A question:

By changing /dev/block/mtdblock2 with /dev/block/mtdblock0 for system and

/dev/block/mtdblock0 with /dev/block/mtdblock3, in your scripts, will it work on mini/mini pro, or my phone will turn to a flaming firework? :D

Thank you in advance for your reply sir.

Run into this problem too, no matter if I use terminal, via ADB shell or via gscript :(
Code: 
mkdir failed for /data/local/tmp/xrecovery, File exists
mount: Device or resource busy
rm failed for -rf, No such file or directory
cp: write error: No space left on device

edit: solved by starting the shell script via Root Explorer!

Actually it *might* work fine... recovery auto-detects partitions, so you only need to adjust /system and /appslog paths in chargemon and installation script!


As for installation, the best thing would be to write a simple app which would replace .sh script (copy 2 files into /system and 1 into /appslog). Unfortunately I hate java so much that I won't even try :D Anyone interested in helping?


Cheers!

I just did it. Now I need some brave owners to try it out.

The file is shared between X10 mini and X8. The installation process is exactly the same.

IT'S NOT FOR X10 MINI PRO!

IT IS NOT TESTED! I CANNOT TEST IT MYSELF! IT MAY WIPE OR DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE!
Let me know if it works.

Hello !

Thanks a lot for your job ! I tried it two minutes ago and it worked fine !
I used "Easy Setup" with GScript Lite.
Do you want me to try something more particular ?

I will finish this message with a famous sentence ... Sorry for my bad English ! =D

Hey Z, I've had the same problem of some other people:

mkdir failed for /data/local/tmp/xrecovery, File exists
mount: Device or resource busy
rm failed for -rf, No such file or directory
cp: write error: No space left on device

then I've ran it from root explorer like it was suggested and it worked, but when I open the recovery menu it shows in the middle of the screen "E:Can't open /tmp/recovery.log
and it seems that I can't make backups, I click in backup and it shows
sd card space free 3221MB
Backing up system...

and it just goes back to the recovery menu...

It's basically like starting up your phone and going in the back door and not running your software right away.

It makes you able to flash custom roms as well as backup your own.

Edit: I'll shortly be posting a nandrecovery of a stock rogers rom.

So basically what you're saying is we now have access to flashing custom ROM's like stock Android 2.2 (Not the AOSP)?

    Q&A:

    Q: How to use "boot custom ROM/kernel" option?
    A: this is designed for ROM developers. This option executes a custom script (/system/kernel/boot.sh), which may be used for multiple puproses like:
    - boot custom kernel
    - boot custom ROM from SD Card
    - dual-boot
    - etc

    Q: can you give an example?
    A: Sure. Here's the simple boot.sh script to boot the custom kernel:
    Code: 
    #!/sbin/sh
# zdzihu: boot custom kernel

insmod /system/kernel/splboot.ko
sync
cat /system/kernel/miniloader > /proc/splboot/image
cat /system/kernel/boot.img > /proc/splboot/boot_img
sleep 3
echo > /proc/splboot/boot

    Q: What's edify scripting?
    A: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936175

    Q: Will it work with X8/X10mini/X100/T1000?
    A: Yes and no. Yes, because it's compiled in compatibility mode (armv6).
    But not this particular release. The init files must be changed by X8/X10mini/X100/T1000 devs first. Please check in the relevant threads.

    Soon. At the moment I'm working on integrating update-binary into recovery - without it update.zip might either not flash or damage /system partition. Let's say it's a critical update :)
