Advice Building Custom Recovery - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Long story short I am building a recovery for a rare stick called a Gamestick by Playjam. I have built roms in the past from source for Phones but not for these Android Sticks. I have built the ota tools and I am trying to make sure that my BoardConfig.mk file and my recovery.fstab files look in line with my /proc/mtd
I have never built a recovery ie CWM and me and another member on here have took it upon ourself for starting some dev work on the Gamestick. If someone that is experienced with partitions or building cwm recoverys could give me a little advice
This the is stock /proc/mtd
Code:
mtd0: 00400000 00400000 "logo"
mtd1: 00800000 00400000 "boot"
mtd2: 20000000 00400000 "system"
mtd3: 20000000 00400000 "cache"
mtd4: 20000000 00400000 "backup"
mtd5: 100000000 00400000 "userdata"
mtd6: 9ec00000 00400000 "NFTL_Part"
mtd7: 00008000 00001000 "ubootenv"
Here is my BoardConfig.mk that was generated from my boot.img
Code:
# fix this up by examining /proc/mtd on a running device
BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x105c0000
BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x105c0000
BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x105c0000
BOARD_USERDATAIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x105c0000
BOARD_FLASH_BLOCK_SIZE := 131072
Here is my recovery.fstab generated by the boot.img for the gamestick
Code:
/boot mtd boot
/cache yaffs2 cache
/data yaffs2 userdata
/misc mtd misc
/recovery mtd recovery
/sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /dev/block/mmcblk0
/system yaffs2 system
/sd-ext ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
The way that my BoardConfig.mk and recovery.fstab is generated right now would it be in line with my current /proc/mtd on my current device that is listed above or do I have to add the missing partitions that are listed? Just looking for a little help and direction to avoid a careless brick.
Thanks,
Leroy

[Q] BoardConfig (clockworkmod)

Hello! I want make recovery to LG Optimus L7 (P705).
In BoardConfig i find this line:

But on LG Optimus L7 this file not found.
Because i can't write correct size.

Please help me. Thank you!
Connect your device via USB, make sure you have USB drivers installed.
Then in the command line type:
adb shell
cat /proc/mtd
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The result will be something like this:
mtd0: 00a00000 00020000 "boot"
mtd1: 0f800000 00020000 "system"
mtd2: 00100000 00020000 "splash"

mtd4: 00400000 00020000 "misc"
mtd5: 00400000 00020000 "persist"
mtd6: 00a00000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd7: 24fe0000 00020000 "userdata"
mtd8: 00140000 00020000 "MIBIB"
mtd9: 00080000 00020000 "SIM_SECURE"

mtd12: 00120000 00020000 "OEMSBL2"
mtd13: 01a80000 00020000 "AMSS"
mtd14: 017c0000 00020000 "EFS2"
mtd15: 01200000 00020000 "FTL"
mtd16: 01200000 00020000 "FTL2"
mtd17: 00040000 00020000 "FOTA"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The first column of numbers if the partition size. and the second one is the erasesize (KERNEL_FLASH_BLOCK_SIZE)
You will get the KERNEL_BASE and KERNEL_PAGESIZE after running unpackbootimg on the boot.img file extracted from your device.

init.rc autostart program - Android 4.1.1

Hello,
I want to add a rule to the init.rc to autostart a program.
I tried to follow this guide:
hxxp://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
Instead of the following:
Code:
#cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "misc"
mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd2: 00280000 00020000 "boot"
mtd3: 04380000 00020000 "system"
mtd4: 04380000 00020000 "cache"
mtd5: 04ac0000 00020000 "userdata"
I am only getting:
Code:
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00100000 00001000 "w25q80"
So where can I get the boot image that is installed? The device is a Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1
Thank you for your help!
Mark
Found it
On this device the boot image is located here:
Code:
/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot

Steps to get scatter file of any android phone(With Video)

1.Attach your phone to ur computer in usb debugging mode.
2.If you already have ADB installed on your computer, launch a Command Prompt / Terminal window on your computer
3.Type these following commands
adb shell
cat /proc/mtd
4.Partition table will appear.. to save it type this command
cat /proc/mtd > /sdcard/firmware.info
4.Now Put ur phone in storage mode.
6.After that, use MT65xx ROM Studio to load firmware.info and generate the corresponding scatter file that will be needed for SP Flash Tool.
For video- search "gorki jatt" channel on youtube :good:
problems
tried, getting ( dev : size erasesize name ) drivers install, but command not working.. Is there any other method, an can a terminal emulator, on phone do the same jod?
empty
when I do adb devices it shows my device but when I do cat /proc/mtd
I get the lists titles but they are empty like info
can you help?
this is because mediatek phone use MTD or EMMC memory type. If cat /proc/mtd doesn't give you anything, you must try /proc/emmc .
Scatter is not legal/illegal
Get the firmware.info follow the next step and finnaly I get the scatter file, but SPFlashTool say the scatter is not legal/illegal

these lines can not be true, there is a mistake.
let me explain for a line: for example; mtd7: 00120000 00020000 "secstatic"
00120000 this number shows the address of mtd7
and this shows 00020000 the partition length. but all the lengths are the same, and it is impossible. the second numbers should not be all same
This method didn't, worked for me can you help me
Hi
I tried to create firmware.info file but I failed
Here's what happened when I typed the command I didn't get the whole information for scatter file
E:\android one\files needed to backup stock rom,creating scatter files and boot
& recovery image\MtkDroidTools v2.5.3\adb>adb devices
List of devices attached
EAHA45A699999999 device
E:\android one\files needed to backup stock rom,creating scatter files and boot
& recovery image\MtkDroidTools v2.5.3\adb>adb shell
[email protected]_sprout:/ $ cat /proc/mtd
cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
adb is installed but when I open cmd and type the command it says "cat is not an internal command". I tried opening adb like he did in the video as well but I don't have an option to open with cmd. When I manually find cmd it doesn't open the cmd window.
I've figured it out until I try to open the info file in MTK studio and get an error message that says " '$' is not a valid integer value"
What do I do?
Somebody please help. I've been up all night trying to find an answer for this and there is nothing. PLEASE!!!!!!

1.Attach your phone to ur computer in usb debugging mode.
2.If you already have ADB installed on your computer, launch a Command Prompt / Terminal window on your computer
3.Type these following commands
adb shell
cat /proc/mtd
4.Partition table will appear.. to save it type this command
cat /proc/mtd > /sdcard/firmware.info
4.Now Put ur phone in storage mode.
6.After that, use MT65xx ROM Studio to load firmware.info and generate the corresponding scatter file that will be needed for SP Flash Tool.
For video- search "gorki jatt" channel on youtube :good:

you can also use
adb pull /proc/mtd
it will save in the folder and rename it to "mtd.info"

3.then i have downloaded script for unpacking img files (run it on cygwin) and have error " android magic not found"
I have put my img and cwm img for another device in winhex and have seen the difference. My img file really haven't "ANDROID! " and only readable info was kernel build info (linux - 3.0.8). More googling stucked me, i need some help. Guess xda-guru can help me to solve this problem.
