Experimental and under development, certain functions may cause damage up to and including data loss and bricking!
Features:
Full touch UI
Working mounts for system, data, cache, external sd
AROMA compatible
4.2 Jellybean Compatible
Changelog:
Fixed mounts, access to external SD for backup/restore and flashing.
Updated to 2.3.2.3. Automounts external SD, built against JB Source, curtain animation removed, 4.2 compatible.
Installation Instructions:
This assumes you still have your drivers from when you rooted, and you have an unlocked bootloader. If not, go unlock it.
Download the recovery image someplace useful, like where you have fastboot installed, or c:\twrp
Reboot into download mode (fastboot mode) by powering on holding volume down, then selecting the usb icon with volume down then power to select.
On the PC, type fastboot flash recovery twrp-thrive.img
Once it's done (should be like 3 seconds) type fastboot reboot then hold down volume down again, this time selecting recovery
Enjoy TWRP recovery!
Alternate Installation:
Flash the TWRP flashable zip in CWM same as you would flash any ROM/Kernel.
Uses the Balthesaur Kernel
Downloads:
TWRP 2.3.2.3 Fastboot Flash image
Flashable Files:
TWRP 2.3.2.3 Recovery flashable zip - Flash in recovery same as any other ROM/kernel
CWM Recovery flashable zip (thanks to dalepl) - Returns you to CWM Touch Recovery, flash in recovery same as any other ROM/kernel
(Unlocked and rooted Moto G with Mokee ROM)
I've read the similar threads and I'm still unsure, so hopefully someone here can clarify this for me.
I want to free up some space. Can I zip up a CWM Recovery directory, like so: 2014-03-29-18.54.23-google.zip
and then if required: boot into CWM Recovery > Install from zip ....
i.e. would that be the same as ... boot into CWM Recovery > Backup & Restore > Restore from SDCard ....?
If so then that would save me about ar400 MB (just for my stock ROM backup).
Also, can CWM recovery install from .7z as well as .zip?
Any and all help much appreciated.
C.
EDIT: To be more specific I mean:
1) adb pull the CWM backup from the moto g
2) zip it in Win7
3) adb push it back to the moto g
4) then use "install from zip"
Anyone?
C.
No thats not possible ich think. Just activate compression while creating the backup.
You need twrp or PhilZ advenced CWM for it

Oh, okay. Thanks for the info. I'll look into PhilZ CWM.

This just keeps getting better and better.....thanks millions....Avi....well collated recovery thread.....its has everything we need....
Thanks for this post, man. I'll try the Stock Recovery for the OTA I've been getting since months. Because I've read somewhere that OTA only works on Stock recoveries.
Edit: The Stock recoveries here are S003 and S011. Mine is S009. Which one should I try?

First thing is
Please dont quote whole post.
it is posted by me only and just few post above on same page.
Ur screenshot is very poor cant see anything please re upload with good resolution.
after pressing that download button u need to connect ur phone in switched off condition.
r u doing this as instructed.??
Please explain the process ur following?
Ur porting cwm means??
Or u mean to say flashing/installing??
which cwm ur using please specify.?
ow! sorry for the way i had posted the thing but thanks for the way you replied- it was quite Quick!!
so, herewith i have attached the zip file (for the better resolution) and jpg file as well (size i could manage within the limitation of this forum) of screenshot where i stuck...View attachment 083.zip
yes, i connected my phone in switched off condition after pressing download button...
i had followed exactly the same way as you have explained for the non-rooted device....
and it was newbie thing that i had written "porting cwm" instead of "installing/flashing cwm"...yes, i was trying to flash/install cwm...
recovery i tried to install is:- [CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch 6.56.2 - cwm 6.0.5.0
Thanks for helping me...
sorry i had just forgotten to mention the scatter file i had used....obviously yes, it is the same as you have uploaded as:-

open SP Flash Tool, then click Scatter-loading button to load the scatter file
(MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt) and ignore any message that may appear.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
however, i had to rename it as MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt as the scatter file i had downloaded had have the name as attachment.php
also note that i had put zip file of recovery [CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch 6.56.2 - cwm 6.0.5.0 and that scatter file in same folder as well....
kindly check if i had done any mistake there...
i have attached the scatter file to which i had renamed...
sp flash tool stuck at download mode?
ok may be i have found the mistake while posting just above the procedure i had done!!!
sp flash tool stuck at the download mode may be because i had done mistake (if it is?! ok, i cant confirm it until i can get xolo q3000 back to me or until someone here can confirm that yes, this was the mistake) as below:_
i had downloaded zip file of recovery
then i had downloaded scatter file of xolo q3000 as mentioned in my previous post
i had renamed the scatter file i had downloaded as MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt as the scatter file i had downloaded had have the name as attachment.php (may be silly newbie thing here!!!)
i had put both those files in same folder
and did rest of the procedure as mentioned by avi3230 (OP) here in same thread for non-rooted xolo q3000 just a few posts above...
...and what should i have done?
i should have downloaded only the zip file of desired recovery and then if i extracted it, i could find that there are all the necessary files including recovery.img and scatter_file within the extracted folder!!!
i would like to attach screenshot of wrong thing i had done:- image named as "wrong"
and what i should have done is may be here:- image named as "may be"
i think i was trying to install zip file instead of recovery.img that should be there in extracted folder of recovery.zip along with the scatter_file as well...so, here now i have got where and why i had confused
Put scatter file and recovery image in same folder.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ok, if zip file of recovery has properly zipped, has properly downloaded and if it has properly extracted then you should find both the recovery.img and scatter_file within extracted folder....if not so, then you should put (get together) the scatter file and recovery image in "same folder" means in extracted folder....
confused? then i can only say sorry for my english but why i had posted the whole thing here? may be because someone can find that what kind of silly things those can be done by newbies....and if so, they can help....

just to add.... tip1: use usbdeview (g00gle) to remove all usb devices before adding your mobile device.
tip2 (based on my experience): try a previous (older) clean version of w!nd0ws also before giving up.

Yeah already seen that no support for philz now.
TWRP is bigger in size and u need to change partition size of recovery.
which is another headache for TWRP.
I already have it but again u need to flash whole stock rom again as whole
preloader boot recovery will change.

is it fully working on both bases - jb and kk? does it allow jb/kk rom switching? what are the drawbacks of flashing whole stock rom again?
what if we make full backup of data (call log/sms/mms/dictionary etc.) and also apps+apps-data using my backup app......
....... - can those be restored in the new setup and be up & running? if so, i don't foresee much troubles. do you?
you being much more experienced, please elaborate. thanks.

As TWRP is larger in size most of the time it wont boot in recovery.
also backing up of recovery wont work on 7mb recovery partition in any cwm based recovery.
So i feel we should stick to philz.

I already have twrp made for device which is easy.
its size is more than 6mb which is the issue.
u can change size of recovery to almost 11mb but then it wont boot in recovery specifically on 6589 chipsets. then whats t use.
to make it boot in recovery we need to change values in preloader.bin which is difficult task.
if anyone working on ubuntu please make an kernel with drivers files from this source.
if using this kernel twrp is less than 6mb then everything will be fine.
I flashed cwm recovery with rashr app on my unite 2. But when I entered in recovery mode, it showed upside down. Plz guide me. How to fix this..???
Looks like a weird problem. Don't use any app to flash CWM but if you have problem with using adb try ROM Manager By JRummy(available on Google Play, root needed) or if you want to flash by the custom recovery download the required custom recovery file from the internet(try using TWRP instead of CWM as there may be problem in CWM) . Download the file and locate it to the SD card and rename it update.zip.Go to the recovery mode and select update from zip navigate to the update.zip and select it.
