TWRP Version: 2.4.3
CWM Version : 5.5.0.4
E Kernel Version: Build 3 - U2
Presenting the first Dual Recovery Kernel for Arc/S and Pro. Your warranty is now void bla bla bla. I'm working on bringing TWRP to ICS based kernels (not cm9) and have been successful, worked on this alone for hours. Thankyou to @Rachit Rawat for allowing me to use some ramdisk files from his sources and Teamwin for creating TWRP. Ill write the rest of the thread later on. Both of the kernels are attached. And for those wondering, yes its been reported to be fast, pretty responsive with great battery life.
To use TWRP hit the volume down button when the led lights up pink. And to enter CWM hut the volume down key at the next led light up and vibration.
Note: TWRP and CWM are not the same when backing up or restoring, you will not be able to restore ones backup from another.
What works:
Twrp
Cwm
Flashing
Backup
Restore
Mount device partitions

A note on backup:
If you got any issue while making a nandroid backup, download the attachment, extract the file and move it to /sdcard/TWRP
If the check-box of .android_secure does not get displayed in Backup menu, go back and enter Mount Menu, unmount SD Card and mount it again. Go to Backup menu again and select Refresh Sizes. .android_secure will be visible now.

Kernel is Working TWRP working Wifi working GPS working Good
test on my Xperia T mod by zohaib0001
Boot successful! :good:
Testing other things now.
BTW, the /vendor partition is not /system/vendor. Need to modify init.semc.rc or else people will have issues with sound enhancements.
Vermagic string is indicating Serene-ICS!
EDIT: Damn, this thing has dual recovery! :cyclops:
Is this dual boot ? After I install modules(1).zip, after i touch 'reboot system', I end up in cwm again.
But after i reboot system (from that cwm menu), its back to TWRP again when i press vol down.
Anyway.. the wifi works, so far no facing problems. no bootloop etc.
In the info, it's still serene kernel.
* Kinda not used with this touch screen menu in twrp .
Nice work mate.

Yeah itll say that. I needed the .13 kernel as I wanted to base it on that, was away from my pc so I asked Rachit Rawat if I could use some files from his source and kernel. Its not supoosed to go into dual boot, may have added them by mistake to the new update. (Too early)

That would be awesome!
USB mount doesn't work. Is it me?
Recovery shows 3.2.0.0 but the app still reports it as 3.0.2.8 - is this for compatibility?
recovery works fine, thank you, but i noticed a tiny bug:
date of backup is wrong, it shows me 27.04.2011 instead of 27.05.2011

yep. same thing (like at 3.1.0.1)...
just made a nandroid restore and recovery can't mount /boot during restore.
It's probably why we can't ( for exemple ) flash a CM rom ( after nandroid stock rom ) play with it and if you want to return to stock rom using your backup you get a bootloop
Quite common (and annoying), that. Happens each time I've restored a CM NANDroid, have to restore, then reflash CM.
hi. just a noob question
can i use this recovery to flash all the roms for the optimus 2x. like modaco, cm7 and other modaco based custom roms. ?
i been reading the forums and there are so many recoveries. im kinda confused.
Yes you can.
There are only 2 types of recovery in reality, this type (external SD) and the one I built for internal SD use. If you're not sure what you need, pick the external one (unless you don't have an SD card).
bit of a noob..but cant seem to be able to install it. can someone give me a guide to install this with a mac thanks in advance
Hi
Clockwork Recovery v 4.0.0.2 for Galaxy Ace
v2:
- working nandroid backup/restore!
For now i've disabled backup/restore of boot and recovery partitions. Restore of DATA, CACHE and SYSTEM is working fine.
If you have JTAG and want to test restore of boot/recovery please PM me!.
- it's based on KPH firmware + root in adb (both in normal and recovery mode)
v1:
Tested:
- wipe Data/Factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- some options under advanced menu (to wipe)
- install zip from SDCard (tested on some file from UOT kitchen)
- reboot recovery
- mount USB storage (and other mount options) Better not try to format partitions from recovery yet - it could format them to ext4 for which we probably not have yet support in kernel.
Know bugs:
- poweroff sems to reboot phone
- problem with graphics (probably framebuffer is set to 24 or 32 bpp mode. There is also missing double buffer support in framebuffer - thats why we have 2 recovery screens). It'll be fixed - thanks to tj_style!!
Remember, I am not reponsible if you brick your phone. You're flashing this on your own risk.Not all options are tested!!!.
How to flash (v2):
1. Download file from here .
2. flash it as PDA with odin
Mirrors:
Multiupload (thanks to peeter123)
I've removed recovery.zip - it was recovery.img packed with zip, not update for apply using stock recovery.
To move in recovery:
- Volume up/down to move.
- Home (center key) to select item.
- Back to move back.
Where did you get this?

Hi
Today i managed to run the newest Clockwork Recovery on my Galaxy Ace. It has some problem with graphics (as you can see on screenshots).
I've tested following options (and for me they are working):
- wipe Data/Factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- some options under advanced menu (to wipe)
- install zip from SDCard (tested on some file from UOT kitchen)
- reboot recovery
- mount USB storage (and other mount options) Better not try to format partitions from recovery yet - it could format them to ext4 for which we probably not have yet support in kernel.

I've also managed to create nandroid backup of all partitions (boot,recovery,data and system) but not tried yet to restore them.
Phone info
In recovery mode (sorry for terrible image quality)
I've attached packed recovery.img. it's based on KPH firmware + root in adb (in both boot and recovery mode) + su binary.
Remember, I am not reponsible if you brick your phone. You're flashing this on your own risk.Not all options are tested.
How to flash:
1. take KPH firmware
2. extract CODE_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5
- tar xvf CODE_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5
3. replace recovery.img with attached file
4. pack it back
- tar -H ustar -c boot.img recovery.img data.rfs system.rfs >ODIN_FILE.tar
- md5sum -t ODIN_FILE.tar >>ODIN_FILE.tar
- mv ODIN_FILE.tar ODIN_FILE.tar.md5
5. flash it with odin
To move in recovery:
- Volume up/down to move.
- Home (center key) to select item.

Wiping partitions /system /data etc is very important without wiping it can cause many problems as I've done that many times with my ZTE Blade. But still I appriciate this greatly

Could You share what changed did you made to fix framebuffer problems ?? For now i've made some change found here to get 2 screens in recovery (was getting 4 before).
About backup, like i wrote, tested only creating. I have to set up correct size of all partitions in BoardConfig etc, Ace is my primary phone, so i don't want to brick it.
I've made some changes to recovery source (look into bmlutils/bmlutils.c - there are hardcoded paths to boot and recovery partitions, which on Ace are differend than those in code).
I've also used custom recovery_ui.c with custom key mapping.

I have PDA file for odin with it, but i've messed something with Superuser.apk and you must install it by hand (only Superuser.apk, su binnaries are fine). Maybe when i'll have some free time - i'm working and studying (now have exams) - i'll upload it, if someone won't do this before .

Sure, You can see on my github soon. I'm not yet pushing to my github now.
because the project of Cyanogenmod port and Clockworkmod port for Galaxy Mini is pending now until i have the Galaxy mini back, you can see the progress in this thread.
I've add the double buffering to clockworkmod source, since Galaxy mini kernel doesn't suppot that.
I hope we can colaborate to make clockworkmod is fully working, because the Galaxy Mini, Ace, Gio and Fit is using similiar environtment.
thx dude, i really need this.

It would be nice. As i see You have far more progress.
In my opinion it would be better to make it with only minimal changes (or even without) to android source (recovery etc), to keep it in synch with "mainline". Closer we keep(and less changes), longer we could have support.
Also getting rid of BML and use MTD (when we have sources for 2.3.4) would be great.

Great work mate. Maybe you can work together with nprussel who is also trying to run cwm on g ace
@formatting partitions, there is indeed no support for ext4 in kernel
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
Note: This has been deprecated in favour of LK for Xperia T
This kernel image is based on stock using the FreeXperia ramdisk method of loading stock and recovery. It also includes the new FOTA partition trick by Dees_Troy for easy updates in the future to TWRP.
Dees_Troy and I worked on figuring out the reason recovery binaries would not load on the stock kernel without patches, fixed this up in bionic, and rebuilt recovery linked against the fixed bionic.
F.A.Q
Q. The title says TWRP and CWM but when I boot recovery I only see TWRP. How do I get CWM?
A. TWRP is the default recovery, if you want CWM you should download the CWM update.zip in the second post and flash it with twrp.
Technical Info
In 3.4 Qualcomm have changed the fb_var_screeninfo struct slightly. They have added an extra field called colorspace which increases the size of the stuct by __u32. When a binary linked against bionic tries to pass a struct the size of the old fb_var_screeninfo to kernelspace the application breaks as the kernel is expecting more data than it was given.
The patch to fix this in kernel solves the problem by removing one of the reserved fields, bringing the struct back to the same size it was prior to the new field being added. While this keeps compatibility with older recovery binaries, it does introduce the problem of needing a custom kernel to run recovery. Sony have not yet released source for 9.1.A.0.489 which means the kernel cannot be rebuilt without issues such as WiFi not working. The patch that Dees_Troy applied to the build system was to add the new colorspace field into the header for bionic which means the new recovery binary can run on an unmodified stock Sony kernel.
Flashing
Boot device in fastboot mode:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Flash image with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot mint489stock.img
Source for TWRP available from here.
Updates:
1. Updated image in first post to fix bug where creating a backup would fail and crash twrp.
2. Updated first post to show CWM in title and answer questions about how to get CWM.
Flashable zips:
In the first post it is mentioned about using the FOTAKernel trick by Dees_Troy to offer easy updates. The 2 zips attached to this post are examples of the ease of use.
flashCWM.zip - This will flash CWM to the FOTAKernel and replace TWRP as your recovery.
flashTWRP.zip - This will flash TWRP to the FOTAKernel and replace TWRP that is built into the image that was flashed to your device by fastboot, or to replace CWM with TWRP again if you used the flashCWM.zip
This also makes updates easier as you do not need to replace the kernel image you currently have flashed to your device.

Yes, wifi does work because it is just the stock kernel with TWRP added. I am running it right now with no problems.
I thought so, but I just wanted to make it obvious to all users as it was not 100% clear from the OP. I didnt have time to flash myself and check as I was just abbout to leave for work, now I am at work I will also flash it....

hi,
i wanted to create with this version a backup, but it doesn't work.
it was just created the folder system,
the other folders such as data and boot not.
the created folder system, that was created after backup, is empty.
the 'backup' also takes only a few seconds, then the 'backup' is done.
what have i done?
installed the .img with instructions above.
boot xt into recovery, push backup, select system, data & boot, choose destination folder and start backup.
where is my failure?

Thank you very much, this is the best message of day.
Just flashed new image
Doing a backup and it seems to work...will update in few minutes when it is finished
EDIT:
It works
Backup complete in 385 seconds
FYI,
both times on rebooting system from recovery I initially got the grey triangle, both times it was only for 10-15 seconds before the phone rebooted...
Testing it now ....
Edit:
[Backup completed in 461 seconds] External SD card with compression on. No Grey triangle for me.
[Restore completed in 192 seconds] Restored backup without any problems. No grey triangle on second reboot either.
Seems to work great for me.
(only clock seems to be incorrect. 7 hours and 16 minutes behind)
Edit 2: thirth boot up seems to get stuck on grey triangle for about 15 seconds
Edit 3: Seems only the first time reboot after using the recovery the grey triangle is there. Rebooted the phone 4 times and only got the triangle 1 time.
Updated first and second post
USB storage does not work at all both on TWRP and CWM
tested 2nd version, works fine for me & no grey triangle :good:

This appears to be more of a technical limitation.
The internal storage space is formatted ext4, so only linux would be able to mount that by default so it doesn't offer that.
With the MicroSD the issue seems to be a little more complex and may possibly need a custom kernel.

Thanks for the reply I guess we just have to wait for the kernel sources to be published
Besides another issue - in CWM wiping dalvik-cache does not work.

I can't reproduce this, if I wipe dalvik-cache in CWM it removes /data/dalvik-cache as it should.
Hey there! It has been a while..
You may have noticed Team Win Recovery Project (short: TWRP) is available, but still not for our device,
and it seems I am the only one who spends time on making TWRP fully compatible
for our device which includes some bug fixes and modifications.
Both, TWRP and the kernel were compiled on my pc, using OS X Yosemite (10.10) as host system
from CM sources.
Use at your own risk.
I am not responsible for any damages on your device.

What is TWRP?
A fully touch driven custom recovery developed by TeamWin with a nice and easy to use user interface.
You can install your ROM's, backup it or restore it from/on your internal or external storage.
Backups can be compressed which saves alot of storage space and backups can have an individual,
user chosen name. Some unique features are an integrated filemanager, shell access,
rooting and the option to set a display timeout and display brightness.
TWRP includes alot of more features that I listed.. just explore yourself.
Download (also check the #Download page):
recovery263.img => TWRP 2.6.3.0 (STABLE)
recovery283_1.img => TWRP 2.8.3.0 (BETA)
For developers and for GPL reasons:
gkernel_x3_defconfig.zip => Used kernel defconfig (no kernel sourcecode changes have been made except mac os x specific kernel building fixes)
Sources (using cm10.2 sourcecode with cm p880 kernel):
p880_device: https://bitbucket.org/supergordon/device_lge_p880
p880_recovery_twrp: https://bitbucket.org/supergordon/twrp_lge_p880
p880_kernel: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-p880
How do I install TWRP on my unlocked device?
Option 1: Fastboot
Code:
adb reboot oem-unlock
fastboot flash recovery recovery263.img
fastboot reboot
Option 2: ADB (put first the recovery image to the root directory of your internal storage)
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /sdcard/recovery263.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
What device specific changes have been made?
Reboot options now properly working
Use CM's device specific fix to blank the display
Add missing external storage display name
Add missing screen brightness path
Modified display dimming delay
Fix rendering bugs that caused high battery consumption and device heat-ups
Add proper handling of the quadcore. Reduces backup time by about 10%.
UMS support (external storage only)
Since 2.6.3.0:
Using cm10.2 source
Using cm kernel
Exclude wiping sd-ext (bugfix for 2.6.1.0)
Since 2.8.3.0:
Now using twrp.fstab
Remove UMS support (TWRP has now MTP support. both internal and external storage are shown on the PC)
Add data/media[/0] button in Advanced page. Pressing the button toggles between /data/media and /data/media/0
Added missing option to (not) backup/restore recovery partition.
SD-Ext support (secondary partition of your microsd has to be ext4 formatted)
Using twrp sources from 30 december 2014

Thanks awesome! i really like twrp much more than cwm.
Is it possible that Fix Permissions is not working? it takes about a second to finish, with cwm it was 5 to 10 minutes.
Thanks!
Fastboot mode :
cannot load 'recovery.img': No error
Why?
Thx

Recovery.img is not in your fastboot directory. I'm 100 percent sure

be sure you change to the directory where you stored recovery.img at your terminal(linux, osx)/command prompt(windows) with the "cd" command.
Thx guys
@gordon0001:
How is the development of the next version of GBootmenu going on? I am really looking forward to see TWRP 2.5.0.0 and CWM 6.0.3.1 in just one menu.
Thanks for TWRP 2.5.0.0! Good work!
Thanks gordon0001. Will make flashing and everything else a lot easier. Installed using the All in one P880 kit.
Have a good weekend!

Hey!
Nice to see you like my work, but this thread is about TWRP and not GBootMenu. Post your questions about my other work in the correspondending release thread.

Thank you!
The all in one kit installs an outdated, dangerous to use, version of TWRP.
Please install the new, updated version of TWRP or your hardware could be damaged.
Instructions can be found in the first post #1.

I forgot to add that I replaced the old one with your one in the toolkit's data files (just renamed the v2.5 to whatever the toolkit was using and deleted the old one).
Thanks for the concern though. Currently loving archived backups
TWRP is damn good! more functions, faster backup/restore etc., thanks!
Thanks for your work .. I love the recovery so much .. Thumbs up
Loving the touch,everything works as it should

CTR Recovery for Galaxy A5
Hi all,
I've ported CTR Recovery from the developer carliv (now bluefirebird) on our Galaxy A5.
This recovery is based on the old CWM, by koush, with some features you can find in the original post HERE, so if you are tired of the TWRP recovery and u are looking for something similar to the old CWM, don't hesitate to download this
NOTE: It should work in any A500 variant, but it's tested only on SM-A500FU variant, so flash on other variants at your own risk!
Desclaimer:

[NEW] CTR with CWM graphics section
Well, since CWM support ended with cm-11.0, and no one resurrected it, I've decided to give my contributo to the best recovery (in my opinion) which written the begin of android customization, for flashing zip roms, take nandroid backups... So, as I said, since no one resurrected it, I've decided to modify ctr sources, which are based on CWM recovery and which are compilable in cm-12.1 and cm-13.0, for creating a recovery which has, CTR features, but which really like the old CWM.
-So, what does this version offer?
~If you want to know what does it include, please see read this (green highlighted text)
NOTE: If you want to compile with cwm recovery you need my fork which you can find here:
https://github.com/DeadSquirrel01/carliv_touch_recovery_new only cm-12.1 branch for the moment
Then you need to add in BoardConfig.mk (in the device tree) the following flag:
USE_CWM_GRAPHICS := true
otherwise it will compile standard CTR
Flashing instuctions:
Look at "HOW TO FLASH" section
Download Link: Same as CTR recovery link, but you have to download the ones wich have a name which begins with "[CWM]"
OTHER NOTE: Since I've compiled CTR with CWM graphich with an half crapped cm-12.1 source tree, and adb doesn't work (except in sideload), I couldn't take screenshot, so, I've uploaded some photos, instead, which are taken with my ~4 years ago Samsung Galaxy Pocket, so don't flame me for bad quality , and since I tried to upload in attachments, but it doen't show the photo when clicking on the attachment, I've upload a zip with 4 screenshots
HERE (Google Drive Link)

Changelog
03/09/2016 (update N2):
_ Add menu color change: you can now change highligh+text color to 3 different colors: blue (default), green or orange.
See my github commit for info, I wrote some awesome comments
06/10/2017 (Update N3):
_Save menu color setting to /sdcard/clockworkmod/cwm_config, so that it's not lost on reboot, resulting a recovery which has always the blue color, even if the user has chosen orange or green.
Thanks for this contribution, try it just have time. For now, I walk with your version of TWRP working well. This CTR Recovery is compatible for install ROMs Marshmallow (Base Stock and CM13 Based)? Cheers.
Thank you DeadSquirrel01 it works perfectly on my A500G running stock marshmallow 6.0.1. Great work

Thanks bro, unfortunately I have not been able to prove that the screen of my Galaxy A5 is broken and the phone is unusable for now, but I have already shared this Post on Facebook Group so that other users go testing, any news will be reporting here.

Nice Recovery.. Succesfully rooted my stock 6.0.1 by flashing supersu (you can flash this file to root on any android which have custom recoveries) on this recovery. It is like stock recovery but with a lot of features.
@DeadSquirrel01 works well on A500F (Duos). Also i tried to get stuck in recovery mode with no succes . So i can say it`s better than twrp. I was waiting for this moment since i got the phone . Many many thanks! Cheers!
LE: Wait a second... So how this recovery has almost 3 months and isn`t that known?
LE2: Some feedback - mount usb storage doesn`t do anything (yes i have sdcard). Also no adb support. So is kinda impossible to push files into phone while it`s in recovery...

Personally i`m more with CWM.. Simple and yet so complex. TWRP is a bit more polished on the UI side, but that bug that keeps me in the recovery drives me crazy [emoji35] . This CTR recovery it`s able to reset the flag and push the device out of recovery... So it`s better IMO.
Anyway i read here and there that Nougat based roms can be flashed in CWM 6.0.5.x so i`ll try to port Philz latest recovery on our device, since i had it for years on my retired devices. Thanks for all your work and for the source!
LE: Sideload doesn`t work since adb isn`t enabled on the recovery..

Thanks... It`s on my todo list but i don`t have enough time to do anything now. About the adb - shouldn`t be same thing? What`s the difference between adb in linux and windows? Wait to switch linux to test. Could also be something specific to my device since you made the recovery for FU and i have F.. Cheers!
So i rebooted in linux and here`s the output:
Code:
[email protected] ~ $ adb devices
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
[email protected] ~ $ adb shell
error: insufficient permissions for device
And when tryin` to Mount USB Mass storage this is the output:
Code:
Error mounting /dev/sr1 at /media/hades/671D-12F5: Command-line `mount -t "vfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,utf8=1,showexec,flush" "/dev/sr1" "/media/hades/671D-12F5"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: /dev/sr1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/sr1: can't read superblock
I have 32gb class 10 sdcard formatted as fat32.. And from what i see it tries to mount as vfat, this for sure is from the fstab..
Any ideas?

Since it's a recovery it works with any a500xx variant (same chipset ) and also it's the same thing with roms for example on my pac-rom rom noone said it doesn't boot on a500xx. Regarding adb, bad drivers i think
I don't know how much i can thank you, when i use TWRP my phone won't boot into the system but it works perfectly with this recovery

What I like in it is while I am in this recovery and my phone is charging, and I select reboot, it boot to the system unlike other recovery.
I had installled custom ROMs, Flashed kernel image, and used ADB sideload so far
