[DEV] 09/June v1.8.1.6 - fake-flash by Koush, launching recovery without a PC

This morning, Koush and I have been working on / stumbling through getting recovery running on a Desire without using a PC for devices rooted with a test image. The same technique also applies to the Legend. Presenting...
fake-flash!
Fake-flash using a similar concept to the original root method, it launches a recovery image from the test image recovery, but instead of pushing the files from a PC, the files are extracted from an update.zip on the SD card. Here's how it works...
This is Recovery ROM which eliminates the need to have a PC to initiate Custom ROM loading process. Currently on a Rooted "Desire": you will need to put your phone in Recovery Mode (Power up phone while pressing Volume Down Key, then Select Recovery Option) and then Run a Batch file (eg. Recovery-windows.bat) from PC while phone is connected via USB Cable. This will put the phone on Customer ROM recovery/Loading Mode. Please check Paul's excellent methods found on MoDaCo. ClockWork eliminates this requirement of PC/Laptop.
If you have/Downloaded ClockWork ROM (Latest is 2.0.1.4), you can always copy this on you SD Card as "update.zip". While in Standard Recovery Mode (Power up phone while pressing Volume Down Key, then Select Recovery Option) Press "Up" Volume Key and Power Button. You will get Standard Android Recovery Menu. Load the update.zip. Once you do this ClockWork will show you the Custom Rom Loading Menus. From there you could load Any Customer ROM stored on your SD Card.
However, to make this simple, you should use ROM Manager Application which integrates everything together. With ROM Manager you could Select Custom ROM while the Phone is Running normally and Install them easily. To download ROM Manager and ClockWork ROM for different phones directly check:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html
Preperation
Download the fake-flash update zip from one of the links below
Copy the update.zip to the root of your SD card (the name MUST remain as update.zip)
When you want to launch the recovery image
Turn on your device with 'volume down' pressed and select 'Recovery'
When the exclamation mark appears, press and hold 'volume up' then press 'power'
Select the second option, 'Apply sdcard:update.zip
That's it, ClockworkMod recovery should launch!
Neat eh?
DOWNLOADS
Just to caveat this initial release, we've yet to carry out extensive testing and you are constrained somewhat by the limitations of the stock kernel (e.g. no support for EXT4).
That's it for now... enjoy... i'll update this post as further advances are made. If you'd like to support Koush's work, consider buying 'ROM Manager Premium' from the Android Market.

what the...?
awesome, guys!!!
does it work with all bootloader- versions?
Edit: works like a charm with hboot80!

That is amazing!

awesome!!!! i love xda and you guys always making my day

Does this solve the USB brick issue? Would be legend if it did!!!
Excellent work tho - now can flash whilst waiting on the train

Working Great, thx alot

confirmed works great!
does nandroid backup & restore work from this recovery ?

tried nandroid backup but fails on md5 checksum? some error regarding partitions?- hopefully checksum not needed and should still be able to restore?
great work to all

This is great!
Seems to work fine. Successfully flashed a different kernel using this. Only thing I found so far, if mounting usb, dropping a .zip onto the SD, then going back to flash, it haven't updated the SD-card file list, i.e. can't find the new file. Not exactly a major problem though. For first-timers it would be great with some explanation as to what keys to use, and that the "back"-key in fact goes back in the menu structure.
Mac

is it possible to make an SD-ext backup?
I just tried the nandroid backup,
but it said that it couldn't find /dev/block/mmcblk0p2...
great work!

Also got the md5 checksum error on nandroid backup here, fyi: my sdcard is a single fat32 partition if that makes any difference
-Nic

dudes! great stuff, works perfectly! thank you!

Wow!!! thnx for this i rly hate the fact that i need to push files from my pc to the phone ;-)
One small step for man... one giant leap into.. ahh well i dont know
THNX

paul is the man... ****in' genius

Excellent news ,looking forward to updates

No more USB bricking) yayayayayayyyy
Just my luck i bricked yesterday, then brought my phone back from the dead))
Down with HTC
LONG LIVE XDA!!!!!

Linked below is a rooted kernel, the easy method to root your Samsung Exhibit II 4g!
Simply copy the zip file to your internal or external sdcard and reboot into recovery. Choose install zip from the menu and select the t679-root zip file. When it completes, you are rooted! Also installed are Busybox, Superuser.apk and su. Additionally, when finished you will have ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 installed as well.
To boot into recovery, press and hold Vol-up then press power. After the plain white samsung logo appears, continue to hold the keys for two or three seconds then release. Recovery should start. However, sometimes recovery is balky...it may take more than one try.
This kernel is suitable for any stock (or stockish) Samsung Exhibit II 4g. Feel free to use it for your own projects. I don't insist on credit, but I do appreciate it.

Sorry to sound ridiculous, but what exactly does this do for my phone? What benefits do I get?

Also it should probably be noted with the instructions to boot into recovery that (at least on my phone) you need to press the menu button after the Samsung logo disappears and the little android guy with an arrow and a box comes up

Is this kenrnel overclockable? I took installed rebelrom, then flashed your kernel over it. everything works, but when I use setcpu or any other program like that it still shows 1024Mhz as max, do I have to edit the kernel somewhere to change the max value?

Glad to hear it's working with Rebel, I'd like this kernel to be ROM-agnostic. When I installed over Rebel, my keboard failed when I tried to sign in to my wifi hotspot.
Overclock, not yet. Underclock, yes, just like in stock.

I'm trying to learn as much as possible about this phone so I'm curious and asking. In the end how did you fix the problem of initramfs you had ?
Did you compile from samsung sources ? If yes, did you make a lot of modifications to the code ? If not did you do it another way ?

Samsung sources, yes. No mods yet, just module compiles. Working on cpufreq now.

stock phone:
I put the zip on root dir of my sd card via pc, enter stock recovery and choose install update, but when i navigate to the sdcard, there are no files or directories.
Any thoughts?

Are you telling it to install update.zip? Look for an option to select zip file. (right now I'm not running stock.)

Great work bro.....thank you so much......
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Philz you beauty! Welcome to the P5100 land! Finally something to look forward to in this otherwise zzzz P5100 forum. I was really planning to sell off this tablet due to the lack of top notch recoveries and kernels. Now I have eternal hope because Philz our saviour is here!
People, you just have to try his Kernels. He is a legend! Just check out the Note N7000 forums if you want to check out his fabulous work and fan following

About touch:
1- when you touch a menu to select: is the selection precise and working as expected
2- bottom virtual buttons: do they work as expected?
3- If it is slow, try to reduce the Scroll Sensitivity setting and reduce menu height. Play with both to find a sweet point¨
Try to describe what happens with precision. A video would even be better, so that I can get what you mean. I won't be able to help much as I do not have the device, without these

Here are the screenshots. The touch works perfect. There's no lag whatsoever. The bottom navigation buttons work as they should. Hopefully we'll be gifted with a Kernel soon

This works great on my 5113. The Aroma file manager seems really useful. I wasn't totally sure how to set it up so I'll write the steps here in case anyone else is wondering.
I downloaded the zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
You can "install" the zip file from recovery which really just runs the file manager. It doesn't really install anything. When you exit you go back to recovery.
However, if you want to use it from inside PhilZ's recovery do this:
Go to /sdcard/clockworkmod
Create a directory called .aromafm
Copy the zip file you downloaded into that directory
Change the name of the zip file to aromafm.zip
Now you can use the Aroma FM menu item from the recovery to launch the file manager. The first time you run it from a new location you get the "help" overlay screen. I did the above steps in the file manager itself. Pretty cool. And having a terminal from inside recovery is great when you need to fix something and aren't at home.

Big thanks for the screen shots. At least I can see how the display is looking
I decided on purpose to not enlarge the bottom buttons as I thought it would be harder to use them if spread along all the width. Is it ok?
As for menu toggle options not being completely right aligned, it is a limitation in current stock CWM, and I feel no need to increase the buffer to make it right align

Yes, the touch works perfect. Flashed 2-3 ROM's just for fun for testing it. The double tap and other shortcuts (the ones i checked) are all cool.
And yes the bottom navigation buttons are also good at this size. Infact they're perfect for the wider screen. Cheers!

Actually, I may have found a problem related to the 5113. I have installed some kernels through this recovery but when I went to install the latest CM nightly I get an assert failure where it is looking for p5110 or p5113. I've installed many of these in the past. I may revert to old CWM and see if it works, but I feel it must be related to this recovery, perhaps because it doesn't know I have a 5113?
Update: Reverting to normal stock worked.

Just ensure the resolution, since it is inverted. Let me know and eventually post a screen shot
By the way, since you have a note 2. Can you let me know your opinion about touch difference between note 2 and this one?
Also, if you post a recent recovery.img from sammobile.com, i will repack for p5110 if needed

[RECOVERY] Cannibal Open Touch Recovery for ZTE V967S

DISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROMS have risks and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.
Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledges about phones and phones utilities too.
Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.
UPDATE:
I updated the recovery to a new version, more stable, with CWM 6.0.4.4 basic structure (updated by me).
After a hard work with many failed builds, I succeded to compile from source a fully working recovery with touch support for ZTE V967S. I used for this the Project Open Cannibal source, named Cannibal Open Touch Recovery. It's a well done recovery, compatible with CWM, with usefull functions: for example advanced backup - you can backup only that partition you want, posibility to use themes, etc.​
Here you can see more images of the recovery, from a device with smaller screen, but you can check the options.
Touch navigation is made by touching bottom buttons menu, just like in Philz recovery or similar. First button is for exit or go back, second is key down, third key up and last is select or enter. Now you can save your phone buttons.
You should read this:
First time you boot in recovery will be a touchscreen calibration set up: you have to touch three times the red square. Also, first time you do a backup, it will take a little longer time, because it will be create directory structure and free up the space. After that it will be a joy, is fast, is powerfull, is full of options and is funny.​
CREDITS:
Project Open Cannibal who release and mantains this wonderful recovery.
Sblood86 for his help.
C3C076 for his help on tweaking recovery source.

Thanks for appreciations,
This recovery is underestimated by users, but is very good. Only one thing, is dependat on display resolution. For your device this is not gonna work. Try this one here. I did it for yuweng to test his device (Ihope he will not be upset). But don't use the port tool. Instead, unpack it with michfood tool, change in ramdisk my files with yours from original or a working recovery (recovery.fstab from dev folder, and from root all files that are not for your phone except init executable), repack it and see if it works.

Also will like to know how to create a theme for this recovery, as, I am themer and know for my theming only.
BTW, Hats off to you Master. Recovery is awesome. And Touch will make it great further.

Hm, I'm a little bit confused. Which recovery did you tried to port: mine from here from first post or the one I gave you that link? Because mine is for 540x960 resolution and the one from link is for 480x854. If you port that one it should work touch screen. Attention! is not the same as koush touch recovery, the touch area is only for those four nav buttons from bottom, like in early philz recoveries. I read that ProjectOpenCannibal's next recovery will be full screen touch and much improved.
For theme you need to create a folder in cotrecovery folder on sdcard, name it themes and look here https://github.com/ProjectOpenCannibal/sdcard_themes to see how a theme should look, then create one for your resolution and apply from recovery=>COT settings=>theme=>sdcard theme.

Got the Images back after installing the default theme. Actually I selected the theme RED but it was not there so it was saying like that. Now will create a theme and share to you also. BTW how can I adjust size and something to do with touch also...
Master You are awesome and your creations also.

That error appear when you select sdcard theme but there is no theme on sdcard. You see first position "Boot Android", navigate with volume buttons volume up two times, power button to enter, volume down once, power to enter, volume down once, power button enter, select hydro press power and now you should see back all images.
I saw in yuweng post that he didn't gave you that link, so if he didn't gave it to you by pm, I don't think you have the right recovery to port.
Look I'll give you again, please try with this COT Recovery 480x854. The reason the touch won't work in your actual ported recovery is because you use mine and the touch area is out of your screen.
If you have that one (named yuweng-recovery.img) and the ported one don't work that must be related to your phone touch module location, and I will have to documents on this when I have time.

Just a last question Master,
Sorry for bothering you in everything. Do we have to replace the kernel files also or not...
Cause I am replacing that also So it could be the reason that touch is not working.....????

Of course you should pack with your kernel, you only need my ramdisk. I don't think it's about kernel, I think is that resolution thing. In my first builds I didn't setup resolution, for debugging reason, and I didn't have touch either, but after setting correct width and height, everything worked like a charm. I'm using this recovery since I compiled and I'm very happy. The part I like most is the possibility to backup only that partition you want (if I want to backup data I can select to backup only data).
Good luck on porting. I hope this time it will work.

Sorry to bother you again master,
But other than touch everything is working fine, may I know is it related to touch drivers or only resolutions.
Cause just checked my device specs and the resolution is saying "480*800" and the file that you gave me is 480*854 so because of this it is not working only for 54 pixels, though I know it's possible as like .9pngs.
If yes so please either do a favor and create another files with resolution "480*800" please.
The last favor please.....

Aahh, there you go! Of course this is the reason. I will try to compile one for that resolution these days and I will post it here.

Well, you gave me wrong info. Your device does have resolution 480x854 not 480x800.
Delete cotrecovery folder from sdcard. Install back 480x854 ported recovery, boot in recovery and see if you get touch screen calibration (first thing after boot in recovery - a red square touch three times). Play a little with menu and boot back in Android. Now open cotrecovery folder from sdcard and give me the content of settings.ini file. Also tell me if your device has a /dev/input folder or tell me which folders do you have in /dev.
Just to test again, boot back in recovery and in COT settings do again touch screen calibration.

But Master, I am not able to touch the red dot, Its not responding. That's what I am saying that touch is not working in any version but in TWRP of ours touch is working fine. Here is the working touch TWRP recovery. May be it can help Master. Regarding I am still confused that its 480*800 or 480*854 but touch is not working in any of them.
Along with that I am uploading the whole dev/input folder and cotrecovery folder.

Well, for some reason input directory is empty. This recovery has the same way as twrp to trigger touch.
Overwrite your settings.ini with the one attached (rename it to settings.ini).
Also give me your ported recovery.

Thanks for supporting master or else I could never been able to port this recovery for us.

I need your device official boot.img and recovery.img
There is something wrong in your init.rc, but I need to look in those two files to be sure.

Yes i thought about this, but how?? I think i need custom recovery for this, but can't install one. If there is other way of installing I will be happy. Thanks.

I don't know any other way to install gapp except using recovery.
Install recovery and find your phone gapp and flash using recovery

Hello guys, just wanted to let you know that after many hours of hard work I finally managed to get Google Play Services and root working. If anyone ever needs help with this particular model or any x86 based Android tablet/phone with unknown brand you can send me private message or answer in this thread. The problem with this type of devices is that no one makes custom recovery for them that's why I had to load a temporary one. Here is a link. By following the guide there you will get in recovery pretty much 99% of time. From there it's easy just flash SuperSU package and GApps. The best and only working x86 (Intel Processors) GApps with this version of CWM recovery are Franken GApps. You flash them and you are done. You now have working, licensed and usable tablet/phone! Screenshots below! :highfive:

Hey, I am sorry for the late response. I was away from XDA for a while.
1. To root I can't remember exactly, but there are a few ways I think. First, you can use Framaroot to root it or (recommended) you can directly push SuperSU package from the link I have given.
2. You download this GAPPS package. The download link is in the bottom of the post. You can also download a SuperSU package (ZIP) from here.
3. I see you have followed the instructions to some point. Here let me explain: First you connect your tablet with USB cable to the computer. Second you unzip the downloaded file and run the batch file. You then type "ACCEPT". Then you type "5" to run CWM recovery. Then you type "T4" to chose the forth option to load the recovery. This is basically a program that loads a recovery to your tablet without installing it. Your tablet should now reboot into CWM recovery. Be careful to not disconnect the tablet while you are performing operations since there is almost no way to recover from brick!
4. I guess you are at least a little familiar on how to work with recovery. In case you don't know: First - you very carefully navigate with the volume buttons up and down. You then go to install zip>from sd card>UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip. You then wait a second for the file to be flashed. You now have root. Second - you again navigate with volume buttons and go to install zip>from sd card>FrankenGApps-x86-20140826.zip. You again wait for a second. Now you will have successfully flashed GAPPS. You then very carefully navigate to reboot command and press the power button.
5. Tips:
- be very careful to not disconnect the tablet while flashing;
- backup any important information;
- ask me before you do anything which I have not described so you can be safe from bricking;
*In case the recovery says something like "Not enough space to install zip" or something similar, please, write in this thread so I can help you.
Good luck!

Hello there,
Sorry for the off topic.
I also have the same tablet and I managed to do all the things listed above.
I was trying to update the Android on this thing by flashing a ROM of a very similar tablet (hardware-wise) and I semi bricked it but I managed to recover through the ECU shell(!). I have every partition in img using dd.
The thing is. Do you have any resources about a new ROM? I found the anzhen4_mrd7 source files on GitHub and I'm trying to build a CM build. Downloaded the source code etc.
If you want to collaborate send me a PM

Hello,
unfortunately I am not that good with Android. I don't know how to build ROMs etc., but I may learn one day. Sorry, but I can't help you.
