[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery [v5.5.0.4]

---

Hello everybody.

This recovery may be incompatible with other recovery backups. It's due to v5.5.0.4 being newer and some recoveries are using /cust instead of /boot.

Version 5.5.0.4 - Stable

Bugs (Report):

• No capacitive key support on Synaptics, due to v5.5.0.4 not having virtual keys implemented.

Installation:

• Root your phone.
• Download the recovery.img down below.
• Save it to wherever you want.
• Make sure the image name is recovery.img, rename if needed.
• Download any root file manager, which can mount and show hidden folders.
• Mount /.cust_backup as rw.
• Copy and replace recovery.img from SD card to /.cust_backup/image/recovery.img

Usage:

• Make sure you have disabled fast boot (on official Gingerbread). Go to Settings->Applications->Fastboot and disable it.
• Start the phone in recovery mode [Volume Up] + [Power]. Hold the keys down until you can see boot logo.
• To move up, press [Volume Up].
• To move down, press [Volume Down].
• To select, press [Power].

Downloads:

• MediaFire.

Nice going there! You used 2.35 kernel for this?
Also touchscreen not working anyway in recovery so that's not really a problem.
You are able to create/restore backups? Tried flashing any custom rom?
Also have a look at /tmp/recovery.log

Yeah, I extracted it from boot.img. I saw stockwell had this working, maybe he had a custom recovery kernel for that. The rebooting issue is making thing hard, I almost backed it up, but it rebooted, so that's the main problem. If I get that fixed, I'll try flashing/backup.

Also, in 2.2, I was able to just start the phone with volume down + power, to get to recovery, but in 2.3, this doesn't work for me. I can only get there when I use "adb reboot recovery".

-EDIT-
Got it working, thanks genti7. It starts with vol up + power.

Before my phone bricked i got that problem too with 2.3 stock i cant enter on recovery with key combo

its volume up + power not volume down + power. Try again.

Done any progress?

I don't have time today, will continue tomorrow. I realized that the /boot partition is wrong, can someone help me with this? Maybe the data one is wrong too, the logs say something about that. I'll post correct details tomorrow.

The reboot is probably because you aren't running the rmt_storage server. The modem needs this to run and so reboots the phone without it. The HW recovery mounts /system to run it which is a stupid idea because /system may not always be there. rmt_server needs some shared libs so you will have to copy them to the recovery image too.

Attached is a recovery that I made, it's v4 but should work. I just modified the hw recovery so it needs a working /system. Obviously there's nothing to flash yet (and you won't be able to flash the old ROMs because amss has changed). I don't intend to support this but feel free to try it out.

Thanks. Will do today.
