We did it.
We have a CWM Recovery for the Z990 Avail, PLUS a 'stock' Avail kernel with ext4 support
(The recovery was also built with the ext4 kernel. No menus to admin ext4, tho)
Have both Temp CWM (as a update.zip)
And a ADB flashable recovery.img
The kernel is coming soon
Happy testing!

Any one know if this is possible I would like to use Amon Ra's as it allows you to partition the sd card. I can't figure out how to do this without using Amon Ra's
This is the Hero forums, we don't a Cyanogen recovery. I would recommend you consult the Dream or Sapphire boards. But to answer your question it should be as easy as:
Code:
adb push <the recovery you want to use>.img /sdcard
adb reboot
The phone will restart. After it finishes restarting you type the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
flash_image recovery <the recovery you want to use>.img
reboot recovery
And you will be in the new recovery.
Also using modaco 3.1 (which is excellent) just cant figure out the aps2sd part
I am using the htc hero maybe I got mistaken but when I boot in recovery mode
I get a pic of a green android and the following options
android system recover
reboot system now
apply sdcar updare.zip
apply any zip from sd
wipe data factory reset
nandroid 2.2 backup
restore lates backup
repair ext file system
Build Cyanogen mod 1.4 +jf
The Cyanogen recovery should not be able to run on a HTC Hero...

You can make it.
Just replace the kernel in the img and it should work just fine.
Of course Cyanogen works on Hero.
It was used in plenty of tutorials on how to root your phone.
I ended up with it as well.
I might want to change to Amon however... I don't have a need for the moment.
Hmmm I used a tutorial as well must of been an old one.
How to I partition the sd card so.

In the RA-hero-v1.5.2 topic it has a section: Install ...via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery
thats at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
You can use the flashrec as well.. theres a guide here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622228&highlight=Root
you only need to do steps 1-6 on the second method.
im in the same boat as you i still have the cyanogen recovery im going to use flashrec tomorrow tho.. to tired just now lol
hope this helps you
Lads got it working thanks for all the help. Just used my current recovery with the adb shell commands worked a charm
Used Clockwork, but I used Odin to flash the kernel afterwards and now I'm not sure what file system it's using. Can I check what it's using anywhere?
Thanks!
Connect to your PC and open adb shell, or download a terminal emulator, and type:
mount
If you see EXT4, it's EXT4. If you see RFS, it's RFS.
If you flashed a stock kernel via Odin, however, and your phone is working, it's RFS. Additionally, if it's CWM2.5 you have, not CWM3, it's RFS.
Also the first time you boot into Clockwork if it is 3.x it will start the conversion process to EXT4. It takes a few minutes for that so it is hard to miss.
i remember having clockworkmod recovery 3 but when you install it, its temporary anybody know where this file is
"you gain knowledge by asking questions"
-by unknown
You can get it via RomManager.
Download the 3.x recovery inside RomManager, then click Reboot into Recovery (in RomManager)
There is one more way.
Of flashing a temp. recovery inside the real recovery.
I don't have a temporary 3.x recovery, but I do have a temporary 2.5.x recovery.
You can get all the available temporary ZIP recoveries here:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
Look for the files with 'Buzz' in the file name, and which ends with .zip

I'm not flashing etc. my SXS (or other cells) often, so I may missed some informative posts regarding my problems. Usage of
Report/Log of actions and problems
I tried to fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.1-LT26i.img and openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-nozomi.img but f2fs was not available and also installing uCyan-12.1-b04.zip gave me errors
Using adb "fastboot flash boot boot_carbon_3-11-14_with_twrp.img" I was able to use the included TWRP 2.8.0 to clean flash (wiped all except sdcard) "uCyan-12.1-b04.zip"
With TWRP 2.8.0 I also was not able to format all partitions except sdcard with f2fs (probably because of the carbon kitkat-kernel?)
(as expected) TWRP 2.8.0 was gone after the flashing
I tried to reinstall TWRP by installing eu.chainfire.supersu-2.46-246-Android-2.1.apk & com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager.apk in uCyan, this gave me errors and FC and then also forced System shutdowns
Vol+ (fastboot, blue light) und adb USB connect seems to not work with uCyan-12.1-b04 for me, but not sure what is the culprit.
I would like to achieve and ask how to do:
install TWRP 2.8.x permanently (into FOTAkernel)
format all partitions except sdcard with f2fs
install uCyan-12.1-b04
all of this possibly without using uCyan (or another ROM) and without App-Installation (Cell offline) so only with TWRP & adb also to make a clean backup of uCyan: is this possible?

According to the first list, You had done most of the stuff correctly. You just didn't have partitions in f2fs and no TWRP, right?
The TWRP in carbon should work with f2fs conversion, but given that You get problems, we will need to go via a kinda lengthy method.
Flash the uCyan-12.1-b04 normally via the recovery.Don't bother flashing gapps or other zips now.
Then to get root, You don't need to install SuperSU. You can do so via Settings> Developer Options> Root option for adb and apps.
Then follow the procedure from here to flash TWRP.
After You have TWRP version 2.8.4.1, then reboot to recovery, now convert needed partitions to f2fs and flash the ROM and gapps!
Hello forum,
i'm currently trying to find the best software solution for my Xperia Z1 Compact and i already got close to what's possible.
I found this ROM which is working almost perfectly except that it overrides the recovery with a dual recovery with an older TWRP version which prevents me from doing critical flashes and backups.
I only need TWRP 3.0.2 on /recovery, nothing else like PhilZ or anything else.
When i flash TWRP 3 for Z1C and reboot to recovery or press Vol-Up when booting i get a blackscreen boot loop which can only be fixed by flashing an old TWRP or wiping the entire phone from fastboot.
Another problem is that updater-script formats /system and /data to ext4 and mounts them like that which is a problem because i'd like to have F2FS on all of my partitions.
I already tried removing /kernel/ and /dualrecovery/ from the .zip and modifying updater-script to not format both patititons and mount them as F2FS, but when trying to flash this modded .zip it fails to flash (probably because an integrity check?).
So what i need to do is:
Remove recovery from .zip
Remove kernel from .zip
Modify updater-script to not format any partitions and mount them as F2FS
Any help, resources and tipps are appreciated. I'm running Windows 10 x64 but i don't think i'm able to build a ROM on my own as i have only little programming experience.

I don't know much, but I am surprised that flashing twrp 3 causes that problem. What method are you using? Try using Rashr to flash twrp 3 img, then try to boot to recovery. If vol up doesn't work, try vol down, (that's what works for me). Somehow I don't think you'll be able to just remove those things from the ROM and have it flash fine. Your better chance is to get twrp flashed, then figure out the F2FS, etc. Also, there are custom kernels for stock-based roms, and don't forget that twrp 3 is not official on Z1compact, so read threads thoroughly to make sure what you're trying to do is supported. I know many of us have twrp 3 on our phones, so I would look more into that.
Hi,
I had the same issues and maybe this helps.
- install your rom and go into dual recovery and choose twrp
- in twrp go to install and choose "IMG" and not "ZIP"
- you can now install the new twrp version via install !
Maybe you should not flash that ROM because it seems to contain malware. Have a look into the thread.
