Great work Jerry, tested and works well on my newer screen. Just an FYI that Flash GUI expects the filename to contain recovery in all lower case letters and will not work otherwise. Have to either rename the file or use flash_image from the terminal.

 

When I downloaded, I got a 4 MB file with a .txt extention: Download CWM-Green-Recovery-04172012.txt

Is this correct?

(FYI: I always have to click the "try again" button on Mediafire when I attempt to download on my phone: the first click never initiates a download)

 

Runs great on my first gen V (but you already knew that ) but I have three questions.
1) I noticed you gave it a BACKside style version number, does that mean we should look forward to regular updates?
2) If so, will the BACKside updater handle that as well? That would be a very nice feature.
3) I'm starting to itch, is there anything that I can do about that green? (Like grab the source and compile my own or something like that?)

::Edit:: What's the MD5 for this?

 

rename it to .img, then it should flash just fine.

 

That worked. Thanks!

 

You're welcome.

 

You blow my mind sometimes, Jerry! Awesome job as always!

 

Link is Temporarily unavailable, was gonna try with my optimus m, I'm sure I'll get fastboot if I flash it, but I'm gonna try anyways....there is GNM recovery that is universal with a lot of the optimus phones....so who knows if it does or not

 

Your recovery actually boots on the Optimus M!! but the buttons aren't mapped correctly, all I can do is press Volume Down to go up....Menu button goes back, Home button goes back...Back button does nothing, search button does nothing, Camera button does nothing, Volume Up does nothing, Power button does what it's supposed to (change to the ROM Manager logo and hide menu).

 

If I already flashed the radio update would I be good to install this?

 

thanks for this awesome recovery!!!!!!

 

Brilliant recovery, amazing work as always JerryScript.

 

Yes I use BobZhome's kernel for all my ported ROMs.
Here:

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ su#su
# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00500000 00020000 "boot"
mtd1: 04340000 00020000 "cache"
mtd2: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"

I'm actually on stock right now, I was testing a new root method that someone else made, it failed, but hey you don't need to be rooted to run that command

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ cat proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00500000 00020000 "boot"
mtd1: 04340000 00020000 "cache"
mtd2: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd3: 00140000 00020000 "splash"
mtd4: 00700000 00020000 "FOTA_STO"
mtd5: 0bd00000 00020000 "system"
mtd6: 0c900000 00020000 "userdata"
mtd7: 00080000 00020000 "misc"
mtd8: 00180000 00020000 "persist"

I have used this recovery to make a backup, flash the backup, flash an update, flash a backup that was made from another recovery, flash a ROM that was not signed with signature verification turned off, and used this recovery with the new BACKside updater v3.2 with auto installer to install a ROM (flashed back to an older ROM). Everything worked flawlessly.
Will work on the partitioning option,mount SD card option, and anything else I forgot to checkout next.

 

I've found a problem with the recovery. I was trying to flash tdm's AOKP alpha 8, and got the "assert failed getprop ro.product.device" error. I tried twice, toggling assert both times, same error. Tried CM9 alpha 8 and got the same result. Both had matching md5's so the downloads were okay. Flashed bobz back on it, the AOKP flashed fine. Just thought you'd want to know.

 

After playing with AOKP for about an hour, I went to restore my nandroid but it failed with an error about system img not found. I was able to restore my nandroid of 0401, use the Backside updater to flash your recovery again, then I was able to restore my nandroid of 0417, and all is good. Again, just felt this information would be useful to you.

 

Open up the zip and go to /META-INF/com/(bottom folder)/(bottom folder)/ updater-script and open the updater-script with notepad
Delete the line near the beginning that says "assert.....................;" delete all in the quotes including the ";"

"..." stands for whatever it says xD

 

I'd found that solution as well, it was just easier for me to switch recoveries and back.
