[MOD] [Update:5/5/2011] BootMenu - Recovery, 2nd Init , v0.5.1

[chaihg]

Great job. Now the only thing left will be to have something to enable putting sbf file on sd card and flash it directly without a pc

Curious, just in case anyone has already tried and can give an answer: when installed, is outer persistent after you flash a sbf? Or is it overwritten by the sbf? Does anyone know? (i mean, afaik /pds isn't restored with sbf, mess with it and you get a brick! )

The root folder is only for temporary storage, to give it right permissions to run the script, after that it goes into the system folder and probably somewhere else to run that on the boot. But nothing goes into pds folder.
And yes, I reflashed with sbf and everything worked fine again.

Edit:
bootmenu file in /sbin
rootsh in /
mount_ext3.sh in /system/bin
maybe something else?

Usually I restore a sbf when my defy it's so screwed it won't enter the recovery, so no way I could flash a "sbf on sdcard (or some form derived from an sbf)" from there. So, although it is possible (not directly as sbf, but in a treated form yes), I don't see it very useful.

Sorry to say, but nope, this is not hardcoded in to rom or is not replaced in place of original recovery as the bootloader is still locked. And installing a sbf update is like replacing everything on the phone with the contents from sbf. So it wont work if you reflash the sbf, unless it is included in the mod or rom you installed. Some developers have just contacted me and said that they are going to include this on their rom. So future defy roms are going to be more safe

@ksubedi Could you request intohim to post the bootmenu sources on GitHub? Would be interesting for the community.

This one should be made sticky, it's a great improvement for development.

Have you noticed that it works if you connect your off phone to power up ? But not while starting stock recovery.
It is so good mod, I remember time when I have flashed phone 20 times in one day because I want to edit framework-res.apk. Now only backup. Thank people who did this

Not SBF files, use RSD Lite for that, but you can use recovery included on this to flash .zip format ROM's and updates.

 

[psicodelico]

In this update is used openrecovery or clockwork?

its clockworkmod recovery, but its called openrecovery as its not officially supported by clockworkmod

 

[psicodelico]

I didnt know that .

P.S. ADB is working.

 

[kirpeace]

if i flash other sbf will it remove this custom recovery?

Yeah! If you flash other sbf you need to re-install this tool.

We are waiting for 2nd-boot! And it makes it possible to create AOSP and CM7!

 

[adlx.xda]

ADB run as root at startup after mount system.
This is ADB.zip for install from recovery.
Making only for defy

#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/busybox killall usbd
/system/bin/busybox mount -o rw,remount /
rm /sbin/adbd
cp /system/bin/adbd /sbin/adbd
/system/bin/busybox mount -o ro,remount /
/system/bin/busybox killall usbd
setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1
echo "msc_adb" > /dev/usb_device_mode

yeah we are all waiting for that, in the mean time, it's possible to get CM7/ASOP with just 2nd-init.

We are waiting for 2nd-boot! And it makes it possible to create AOSP and CM7!

But now that 2nd-init is here how long will it take to create CM7 for the Defy?
Is the 2nd-init now a way to load unsigned kernerl modules after the original kernel?
