[Recovery ROM] [15-August-2010] RA-hero-v1.7.0.1
- Thread starter Amon_RA
- Start date
Yup... that one gives me a menu also. Any options I need to test? (let me know if i'm going to wipe out my sdcard first... I haven't backed it up yet).
I just did a full Nandroid backup and then restored it. The whole process worked perfectly. I rebooted the phone and it's working just like it was before the restore. Awesome!
adb devices reports a recovery device
adb shell gives me root access
adb push lets me push a dummy file to /
Nandroid backup runs
USB Mass Storage works
I don't know what sdard:update.zip and sdcard:choose.zip do...
I don't want to Wipe the device or do any of the Wipe/Part, Repair, Convert.
I don't know what the Fix options are going to do... don't want to damage my newly opened up phone too soon.
the "sdcard:" options are for running install scripts. This is how all the custom roms are installed.
The fix options is scripts that make sure the permissions are correct for installed apps incase it somehow borks out.
Looks like we are almost done then, if someone can post the contents of the /system/build.prop file from a running CDMA phone (not in recovery mode) and I'll make a final update to it and it can be unleashed on the world

Here is the "final unofficial" version. Give it a test, a screenshot would be nice from it (wanna make sure it says the right stuff and the bottom of the menu).
If it works I'll make a thread with it till we can get amon_RA to release an offical one.

Rebooting works
Nandroid backup works
Nandroid restore works
I have no update zips to apply (wish I did
)Wipe data/factory reset works
Didn't try any wipe SD stuff (don't have ext and don't know what dalvik is)
Part SD (only fat32) works
Not sure what fix apk uid and rotate do so didn't try
USB mass storage on/off both work
I'd say release this bad boy!
Some of my thoughts for the new update:
Thanks.
- There is new BART script (1.0.0)
- And also new fix_permissions script (2.03, its called beta but ive found it stable)
- HTC wallpaper is hmm... ugly? Imo black screen would be best option for background.
- Option to convert ext3 to ext4 in main menu (like option to convert ext2->ext3, and yes it can be done from More Utilities, but it could be way easier if we have this option in main menu)
Thanks.
Maybe a stupid question but the features mention Busybox but for some reason i can't find any sign of busybox?
Do i need to install it myself or when or how can i use it?

31This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source with a lot of things added by me. The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu.
All source code is available at github.
This recovery if for the HTC Hero only, so NOT the Sprint Hero!!!, if you have an :
- HTC Dream/G1 you should go here.
- HTC Magic/MT3G you should go here.
- HTC Sprint Hero you should go here.
- HTC Eris you should go here.
- HTC Tattoo you should go here.
- HTC Nexus One you should go here.
- HTC Evo 4G you should go here.
Important notes
- Make sure your battery is at least 30% before using nandroid!!
- Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!
You can do this by doing :- "cat /tmp/recovery.log" OR "cat /cache/recovery/log" right after you had the issue.
- Use the "move log to sd" option in the "others" menu right after you had the issue. This will move the log to /sdcard/recovery.log so you can easily open it with a text editor.
How-to Navigate
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).

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) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery
Code:Copy recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.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-hero-v1.7.0.1.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-hero-v1.7.0.1.img adb shell mount /sdcard adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img adb shell reboot
Download
- ALWAYS check the md5sum to make sure the zip isn't corrupted.
Only flash recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img if you have a 32A Sapphire with 6.35.x.x radio and 1.76.x SPL, recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img will NOT boot! I'll create a new Sapphire version soon.
- recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img - MD5Sum: 2c399ba2d780742c1eb8bb2710a31684

You can get the orginal HBOOT from the old RUU package.
If you want to flash it back here's an update package to flash it (I'm not responsible for any bricks, make sure you know what you are doing, have the right HW etc).
This is "original" 1.76.0004 hboot, that came shipped with the Hero.1
