there's one way to restore 1.6, flash with acer 1.6 donut rom, the baseband is restored.
Then fastboot superboot and recovery of 1.6
enter recovery and perform restore

Yes, i knew that, but i was referring to do a restore without reflashing standard 1.6 rom

[drigerott]

only acer tool che change baseland...

than if you have eclair... to restor an 1.6 rom you must flash donut .BIN before restore with nandroid..

you can restore back to 1.6 but nothing will work, to change the baseband you need to downgrade the firmware using the acer tool, its not recommended that you backup from 2.1 to 1.6 can cause hardware issues.... but good luck

STICKY PLEASE!!!!

I was asked to include bart script in recovery.

That's done but it won't be included in next release (script will be present but not included in menu).

Next release will include :
- Recovery will be 1.6 AND 2.1 compatible.
- modified nandroid so it can backup ext partition on sdcard (used with apps2sd). So ext2 on sdcard will be backed up and restored too.
- Busybox will be updated to 1.15.3.

I still have to test before releasing. Will continue on monday.

Hard work as I am still unable to recompile the recovery menu and have to hexedit files !

I tested all fonctions provided in the recovery main menu and they all work in reco 0.2

[bellanano]

malez, when you say, 1.6 and 2.1 compliant, you intend that i can perform a restore from an old backup made with lickonn recovery too?

Yes you can.  But don't frorget that a specific system may not work if you have not the good baseband.

Ok, so if i want to restore 1.6 backup from a 2.1 system, i always need to reflash acer rom with Acer download tool.
Thanks for your job!

yes you have to downgrade the baseband with acer tool first. Then reinstall my recovery and restore.

My rom info is as below image. It's rooted.
After flashing the recovery image and reboot, I still cannot see the recovery menu. Just boot like usual.
Could you tell me the details about "enable ums" and get recovery log? thanks.

To be sure you are trying to boot into recovery, boot in normal mode, plug your phone to computer, and type in a shell "adb reboot recovery". You can also install quickboot from market and you will be able to boot in any mode without your computer.

If you are sure that you made the good thing to enter recovery mode, your can try an alternate img file i will send you by PM. Tell me if it works.
I don't know AAP_FET rom. In what country do you live ?

[m4ss]

Works perfectly the apps2sd ?
How much at max can we "enlarge" our free space with sd ? (ext2 -> max 512mb??!)
Can we use this apps2sd also with android 1.6 altought 2.1 ?

Sorry for these question, but I need to know that.

Bye

Thanks for your malezRecovery_0.2_dep1.img. My country is Taiwan.
No matter I use "adb reboot recovery" or "quickboot", it's just boot normally.
Do you have other idea?

So your phones must have some specific things I don't know. In this thread http://android.modac...-recovery-mode/ Umka said he finaly managed to flash recovery after an update via acerTool. Maybe you can try. Actually you can't install any recovery I thing. I will pm you the original img file to see if you can enter recovery with it.

[goa200]

thanks for the update malez.
however i get error running nandroidbackup from the recovery but it works if i run it from the shell.
