[CWM] Recovery Port from Connect (only GB)

[Dannyman3819]

This is a "port" from the ms840 (Connect)

I got the .img file from koush's rom manager website and changed the partion tables and the names from ms840 to ls840.

I didn't build this from source Im just sharing what I did.
Here is the link ClockworkMod ROM Manager - Recoveries

So what works:
Backing up data, system, boot, android_secure, cache, recovery, also the .md5
Installing .zips (You have to use the volume keys to scroll down to yes)
Restoring backups

What I dont know works:


What doesnt work:
Recovery cant exit itself
Cant boot into it from start
Booting into recovery with charger in


Download

Install:
place in current directory
adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb shell
su
dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
then exit and unplug phone
Append .bak to /system/etc/install_recovery.sh and /system/recovery_from_boot.p
Go to term emulator(on phone) and type
su
reboot recovery

enjoy
Also if Im stepping on any toes tell me and i will take this down

I will not be updating this because I didn't build this from source Im just sharing what I did.

What will never work:
Recovery cant exit itself

Booting into it more than once without re-flashing

Install:
unzip file and place in current directory
adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb shell
su
dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
then exit and unplug phone go to term emulator(on phone) and type
su
reboot recovery

OR

Put the recovery.img on your sdcard
Then run the attached script (recovery.txt) with su permissions(i used smanager and created a widget and ran the script when ever i want to go into recovery)

enjoy

Not trying to be a downer here, but porting recoveries from other devices to this phone led to hard-brick. Are you sure this is safe before I flash this? I bought this phone off-contract so I'm trying not to damage it unless I'm the one who causes the brick.


EDIT: Also, what makes it different from PP since we both have almost the same problems? Not being rude, just seeing if we could work together to fix the reboot issue..

Ok i will keep that in mind. Ya I flashed it and it works fine. I think the only difference between this and PP is that mine backups everything and makes a md5 sum but I dont know if it will restore.

Well you dont have to but on my phone it wont boot into the recovery more than once. I put a update.img on my sdcard then rebooted into recovery twice, the second time it booted into the factory update screen. Same thing happens to me on project panda.

Re: [CWM] Recovery Port from Connect

Because you forgot to delete install_recovery.sh, and recover_from_boot.p

Cool. I'll see if I can check out the source files from this for Panda.
