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

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).

[GUIDE] How to get ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 on your DHD

Hi! A lot of people ask for a guide to install ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 on the Desire HD.
I'm not a pro, i make this guide to help people ! Some one can correct me if I'm wrong, i'm open !
Description:
This guide will help you to install CWM 3 on your Desire HD.
Warning:
CWM 3 doesn't support update-script (Amend), it requires update-binary and updater-script (Edify)
Not all mods use updater-script, test and if that don't work, try this this usefull tool that make the conversion betwen Amend and Edify: amend2edify
If some one want, i can explain the use of this tool
Before Flashing:
You need adb and fastboot to perform this install !
You can download it here:
http://www.multiupload.com/QACREBQOWO
You also have to download the CWM 3 .IMG here:
http://www.multiupload.com/80H7K8IXG4
Let's GO !:
1) Extract the content of adb_fasboot.rar in a folder named "adb_fastboot" at the root of your disk (ex: "C:\adb_fastboot")
2) copy the .IMG of CWM 3 into the same folder of the step 1 (ex: "C:\adb_fastboot\ace-cwm-3.0.0.5.img")
3) Connect your phone by USB in (Charge only mode
4) Open a command prompt: Windows key + R and type "cmd" and valid by OK
5) Go into your adb_fastboot folder with this command:
Code:
cd C:\adb_fastboot
If your folder disk is not c:\ replace "C" by the correct letter !
If your folder is not named adb_fastboot, repalce "adb_fastboot" by your folder name !
6) Reboot your phone in bootloader with this command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
7) Flash the recovery with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ace-cwm-3.0.0.5.img
8) Reboot your phone:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Well done !

I installed CWM 3 earlier but I just went back to 2.5.1.3 using ROM Manager as I couldn't be bothered updating mods to work with CWM 3. No problems to report

how to change color font ?
dark green or dark blue mayby white?
I do not like ... brown

LOL sorry.. U can't.. it's only recovery, you don't use it that often to really be bothered about .. and it's orange, not brown

hi there ...
ppl how try the new cw 3 ... what is the point to move from 2.1.5 to 3.0.05 ..
anyone can repot the advantige and disadvan...???

You need to upgrade to use gingerbread 2.3. Cwmod 3 uses a ext4 partition and 2... series uses an ext3 partition.

Is the charging bug still present in 3.x version?

Is it possible to do a restore with cwm3?
Every time I try to make a restore from a cwm7 backup
Cwm shows a MD5 error.

i installed sweetsnour kernel in my lg optimus one p500 through rommanager application...and now touchpad of my mobile is not working and it doesn't respond for calls eventhough sim is inside..please help me sir!!!

Try not to use rom manager for anything. It has been known to brick our phone. If you have a backup of your working rom, restore from your recovery. Else clean flash the rom zip again. This will over write your bad kernel flash with the default kernel of the rom.

Seems you have not installed a custom recovery. Is your phone rooted?
Sent from my LG-P500

yes' my phone is rooted

Any custom recovery like cwm or AmonRa? Else try factory reset. 3 button combo of vol down + home + power I believe ! Keep pressed all three buttons for 5 secs. No harm to try.

If you don't have custom recovery, then try this and install a custom recovery like cwm or amonra.

Description
* ROOTED USERS ONLY *
(Please read everything below before installing)
This is a recovery flasher to help users flash a custom recovery to their rooted device using the flash_image binary.
DIRECTIONS (IMPORTANT):
1. Download a recovery compatible with your device (search online)
2. Place the recovery image on your sdcard/external storage
3. Rename the recovery to "recovery.img" all in lowercase
4. Open the app and flash the recovery by pressing the "install recovery" button (Please be patient, wait for all the toasts to go away or it might not flash right)
5. Reboot into your new recovery if you wish
WARNING: I am not responsible if you brick your phone using an incompatible recovery. This app only assists you in flashing a recovery and is not associated with the recoveries you flash.
* PLEASE READ *
Confirmed to work on LG Optimus variants. If the app fails to detect the flash_image binary, there is a high chance that this app will fail to work. However, if you know your device has the binary installed, you can still use it, the app will just complain.
Do not download if you are not rooted.

Hello world !!!
I'm very happy to present you a project of a new kind : The RecoverX Project
The goal of this project is to gather ALL the recoveries for ALL android devices in ONE tool which install them on the devices. RecoverX is coded in C++ thanks to QtSDK and allow to install a recovery on more than 150 different devices !!!
You just have to select your phone and your recovery, to click "Install" and RecoverX does the rest, It's as simple as that
This program have been published on XDA News : Here
Behind this tool : over 120 - 180 hours of work, 4200 lines of code and +350 uses by day !!!
Here is the list of the recoveries which are available :
This program require different prerequesties, depending of your device
- Wether you need an unlocked bootloader to flash the recovery partition (and fastboot drivers on your PC)
- Wether you need root access and usb debugging activated (if busybox is not installed, RecoverX will ask you the permission to install it).
PS : On the first lauch, the download may fail, please, try to restart the program again.
DOWNLOAD​
RecoverX v1.6.5.0 : http://ledelete.atspace.co.uk/recoverx/download.html​Supported devices​

Cannot install stable CM10.2

My capasitive back, home and recent apps buttons has stopped working so I would like to have the on screen buttons as I do on my Nexus 10.
I tried to root the device to be able to modify the /system/build.props file. I used the superboot method but that din't work as I have S-ON. I then continued trying to install CM 10.2, and in the process, when installing CWM recovery, that asked If I wanted to root and I did. I then booted back in to the stock ROM now with root but after changing the build.props file it just reverted after reboot. I then continued to flash the CM10.2 and gapps for 4.3, but the device fails to boot... Now I have reverted to backup and use the button savior, but I don't like it...
I suspect that trying to flash this superboot messed up something... ? On one of the start up screens I have a disclaimer in red about HTC development software which came up after I tried to flash that...

Can anybody help me?

Having root does not grant you automatically rights to modify system files. For altering build.prop you should have mount /system partition in R/W mode before trying to edit the file. Even if you have root, /system is read only so you cannot save changes. You could mount system as R/W either by ADB commands issuing the following from command prompt:
su
adb shell mount -o rw, remount /system
Or by mounting system R/W from the root file Explorer you're using
Sent from nowhere over the air...

I used root explorer to alter the file, and before edit i clicked the mount r+w button. I read somewhere that on-screen buttons does not work on HTC sense anyways, so I may have to install CM or an other rom... I tried to flash just the CM10.2 an not the gapps now, but it fails to boot. The HTC splash screen comes up, the screen goes black, the splash comes, goes black, and so it goes...

I forgot to flash the boot.img... inside the zip

Although this is for another HTC model, the basic idea should get you started again.
http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/fix-soft-bricked-htc-one-by-flashing-new-rom-via-adb-0154361/

I Guess that when i tried the superboot, that did something to my kernel. Inside the .bat file it actually flashes the boot (isn't that the kernel?)
Cyanogenmod also has a note in the install procedure which I initialy didn't do:
Note:
This device, if unlocked with HTCDev Unlock, must have its kernel flashed via fastboot. Extract boot.img from the CyanogenMod .zip package and flash it from the bootloader with: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I flashed the boot.img inside the Cyanogenmod .zip first, than I wiped and installed the Cyanogenmod .zip from the CWM recovery. I ended up using the M7 snapshot of CM11, and that worked! I then flashed gapps for Android 4.4.
After everything was up and running I edited the /system/build.props using root explorer (I mounted /system as r+w inside root explorer) adding the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0, rebooted and got the softkeys!

So what happens if you flash TWRP as the link says?

I din't use TWRP. I used CWM Touch 6.0.4.8.
I probably could just flashed the boot.img after the device didn't boot, but I reverted to backup, and started over and started with the boot flash...

Can you get to the boot loader menu?
You can still flash TWRP on there and follow the instructions. If you really want CWM afterwards, simply flash CWM back on. I would try the link since it is talking about stopping your boot loop.

As I said: I'm OK! Flashing the boot.img from inside the zip did the trick. Everything is working like a charm now.
