Very strange, I just wiped back to 1.04 then went through the steps above and mine reboots to clockwork recovery!

[rferrett]

What, boots back to the new Clockwork recovery? With actual stuff on the screen and everyfink?

[PaulOBrien]

Yeah, exactly!

Confused...

That has got to be good news mind.... surely?

Tried to flash r2, but I'm getting this:

louis@quark:~/Temp/Downloads/recovery-r2$ adb shell /data/local/flash_image recovery /data/local/recovery.img
header is the same, not flashing recovery

Tried just installing the updated APK, but rebooting still just reloads Android OS. Tried with USB connected and disconnected just in case that was affecting it.

Yes, it is great news, and stop calling me Shirley!

[PaulOBrien]

VERY strange indeed!

I'll revert to stock again tomorrow and try again, but I already did that once! Confused!

Paul,

Okay. I'll leave it for now. I don't really want to revert my Vega back to stock 1.04 as I need it for the work commute tomorrow and can't be bothered to reinstall all the apps.

I'll keep an eye on this thread for any updates.

Have a good evening.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm there? Full MCR coming soon? or are you just teasing us! Hehe!

flashed 1.04 again and ran the recovery flashing procedure
this time it worked and booted to ClockworkMod


i think it must be a problem if we already flashed the earlier r1 image
perhaps it might save wiping again if we just reflashed the stock recovery image before r2 ?

Cool. Thanks for working that out. As I said, I'll have to wait until tomorrow as I'm lazy and can't be bothered to reinstall all my apps right now!

[PaulOBrien]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Koush has forked my device profile into the cyanogenmod repository, so the recovery image should be available in ROM Manager shortly!

you could always try pushing/flashing the stock recovery.img file from inside the 1.04 archive

Not sure why that would be the case!

did anything change in the recovery.img from r1 to r2?

Edited by Pyr0x64, 29 November 2010 - 09:28 PM.

[PaulOBrien]

No, I just fixed up the file structure in the archive (and flash_image was missing in r1 I think?)

Strange. "flash_image" was included in r1, but just in a different folder than "recovery.img".

So, is it worth me wiping back to stock 1.04, or could it be something else that is causing my issues.

When I load the "Recovery" app, I get the "please wait" message and then my Vega reboots. I get the momentary appearance of "ANDROID" in a fixed-width terminal font, then the Advent logo appears, then Android OS loads.

Nothing I'm missing here?
