NEW ! Amon RA Recovery v1.6.2 for the g1/dream(12/13)

[simms22]

New Amon RA recovery for the g1/dream is out !
taken fro amon ras xda page.... ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...51&postcount=1 )

" This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source.
The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using the console by accessing all features directly from the menu.

Use the trackball (up+down) to navigate through the menu, press the trackball to select items.
You can also use the volume keys (vol-up + vol-down) to navigate, and the CALL-ANSWER key to select items (in case your trackball is broken).

DO NOT USE the recovery command to return back from console to recovery! Use the reboot command instead! Some scripts (like nandroid) will not work properly if you do so!

Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!

CHANGE LOG
- Changed the item select key to CALL ANSWER-key instead of HOME-key. The HOME-key was conflicting other operations.
- Added a "Nandroid restore no recovery" option which allows you to restore a nandroid-backup without recovery (handy when you don't want to overwrite your current recovery with an old nandroid backup recovery)
- Added "Other" sub-menu :
- Moved "fix apk uid mismatches"-item from main menu to "Other" sub-menu.
- Added "Move apps+dalv to SD"-item.
- Added "Move recovery.log to SD"-item (Check this log if you want to see what is going wrong).
- Fixed the Nandroid restore menu; an error message is now displayed when no nandroid backup or device-id was found (instead of showing an empty menu).
- Removed flash submenu and "Apply sdcard:update.zip" item, because we already have "Apply sdcard:choose zip".
- Removed "Wipe cache partition" item, wipe cache is already included in the "Wipe data/factory reset" item.
- Changed UMS-toggle enable behaviour; you can not access the menu while UMS is enabled (avoid mount issues).
- Changed some menu-item labels to make the options more clear.
- Fixed UMS-toggle disable behaviour; files are now refreshed in the menu (sdcard is unmounted).
- Updated the busybox binary to 1.15.2 which has fixes for ash and hush (`trap` handling), dd (fixed handling of I/O errors), find (fix for -follow and symlinks), pidof (corrected recognition of kernel thread names), sed (SEGV), uniq (memory leak), line editing (Ctrl-D works again), build system.
- The busybox binary was :
- statically linked against uclibc (0.9.30)
- configured to preferentially execute busybox applets
- busybox --install -s installs links into /data/local/bin (JF patch)
- mount looks for loop devices at /dev/block/loop (JF patch)
- modprobe and family look for modules in /system/modules (JF patch)
- fixed an issue with vi where it would save a file as just a blank file (JF patch)
- Compiled new kernel : RA-recovery-v1.0:
- increased CONFIG_MSM_CPU_FREQ_ONDEMAND_MIN to 384000
- enabled "Support for large block devices and files" to fix ext4 issues
- removed Multimedia device drivers as they are not needed in recovery mode
- removed Network File Systems as I don't see the real need for that in recovery mode
- applied mtd6 kernel patch from Cyanogen so splash1 and splash2 screens can be backed-up with nandroid.
- added all modules to /lib/modules in ramdisk
- Updated sdparted script to v0.6

There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most (I probably forgot a few).

via a simple reboot -> Requires Cyanogen's ROM (other ROMs will probably work too, check init.rc where to put the recovery.img)

Code:
Rename recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img to recovery.img
Copy recovery.img to /data
Reboot fully (the recovery will be flashed automatically)
Reboot to recoveryvia adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery

Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.imgvia console -> Requires root

yes he has !
this is android and open-source at its best

[Hands0n]

I have to say that it is the likes of Amon Ra and Cynogen that have inspired me to buy a G1 at this late stage in the game.

But it is nothing like as slick where a lot of other Android handsets are concerned, moreso the newer ones (I tend to cite the Samsung Galaxy i7500 as an example of a poor experience for those that want similar to rooted G1 owners).

[DaYuMu6ft7]

So XDA is down once again eh!

Grrrr
