[APP] Flash Image GUI - Flash Kernels and Recoveries from normal Android mode!

Credits:
birbeck for the usual random java guidance, slushpupie for his previous java guidance, dodgejcr for extreme amounts of testing, and one_love_420 and shift for some great graphics!
testers: JT-, couga6442, happytweak and many others I might have forgot in the furry of three days I built the initial app from scratch.!
Thanks to SDX
Background:
flash_image (bmlwrite) is an extremely useful utility for flashing custom kernels, boot logos and recoveries. This binary has made it possible to easily flash all these items and is used almost everywhere behind the scenes (i.e. in custom recoveries, packaged into kernel /sbin, etc).
Description:
This Android App is a GUI interface for the linux binary, flash_image provided by google in AOSP for loading custom kernels and recovery images onto the phone.
This app allows the flashing of kernels and recovery images in normal android mode.
No recovery or adb needed!
HTC EVO support includes flashing of anykernel type .zip files, boot.img type zip files and recovery.img files!
Current Device Support:
Full Kernel, Logo and Recovery flashing: Samsung Moment, Transform, Intercept and Acclaim - the s3c6410 series of devices
Full Kernel (Anykernel and boot.img) Flashing and Recovery flashing: HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO, Nexus S/Nexus S 4G & LG Optimus
Full Kernel (zImage) Flashing: Samsung Epic
Full Recovery Flashing: HTC Shift (need testers for kernel flashing)
Future Support:
Looking for feedback regarding making the app more user friendly or simplier to use for the HTC EVO. Thanks!
Install Directions:
Install process is the same as any other .apk. Download to computer and adb push or mount sdcard on computer and copy over or download directly to the phone. Use any file manager, adb, connectbot/terminal emulator to install.
My preferred method, maybe a bit technical: adb install c:\downloads\FlashImageGUI.apk
Download Locations
Market (99 cents!): Flash Image GUI
Release versions (free from my personal hosting): Flash Image GUI
Contact:
Any questions, comments, concerns, or issues, please post in this thread or send me an email! Thanks for all the help and support!
FAQ:
Q: Will this app support a marketplace to pick and chose kernels from?
A: No. Use Kernel Manager!

So this can be used to flash boot animations as well?

Wow, joey, that sounds pretty awesome!
So if I flash to a different kernel from the app will the phone reboot itself? I'm guessing it would have to because your phone would have to rebuild the Dalvik cache after the app wiped it to install the new kernel...
And if that's the case, is it a hot restart? I know if you do a hot reboot with 4G enabled sometimes it breaks the 4G.
Anyway just some questions, gonna download the app and give it a shot. Thanks for sharing! Hope you don't get flamed for posting in the wrong section, I think an app like this belongs in the dev section.

Do you have some decent error checking in this to prevent users from flashing something stupid? I know you can't prevent everything, and I'm looking forward to some "lols I flashed a radio to my boot image and now it won't work!"
Anyway, cool app. Kind of like Kernel Manager, but with some extra sauce on the side.

Great question. Originally I viewed loading boot animations as out of scope for tihs app as the boot animation is generally a single .zip file stored in /data/local or /system/media. Flash_image was designed by google to load images into specific partitions on the phone, i.e. boot (kernel), recovery, etc. Some phones varied in what was stored in the partitions but I don't think I've ever seen animations stored in a single partition requiring flash image to load.
In the sense of the term "flash" being used pretty liberally to "apply" or "load" something on the phone, I could easily add support to load boot animation.zip files onto the phone, but I think that would be out of scope for this app as the core linux binary, flash_image (app is named after and uses) doesn't support boot animation loading.
It is definitely a good idea and perhaps worth me putting together a small app to help manage boot animations? By manage I'm thinking, loading, backing up, etc?

Yea, the phone will definitely require a reboot after flashing a kernel with clear dalvik or cache checked and the app will prompt for reboot. Clearing dalvik/cache while android is running, in my experience, will require a reboot almost immediately and the app requires this with a large warning against waiting to reboot.
Post got moved pretty quickly to a diff board. I did think the app was more useful for developers to test their own kernels/recoveries (as that is what I use it for), but seems the moderator disagreed. Either way, I do appreciate the support!

Definitely have a lot of error checking in here. In fact, this app has way more alert dialog boxes than any app I've wrote before. I prompt and ask for confirmation at multiple points. Owning an EVO and developing for the last 11 months on it have given me great insight in how to customize the app for the HTC EVO. I don't think it is very easy to accidently flash the wrong .img w/o confirming at LEAST once the action you're taking!
If there are points in the workflow you think could use another warning or prompt, let me know and I can definitely add it in!
Thanks for the feedback!

This is a very nice tool. I know this will come in handy. Thanks

Nice ..... good work!!!!!!

Honestly, your app should drastically reduce all the posting where people ask "how do I flash xxxx?" because now they can use a GUI to do the work for them!
Nice work!

Brilliant app!! This well save a lot of ware and tear on my vol and power buttons!

Damnit not cool, i tried to flash a kernel using this in cm7 and it wiped my entire phone lol, thank you nandroid!

not sure there is anyway the app could wipe your entire phone as there is no command in the app to do that .. also my test environment for the last month has been the htc evo with cm7 ... ive been flashing tiamat and toastcfh back and forth to test each new feature! if you could send across a logcat next time and tell me the exact steps you took, which kernel you selected (link if possible), where it was flashed from, which options you checked, that would help me look for bugs. thanks!
released new updated version 1.0.9. cleaned up some more of the code and improved some of the features! appreciate the feedback and support. will prob make some more improvements and release another update soon

INTRODUCTION:
Hey guys! I'll keep updating this thread with the lastest news from developer kbzona, responsible for making this port for our beloved P500. Team Win Recovery Project 2.0, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. 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.
KEY FEATURES:
Ability to save custom recovery settings
Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout – true theming!
Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
Ability to choose to compress backups – now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)
And many more!...
KNOWN ISSUES:
Testing Phase
USB Storage is not working yet.
Wiping of Data is not working.
Invalid or corrupt zip files will crash or hang recovery (AOSP issue)
Zip files that install more data than free space is available will crash or hang recovery (AOSP issue)
SPECIAL SHOUT OUTS:
kbzona - for his wonderful port for our P500
TWRP2 Development Team - agrabren, Dees_Troy, ViViDboarder, AssassinsLament
Toastcfh - for his underappreciated dedication to the community
s0up, kevank - for their hard work on the web side of things.
Amon_RA - for his great Recovery
Koush - for his dedication to the community and ClockworkMod
For all the help with devices and testing - Akmzero, arif-ali, Evil_DevNull, gus6464, Jesusice, Pyrostic, [R], Rootzwiki
The rest of Team Win - shift, onicrom, netarchy, kevank, myndwire, bigbiff, dkelle4, shinzul, spiicytuna, and eyeballer

INSTALLATION:
Download TWRP v2.0.0 - Early Beta below.
Download Stock Theme or Glossy Theme (You HAVE to pick one of these to fix misplaced text on recovery. It's a temporary fix for now)
Rename it to ui.zip
Create this path on SDCARD: /sdcard/TWRP/theme/
Put ui.zip inside it.
Restart to Recovery
Flash TWRP v2.0.0 - Early Beta
Reboot Recovery and Enjoy =D
CHANGELOG:
RED - Testing Release
BLUE - Stable Release
2011-12-22 - v2.0.0 Early Beta --- DOWNLOAD LINK ---
BUG: USB Storage is not working.
BUG: Wiping of Data is not working.
Initial release of TWRP 2
Full GUI touchscreen with buttons and XML engine
Fixed sdcard free space checking
Fixed bugs with MD5 zip file checking

So I guess there is no need to worry, I hope.
I'll remove it then, just to be safe, hehehehe.

I JUST flashed twrp recovery for the first time today And I gotta say....I dig it more then clockwork AND amon ra. Is this recovery compatible with the usual line up of roms?

Who knows a bug may happen, such as you touch one button but it wasn't the one you intended and for the confirmations, you know some users don't read them/ignore them or just used to keep on touching and oh noes.....

Lol, well yeah, it can happen, anyway physical keys are also not free from accidents, users can accidentaly press a key twice and bum!, formated something he didnt wanted to..... So yeah either using touch screen or physical keys you're still not free of an accidental action....
What would be the best is to have access to both touch and physical keys... @MakTail: seems you have some contact with TWRP dev, maybe you could tell him this suggestion and see if he can implement it
And i still prefer having a touch interface, in case something happens to the menu key

the dev who ports twrp recovery is a member of dr.notors' forum..
i want this version badly....

Words from kbzona himself:
1) No ETA's yet.
2) Yes it's going to have multi-rom
2) I really don't know about this physical buttons, since all UI code was rewritten and revamped i really dont know if there's still support for both physical buttons and touch in the GUI build, anyway still i will be able to build a non-GUI version of TWRP 2.0 for those who wants the lastest TWRP but with old interface... (I'll talk to a TeamWin dev to see if GUI version (since GUI code is closed souce unfortunately) still has physical key support so maybe i can make a dual interface that is changeable on the fly).

No, you got it wrong. Touchable boxes will be there. But kbzona you try to add an option to switch between touch interface and old physical interface.

I have SGS today and I miss TWRP.
SGS is very popular, but there is only ClockworkMod recovery and it's, comparing to TWRP, terrible.

First post updated with a small video showing off all features available on TWRP 2.0.
It's not from our phone, but everything you see there will be exactly the same (plus MultiROM).

Official news:
- Source wont be available till post new year, so multi-rom and other additional custom features (listed below) wont be available until then...
- Recovery maintains it's code for physical keys, so a switch to enable them would be perfectly doable...
- TeamWin is trying to compile a testing version cuz the lastest code commits screwed booting on O1, now we are in the process to see which of the lastest commits is guilty...
So we will have a working test version ASAP
Port news (After source is released):
° Many features from RZRecovery will be added:
- Recovery overclock (potentially increase backup/restoring times)
- Plugin support (This is, ability to run custom shell scripts)
- Others i dont remember right now but i consider useful

Great news, we are waiting

when u tap reboot button, and then recovery, it just boots up normally to android. Everything else is working for me! Thanks dude!
Will there be battery drain fix too? it drains about 10% battery in 20 minutes, and it gets overheated...
And i don´t think u are keeping ur phone cpu at 1.42ghz all the time L0L

yes but this is no bug of the recovery but by the p920.
I think I will make a new version without this button

using it now. tested it. and works perfect.
now the question is. will you also be able to port ics from prada?
Since you can port.
greetings, Paul
EDIT: if you can make the port possible. i will be more than happy to mirror the ROM on my google drive for full speed downloading
EDIT 2: and buy you some beers ofcourse

[RECOVERY][OT-995][WIP] TWRP 2.4.0 recovery - by BENETNATH

Hi to all Alcatel one touch 995 lovers.
Again, it might kill your dog, destroy the universe or even worse..
Here is a new toy to play with :
TWRP recovery​
Team Win Recovery Project 2.3, or twrp2 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.

NOTE
This has been tested (backup/restore/install) only with 4.1 roms (CM10, PAC..), please feedback for other roms
Before flashing Google Apps or any fix, please go first to Mount, then mount system_app.
Always use a battery with enough power before doing recovery things.. you might brick your phone otherwise.
Review of the 2.2 version here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2VlpVKj1eI
download to give a try, but still WIP​
CHANGELOG :
29/01/2013
Removing download link, not working for the custpack partition
28/01/2013 :
Addition of Mount option and wipe option for /system/app partition
You must mount /system/app to flash anything but a rom (gapps or paranoid-addon)
Initial release :
This build uses libtar instead of busybox's tar via a system / command line type setup. We've been testing and developing libtar privately for a couple months now (mostly thanks to bigbiff) and given the trouble that the DNA has been having with crashing during backup, we've decided to roll out a build of our libtar code for you guys. dsb9938 tested an earlier version of this and found that it was much more reliable. We call it a beta because we haven't fully finished testing it on a wider variety of devices, but we believe that it's very close to ready and I don't think you guys will run into any issues. The logging on this build is extensive. If you run into a problem with backup or restore, please go to Advanced -> Copy Log and then get us the recovery.log from your /sdcard so that we can take a look. You must do this *before* you reboot TWRP or the log file will be gone. Thanks.
THANKS
BIG thanks to Dees_Troy - donate to him !!

Downloaded and flashed.
I'll test it for a bit and then let you know how it went.
Once again, Good work!

Sweet Ben. You sneaky devil. You know me, I'm on it like white on rice. :good:
That don't look right. lol I'm calling your work sweet, not you.

Oh, me sad...I'm not your sweet Ben anymore ?

Re: [RECOVERY][OT-995] TWRP 2.4.0 recovery - by BENETNATH
LOL!! Fool! Gonna go flash this recovery.
EDIT: nice work guys! That has got to be the best thing I've seen for this phone since you started modifying PAC Ben. I'm going to backup this rom then try restoring my PAC backup. I saw a setting in the Orange online backup for this recovery also. I'll try that out as well. I'll let you know how it all goes later or tomorrow. Thanks man. I gotta talk to the ole lady about letting me into the bank account. I'm banned cause guitars and things have a way of following me home.

Just logged on to report the same. Play store is not included in the install and no auto install of PS apps. But the rest of my account seems to be restored. I tried to manually install PS, but only get force close. I'm back on PAC BTW.
But it's a very nice recovery. You keep spoiling me man.
Almost forgot. I tried gapps minimal and official signed as well as multi pack++. Same for all.
Sent from my OT-995 using xda premium

Yep, gapps is a no go. They only flashed when i pasted the contents of GAPPS minimal into the rom but still i cannot log into google account.
on a sidenote, i cannot log into my account in the normal account either so maybe there is a problem with google?
Anyway backup and restore worked like a charm and pretty much everithing else too.
Only a glitch to report, the text lines go out of the screen, about 5 or 6 chars.

So ok. I fixed my problem with my google account.
I can confirm that pasting the minimal gapps content into the rom and flashing in one zip they work really good, flashing the rom and then gapps they don't work.

Good To know
Sadly, i can't release a merged ROM with gapps
I am trying To fix that but miss time again...

in the updater-script located in \META-INF\com\google\android
just below the
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
paste
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system/app");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that should do the trick too

Just did a backup and really roamed the recovery. Truly beautiful. I love all the functions.
About themes. Where to get and how to install?

that should work
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31991-48...nt-colored-themesplus-basic-theming-tutorial/
look after 480x800 2.x theme

New release with mount option for /system/app
that must be ticked before flashing gapps

We named them experimental, because the other builds havent had the dpi setting merged in. we had to call it something . It is very stable, though. the official nightlies come out SOON! the other people are pretty happy with it right now. give it a whirl

Working great, no issues so far. With newer cm 10.2 I can't restore with titanium, but I can with this one.

Sorry, about modem inside rom, which is it?
Work in Italy?

As far as I understand it doesn't contain a modem. It didn't change my so I guess you will keep your current.

OK thanks for the information.
@ vedantgp , you confirm ?

I doubt that any modem comes with the rom. It will be stated if it does

I don't get why so many ROMs don't have list view animations, they look so mice :good:
What does the fox say? ;D

Been using all day, seems nice and stable so far. Nice work.....

confirmed. no modem comes with it, it retains your old modem, because we know that one will work properly (because its the same one you used before)

empty phone
Hello, i did exactly what you said but now my phone looks complete empty.
The only thing i see when i boot my phone is the bootloader and that keeps on spinning.
When i go back in recovery it seems that my phone is completly whiped so empty, my back-ups everything is gone even the /sys folder on the root of the system looks empty. I cant see my nandroids....
Is there a way to fix this, i mean, how do i get something on my phone without my sd card accessable and it seems that Smasung KIES isn't working either.
Please help me i am feeling very stressed.
Thanks in advance,
Remco:crying:
edit: i already fixed it with Odin.

Maybe add a Nandroid backup to your process, as simply having Titanium won't help anyone who hits a boot loop or soft bricks their device.
