Big Bootstrapped Recovery Update

Fri 17 June 2011

I totally reworked process for start clockwork recovery.

Now it started via hijacking mot_boot_mode.
More stable.
Not needed symlinks for mot_boot_mode.
Not needed shell-scripts for reboot into recovery (rr.sh).
Not needed terminal or adb shell acess.
APK available

How it works.
It hijacked mot_boot_mode executable if /data/.recovery_mode file exist
system at boot will start recovery from
/cdrom/recovery !!!

Code:

# ls -l /cdrom/recovery

Code:

-rwxr-xr-x root     root       483020 2011-06-17 03:52 hijack
-rwxr-xr-x root     root      1422867 2011-06-17 03:52 recovery.zip
-rwxr-xr-x root     root       255908 2011-06-17 03:52 update-binary

Hijacked executable will unpack recovery.zip via update-binary, restart root-hacked adbd.

Don't forget that will be /cdrom/cdrom_vfat.bin REMOVED
If you need it backup it by hands.

If you use my previous recovery you need
or manually remove all files (needed normal lvl of unix knowledge)
or reflash your phone via RsdLite or sbf_flash

known bug:

system can't remount from recovery menu.

Will fixed at 18 june =)

Temorary fix:

Code:

adb shell
umount -l /system
sync

Done

Needed TESTERS
Needed Designer for create logo for apk :rolleyes:

Features request welcome!

Apk in attach.
Mirror here

Oh!
Needed smart guys with C-code experience for develop own Bootmenu.
I do not have time to do everything.

fedyame goes by 'polovinamozga' over there. The only thread I found for Charm is here: Motorola Charm! - xda-developers - It's worth a read, 600 posts or so.

This page is essentially the same as the OP in this thread - xda-developers - View Single Post - Motorola Charm!
except it has the attachment: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...9&d=1318431956
The mirror link at rghost.ru Bootstrap.apk he mentioned above is probably the same file; I didn't check.

Edit: I see the link he called "here" now says "Bootstrap.apk" after I copy/pasted it in the editor, so...yeah.

@fedyame We need a User Guide for Girls here.. How to install the .apk? Anything special? Looks like don't even need root-??
