This is a must for firmware customization, and allows you to perform a full backup and restore for your device using a script called 'nandroid', common to almost all rooted Android devices today.

It also allows the flashing of custom update.zip files for ROM customization

It will be in Rom Manager later so users can get it easily, according to TheDude's twitter. I don't see a donate link up yet, but tweet him for one.

Info about Clockwork recovery and ROM Manager here:
My Brain Hurts: ROM Manager and Clockwork Recovery Image


For now,

You need to use the flash_image binary or fastboot (fastboot bootloader mode, using the command 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) to install this.

flash_image instructions:
If you put the recovery image on your SDcard root directory,

adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img 
reboot recovery

fastboot instructions:
If you have the recovery image in your working directory

adb shell reboot oem-78
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

No phone needed.
Download recovery image to your computer
Use ADB to push file to root of SD card
Use ADB to flash recovery

Detailed instructions are on wiki site: http://augendev.wikispaces.com/

Let me know if you have questions.

I got the recovery image flashed. I installed ROM manager and want to install clockwork recovery to do a backup. To install clockwork you need to pick a phone.

-or am I looking at this the wrong way! To get into recovery on my droid phone I have to either go through rom manager or power off and hold x to get into recovery. (Im sure you know this) So what is the method to get into recovery to do a back up with the GT?

Hold in the hard home button while powering up.
Hard buttons are back, select,up,down from left to right in recovery.
When you reboot...it will shut down.
Don't panic...just power back up.

Thanks for the help! I was driving home from work and realized what I was trying to do was allready done. When we flashed the clockwork image, we didnt need to update the clockwork through rom manager! Got it all now! Tell you what! This thing rocks once calibrated! Cant beat $150!

Thanks again!

X,

I need your help here.

call me a bone head 1st, it will make you feel better.

I followed the instructions from the wiki, and am not seeing anything different.

however, and I apologize I can NOT remember where I got it, but I have 2 recovery images on my pc.

one is the clockwork that seems about 4 MB (does that sound right?), the 2nd is one just labled recovery.img that is 10MB.

Now again, I believe I did the clockwork properly, but if you could spell out some "simple like youre talking to a 3rd grader, step by step instructions" on those images, what they do and how to install/use them, I ould GREATLY appreciate it.

I think the augen is a great device, I wish I had another one, and I want to start wrking with them, but I'm just having some "simple" issues based on me.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

X,

I had a dupe post.

But as long as I'm here, X, what pad are you using? You seem to have done a lot of research.

Thanks
