Root Recovery for commando

[or2me]

I put my nandroid here:

BS-20111129-2052.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download - Robert Glenn

I do not know if it is still there. I am at work and file share sites are blocked on my work computer. As far as how I got my phone to work (back then) I just restored the above nandroid and it went back to working. BTW, I was on 2.3.3 when I started. If you will go back one page on this thread another gentleman has a link to a file shared 2.2.1 nandroid if that is what you are looking for.

Be careful. You can really mess your phone up. I've done it twice now so I'm going to be a spectator now.

is the link 2.3.3 or 2.2.1 ?

oooooh.... so that's what rjglenn stands for lol.

ok, so how would I edit the script to revert(go back) to the ORIGINAL recovery.

lol why do white people yell at people who don't speak english? like saying it louder will make someone understand it better lol

Gimme time to look at it, and I'll see if I can reverse engineer it for your.

This is the link to where I was told that the recoveryflash.sh script could be modified. Just no one explained how to modify it.

If you rename dump-recovery.img to recovery.img, place it back in the recovery folder on your sd card, and rerun it, it should work. Otherwise, if you want, I can mod the to do the reverse (honestly right now, you're best bet is to do it yourself. This isn't high in my priority list., because there's an easy fix..)

Otherwise, you can learn Linux command to modify it (hint, after it declares variables, "mv /sdcard/dump-recovery.img /sdcard/recoveryflash/recovery.img")

i think that's what rjglenn did, and he has added another brick to his wall......

I renamed the dump recovery file recovery.img and used the script that GNM provided to flash his recovery, thinking it would just put it back. I excuted the script using the script program that was used with the V6 supercharger script. It didn't work. After plinking around for a while with the terminal emulator I called reboot recovery. I got to the "now loading" screen. After an hour I figured it didn't work. I was not able to call recovery with abd from the computer (adb wait-for-device reboot recovery). So it was a big fail.

As far as Asurion, if you brick it, tell them what you want. You bricking it shouldn't even come up in the converstation.

i am not white people , i am chinese .

GNM's script does not work on my phone ,
so i made scripts myself .

if you want to install the recovery ,
it means you must run this command :

"flash_image recovery (the path)/recovery.img"

so you must place the "flash_image" into "system/bin" and chmod it to 755.

it needs root .

the GNM's script does not work on my phone . but my script does.

Out of curiosity, why do you wanna go back to stock recovery?

Just because there's a recovery doesn't mean that it's useful...

 

[jova33]

I've been wanting to exchange this under warranty for months. The vibrate sounds like it rattled loose. Lol. Its pretty annoying, but I can live with it.
Also, if a root method is found, and there's an update that actually has something useful.

Ok, lemme look into it. I'm at school right now and building a kernel/trying to overclock my phone (Xperia Play) but after I get home, I'll look into it.

 

[un1ocked]

do someone have update.zip file, the official ones?
so i can update via this custom recovery
still on froyo

No, as of right now, we do not have the complete update in any format.

 

[un1ocked]

doing nandroid backup will not include the radio.img?
i have run this commando at another cdma carrier

Yeah... I was just thinking about this. If I did trade in the phone under warranty, it will probably contain the newest update.

that's great, do some backups, then post it here
i want try the latest m100, waiting for such an efficient kernel

Hurry! Mine came yesterday, it was on M80. I updated it because the whole reason for all of this was to get PTT back.

 

[jova33]

well i need the stock recovery back on it. i'm pretty sure verizon will know i broke warranty when they see recovery by GNM on it.

 

[rjglenn]

That's the whole problem with the no-root policy. Your issue is a mechanical problem and has nothing to do with being rooted or not.

 

[jova33]

maybe i sped up my vibrators when i had root, thus leading to a mechanical break down of my phone? lol I don't know. it is stupid.

Sounds like the makings of a script for a bad porno...

 

[Spike G]

run it over... it broke, and now they cant get into the software! bam, new phone

 

[rjglenn]

Oh my. That's a bit extreme to get an update. Is an update worth $100?
