[Q] sprint hero recovery mode

hey guys right now im using darchstar's godspeed recovery.. but whats the most recommended recovery mode that everyone uses?

My personal favorite is Clockwork Mod Recovery. You can find the latest for our phone in the Andorid Development section, on the first page of the aospGBmod thread. Should be easy to find as it is right on top 99% of the time due to popularity.

DARCH All the way if your running GB then clockwork because I've read people have had problems with Darch's recovery with GB but if your running CM6 then stick with Darch

I got it off of darch's website but it's been down as far as I know for a little while now.. Luckily I backed it up on my dropbox when I first downloaded it
I attached it so it'll be on XDA for everyone
Download the Darchstar_ra.zip and extract it onto the root of your sdcard.
Boot up into your rom
Open up terminal emulator and enter the following:
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/darchdroid_ra.img
reboot

2 questions will this restore previous RA nandroids and also can this do the complete wipe like clockwork?

I don't see why it would have problems restoring older nandroids, I've never had problems after updating.
And yes, you can wipe data/cache, cache, davlik-cache, battery stats, and rotation settings in the wipe menu.

I currently use ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1 for recovery mode.
Specs of my Sprint HTC Hero/APA6277 are...
Android version: AOSP
Baseband version 2.42.02.10.29,
Kernel version 2.6.29.6-aospMD [email protected] #1
Mode version: aospMOD-0.9.9.2
Build number: FRG83
I plan on flashing the AOSP GB Mod to my device as soon as a stable version of it becomes available.

As I'm Sure You Know,
*Rom Manager* Has The Option "Flash Alternate Recovery" Which Switches The Users Recovery From Clockwork, To Amon_Ra, Right?
So I Guess My Question To You Is, What's The Difference Between This Recovery & The Other Two?
Is There More Features??
Oh, One More Thing.... Sorry!!
I Have A **** Load Of Backups From *Rom Manager* Will The Still Be Compatible, Since I Made'em With Clockwork?

That issue was fixed in the newer RA versions (which includes this one and godspeed)
There was a problem wiping with the older RA after the cache location got moved in newer rom versions or something along those lines

I'm not sure what the "flash alternate recovery" does because I only tried clockwork once and flashed over the recovery using terminal
As for features I took screens of each menu on the recovery
And I don't know what kind of backups rom manager does. If they're structured like nandroids it might work You may have to create a folder named "nandroid" and inside that folder create another and throw the backups in there. It'd be structured something like this:
/sdcard/nandroid/oldbackups/*folders go here*
And worst case scenario if they don't work but you really want all of them back you can just flash clockwork back to restore them.

Thanx For The Screenshots,
Now I'm Curious! And I Already Like The Way It Looks Better Than Clockwork! But To Be Honest Im A Little Nervous About Using ADB. Or Terminal Emulator!
Is It Easy/Hard?

As long as you don't put "flash_image (BOOT or any other partition here)" you should be fine.
If you input it incorrectly it won't flash,
example: flashimage recovery /sdcard/darchdroid_ra.img
How to flash it via ADB:
Code:
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/darchdroid_ra.img
reboot

Weird.. Do this for me, open up terminal emulator and type:
Code:
su
flash_image
you should get a return line saying:
Code:
usage: flash_image partition file.img
*see attached picture for example*
Make sure you're inputing it exactly the way I had it in the previous post - underscores and all. If the recovery.img name is different make sure whatever you type is exactly what the img is called.
If it's not in the /sdcard/ directory enter the correct one.
Example) /sdcard/downloads/oldrecovery.img
On my second attached picture you can see that the command worked, but since I already have that recovery flashed it aborts.

I'd just use CW for Gingerbread, RA doesn't wipe boot or system I believe.

Does anyone know if you are able to Wipe Data/cache/dalvik from adb shell?
just making a script to automate the process.
anyone know the commands?

[Q] nandroid via adb or fastboot

hi to all!! i have a doubt....
can i do a nandroid backup of my current rom using adb or fastboot parameters??
anyone can write or leave it here?
thank´s in advance!!

No. Custom recover does it. You can issue the adb reboot recover command to get into it etc....

You sure can do it from adb. I had to find this out when I cracked my AMOLED screen and had to try and back everything up without being able to use the screen of my phone.
You need to be in recovery for it (you might be able to backup with fastboot as well, but I didn't have my bootloader unlocked at the time), so if you are full booted up, reboot into recovery and follow these commands.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
adb shell
nandroid backup
Nice and simple, right?

with the phone booted and in usb debugging mode & only chargue?

If you are booted into the phone (ie. fully loaded and able to use your phone), you need to issue the adb reboot recovery command. If the phone is off, hold down the volume down button as you are booting up. This will load the bootloader. From there, it will do a little check, and then you can use the volume keys to go to Recovery. Hit the Power button to select it. The phone will load the 'X' screen and eventually be in recovery (the text should be green or orange).
Once you are in recovery, you don't need to do anything else on the phone. Just issue
Code:
adb shell
nandroid backup
(You might have to issue the 'su' command if it shows a $ instead of a # before you run the backup.)

[Q] Flashing Custom Recovery

I'm having hard time flash custom recovery. I installed ROM Manager, when I tried to go to recovery I got stuck at android logo with EXCLAMATORY POINT. I already followed this instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10467058&postcount=1638 (deleted these files /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p)
Followed these instructions:
via fastboot
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.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-passion-v2.2.1.img

I also installed 4Ext Touch Recovery, but I think it need a wifi to connect to server, but I can't access a wife connection as of now.
What am I missing? I'm about to flash a ROM, my problem is just the recovery.. Anyone can help me with this? :crying:

i dont think you are missing anything just boot into recovery and flash your rom.
dont use rom manager to flash recovery, dont use 4ext recovery control app.
if you used one of the two methods you mentioned above (terminal or fastboot) and it was successful
then you have a recovery on your phone, boot into it and install your rom of choice, of course some roms will need custom mtd partitions whcih can be managed through blackrose, but for now just flash one within your parameters so you can begin
happy flashing!

I really dont know what is happening. Still I can't go to recovery. Btw, does locking/unlocking bootloader affects in flashing custom recovery. But I think I already unlock mine, how would I know if unlock or lock my bootloader?

... Yea very much so, and I believe I misread you first post, I take it you didn't root your phone properly. First of all check what boot loader you have by booting into your hboot. There are a few ways to get there but for now just power off and then power back on holding your volume down key, here will be a screen with some words and androids skateboarding, write down everything from that screen here.

Well you are better off than just an unlocked bootloader, you have black rose installed which essentially is an engineering bootloader that allows custom mtd partitions.
Right now you have 260 for system, 10 cache and 166 for data, this should be fine for any chance ROM but may consider changing later on depending on ROM you want to run
For now you need these things
ROM of choice and anything else the dev thinks you need (gapps etc)
Put that on root of sdcard, make sure it is partitioned to fat32 and not in any folder
Also need to have fastboot working, I'm assuming you are using windows.
You will need fastboot.exe usually found in the android SDK and elsewhere.
Proper drivers installed, and although not necessary its nice to add fastboot and adb into path in environmental variables.
If all this is done great. If not go do it now.
Now get recovery, let's say amonra. Open cmd in the same directory as the recovery image, make sure you name it recovery.img (if you don't change command to fit)
Boot into hboot, and put phone into fastboot mode and connect to computer
In cmd type
fastboot devices
If you see your serial # good, if not then you missed something earlier
Now type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If the output say done then you are good, select recovery from within hboot menu and reboot there, once in recovery do a nandrpoid backup (good practice) then do a full wipe, (yes wipe everything you possibly can - side note fastboot -w is cleaner for future reference) then flash ROM, gapps, whatever you need
Let me know if you get stuck

Hi, I have a follow up question regarding sd partition, I will just raise my question here than making another thread. I have 4GB SD card but I forgot how much ext partition I made before but my total space in my SD card is 3.21GB. I want to partition my sd card again and increase it maybe to 1gb. If I will increase my partition should I flash again my ROM (VJ CM10.1 | Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - v6.0) and execute a2sd command in terminal emulator? or it's okay to partition my sd card without flashing the ROM again?

You can partition SD without fllashing rom again
On this phone the easiest way to check what you have is in 4ext recovery under info, or if you have a Linux distro run gparted
You could also run df through adb shell or if not by a computer, open a terminal and type
such
df
But being it sounds like you want too repartition I would just flash 4ext recovery and do everything from there

I think a2sd is not working in my device. When I tried to install a2sd or reinstall it there was a line written in termenal emulator (/dev/block/mmcblkop2) I think that the reason why I easily having internal memory full, even I already partition my sd card, with 1024 ext partition using 4ext touch recovery. Check my screenshot in titanium backup showing my memory status..
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app

It looks like its working, just need to move what you want from data to ext partition shown by titanium as a2sd. What ROM are you running? It does support having apps on ext correct?

if the rom doesnt have the feature built in then use an app from the market to do it, ive never used this rom so i dont know what options it has
also if you want an easy to see graph style layout of you partitions download Disk Usage from the market, you can easily see what is stored in which partition

Thanks, Btw, what if I wanted to change my ROM, what procedure should I follow? Should I go back to Stock ROM before flashing a new ROM?

Nope, boot to recovery, do a nandroid backup, wipe everything, wipe twice even, hell fastboot wipe (most issues people have when flashing a new ROM is not clean wiping)
Then flash ROM like you did first time, and being you have a huge partition for system right now I would suggest to shrink it a bit first, maybe around 170 if your going to use cyan mobile. If you do this you propably should be prepared to flash recovery again as well

Thanks for the quick reply. So, you're saying that I should partition my system first and flash recovery just like what you taught me in our previous posts? Just to be sure and making all things clear to my self.

Reboot in recovery.

Hi. I have a stock based rom, deodexed. I cant' reboot in recovery with the shoutdown menù. I tried also with apps like rom manager, recovery boot does not works, every time goes in normal reboot. Anyone can give me some suggestions?
Although the power button + vol- button work as normal, but i want to set the "recovery reboot" in the menù, also reboot in fastboot and bootloader boot
I have cwm 6.0.4.5...

It happens to me too!
I have deodexed Stock ROM 4.1.2 and I wanted to add advanced power menu with 4 -Way Reboot: Reboot, Hot Boot, Bootloader and Recovery.
I have followed many guides and in particular this (here my post)
Now all reboots work, except Recovery Reboot:
when I select "Recovery" the phone restart normally!!
After several tests, I tried to use some scripts to reboot into Recovery!
First Script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo "boot-recovery" | /system/bin/dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 count=13
When I run this script, the phone reboot into Recovery only the first time and any option I selected, the phone always restarts in Recovery! Why?
Second Script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
rm /cache/recovery/command ; echo 'boot-recovery' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 count=13 ; reboot ;
When I run this script, the phone reboot into Recovery immediately!
Now I would like know how I can fix this Problem!
And those scripts serve to reboot the phone into recovery via Advanced Power Menu?
I tried everything and I do not know where I'm wrong!

Are you both running cwm? Could that be the issue?

Install "Xposed Framework" and "Advanced Power Menu" to get your wanted options...

You have to edit the frameworks to add the option, you'll need the android kitchen for that.
The fastboot reboot won't work, the fastboot boot option will work somewhat if you add "-c "androidboot.mode=normal"" as in fastboot boot [kernel.img] -c "androidboot.mode=normal"
It will have some problems but it'll work.

I think he means that he isn't able to reboot to recovery with the option from the shutdown menu, not that there isn't one.
As he wrote he can't boot to recovery with ROM Manager either.
I had such problems back in the beginning of 4.3 development but and on stock too.
Maybe try to grab a log from boot if you tried to reboot to recovery.

[dev] [wip] More Data on lg optimus l90

so ive messed with this before and have hard bricked devices doing so but those devices diddnt have custom recovery but i was able to increase the data partition size by approximately 500MB (see screenshot below) im working on a recovery zip that wll do it and seeing wherelse i can pull stuff from lol. i plan to future update it so that the system is 1GB which is about all you really need and shrink partitiojnns that have more space then they ned down to like 5MB to keep the number scheme the same
Beta 1 zip is bad i am just goinmg to make a windows bat file that will do it lol
instructions.
if you want to keep your rom and data you will need and external sd card that is big nough to hold a backup of system and data.
okay i made a bat script that **SHOULD** work i havent been able to test one part of it so if youd like to test ill attach the zip to the bottom of the post
DISCLAIMER
i am not resposible if you brick your device doing this i can only confirm it will work on D415 if your onj a variant and want to know if itll work PM me the output put either from adb or a terminal emulator ls -l /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-num
now there are instructions on screen to follow so make sure you fread them or you could screw something uyp lol

I tried using this and it at first didn't find adb. I moved the .bat into the tools folder, and it ran and booted to recovery. When it booted to recovery it sat there saying "waiting for device to enter recovery"

Okay. I need to refresh my bat scripting obviously XD and do you have twro installed? I should have mentioned that and if nothing else just unplug plug back in.

Um no, I have Philz-Touch installed, Is there any way to turn this into a flashable zip? I don't want to loose my CWM format backups, so if I must switch to TWR then I might pass for now.
Awesome work none-the-less.

No problem.

What about restoring original partition scheme? Is this possible via kdz tools (or what's called)? Is kdz reparitioning device?
Or it has to be done manually (then we have repart making it EXACTLY the same, every single byte?

@demonslayer12349, your script is a little strange.
Code:
@adb shell su -c "mount -o remopunt rw, /"
It should be:
Code:
@adb shell su -c "mount -o remount rw, /"
isn't it?
Then another thing. You delete 4 partitions and create only three.
For D410 partition 31 is "eksst". It is 0.5mb only. What is the reason to delete it?
Or the script is device-specific?

As I know LG software doesn't recreate partitions, so you have to do it manually.
