Custom Recovery Image for Galaxy S?

[rtfmoz]

Since I am about to root my phone so I can do this. If I factory reset before I do it, will that give you guys a stock Optus recovery ROM. I am still running JF3.

Ahh but it will be a backup of a rooted ROM. Hmmmm

correct, It will be a backup of a rooted ROM.
I'm not sure if there is a way to extract the ROM out of the backup anyways. But it would give those the option to roll back using ROMmanager... So why not do it anyways?

If you factory reset a rooted ROM does it go back to non root?

New to rooting...

A factory reset will remove all apps and settings, and I assume reinstall the most recent firmware flash, which will remove root. A firmware upgrade also removes root. You need to upgrade, then flash the update.zip through 'adb reboot recovery' again.
It's only a small file, I just leave it on my SD card.

Ok,

Well I have an Optus Factory Image.zip available only 173MB zip file. It was created as follows...

JF3 - Factory reset.
Rooted with update.zip.
Installed ROM Manager.
Backup ROM.
Copy backup directory from internal storage and archived to zip above.
Used ROM manager to restore from backup.
Then did factory reset.

The superuser icon still exists but rom manager is gone. All the files I had on the internal SD card are still there.... ? Strange thought they would be wiped. Anyway this is basically a stock Optus backup. How useful is this factory restore image? It said not backing up /sd-card as no .android_secure found. What does that mean?

Hey Jarv,

So you have a factory image of the optus phone? Where did you get hold of that? Any chance in a copy? I have rooted my phone but want reroot it as i'm giving it to a friend. Is this even possible?

[rtfmoz]

Oh my,

I am tardy in replying... didn't see this until now. I'm not sure if what I did really produces a factory image. I was putting it out there for general comment.

Do we have a factory Optus ROM yet?

Factory Reset will delete all applications and settings, I assume re-install the latest version of the firmware flash memory, which will remove the root. Firmware upgrades are also deleted root. You need to upgrade, and then through the "ADB restart recovery" update.zip fires again.
