Root 985hPaKicK 2nd init recovery

I would encourage you to learn how to open the zip file and look at the install script before you flash anything

they are found in

META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

some scripts are harmless, and they will only mount the system partition and copy a few files

some of them format your partitions or over write them with files, and can kill your phone

Alright, will do that from now on.

I usually do check (when I did on my older phone), unless sometimes if it was made specifically for the phone by a dev, but mostly I'll check and replace things I don't like and/or add apks. So... I'll remember to always check scripts.

Not to derail the thread, but I just wanted to ad that running the OS from the SD is a perfectly viable option should it be made able to work. This is done quite often for Nooks; people install CM on an SD, then boot the SD instead of the internal memory. They do this so they can reboot without the SD and have a fully functional, untouched Nook to use as an E-reader.

Android runs fine from the SD.

question would it be safe to flash the beats auido from da playstore?

 

[ninjasinabag]

0.0 no! Chrisjohn, we still don't know how far recovery will run on the motion, it will be safer flashing beats from pimp my rom.

if not a sticky how about a grateful bump.....

 

[plasticarmyman]

Yeah why is this not stickied?

Even though its slightly glitchy, this recovery is fantastic. I bricked my motion a n hour ago, and had to use KDZ to recover it via the guide. I rerooted and reinstalled 2nd init, and restored. All good. I dont know why i was worried.

This thread definitely needs to be a sticky; it would be a shame to let it die because of communication breakdown.

No just report it to a mod and say this deserves a sticky and give your reasons

 

[snake557]

what ever it takes it should be stickyed.

 

[Sepero]

Some of you know that I had a confrontation with cretinoid before he was banned from the forum. I just want to say that is not the reason I'm making this post. I do not think this thread is deserving of a sticky, because it only appeals to very few (knowledgeable) individuals on the forum. The kind of people who are smart enough to bookmark it, or easliy find it in a search without a great deal of effort.

I do appreciate this thread and the development will definitely carry on. I'd just personally rather not see the forum filled with "elite" stickies that only apply to a small number of specialized people. IMO, stickies are meant to be general and apply to most users. If people want to get the lte2recovery apk, it will also be available on more general threads and guides.

For what it's worth- my 2cents

 

[plasticarmyman]

This is not for intelligent people...its an apk to install that gives us recovery....simple and easy...custom recovery deserves a sticky. (<period)

 

[morgankslade]

I did everything from restoring to out the box, to rooting, backing up stock, debloat, backup, rename backup, and restored...flawlessly.

Thankyou
