I did some work with JF’s recovery image, merged stuff from AOSP 1.5r3, patches from others, and added some of my own stuff.

This recovery image contains:

* Nandroid 2.2 with RESTORE!
* E2FSProgs with ext4 support
* GNU Parted (command line version)
* FSCK for ext filesystems from the menu
* Various scripts, upgrade_fs (convert to ext3), fix_permissions (set app and data permissions to what packages.xml expects)
* Kernel from CyanogenMod-3.9

To install image: copy it to your sdcard and run:

flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img

If you have problems with a “no space on device” error, try using fastboot and erasing first:

fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img
