Hey guys. So Toastcfh and I had a brilliant idea. We decided that since we can replace our phones kernel, we should also be able to replace the recovery image's kernel too. With this idea i took amon_ra's recovery image, split it up and added toast's bfs kernel onto it. Now we can have recovery running at 768 mhz!

This Recovery Image only affects your Recovery, not your phone's kernel and system when you boot your rom. So stop asking if it will force you to use Overclock. It won't

This was done just for fun and to get nandroid + ext4 to work. We hope that amon_ra will include ext4 and many more cool features in his next version of his recovery :)

What this recovery has that your current one doesn't are the cpu overclocked at 768 mhz, Brain **** Scheduler, EXT4 support, and your favorite dev's avatar. With Ext4 support you guys should now be able to backup your ext4 partition with nandroid + ext

This is pretty much amon_ra's recovery just themed with toast's and my avatar + a more up to date kernel.

How to Flash these images

put the image on your sdcard and from recovery do this

adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/[I]nameofrecovery[/I].img

CHANGELOG

1.0-r2 - edited the kernel to peg at a 768 mhz when doing recovery processes to decrease time

So we can use this with the .29 kernal and the camera will still work???

i'm sorry toast but darth's theme is what i'm going to use. lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] OtisFeelgood:
dot dot dot to you too. ;o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
this only affects recovery, not your phone's system. you'll still have your .29 kernel when you boot up your phone's system.

a darch img or a toash one! Its to hard to choose!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
I'm assuming this will make all procedures such as nandroid run faster? Sounds good :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] usq:
so cool!

you guys really are amazing. i have been needing to upgrade to amon_ra's recovery (still using 1.5.2?).

makes for some pretty good bar room bragging rights... 'yeah, well is your recovery overclocked?'. :D

i will have to check out how much of a difference it makes when backing up and flashing.

cheers and keep up the great work,

ryan
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
You mean, is your recovery overclocked? I don't think so hehe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smarcin:
Yeah, that's great for bar room talk :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
Holy crap that thing is FAST!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
Sorry Darch, Toast won the coin toss.

This recovery is FAST
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
lol, i don't blame ya. his avatar matches with the colors better than mine. i'll theme mine and toast's up later with better colors later
[Hero CDMA Android Development] corybucher:
Any special way to install these?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
put up a how to on the first post
[Hero CDMA Android Development] corybucher:
Thank you.

Could you give me the commands to do it from the phone itself? don't have the setup on my mac right now and both my pc's took a crap on me a couple days ago.

Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Where should I see the most speed increase? I didn't flash a new ROM, but I did do a nandroid, and it didn't seem any faster than normal.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Hold on there...Toast can claim both...he does have an overclocked ROM (FreshToast)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rsoehelk:
Can't i just place it on the r0ot of my sd Card and flash it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Recoveries flash differently than ROMs. The first post does a good job of explaining it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] comintern:
Anyone come up with a solution for this yet? I'm running into the same issue. I've tried flashing back to the 1.7 recovery, but I'm not sure the flash is working it returns to the shell prompt almost instantaneously (kinda like it isn't doing anything). I can still boot into Darchdroid v2.6.2, just can't get to recovery to flash anything else and I need to check my voicemail :D.

hey can anyone help me i tried flashing this recovery image through adb and terminal emulator and when i hold home and power it restarts i cant figure it out any idea?

this is what i typed

flash_image recovery /sdcard/ToAsTcfh-OC-recovery-r2.img

Update: Ok so darch's Recovery Image worked but for some reason toasts doesnt
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lokipimpin:
adb shell

su

cd /sdcard/

flash_image recovery ToAsTcfh-OC-recovery-r2.img

this is the correct method..hope it helps!:cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KEWL.KID.TECHNOLOGY:
<apologizes to moderators>Not to get off topic...sorry moderators but can i ask this one question.<apologizes to moderators>

<question to lokipimpin>did you flash the splash image that says HTC when you first start the phone?

<question to lokipimpin>
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david_ag:
I'm trying to flash this recovery image, but I get this kind of error after the flash_image recovery /sdcard/BLAHBLAH.img

I have no idea why. I searched XDA, and found that people with GSM phones, delete the recovery image they have and then flash a new one to get rid of tihs record. I read somerthing about fastboot. Anyone have any ideas? I also have no idea where to get fastboot or if I can use it on the Cdma Hero. Help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david_ag:
To anyone whom it may help, I was able to delete the old recovery inside the sdk/tools/ with the command

fastboot delete ecovery

And then, was able to flash the recovery as normal, with the commands from the first post.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BB15:
If you're having trouble just download ROM Manager from the market, open it up and select "Flash Alternative Recovery" *you'll need to flash Clockwork when you start up RM*

Hero/eris (htc)

I'm a HTC Droid Eris owner, and wanted to see how much if any of a difference the recovery would be from HERO/ERIS. This is really AWESOME, and would love to run GodSpeed Recovery via HTC:DE.

My question is would it be possibe, and if so. How?

Thank you much.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drummingfool:
In trying to do a NAND+ext backup, it goes for about a minute and then says:

error: run nandroid-mobile.sh from adb!

any ideas here? I'm running Darchdroid 2.7, have removed extra NAND backups, and have an ext4 partition.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nighteyes_wolf:
I was getting that as well....couldn't figure it out so I ended up ditching apps2sd >.>
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MediocreHippie:
Umm, you should prol run nandroid-mobile.sh from adb like it says. That'll fix your problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
I'm having trouble trying to figure out how.to flash this. I don't know what to do on recovery and I tried Rom manager. Any help for a newb?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
Anybody???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fKngFtd:
help?

I tried to flash GodSpeed, and no luck. (HTC Droid ERIS) Hopefully it can and would work on my ERIS with some special something. If anyonce can give me a hand I would appreciate it greatly. I've tried all methods, adb shell (recovery), fashboot usb (via pc), and terminal. I've had no luck.

I'm aiming this post at Darch, and Toast. Please lend me a hand.

Thanks.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Type this from terminal emulator on your phone once you download the recovery img to the root of your sd card:

PM me if you have any other questions :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Probably not, as Darch's amon RA 1.7 is newer and also overclocked.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
hell to the yeah. no offense to anyone but i was sick of care bears.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
You can only really go as fast as your SD Card. Flashing a Zip seemed a bit faster to me on my class 2 card.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pseudoremora:
You offended me. I hate you...care bears are my favorite.;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigupurself7:
Nand + ext backup worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
I second that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:
This is awesome! Thanks Darch and Toast!:D And please whatever you guys do keep "having fun" and coming up this stuff!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
I don't know if it's coincidence but after a couple of reboots and tests NONE of my NANdroid backups would restore. They would restore fine, but none would boot. I reflashed back to 1.56 Recovery and that didn't work either. I have just reflashed with a new build. It's hopefully booting now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Its a coincidence. all we changed was the kernel and a png in the ramdisk. nothing more. all the scripts and commands were left in tact. it should work just as well, or better than your old recovery
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
can't flash anything. I'm trying wiping/repartitioning my SD card next
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
maybe you have a corrupt nandroid, or damaged sd card. all possibilities
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gunnyman:
Yeah I know. I was only reporting here in case I discovered something mysterious in your build. I know it's not your fault. :)

Edit:

Repartitioning my SD Card fixed me right up.

:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chubbzlou:
Great work guys this does flash much quicker now. If you guys can get to boot faster would be a plus. :D

THANKS for all your hard work. Much appreciated you guys are amazing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] blehzz:
thanks for this.

any idea if an option can be added to re-format the ext without repartitioning? i.e. be able to downgrade from ext4 to ext3/ext2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
I love the recovery image.. But i was definitely digging my pink fonted 1.6.2 haha

Ever since v1.5.2 i havent used the green recovery. I like the blue and i even changed to pink, just to be different.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mountaindont:
this is nuts

not for me, but wow this is some true developing right HE-RUH
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
The only thing it really does is overclock to 768 and you can do a nano + ext4 backup

If you use darktremor ap2sd 2.6.1 and ext 4 on any rom.. Then this is the only recovery you can do a nandroid + ext4 partition backup with.

This wouldnt ever hurt to have.. And its just an upgrade. It only overclocks while you are in recovery, so you can do everything a litte quicker. And it wont touch your rom at all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mountaindont:
perfectly aware of the effects of overclocking and this specific use of it, just not for me :-D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Papa Smurf151:
had to go with darchstar recovery...works great
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thematrixkid17:
Has anyone timed the flash against the RA recovery?

Also worries me that this might increase the propensity for a bad flash? (not that I couldn't just, you know, flash again...)

Also, you people complaining about the care bears: you know there was a plain version too, right?

Otherwise: Mega. cool. ****.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pimix2009:
can u flash this even if your're currently on any overclock rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pimix2009:
I meant if your not currently on any overclock room
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Yes.. the recovery image and your rom are 2 different things. And use separate kernels
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:
Make sure you dont have too many backups in the folder.......this has happened to me twice just remove or erase a few and try again....;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stylz3:
Now by flashing this recovery image, from that point, are you only restricted to ROMs with overclock & BFS?

Edit: Disregard this question!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatjerk:
I am a little late to the party.. thanks guys!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
just flashed the toast version... thanks guys!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
worked prefect that
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
any ideas why when I tried flashing the recovery image it first of all told me 'unable to find file cuz it doesn't exist' (and i triple checked my syntax) then i get stuck in an HTC screen loop and it wont pass that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
Every time I think I am done tinkering with my phone there's another breakthrough. Thanks guys! works great!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
Anyone attempt flashing via phone through the Recovery Flasher? I attempted, renamed, and so forth....to no avail. Just curious!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
wasnt complaining just tired of them, and plain? what fun is that. care bears are better than plain just glad theres something new bro. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Would be nice if someone is bored to time different recovery tasks to see if its actually doing things faster. I can tweak the kernel to optimise recovery tasking and possibly do things quicker. But would like some results to start from
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
umm...my recovery locks up whenever i wipe dalvik and sd partition..

*had to 'repair ext partition'...everything works now. Tanks bunches
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imb951:
Thanks again Darch and Toast!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ARoiD:
any plans for a DarchToast rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brutus2TheMax:
I just want to say sorry in advance but I am adb retarded. Anything with adb scares me. My question is, basically do I just flash this through recovery like a normal ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
Let us know if this works. I attempted, and Recovery Flasher couldn't run the command, even after numerous unmount/mounts of the SD card. I think I may have error'd when I renamed the image, but everything seems fine, and I haven't had time yet to back track and start from scratch..

**EDIT** For clarification's sake, I am referring to flashing the image, not the ROM itself. I'd imagine this should be able to done the same way as rooting, but yeah..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
no. follow these steps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brutus2TheMax:
Like I said! ADB retarded! I've never been able to understand the adb ****... I've been rooted and flashing ROMS since January...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
yea same here maybe later. if you want you can pm me and i can help. i'll try to see if i can make a flashable zip. unsure if it will work though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brutus2TheMax:
I dont know what it is about the whole thing I just have no clue... I built my own computer, I've been in college for 2 years now, and I've been flashing 2 ROMs per week average since January. Hahaha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccapasso:
Lol. Good work guys :). Thanks again as always.

On a side note, maybe this would work for you Darch for a new Avatar?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
It'll work w/ Recovery Flasher, I just can't for the life of me find the proper command to get the image to flash! I don't remember it, and search sifting just isn't being cooperative today :mad:

The error I get is "Backup FAILED: Could not run command." Soooo if anyone remembers or can point in the direction of what needs to be typed in, this should be flashable w/o the use of ADB.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
I had never heard of recovery flasher, found this in a search, let me know if it helps.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
that penguin is gangster, is he c3po?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
Thanks, that was the thread I was searching for...

Here's where the issue is, for me anyways....after downloading this image to the SD card, unmounting and remounting the card, and opening up Recovery Flasher, it isn't even recognizing the image to backup. I've tried everything I can think of, including removing from USB and multiple reboots. I know this method works, because it's how I rooted the phone in the first place lol...

Only thing I can think is that I need to wipe the card completely and start over, as maybe the multiple partitions have a role to play in why this isn't effective? I'd rather not go that route, since I've got everything running the way I want and would hate to start from scratch just for an updated recovery image.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
wiping and repartitioning was going to be my next suggestion...or use adb ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccapasso:
Yup he is :). Just google tux avatar and you'll see a TON of 'em.

Back on topic though ...excellent work guys. Can't wait to try this out :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
lol...

I dunno, I just can't get into using ADB when there are these options and the Root Explorer program....if I can do everything from my phone w/o having to use the computer for anything, then that just makes things all the sweeter IMO...

UPDATE: Confirmed that you can successfully flash the image w/ Recovery Flasher. I dunno wtf the issue was, but retraced from step 1, and rebooted for a final time....and was able to flash. Decided to go w/ Toast's. Good stuff!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
w00t w00t, i agree if you dont have to use the pc then awesome, but if thats not working..... glad you got it going.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ARoiD:
so far so good;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
Can someone compare the oc Recovery against the normal recovery to see if it actually does tasks quicker?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Initial Tests are disappointing:

8 GB Transcend Class 6 SDcard.

NAND Backup ------------ W/o OC - 1:53 --------- W/ OC 2:10

NAND Backup + ext ------ W/o OC - 1:54 ----- W/ OC 2:17

NAND Restore ------------W/o OC - 2:56 --------- W/ OC 3:39

First tests where Amon_Ra 1.6.2 Nexus Carebear, OC'd with the Toast Version of this OCRecovery. Stop watch timed everything.

Please someone prove me wrong on this.

I would have tested other stuff, but dont want to set up stuff if I flash a rom again. Sorry. If you have questions ask me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
i am tonight when i have my wife's. was gonna do a side by side comparison. i'm sure you'll probably have a ton of results before then though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
how do you restore via adb i need to restore a backup please

this is what it tells me when i try to restore from recovery
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Las_Vegas:
Steps 14 & 16 are totally unnecessary.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
yea but i copied another thread and was too lazy to take out and it doesnt hurt anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
whats it tell you?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
hrm it may not be scaling it correctly. ill look into it and have darch update the builds with a better oc kernel. thanx for the tests. more tests would be great also from others to make sure it wasnt just a fluke deal.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
It may just be the read/write speed of the internal memory that's limiting it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
but it would be consistant :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
i try to restore and it gives me an error and to flash recovery from adb
[Hero CDMA Android Development] sdotcarlisle:
agh you're trying to use flashrecovery, sorry thought you were having problems with adb. Never used flash recovery if you need help with adb let me know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
do this while in recovery and test oc times again:

adb shell

# echo 528000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sporkman:
i was trying to flash to restore and backup and i got that error first i have seen it

so id like the command to flash a backup via adb
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Im doing the test right now this is what i have so far

OC recovery

Nan - 2:14.98

nan+ext - 2:09.47

Non oc recovery

nan - 2:38.15

this test errored

I could only compare nandroid without ext.. but it was slightly longer doing it without the OC recovery
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
did u try the commands i just posted?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Ill do it now.. I gotta change my pink care bear back to OC recovery. lol

EDIT:

OC recovery

Nandroid before setting min: 2:14.98

Nandroid after setting min: 1:40.31

It did improve the speed toast.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] djR3Z:
WOOT WOOT successfully flashed this via Terminal Emulater :) and it solved the problem of it giving me the mobile.sh or whatever
[Hero CDMA Android Development] toastcfh:
yeah it seems that the load isnt enough for recovery for it to keep the freq at max. it goes up to 528 (767.6) but then falls back to 245. it does this constantly and it also did this before. i think ill fix it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Ohh in the recovery, 528= 767?

I tried setting the clock to 767600 and it set it to 76760.. I didnt notice it at first and then ran a test.. After close to 3 mins in a nandroid i realized it. ha
