Vache, I am using latest 1.0 version on my Acer Liquid MT (1.100.24).

When trying to recover a backup, recovery tells me I have to do this by using ADB and executing "mobilerecovery..." (or so).
Whats wrong?

I made a backup yesterday BEFORE flashing a new kernel... so only difference in the system is the kernel.

Stock 1.100.24 Kernel was flash by your 1 GHz kernel...

I'm sorry but I've advice you..
Now put out SD and put it in an sdcard reader and try to rescue your file with some rescue software .. Of course you should change SD because it's at the end of his life :/ And always make backup of yours important stuff.. Always from phone to PC and from PC to external hard disk..

Yes add the same issue some days ago,

onto PC, you can find your files renamed in FILE<something><number> into LOST.DIR or somewhere else I didn't remember !

You just need to rename then accordingly the file type of each files ( I did it automatically under linux with a tricky bash command)

Cheers,
Stéph.

Yes but  In my case files were not corrupted and just moved&renamed; so it was faster (for me I concede) to script it


I'm already using sandisk recovery tool (but not a free tool)  for my photography hobby.

Cheers,
Stéph.

So everything's fine again
Data from SD was lost... seems something has overwritten something. Before 0,5 GB was free on the card, after the issue the card was nearly completely empty. Rescue software found only some pics, the LOST.DIR was empty...

But, I bought this Class6 card 3 weeks ago - before I had a 16 GB Class2 which I used in my S100 too... the 16 GB card was a backup for me (I've completely forgotten...) So only a few pics I shoot the last few weeks are missing *phewww*

I've now flashed 1.100.24 over it now to have original Kernel.

Is it normal, that AmonRA refuses to work when battery is low?

Yes, it is.
For security reasons : to be sure it will be able to complete tasks.

- Added support for /system/flex partition (mount/wipe)

What exactly is located under /system/flex?
What are the benefits of wiping that dir?

1. Some files for FOTA and simlock, depends on your phone. It"s quite useless. But it may be use for other things (/system/flex is around 25Mo)
2. See 1

Hi,

I had to force partition mounting to have the recovery working, so actually the "mount" menu is quite useless.

[TechnoLover]

I tried to flash the recovery on top of 1.100.36 (yes, it's really 36, it's an ota update for 35).

So I went to fastboot and flashed the recovery 1.0.1, everything seems to be fine

fastboot: processing commands
fastboot: download:00437000
fastboot: flash:recovery
writing 4419584 bytes to 'recovery'
partition 'recovery' updated

then I reboot my phone as usual, then I boot into recovery (adb or quick boot) and I just see the triangle of the normal recovery.

So I did the following:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot -i 0x0502 boot recoo.img

I created a nandroid of my normal phone and then i flashed a rom, in this case MiUI 1.4.15.

Once booted I returned to bootloader mode and flashed the recovery again

fastboot: processing commands
fastboot: download:00437000
fastboot: flash:recovery
writing 4419584 bytes to 'recovery'
partition 'recovery' updated

Then in MiUI i rebooted via ADB to recovery, everything's ok recovery is flashed on top of the original.

Then I restored my nandroid of original acer 1.100.36 bin (you have to rename the folder "console=null" to your IMEI, that's what I did) and what happened? My Custom-Recovery past away

Be careful when yoo flash a bin from Acer or an Update, it can happen that your recovery pasts away and you're not able to flash a new one, except you boot into the recovery, flash a rom and then flash recovery and use the rom

--------


Solution:

Delete/Rename "/system/recovery-from-boot.p", that's a backup of the original recovery. When you need the original back, just rename it back to the original filename and reboot

i have installed Recovery MT - 2.0 (im sorry i'm not sure this is the same as AmonRa), but now whenever i try to reboot to recovery the phone freezes on the acer logo. i reboot using quickboot, i had AmonRa 0.6 previously.

it is working now, i needed to be on the latest bin for this to work.
