[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery (Test) for G2X

---

Read Me First!
This will get CWM on your device's recovery partition and wipe out your stock recovery. If you wish to keep things simpler, just install ROM Manager and "flash" the T-Mobile G2x recovery from there, it doesn't actually overwrite your stock recovery, but it will still let you boot into CWM recovery, only by using ROM Manager, of course.

** Not responsible for any damage done, obviously. **

Instructions
Here is an initial test of CWM recovery for the G2X. You need to use nvflash to flash this, I've packaged it up for you and included a nice bash script to flash it, on Linux.

Pull battery.
Hold VOL UP+VOL DOWN
Plug in USB.

The phone won't do anything, but you should see it under 'lspci'.

Then grab http://mirror.dal.tdrevolution.net/c...h-recovery.tgz

Extract it, and run flash-recovery.sh
You're not stuck on a software upgrade screen, when your computer says the recovery image was transferred successfully, just pull USB and you're done.

Changes
test2 - Properly mount /sdcard to the external SD.
test2 - Fix device name, should be p999 not p990.
test2 - Do not use custom recovery ui, navigate using VOL UP/DOWN and Power to select. (BOARD_HAS_NO_SELECT_BUTTON).
test1 - Initialness.

Wow, this was fast. I'm already loving the development on this phone.

Too sleepy to try something I'm not familiar with, but thank you SO MUCH for the quick recovery!!! I was afraid I was going to regret leaving the N1 dev scene, but seriously, I don't think I'll notice a difference...

[edit: can't do it anyways.... running windows 7 here.]
[edit 2: wait, now I'm confused. Is the entire thing linux only or just the script? I feel extremely stupid right now.]

You can run nvflash on Windows, i just don't have the files handy. Just the tools I provided are linux-only, maybe someone will whip up a quick windows version.

Had a feeling something was going to be released so I had to starly up

one day after store release and already a cwm... nice!!!
gonna give this a try

Trying to do this in Windows...almost got it... but I need the NVidia APX driver in order for Win7 to recognize the device. Searching...

sudo ./nvflash --bct E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 recovery-star-test1.img

Based on the flash-recovery.sh script above, is there a need for a fastboot.bin file as well?
