[RECOVERY] Official CWM Recovery 6.0.4.7 for Nexus 4; revert recovery disabler

As there is now an official version of CWM Recovery I updated this thread now. Thanks to everyone who used my version and helped me. I will keep on what I'm doing and maybe there will be other interesting things I will release.
The official CWM Recovery by Koush can be downloaded here:
Images to flash via fastboot
touch-version: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-mako.img
nontouch-version: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-mako.img
Flashable zips
touch-version: https://www.mediafire.com/?nx826v1jo0bdqdj
nontouch-version: https://www.mediafire.com/?69kmvtcvgooc0gv
For the fastboot images:
You can try this out and boot it via
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork(-touch)-6.0.4.7-mako.img
(only Android 4.2.X)
Code:
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery-clockwork(-touch)-6.0.4.7-mako.img
(Android 4.3 and above)
If you want to flash it you can use
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork(-touch)-6.0.4.7-mako.img
If you have the touch-version use this commands without '(' and ')' but with its content.
If you have the nontouch-version use this commands without '(' and ')' and its content-
Outdated as all new recoveries already provide this function.
I also want to present you my revert recovery disabler.
As you know if you flash CWM on Nexus 4 it reverts back to the stock recovery. This patch prevents this. This is not needed at the moment for CWM as CWM offers the possibly to disable the revert by itself.
You can download my revert recovery disabler here: http://www.mediafire.com/?78fkhdh5icz3zdg
This disabler is compatible with mskip's toolkit (uses the same methode).
To use it boot in CWM recovery and flash this as a zip.
If you want to restore the default option and make your Nexus 4 reverting back to the stock recovery you can flash the enabler: http://www.mediafire.com/?19enww985e2gpnc
Thanks to:
Stryder5 providing some information
Kstarz for some testing and providing information
mskip for his toolkit and giving me the idea to do this
pankaj88 for his sample update zip
Old thread said:
I just want to release my CWM Touch Recovery for the Nexus 4.
This version also allows to flash zips from internal storage (and hopefully other storage related stuff).
If you want to you can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?f9b9av06ui5vcdm (UPDATED 11/16/2012)
Using it is at your own risk!
Please test it first via
Code:
fastboot boot cwm-recovery-mako.img
Flashing is not supported at the moment as secured boot prevents from booting flashed recovery. Please note that you need an unlocked bootloader.
For reverting back to original recovery use this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?57zmq7yw089gcr8 (not needed at the moment as only booted recovery works at the moment)
Thanks to:
Stryder5 for testing and providing some information
Kstarz for testing and providing some information
Also thanks to Koush for creating CWM Recovery and to the other devs for Nexus 4 making it a really good device.
If you have any questions ask below. I will rework this post later the day.

To clarify, I can confirm the boot method will allow you to boot the recovery and flash a zip file. I did not attempt to flash this as my recovery yet.
---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------
I tried to flash the recovery instead of booting from it, but that doesn't work. I ran the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery cwm-recovery-mako.img
When I try to boot into recovery after that, it'll show the Google logo twice, then proceed with the regular boot.
I think this is because Secure Boot is still enabled.
Same thing here..recovery will not stick if flashed

What RAMDISK load address are you using? 0x81200000?
Thanks to the tip by Stryder5, I have updated my rooting guide with instructions for rooting via CWM, linking to this thread for the recovery and providing the due credit. =)

If I could I would provide you that information but as I only used the CWM's online builder I can't tell you that. If you need some information you can pm me
To all: As there is a new update in the sources I am currently syncing the sources and building an new version. Furthermore I am working on a possibility to make the CWM permanent (and easy to do so even without root; I know already what I have to do).

No problem at all. Just give credits and use it. This is a touch recovery.
If koush will release CWM for Nexus 4 it won't be different to this (except he changes some sources).

As I built it this afternoon (GMT+1) it is V6.0.1.5 with the latest bugfix which was released today.
Man I can't wait to see some custom ROM's outta here. The phone is sweet and snappy but I've had a few problems that I'm not sure if they're hardware or software related. Quadrant scores are around 4400-4900, the phone rings hot and I'm getting the worst speed test results. Like I get 11-18 MBS on my gs2 and I'm getting like 2-3mbs now. I got two weeks before I can return it so I hope it just needs to stettle. Anyhoo. Good luck guys!

Sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought this bugfix would allow us to flash the recovery in our devices, then I realized that the bugfix was what let us boot it, as you said a few messages back. Anyway, there you have the official build link.
Can somebody please explain, in simple terms, why we can't flash this permanently yet? What do we need to enable us to flash it permanently?

[RECOVERY] TWRP Recovery 2.8.5.0 - Thor

NEW: YOU SHOULD UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER : http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...tools-create-unlock-img-fix-boot-img-t3050689
Hi !
Since @vortox found and created an unlock method (!) for our devices (see original development section) you'll find here twrp recovery for the 7" kindle fire hdx (Thor).
WARNING
THIS OPERATION IS DANGEROUS
THE ONLY WAY TO RECOVER FROM A RECOVERY PROBLEM IS TO HAVE A WORKING SYSTEM ROM
Installation (from stock rom)
Be sure to have a rooted, 7" hdx with firmware <= 13.3.2.3 (for bootloader compatibility)
Use an application from the market to flash the recovery image like Rashr or Flashify (from vortox)
OR use dd application from a root shell : "dd of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery if=/sdcard/twrp.img"
Installation (from twrp)
Flash zip file from twrp recovery...
Download
Please see @ggow thread for up to date recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...ecovery-twrp-recovery-2-8-1-0-apollo-t2991155
Thanks
@vortox for the exploit !

Hi !
Since an unlock method seems to be coming to our devices (see original development section) you'll find here a twrp recovery for the kindle hdx (Thor). I will try to compile an Apollo version as soon as an unlock method is reveled. (Or @ggow will do it )
Oups I'm sorry I didn't fully read the unlock thread. The recovery need to be patched to run so I removed the link for now. The recovery was sent to the right person, well see !

Hi !
First post updated with download link ! I'm unable to test the recovery myself as i own an unlocked device so thanks to wait for some experienced users to report back. If the recovery is not working for you then you can boot to your system rom and restore your backed up recovery from there...
Thanks to @vortox again and happy new year !

Do you have to be on stock rom or would it work with safestrap and nexus 2.2 on stock slot?
Sent from my A0001
It should work from any rom/configuration as soon as you have root and a rom <= 3.2.4 (version to be confirmed).
I tried applying the recovery with flashify on 3.2.4 and it hasn't worked as far as I can tell, though I didn't remove safestrap yet. It just gets stuck on grey kindle fire logo 9/10 boots then finally gets into safestrap. Don't really want to remove my only safety net unless it's confirmed I have to.

Did you try to power on the device with volume up to trigger the recovery ? Else maybe 3.2.4 is too late for the recovery sig exploit.
Yeah I tried that, no effect.
I'll downgrade to 3.2.1 later today.

Cool thanks, let us know !
Looks like you butchered the original post while you were editing.
I just downgraded to 13.3.1.0 so I'm ready to test it out. But —before proceeding — how do you backup the stock recovery?
It's not working on 3.2.4, but works atleast at 3.1.0. I didn't test other versions.
I ended up finding an app on the Play Store to backup the recovery.
Anyways, I can now also confirm that this works on 13.3.1.0.

Ho crap :/ This is the worst part for me and I screwed it ^^
Should I uninstall safestrap before flashing the recovery?
Is it just me, or does the screen have a yellowish tint while in recovery mode?

I do not seems to have the problem here but its possible that we need to update the adreno fw in the persist partition. You'll have a better visibility when you'll try CM to be sure.

[TWRP][EXPERIMENTAL] suzuran twrp 3.0

Hello people,
I was able to successfully build twrp 3.0 for suzuran (our device, duh!) and thought I'd share the recovery.img so you can test and see what works and what doesn't.
The recovery was built in a CM13 similar environment (PAC), so there might be some issues when working with stock kernel.
Since this is an experimental build (I tested main functionalities and they work, but didn't get down to the nitty-gritty), here's a small disclaimer:
By flashing or booting the attached recovery you're risking damaging you device, or losing the data on your device!
Neither I nor anyone else but YOU is responsible should any bad unintended problems appear!
If you're feeling adventurous then feel free to flash the recovery.img (along with Androplus kernel) and try the sweetness that is TWRP 3.0 :good:
Download link:
April 3, 2016 (3.0.1)
March 25, 2016
March 21, 2016
March 12, 2016
Known issues:
Temperature reading is botched
Crypto might not be working, like AT ALL
usb connection doesn't work (only if you use this recovery with Androplus kernel)
There could be more problems, which is why this is EXPERIMENTAL for now
And now let's get to the sources!
kernel:
[url]https://github.com/oshmoun/kernel/tree/aosp/LA.BF64.1.2.2_rb4.7[/URL]
device sources:
[url]https://github.com/oshmoun/device-sony-suzuran/tree/master[/URL]
[url]https://github.com/oshmoun/device-sony-kitakami/tree/master[/URL]
[url]https://github.com/SonyCM/device-sony-common/commits/cm-13.0[/URL]
And now to thank the people who helped in this endeavor:
TWRP team for the awesome recovery!
@nilezon for the TWRP flags (which I still need to go through to check if I missed/need anything, especially crypto flags...)
FXP team for device sources, Especially @adfad666
All of the Sony AOSP contributors, they're awesome people!

Also, are you sure you're not FLASHING the recovery.img? You need to just BOOT it directly from fastboot

this is really weird, did the MM update also change something in the bootloader in an inconvenient way?
Could you try the other recovery.img from nilezon's thread? If that boots using "fastboot boot recovery.img" then we'll know the problem is somewhere in the .img itself

I flash Android 5.1 and try your TWRP3.0, still stuck at SONY logo(with no LED light).
Z5C_TWRP_152_v2_nilezon can work on 5.1.

Thanks! Guess the issue lies in the MM update somewhere.
You just said that nilezon's recovery works on 5.1, but did you try it after flashing 5.1, or are you basing that statement on previous tests?
The issue here might be that you didn't downgrade the bootloader when you flashed 5.1 again, which would mean the issue will persist.
Hello,
I tried booting(didn't flash) with MM and it seemed to boot into recovery fine. Used it to do a cache wipe, but afterwards phone is stuck on boot screen. I can turn it off with power + volume, but it doesn't seem like I can go back to fast boot.

nope, not your problem, it's everyone's
seems like my twrp version just refuses to boot sometimes.
Was able to successfully replicate the fastboot issue on 5.1 bootloader, so it's definitely this recovery.
Now the question is if it's a TWRP 3 issue, or just in the way I built it
EDIT: I guess this post answers my question
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65808636&postcount=137
another twrp 3 recovery is having the same issue
guess I'll have to make this recovery flashable in order for it to work properly
EDIT 2: wow, Androplus kernel seems to go well with TWRP 3. Updated first post with new instructions on how to use this.

[RECOVERY][ROOT][TWRP 3.3.1-1]Samsung Galaxy A3(2015) SM-A300F/FU/G/H/M

Unofficial release -TWRP recovery for the Galaxy A3 - SM-A300F/FU/G/H/M, Qualcomm MSM8916
https://twrp.me/site/update/2019/05/22/twrp-3.3.1-0-released.html
*SEANDROID warning fix
*Recovery reboot fix
*MTP fix
*Modem, APNHLOS, EFS and Recovery partition backup
You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.
Instructions:
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot:
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
Flash with TWRP:
Extract the recovery.img from the tar archive then in TWRP select Install>>Install image.
twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-a300

DEVICE TREE: soon
NOTE: ON SOME ANDROID 5.1.1 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.

It could, but better to flash it with TWRP or ODIN.

Wait... what? Flash this version of TWRP, using an older version of TWRP? Does that really work?

Obviously.
I stumbled on an issue. TWRP boots fine, but no touch input. Reboot issue seems to remain IF one "reboot to recovery" from the system. Everything works find under the hood, connected through adb without any issue.

Reflashing the .tar weirdly gets rid of the reboot to recovery issue, wonder if any flag is being reset...

Looking at the recovery log it seems there is an issue loading the graphics, so I have reverted one of the flags that I think is causing the issue.

NOTE: I will not support any posts related to flashing with Flashify, this app has issues with some devices. ODIN(prefered), TWRP and the DD method is fine.

you are welcome buddy!
Thanks alot, I'd love to have TWRP 3.0.2 on stock rom.
But I can seem to get it to work, tried on a customized US an a customized DE stock image, latest version.
Doesn't boot on either, screen stays black when I try to turn on the tablet.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so send me your kernel.sin from the firmware.

Yes bootloader is unlocked. kernel.sin for Custom DE attached (SGP612_Customized DE_1290-4946_23.5.A.1.291_R2D)
I don't get it to work either. SGP611, using SGP611_23.5.A.1.291_1290-0168_R4D customized UK. Won't boot, only flashes its red little light. Did you find any solution to it? Would be awesome to get this kernel.
Hi,
Have I sent you the correct file? Did you get the time to have a look at it?
No stress, just wonderin :angel:
is there a way to unlock bootloader using kinds of special hardware (like HTC xtc2clip)
(thanks O2 for locking the bootloader -_-)
Hey
Something new about black screen ?
Same problem here.
SGP621
Thank you

If you are getting a black screen after flashing the kernel, just force restart the device. Then the device will boot fine.
Could a version of this be build with the device name "scorpion"? It won't let me install this ROM since the device name doesn't match (it seems to be empty in this image whereas that ROM requires it to be "scorpion").
Edit: nevermind, figured out I can modify the script in side the ROM to remove the check instead.
Thanks for a working TWRP for my old tablet

This kernel is only for SGP621. It's clearly mentioned in OP.
Think you!
Not easy for an old man, but after several times it went perfect.
Not able to tell you what I did exactly but I have SGP621, french 6.01.
SGP612 boot.img
Hi,
I made a boot.img for the SGP612 [6.0.1] [23.5.A.1.291] unlocked BL.
Sony RIC disabled
TWRP 3.0.2
(DRM fix)
Root and Xposed is NOT included. I recommend flashing Magisk v12 later in TWRP and enable Magisk Core Only Mode and Magisk Hide in the settings. Then it will pass the SafetyNet test and you can use su.
To flash the boot.img, put your SGP612 into fastboot mode (Volume Up + connect USB) and then run:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If you have a backup of your TA partition, before you unlocked, see the rootkernel thread by tobias.waldvogel, how the DRM fix works.
Thanks to codfx for give me the idea for a SGP612 counterpart and to tobias.waldvogel for his tool :good:
