[Recovery] [07-Jan-2011] RA-passion-v2.2.1
- Thread starter Amon_RA
- Start date
what is the "button pressing order" to boot into the recovery image. i've tried everything i can think of
Directions seem pretty clear. Fastboot should be in the ADB tools folder or can be downloaded separately (don't have a link atm).
nvm solved it, I needed to type
fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.5.3.img
:]
Thanks Amon_Ra. I've already had to do a nandroid restore. It worked absolutely perfectly. I tweeted (@AppCritic) that I thought you were wrong about a2sd but have already reversed that position after playing with the N1 some more. I like the speed and would like to keep swap and ext stuff off this phone. I haven't even installed a task manager, something I couldn't live without on my G1 and myTouch. There is just about ZERO lag on this phone without any mods so why mess with a good thing? Thanks again.
do you have the recovery image saved in the fastboot folder on your computer and not the memory card on your nexus?
stick the img in the Tools directory on your PC.
so in here:
AndroidSDK/Tools
then fastboot will be able to "find it"
took me a bit to figure this out also

Amon_RA said:Strange... Unfortunately I don't have my Nexus yet so I can't test it.
Did you unlock the bootloader already?
Try posting in the Nexus forum, maybe other people ran into the same problem..

What am i doing wrong?
power off your phone
hold the trackball down and press the power button once (keep holding the trackball)
select bootloader and press power button
select recovery using volume keys and the power button to select
That is exactly what i have been doing but phone remains with coloured Nexus X and unlocked padlock
Yes it is in the same folder, also when I try SU it locks up like when I try to run nexus torch, I get the force close saying " activity SU request(in application superuser permissions) not responding

9This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source with a lot of things added by me. The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu.
This recovery is for the HTC Nexus One only, if you have a :
- HTC Dream/G1 you should go here.
- HTC Magic/MT3G you should go here.
- HTC Hero you should go here.
- HTC Sprint Hero you should go here.
- HTC Eris you should go here.
- HTC Tattoo you should go here.
Important notes
- Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!
You can do this by doing :- "cat /tmp/recovery.log" OR "cat /cache/recovery/log" right after you had the issue.
- Use the "move log to sd" option in the "others" menu right after you had the issue. This will move the log to /sdcard/recovery.log so you can easily open it with a text editor.
