no recovery mode after CM5 install but android boots

Ok im a newbie, and i don't know nearly as much as any developer here but i've been doing my best to follow the rom updates for the g1. I have installed all the CM updates, and also before that the jesusfreke rom.
I installed this CM5 and while it worked well the battery was draining, i tried to reboot into recovery mode to do a wipe and reinstall to see if it would help, to my horror the recovery doesn't start it just stays in the G1 screen.
The phone boots into android fine, but won't let me get into recovery to change anything. I think this is due to the fact that i ran CM updater with a theme and might have been for 4.x? so it hanged but i thought it wasn't a problem.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help point me into were i should look, i looked every where and haven't found the right information or understood it.
Thanks.

ok guys im not sure why the recovery was taken out but i was finally able to get it back running this is what i did which i found in other sites.
from an old post in the forum :
"Type the following into Telnet (these commands will give you root access easier in the future):
* mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
* cd sdcard
* flash_image recovery recovery.img
* cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img "

I had a similar issue as op, I just reflashed the recovery through adb - since I needed to updated my recovery anyway - and it worked.

same problem
i tried typing into terminal emulater to get recovery back, is that what i need to do

help
what do you mean you reflashed throughn adb

help
tried typing commands into terminal emulator and still no recovery,what can i do ,help

Help Please - Hangs on powerup

My SGS shows the boot up screen/noise, then just sits on a black screen and vibrates occasionally
I'm able to press the 3-buttons and boot up into ClockworkMod Recovery, however nothing seems to fix it. I've tried applying update.zip, wiping cache, factory reset, loading the restore-update.zip, and "restore" to the only checkpoint, but nothing works.
I screwed up when installing a theme, these were the first part of the directions:
1. adb shell
2. su (grant su rights on your phone when asked)
3. mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
3. rm system/framework/twframework-res.apk
4. rm system/framework/framework-res.apk
5. rm system/app/settings.apk (if no file is found try Settings.apk ... no ide if it matters tho)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I got this far, then realized that the files I needed to replace those with were on the internal SD, but IN A ZIP. So I couldn't use them. RMing the old ones meant nothing worked anymore.
Now my phone is in debug mode, can't seem to get su access (although I can use adb to a limited extent), and I can't get it to work
Any help for me?

I have3 the same problem Have you found out how to fix it?

Looks like your going to have to use odin to reflash ive had this many atime from unsuccesful modding and always worked.

[Q] FRG83D Update Problems

I have a rooted (rage) N1 that I loaded the G2 Launcher2.apk on to. Doing this caused the N1 to fail the update when it tried to apply FRG83D.
Stupidly, I decided that deleting the /system/app/launcher2.apk file was the right idea. And then rebooted.
Now the phone hangs on the boot animation. Attempting to apply with NO launcher2.apk results in the same error.
I have ADB installed, and I can adb shell into the phone and su. I have the old, original N1 launcher backed up on my SD card, but I can't figure out how to:
1) Mount the sdcard while ADB shell'd in from just the boot animation screen so that I can browse the card
2) Move the launcher2.apk backup file into the /system/app directory without getting a "Cross-device link" error when I use mv.
Can someone provide me with the exact commands to get the /sdcard/launcher2 backup/launcher2.apk file on to /system/app while ADB'd in only from the boot animation?
Thanks so much, I'm digging through the forums in the mean time, but it's tricky to track down exactly what to do.

I appear to have fixed everything. I wasn't able to access the SD card through ADB, but I *was* able to mount it using the:
Code:
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
method.
From there, I copied my backup to my desktop, and I found I was able to ADB push to just the /data/local/tmp directory. Don't know if I could've gone anywhere else, but that worked.
From there, I was about to:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
to mount/make writable the /system/app directory,
and then:
Code:
cat /data/local/tmp/launcher2.apk > /system/app/launcher2.apk
So there's that. All to restore the Launcher to a version that would allow for a somewhat pointless update. Woo!

[Q] Removing Android System Recovery <3e>

I have a verizon Samsung Galaxy tab. I would like to use clockwork recovery. The tab is rooted and I used ROM manager from the marketplace to flash the recovery for a Samsung Tab (Verizon). When I flash the ROM everything is successful. However, when I boot into recovery the Android System Recovery <3e> shell loads which doesn't allow nandroid backups etc... all the neat recovery tools that come with clockwork recovery.
I searched around the forum and saw a thread titled how to replace Android System Recovery with a Custom ROM. These were the commands
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
cd sdcard
mount -o remount,exec /dev/block//vold/179:1 /sdcard
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
exit
I went into abd shell I tried the commands but by the time I got to the third line I keep getting permission errors before I can even finish typing the command. I cut and paste the command string from "mount-->" thinking I just wasn't typing fast enough and it still doesn't work.
Is there another way to remove the Android system recovery so that ROM manager will work properly?

Have a look at installing boushh's kernel, it probably going to be the best option around for you.

I don't know what that is?

I have also same problem ı tryed many flashes ı coudnt fix it yet.if you allready fixed could you please share thanks.....

[Q] Can't boot into recovery

Just flashed my NC to Cyanogenmod nightly 11, it boots fine into the ROM but for some reason none of the google apps are there. I installed them through the CWM recovery menu, as well as the nightly build and the OC'd kernal.
Everything went smooth except the gapps arent there. So I go into CWM and tell it to boot into recovery and it reboots to a black screen, have to hold down power to get it to reboot and it will reboot into Cyanogenmod just fine.
I couldnt get the SD card to boot, I'm thinking that its not formatted to the zero bit. Gonna have to research on how to do this as I only have Win7 available to me at the moment. Any ideas here? Do I need to go back to stock?

I have CWM 3.0.0.9, do I need to downgrade?

I just tried to manually downgrade the CWM but I still get the same problems =/
adb shell busybox mount / -o rw,remount
adb shell busybox mkdir /boot
adb shell busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /boot
adb push recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.8-encore.img /boot/uRecRam
adb push kernel /boot/uRecImg
adb shell busybox umount /boot
Any help would be appreciated, or if I'm just being a dumbass and can't search for crap let me know. Just want to get this fixed.

To continue my little thread with myself haha, I installed CWM 3.0.0.5 and now it works, so something must have happened with EXT4 and the boot sector. Just gotta work on getting my gapps.
Hope this helps someone...or at least makes you chuckle =p
