ClockWorkMod-based Recovery v 5.0.2.8

That recovery is aimed to be an official representation of actual Liquid Mt CM community status (maybe kind Koush would look forward to support us).

I don't know actual changelog, maybe it is somewhere over clockworkmod.com.

Install guide as for Vache' 3.0:

Quote

Activate Debug USB on your phone.
Plug your phone to your computer with your USB cable.
Unzip the "RecoveryMT-3.0" folder from the zip file.
Launch "install_recovery.cmd".

Thx Vache for that installation script :]

Cool

EDIT#
Its a lot slower then 4.0.0.8 and it still doesn't backup the SD-EXT

On a side note RecoveryManager works really well with Acer Liquid Mt to easily change between Recovery's.

i don't think sd-ext is actually mounted in the system with Link2SD. might have to add that in yourself to the mountscript

[Lens_flare]

If I knew on what actual mmcblk EXT is and how to investigate that..

Good job!

[astuermer]

Good work
Did a backup now - 535 MB in size. Looks good!

Anyone tested recovery working properly?

[Lens_flare]

Btw, seems new backups are different with previous ones, but from previous - are compatible
Just to warn you..

[TechnoLover]

sd-ext should be on mmcblk0p2

[Don Tsnm]

The install work perfectly (on win 7 x64).

The backup is working very nice and is more informative, it show a detailed process. But it is a bit slowly  

[VJftw]

I'm pretty sure that the 2nd part of the sd card is being mounted to /data/sdext2. type df into terminal and you'll see what i mean . so we can manually backup by copying over from there..

I've tried making a symlink via terminal, but it hasn't gone well.

ln -s /sd-ext /data/sdext2

gives me 'link failed File Exists' :s

EDIT:

Managed to create a link using Root Explorer.
1. long click on the sdext2 folder inside /data and select Create link to this folder.
2. go to the root of the phone, paste it there.
3. delete the original sd-ext folder that's empty.
4. rename sdext2 to sd-ext.

damn. nevermind backing up via cwm still didn't work.

Hi metal ones
I'm just registered here, just to make cyanogen guys know that there is one other pending user, regard to the job of Vache and You Lens-Flare, and  the cool sorrodje guy in the french ubuntu forum who held my hand in mind, so that I've just reached flashing recoveryMT3.0 (based on cmw 4.0.0.8, if I understand something).
Now I saw it was "so easy" (I wanted 100% linux pathway), I'm just wandering if it's worth flashing to this new state-of-the-[he]art V5.0. Maybe I should find the changelogs from stock cwm releases between 4.0.0.8 and 5.0.2.8?
And (maybe I abuse?) if the root privilege I got since some hours is the same thing as installing superuser?

Glad I found such enthusiasts. There seem to be girls around too, cool.

Bye-bye

[liqMT]

erm, there seem the sources/changelogs are undisclosed. Still stucked wandering what are the diffs between superuser, z4root, unrevoked, supernandroot and maybe other stuff when i thought installing a CWM recovery would root the phone...

[liqMT]

Sorry, I didn't see the github link to sources, then my firefox 11 crashed when I visit. fixed with ff12beta.

Now I've seen the nikolas' github repo, I have the very question that comes back to my mind: why do I am still feeling there's ostracism against Acer from cyanogen? Where could I read something about that?

Thank you

[TechnoLover]

fixed sd-ext recovery

if you get an error on backup run this command in shell when in recovery mode

e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

or

e2fsck -y /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

  

first one lets you choose if you want to fix errors, second one fixes every error

Download: http://code.google.c...&q=#makechanges

it crashes your second partition, do NOT use it.

I tried this on my MT the other day and it didn't work for me. I thought I'd wait to a couple of days before posting just to see if anyone else had a problem, but the thread has been very quiet.  Anyway I've now gone back to V3. l So what happened was the install script worked perfectly and afterwards the phone booted up and worked normally. rebooted into recovery OK scrolled down to install zip from sdcard pressed camera button.... waited at least 3 minutes nothing happened. scrolled up to apply update from sdcard.. pressed camera button nothing happened. scrolled up to reboot system now pressed camera button after about 2 minutes phone rebooted. Installed it all again and this time even the reboot didn't work. V3 is fine for me, I just wondered if others are having the same problems ?

[Lens_flare]

hey, it's not flashable zip! it installs like 3.0

Sorry, i didn't explain very well.  I did use the install_recovery same as V3.0 and this was successful.  the phone does reboot into CWM 5.0.2.8 and shows the menu reboot system now, apply update from sdcard etc..... I can scroll down and highlight each line but when i press the camera key to select for example install zip, nothing happens and this is the same for all options. I have just tried this again it definitely doesn't work on my phone. I hope i have explained it well enough now.

The new recovery make use of the four navigation keys instead of the three physical buttons.
Home - up
Menu - down
Search - select
Back - back
