---------------------------------BACKGROUND---------------------------------Last year I made RZRecovery for the original Droid. It was a huge success, since then I have been asked to port to other devices. So here,about 1 year later (after a lot of work... Remember, I *do not* know C), I have done just that. This will bring all the features of the oldRZR plus a few new ones including the epic rom.tgz install format from the days of yore to any device. I have built this recoveryspecifically to handle all devices without the need for a recompile (except for Tegra2-based devices, they have to be recompiled because ofsome libc bugs). I have made img files for a few devices to start with:---------------------------------CONFIRMED---------------------------------HTC ThunderboltSamsung Nexus SSamsung Nexus S 4GHTC Incredible/Incredible S/ Incredible 2HTC EVO 4GHTC AceHTC LeoT-mobile myTouch 4G---------------------------------EXPERIMENTAL---------------------------------HTC Dream/Sapphire/MagicHTC Click/TattooHTC AriaHTC WildfireHTC LegendHTC Desire/Desire CDMA/Desire S/ Desire HDHTC Hero/Hero CDMALG Optimus SLG Optimus 1LG Optimus VLG Optimus 2XMotorola Cliq/ Cliq XTMotorola BackflipMotorola Atrix - capacitive buttons dont workPLEASE: IF ANY OF THESE EXPERIMENTAL BUILDS WORK, PLEASE POST AND LET ME KNOW SO THAT I MAY MOVE THEM TO THE CONFIRMED SECTION---------------------------------SCREENSHOTS---------------------------------View all (in case forums limit the amount of images shown): http://rzdroid.com/f...2.1.3/view.html ---------------------------------CREDITS---------------------------------(without any of these individuals/organizations none of this could be possible)CyanogenMod - for being completely open and having a huge database of device informationkoush - for clockworkmod, where I got support for other partition types and filesystemsrbox - for repeat scroll and touch screen scrollingcvpcs - for helping with anything I have ever askedslayher - for showing me how to enable capacitive buttons on HTC devicesbekit - for showing me the bionic commits to get recovery built for tegra2'strevorj - for the original battery charge knowledgemy wife - for giving me all the time I needed to get this doneall the testers for testing and encouragement!---------------------------------DOWNLOADS---------------------------------I have tried to create an update.zip template for myself that will correctly flash recovery on any device, but if it fails, well... If a zip fails to load then there's probably a reason, and I do not advise forcing a flash. However, if flash_image didn't work the first time you can always extract the IMG from the zip and fastboot it or use something similar to flash it. This may or may not work, and your device may even use a totally different recovery format.If the device is listed in the experimental section, it means it is untested. I don't know if it will even boot.DISCLAIMER: Not that this needs to be said, but by downloading any of the files below, you take full responsibility for what happens withthem. Make sure you have a way out if something goes wrong. The devices above are in the experimental section for a reason!These are update.zip files meant to be run from recovery.

Make a device setup (or use one from CM) and let it go. You mighthave to compile the entire system before you can make just a recovery img. If using CM, you can probably doand it will compile the required software to make recovery. I wish I could say it is that easy. For many devices it is, but for ones thatuse newer technology like samsung's new initramfs format, you're on your own trying to make a kernel with a built in initramfs containingRZR - you have to compile the kernel and build the ramdisk into it, instead of marrying a ramdisk img to a zImage into a recovery.img, youget a zImage file, but it contains the kernel as well as the ramdisk.If you do get it booting, but something doesn't work correctly, let me know so I can try to work with you and get it fixed. I only have aNexus S 4G to work with.---------------------------------WALKTHROUGH---------------------------------Volume up/down - scroll (can hold down to repeat scroll)HTC - touch screen - scrollHome - selectBack/Power - back
