modaco rom. wasn't a fan (sense is not appealing to me).

did a backup (from my nandroid), and I still lost root.

reflashed and regained root, but just wanted to give a heads up.
[Nexus One Android Development] Z51:
i cannot for the life of me do this on this PIECE OF **** MAC im on. someone please direct me a tutorial for this on mac.... its seriously about to fly out the window
[Nexus One Android Development] RonnieFoxxx:
What are you getting stuck on? I used my macbook to flash 1.6.0 no problem.
[Nexus One Android Development] bobtentpeg:
Wow, you're not only retarded but also don't know how to read :) Great combination you've got there. Try looking at the last few pages.
[Nexus One Android Development] Z51:
the problem is this mac doesnt recognize fastboot devices. I dont understand whats happenning, I rooted my phone on this very mac!

any help with fastboot?
[Nexus One Android Development] bobtentpeg:
Given there are no drivers needed uner OS X for this phone, you should be just fine unless you have a bad cord
[Nexus One Android Development] mortzz:
That did it, many thanks!

[Nexus One Android Development] Lodell:
Can you link me to more info or explain for me. thx
[Nexus One Android Development] RonnieFoxxx:
are you sure you are in fastboot? what does it say in between the green and orange text on the phone while trying to run fastboot?
[Nexus One Android Development] irishrally:
Sweet, thanks.

Interested to know what the trades off are for having this really FABULOUS recovery splash screen and unknown secret features ...

Mod edit: Please refrain from being insensitive ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] chmilu:
flashed the new recovery, thanks a lot.
[Nexus One Android Development] lightforce:
new version works great. thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] eXelero:
flashed it successfully, but after nandroid backup i lost root.

then used Amon_RA's suggestion:

adb remount
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

and it all works fine now with root.

thanx ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] packetlss:
Was the backup taken before or after the recovery was upgraded?
[Nexus One Android Development] Prod1702:
Works great Thanks for the hard work keep it up.
[Nexus One Android Development] krumb:
I had the same thing happen...AND the backup was taken after the upgraded recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] Stea1thmode:
does this lastest version fix the ' lost of root issue ' issue?
[Nexus One Android Development] packetlss:
Bummer. I thought we squashed that bug. Well, back to hunting it again then.
[Nexus One Android Development] nmeofdst8:
weirdest thing happened...

got 1.6.0 on there no problem. Rebooted.

wireless unable to be started. rebooted, back into recovery, back into fastboot, took battery out...nada

go to push .ko file, no device found, adb nada

go into recovery, adb file over, restart..nada

just about to reflash .32 kernal thinking the 1.6.0 somehow messed it up and retried adb for like the 6th time...bam

pushed the .ko file over and all is ok again...anyone have an idea why this happened or has it happened to you before?
[Nexus One Android Development] phate:
Just flashed the new version and am now rocking the Carebear.

For those who don't know, the SECRET feature of this recovery is to attract chicks with cuteness. Its working great so far, got the three girls in my office all over me :cool:
[Nexus One Android Development] imfloflo:
Flash ok i prefered when the recovey was green instead yellow ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] icon57:
same here, but as always...a big thank you sir
[Nexus One Android Development] rotohammer:
Yellow...

I'm partial to it :)
[Nexus One Android Development] FettsVett:
Is there some technical reason that this can't be flashed by an update.zip? If not, would anyone care to provide me with one? (I already have 1.5.X on the phone)
[Nexus One Android Development] ggrant3876:
Redbull on the way, awesome job.
[Nexus One Android Development] eighty1:
Able to provide a mirror besides RS? Thanks for your work
[Nexus One Android Development] rgl12miami:
Click Mirror on the very first post... ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] chirayu:
The technical reason being that the update.zip would require a recovery to be working when you are flashing it?

No one can provide you with one.
[Nexus One Android Development] McFroger3:
Im still losing root when using nandroid with the updated recovery image.
[Nexus One Android Development] evidenc3:
Have to agree the green text was easier on the eyes. Flash went seamlessly, appreciate the effort :)
[Nexus One Android Development] eighty1:
WOW! I feel like Homer Simpson or Peter Griffin right now.:o Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] FettsVett:
Hmm, perhaps you should read my post again, because I'm pretty sure that It said that I already had a working RA recovery image. Ah, yes, here it is:

Oh, and it does seem that its possible to flash a recovery image from a signed zip - as there is one on HTC's website: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html

I'm also pretty sure that someone can provide me with one if they want to.

But, thanks for replying!

Would anyone else be so kind as to PM me with a signed zip of this, I don't have a computer to update this with - the computer I'm using is too locked down to use adb or fastboot.
[Nexus One Android Development] evidenc3:
Try 'su flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-nexus-V1.6.0.img' from a local terminal.
[Nexus One Android Development] FettsVett:
Thanks, I've been wondering if that was possible for quite a while now :)
[Nexus One Android Development] simms22:
must not have read my post from yesterday then. i posted instructions for both versions :p

Root lost after this update

Hi!

I have done everything - But i can't get my root back on my Nexus one after installing this recovery-update..

:confused:

Flashed latest radio (Radio_20100203_2_Signed_PASSION)

Flashed latest CyanogenMod (update-cm-5.0.3.1-N1-signed.zip)

Flashed latest recovery-update (RA-nexus-v1.6.0)

No root...

Operating-system used here is : Windows 7 Ultimate.. No problem to Fastboot device & flashing it.. But ADB is aswell not working.. it simply doesn't find the phone.. <-- another problem though.. just wanted to share it aswell.. if it is of any help to get my root back.. ;-)

Looking forward to hear comments on this one..

Thanks in advance

/drkaos
[Nexus One Android Development] gtrplr71:
that is not the recovery image you think it is that is the ADP rom where you around in the g1 days with the C&D going on?
[Nexus One Android Development] ggrant3876:
Lost root twice after a nandroid, just reflashed cyan and root came back.
[Nexus One Android Development] McFroger3:
Thanks Man. =D
[Nexus One Android Development] nomad24:
Thanks alot everyone. i got it working. I just dragged and dropped the fastboot-mac file into terminal then typed flash recovery and dragged and dropped the recovery image file and it worked. Then I installed the MoDaCo custom rom with Sense and I am in love all over again with this phone.

Thanks again for all your help!
[Nexus One Android Development] jeffokada81:
I lost root and Tried the above ADB command and still no luck. I'm not sure if I lost root after install of Recovery or Cyanogen's N1 1.5.3.1. Anyone have any other suggestions? If I try to re-flash Superboot my phone FC's everything at boot.
[Nexus One Android Development] erichoatwork:
Hi, I am newbie here, just oem unlocked

I've been trying to flash the recovery with the following, but strangely the flash seems not taking any effects and the recovery seems to remain the stock one~ Can someone pls tell me what is going wrong? Thanks a lot!

Eric

>fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.0-

carebear.img

sending 'recovery' (3934 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... OKAY
[Nexus One Android Development] evidenc3:
Hold the trackball button while turning it on and hit recovery from the menu options, that's the recovery. I'm thinking your thinkin the boot loader with a white screen with the robot icon is the recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] sandyturley:
Where did I go wrong?

I followed the instructions and got the phone unlocked. got the recovery image on the phone and in the command window it said installed. Went to boot into recovery, selected recovery and the phone locked up with at little warning sign and a little green fellow. so I held down the tracker ball and power button and it rebooted itself. Again I went to the command window and it recognized the device so I typed in adb fastboot recovery and it ran a whole string of stuff and the phone stayed the same so I rebooted and it still is as it was when it got wiped and none of my info and apps are back and the setting are set back to original.

did I miss a step or something. How can I start over?

thanks for your help,

Sandy
[Nexus One Android Development] erichoatwork:
Thanks for helping, but no.. i got into recovery just like you said, but it is not the RA recovery which got loaded up, it remained the stock recovery "Android system recovery <2e>".

how comes the flash was "OK" but has no effect?
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
Indeed, for some reason I couldn't get those sens buttons to work... :(

I guess I'll need to fiddle around with the kernel to make those buttons work in recovery mode (kernel source seems to be released just now).

I'll try to get the buttons working once I have a Nexus (bit hard to test without an actual phone)
[Nexus One Android Development] NexVision:
You did a great job for not having the phone brother...
[Nexus One Android Development] Carloswithac:
LMAO, Cyanogen!

Already did my first Nandroid!

Thanks, Amon_RA!
[Nexus One Android Development] DaveKid:
Amon_RA

Could you explain the steps to me a bit more. I already have an unlocked bootloader and a rooted phone. I downloaded the img file and put it at the root of my c: drive.

Should I put it on the SD card. Is that what you meant by putting it in a place where fastboot can find it?

I powered on into fastboot mode.

I connected the phone via usb

those next 2 commands I'm not understanding how to run.
[Nexus One Android Development] QMAN101:
@DaveKid

I would put the image in the sdk tools\directory (where fastboot.exe is located)

You type fastboot devices at the prompt. This should show your Nexus by serial number and show that it is in fastboot mode (similar to when you typed adb devices for your other phone in adb)

The next line is to be typed after you verify that you have everything set up correctly. Press enter at the end of that line. It will flash the recovery image onto your Nexus.

Done!

I don't get mine til tomorrow and cannot wait. Good thing I got it shipped to work.
[Nexus One Android Development] seraph1024:
I don't think you'll ever need to install apps on SD. Too slow IMHO. They are great for MT3G and G1 but on things like 32A Magic, Hero and esp. Nexus, its not needed.

As for recovery, I just use the adb command to get there.

./adb-mac reboot recovery

in your case, it might be adb reboot recovery
[Nexus One Android Development] DaveKid:
that is where you are losing me. so are you talking about using SDK tools? meaning i think something like open a cmd prompt, "cd" into the AndroidSDK folder, then "adb devices" at the command prompt, etc. etc?
[Nexus One Android Development] josharmour:
Excellent!
[Nexus One Android Development] seraph1024:
PM me tomorrow. I can help you out remotely if needed.

[Nexus One Android Development] swetland:
The soft buttons are handled entirely in userspace. The touchpanel extends past the visible bottom of the screen. The only thing the kernel does is provide a hint to userspace as to where the soft button active areas are.

Look at mahimahi_virtual_keys_attr in board-mahimahi.c
[Nexus One Android Development] 11ryan11:
Thank You Amon_RA

Recovery image successfully installed and works beautifully!

Are you going to eventually update to have both nandroid backup and bart?
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
I intentionally left all ext partition tools (BART, switchrom, etc..) out of the recovery because there's really no need to use ext for apps2sd on the Nexus, there's plenty of space.
[Nexus One Android Development] 11ryan11:
ahh! ok cool... makes sense lol i shoulda put 2 and 2 together...

When you getting your n1?
[Nexus One Android Development] ccunningham83:
Couldn't we still use BART? That is my favorite feature of your custom recoverys. I has saved my butt too many times. I know there isn't a whole lot of modifications we can do to the phone right now, but I'm sure that will come.

Also, I don't think it really needs it, but what about a swap partition? I mean the phone is crazy fast, but like cars, it can always be faster.
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
Why would you need BART when you have Nandroid? What is the extra added value (without ext)?

Swap will not make it any faster.
[Nexus One Android Development] Chinpokomon:
Thank you for the quick and speedy update! I'm looking forward to the significant hardware improvements over my G1. I think I'm going to be very happy with this as my new phone. G* really did a good job keeping us developers in mind.
[Nexus One Android Development] rlplking:
so should i take my ext partition off my memory card or leave it there??????
[Nexus One Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
This might sound odd coming from me(with all the work I did with appstosd on the G1) but I actually agree with you there. Though, the main reason I agree is that Google stated they have their own appstosd implementation coming in a soon-to-come release of android. Personally, I think the more space we can get for apps, the better, but I'm fine with letting Google handle that part.
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
Yes, it's just taking up useless space right now ;)

The following will clear everything on your SDcard!!! :

Make a backup of your SD to your PC (if needed)

Boot into recovery mode

Select Partition sdcard

Select Partition SD

Press the trackball to confirm

Scroll the trackball down until the swap-size = 0MB

Press the trackball to confirm

Scroll the trackball down until the ext-size = 0MB

Press the trackball to confirm

Press the trackball to confirm

Wait for it to finish partitioning

Reboot your phone

Select Menu - Settings - Sd card & phone storage - Unmound SD card - Format SD card

Is it possible to flash the recovery via a terminal app on the nexus one? Like using better terminal maybe? I did that many times back on my g1 (r.i.p.)...

member

after reading the whole Thread I got it working on a mac. one of my problems was that I had the recovery img on the sd card I put it on the trash and just had one on the tools file then I run terminal on my mac and it work. thanks a lot guys.
[Nexus One Android Development] eXelero:
your adb executable has some extensions in the name and those should be used depending on your operating system.

so, if you are on windows, you will have to use the adb-windows.exe, this means that if you don't rename that executable to adb.exe, your command line will look like:

adb-windwos remount
adb-windows blablabla

i hope it's clear now :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
There's currently a small bug which will make you lose su rights in some cases.

The problems you mention are not related to this however... very weird.
