Well I entered though ROM manager (NOTE: IF YOU DOWNLOAD ROM MANAGER DONT USE ANYTHING BUT REBOOT INTO RECOVERY. YOU WILL PERMA-BRICK YOUR PHONE USING ANY OTHER OPTION, BECAUSE THE SPIRIT IS NOT A SUPPORTED DEVICE) I flashed a theme in the recovery and it worked just fine. We also get the pink graphics. I don't have much space on either memory so can someone test backups and restores. I don't have a PC I can backup all my storage to at the moment.

Edit: the capital print is for users who aren't familiar with ROM manager. Entering through the app itself though avoids the factory reset. I'll try another app though that less dangerous

Strange... We've always been told that if you use an app to boot to recovery you will factory reset.

So does this mean we can use this to get into recovery....

Edit: I use quick boot all the time, but only for reboot and shutdown.

If you feel safe doing it just booting into recovery through quick boot. Now that we have an unofficial recovery that's actually on the recovery partition it may not reset.

Yea I just used quick boot. And it booted into recovery w/o reset. And did a restore w/o any problems.

no one? where are all teh custom kernels? recoveries?

I been talking to mysteryemotionz. He said he would try his hand at whipping up a recovery. Just has to get familiar with Loki.

Keithman2567 · Jul 11, 2013

I just tried booting into it with the volume keys and power. When it says hit power to confirm reset I did, went into cwm, rebooted and I still have all my apps and files in my download folder. So I'm pretty sure it won't reset.

no he wont

Well, there is that. But at least pg is working on one. Question though. With the ability of custom kernel's now would that make cm10 a bit easier to build.

Keithman2567 · Jul 11, 2013

Yes much easier

I know you meant kernel

Edit: damn. I did make the mistake of saying recovery. I meant kernel. Lol. My bad shab

GameTheory · Jul 11, 2013

Quick question... Where are you guys seeing the pink graphics? Is it only in recovery or all throughout the rom?

Sorry haven't been able to test. Been lazy to restore my phone from bootloop. lol

Quick Question PG... Are you making a new flashable recovery for all roms? Or is it just source for CM10?

Thanks

I guess the answer is no you wont be doing one. No prob. I'm willing to give it a try and do one for everyone...

But I keep getting this when I run it....

you didn't specify aboot.img recovery.img....etc...

read the readme.

that ^^^

and what the readme (for obvious reasons, was intended for devs.

) left out is you have to compile the loki_patch.c

Code:

gcc loki_patch.c -o loki_patch
