Hey Motorola Fire owners!
Here's ClockWorkMod for our beloved QWERTY phone [With nandroid backup minor issues]
Any damages, you're responsible of it.
The Steps:
1- Download busybox from playstore, i prefer stericson's one, install busybox binary.
2- Download Pimp My Rom from playstore, open it, click > Universal init.d support, then click > activate
3- Download latest zip (bootmenu 3-12-12.7z)
4- Extract it, and run Install-boot-menu.bat
If you want to know what the script does:
5- Download latest bootmenu folder, extract it, copy "bootmenu" folder to /system/ (by using any root browser of your choice)
6- Fix permission of all the files inside "/system/bootmenu/binary/" to: RWXR--R--
7- a- Create a new file with no extention, rename it to 97bootmenu, put it inside "/etc/init.d/" set it's permissions to RWXRWXRWX (full permissions)
7- b- inside this file paste this code and save it:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
stop
exec /system/bootmenu/binary/bootmenu
-Then Reboot
Now focus, while you're seeing motorola logo, the capacitive keys' leds will light up at certain timing, quickly press VOL- button before the lights go off, if you later, don't want to boot to bootmenu, just don't press the VOL- button, the phone will boot normally to system
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To restore backed up nandroid system.yaffs2.img
In terminal emulator or adb shell type:
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/YYYY-MM-DD.HH.MM.SS/
md5sum *.img > nandroid.md5
Where <YYYY-MM-DD.HH.MM.SS> is the folder of your backup.
Then go to cwm again and restore ( i prefer advanced restore > system )
Or with fastboot: By typing: "fastboot flash system system.yaffs2.img"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the most important part, press thanks button, it motivates me

Hey Motorola Fire owners!
Here's CWM for our beloved QWERTY phone [Still have issues with nandroid backup]
Okay so first of all this is not only my work
I only built CWM6 and put it inside the bootmenu, also helped in discovering init.d support, and when you nandroid backup, i fixed the creation of system.img and data.img (with help of dear friends from taringa.net) :angel:
The Steps:
1- Download busybox from playstore, i prefer stericson's one, install busybox binary.
2- Download PimpMyRom.apk from attachments and install it, because the one in the market have some errors causing FCs
3- From Pimp my rom, click > Universal init.d support, then click > activate
4- Download bootmenu.zip, extract it, copy "bootmenu" folder to /system/ (by using any root browser of your choice)
5- Fix permission of all the files inside "/system/bootmenu/binary/" to: RWXR--R--
6- a- Create a new file with no extention, rename it to 97bootmenu, put it inside "/etc/init.d/" set it's permissions to RWXRWXRWX (full permissions)
6- b- inside this file paste this code and save it:
HTML:
#!/system/bin/sh
stop
exec /system/bootmenu/binary/bootmenu
7- Reboot
After reboot, android bootmenu will appear, choose recovery, then select custom recovery
Now you entered CWM 6 :cyclops:
Please don't select the "mounts" section, still needs fixes, might be dangerous
If you take nandroid it will successfully backup system.img and data.img without sd-ext.
You may not be able to restore them through cwm.
But you can restore them through FASTBOOT.
I flashed many zips through this recovery successfully.
PS: to boot again to system, normally connect the device through adb, and type:
adb shell
rm -r /system/etc/init.d/97bootmenu
Then reboot using "adb reboot" or reboot function in bootmenu
Now the most important part, press thanks button, it motivates me to keep up the good work
I'd like to thank those who helped in getting this bootmenu to work:
- Gentry Lamp
- 7amdoun
- Aweosomeabhijeet
- Mr. indigo
- Andrewidya
- AndYRo (from Taringa.net)
probably others that i forgot to mention
I'll keep updating the recovery until it becomes perfect

Click to collapse
Hey Mazen I would like to suggest you something.
Open bootmenu folder go to script folder and open stock.sh
and add
Code:
rm -r /system/etc/init.d/97bootmenu
reboot
Then if you select boot>Stock your phone will reboot twice and boot normally.
then no need of using adb in PC.
I make everything as u say and restarted it above 6 times but nothing happens and my device starts normally!!!
EDIT: try to change permissions of 97bootmenu to rwxr-r- & restart 2 times but nothing happened!!

Hey guys has anyone an european sbf for the xt311, i really need it.
Hey Mazen,
How did you manage to get CWM to make a full backup. I tried everything but it just freezes on system. I edited recovery.fstab to point to /dev/block/mtdblock* for every partition but it keeps complaining that it can't find that volume to mount.

I added mkyaffs2image
and AndYRo fixed a couple of mounting errors, if you build CWM 6 online you can take our xt311's modded files and only replace "recovery" file in /recovery/sbin/, with the corresponding one in your CWM 6

Any ideas?

Thanks for creating a thread!
I'm trying with UAE sbf, unfortanelly I have to reflash it, since there's a problem with my Init.d support.
*Can we able to change the font size in the recovery not in the bootmenu? cuz it's looks bigger
PS. i make oNandroid backup and I delete it to try the backup section in the recovery when I make it it's stuck on
backup system.....
and no progress bar like any CWM recovery!
If build from source,android.mk in bootable/recovery can change font.
smaller font looks well on xt311/6
I have built one, but some problem not solve.

Details of features under Installation & Features
Installation and Features MUST READ BEFORE USING
So You must have CWM/TWRP Recovery Installed to use this tool. Here is detail guide to get CWM on your device.
Procedure to get CWM : Click to Show Contents if you want to know How to flash CWM. If you have CWM installed then move to next step - MultiTool Intallation and features.
Step 1
Download Philz_touch_*n7100.tar.md5 Also you need to have Kies OR Samsung USB driver installed on PC.
1.Open Odin and select PDA tab (see image below) (Get Odin from here)
2.Point to recovery file you have downloaded philz_touch_* -n7100.tar.md5
3.Now switch off device and reboot in download mode
press Vol down + Home +Power, And then, press Volume UP button in Warning Page to enter the Download Mode
4.Connect device to PC and wait till device successfully added to com port (it will turn light blue) (see image below)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

5.Hit ‘Start’ to flash
6.Once it flashed successfully, you can see 'PASS' in table above the ID :COM, you can disconnect device from PC (see image below)
[Note : normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into android and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button until it reboots (normally will go to recovery)
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm]
On successful flashing your recovery change to CWM, Now Next step How to use Multitool
Installation of Multitool and Detail features
- Download DrKetan_MultiTool-AromaVxx.zip from end of this post and copy to SD card (Internal / Ext)
- Reboot device to Recovery (Vol Up +Power + Home).
- You will have recovery menu like this(see image below), Select Install zip
- Then select Int/Ext SD card depending on you have copied file location.
- Select file you have copies DrKetan_MultiTool-AromaVxx.zip and hit Entre. (See image)
This will Open Aroma Installer and you will have following Option to perform. Read every option in detail before proceeding.
1.Root
Here you will have two option.
A.Root : You can root your device with this option, Also this option cleans leftover of previously installed Superuser/SU of different superuser app.
In case your device is previously rooted and on reboot you can't see SuperSU app in drawer OR if you unable to update binary, simply update from Play store and it should work.
B.BusyBox - Routinely this doesn't needs and most of app needs root works without this too. Still any of your app demand this then you can select this option also you can do it later too.
2.EFS Backup If you are newbies and don't know why you need this then first read this thread. I recommend all user to make EFS backup if you still don't have.
A.EFS Backup : This will make EFS backup in format of raw imahe efs.img to int SD card MyEFS folder
B.EFS Restore : This will restore previously made backup in case you lose IMEI and need it.
3.Recovery - This is recovery changer tool.
You can switch to different recovery like
A.Philz touch CWM based recovery
B.TWRP
C.Stock Recovery- remember if you flash stock recovery, you will have to use odin to flash CWM/TWRP.
Here is Philz Recovery original thread
Here is TWRP official project website
4.Kernel - You can switch between kernel
Available kernels are
A.NEAK kernel B.Perseus Kenel C.Stock Kernel
Here is Neak kernel original thread if you have any queries for NEAK kernel Credit @simone201 for NEAK kernel.
Here is Perseus Kernel original Thread, in case you have any kernel related queries for Perseus Kernel. Credit @AndreiLux for Perseus Kernel
5.Modem
A.Old Modem LK6 : Don't Flash this on New ROM ME6 and later otherwise you will lose IMEI
B.New Modem MG1 :If you downgrade ROM and lose your IMEI, flashing this new modem can restore your IMEI.
6.backup Restore general - Helpful before trying different MODs, if that doesn't work you can restore previous file wuth this.
A.Backup Framework folder - Will make backup of System/framework folder to IntSDcard/DrKetanMod/framework folder -Needs 100MB free space
B.Backup System Folder - will make backup of System/app folder to IntSdcard/DrKetanMod/app folder. it needs appr 700MB space.
C.Backup to ExtSD - will backup System/app + System/framework folder to ExtSDCard/DrKetanMod. Needs 800MB space.
For Restore select option according you have selected backup location.
D.Restore Framework folder from IntSD
E.Restore System/App folder from IntSD
F.Restore System app and framework folder from ExtSD
7.Bloatware
A.Backup Bloatware - Select this to backup bloatware before removing it so you can restore anytime you need it.
B.Remove Bloatware - You can remove batch bloatware with this. To remove selected bloatware use this tool
C.Restore Bloatware
8.LockScreen security bypass
A.Remove Password - If you forget your lockscreen password/Pin/Pattern, you can bypass security with this option. This will remove PIN/Password and you can reset new. In case you bypass Pattern then you may have pattern on reboot but you can unlock with any pattern and you can reset your new pattern.
9.Prepare device to use TriangleAway Newbies are not knowing about their recovery/kernel so this tool will help to reset stock.
A.Clean device - This will remove all left over of Super user app and SU, also remove Busybox and symlink of busybox. As well this will Replace CWM to Stock recovery. But still clean root access will remain present to use triangle away app. That can be unroot with SuperSU settings.
Again if device doesn't have SuperSU app OR fail to update binary then update it from play store.
Remember after selecting this option your recovery will be stock and if you need CWM, you have to use Odin again
B.Select This If you have stock kernel - If your kernel is custom and you want to make device clean you also have to select this option along with A. to use triangle away.
10.Own Flashing
No more Flashable zip OR Tar needed to flash extracted recovery/kernel.img OR modem.bin
You can extract recovery.img or boot.img or modem.bin from stock ROM by simple unzip tool and put file on Int/Ext Sd card root directory then you can follow below mentioned task from aroma to flash that stuff.
A.Flash Kernel from IntSD
B.Flash Kernel from ExtSD
C.Flash modem from IntSD
D.Flash modem from ExtSD
E.Flash recovery from IntSD
F.Flash recovery from ExtSD

Thanks a lot Doc for the tool and your entire contribution to the Note II comminity!! We sure will miss u! Just a request here: is it possible to work with another recovery, besides cwm? I'm using TWRP, hence the question. Thanks again!!
From the middle of nowhere to the center of everywhere!!
Yeah you can use CWM/TWRP
even you can change it from this tool only (without downloading).

How is that,did you bought other device doc???
I will go with Note3 once out.
May be this one last development for Note2 (unless change my mind )
Sad news for this section,where is the follow button????
I will supoort this section too but there will be little possibilities to develop without device. But sure still will be here for all newbies for their question on any of my thread.
I would like to try this out but I can't seem to find the link.
I guess host is still down. Will have to check after a few hours then. Thanks dr ketan.
We will miss dr ketan's apps and presence in note 2 forums.
Sorry for delay
Download link updated to OP
Finally good news for nOObs!
All in one toolbox by Dr.Ketan, waiting for few day for testing this tool.
Great Job Dr.Ketan. No need any extra zip files. only one file will do all things.
Will Miss your mods.
Can you please provide link for guide of Aroma installer. I have searched in xda forum but can't get proper result.
I have referred few, i will send you link tomorrow from office pc. But truly still not single guide there to explain everything. I have read a guide in note1 forum few days ago and I found it better than I referred.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I think one more utility we can add to this tool.
Flash own choice recovery kernel and modem. As many user still unable to manage flashable zip or tar from .img
So here you can put img file on sdcard and aroma can flash it.
Also looking forward to flash stock rom with aroma so no more prerooted rom you needs.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Hi dr ketan. I appreciate your hard work but your tool can't seem to save to my external sd card. The log says it is trying to create a directory in /external_sd but mine is /ExtSdCard. I think a rewrite of the code will solve the problem. I could send you the log file but I do not know how to attach it here.
Which ROM you have installed? and which recovery you have used ?
Next version have extra feature
- Flash your selected Recovery/modem/kernel from SDcard
You have to just keep your desired recovery.img/boot.img/modem.bin to Sd card.
No more need to have flashable zip OR tar.
Hi everyone, I've been using twrp since I first rooted my nexus 5 but using the recovery tools app I flashed philz recovery and I like it but what are the differences and are there key features I should know about?
Nexus 5, CM11, Franco kernel and Xposed framework
I listed the key features in post 1 of the philz recovery thread.

Backing up what rootSU mentioned below is the list of features in his Philz Recovery thread:
Features:
browse phone with root access using full GUI in Aroma File Manager
terminal access from recovery with root access through Aroma File Manager
Multi Zip Install menu: check multiple zip files to install in a row
Custom Install Zip Mode: set a default folder to start with + browse backward up to the root
TWRP backup and restore support, include full md5 sum support (single and multivolume, compressed and non compressed formats)
Advanced statistics during backup operations shown in color: total backup size, backup size progress, backup time, compression ratio...
optional reboot after custom backups/restores
set special nandroid settings: time zone, toggle md5 check for lightning fast backup and restore, toggle /preload backup and restore, enable nandroid compression using pigz (multi-cpu gzip compression) and choose ors backup target volume
recreate md5 sum check for your cwm backups for compatibility with stock CWM if you need to revert
you can cancel any nandroid operation with back button
create custom_rom.zip from current ROM or from a pre-existing nandroid backup (based on boot, /system and optionally /preload)
nandroid backup path now will be named with current ROM id from build.prop (ro.modversion, then ro.romversion, then ro.build.display.id)
custom backup and restore job list: backup and restore freely any partition combo
support flash modem.bin image files in addition to custom modem.img files, now support for multiple *.bin versions under dedicated folder
during custom restore, you can see the contents of the folder you want to restore from
delete custom or TWRP backups from recovery menu
full wipe before flashing new ROM: wipe user data + format /system and /preload. SD card content is not affected
full support for openrecovery script specifications include all backup and restore options
run openrecovery scripts in 2 modes: on start goomanager boot scripts + one touch menu to either directly open a default path or freely browse for scripts
define ors backup target volume from within Nandroid Settings menu
ors restore path supports stock clockworkmod path or TWRP path
poweroff, reboot to recovery and reboot to download/bootloader mode options
USB mount in recovery
adb root in recovery: just wait about a minute to activate
Overall, Philz Recovery has a lot more features then the standard touch CWMR, such as built in terminal, gui file manger, ability to flash multiple zips and many more (Which are listed above).
Basically, PhilZ is the best of both worlds (TWRP and CWM)
Hi there. I'm currently using the "official" CWM v6.0.4.5, and I do find it quite annoying that it now creates its backups under data/media/clockworkmod instead of the easily accessible .../0 sd partition. I'd love to switch to Philz if only for the theming and OTG support. It looks like it's as simple to use as your standard CWM. So I have two questions: 1) I can just flash the Philz Recovery zip using my current CWM, then just delete the Clockworkmod folder under the data/media folder since I would no longer need it? and 2) Is there an option to backup EFS like in TWRP? Because after reading some of the horror stories on these forums about restoring the EFS partition (granted on a different device), this is definitely something I don't want/need to be able to backup for fear of the possibility of messing anything up.
Thanks for taking the time to help out!

Great. I've always preferred CWM over TWRP for some reason, but now this gives me the best of both like you said. Thanks!
This is a small utility to create flashing via Odin backup EFS or FULL ROM including: bootloader, system and modem.
Usage:
+ Get the root
+ Extract archive
+ On the device to enable debugging of USB and wired to the PC
+ Enter the folder SAMSUNG_SM-N900_FULL_BACKUP_RESTORE_UTILS, run FULL_BACKUP.bat
+ On the device to allow root access adb
+ Select the desired option
* BACKUP ODIN ROM - about 20 minutes.
* When ODIN RESTORE phone automatically switches to the ODIN MODE and extract files for firmware from * .zip archives

It is theoretically possible. But I not implement this feature, from the need to perform a variety of conditions: 1. The need to in the device external microsd not smaller internal memory free space 30Gb. 2. The creation of the backup would take more than an hour. I pursued the goal is to make utility to obtain the firmware from the device when it is impossible to get it by another method, such as when she flew through the air or for create custom Odin ROM. But and for everything else, there Titanium backup
But if you very needs this you can make it into terminal:
Code:
su
make_ext4fs -s -l 27044M /mnt/exSdCard/userdata.img /data

Thanks a lot for clearing up things...great tool.
Very nice!!
will check and report !
Hello There Guys !! :good: :fingers-crossed: :laugh:
Today, I will share you my issue was being solved by this method.
CWM Backup and Restore
When you restore a CWM backup, the BAD MD5 mismatch!
I recommend ES File Explorer which have more features. Like checking MD5, Image viewer, audio, video,blahblahblah!
If your device is not yet usable, Use Notepad++ only. NOT Notepad on windows! as this may corrupt the file!(Tested by me)
Here I have some two methods:
METHOD 1: Checking MD5
METHOD 2: Erasing MD5 values
METHOD 1 : Checking MD5
If your device is not usable at this moment, flash any ROM that will WORK and can be usable. No matter at any if that ROM is LAG, Buggy, OR FASTER, At LEAST Can Install Apps. So We use ES File Explorer. Then when the Process is finished, let's we try to go to CWM and test it out!
OR WE will use Notepad++.
1. Open ES File Explorer
2. Go to /sdcard(or either ext_card whatever you put the backup file)/clockworkmod/backup/(date of the named folder)/
3. Now Individually check their MD5 by holding that item and select details and select Checksum and MD5(sorry i forgot)
4. Write down your MD5 results and Open nandroid.md5 thrn open as text file.
5. Paste the MD5 results NOT THE CHECKSUM and Save it.
6. Go to CWM and select backup and restore and restore the backup file (modified)
7. Done! Restore complete!
mine is working this method 1 so, the md5 was changed. the last md5 of my .android_secure is 35215 but the real is 35211. SO the last digit was mistake! GOOD!
If this method doesn't work, Don't worry! Another Method!
METHOD 2: Erasing MD5 values
If that method doesn't work, follow there!!
1. Boot again the ROM you used
2. Follow Step 2 in Method 1
3. Open nandroid.md5 as text
4. Delete All numbers in this file and save it. Meaning the MD5 is blank.
5. Save it.
6. Boot to CWM and Restore it. This will restore quickly as this may not check the md5.
this method works on my all devices as my restored ROM working as expected.
Thanks! Feedback and replies are always welcome! :laugh:
