This project is the result of the work done by me, [highlight]Lexmazter[/highlight] and helped by [highlight]anders3408[/highlight].
More credits for this project go to:
-[highlight]Lloir[/highlight] - helping me build the device tree for CM9 which i used to build the recovery.
-[highlight]TeamWin[/highlight] and especially [highlight]Dees_Troy[/highlight] - for making this awesome recovery and for making our work official.
If you are grateful for this work, thank both of us, and the people mentioned there, just for the sake of it.
If you want to contribute or look over the sources we worked on, check here.
FAQ:​Q:Is this recovery a touch version of CWM?
No, it is not a touch version of CWM, but it has touch and some other nice stuff.
Q:I have this hboot or that hboot, will this work for me?
Yes, this recovery supports all the hboots available for this device.
Q:Can i flash this or that ROM/MOD/Kernel with this recovery?
Yes, if it doesn't work, it's probably not for our device and the mounting points are not compatible.
Q:Is this better than CWM?
This is a matter of taste, but you could say it's better because it has more features.
Q:From where can i download themes for it?
Check the web if you find themes for the resolution [highlight]480x800[/highlight], if not, recommend them here and maybe we will port them
Q:Why does the pictures above show a different version than the thread title?
The pictures are generic and will be updated only when major changes occur to the recovery.

Awesome job as I used on all my phones. Love ability to flash more than one zip at a time and all wipe function in one place, combo wipes etc. Very good and highly recommended. What have you added that this doesn't already do? Great work guys really is

Hello and congratulations for the excellent work.
I have a Sensation XL with official rom ICS 4.0.3. with this configuration:
HBOOT: 1.28.0006;
RADIO 3831.16.0016_M
I plan to unlock your device (from htc dev site), but my question is:
This recovery can install it on my end or is it just for HBOOT 1.25 (GB)?

yes it will work. this recovery works with all hboot versions

Please read the thread, are the informations are here.
There is another easy alternative, you unlock bootloader >> install goo manager from Google Play (market), and in goo manager hit settings and install openScriptRecovery, something should appear, hit next, next, ok, ok, apply, apply and there you are

Thanks for your work guys.

No, CWM-made backups are not compatible with TWRP and TWRP-made backups are not compatible with CWM.

also what i did think backup files is also a diffrent format in twrp than cwm and remeber guys backup can be sized down like if you put something in a zip file only thing is it take a little bit longer but i tested and a normal that filled 700 mb was only arround 350 mb big when using that

sometimes its best to say you dont know mate...............makes you gain respect! lex knew and i know but you shouldnt give answers based n assumptions! i have actually tried this to test a while back and it is not possible. cwm backups and twrp are done differently hence the reason why

I also tested this , as i had multiple backups from CWM 5/6 and TWRP, and stock CWM 6 are not compatible with CWM 5 and others, but CWM 5 are compatible with CWM 6.
Hope this helps

Well that's not a big problem. I'm going to restore previous backups with CWM and then backup again with TWRP. It takes a bit longer, as I have to switch through different recoveries, but then I will have all my backups ported

And heres the moment you have all been waiting for CM7 for the Galaxy Ace
I do not own this phone once so ever so if it does not boot I will try to help as much as possible.
No way is this a final product I can tell you from coding that FM Radio does not work and graphics might be kinda funny. Sounds should work and sensors might not work. Please report on here.

Warning attempting to install this ROM on the previously provided recovery will probably cause you to have to use ODIN.
This ROM is an attempt at using the bml over mtd system used by the galaxy s line of phones on Cyanogenmod
BTW using stock kernel anyone created a custom kernel they want to include?

Ok some feedback: was on Telstra rooted stock Rom provided by Leigh Kennedy, did nand backup/wiped cache & dalvik, flashed directly on top. Once done, phone automatically rebooted into new rom & been running flawlessly for past 45 mins with lots of use. Just waiting for somethin to finish downloading then I'll be flashing Gsleon's extentions.
Good job Jirv, appreciate it mate.
PS: deleted all att apps after deeming them useless in Oz. But no sweat.
Edit: yep, just flashed with the apm & eqs. Both work fine & totally appropriate
Thanks for taking the time guys.

If you are using the ruu or updating ota then you need to relock your boot loader and return to stock gingerbread. Go here:

Look at the second post. Use the ruu for your phone. You should have stock gb. Then find the ruu ics for your phone and run it. Voila! You have ics.

Help with stock I ics

If anyone could help that would be great. I rooted and unlocked my phone about 4 months ago so I could get cool droid a custom ics Rom. Then when I found out that the official Rom had come out for my device I decided to get that as I was having trouble with my battery life. So I restored a backup and downloaded the update. When I installed it boots into 4ext and trys to install but comes up with random code and says error in the location of update.
I am running unlocked bootloader, s-on and rooted

Gonna need to be more specific than "random code and errors" lol. What error does 4ext say when you try to install the ROM?
Also are you restoring a backup, and then trying to install the ROM? If so, don't. Do a full wipe/factory reset and format all partitions (except SD card) in 4ext before installing the ROM.
If you're trying to update via official HTC ota with a custom recovery and unlocked/s off bootloader, you can't. That's why its failing. I would suggest trying a custom Rom based on the official update

Even if you are HTCdev unlocked, because your recovery is not stock and you have unlocked your bootloader, you can't install the update. That's why its failing.
So either re lock it and return to stock to install the ota, or download a custom rom based on the update which will give you a stock experience.

Mark was right, you can't install official updates with an unlocked bootloader. If your looking for a stock experience I suggest flashing this ROM. It's Android revolution HD and it's based off the stock HTC ICS update but optimized for better performance. You'll also have to manually flash the boot.img since your S-ON. Follow the tutorial in this thread to learn how to flash the boot.img with fastboot.

No, as of the latest update 1.5, the rom does not need blackrose anymore.
Just flash the rom and flash your boot.img and you're good to go
Please correct me if I'm wrong though, I am just assuming because of the changelog

The ROM should work with revolutionary HBOOT now. Still waiting on confirmation for that though, but there's no risk to your phone the worst that could happen is the ROM won't boot.

[DualBoot][GT-I9100G][Greenblob][BETA] All AOSP Roms in dualboot - Update!

First of all thanks to chuandinh, I ported his method he uses for the galaxy note to dualboot. Related thread here. I made it working for our device ​
Important: If you´re not sure about something, ask and dont do it. Only apply this method when you´re a 100% sure.
I´m not responsible for things that happen to your device! It may be not safe. Everything is tested (so my device should be damaged first ^^) by myselfe but its your decission to actually use dualboot on your phone.
_________________
What you need: You need to understand the following lines and you need to have ~2gb free on your internal sd.
Rom requirements: Till now both roms have to be android 4.2.2!
Step 1: Download all files we need
Go to the download page at team-blockbuster and download all files on the page
Those are: dualboot_setup_06042013.zip, greenblob-1.1-lts.zip, boot_to_sd.zip and boot_to_phone.zip.
Step 2: Understanding how it works
- Setup the system you want to have as second rom (the one on sd). Flash anything you want to modifications etc. (apps etc. can be installed later). A wiped rom is always better
- Flash dualboot_setup_06042013.zip. It copys all kernel related files needed to your current rom and pushes your rom to sdcard. Default rom to boot is the phone rom, not the created sd rom seconds before. You´re SDRom is stored in sdcard/SDRom/rom1. greenblob-1.1-lts.zip and reboot
- Now flash your second rom. This is the phone rom. Remember to flash greenblob-1.1-lts.zip after it! You would not run greenblob 1.1 with dualboot otherwise
You´re per default always booting to your phone rom. If you want to boot sd rom you can (theoretically) press home button when the Galaxy S2G starts to pop up. Its not really working yet thats why you need the files boot_to_sd.zip and boot_to_phone.zip.
Boot into recovery and flash the file boot_to_sd.zip to boot to sd or boot_to_phone.zip to boot to phone
Step 3: If you understood everything execute the instructions
Thats it!
Ask twice if you havent understand something! I hope this guide is easy to understand. For me its sooo easy as I developed these way to boot But its hard to explain.
I will improve the method on dualboot from time to time to make it easier for you

Did you mean this?
- You installed the sdcard rom then flashed gapps for phone rom? Then the gapps are only on your phone rom
Everything thats on your phone at the point where you flash Dualboot_setup4 everything from system gets packed into sd rom.
So if you want gapps in your sdrom you have to flash sd rom, flash gapps then flash Dualboot_setup4
Is it the answer to your question?
well done
you are always a hero of the G community , thanks Fuss
I have a request if anyone manage to duel boot to make a video or list the steps clearly for the noobs like me thanks

No boot_to_sd and boot_to_phone does not wipe any data.
It only changes one value that makes it booting to sd/phone
Thank you for this really =D I was dreaming of it last night, I'm trying it right now. By the way, if I want for exemple to update the rom on the sd card, will I have to override the rom on the internal memory to do it ?

[Q] Help: Bricked My Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070

Hello Guys,
Well some brief details first,
Device: Samsung Galaxy S Advance
OS: JB Stock
Root: Yes
What I wanted To Achieve:
TWRP as Recovery (Guide Used: www.technostall.com/samsung-galaxy-s-advance-i9070-install-twrp-recovery/ ) (Failed Badly Here)
Custom ROM (Didn't Reach This Stage)
Current Phone State: No Battery Charging Icon only a round Loader (Switched Off Mode), No Download Mode, No Recovery Mode and Stuck at Boot.
What Can I try: I have No Idea... .. Posted here to know this...
After Flashing twrp with Odin, everything went good.. Like Odin Showed Success and Green.. I Disconnected phone when it rebooted but it won't won't won't move ahead of boot screen... Waited for more than 15mins, removed battery and restarted again kept it to boot till the entire battery drained but no use. Now don't know whether it is charging or no.
Kindly help.
Important Info: The phone belongs to my sis, help me before she kills me... :fingers-crossed:
Update: Entered Download mode once, only once and unfortunately my currently at my office with no softwares n drivers at hand...
Awaiting Help...
Flash firmware
<----- Click Thank Its Easy
How to it won't enter Download Mode or Recovery mode...
That guide got little problem , flashing twrp using odin is for gingerbread, in jelly bean use cocore kernel for twrp and i also got same experience with you but i get into download mode and flash frimware http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29206 again to fix it .Download the file first and try go into download mode anywhere and flash it ,if cannot go to phone repair shop
Why would you follow such a tedious guide to get TWRP, when you can just flash CoCore kernel with twrp? Well now just try to get into download mode and flash stock jb again.
OK guys thx will try CoCore kernal... I am able to get into Download mode sometimes so guess will flash Stock Firmware from sammobile...
After Stock Firmware=>CoCore Kernal=>Custom ROM
Hope this time it goes right...

In the future look for guides here on XDA, not on some third party sites... You have all explained here, just look good and read.
For future - do not flash GB kernel over any other ROM than on STOCK. Do not flash CM kernel over Stock JB, do not flash stock or CoCore kernel over CM based ROMs.

Hi,
Thx for the info..
Well the future one went a bit in air.. Guess I'll have to read more to understand more.. Will do that..
Till then can you tell me whether Flashing EHNDROIX V on Stock Firmware with Cocore Kernel will be good?
Thx a lot...
@all
Thx for replying..

You can flas it. Maybe without CoCore too. From stock recovery.

Well but they didn't mention we can do that with stock recovery so not sure about it..
Can you help me with CWM recovery if there's any for this phone, I found a temporary one but don't know it would be helpful or no... I've used CWM earlier on a phone...
CoCore if is hassle free then will go with that.. Coz another run dunno how it would turn out to be... :cyclops:

Flashed Stock ROM and CoCore Kernel Successfully... Charging the phone now its hardly 15%.. Then Custom ROM...
Thx a lot guys..
I have installed the ehndroix v ROM... They have Superuser built in, so no need for SuperSU.. Thats good..
Now when I use Titanium BackUp, it says the su binary is outdated.. So where to get the new su binary from? how to confirm what version it is and how to update? I know Superuser is not into this, its just a management tool.. So how do I get about it?
Thx in advance

If TB is working then no need to update it...
Ok Thx.. Yes it seems to work.. Like it verified the backups and restored it too.. atleast it started the installer and I did install..
BTW seems all the features I use are working n this Firmware.. However is there a better option than Nova Launcher, I tried GoLauncher but didn't like it much compared to Nova....
Also I found FM Radio missing in this firmware and also the default Music app.. I installed default Music one from F-Droid and also one from PlayStore but where do I get a tuned in Radio? All are internet based... Spirit FM is very expensive... Can you help me to find the stock one for this...
Thx in Advance..
One Learning, since I'm new to Android (correct me if wrong), Dalvik cache can be cleared at will if you want to force android to rebuilt the apps cache for faster loading.. Right?

There is no other FM radio for CM based ROMs. Only Spirit FB, and there is free version too. Look on XDA for developers thread.
You can clear Dalvik cache, and it will rebuild after reboot. But there is cache already, so I think it will not speed up loading more.
Ok so guess, won't be doing the wipe frequently...
Will search xda for Spirit Free...
Last question:
Which launcher do you suggest?
Thx..
