[UPDATED 7/26 - v1.4] Pimped out recovery image with new features

[cyanogen]

I did some work with JF's recovery image, merged stuff from AOSP 1.5r3, patches from others, and added some of my own stuff.

This recovery image contains:

* Nandroid 2.2 with RESTORE!
* E2FSProgs with ext4 support
* GNU Parted (command line version)
* FSCK for ext filesystems from the menu
* Various scripts, upgrade_fs (convert to ext3), fix_permissions (set app and data permissions to what packages.xml expects)
* Kernel from CyanogenMod-3.9

Download image (right-click, save as): http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/cm-recovery-1.4.img
MD5Sum: f5135a878c705215f4012786e4261cfe

To install image: copy it to your sdcard and run:

flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img

If you have problems with a "no space on device" error, try using fastboot and erasing first:

fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img

Changes in 1.4:
* Flash ANY .zip from your SD - by krut0n
* New color scheme and images (background from a random wallpaper site, if it's yours let me know)
* Fixes from Donut
* Updated nandroid-mobile.sh w/ network support from pensive
* Updated GNU Parted (ext4 support, etc)

Changes in 1.3.1:
* Fix unyaffs so it preserves setuid permissions

Changes in 1.3:
* Nandroid restore capability
* Prompt before all operations that erase data
* Updated e2fsprogs
* Updated BusyBox
* Included GNU Parted (command line version)
* Removed apps-to-sd from the menu, script is still available
* 2.6.29 kernel with ext4 support
* Enable/disable USB storage (ums_enable, ums_disable)

Changes in 1.2:
* Prompt before wiping data
* Rename fix_permissions.sh to fix_permissions

Changes in 1.1:
* Fixed the framebuffer console (ALT+X).

TODO items/ideas for a future release:
* Choose which backup image set to restore
* Enable/disable UMS from the menu
* "Super Wipe" option which wipes DATA: as well as ext SD partition

nice, flashing now.

One thing I'd like to see is maybe a way to flash more than just update.zip - even if it's just being able to flash update.zip, update2.zip, etc.. idealy, Alt-S would scan your SD card for any files that start with "update"For instance, I'm stuck like chuck on the hero theme right now, so whenever I update my ROM, I have to restart and then reflash the theme. couldjust name them update-romname.zip and update-themename.zip

Do it in terminal. It is the same as JF recovery. Home and Power.
