The recovery contains an update.zip with payload, which doesn't do anything else than restarts to the open recovery. All the files for OpenRecovery are under the OpenRecovery folder under the root of the sdcard.
The menu for the Recovery is created dynamically, the files are under OpenRecovery/menu under the root of the sdcard. The creation of the menu file is slightly different as in the CustomUpdate by mankind:
First line is the menu name (normal string), then use the following structure:
"item name:type:argument"
- item name is what is seen in the menu
- type: type of the command (described later)
- argument: argument passed to the command (file, or anything else; if empty, put "*" there, otherwise the item will be discarded)
The payload installs busybox to /sbin runs the "switch.sh" under the bin folder in open recovery. The initial menu file is in OpenRecovery/menu/init.menu under sdcard root.
commands:
- reboot: reboots the phone
- init: calls a file specified in arguments, but doesn't create a menu item (this is used to create the submenus dynamically)
- shell: calls a file specified in arguments
- menu: opens another menu file (specified in argument)
- update: applies an update *.zip file, specified in argument (format SDCARD:$path_to_the_file_in_sdcard)
- clear_data: factory reset
- clear_cahce: wipe cache
