Recovery Key Sequence?

[Guest rjm2k]

I accidently discovered a key sequence and wondered if it's for the recovery image, when executed my pulse displays a yellow triangle saying update failed and also flashes the keypad lights. The only way out of it is to remove the battery.

The sequence is volume +, red key and power (as opposed to volume -, red key and power for the boot loader).

Is this new?

This is the mecanism Hauwei and T-Mobile use to update the pulse handset.

Is it affected by the patched recovery image?

Wondering if it might be a way of recovering from the corrupted filesystem error I encountered recently (hangs on the andreoid logo), when you haven't got access to a pc to fix it. Would be a pain if it happened on holiday etc.

No idea tbh

Well, since the file that tmobile use for this type of update is called updata.app perhaps all it need is for someone to create a dummy version of this that will simply reboot the phone in recovery mode?

Depends if it has a digital signature from TMobile and is something devs can replicate.

I was thinking more along the lines of if this is the recovery image booting then the patched recovery may startup instead of the update failed message, however I just tried it and it still just gives update failed so doesn't seem to use the patched recovery image.
