[DEV] 09/June v1.8.1.7 - fake-flash by Koush, launching recovery without a PC - EVO 4G Android Development

THIS WILL NOT WORK ON UNREVOKED ROOT.
paulobrien said:
This morning, Koush and I have been working on / stumbling through getting recovery running on a Evo without using a PC for devices rooted with a test image. The same technique also applies to the Legend and Desire. Presenting...
fake-flash!
Fake-flash using a similar concept to the original root method, it launches a recovery image from the test image recovery, but instead of pushing the files from a PC, the files are extracted from an update.zip on the SD card.

You can now download and install the recovery via ROM Manager! It's a free app on the Market. Buy the premium version to support my work!
ROM Manager will ALSO install the recovery update.zip to /sdcard/update.zip. So if you ever hose your installation, simply start up in test/stock recovery mode, and navigate to apply sdcard:update.zip! And you'll be in ClockworkMod recovery!
Preparation
Download the fake-flash update zip from one of the links below
Copy the update.zip to the root of your SD card (the name MUST remain as update.zip)
When you want to launch the recovery image
Turn on your device with 'volume down' pressed and select 'Recovery'
When the exclamation mark appears, press and hold 'volume up' then press 'power'
Select the second option, 'Apply sdcard:update.zip
That's it, ClockworkMod recovery should launch!
ROM Manager is by FAR the easiest way to install this. It's free! Go get it! For manual installation, use the following link:

Yes, what you were using was a beta meant for the Desire. This version works great on Evo

yes this works like a champ. u have saved us koush. thanx

i'm getting signature verification errors
EDIT: just read that it will not work with unrevoked

You're using unrevoked? That won't work.

thank you getting sick of having to be around a computer to change roms very much appreciated

are there any roots that work with the new .6 update? other than unrevoked?

Link doesn't work on my evo

Koush?
Can this be done from the ota update or do i have to flash back to the first original stock evo rom?

I don't see wipe davlik cache, only cache altogether. i'm assuming this wipes the dalvik as well, is this true?

Can some 1 post thr links again I cant find them

I'm speechless Great job

So do we need to rename the download in the original post to update.zip since it is something else by default?
Edit: Nevermind. ROM Manager is bad-ass (except that reboot into recovery doesn't work).

32A Cyanogen's Recovery 1.3.1

Ported From:

Was playing around with my sdcard trying to make ext3 partition so i decided to port this recovery for 32A...
ofcourse i had to change the kernel.
Code:

Would you port this to 32B please?

I'm pretty sure the original recovery for the dream will work for 32B
just download it from the original thread and
"fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.3.1.img"
Sure? I'm scared about my magic dies :S
Ok, It seems It works. fastboot boot image to test it
Thanks

Yeah the same way...
it's different because it has a few shell command that very usefull, apps2sd, parted,...etc
sorry, but i have no idea wat to do.
I'm run the image and did a 'repair ext filesystems'
anyone can advise wat am i suppose to do after that?
There's no app2sd option and when i hit 'go to console', my magic just freezes.
am i missing something?
thanks in advance.
@star1977: no don't hit console... you need adb on your computer which is provided by download the sdk..
after you go into recovery wait for 30 seconds thats when adb will pickup the device...
"adb shell"
then the rest of the stuff are explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534479 under "formatting your sdcard"

Click to expand...

after you do "upgrade_fs" try "apps2sd" or "a2sd" and reboot because sometimes the script doesn't get executed so u have to run it manually...
if those command dont work from recovery, run "a2sd" when you are not in the recovery.

i notice after the 1st time i did apps2sd, my phone memory increases.
so i guess the apps probably went to the sdcard.
Thus i went to try install another app. but it went into the phone memory.
do I have to keep running apps2sd to trf the apps to my sdcard?
I guess so, it should be getting called by the init.rc i don't know why it doesn't get called... i will see if i can fix it, your using my jacheroski port right?

ROM wont flash

I am aware that this is my third thread about asking questions but these questions are pretty much precise and hard to find just googling online, especially when this is my first time Rooting/Flashing ROMs.
I tried to apply the ROM and it didnt continue, it said it was aborted or something
it says
cant open \rom folder name
"bad"
Installation aborted
Hi,
U may need to give more specifics.....
Phone type?
Root method?
Which ROM is giving u the problem?
Which ROM are u currently on? Or is it ur first ROM after root?
Are u installing via recovery or ROM manager?
Lastly, I'd put this post in whichever ROM u are actually trying to flash since the development crew monitor that thread of their ROM.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G
Phone type? Nexus S i9020a
Root method? manual root using command prompt in computer
Which ROM is giving u the problem? pretty much any rom, maybe Im putting it in the phone's memory the wrong way?
Which ROM are u currently on? Or is it ur first ROM after root? Im using cyberGR rom right now, but I had to do it the easy way and download it through ROM manager. Im hoping I could learn doing it manually
Are u installing via recovery or ROM manager? see above ^^^
to be honest I dont really know how to put the rom inside the phone... what I did is I just unzipped it to the folder inside the Nexus S( mounted storage to PC)
went to recovery and picked that folder, but then it says:
cant open \rom folder name
"bad"
Installation aborted
Ahh. Don't unzip it. Throw the .zip itself on the phone.

and same applies for custom themes,widgets, launchers,icons ect? How do I access it through the phone?
Any flashable zip can be installed by going to "install zip from SD card" select the zip file and it will install automatically.

If the author of the zip file says: "Flashable through CWM (Clockworkmod)" then it can be installed in this way. No unzipping required.

Are you sure you have cwm on there? Top of ROM manager, reflash cwm. Doing it manually is simpler than from manager. Just boot into recovery, wipe what you need to and install the relevant .zips.

its sounds like you dont have a custom recovery installed. if you did flash clockworkmod recovery from rom manager(i hate that app), chances are that your custom recover disappeared. try flashing cwm recovery through fastboot.

Heimdall One-Click Defuse. The easiest way to get CWM installed so you can flash ROMs

introduction
Hey guys, I was trying to figure out how to root my device so I could install CWM, so I could install jellybean or something... I totally forgot I made a one-click CWM installer.
Here is a one-click for the Defuse1.5 kernel by LinuxBozo with CWM installed. It's old, but it's a good launchpad for a stock device.
This works on Windows, Linux and Mac and Windows and Linux. Make sure you follow the in-app directions if you've never used Heimdall.
Instructions
1. reboot into Download Mode
2. click the flash button in this app
3. if any problems, repeat with flash bootloaders option checked
4. reboot into recovery
5. flash rom
6. advanced>reboot recovery you will now see a blue recovery instead of orange.
7. flash rom again

Quick question, Adam.
In step three, you had wrote, "repeat with flash bootloaders option checked."
Does this package contain GB bootloaders, being a 2.2.1 kernel?
If someone came directly from 2.2.1 and had never had a previous GB bootloader, will they see the distorted rainbow recovery?
I was not sure if this package had bootloaders.
Thanks.
Thanks, but when click on the download link I just get a page that says welcome to nginx...

[RECOVERY][ROOT] Ulefone Be Touch Lollipop

Want to install custom recovery and root to your brand new Ulefone Be Touch?
I bought mine from http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_194400.html
I tried Kingroot, VRoot and this Be Pro recovery & root http://www.needrom.com/download/root...ipop-20150529/ but these didnt work for me.
So i unpacked that Be Pro recovery image and mixed it with Be Touch stock recovery image and repacked that. Also modified stock Be Touch boot.img.
Now we have working Carliv Touch Recovery (Thanks Carliv) and root in Be Touch.
This rar includes SP Flash Tool, drivers, boot.img, recovery.img and SuperSu installer which you have move to your sd card and install from custom recovery.
Instructions:
-Extract RAR
-Put UPDATE-SuperSu to your phones storage
-Install drivers to PC
-Open SP Flash Tool
-Check boot and recovery and select files from files-folder (Uncheck others if they are checked)
-Push download button
-Remove battery from the phone and connect USB
-Disconnect USB when SP Flash Tool says OK
-Install battery and start phone with vol up + power
-Select install zip from sdcard and select super su
-Reboot phone and you are done
-Click thanks if you are satisfied
UPDATE
Here is new boot.img and recovery.img for rom version "20150806" http://www.megafileupload.com/54gw/B...very082015.rar

So I'm guessing all we have to do is install the drivers, open the flash tool, point the recovery and boot image in there, flash then after install the root zip from internal/external card and all will be working?
I would say proceed as mentioned in the steps above. You are just repeating what has been mentioned above
Thank you for that 1st rooting technique.
Did you know if OTA updates are still working with it ?
Took 1 minute to root! Phantastic, thank you a lot for that easy description!

Yes, please watch on youtube "how to install MTK Preloader 65** driver correctly - windowss 8.1" works also for windows 7

Yes, I got my BE TOUCH also rooted. I got some problem with driver installation in Win7, but solved finally. Thanks!
There is OTA update available. I can download data, but update not successful. Maybe was the reason that I got phone rooted?

Installed YNG1TAS2I3, reboots, boots to recovery, reboot, and says I have to install?

Odd bug (but I think I saw someone else mention it)
I installed YNG1TAS2I3 and it reboots but it strangly boots to recovery. From there, I just do a standard reboot. It boots up but when Android boots up, it says I still have to install YNG1TAS2I3. Installing it just produces the same results.
What can I do?

You're flashing the OTA manually which is literally like letting the update installs itself just that you do the clicking and touching of your screen instead of it doing automatically...
