[Recovery] [07-Jan-2011] RA-passion-v2.2.1
- Thread starter Amon_RA
- Start date
Best recovery by far. Never any issues. Been using this version for months and months. Perfect with flashing, backing up, restoring, and partitioning.
Thanks for the help- I had checked MD5 sums, they were correct. It turns out the problem was that I did not realize I needed an unlocked bootloader; I had used one-click root in the past.
fastboot oem unlock solved my problem.
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is pretty awesome and is available on multiple devices. I use it on crespo, but still use Ra on passion
I have flashed this recovery from the Google Stock ROM (Android 2.3.4) and I haven't needed to make root. Just to unlock OEM bootloader, flash recovery and inmediately flash Cyanogenmod 7.
secure
How secure is your phone after you install that?
i mean, with my stock one if i loose it, the lucky bastard that finds it can't access my data without a `oem unlock` which will wipe out the data.
is there a way to "lock"* it again after i did all the reimage i need to get cyanogen up?
* I read that `oem lock` will screw things up unless you have signed everything in your phone. So i'm thinking more about a amon_ra-backup feature instead of fastboot itself

i tried to flash a ics rom, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1995549 but it failed saying the rom is not sighned properly. Any help?
I do not know if it a problem with the ROM or the recovery. Thought since this recovery is really old, may be the problem is in the recovery. please help/

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.
