[HOW TO] Fix Quickboot as well as reboot into recovery from ROM Manager.

---

For those of you who want to use Quickboot

OR

Have ROM Manager from market and want to "Reboot into recovery" directly, do this

Extract Reboot from Reboot.zip and place it in \androidsdk\tools folder

Then

adb shell
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
exit
adb push reboot /system/bin
adb shell
cd /system/bin/
ls
chmod 755 reboot
chmod 755 /system/bin/reboot


And of course, this can't be done in Android system. You would have to boot to toast's recovery.
Also, i didn't know the command to push from shell, therefore the redundant adb shell. =)

so this takes out the HBoot? and goes straight to Recovery Rom?

unfortunately no,

but it lets you skip the step "Vol up+power" and go straight to stock recovery.

From there you can use the "fake-flash"

awesome...Thanks for sharing, i will try this

I would recommend "rm /system/bin/reboot" before pushing the new one.

Great job! Works like a charm!

I guess TheBiles and I were posting in the wrong sub-forum?
