CACHE:recovery/log

Pissed.

Had Cyan 5.0.6 working fine on amon162

decided to upgrade to amon-ra-170cyan to be able to do a nandroid backup

after i flashed recovery 170cyan, i get a message

"E:Error in CACHE:recovery/log

(No space left on device)"

My phone wont boot, a nandroid restore did nothing, besides return that same error after it completed.

When I say wont boot, it wont move past the Nexus screen, no animation, just the + sign.

any advice? help? please? pretty please almighty devs?

---

edit 1: Wiping Dalvik/Cache is atleast getting me into animation part of bootloader.. still waiting for more

edit 2: Awesome. Life is fine. Dont quite understand why, so if anyone would like to elaborate..

Leaving it all up just incase it helps someone else
[Nexus One Android Development] hyperandy:
Never mind, tried something else now all I get is an explanation point with an android guy. I can toggle the volume up and power to get into a basic recovery, but not only am I getting the E:Can't read MISC: errors, but I am also not able to adb or fastboot into the device anymore... I can't even load the proper update.zip because of the "E:Can't read MISC: errors" I am guessing I got one of the units with bad memory blocks and during my flashing I wrote to them and now I have a paper weight, lucky me! if any one else has suggestions I will definitely take them
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
Just delete files in /CACHE...
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
Download this file and put it on the root of your sdcard.

Boot into my RA recovery

adb shell

mount -a

flash_image misc /sdcard/misc.img

It's possibletaht sometime when I wipe battery stats, the recovery take 1 second; in other time take about 15 seconds.

I try different way and same result.

When I take more seconds, seem that battery stats are real wipe, in the other case not. I see it from battery duration.
[Nexus One Android Development] hyperandy:
I wish I had found this last night. Before I tries something that has put me in a bit of a pickle. I think I am beyond that at the moment.

I can't adb or get into your recovery, just to the Explanation point with an android and when I toggle I can get to a really basic recovery screen which doesn't seem to be taking any updates.

I am thinking it's looking for a specific update.zip package and until I provide it I can't boot. I installed files corresponding to EDR79 and I "think" I need to use an update referring to that. I have tried using (signed-passion-ERE27-from-ERD79) and it almost works.it just says file_getprop: failed to stat "system/build.prop":no such file or directory, which sadly is the best error message I have had recently
[Nexus One Android Development] hyperandy:
It looks like I need an officially signed (not developer signed) nexus one update.zip, I have tried probably 100 now, does anyone has one or can point me to another one to try. I am thinking if I can get an official rom loaded I might be able to but the ra recovery rom back on properly
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
All these problems have nothing to do with this recovery... but ok.

Download this file, put in on the root of your sdcard.

Boot into hboot by holding down volume down + trackball while pressing the volume button (release the powerbutton but keep holding volume down + trackball). Hboot will automatically pick up the PASSIMG.zip file.

Flash the update file by pressing volume up (when it asks).

This should also solve your MISC issues at the same time.
[Nexus One Android Development] hyperandy:
how long should I hold those down, it just keeps coming up to the Android with the explanation point on it. sometimes I get a green light and some times I don't. but other then that I just see the Android with the Explanation point.
[Nexus One Android Development] hyperandy:
I know you are thinking I am an idiot but I promise I have a general idea of what I am doing and, it's just not working.

Currently I still only get the android with the explanation.

I can toggle the power and volume to get to the Recovery 2e screen (which appears to be a basic android recover option).

I have no access to fastboot or adb while in the recovery.

I am only able to apply an update.zip file. but nothing works so far (and it's only accepting officially good signed packages)

I am unable to get into an hboot (or the skating androids screen at all)

No combination of keys seem to do allow me into any other window..been at this for about 9 hours now...
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
I think you messed up the SPL, did you flash an SPL of another phone (not the nexus one)?

I don't think there's much more you can do... does your phone still boot normally?
[Nexus One Android Development] hyperandy:
I don't believe I did but I have downloaded 100 different packages. the last packages I pushed before it stopped getting into your recover was from a package named PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_1.01.1700.1_ERD79_release_signed

that seems to kill it after a reboot. All I get is the Android recovery 2e now. it only allows a signed update.zip file from there it appears. EDIT: sorry an officially signed update.zip...the signed-passion-ERE27-from-ERD79.a487b405 gets the closest to working but says there an issue with the build.prop. but it tries to flash it, and doesn't try to flash any other packages
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
Why are you trying to flash an ota update from ERE27 to ERD79 when you are already on ERD79?

- PASSIMG_*.zip files are NOT update files, they are NOT the same as update_*.zip files!

- PASSIMG_*.zip files are flashed via the bootloader

- update_*.zip files are flashed via recovery

Please create a thread in the General section where people can help you further, this doesn't belong in this thread.
[Nexus One Android Development] hyperandy:
ya I know I was just trying to get the phone to respond to something...I will try that then (starting a thread), thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

Its looking like I bricked it, crap
[Nexus One Android Development] Stonejaw:
Hi guys I have a quick question.

When doing a nandroid recovery will it recover all apps and settings, texts, everything that you had at the time of the nandroid backup?

By reading the forum I think that is what happens but I just wanted to confirm it to be true before I go wiping my rom and trying others.

Thanks for the help guys
[Nexus One Android Development] Chosen_on184:
To my knowledge it will recover apps and settings not sure about the text even though i think that should be included .. however the app data which is basically any saves or achievements you made in a game or passwords etc you have in a apk wont. use titanium back in the market for that
[Nexus One Android Development] wallooda:
great job

thanksssss
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Can anyone please point me to a guide to go back to the stock recovery image? I did a forum search, but as usual found about 1,000 threads...none of which contained what I'm looking for.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] maxawesome:
I am also interested in going back to the stock recovery console. Is this stickied anywhere? I couldn't find it...used built-in search and Google search on this site.

EDIT: SOLVED! I got it to work somehow. I switched from the cyanogen version to the regular one.. and didn't change the filename to recovery.img before flashing and suddenly it worked.. not sure what I did differently.

I'm having problems installing your recovery image.. so far I've unlocked my phones bootloader and used fastboot to flash radio_20100203_2_Signed_PASSION.img and it succeeded..

next I did this

c:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices

HT9CPP807668 fastboot

c:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash recovery Recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (3962 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... OKAY

but when I boot the phone and use the down arrow to select recovery, then press power.. it just boots to a screen with an exclamation point and little android..

I used adb shell and looked in system/etc and an install-recovery.sh does exist..

not sure where to go from here..
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
Yes it will.

Extract the stock recovery.img from the stock zip and flash it via fastboot or adb.

I'll not be making a next version sorry.
[Nexus One Android Development] imfloflo:
@Amon_RA :'( too bad you don't have Nexus anymore or no time ?

Is your work (source code) avalaible somewhere to let other chef like @koush use it to mix your awesome recovery with his?
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
Not a lot of time currently and Koush has a great recovery anyway.

[Nexus One Android Development] bmcclure937:
:( thanks for all your hard work. definitely appreciate the nice recovery image
[Nexus One Android Development] landstander:
I'm sorry to hear that. Your recovery image has always been simple to use, and rock solid in my experience (MT3G and N1 versions). Thanx for all the work you've put into it up to now! :)

For those of us who haven't been tracking the various recovery options, is there a specific replacement that you'd recommend trying out?
[Nexus One Android Development] irishrally:
Also sorry to you hear you won't be making another version. I'm loving my 1.7 cycan anyway.

If and when you make a recovery for Nexus 2, I would love to be able to chose the name of the backups. I do so many backups that it's hard for me to remember which is which when I want to go back to a certain configuration.

Thanks for all the great work.
[Nexus One Android Development] blaboy51:
you can name you backups just dont use any spaces
[Nexus One Android Development] Royan:
Thanks for your excellent work.

Your recovery has worked flawlessly, and is a great piece of work :)

[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
"not found" means that it doesn't find the flash_image binary... make sure you have the binary or just use fastboot to flash it.

For some reason this didn't work when trying to do an ext restore. It keeps giving mean an error to run "nandroid-mobilel.sh restore" in adb but adb gives me another error saying "nandroid-mobile.sh is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

<<Check if there's no /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script if you keep booting back in the stock recovery (exclamation mark with a little Android).>>

Where do you check that?
[Nexus One Android Development] codington:
adb commands are issued from your computer's command prompt. Ensure your phone is attached to the USB cable and verify you can see your phone from your computer. From a windows command prompt type adb devices. If the command returns "List of devices attached" followed by "HT***** device" your computer can see your phone and you can run adb commands. Run the adb commands suggested above to restore root.

where can i get the stock recovery from I need to send my phone back
[Nexus One Android Development] Buck Shot:
i think i had 1.6.2 or something. I always want the latest stable item. Thanks man.

If there is anything newer, someone let me know
[Nexus One Android Development] codington:
You can either flash the original stock ROM or you can extract the stock recovery image and load it through fastboot. MoDaCo has all the links and instructions

here

. You can find ERD79 ROM (stock) in update.zip format

here

- wipe and then flash from recovery. You can also download and extract the ERD79 recovery image

here

then flash with fastboot if you prefer to just restore the stock recovery image.
[Nexus One Android Development] iseebird:
Anyone know why I am getting the exclamation point with the android when trying to get into recovery mode?

I unlocked the bootloader and used superboot. I have looked everywhere for the answer. I cannot get the Amon_RA 1.7.0 to work with my nexus. My build is ERE27. Let me know if I might be doing any thing wrong. I am also using a mac, dont know if there is a different. Thanks.

<<Check if there's no /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script if you keep booting back in the stock recovery (exclamation mark with a little Android).>>

I also noticed this but I have no idea what it means or where to type this in.

Changing from Clockwork Mod to Aman RA

Hi,

I have ClockWorkMOD recovery right now. I would like to use Amon RA since I am very used to Amon RA. How can I do that since I already have a recovery in place? Please help.

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] codington:
Amon_RA 1.7.0 recovery partition is not found. Did you get errors after you performed the fastboot flash command? If you follow the instructions on the OP, it works as expected.

via fastboot

Copy recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding the trackball)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img

Use Astro or any filemanager on your phone and check if the file install-recovery.sh script is found in /system/etc

what's the difference between cyanogenmod and normal versions?

Hi all,

Soon to be N1 user doing some research. Trying to figure out all this stuff and had a question.

What's the reason for two versions? Why does the normal version not work with cyanogenmod?
[Nexus One Android Development] imfloflo:
Differences between 1.7.0 and 1.6.2

Version v1.7.0 supports the new Apps2SD method (CM v5.0.5), the old method is no longer supported!

Please use version v1.6.2 if you still require support for the old Apps2SD method!

The difference between 1.7.0 version is only the background image i tought

Flash back a stock ROM. Nobody will give you a nandroid as they contain personal info, and it is really not needed.

[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
yep.

this is totally normal.

your phone is just searching for a default IMG from HTC to apply.

I supposed it was used only by manufacturer, because you have more powerfull custom recoveries now.
[Nexus One Android Development] Saphroxx:
Hmm so everyone using Amon_RA gets this message before going into Recovery?

I understand the logic but would have thought way more people would complain about it if everyone has it.
[Nexus One Android Development] treich007:
So I have a Nexus One with Cyanogen 5.0.7-N1 and was using Clockworkmod recovery (not sure which version). I decided that I would like to try and flash the cyanogen version of 1.7.0. So I followed the code as laid out in the original post except I added"-cyan" right before the .img part. So basically this is what I did via terminal:

via terminal app

Code:

Copy recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0-cyan.img to the root of your sdcard

start the terminal app

su(press enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0-cyan.img(press enter)

reboot recovery(press enter)

After finishing these steps it started to reboot into recovery but was stuck on the colorful X screen. As this wasn't going anywhere I decided to remove the batter any restart the phone. It booted just fine. I then turned off the phone and tried to enter recovery manually but again stopped at the colorful X screen. I then installed ROM Manager from the marketplace and flashed Clockworkmod again but still does not go into recovery. Any suggestions?
[Nexus One Android Development] futango:
try renaming the file to recovery.img and flash again.
[Nexus One Android Development] treich007:
I actually just tried that and that didn't work either.
[Nexus One Android Development] jerryfanyang:
I had the same problem when booting into the cyan recovery. Just flash the normal one in and you will be fine.
[Nexus One Android Development] treich007:
Unfortunately that did not work either. I am still not able to get into recovery. I have waited at the colorful X screen for about 5 minutes. Should I wait longer?
[Nexus One Android Development] jerryfanyang:
have you tried the fastboot method? I dont think you should wait for 5 min for it to load. The normal came up after about 1-2 sec.
[Nexus One Android Development] treich007:
Jerry, Ill have to try fastboot when I get home. I can't do that on my work computer.
[Nexus One Android Development] treich007:
Is there a way to fix this without fastboot as I am completely unfamiliar with fastboot. Either that or I could really use a noob link to a tutorial on how to do this on my mac. Thanks for the help so far.
[Nexus One Android Development] treich007:
I feel amazing right now. I somehow managed to conquer this problem. I used fastboot and resolved the problem. Thanks Jerry for your advice.
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
The messages you get are hboot messages, they are NOT related to my recovery at all.

As far as I know you always get these messages when you select fastboot.

If you want a faster way to boot into recovery you can download "Quick Boot" from the market.
[Nexus One Android Development] Saphroxx:
Thx alot for clearing this out and for the suggestion. Gonna check it out.
