Does the ROM you're using not have a power menu option to let you reboot to recovery? Most roms do, so that you don't always have to go to bootloader to get to recovery. If not, Quick Boot in the market will also allow you to go to recovery with going to bootloader first. (There are other ways, as well)

At papaslacker,
You're getting a 'no flash_image' error?
There is a PC36img of flash_image posted in this thread,...long ago. I think it was posted by tiffany84 or vanessaem. You could get flash_image that way.

Edit: papaslacker, just noticed your issue was from Jan 9th. Lol sure you're fixed up by now.

Good luck.

Hello.

Amon-RA
Can You help me to create recovery for my phone Hero H7300 (HD7 Pro) MTK6573 based on your mod?
I`ve try to use some of yours images and join them with my kernel - it seems work, but Power button doesn`t work because in your mod treckball used.
Volume buttons work well.
Thanks in advance!

If you're trying to port, why not use a base where the power button is used for select? (such as this one, for example)

sorry - which one? from this topic? thanks - I`ll try to

ps - well it works!!

but another problem with ext2.
Our kernel has no ext2 support, but we`ve solved this by adding ext2.ko modul in system/lib/modules and using command INSMOD in init.rc - and the phone can use second partition for app2sd or link2sd and other.
Also from recovery it makes correct copy of ext2 to ext.tar archive and restore it as well.
But then I try to mount sd-ext via recovery menu - there is an error:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such device)

But it successfully mounts via ADB command "mount /sd-ext"

- what is wrong?

Look at recovery.rc and make sure you have added the appropriate partition information there as well. If you don't have recovery.rc, you may need to create one so the init know what partitions are made and mounted on recovery. This is my suggestion but it may not be the final solution. Recovery is tricky a bit...

I have had a problem for a while now. When I restore backups the wallpaper/status bar will show but the lockring/bar will not show. This leads to me to not be able to unlock the phone. I have tried everything I can think of. I have been using twrp but I would love to be able to use amon ra once again.

Your issue doesn't sound recovery-related to me. Are you partitioned, and have you been backing up and restoring the EXT partition?

P.S. I assume you're using the TWRP 1.x series, and not 2.x, right?

My sd is partitioned, but I actually haven't backed up the ext. I'll flash back to amon and give it a shot. I am using twrp 1.x series at the moment.

Hails guys I was trying to make a back up when puff

oops something went wrong

I took my recovery.log so I wanna share this whilling for some help.

Starting recovery on Fri Jun 15 21:06:51 2012
can't open /dev/tty0: No such file or directory
framebuffer: fd 3 (480 x 800)

Fixing execute permissions for /cache
I:Set boot command "boot-recovery"
Command: "/sbin/recovery

No file or directory don't remember messing with it
Thanks

If you can get to your sd card, download smelkus 4.3 and put it on sdcard, go to boot loader and reflash the 4.3 recovery from hboot
