Custom Clockwork Rooted Recovery for Augen Gentouch

Just made a nandroid back up on my Gentouch!! Worked like a charm!!

 

what phone are you guys using when flashing clockwork?

 

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

I guess to add to the buttons option. I flashed the recovery image but reboot recovery either powered off or simply rebooted. Never got to the recovery menu. So, if you have this happen, holding the home button while powering up gets you to the menu. From there, the menu button moves down, the search button moves up and the home button selects. The backup button backs up to the previous menu. That all took a few minutes to figure out.

 

Hi.

I just got my gentouch and trying to get the recovery working so I can make a nandroid of the original apps and stuff.

I'm able to push and run flash_image successfully, but can't seem to boot into the recovery menu.

I've tried both adb shell reboot recovery, and power off + hold home button + power on, but all i get is a blank bright screen.

At various points, I did see the menu flash on the screen but it disappears before I can do anything.

Anyone else had this issue or know whats going on or how to fix?

 

I got the white screen on a few endeavours dealing with the Gen... try just adb reboot instead of the adb reboot recovery.. since you have to manually reboot this thing.. and as you're turing it back on then do the power+home.. seemed to work when i had mine locked up.. lol

 

finally got it, had to let go of the home button when the little guy in the upper left corner comes on the screen.

if you hold down the home key too long it doesnt seem to work right
