Question about recovery mode

Post by pcgeil »

Hi,

do we have total access to the 1GB NAND from the recovery mode?
Which part is blocked?


Why isn't it possible to replace the "normal" kernel by the recovery kernel? I mean the recovery kernel is able to load modules as far as I now.
Can't we write the "normal" kernel directly?

Is anywhere more information about the boot procedure?

Thanks.

Replacing the two may be possible - but to what extent? Namely, the recovery kernel has a different init, so you (at the very least) would need heavy modifications, and remember - you can't touch the kernel or recovery images to do so.
