[Recovery] CDMA Sprint [13-Dec-2009] RA-heroc-v1.5.2

[Recovery] CDMA Sprint [13-Dec-2009] RA-heroc-v1.5.2
This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's v1.4 recovery.
The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu.
This recovery if for the HTC Sprint Hero only, if you have an :
- HTC Hero you should go here.
- HTC Dream/G1 you should go here.
- HTC Magic/MT3G you should go here.
This recovery is for the CDMA based Hero from Sprint only!
Ext4 is NOT supported because we don't have the kernel source of the HTC Sprint Hero yet... Sorry
Use the trackball (up+down) to navigate through the menu, press the trackball to select items.
You can also use the volume keys (vol-up + vol-down) to navigate, and the CALL-ANSWER key to select items (in case your trackball is broken).
Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!

Install
There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most (I probably forgot a few).
via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys)
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
via fastboot + adb -> In case you don't have a custom recovery, so when you get signature fail errors
Code:
adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
adb shell reboot

Latest :

Change-log :
v1.5.2
Code:
- Updated Nandroid to v2.2.2 (fix ext restore issues)
v1.5.1
Code:
- Updated Nandroid to v2.2.1 (ext support!).
- Added a "Nand + ext backup" menu-item.
- Nandroid and BART menu items will not backup or restore the recovery partition by default.
- Updated init.rc to only load /sbin in PATH.
- Removed the loading cramfs and sqf filesystems from fstab.
- Added an unmount script that is called at the start of most scripts.
- Updated the BKMO-utility script to it doesn't backup/restore the recovery partition + changed the return to recovery command.
- Changed the item select key to CALL ANSWER-key instead of HOME-key. The HOME-key was conflicting other operations.
- Added "Other" sub-menu :
- Moved "fix apk uid mismatches"-item from main menu to "Other" sub-menu.
- Added "Move apps+dalv to SD"-item.
- Added "Move recovery.log to SD"-item (Check this log if you want to see what is going wrong).
- Fixed the Nandroid restore menu; an error message is now displayed when no nandroid backup or device-id was found (instead of showing an empty menu).
- Removed flash submenu and "Apply sdcard:update.zip" item, because we already have "Apply sdcard:choose zip".
- Removed "Wipe cache partition" item, wipe cache is already included in the "Wipe data/factory reset" item.
- Changed UMS-toggle enable behaviour; you can not access the menu while UMS is enabled (avoid mount issues).
- Changed some menu-item labels to make the options more clear.
- Fixed UMS-toggle disable behaviour; files are now refreshed in the menu (sdcard is unmounted).
- Updated the busybox binary to 1.15.2 which has fixes for ash and hush (`trap` handling), dd (fixed handling of I/O errors), find (fix for -follow and symlinks), pidof (corrected recognition of kernel thread names), sed (SEGV), uniq (memory leak), line editing (Ctrl-D works again), build system.
- The busybox binary was :
- statically linked against uclibc (0.9.30)
- configured to preferentially execute busybox applets
- busybox --install -s installs links into /data/local/bin (JF patch)
- mount looks for loop devices at /dev/block/loop (JF patch)
- modprobe and family look for modules in /system/modules (JF patch)
- fixed an issue with vi where it would save a file as just a blank file (JF patch)
- Updated sdparted script to v0.6

Another great post! Thanks. I saw him putting out updates for other phones and I was waiting on ours.
Edit: Installed and working. The menu is all cleaned up. Looking great.

I have to ask because the answer doesn't jump out at me, is there any reason I should ditched 1.2.3 that I have now for this one?
I have fresh rom 0.7 installed now with the 1.2.3 img

Haha Ive been all over since the DRIOD was rooted...lol I got some developing on the 2.1 rom going on in my spare time trying different angles but got jammed up like everyone else on the data front. If I hit any breakthroughs Ill let you know.

It has a couple new features. Such as the ability to clear dalvik-cache (it was previously only off the sdcard, not from /data) and it has a new backup program that is an alternative to nandroid (looks like maybe it backs up your sd card too?). But it won't do anything to help the the phone out in any way.

this should work with the flashrec method right?

hey flipz, when is your next fresh update coming out, im planning on updating them both at the same time?

just follow those steps

Best feature ever! the nandroid in this version will allow you to pick from your different nandroid backups. So if you make one every week or every day you can scroll through the list and pick which one you want. *swoon*

I am leaving to go out of town on Thursday. I'm hoping to get it released by then, however I have lots of surprises up my sleeve and I want to get them all in there (yes... it is still a 1.5 rom! ha).

Any ideas? I have the 1.2.3 recovery loaded now.
EDIT:
I attempted to load it from terminal on the phone...bad idea. Got about 20 "mtd: Read error at MEMORYADDRESSOFSOMETYPE (Out of Memory)"
Completely at a loss here...

@Kcarpenter
I did the same thing. First attempted from PC with same result as you, then from Terminal on the phone.. now I cannot boot into recovery at all.
Phone seems to work normally but on some reboots it goes to fastboot usb and stays there.
I cannot connect through adb when it is in fastboot mode.
What should I do to fix/upgrade my recovery?

apps+dalv to sd
apps+dalv to sd
is there any advantage to this other than creating more space on the device itself? does it slow down the system when accessing these from an sd card?
just good questions.

I was frustrated with the results that Google's Terminal Emulator provided, so I purchased Better Terminal Emulator Pro and retried the Recovery update and it worked flawlessly.
I can now use 1.5.1!
I love that it lets you choose which Nan Backup you want to restore!
Great work RA!

Is there a option to partition your SD card to fat32-ext2-swap like on the other recovery screen. I did not see this anywhere.

Same issue here, I assume we are going to have to figure out WTF we did to Fstab. Hopefully someone better versed in Linux can help us out. I can't even Nandroid now. I was thinking about pushing the Sprint RUU I have back to it and starting from the begining, but oh so painful.
If I had an extra couple of bucks right now I would go buy that better terminal to see if it would work but I am broke.

It's $4, so just buy it and if it doesn't work, you can uninstall and it will not charge you.
I waits 24 hours install to actually bill your card.
You have 24 hours to remove it without being charged.
Personally, I am going to keep it because it is much better than the free options.

I get paid in a few days, it can wait. Phone still works as long as I don't turn it off. If it does go off Ill just play with it for a few minutes and it will come back.

[RECOVERY][CWM] ClockworkMod v6.0.2.7 Touch v14.4.6 | exFAT support (01/11/13)

IRC on freenode: #sk8erwitskil
NEW: I have created a script to easily update to the latest version of my recovery.
- Download this file ----> updater.sh (updated to fix typo)
- Put it on your sdcard
- open adb and type:
Code:
su
sh /mnt/sdcard/updater.sh skyrocket
- it will reboot you into recovery
- starting in v14.2.1 it will automatically start installing and reboot when its done
Note: If your sdcard is not mounted on /mnt/sdcard then open the script and change the line that says path=/mnt/sdcard/sk8sUpdater to match your mount point. i.e. ICS users may have to change it to say path=/mnt/emmc/sk8sUpdater

I have ported touch recovery to Clockworkmod 6. I will be making updates to this just like my other touch recovery. I have added a few menu items and tweaks to make it like my CWM5 recovery.
Looking through the cwm code more in depth i have noticed MANY flaws with the code for new(er) phones that use /emmc instead of /sdcard as the main storage. i have now fixed those flaws in v9+.
Here is a video of how it works: --------> YOUTUBE LINK

This is what the new dedupe format does. This is a direct quote from the original creator of clockworkmod:
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery now deduplicates files between builds. This results in way smaller backups.
Don't delete /sdcard(or emmc)/clockworkmod/blobs
Overview
I've gotten a few questions about how this works, so I figured I'd make a post on it.
Basically, here's what happens:
The files being backed up are hashed (sha256, not that it matters). Then it checks for a file with the name of the hash in
/sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs
So, if the hash of the file was c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed, it looks for /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs/c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed
If the hash file is found, it continues on to the next file. Otherwise, it copies the file to the blobs directory with the file name being the hash.
ROMs and user data, for the most part, do not change too much between builds and backups. So, your APKs, system files, etc, are generally only stored once. This saves a ton of space. Especially between incremental backups.
Some of you may be thinking "well, how do I delete a backup?".
First, never delete the blobs directory. This would actually delete all your backups by rendering them unusable.
Simply delete the usual backup directory, and the next time you run a backup, all the unused hash files will be automatically delete (a process known as garbage collection). The recovery will show "Freeing space..." while this is happening.

Whats in the extras menu?
- change bootanimation (this lets you select a bootanimation form your internal sdcard. it backs up your current bootanimation to /{internal sdcard}/clockworkmod/ba_backup/. it only backs up the original bootanimation so if you keep changing your bootanimation you will still only have your original one in ba_backup.)
- enable/disable one confirm (this makes it so you only have to scroll through one confirm selection when installing something instead of having to go through 10 of them to click yes)
- hide/show backup & restore progress (this makes it so the progress bar when you backup/restore doesnt show up and makes backups/restores a bit faster since it doesnt have to show you the progress and files its backing up)
- select android_secure on internal/external (use this to select where you have .android_secure. default is internal, so if you have it on external make sure to choose this once to set it up)
- aroma file manager (file explorer)
- create custom zip (this will create a custom rom from the currently installed files you have on your phone. it takes your /system partition and /boot partition and makes them into a zip file ready to be flashed. the end product will be in clockworkmod/custom_rom/. this has recently been fixed to work on all phones/roms
- choose custom openrecoveryscript (read THIS)
- recovery info (shows the version of recovery and the build date)
- Special Backup & Restore (backup and restore your kernel/boot and /misc partitions)
- Misc Nandroid Settings (change time zone, turn preload support on/off (default is off), enable md5 checking)

I used the odin install and now I cant boot into recovery at all. just goes to a black screen.
its fixed now

Slightly off topic but what are the benefits in upgrading CWM? I'm on 5.5.0.4 touch and have always disregarded upgrading with each phone I root as they all seem to function the same.

yes thats expected. i dont know how many times this has been talked about. /sd-ext is a legacy option in cwm that was used for apps2sd. if you can find a cwm that doesnt show that error i would be shocked. the only reason it doesnt do it on my 5.5.0.4 touch recovery is because i took out the part where it prints it to the screen so people would stop asking about it. lol.

You are awesome, we need you over on the gsiii side...

would be interested in a downloadlink + if available a newbie-proof manual how to flash the blueStarRom on an LG P700, with standard-android (V. 4.0.3 - the newest via standarad softwareupdate available version, which is much tooo old to run most apps *grrr*), which isn't rooted.
i work with debian linux 10 on my desktop-pc (100% windows- and mac-free household), and would very much prefere a solution to flash this device without being forced to install windows extra for this purpose (don't own any windows-installmedium btw).

How to install Eragon Rom.
You need to use QFIL flashtools
you will find ADB and QFIL Flashtools here in my uploaded zip
KLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
(extract the zip to your desktop)
Also here is a HOW TO Youtube link: ( props @Dynamic_d )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZZGNzERrfg&t=42s
--------------------------------------------------------------------
use QFIL
what do you need :
QFIL Flashtools:
to use flashtools we need to install the flashtools driver first.
Drivers
1. we need to use the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
in the downloaded zip is the Qualcommdriver , just install it .
this will install:
HS-USB QDLoader 9008 and Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E
for Flashing we only need the HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
set up QPST/QFIL Qualcomm Flashtool
-Start the.exe file in QPST.2.7.460 folder.
-accept the terms
-dont change the install path . (
-choose complete installation
-install
- you have to browse to the QFIL.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin , best would be to make shortcut for it on the desktop.
it will look like this:
4. How to use it:
We need to reboot to edl (emergency download mode) use flashtools.
remember to enable usb debugging in developer settings
you can easy reboot to EDL Mode via adb, use:
Code:
adb shell
reboot edl
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
prepare the Flashtool:
in Select Build Type:
choose: Flat Build
in Select Programmer:
browse to the extracted eragon folder and choose the "prog_emmc_ufs_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf" file
Load XML:
now choose the rawprogram_unsparse.xml and right after the patch0.xml
you can press the "download content"
wait a bit , at the end of the flashing procedure it will make an error, thats normal if the patch0.xml is empty.
here:
[
-----------------------------------------------------------
OUT OF DATE:
You are on 20180423 Base . then you can flash TWRP recovery and use it to flash Eragon.
TWRP link: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am93l3qEx-D_hJZSKXo1EZluIWuS9Q
1.place the twrp.img into your adb folder
now we use adb
Code:
adb shell
reboot bootloader
2. now we falsh it to both partitions with
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img
then
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img
thats all.
now reboot from bootloader to recovery using volume buttons
and flash eragon rom zip
Optional make a fullwipe in recovery/wipe/advanced, select system,data,cache and dalvik to prevent issues
after that flash the rom zip twice!
first initial with twrp will be like taht, you have to flash it twice..

Nice rom
Everything working smoothly and stably everything flying ?

I also use nova prime and its works right after installing.
Install nova prime from playstore and you will be fine.
If that don't work because you have the APK on your PC and not bought it in playstore do this:
1. With mixporer explorer go to root/data/app
2. Make a new folder called novaprime
3. Copy the prime.apk into it.
4. Reboot
Gesendet von meinem U_Pro mit Tapatalk

i followed your steps however after reboot the novaprime folder has disappeared from root/data/app folder and still cant install it

So you don't bought it on playstore. Mhh hope it's not a cracked one.
Did you merged the root into system?
Magisk manager / install/ choose direct install.
If prime don't work after that. Send me a PM.
Btw
Try System-root/system/priv-app folder and make it like you did in data/app.

Sorry for the dumb question but how do you install the rom? Via the recovery? I unlocked the bootloader but I don't understand how to flash the Eragon .zip file.

You extract the rom.zip. there is a Eragon v1.0folder in the zip. Place that on your desktop.
Then use qfil flashtools to flash it.
(Look into my guide for it. On first page )
