[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Awesome!

Downloading now
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
I'm implementing this in an update I'm working on now as well as having nandroid actually back it up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Great work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
New version 1.7.0.5 is up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] amandak1985:
V1.7.0.5 works PERFECTLY!!!! Thanks so much as this is a great alternative to clockwork recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
The new version works great -- thanks for your hard work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Berzerker7:
Thanks for this, works excellently!

Just a couple suggestions:

1. Disable signature verification by default? Kind of annoying to disable it every time I go into recovery.

2. Folder support would be great.

3. Oh, and maybe enable charging in recovery? That would be a killer extra.

Those three added makes this recovery 100% awesome.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
D

1. I left that on purpose so no accidental applying an ota should one be downloaded.

2. Will consider trying to code that in the future. Or will post code soon and if someone wants to write it as Im beginner level.

3. I left the off-mode charging stuff in sbin and init.rc. It works just no charging led lights up you can leave it plugged in via usb and check with cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity

$ adb shell
/ # cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity 62
/ # cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity 64
/ # cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity 68
/ # cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity 71

Thanks for the suggestions.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Berzerker7:
Amon_RA updated his version for the evo (1.0.8) with signature checked permanently disabled. You need the stock recovery to install an update anyway.

Also, maybe you should ask Amon_RA about how he implemented folder support for some tips.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
Thanks I'll see if I can ask about the folder zip support.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
Drellisdee.. what does that mean, my last name is Drellos. pretty cool.

anyway, love the port.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lafester:
Some have mentioned that it means Dr. LSD but I don't know if it was ever confirmed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
ahhahaha cleverr I see it. good stuff. this is running so smooth too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ToyTank:
I had problem with CWM flashing kernels for awhile. I have it resolved, but I'm getting this ready to go in case CWM fails me again. Thanks OP more choices are always a good thing
[Droid Incredible Android Development] airric00:
Im currently trying to update my radio and I need to partition my stock microsd to fat32. I installed unrevoked forever with soff. Can I install this over top of the current clockwork or what is my easiest solution to getting the sdcard formatted to fat32?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
Yes with s-off you can install this over clockwork. Easiest way to format card is mount it with phone (disk drive mode) and from my computer right click on the drive letter making sure its not your internal phone storage and click format and select fat32. I'm sure you know but a format will erase all your contents on the sdcard so back it up. To load any PB31IMG you must have a fat32 card.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] airric00:
Awesome, I actually figured it out by playing around but glad you responded so others will be able to do it quickly! thanks again! Like he said make sure you don't format over your SD card before you copy the files to a file on your pc and and after your format to fat32 move them back over, place the pb32img file on the sd card, reboot and hit up twice to install the radio! done deal!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rom116:
Uninstall

How can I uninstall this recovery image? I cannot seem to install from clockwork rom manager anymore, this recovery image comes up instead.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GermanBrat:
That's because rom manager works with clockwork recovery only
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rom116:
Can you uninstall it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rigman:
Check this thread. That's already been answered several times.

I can't get my restores back at all. I tried and tried thinking but it says something like run nandroid-restore.sh via adb or something like that but I ran it and it still didn't work but I try moving the folder to cwm directory but them md5 mismatch. Anyone know what's up? Even tried downloading and reflashing about 4 times.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rigman:
I don't understand. Are you trying to restore via amon_ra? Or have you changed back to cwm and trying to restore?

Lol sorry trying ra. That is where the error always comes up. I did change back to cwm but then I changed back to ra because I have always liked it so much. Except now I can't restore.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rigman:
Don't think I can help, being a noob and all. But to clarify, are you trying to restore a backup made with cwm or one made with amon_ra?

If it was made with cwm, did you move the backup files to a folder called Nandroid on the root of the sdcard?

Edit: you haven't renamed the backup files, have you? I've read that putting a space in the file name messes up the checksum.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ffej5647:
Sorry guess I confused everyone. Did backup with amon ra. Could not restore that back up at all because I get that error I posted earlier. I will try again to get the exact error but it was something like I said earlier. I then ran what it told me via adb but that did not work then I decided to flash cwm and move the back up to cwm directory to see if it could restore that way but no luck bc of md5 sum mismatch. Then I tried re downloading amon ra and moved the back up back to nandroid but still same error.sorry for the confusion.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ffej5647:
No did not rename. And there are no spaces.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
I have been using this recovery for a while and I'm liking it. There are only a few quirks.

When performing a command that cannot be undone, it asks you to press the trackball to confirm and anything else to abort. The only issue is, it aborts if you accidentally move your finger across the optical joystick before pressing it. Maybe that can be changed to ignore those "keystrokes".

Sometimes you have to confirm twice as it seems to loop the confirm message

There is no way to flash anything from a directory. It gets a little messy having to put everything in the root.

Keep up the good work. One last wish: make this recovery compatible with Rom Manager. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GatorsUF:
So I am interested in putting Amon_RA on my phone, but I like Rom Manager a lot. Am I still able to download Skyraider roms and extras then install them through Amon_RA manually? Thats the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] br125:
Yes, but you will have to move the .zip to the root of the card to manually flash in recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GatorsUF:
ok is there a "rom manager" type application coming for Amon_RA?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
nope
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ffej5647:
My exact error is: error: run 'Nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb. I can't remedy this any way I try. Anyone know why I can't get this working to restore? I try the adb command but it won't work. Any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
It's case-sensitive. Try just 'nandroid-mobile.sh'; that worked fine for me.

/sbin # nandroid-mobile.sh

nandroid-mobile v2.2.1

[Droid Incredible Android Development] AndrewGL:
Im confused as to which sort of nandroid backup I should be making? I have a partitioned sd card, so I thought I should do the nandroid +ext 2 back up-

However, when I tried to use that backup to restore my phone, my card was set to read only, and I had to reformat it through recovery =/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
The ext backup is only if you are using apps2sd. That is not the native froyo apps on sd fyi.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
What recovery version and what backup selection did you pick? If you pick an + ext one without having apps2sd thats the issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] leech2082:
Had a eris with amon's recovery.. glad to see it here... question! I got my incredible last and and without knowing updated it... can i root using this recovery img... i know the unrevoked method is down at this point for people with the update... regardless i would rather use amon's img...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ffej5647:
Latest version. I tried +ext backup but would not work so I did regular backup which backed up ok but I can't restore it nomater what I try.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AndrewGL:
I believe I am since I partitioned my card and flashed.some sort of file for skyraider vanilla 3.0 rc2

Thing is I used a nandroid restore with the ext. Partition, but it.caused instability and stuff XD

It was fixed after a clean install, but it changed my card to read only
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ffej5647:
Do you know a fix? I can't get my backups restored but I need it!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
Im assuming you are running the latest version and are trying to restore a backup you made with that version correct? I changed some things from 1.7.0.4 which has an issue with backup/restore but v1.7.0.5 works as intended. If you are using froyo you should be using nand backup + .android secure. I tried it again and it most surely works. See attached.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] benpwarner:
i dont supose you can update this to Amon_RA's newest one that also has psfreedom built in.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GermanBrat:
Getting this working with psfreedom would be great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
I'll try a psfreedom one but I don't have a PS3 to test on and will need testers. Also, Amon-Ra hasn't posted source which I will need.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GermanBrat:
Would be awesome if you could get it working.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] benpwarner:
and i would be more than happy to test if this ever happens
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikesincredible:
can I still use rom manager with this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
I will give you two guesses and one doesn't count.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikesincredible:
How about yes and no. One thing I dont like about this Is I cant flash a zip from my downloads folder or any folder, boo, so back to Clockwork recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Ok...yes and no.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikesincredible:
greatttt so now I cant resort back to cw recovery...laugh it up. I downloaded the pb31img from unrevokeds site, tried installing via amon_ra and it says 2 files missing and signature is fu*ked...i toggled the signature to disabled but still wont install recovery..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
You're not supposed to flash that in Amon_Ra. Vol down + power. Read directions before doing things like this or you will actually mess your phone up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikesincredible:
lol. Ass. Said the builder to the carpenter. I dont need to read to know how to build. Anyhow, I restored it. Not the way you preached tho. And normally, I do read. I just get frustrated cause i like to try new things that are out, and if i dont like it, I usually can go back to what Ive tried with ease, just this time I had a hard time. Whats it called..trial and error. Yea. Oh, and the directions only explain how to install amon_ra via boot, not how to revert back to clockwork if a person dislikes it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
ps3 testers please sound off. I don't have a ps3 :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Ready, willing, and able.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] geekanerd:
Same here. Happy to test.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] worm-:
i can help test, message me with a link to dl and ill flash recovery to my phone
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xstahsie:
drellisdee, I volunteer to test PSFreedom Amon_RA. Please PM me.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] quepaso:
Can test immediately for ps3
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xstahsie:
not working :-(

drellisdee, tested the Amon_RA PSFreedom that you tweet to me.

It doesn't jailbreak the PS3. Upon loading the any PSFreedom option (Without Bluray Hermes, Bluray, Homebrew, Bluray w/ Peek & Poke), the PS3 does not fully boot into jailbreak mode. The green power LED on the PS3 stays on but it doesn't boot into the PS3 menu--just a blank screen.

The PB31IMG flashed fine and I was able to access Amon RA menu and options (SD card mount doesn't work though).

Additionally, upon exiting PSFreedom menu, it doesn't return to Amon Recovery but instead restarts the phone.

As mentioned before, I have a PS3 running firmware v3.41 and have been able to jailbreak my PS3 using Adrynalyne's PSFreedom enabled kernel.

Hope to see a fix. Thanks for the work though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Just tried, looks like i get the same issue, it just freezes the PS3 before ever booting up with all payloads.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
Thanks for testing I'll look into it more. After exiting psfreedom mode it reboots recovery not just moving back in the menu as the usb services are disabled after running psfreedom. Also, to actually mount your sdcard as a mass storage you use the USB-MS Toggle option not /mount sdcard as that is to just mount the card for say flash_image.

I compiled the psfreedom.ko from the latest psfreedom from github and added some already compiled payloads. Did I use the wrong version? Any help here would be appreciated in debugging it as I don't know very much about this psfreedom and dont have a ps3. Also, what is default_payload.bin, shellcode_egghunt.bin used for as those were the submodules that compiled and I used amon ra's other ones.

Can someone try the test only shellcode option?

Directions from amon ra:

PSFreedom :

A new menu-item called "- Run PSFreedom" can be found in the main menu.

The menu-item will lead to a submenu allowing you to choose different payloads and even a test shellcode :

* No Blu-Ray emulation (Hermes) : This is a modded PSGroove payload, which allows you to play backups without the need of a BluRay disc inside the PS3.

* Blu-Ray emulation : This is the standard payload with Blu-Ray emulation support, which allows you to play backups.

* Homebrew only : This is the standard payload without Blu-Ray emulation support. It does not allow you to play backups.

* Blu-Ray emulation + peek/poke : This is the same as "Standard payload with BD-Emu", with additional peek and poke system calls. It is based on the PSGroove payload. It is only needed by developers.

* Homebrew only + peek/poke : This is the same as "Standard payload without BD-Emu", with additional peek and poke system calls. It is based on the PSGroove payload. It is only needed by developers.

* Test only shellcode : This is a test only shellcode that will force your PS3 to LV1 Panic (beeps, shuts down and blinks the red LED). It is useful to debug whether the shellcode gets executed or not, independently of the content of the payload.

Usage on PS3 :

1. First shut your PlayStation 3 down and then flip the power switch in the back to off (on Slim models, unplug the power cable). Disconnect all USB devices (controllers, USB hard drives, etc.) from the PlayStation 3.

2. Boot your phone into recovery mode, select "- Run PSFreedom" and choose a payload.

3. Now, plug your Dream into one of the USB ports and flip the PS3's power switch back to the on position (or plug it back in). Do not turn the PS3 on with the power button yet.

4. For the next step, timing is important. You will need to push the power button and then almost immediately after press the eject button, as if drumming your fingers across the two buttons. When you are successful, the PS3 will take a bit longer to start up.

5. When XMB loads, under the "Game" menu there will be two new options, ★ /app_home/PS3_GAME and ★ Install Package Files. Congratulations, you've jailbroken your PS3. You're ready to install homebrew applications.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xstahsie:
I'm not familiar with the test shellcode. Does it generate a log file so that we can send to you for review?

The payload appears to be the right one. PSFreedom with Hermes Payload is the latest one, the last time I checked.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
How in the world do i reinstall clockwork now? This recovery doesnt even have ability to browse sd card for installable zip files, looks like it only reads from sdcard root.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
The clockwork PB31IMG from unrevoked forever site.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Thank you, sir. I look forward to testing your next version of the PSFreedom enabled Amon_RA recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
Edit: This response is in regards to test #2.

The debugging payloads worked and induced kernel panic with the PS3 flashing red light. Here is my output log. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3X6DBEFD

The normal payloads (hermes, level 2, etc) all caused PS3 to hang before booting.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] quepaso:
drellisdee

If you need more testers let me now, by the time i got back to xda, others had already tested. Also, will you be adding an option to load a payload off of the sd card? New hermes payload came out today, fixes a lot of compatibility.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rulevoid:
From my understanding, all the v2 hermes patch does is fixes a couple weird controller issues in like 2 games. Is there anything else it does?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
I'm stumped right now guys. I can effectively turn off android_usb to load freedom module and shellcode executes from psfreedom gadget but not payloads. Since I dont have a ps3 to test this will be very difficult. Anyone have source to an older psfreedom build from 9/20 or so as I dont feel like having to undo commits.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] importedTuna:
Can you confirm whether this recovery works on the new SLCD Incredible?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hockeyplayr:
couldn't you install it the same way you install a custom recovery by using the unrevoked 3.21 tool

when i did a custom recovery i loaded up the tool with my phone unplugged, went to file-->custom recovery and selected the one i needed. Couldn't you just do that with clockwork? Im not sure if that would work it's just an idea that makes sense
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Yep, or tell ROM Manager to flash alternate.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drellisdee:
In case you haven't noticed this recovery is listed as alt recovery in rom manager. You need s-off to flash it via rom manager though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zebdor44:
Amon ra issue

I've tried flashing amon ra via rom manager and also tried using the zip provided from this thread but neither works for me. After reflashing via rom manager ill try and boot into recovery but it takes me to the bootloader everytime. Flashing in the bootloader results in a fail.

Any thoughts?

EDIT:

I've tried 1.7.0.6 and 1.7.0.5 using Unrevoked3 and adb neither works. I can reflash CWM no prob though...

The error I get in ADB is:

# flash_image recovery recovery.img

flash_image recovery recovery.img

mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00400000

error closing recovery: No space left on device

#

SPECS

ROM: CyanogenMod 6.0.2 Stable

Radio: 2.15.00.09.01

HBOOT: 0.92
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
How exactly are you flashing it? I don't think you can install it as a zip or in recovery. Kind of hard to install a recovery in recovery. Sort of defeats the purpose. Try using the second to the last option in ROM Manager, Flash Alternate Recovery, or use the PB31IMG.zip on HBOOT.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zebdor44:
I've been trying to flash the recovery through rom manager and also through adb. The error I posted is through adb. I tried through hboot but it gives me some sort of 'remote error'. Rom manager says it flashes the recovery but I can never boot in to it.

I have S-OFF set on my phone as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] truegrass:
Do I have to be rooted to flash this Amon_RA style recovery. I just switched from an eris (kaosFroyo 2.2.1) that had amon built in. I loved it. I just want to make sure that I am doing this right. Is this what needs to be done and in this order:?

root (unrevoked)

flash a custom ROM

flash Amon

My Dinc is still factory OTA 2.2 unrooted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] truegrass:
I just read that I can not use unrevoked3 on my 2.2 stock froyo :( still searching for the answers on how to root my phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
You don't have to flash a custom ROM. Easiest way is to run unrevoked, install ROM Manager, then tell that app to flash the alternate recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
And why not? If you have a DInc, whether 2.1 or 2.2, unrevoked 3.21 will work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zebdor44:
Would anyone know why this is error is showing up?

# flash_image recovery recovery.img
flash_image recovery recovery.img
mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00400000
error closing recovery: No space left on device
#

I'm doing this through ADB. I thought maybe it was my CM6 ROM but I switched to Ruby 1.1.4 and the same error shows up. ROM Manager still has the same issue, it thinks it flashed Amon_RA but when I boot in to recovery it kicks me to the HBOOT screen instead.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
If I had to guess, I'd say you have a bad block somewhere that amon is trying to occupy. The only way to "fix" bad blocks that I know of is to replace them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zebdor44:
Are there any tutorials on "fixing" bad blocks? Thanks for your help!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mb02:
I've been trying to partition my sd for a2sd. I used amon ra recovery many times to get this done but every time I try to mount the ext partition I get the error "Can't mount mmcblk1p2 (No such device)". Not (No such file), but no device. I even tried to manually partition through adb to make sure it was working properly and all went well, but still get this damn error and it's the only thing keeping me from an ext partition and I don't even understand why I'm getting it. Anyone know what this is all about or getting this error as well?
