Root somehow lost recovery...

[aequitas3]

i dunno how exactly this happened, but somehow i lost the recovery BH_MAN made...here's what i did before i lost it...

I switched over to Galaxy r8 to adb pull /system to copy the files to my computer. then i switched back to WARHEADS. after that, i then adb pushed contacts.apk, phone.apk, and googlecontactsprovider.apk (after correctly renamed for the first two, the third one cuz i read in the forums that BH_MAN thought it was needed for contacts and phone to work correctly w/o f/c's...) and then reseted the phone, via recovery, and that's when i noticed it was gone... i thought that flashing the recovery.tar would fix it, but after putting my phone into recovery mode (vol down + call + end) it appears that didn't help...

so now what?

Recovery / Kernel are build specific... That's why you lost recovery.

Flash back to a build with Recovery / Kernel.

 

[aequitas3]

okay thanks

 

[aequitas3]

oh one more thing that i completely forgot to mention. when i flashed back to WARHEADS, i flashed using the custom .tar i made with dd, which included system, user data, and kernel...dunno if that makes any difference...sorry for letting this slip my mind...

Did you get the galaxy dialer and contacts working? I tied installing them with Warheads and I got the same thing BH_MAN got with not being able to answer calls.
