upgrade the recovery.img only?

[smasraum]

I've got JF1.42 recovery.img, and I'm running CM3.3.4, the latest radio (2.22.19.26I) and Hard SPL.

I think I'm going to try the Rogers build, and for that I need to upgrade the Recovery.img to the 1.43 version and the SPL to the 1.33 version.

When I upgrade the recovery version, I believe it's the same process as upgrading the ROM, but do I need to wipe or anything else special before or after I upgrade the recovery.img?

If I want to go from CM3.3.4 to the Rogers image, I assume that I should upgrade in this order, recovery, then SPL, and finally the new image (all using the usual "update.zip"/alt-l/alt-s procedure) When should I wipe, or does it matter?

Thanks

"upgrading" the recovery image is the same as installing it all over again... i.e.:

• mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
• rm -f /system/recovery.img
• flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_testkeys.img

Excellent info, thanks, why the different name at the end?

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_testkeys.img

anybody have the latest recovery image (JF 1.43) uploaded somewhere?

xda seems to be down right now.

btw how important is it to have the latest version. i had recently flashed the lates radio, spl and rogers custom rom. everything is working fine right now.

i just noticed that i was still running JF 1.41 recovery and luckily i didn't "brick" when i updated the Radio and SPL last night.

cool thanks.. sorry for the noobish question but do i simply rename this to "update" and flash as usual?

will it affect anything or the current rom i have flashed?

You can, or you can "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
