[Recovery] Rogue XM Touch Recovery v1.5.0-R1 (CWM-based v5.0.2.8) [2012-05-25]

Rogue XM Touch Recovery v1.5.0-R1
(CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8)
For the Asus Transformer TF101​
First off, thank you to...
Team Rogue
Koush
CyanogenMod Team
j-r0dd
Solarnz
Roach2010​
All I did slap together all their hard work to make it work on the TF101.​
Sources
Rogue Recovery
The source and more info for Rouge Recovery is available in the Xoom release thread from Team Rogue. I have not made any modifications to it to work with the TF101. You can find that thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170
The discussion of the touch release in that thread begins here:

Recovery Kernel
I used the kernel from Roach2010's ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0.1 release here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723​
Device Tree
Mostly based on AOKP's TF101 device tree, just picked out the parts needed to compile the recovery. Particularly BoardConfig.mk:

Updates
[2012-05-25] 1.5.0-R1 (5028-based)
Updated to Rogue XM Recovery v1.5.0 which is touch-enabled with the same features as before. See the Xoom release thread for more information on Rogue Recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170
Can also finally use the boot to recovery option available in some ROMs thanks to the recovery boot loop fix from Roach2010 from here:

Workaround for small menu targets
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26142147&postcount=151
If I can figure out a way to just make the menu items taller, I'll make an update. Otherwise I'm waiting for Rogue to implement it first.​
[2012-01-14] 1.3.0-R1 (5027-based)
Original release, non-touch​
Info
Mounting as USB storage does not work. (Accessing the tablet or SD card from your computer when plugged in via USB)​
Installation
I tested this the best I could, but use at your own risk. I am not liable for data loss, spontaneous combustion, temporal anomalies, or anything in between.
Just flash the attached zip from CWM.
There's also an nvflash version that has the recovery.img in it and will only flash the recovery if you prefer that method. Or just so you don't have to unpack the blob file if you need the recovery.img.​
Misc:
I did this because I thought it'd be nice to have a newer recovery for our TF101s, but also because I want to learn to do some sort of development even if it's just building for similar devices. I'm still new to using anything like git or using C/Java like this so don't expect miracles right away if bugs come up! I have some experience with other languages, but not in this kind of application.

Thank you, looks nice. Doing a nand backup right now with it.

there was someone in one of the ics threads, looking for this, they,ll be chuffed to bits.

To do that, you have to extract the zip and then unpack the blob file... but I updated the OP with an extra nvflash version that flashes just the recovery and gives you the recovery.img.

Finally...a relatively current back up for the TF!!
THANK YOU!!
Backing up with 3201, then installing this.
Beautiful work!! Works flawlessly!

Finally! A 5.x.x.x CWM recovery
Does this allow flashing from both internal and external?
On my Galaxy Nexus, they also have a touch softkey mod that has softkeys for up, down, back, and select. Not a big deal but something cool to look into if you get bored.
LTE EX Galaxy Nexus - CM9 AOKP
Asus Transformer - Revolver

Can we get a list of features? I've never flashd CWM 5.x.x.x so just curious, and would make a good addition I think..

It's basically the same as 3207 with the ability to flash from and back up to internal memory.
And seems a bit more stable.

Worked for me. Way way way better color scheme and it booted quick! Thanks!

its definitely not the same as v3.x.... that being said however, simply look at the android_bootable_recovery github to see the differences since v3.x
I think with the latest versions its even possible to use the mount usb with the tablets own MicroSD card where-as in the v3.x tree it wasnt (thanks to v5.x's inclusion of dual mount support, specifically done to support devices with large internal storage)
Still, i have to agree with everyone else, its REALLY nice to finally see a v5.x CWM... using it on my HD2, Evo Shift, and HeroC, it really was a surprising difference from when I was sticking with v3.x

Just awesome!!! Thanks so much!

this needs to be moved to the dev section, but great job!

Thanks! Installed successfully on two separate rooted B60 TF101's(ARHD 3.2, and Krakd 1.4.2)without any issues. Works great nice job!

New recovery works great!
Just flashed this without any issue. Nice look and feel. Are there more options available under the 'wipe' option, such as ability to wipe only cache or Dalvik cache like the 3.2.0.1 had? I haven't had a chance to look yet and didn't want to chance inadvertently wiping my device. Thanks.
[EDIT] I've now had time to look around and answer my own question. Yes, the other wipe options are there under the wipe menu item. Good to not see that sd card error all the time. So far it seems pretty flawless and better looking, too. I had to reflash my ROM last night and got to put it through it's paces.

Good job and thanks for carrying forward with recovery.
I did notice that at least on mine, I saw no 'connection' between the progress bar when doing a full advanced backup to the plugin SDCARD (normal backup as in the old days), or in other words, no sign of progress despite it working fine. I'm looking around the code to see what might have caused that.
The other interesting change not mentioned is that the backup file format/suffix is now .tar instead of .img. I tried using Titanium to restore an app from the backup with the .tar files, and it worked fine. Is .tar what the current versions of cwm are using?
Lastly: I know that to burn a kernel you have to use blobs on the tf101, so which .tar file contains the kernel blob? (I've not yet analyzed this yet and have assumed that you have to actually burn a kernel afterward to get one in place). What I was wondering is if we could get the equivalent of 'boot.img' from other v5 cwm's that are around, but I suppose ours would have to burn a blob rather than just unpack a .tar file.
EDIT: After reading through the original post about Rogue Recovery, I realized that in the last / prior release notes it mentioned this:
*Progress indication disabled by default again for speed (create /sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress to enable progress)
Which took care of my initial gripe so check on off to me not reading enough ..
Thanks again --

I tested this by doing a full backup and restore. After the sucesfull backup, I then did the restore which it did restored from backup but wifi got broken and no way to turn was wifi on.

I also did a back up and restore and my Wifi is fine.
I did not do the advance backup just the regular backup.
Someone else reported this wifi problems using Roach's 3.2.0.1 CWM also.

Hmm, weird, I'm not sure why the recovery would break that unless it's failing to restore something or possibly failed to back something up. I did several backups and restores when I was checking to see if everything worked and never encountered that. Maybe try restoring the one giving your trouble a couple of times to see if it comes back?

Looks like somewhere around CWM 4 is when the switch to tar was made. It has better the speed along with the ability to back up and restore the correct filesystem. Sounds like the progress thing was added somewhere around then as well.
[ Found here: https[colon]//plus.google[dot]com/103583939320326217147/posts/G4VQuCpR25y Sorry, can't make outside links yet. ]
Looking at a kernel zip, it uses dd to put the blob in /dev/block/mmcblk0p4, which is also where the recovery goes... I clearly need to learn more about what's going on here when flashing a kernel or recovery to the same thing and what the function of the blob is.
Looking in the nandroid backuip system tar though, it grabs the /system/lib/modules folder which some kernel zips add to, so the nandroid is backing that up. I'm not sure if nandroid, at least in its current state, is able to back up or restore the kernel itself because of the whole blob thing?
Hmm, perhaps I should make a feature list instead of just saying look at the Xoom release thread!

[GUIDE]How to load CM9 on GSIII

**this was a very early guide and most of the files and methods referenced in it are long outdated, sounds crazy I know as the phone has barely been out, but i recommend finding more recent guides at this point. I wanted to leave this up for archival reasons though. As of 7-22 I am running dhackers CM10 build with great results. Just don't forget to set max cpu clock back down to 1500 mhz if you don't want it over locked out of the box **
As per the usual disclaimer....at your own risk, be aware of IMEI loss issues and whatnot...basically cover your own butt.....and enjoy.....
7-15 2:46pm **As of right now voice and SMS are not working on my phone while other people report they are working fine. While you can still play around and see just how amazingly fast CM is on this phone, YMMV. If it doesn't work you need to know how to go back to stock before trying this.
7-29 this guide is very old, it pre-dates kexec and is only here for historical purposes
For clarification: The question was asked if one is supposed to follow the original Team Epic Kexec kernel instructions or these steps and the answer is two fold. If your goal is to install the UNOFFICIAL CM9 built by Invisiblek (which is the purpose of this thread), then you follow the steps in THIS THREAD ONLY. There are a couple steps and a couple files linked to in the original Kexec page that will not allow you to install CM9. That page was made for those wanting to try out their Kexec Proof of Concept KERNEL, not install a ROM of any kind.
This thread makes some assumptions, such as you already have a working install of the Android SDK and ADB, you already have the drivers installed, you are using the original USB cable that came with your phone, you know how to move around DOS to get to the directory where you downloaded the files, etc.......those lower level tasks are for another thread.
To Try Our Proof-of-Concept Kernel <<<The base of these instructions was the Team Epic Kexec Kernel page seen at this link, Many Thanks to them
Thanks to Invisiblek for clarifying and helping me get steps just right.
The following is an adaptation of the CM Kexec kernel proof of concept with the changes in files and steps necessary to load the latest CM9 work in progress. Be advised I take no credit at all. This is the work of Team Epic and Invisiblek. I just put this together for myself and for others who would like to try it with one caveat. DATA doesn't work! Voice and SMS only....and maybe 1xRtt data.....so you will be relying on WiFi for data! You've been warned!
Also, I highly suggest you use a free MD5 Hash checking utility to verify the integrity of the files you are downloading. That is why the MD5 hash is provided, so you can be sure you didn't get the wrong file or a corrupt download that could cause a BRICK!
If you don't follow the directions carefully you can end up with a brick! Ask questions after reading the OP if you still aren't sure. I probably won't know the right answer for sure. You may have to wait on someone with more experience in this to answer your question.
DO NOT ACCEPT AN OTA UPDATE WHILE RUNNING THIS SETUP
1. Download the recovery.img (MD5: f1c01ad20e02751a73188f173eb412ca), which combines our source-based kernel with our previously released CWM v4.
2. Flash the recovery.img following these instructions, that is:
Code:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 bs=256k
sync
3. Reboot into recovery (using volume up, home power buttons), wipe data, install one of invisibleks CM9 roms>click here for all of his CM9 roms< which do not have boot.img integrated, then continue with the steps below:
4. Download these additional files:
(required download)boot.img (MD5: db058f4b15df0fa1b9ee04a5c17cf103), which is invisibleks custom boot.img
It would be good at this point to read ahead and determine where you will be loading the next file. Keep in mind if you are in stock recovery and choose to wipe data, this will wipe the internal memory.
if you plan to load onto internal memory download this file boot_emmc_boot_img.zip (MD5: 84a3f98c194f6dedc583dbc75ccc34c2)
or
if you plan to load onto sdcard (ext) memory download this file boot_sdcard_boot_img.zip (MD5: 88904d7e69d455ff88756b4d1ad79aac), which are applied in recovery to kexec (boot) the custom boot.img.
5. Place boot.img either on the internal SD card (the /sdcard/ folder), or on the external SD card (the /mnt/extSdCard/ folder).
The boot.img kernel boots directly out of one of these folders, it will not (and should not) be flashed to the device.
6. If you're using the internal SD card, place boot_emmc_boot_img.zip in /sdcard/ as well. If you're using the external SD card, place boot_sdcard_boot_img.zip in /mnt/extSdCard/.
7. Reboot into recovery.
8. If using the internal SD card, select "Install zip from sd card" and then "choose zip from internal sdcard", then "boot_emmc_boot_img.zip". Alternatively, if using the external SD card, select "choose zip from sdcard", then "boot_sdcard_boot_img.zip".
At this point, the device should reboot "in the middle" of applying the update, temporarily booting boot.img. If the update "completes" and returns to the CWM menu, kexec has failed or the wrong recovery was loaded in the beginning. Please check the locations of boot.img, and boot_emmc_boot_img.zip or boot_sdcard_boot_img.zip and verify recovery.img file used was the correct one, verify using an MD5 hash checker.
9. Once booted, the custom kernel can be confirmed by checking "Kernel version" in "Settings", "About device". It should report:
3.0.8-gdefeb6f
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 8 04:27:58 EDT
2012
10. To reboot into the stock kernel, select "Restart" from the Power menu, which will actually reboot into CWM recovery. Press the Power button to select "reboot system now" and leave recovery.
11. You cannot simply power on your phone with this setup! In order to power on your phone you will have to hold volume up, home and power to boot into recovery and load the zip file you chose at step 4 where you chose either internal or external memory, so either "boot_emmc_boot_img.zip" or "boot_sdcard_boot_img.zip". If you do accidentally boot up by just hitting power, no big deal, it will give you all sorts of force closes, simply pull battery and boot back up using the Vol up, Home, power method.
If anyone would like to suggest further clarification, please do. To get the stock Google apps such as Play Store get the package HERE and install in recovery
Alternatively a more condensed version of this install procedure has been posted by nbsdx and can be found HERE.
7-15 2:46pm **As of right now voice and SMS are not working on my phone while others are working fine. While you can still play around and see just how amazingly fast CM is on this phone, YMMV. If it doesn't work you need to know how to go back to stock before trying this.
If you want to return to bone stock, simply go to THIS THREAD to get STOCK ROM IMAGE and then put your phone into Odin Download mode by following THIS THREAD and be sure to flash it using the PDA button. It will take a while, probably 20 minutes or so, it will take forever to boot up the first time but you will be on bone stock like new.

Very informative. Would read again.

dual boot
Being that we have to use kexec anyhow, it would be nice (especially with the state of current cm9 rom) if we could fully dual boot so as to keep stock system and data for stock kernel.
Like here,
http://www.epiccm.org/2012/07/dualboot-cm9-on-sgs3-lte-sprint-t.html

I just installed successfully using the instructions in the OP so I can confirm it works correctly. Holy crap it's fast.

If you follow the steps in this thread, including using these links for your files, it will work without a problem.
I can't comment on why other guides on other sites using other files don't work.....and not really sure how it applies to this thread. Lets try to keep it on topic. If you have issues with the dual booting instructions, you might start a new thread to address that or jump in irc.freednode.net/verizons3 and graciously ask the people for help
When you flash the the CM9 rom built by Invisiblek it will come back out to CWR menu. At that point in the process I realized I hadn't copied the boot.img file into the root of my sd card, so i left it on the CWR menu, popped out the sdcard, copied the boot.img file over (already had the boot_sdcard_boot.img file on the root of sdcard), and popped the sdcard back in, chose advanced->reboot recovery, then followed the steps in this guide, worked perfectly.

You need to add one line to Invisiblek's updater-script that "flashes" the boot.img to the bootloader partition in the multi boot folder. Check out the sprint cm9 install for the line to add.
I have tested dual booting to work perfectly.

yes, will update OP once we have working 3G/4G data

I flashed back to stock, simply because I need to have voice and SMS working. I could deal without 3G/4G data for a little bit and use WiFi, but no SMS/Voice was a deal breaker on my phone. I have to be easily gotten in touch with for work and such. It was fun while it lasted.

No. Different files used, probably a different step or two also. I plan to edit this once CM10 builds are ready for public consumption. These instructions also don't include the automated kexec scripting work done recently that allows your device to cold boot into CM9.

Is there anyway to get the TouchWiz Camera on CM9? I really like that camera app.
I tried just putting it in /system/app and changing the permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooting and nothing
Then i tried just installing it like a normal apk and it failed.
I would love CM9 if i could just get the stock camera app too work.
BTW im using DHacker29's CM9 and its amazing. So much easier to install.

It probably requires touchwiz frame work. It will take significantly more work than just dropping in an apk

[Q] Installing Illusion Rom 2.6 S3

I'm pretty new at installing Roms and such, but I do have a successful install of the Illusion Rom 2.6 Beta on my phone. I tried to update, and I couldn't get the file to install.
I use ClockworkMod, and when I try to install the ZIP from my external SD, it tells me there's something wrong with the file. I have downloaded it multiple times, thinking maybe it was a corrupted copy I put on. Same results. (Now, I could be missing something, as the file is listed as a Grouper, and I'm not sure what that means.)
Any suggestions or info would be very helpful. Thank you!

As you wrote, the file may be corrupted during downlad. Why don't you check the MD5 ( check with google to learn how). Another reason that, the file may be something else than the required rom.

you would have to get a ported (non offical: should work just as fine as offical but there could be some other added stuff.) version since you want Cm 10.2 5.x.x.x should work but just to be on the safe side you should try getting 6.0.4.5. should only have to download a zip of whatever you find and flash it in your current recovery.

I get Image Update Error when updating the 6.0.4.5 version. I've chosen on for another device because there isn't any 6.0.4.5 version for Nexus One.

I checked the free available space. In the SD Card I've have plenty (more than 2GB), but /system has 0% available. This might cause the flash to fail. Is there any option to free up space before I flash the ROM?
Update: even after formatting the system directory I still get the same error, this it not the problem so it seems.

your gonna have to ask the nexus ones offical Q&A then http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-one/help if i right with this problem you have to do something specifically and differently for every device so just ask the pros on your device first.

My first post Hurray!
Hi guys.
I want to install Android 4.3 to my HTC Google Nexus One. I followed this post.
I installed everything needed and when I try to install the update I get the following results:
I have Fastboot access to the phone when connected via USB to my Windows 7 laptop.
I am using recovery versions 5.0.2.0 for my Google Nexus One phone.
Flashing ROM: CM 10.2 Rom for the N1
How can I solve this issue, need your help. Thanks in advance. :cyclops:
Other things I've tried: Flashing the rom from boot.img from the zipped file via fastload
I also checked for assert command in the script file but there aren't any.

Status 7 error comes due to system folder being full.. I m not a nexus one user and its a common problem..
Open the rom zip of your file delete some apps from system/app then flash the rom..
This will solve your status 7 error..

New Builder Question

This should probably go in some general Q&A forum, but this is by far the most helpful community I've come across so I wanted to try here first. I've finally got my Ubuntu box up and running again (upgrading to 14.04 wasn't pretty) and was able to build for both my 700t and my n5 without error, but I'm afraid to pull the trigger and flash it. I'm building straight CM for the tablet and AOSP for the phone, so what is the worst that could happen? I haven't gotten either of them to run in the emulator, but I'm not completely sure that is even possible. Any insight you may have would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Just thought of this, since I'm running Crombi ROM2SD, could I just install my zip on external, and then refresh the right kernel?

The worst thing that can happen is that you brick your device, but you must do something sufficiently stupid for that to happen. I can't say anything about your phone, but for the TF700T, as long as you have a working recovery, flashing a ROM won't brick it. You may want to create the nvflash blobs if you want to have another safety net - it is possible to brick the TF700T if you force it to boot to the recovery and the recovery is broken.

That's normal - ARM devices are just too different, and the emulator is just another different device.

See my Android dual-booting thread in the dev subforum. I originally developed ROM2SD to be able to test my self-built ROMs without breaking my working installation.

Thanks _That, I appreciate your help! After reading your post and the f2fs post, i thought i was in the clear, but i still managed to screw something up. i'm unable to get the tablet to boot off of external, regardless of whether its my ROM or CROMBi. I see a "segmentation error" listed in the output from the the preinit, and then it always boots to internal. I thought maybe i got the mount points reversed in recovered, so i reflashed recovery, but no luck. i also tried deleting the preinit script and then reinstalling CROMBi, but i still get the same error. any thoughts?

For some unknown reason, dynamically linked executables don't work for preinit in KitKat. So if your *internal* ROM is not stock 4.2-based (I have no data about 4.3), the only way to run a preinit script is to use a statically linked busybox.

You still get that fault with a static busybox but it seems to copy files fine.
@psudeke you can compile the static busybox yourself simply with make static-busybox in your build folder - or just steal mine from /system/boot

Your fault may come from one of the programs that you call in your script (did you forget to prefix some line with "busybox"?).

it comes from the ls -l /init* which indeed doesn't have the busybox prefix but if I do it gives some other error I forget now
Anyway it doesn't harm the boot process - just an error message

Internal is the 5/17 build of Crombi, and its a brand new install. with a full format of the data partition (which in my haste to get this working yesterday, i wiped out my nandroid from right before i tried this).
is there any connection between when the internal is flashed compared to the external? in other words, if i reflash the internal rom, it should still recognize an existing external rom? hope that makes sense, i'm still shaking off the effects of a little too much whiskey last night.:laugh:

No currently if you reflash internal it will only see internal. You need to reflash external for that to work.

Ahh, thanks sbdags! that fixed the issue with ROM2SD. i got that impression when i pulled the preinit and saw it only had an entry for internal. but, i'm still very much in a learning phase so i didn't want to jump to a conclusion.
and after getting crombi to boot on external, i swapped sd cards and my build of CM11 actually booted! now the real learning process begins as i figure out how to customize it.
Thanks again to both you and @_that, you guys are the best:good:

@sbdags and @_that
Just wanted to thank you both again for your help. After much trial and error, i was able to build the 5/27 version of CM and merge in that's 9 f2fs kernel, its running well so far. not a bad quadrant score for someone who doesn't know what they're doing!

Hats off to both of you! :good:

Congratulations! If you can build a working ROM from source, you're already in the top 1% of people here who know what they're doing.

Be careful what you wish for, I've got a laundry list of questions ranging from basic Linux commands to the nature of the multiverse, lol.
I do have one question out of the gate about the update-binary file. I'm trying to add a couple apps to either the system or data folders, but I'm not sure what commands are available from the stock CM file. I think for the most part by looking at your updater-script file I can figure out the commands to do what I want, but given the little I know about this and the size difference of the binary file between CM and the one i was looking at of yours, I'm curious. Is the best way to see what's available CM's git? I basically just want to install a different Launcher and Viper instead of DSP manager for sound. Do I need to study up on edify to look at the binary or is there an easier way?
Thanks again!

yes the easiest way to do it is just make 2 folders with your extra apps in it say /extras/app
then add the following to the updater-script (you don't need to touch the update-binary unless you start using aroma)
package_extract_dir("extras", "/system");
delete("/system/app/DSPManager.apk");
delete("/system/priv-app/Trebuchet.apk");
What that does is copies the extras/app folder into system and deletes your unwanted apps
note apps can be installed into 2 folders /system/app or /system/priv-app
similarly you can install your user apps into /data/app but this is dangerous with launchers as if the user manually uninstalls it you can't do anything on the tab

Thanks again! i can see how this becomes addicting fast :fingers-crossed:

@sbdags do I need to mount data before installing anything to the /data/app folder? I saw in your updater-script this line, and i'm assuming i need the same:
Code:
mount("f2fs", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8", "/data");
one other quick question (hopefully), I saw in the XDA WIKI that i can possibly test the script using the update-binary, do i have to do this on the tablet itself? i spent all afternoon trying to fix a problem that amounted to an errant quotation mark in my script (and i knew it was something like that too. too many years of non-terminated string errors to not look there first:laugh, but the only way i could find to test it was to rezip the file and flash. any suggestions?
thank you good sir! :highfive:

just zip the /meta-inf folder, and flash that to test. obviously comment out any format commands as they will fail. That is what I do.

Hey @psudeke you ever need any help with anything to do with source or git let me know
I am also willing to help out
and just a FYI be careful of @sbdags :cyclops: LOL
Just kidding....
Let me know thx Josh
