How To: Flash UltraJack Recovery to your Phone (Windows/Mac/Linux)

How To: Flash UltraJack Recovery to your Phone (Windows/Mac/Linux)

NOTE: This is a modified version of the AmonRA recovery flashing package.

The only thing I really did was modify the .sh/.bat files and include the UltraJack Recovery.​

@devilzeye793 and whoever else may be wondering: Here you go! :D

1. Download the attached ZIP and extract

2. Make sure you have the necessary drivers installed for bootloader mode (installing PDAnet seems to do the trick on Windows: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9861928#post9861928)

3. Boot your phone into bootloader mode (Google it, I can't list all the ways here).

4. Plug your phone into your computer and let Windows install the drivers automatically (if you're on Windows, unfortunately I'm not really sure how this happens on Mac/Linux). NOTE: On some phones (i.e. the U8150), the phone will stay on the carrier logo screen. THIS IS NORMAL!

5. Run the installer for your OS from the extracted folder (.bat file on Windows, .sh file on Mac/Linux) and let it work its magic

6. After the script has flashed the recovery image (should take ~1-5 seconds), unplug your phone and remove/re-insert the battery to get out of bootloader mode

7. Enjoy your new recovery image! ;)

Hope this helped some people out there! :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] devilzeye793:
well awesome man ....it worked this time .....u ppl are awesome !!!

GOD BLESS !!!

btw what Ideos ROM is Best in your opinion !! ????
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevenmirabito:
Great, I'm glad it worked out for you!

I am currently using the stock ROM, simply because I currently see no reason to install any of the currently available custom ROMs for the Comet. As soon as someone has created a stable port of Cyanogen however, you better believe I'm going to be one of the first people on board!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
It has a Wipe option but it only wipes the caches it seems and not the boot and system areas.

Well done! ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] just4sc:
Can this be uninstalled? I need to send mine back so I need to get the phone back to it's original state...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stevenmirabito:
I'm not an expert, but you probably need to find an IMG of the original recovery image and flash it to the phone.

Anyone have it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nitro-ale:
thanks for the update, this is great, but sometimes I still get random error on wipes
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nobreak1970:
New version is awesomely awesome! :)

Thanks for fixing the SD/ext stuff.

Hi

I've got a problem with this

I boot my phone into bootloader mode, then i click on "install-recovery-windows.bat"

it states "flashing the recovery image , please wait... <waiting for device>"

whats happening?

Also, Can I ask how to check if UltraRecovery is flashed in your device?

Thanks

Great Job Anyway!

Using Ideos U8150 Android 2.2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] philselmer:
I hand installed mine, but I did notice a similar issue.

Following these steps, you should unplug your phone after step 4 is complete. When you see "<waiting for device>", plug it back in.

If that doesn't work, you probably do not have the drivers or ADB set up correctly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xXcybersniperXx:
Same here, what it needs a file called "Flash_Image" that was excluded from the phone, I have the file, just don't know where to put it... once i figure out it should be as easy as typing the command an "POOF!" but it's not....

and as for the ROMs they're pretty much the same
[Miscellaneous Android Development] derek2378:
I followed the steps given and waited for few minutes

And I still get a IDEOS screen and nothing

Am I on the right track?

And btw,

how to get into recovery mode?

I tried holding volume down and end button and power on

But the phone just stuck at IDEOS screen
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ladroid:
u8150 linux boot through googles adb platform-tools

repost (read below)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ladroid:
u8150 linux boot through googles adb platform-tools

Source of information:

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Flash_image

and my own knowledge.

Note: Your phone must be rooted to provide permission to login as root.

Using adb provided by googles android sdk tools :

Download flash_image from the link provided above and download UltraJack-Recovery_v4.6.2.img

Place both these files in platform_tools

cd to the directory platform_tools

Then execute these commands in terminal:

./adb push flash_image /sdcard/

./adb push UltraJack-Recovery_v4.6.2.img /sdcard/

./adb shell

su

Super User will pop up on your phone asking you whether to allow or deny access, tap allow

Then execute these commands in terminal:

mount -o remount,exec /dev/block//vold/179:1 /sdcard

cd /sdcard/

./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Hold down the up volume button and the green button while pushing the power button.

It should now read at the bottom: "UltraJack-Recovery v4.6.2"

Please do not claim this information as your own, it is rude, provide reference to me by simple stating my username and the initial source link, thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xXcybersniperXx:
i did that but got flash_image not found, did it thru Terminal Emulator on the phone but got flash_image: permission denied...plz help!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ladroid:
Did you type the command:

su

You must give permission through the use of super user to mount the device and execute flash_image.

I dont think you have given permission, read previous post carefully.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xXcybersniperXx:
Yea, i did but i found an easier way, and made a video...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] mycnam:
Thank you for the great work!

After some test I found that if I do the full wipe in Settings/Privacy, the original recovery would keep /data/cdrom, but it would be formatted in this recovery (as all other recovery's too). Is there any way to keep that?

Another Easiest method to install UtraJack Recovery

Guys I have another method to install UltraJack Recovery

Here it is

1: Install Rom Manager free version from market

2: Connect to internet and open Rom Manager and then tap Flash Clockworkmod Recovery

3: It will download and install Clockworkmod recovery on ur phone

4: now using any file manager go to /sdcard/clockworkmod/koushik folder

5: there go to download/recoveries and there u will find a recovery image named as "recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-pulsemini.img" or it may be different depending on ur device

6: now rename this img file by adding a .bak at the end of file

7: now copy the ultrajack recovery in this folder and rename it as

"recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-pulsemini.img" without quotes

8: now exit file manager and go to rom manager again and again tap flash clockworkmod recovery and it will again flash the recovery.

But it will not be the clockworkmod recovery else it will be UltraJack Recovery.

U can check it by turning off the phone and then turning it on by pressing green call button volume up button and power button at the same time.

Enjoy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] King_Rat:
^^ Nice work ;-)

Is it reversible?? i.e. go from UJR back to CWM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wachw:
Yes it is, just put CWM back in the same folder and rename it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wachw:
If you select ideos u8150 in rom manager then the recovery folder is clockworkmod/download/mirror.sea.tdrevolution.net/cm/recoveries/ and the img file name is recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-ideos.img
[Miscellaneous Android Development] King_Rat:
mine is **clockworkmod/download/mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/**

& inside I have two files **recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-ascend.img** & **recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-ideos.img**

you just need to hunt around in CWM as path will be diff. for most ^^

I assume it's safe to delete the ascend.img?? (as it's older version)

will trial this soon & take HTC 2.2 for a spin me thinks :woot:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wachw:
What rom manager are you using? That was the path in previous versions, but since i updated the path chaged to the one i posted above. Its safe to delete any of them, if you delete the ideos one and try flash recovery rom manager will download the recovery again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] f1ng3r:
You can flash recovery Ultrajack or Clockworkmod via Terminal Emulator if you want. You just have to use the appropriate flash_image file.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] King_Rat:
ROM Manager v4.2.0.2 ^^

Everything works o.k... :cool:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wachw:
Dude! I had no idea, but now that i think about it, i should have known it was possible! That will make my life a lot easier. Anyway, what's the command?

Edit: I'm assuming it would be "flash_image recovery /sdcard/*.*" right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] f1ng3r:
Yes, you are right. That's the command to use if you put the recovery_name.img on the /sdcard and the flash_image file on /system/bin. I have used +20 times this way to flash different recovery when i am not @PC.

Sometimes(random) i get read/write errors on terminal(i think caused by bad permissions files) and i fix it with "fix permissions" from ROM Manager or directly from the recovery. After that the flash_image works 100%.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] waris93:
Thankss allot man u make my work very easy i was lookin for how to recovery from yesterday and i spend probably 8 hours and after that i found your post and it worksss :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] willbill642:
Awesome!

I just want to say this was a painless install and I love this recovery image. However when I try to do a backup of my stock firmware it will proceed along some but will shortly after stop saying it has encountered an error and to check the recovery log.

Q #1) Where is the recovery log? I can't seem to find it :( EDIT: Found it!

Q #2) Any idea on how to fix this? :confused: Because I've got no idea. EDIT: Figured out at least one cause, fixing it....

EDIT: If you are having problems doing a full backup of your phone using UltraJack, first partition your SD card using the onboard tools, then do the backup. It worked for me!:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] omernaeem17:
LOVE u alot ov kisses n hugs for u

but i cant install custom rom it keep saying e:error/sdcard/cm7.zip status 0 ????

im tryin to install cm7
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Trekker56:
cm7 is only compatible with clockworkmod recovery. Download it via Rom Manager.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ultrakiller:
that's not true if you want flash CM 7, you can just remove the first row "assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "ideos" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "ideos" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "U8150"); "

in the

[Miscellaneous Android Development] mani_moron:
yaaaar simply download pdanet for anndroid install it

after installing it reboot your phone in bootloader by pressing Power ON +VOL down+RED KEY(call end ) it will hang on ideos screen

step2 unzip ultrajack.zip there will be a file install-recovery-windows

open it................. your phone will reboot.................

text me for further info 3124144494

Stock roms are awesome flash any multi touch/overlock kernel

according to ppl dronix is the best/stable custom rom for ideos

[Miscellaneous Android Development] netskink:
Stevenmirabito,

Hi. when I boot to recovery mode, I hold down red end call button, volume up and then hit the power button.

It will then start to unpack the recovery image on my phone. Even though I have android sdk installed and run the flash recovery tool from it. The pc will simply say waiting on device and never continue. The phone attempts to unpack the recovery image it has already installed but fails to unpack and the phone locks up. Is there a way to fix this?

There's an app called gallery invoke which lets u use the 3d android gallery, try that ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
How does using an app to access another app you can access in the first place help with this?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
Maybe just me, but the only time I could use the 3d gallery was when changing the icons; when changing wallpapers or general picture viewing it uses Mediascape. I know you can remove this, but as a rule don't use my X10 as a camera and I haven't investigated further.

Sorry, I was referring to THIS, same thing as you mentioned I think, but still doesn't resolve the sorting issue.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
True, doesn't actually resolve the issue, it's just faster to find images.

Sorry, didn't realise this app had originated on XDA, but most of the time I post it's from my X10 and the search can be pretty random...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
One thing I thought of, if you click the icon in the top right hand corner, it kind of organises them into the date taken or modified...

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.monteiro:
It seems there's no way to organize folders on the 3D gallery, a pretty simple feature that should be there from the start.

Don't get me wrong, I love Myn's ROM and this thread is in no way a "lets derail Myn from his glory thread."

For one, my android system is running at 96% and I have absolutely no idea why. I flashed Calkulins new radio pack about 3 weeks ago along with his ROM and had no problems at all. I then switched to MIUI for awhile while I was waiting for RLS 5 to come out and since flashing RLS 5 I have had this problem and can't get rid of it. It doesn't matter what kernel I use, I still have upwards of 90% android system usage of the battery. I would like to figure this out or I may have to switch roms. :(

Another thing,

For some reason, after I just recently flashed to Myns RLS 5 Pandora sounds like it is playing out of a tin can. I have the higher quality settings turned on and it still sounds like crap, way worse than it did on any previous ROM. I'm wondering how I can fix this?

These problems are really starting to irritate me and I would very much love it if someone would help me out here.

Thanks
