Guest Paul Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Writing a temporary custom recovery that dumped the contents of /sys to a file, running it 'volume' down, running it 'normally', comparing the 2 files to find the difference in the 'volume down' start, then modifying the recovery startup script to 'reboot recovery' if it detects it's in that mode. Huzzah! :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huzzah! :) P interesting, I wonder where the different /sys comes from, another ramdisk hidden away for FTM mode? wonder if it's the mystery "oem"/"persist" partition?

Guest rjm2k Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) No, that comes from the kernel... P Hmm, any idea what the persist/oem partition is for, it's mounted as standard but contains only lost+found also the misc partition which isn't mounted and I can't get into, was there a special version of unyaffs2 for the blade?

Guest mark watson Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Install 'Quick Boot' from the market after flashing ClockworkMod. Quick Boot gives you the option to boot into Recovery Mode. I've installed Quick Boot and have selected "apply" how do you thien execute? the screen doesn't respond nor do any key presses? Any help?

Thanks Not sure what you have done, process should be... Install clockwork mod install quick boot select quick boot -> recovery once in recovery select apply sdcard update.zip (assumes you have /sdcard/update.zip) if you got into recovery using vol - then make sure it's recovery r2 you installed Edited October 7, 2010 by rjm2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are errors, the .android_secure is something to do with either froyo or app2sd or both, ie installing applications on your sd card rather than the phone.
