Root Two questions on recovery and cm6

broken1i · Aug 31, 2010

Two questions.

Is there a guide on upgrading the recovery file. I'm running RA-evo-v1.7.0.2 right now?

Also, I've flashed to cm6 and the new snap kernel. Everytime my evo reboots I have to clear the caches and reflash the kernel to get it working. Is there a solution for this?

You could download Rom Manager from the market...and upgrade that way. Also the app is amazing.

From XDA, this is the method I used:

Code:

Copy recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app or launch adb
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)

I actually used the terminal emulator app to do this... On the first try it gave me a space error and deleted my old recovery. Second try, same method, worked like a charm.

Thanks guys, I'll update you on my status.

Edit: you guys are awesome! I updated my recovery using the terminal app. I'm also going to use the new snap 8.2 kernel

Hey I'm running 875 stable and loving it. 1350mV@1.19Ghz, I also have setcpu set to max 1190 MHz min 245 with other profiles to conserve energy.

I really like CM6, but up to now (for me), CM6 with or without Snap has been a battery vampire. How's your battery life with that combo and setup?

The battery is quite good so far. Today's the first day I've put it to the test. Unplugged since 9:30 am and it is now 2:30 so 5 hours so far with moderate use and its at 80%. Save to say its been holding up well.

As much as I love CM6 and the snaps I wasn't getting good battery life with the latest CM6 ROM and 8.2nhavs800. Yes my phone loves being UV. So I went with Fresh 3.2 and netarchys-toast Kernel 4.1.9 so far 15hrs unplugged with almost 4hrs of use with some tether and heavy web browsing and I'm @ 20%.

I must agree that cm6 cripples the battery. The consensus is that snap 7.4 was the most stable kernel.
