[RECOVERY][MOD] BAmod Recovery v1.0 (AMOLED AND SLCD!)

I was a little tired of the look of recovery (that green is meh). So I decided to build a custom recovery with a little help from adrynalne and from the CM IRC folks with my added touches.
Please note: DO NOT CONSIDER THIS CLOCKWORKMOD. (Yes it's based off of clockworkmod). DO NOT ASK KOUSH for help with this. If you're having a problem, contact me on twitter (@berzerker7), on irc in ##incredibleroms on freenode, or PM me or reply here or something and I'll help you however I can.
The images were also replaced with the ones from the original Incredible recovery image so it matches the incredible look.
Also included is the super trackpad scroll fix from adrynalyne's custom recovery (hence the B and A in the name).
According to testing, this also works fine with ROM Manager!

revert.zip
Installation instructions:
Start here: these are the steps you need to get BAMod to work with ROM Manager:
1. Open ROM Manager, let it detect whatever it needs to detect.
2. Tap on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery." It should say "Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2" (or whatever the newest version is) after that.
3. Proceed to install BAMod recovery using any of the three options listed below.
4. Until there's another CWM update, RM should keep thinking you have the latest CWM installed and it should work fine (tested as I typed this).
Note: If there's ever another update, repeat the installation procedure.
Option 1: Using unrevoked
1. Open the unrevoked tool, choose File > Custom recovery, and choose the BAmod img file.
2. Run the tool as you did before and it should install the recovery after it's finished.
Option 2: Manually
1. Download the color of your choice and revert.zip from the downloads above.
2. Push the recovery image and the flash_image binary from revert.zip to /data/local
3. run the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
# cd /data/local
# chmod 755 flash_image
# flash_image recovery BAmod_1.0-<color>.img
That last command is very important, don't misspell anything and make sure you replace <color> with the color you downloaded (red, cyan, etc.).
Option 3: Using a PB31IMG.zip through HBOOT (S-OFF only)
1. Download the PB31IMG of your choice from the downloads above (green, cyan, etc.) and put it on your SDCard named "PB31IMG.zip"
2. Reboot into HBOOT by doing one of the following:
a. Turn the phone completely off, hold the volume down button, then turn it back on while still holding the volume down button.
b.
Code:
adb reboot oem-42
3. If you did this correctly, HBOOT should detect the PB31IMG.zip and ask you to update listing RECOVERY as the only partition. Choose volume up (yes) and it will complete in about 1-2 seconds.
4. When it asks you to reboot, choose volume down (no) and then volume down again to highlight on recovery and press the power button. The phone should boot into recovery so you can see if it worked or not!
4a. If HBOOT didn't detect the PB31IMG.zip, you either didn't name it correctly (check for hidden file extensions), or your SDCard isn't properly formatted (should be FAT32).
Changelog:
1.0
-Initial release
-Based on CWM 2.5.0.9 from latest koush github.
-Swapped out for HTC themed recovery images
Special, special thanks to adrynalyne for his kernel support for SLCD and super scrolling, to koush for his awesome recovery and putting up with my stupid questions, and to #cyanogenmod for source building help

Nice work man! I've got an AMOLED but I'm still gonna give this a go. I'm liking the red.

this does infact work with ROM manager so i would post that in the op
Thanks man great work!!!

This is a nice touch. Since it contains the scrolling fix, I assume it is based off CWM 2.5.0.5?
Also, it is fairly trivial to package up a recovery in a PB31IMG.zip - all you need to do is download a working zip and replace the img file with yours. You're more likely to get people to install it that way.

It's based off of 2.5.0.9, with adrynalyne's kernel fix, which is essentially what the latest clockwork is anyway.

All three links bring up a monstrous page of code with no download. Just an FYI. I'd love to give this a run.

Thank you, sir!

What problem are you having? IMO the easier method is through ADB if you're on windows.

still planning on making a PB31IMG for it? should be pretty simple.
EDIT:
i didnt want to wait
i liked the red one, heres the PB31IMG for it. obviosuly you gotta rename it, i just have it named like to to distnguish from all the other files with te same name. drop it on your sdcard, boot into HBOOT and apply the update

Thanks, I'll post this in the OP along with versions for the cyan/green one later today.

Same issue with using "USB Safely remove" option. Please refer to this thread for possible solutions. [Unofficial][Recovery][Ideos X6] CWM Recovery 4.0.1.4 [Update]
Beware, some of your earlier Backups might just show md5sum mismatch. [happened with me] So just keep earlier recovery update.zip in /sdcard, just in case.
The backup format for this recovery is .tar and not .img, this is done [not by me, by koush and CWM developers ] to reduce size of each backup. So, backup generated by using this version are not supported by earlier Recovery releases. But this release can use earlier releases' backup.
[Disclaimer]
I am not to be held liable/responsible if you damage your phone by following/not following this thread.
[Acknowledgement]
koush for his CWM bootable recovery sources.
Steam recovery sources by SteamMOD for touch input related modifications.
k1chy for testing this touch based CWM recovery on his ideosX6 device. (Since my device is bricked right now, I can not test it )
P.S.: I have purposefully kept same format as for my older post of CWM Recovery v3, so that it will be helpful for any new user to grasp everything at single place.

Well I am not the right person to tell that, as I am not the developer of CWM recovery. Its Koush.
I have just ported it to our device.
Anyway to tell you few points that I found out:
Major change for our device is support for backup in tar format. (Size reduction of the backup files)
Support for firmware update check and its installation. (If you did ota update and phone restarted in recovery for the same, I guess) - NOT for our device
Support for zip installation from internal SDcard. (Avalable in few devices) - NOT for our device
Few comsetic changes during backup and recovery that you might have noticed.
And few changes in recovery log file.
You can find these out by yourself by looking at sources modifications at: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/commits/gingerbread/

Initial Test
Ok...set this up on my device:
1. Backup works fine (in tar format now)
2. Restore Works fine
3. Format/Wipes work fine
4. Didnt see much difference from functionality standpoint though...
Will definitely update if something fails or creates a problem
Thanks a lot for this....

This recovery's backup is in tar file format for non boot partitions, as its mentioned in few posts before. So the backup created by this re overy can not be used with earlier versions of recovery.
And for adb, is your device detected when it is booted into any ROM. I mean have installed drivers correctly.
For USB mounting, select mount USB storage in mounting menu. And remain in that menu untill you are done with USB usage.

OK that was one info i might have missed .. about the .tar format! thanks for stressing it again
but about the other two advices .. i have my phone detected by all other roms ..yes ...thats how i could fix its looping at corrupted boot animation yesterday?(mentioned in another post ) so i guess its some other issue .. since its not worked with the combined recovery version too (stock and v5.0.x.x) ..any guess whats happening ??
about mounting and unmounting .. i stayed in the "mounted" state for 10 minutes and still it didnt show up on the pc. but with other clockwork i guess its again urs 0ne with orange colour i get this working so easily .
thanks for immediate response and thanks for these great releases i really like the details shown (each file name its backing up and restoring ) really cool

My changes are developer friendly. What i mean by that is, if you know how to extract and re-pack recovery.img file for our device then you can just replace button.png and button-sel.png to your choice. Graphical menu will adjust itself.
Anyway, i will release a separate version too, so as to make this process more friendly.

Sorry, I did not follow what you meant by "usb disk in recovery".
Regarding restoring old backups, this recovery supports any backup from last releases. (backward compatibility).
Anyway, just for the sake of convenience I have retained older release in my first post attachments. So anyone can revert back to older release if they want.

Just retain / copy (if you have a backup on your computer) clockworkmode folder in your SD card along with the old ROM backups. This cwm will simply take the backup and restore. Worked for me !

Dont think so.. But you could try. I tried touch cwm but couldnt get touch input working. TWRP is good too
Sent from my GT540 using XDA

Confirmed. This recovery can't restore cwm backups because backups made with this recovery are in different format.
Good thing is that:
- backup's are faster (restore's too) than cwm
- can apply compression to backups so they will weigh less (207mb with TWRP vs 350mb of Cwm)
- can reboot into fastboot (in cwm don't)
- touch!!!!!!!
- can partition SD and set ext size and format.
- same features as Cwm recovery and more organized
Thanks for compile this recovery!!!

Fastboot is the only way to install this recovery.
I already try with android terminal and root toolbox.
The terminal returns error.
After both methods and reboot to recovery the phone goes to Fastboot mode.
I'll try fastboot later, because this is very interesting alternative recovery

hmm? what error? is it to do with memory?

you CAN flash this with terminal emulator / adb shell (for example):
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
If you want to interact with SDcard from your computer you can do this with ADB (instead of usb mount). There is a flag to disable USB mount for TWRP (TW_NO_USB_STORAGE) but i will leave it in for now.

Iam installed this recovery by using yaffsexpert.apk.try this apk works great for me

About the same functions as CWM, but faster backup/restore. And it is a bit faster because you have touch and don't have to scroll trough all the 'no's' in the CWM menu.

like thomas1991_12 said it has same options as cwm but with faster backup and restore,only thing that doesnt work is usb mount...

Intro:
This thread will serve as a location for basic how-to guides for the Xiaomi Redmi 2. I'm going to start off with a couple of the more obvious ones and go from there. If anyone has any suggestions for additions please feel free to let me know.
By attempting any of the processes listed this thread you accept full responsibility for your actions. I will not be held responsible if your device stops working, catches on fire, or turns into a hipster and claims to have been modified before it was cool.
Index:
Post #1 - Rooting your Redmi 2
Post #2 - Flashing Custom Recovery
Post #3 - Flashing Custom ROMs
Post #4 - Flashing Custom Kernels
Resources:
Everything you need for Xiaomi Redmi 2 is available in the below given thread -
[INDEX] Xiaomi Redmi 2

Rooting your Redmi 2:
This guide will root your device through Stock MI Recovery(Works with TWRP also), but this is not Native Root. A new app named SuperSU will be installed, which will give root Permission.
Note:
Rooting does not Void Warranty.
Caution:
This is a safe process, but I am not responsible for anything bad that happens to your phone.
In most cases this approach of rooting should not block OTA updates.
Steps to follow for rooting:
Download the Root.zip and Copy the file to the folder 'Internal storage' (root of internal storage).
(File at the end of thread)
Open the Updater app, Press the 3 dots at Right Top Corner, A menu will open. Tap on “Choose Update Package“ and select the Root.zip File.
Wait until device will reboot.
After reboot a new app SuperSu will be installed.
Open the app and Choose "Continue".
Choose "Normal", Don't Choose TWRP/CWM, device will go into Boot Loop.
Note - Don't Choose TWRP/CWM, it will brick your device.
After sucessful updation , press ok.
Your Phone has now Root Permission.
Open any app using Root permission and SuperSU will ask for Permission.
Enjoy your rooted Redmi 2.
Un Root The Device:
For Un Root , open the SuperSU app,tap on Settings, Choose Full Unroot.
Your Device is Un Rooted Sucessfully. The SuperSU app will be removed.

Flashing Custom Recovery:
From Mobile:
Install Flashify app from Playstore
Once installed, access the application through app drawer.
Allow root access now and get navigate to Flashify’s home screen.
First take a backup of your recovery in case something goes wrong. (RECOMMENDED)
Now tap on recovery image and by "Choose the file" menu locate the .img file you want to flash.
After successful flashing it will ask you to reboot your device.
Done! You have custom recovery on your phone.
From PC:
Enable USB debugging, go to settings>about phone and then tap on Android/MIUI version 5 times. Developer Options will be enabled. Now go back to settings>Developer options and enable USB debugging.
ADB and Fastboot Drivers installed on your PC. I can provide you the drivers but it would be a better option to install MiFlash to get all the necessary drivers and Miflash software with you for future use.
Install Miflash on your PC. Lets suppose we installed it in C:\Xiaomi folder.
You can see two folders, proceed to "adb' folder
Then proceed to "Google" folder.
Proceed to "Android" Folder.
We are at our destination.
Now Hold down "Shift" button on your computer keyboard and right click with mouse on an empty part of the window. You will see that in the menu that appears, you have an option - "open command window here". Click on that
To verify if ADB is working and installed correctly, type "adb version" in the command window that opened without the code. You should get the adb version which means its working fine.
Turn off your Phone. When its completely switched off, press and hold "Volume Down" and "Power" button together and then the phone will turn on in Fastboot mode.
Use the USB cable to connect Phone to PC.
Copy the Recovery.img in the Android folder where we are running the Command prompt. (C:\Xiaomi\adb\Google\Android in my case as i installed Mi flash in C:\Xiaomi folder)
Now go back to command promt and enter the following commands -
Code:
fastboot devices
Once you enter that command, you will get a non-empty name for the device meaning the device is connected. Proceed to enter the next command to flash recovery image -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you enter this command, the recovery image will be flashed on your device. Once it is completed, enter the final command to reboot your phone -
Code:
fastboot reboot
Your phone will reboot.
You have have now completed flashing custom recovery replacing Stock Mi recovery on your Xiaomi Redmi 2.

Flashing custom ROMs:
Steps to Follow:
Download and transfer the custom ROM you wish to flash to your device’s storage.
Boot your device into TWRP recovery.
Select “Wipe” from TWRP main menu and do a “Swipe to Factory Reset” on the bottom of screen.
Note: This will factory reset your device. If your custom ROM doesn’t require a factory reset, then simply skip this step.
Go back to TWRP main menu, tap on “Install” and select the custom ROMs .zip file that you transferred to your device in Step 1.
After selecting the .zip file, do “Swipe to Confirm Flash” on the bottom of screen to begin the custom ROM installation process. This may take some time.
Once your ROM is successfully flashed, you’ll see “Wipe cache/dalvik” option, select it and then do “Swipe to wipe” on bottom of screen.
Once cache & dalvik wipe completes, hit the “Back” button on-screen and then select “Reboot System” button.
That’s all. Your device will now reboot with the custom ROM you just flashed. Since this will be the first reboot after flashing a new ROM, it might take some time to rebuild cache and finish boot, have patience.

Flashing Custom Kernels:
Steps to Follow:
Download and transfer the custom Kernel you wish to flash to your device’s storage.
Boot your device into TWRP recovery.
In the TWRP main menu, tap on “Install” and select the custom Kernel .zip file that you transferred to your device in Step 1.
After selecting the .zip file, do “Swipe to Confirm Flash” on the bottom of screen to begin the custom Kernel installation process. This may take some time.
Once flashing completes, hit the “Back” button on-screen and then select “Reboot System” button.
That’s all. Your device will now reboot with the custom Kernel you just flashed. Since this will be the first reboot after flashing a new Kernel, it might take some time to rebuild cache and finish boot, have patience.

1) Switch off the phone.
2) Press the Volume Down, Volume Up and the Power Button at the same time, about 2-3 seconds until the mi logo shows up.
3) Recovery mode menu will appear.

Follow the same steps to boot into recovery and flash SuperSU v2.4.6 zip via recovery
(And remember you are responsible if anything happens to the device)

omg, I am so stupid. I tried vol up + power, vol down + power and all possible combinations including the home button, but never vol up + vol down + power button. Thank you!

Great !

New CM 12.1 is awesome, finally the camera works
I am curious on why I keep on losing root access. I never had that issue with any other phones and custom ROMs.

[NEW LAYOUT][RECOVERY][3.x] Team Win Recovery Project [22/06/2016]

TWRP 3.x for HTC Incredible S​
Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It's a fully touch driven user interface - no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

This is TWRP recovery 3.x compiled for HTC Incredible S. Credits go to Team Win for this awesome recovery.
This specific recovery uses the new layout, meaning that the sdcard is used as the data partition.
How to Install
Download the recovery from the link below
Make sure you have fastboot installed
Open a terminal in Mac or Linux, or Command Prompt in Windows
Go to the directory where the recovery is placed
Then flash using this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery path_to_recovery.img
Tip: Type "fastboot flash recovery " and then drag the recovery file into the terminal.
Before installing a ROM, make sure you have switched to the new data layout.
Please scroll down to the third post to find out how to do this.

Try using this recovery.

Why do we need to use sdcard as data partition? This will decrease performance even more.

when i try to install the recovery it say "fast boot does not recognize as internal or external command". what should i do?help me pls

Because there isn't enough place for the rom and gapps in normal layout

how to install it without pc
I mean can i zip it as PG32IMG and copy it to sd-card then flash it

I'm having problems with this recovery: it hangs on the TWRP boot screen so I cannot proceed to wipe in order to use the new format.
I'm unlocked s-on and previously used vivkat with clockwork 5.0.2.0.
Never mind, after removing the sdcard it worked.

I have same case with you.
WA ==> keep trying by plug-unplug until PC recognized your phone.
You need to have the fastboot ready with the command, once the phone detected then press ENTER
Good luck

touch screen damage and does not work properly
I have HTC incredible and I install TWRP 3 . my touch screen can not work good and some places in my touch screen can not work properly when I want format all of data and use new layout and I type yes , and want press Enter , it does not work , so I have to choose wipe all . can I use another method for format all data and use new layout?

I have Incredible s and install cyanomdod 5.1 on it and when I want install gapps on it , twrp 3 said you ROM 6.1 and you must install gapps 6.1 and can not install it.
twrp detect my OS is 6.1, but my OS is 5.1. I use gapps nano for install it.
