How it works ?
1. copy recovery.img to /sdcard or /cache then exec "reboot recovery".
2. reboot command try to exec "pre-recovery.sh" to flash "recovery.img"
on to boot partition.
3. use RecoveryMode :)
4. after using RecoveryMode you have to flash boot.zip again.

good , it's work good ,but when choosing to reboot the phone (from
recovery),the phone reboots and enter the reovery again.
and when choosing to turn off the phone,the phone can not turn off (hangs on
shutting down).
but it's a good start. thanx

why to flash boot.zip again, you can make a script as a zipped update file , to
flash it (insted of flashing the boot again)

there is no recovery partion on the GW620/KH5200
we have no way to get to recovery mode directly.
and we have only one bootable "boot" partition.
"reboot recovery" command simply trigger "sh /sbin/pre-recovery.sh"
and it flash boot partion with "recovery.img".
----
we need not any other zipped update-style file. boot-gb*.zip is the one already
exists.

Thanks wkp!
Does this mean we will now be able to use the "Install ROM" functionality of
ROM Manager?
Also, what does the recovery file have to be named? Should I leave it as
"gb-recovery.img" or exactly "recovery.img"?

So far rebooting into recovery didn't work for me, I'm using the new system
snapshot and the new boot image snapshot for 236 MB.
I renamed "gb-recovery.img" to "recovery.img".
I will try renaming it back to "gb-recovery.img" and see what happens.
Katzen - recoverymod is great if you flash something that doesn't work and you
need to revert to a backup, when you are away from a computer for example.

keep the name recovery.img...
reboot into recovery option from the Rom Manager , not from the
restart/shutdown option

I spoke too soon, now my phone only boots CWM recovery ;P
I guess this method replaces the boot image with CWM recovery?
So I assume I will have to reinstall the boot image within CWM every time I use
this method.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

as i understand drom wkpark >>>> yes, you need to flash boot again ...
btw ...
from the CWM recovery , when i choose to reboot the phone , the phone reboots
and enter the recovery again.
when i choose to shutdown .. the phone hangs.

so i suggest to flash a dummy boot zipped file..or another zipped file instead
of boot , for cleaning the boot procedure .. because boot files is always
updated... so we may flash an old boot..

Manager app

I just reflashed the new boot zip file.
You shouldn't be confused because they are all labeled with the version.

if you do this the phone wouldn't even boot CWM, so you'll have to flash boot
through fastboot or boot CWM through fastboot, which means the purpose of
recovery support would be pointless because you'll have to use a pc in anyway...
