Seven.of.nine:
A boot manager on the phone would be really great, that asks the user to boot the phone into normal mode or into rescue mode on powering up the phone, like a linux computer has it.
Surely this could easily be implemented, because /boot/hybris-recovery.img is present on the phone.
Worth a feature request? Or possible to be implemented by the community to not demand Jollas limited resources too much?
AFAIK, the recovery image is not present on the phone but delivered into the package. Unfortunately, it seems almost useless at least on Xperia 10 II
AFAIK, no because there is no a reasonable way to deal with the display after the recovery boot, e.g. cfr. yamui part in the link above. Even the telnet IP address is shown properly.
