Stock Android Recovery

---

I know we have no way of getting back to stock since we don't have an FXZ yet but why couldn't we use the stock Android recovery upon boot then use our nandroid backup from the ATRIX 2 bootstrap incase someone is stuck on a bootloop or messes their phone up? Would this work?

It sounds plausible, we just need someone that is still within their 30 day return time that has the nerve to try it. They would have to do a nandroid then purposely soft-brick and hope and pray I guess.

Well I dont remember being able to do this on my OG Atrix but today I was messing around and powered my phone off. I was wanting to get to the boot option screen so I could boot into stock recovery. Well I did and got the usual green man with a triangle. Then I proceeded to push the same buttons that got me to the boot option screen and then the stock recovery menu showed up just like CWM recovery. Was we able to do this on the OG Atrix because I dont remember?

In the Droid razor forums they have a way to boot cwm on power up. Ill post the link later. Why couldn't we port that to our phones?

If what I have just done will work we can do the same thing upon boot without having to port anything.
We should be able to flash any zip located on the sd card upon boot via the stock android recovery.

Hoping someone with a lil more knowledge of this stuff will chime in here

The stock recovery wont work for a few reasons the biggest is you cant backup and restore. We need cwm no question about it. we need this on our phones.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1385283
I have been talking to hashcode about porting his safestrap method from the droid 3 to our a2's. That would work even better because then we'd be able to restore to stock w/o an fxz or sbf.

Why can't you restore with the stock recovery? We can create backups through our bootstrap so that isnt a problem and it works just fine. But we have no option at boot which is the problem. Look at my last pic. That is my nandroid backup through our bootstrap.

I'm Uploading a video to youtube of what we need.. Hold tight. And I thought you couldn't use backups created from other recoveries?

So this is the droid 3 safestrap from hashcode working on my A2. I have been able to make backups that are actually 300mb more then the bootstrap cwm backups. I have Not tried restoring backups using it. I have replaced my phone 4 times now with best buy I don't want to try again.. I have sent hashcode some files he requested to hopefully port this over to the A2.

Check it out!

I'm not trying to spam the board here it just looks like this would really work for us.

THAT is what I don't know?

Yes I'm familiar with hashcodes safestrap and if he can get it ported to our A2 then that would be exactly what we would need. I was thinking hard about asking him for help myself. So I'm glad you did

I know just enough about this stuff to be dangerous, as in making paperweights with phones
LoL


DONE SOME DIGGING AROUND AND I've ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION. NO IT WON'T WORK. STILL LEARNING EVERYDAY :/
