[DEV] recovery

---

attached is a semi-working recovery, you can flash it with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
update: the recovery can flash boot.img's too, if the custom rom uses "dd" instead of "write_raw_image" to flash the boot.img. i hope mike updates his rom

don't use anything except for "install from sdcard"

i take no responibility for any harm to your device or data

it's basicaly a repacked cwm recovery combined with the stock 1.26 recovery kernel/ramdisk with modifications to init.rc

it is intented for developers wanting to toy around with custom roms, until someone makes a real recovery

no support nor updates will be made for this

is it tested or not yet.

I've tested it

ok thanks, since currently there is no other option to unlock bootloader other than htcdev & lack of RUU sources is too risky to flash custom recovery at this point. so technically it will skip zip package signature check? so we can start working on working custom rom.

You can always flash the stock recovery again ith fastboot
The reason why this recovery is useful is because i dont have to repack system qnd userdata images with ext4. Plus, you can update the userdata partition. Flashing with fastboot erases it

looks nice!

could you maybe share your knowledge about creating this recovery? i'm trying the same for the one s but can't get it packed together correctly...

Do I have to unlock my phone to install this recovery?

yes, there are only 2 ways of installing a recovery.
fastboot and adb

fastboot requires you to unlock in order to "fastboot flash recovery"
and in order to possibly do it through adb you need root and in order to get root at the minute you need to be able to flash an insecure boot image through fastboot, which again, you need to unlock in order to "fastboot flash boot"

Hi blubbers,
There is a guy on general thread who wants to dump a developer phone. It's s4 not tegra but might help.
