HII guys,

Here is a big thank you to SpsychoS over at alldroid, who's successfully compiled a custom recovery image for the droid. With this, if you screw up your droid, you should sucessfully be able to repatch your droid with a non-signed update.zip file.

Word of warning: This recovery image allows for updating the Droid with ANY file named update.zip, so make sure that whatever you do use to recover your brick is legitimate.

YOU CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE WITH THIS.
PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN UPLOADING THIS IMAGE

1 - place the required files (flash_image binary and recovery.img - naming shouldn't matter i kept the version number on it) on your sdcard - you can do this with a microsdcard reader, adb push, or just by connecting your *working* droid to your computer and mounting the SD card.

2 - Connect your phone to your computer in debugging mode and use ADB shell to start a root session on your phone by typing su

3 - mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system - this mounts /system as a writable partition

4 - mkdir /system/xbin - if it already exists you will simply get an error

5 - cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/xbin/flash_image

6 - chmod 700 /system/xbin/flash_image - validate permissions on /system/xbin/flash_image - you are the root user after all, don't need world and group executable or even read =)

7. mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.old - This will ensure that the custom image will not be overwritten on reboot.

8 - sync - flush changes to block device

9 - mount -o remount,r -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system - remount in read-only - you shouldn't need to make any more changes

10. /system/xbin/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img - will reflash your recovery partion with the custom loader.

11 - hit power button, select power off

12 - hold x, hit power button

13 - you should be greated by the custom recovery firmware
