Recovery Images

Amon RA's recovery:

I recommend this one. Works great. And looks nice : )        (Roland)

This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source.
The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb 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).
 
Features
  • full ADB access in recovery mode
  • Awesome Care-Bear version! (Blame packetlss for talking me into it )
  • Busybox v1.15.3
  • HW-Key navigation (volume keys + CALL-ANSWER) option
  • Extended menu :
    • Reboot system now :: reboot your phone
    • USB-MS Toggle :: enable/disable USB mass storage (use when the phone is connected to your PC)
    • Backup/Restore (recovery partition not included!)
      • Nand backup :: Make a Nand backup
      • Nand + ext backup :: Make a Nand + ext backup
      • Nand restore :: Restore a Nand backup
      • BART backup :: Make a BART backup (Nand + ext)
      • BART restore :: Restore latest BART backup
    • Flash zip from sdcard :: Flash a zip update file from your sdcard
    • Wipe
      • Wipe data/factory reset :: Wipe /data and /cache
      • Wipe Dalvik-cache :: Wipe Dalvik-cache both on /data and ext
      • Wipe SD:ext partition : Wipe the ext partition on your sdcard
      • Wipe battery stats : Wipe the battery stats in /data
      • Wipe rotate settings : Wipe the sensor settings in /data

    • Other

    • Power off :: Powers off your phone
  • Scripts available from console :
Install

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

via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img to the root of your sdcard

Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)

Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...

adb shell

$su (not required if you have root already)

#mount -a

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
via fastboot + adb -> In case you don't have a custom recovery, so when you get signature fail errors
Code:
adb shell reboot bootloader

fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img

adb shell mount /sdcard

adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img

adb shell reboot
Download

Latest :
Old versions :
Change-log :
v1.6.2
Code:
- Added power off menu item

- New unyaffs binary patched by Koushik Dutta and Packetlss to fix the "losing root"-issue and incorrect file-time after a Nandroid restore

- New dump_image binary (by Brainaid) patched by Packetlss to fix the "bad blocks"- Nandroid restore issue.

(This will not fix old corrupted Nandroid backups! Please make new backups!!)

- New mkyaffs2image binary

- New flash_image binary

- Updated busybox to v1.5.3

- Nandroid menu options will NOT backup or restore recovery, cache, misc, splash1+2 (to avoid issues)

- Fixed wipe option not wiping when ext was not present

- Created carebear versions after the idea of packetlss

- Switched the Nexus logo to a Green Carebear with Nexus One logo (Thanks Montalbert!)

The other on is the  Clockwork Recovery and ROM Manager.

This ROM Manager is a Android front end to the Clockwork Recovery image.
Features of the recovery image include Nandroid backup, adb shell, mount USB storage, advanced update.zip options (ignore asserts and signature checks), and file browser (so you can place your zips in subdirectories and organize them).

1.6.9 Rewritten Nandroid that supports backup and restore status. Bug fixes.
1.6.0 ROM Manager support. Scrollable file browser.
1.4.2 Added mount USB storage and got rid of the scary Android error background! Also disabled signature checks by default when recovery is user initiated.

 

The easiest way, by far, to install the recovery is by downloading ROM Manager off the market. But for those that would prefer a manual installation, you can grab the APK and recovery image below.
