Ok so here is the deal. I have a thread going over on XDA to try and get Amon Ra to make a recovery for the Shift. If you had an EVO and used Amon Ra recovery than you know what I'm talking about. Believe me there are a lot more options in recovery. Helps with a lot of situations. Check out the thread for some of the options that we might have if get this for the Shift. Post up over on XDA and I'll add your name to the list. Thanks.
Anyway here's the link :
