This recovery is an older port. For a source build version see this thread
UNOFFICIAL CWM 6.0.1.2 non-touch
NOTICE: I am not responsible for your device!
NOTE: This CWM was ported from VZW SGS3
I have successfully ported CWM to our device. It is NOT an official release, nor is it built from source.. I'm still working on that one. BUT, for now, we have this. This has been tested on my device. I've successfully made a backup, wiped everything, and restored. Device is still alive
YOU MUST BE ROOTED!
How to flash:
1. Download CWM 6.0.1.2 to the root of your SD Card -- *old thread*
2. From Terminal emulator or ADB do the following:
From ADB
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery
From Terminal
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery
Congratulations! You should now have a functional CWM recovery.
Once you got custom, NEVER accept an OTA!. Verizon released an OTA for the SCH-I705 that makes changes to recovery, boot, and aboot, THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BREAK YOUR ROOT AND UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! DO NOT ACCEPT!
TO RETURN TO STOCK RECOVERY
Follow the same procedures above, except flash this recovery instead of the CWM recovery.
*Old thread*
Thanks to:
ruben00 - for helping me out with repacking
invisiblek - for his mkbootimg cmdline values, they worked!
Whoever built the GS3 recovery I ported.. Can't remember for the life of me.
Good work. Wish I could test.
Wonder if mobile Odin would work to flash this like on the other gt2 models.
i just tryed it. it worked perfectly. thanks.. your the man. now when i get home on Monday from the honeymoon. i will build a kernel for it. need a little more speed.

Is there a new thread you guys are working out of? I haven't seen any activity in awhile. Your probably just busy.. I just want to stay in the loop!
Thanks, Nexttonomy
I've been really busy and haven't had a whole lot of time this week. I've also moved most of the work to PMs between a few people.

Yes, using titanium you can freeze SDM.
Green icon with a phone and up arrow. Freeze or uninstall with titanium and verizon won't know what hit em.

No, VZW Tab 2 only. Only ever flash a recovery built for your device.
Just got word.. That update was nothing important. Other then. It was only for wifi pop up screen.. And data usage software.. Just more bull **** for Verizon running the battery down..

Hey guys, I'm not sure if many of you know who jt is, but he's been developing on samsung devices since the fascinate. He's done great work on both the device mentioned and the samsung galaxy tab org. If he had the galaxy tab 2 and some beer, you can bet your ass he would get some work done on it.
I'll put in 20. Anyone else down for raising some money to get this dude a device?
All do respect. These tablets around 350 bucks. And there Really not that many owners on here. So the goal would never be reached. Just hang in there. Few of us development people are working on this. Should have something with in a month.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of cash to spare. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a wedding after that all just within three months for me. Great offer though!
However, do you think he'd mind lending a helping hand by giving us some advice/input?
Anybody got a link to the origional build released on the verizon galaxy tab 2? Need to downgrade to gain root I think.
Month came and went. Still nothing. LOL

you can install ota's with custom recovery btw
its messing with anything on system that causes installs to fail
I'm assuming these methods are for MDC and not MDL correct?

I've always had it fail with custom recovery. And I don't usually uninstall system apps. I'll note that in the video though! Thanks.

in the old days ota's used to wipe everything and reinstall the rom, thus removing root. since gingerbread all they use is patch files, thankfully too. could you imagine a 1.5GB "ota"? it checks the hash of all the files its going to be updating, if it needs to update modem and you have a diff modem then it will fail, if you removed an apk it needs it will fail etc.
its why cwm/oudhs will detect if teh su binary has been altered with permissions and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh as they tend to be teh results of otas
Thanks boy.!
Awsome i was waiting for this.! thanks dev.! great :highfive:

Am I understanding this correctly? So if we've rooted and installed a custom recovery but everything else is stock we can accept an OTA without breaking root?

Everytime I tried to flash the ota it failed at the flashing point. I'm thinking it was due to the kernal being changed in my root process. I used OUDHS recovery method. ... Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong which I might be.

Really, you have done a great job. I have seen all of your videos, but I did not find anything, which is needed to change. Superb !!.. It helps many people who have a galaxy S4. Thanks a lot for sharing such a helpful thing.

If you didn't remove the stock bloat then you'd need to throw the stock recovery back on.
Have already seen the ota fail with twrp and oudhs.
(That's if you really want the ota to work)

as i explained earlier, the only way a ota will pass while you use custom recovery to flash it, is normally if you have custom recovery and root and thats all. alter system in any way and you risk the ota not going. replacing the kernel is guaranteed way to make them fail, almost every ota ever has included a new kernel update.

I'm using an AT&T HTC One & as in the title, I'm wondering if there it's a way to install SU & TWRP without a computer of any kind. I already have the bootloader unlocked but that's as far as I was able to get before I had to give up the computer. I'm still S-On as well so if anyone can tell me how to get my phone rooted with a recovery from my device, that'd be amazing! And if I could get S-Off as well, that'd he even better. Thanks so much for any advice.

Might be able to do that using ROM Manager, not sure.
Yea, i thought maybe as well but I t needs root first to be able to flash the recovery. Thanks fir the reply

Try Goomanager and install the recovery that way?
Thank you. I tried that &it says "recovery is installed" but when I go into bootloader & try to reboot into recovery I get nothing so apparently it didn't install after all

Read this article http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...ve-and-maybe-almost-any-other-current-device/
If it works, get your little butt back here and tell us.
This seems like Iit would only be for a device on AT&T or Verizon. I'm hesitant to attempt this method on my flex. I would be OK with giving it a go if I had a back up phone JIC
Autoprime posted this in his root thread. Should work for any device before June third. 4.3

I just tried rooting my g flex D950G Rogers Canada Variant on 4.2.2 with this tool and it worked! Haven't tried installing a custom recovery yet but i have installed xposed and gravity box and its confirmed working
I'm about to try this for myself. I plan on using an existing CWM (I'm on 4.2.2), flashing stock KK, and rooting with Towelroot. Will I lose my CWM?
this works on my flex d958( kitkat) , great work
Works on my AT&T G Flex.
I got a buddy that's been waiting on root method for his AT&T GS5 on 4.4.2 and he tried it today with success. Just download the apk and click "make it rain".

This worked on my phone as well.
That is, ATT LG G Flex 4.4.2.

Cool, glad to see this worked. We need a freaking recovery now so we can flash zip files.
Why do we not have a recovery for this? I dunno jack about making the recovery etc just curious.

If you root with this method ,can you unroot just uninstalling the apk or not ?
I'm pretty sure it just roots using an exploit once. After you run towelroot, it shouldn't matter if it stays installed.

No only with apk.
You must download SuperUser from market and go to the option root uninstall. You run it and you are unroot.

I want to use my T-Mo note 4 for USB keyboard

when contacted dev, he suggests to use his patch

for making the kernel compatible.
Can anyone tell me or help me making this, or is there one already working? If so please help me get that if it can work.

I'm no expert, but I don't think that patch will work for the Note 4. Did you tell the dev you were using a N4?

yeah. told note 4.
he was not sure, and he suggested to get help from xda. someone could make some tweaks or something to make it work. would be much happy.
it is easy when using keepass using a plugin where we can send password without needing to type in.
