I'm very happy to announce, that a developer raidzero from rootzwiki forum, has made us a fully working recovery for Samsung Galaxy w i8150!

You can download it from here:

DOWNLOAD

TEMPORARY LINK .... USE THIS IF FIRST ONE DOESN'T WORK

THANKS TO andynroid FOR PROVIDING LINKS!

Flashing recovery is very simple, all you need is root access on your phone, and adb on computer. You just copy downloaded recovery on internal sdcard. Then disconect phone from copmuter. Make sure that USB debugging is on. Now connect it again but don't connect phone memory (computer shouldn't see sdcard and internal memory in Windows explorer), open command prompt and got directory where adb is installed, now enter this:

adb shell
$su
#dd if=/sdcard/RZR-2.1.4-ancora-rec.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

This is all. Now turn off phone and turnd it on like this: hold Volume Up + Home + Power button, when Samsung sign appears relese power button but still hold other two, until recovery is loaded. Bamm you are in, and ready to flash something, or backup :D! Expolre the recovery, it has a lot of options, you can even choose what color of menus you want :).

I would like to thanks raidzero again for all his effort he made! And also big thanks to arco68,for much need informations he provided!

We can now expect, that when developing his recovery and adding new goodies, this recovery will follow others!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] klingel_One:
great news!! Thanks for your effort!

Has anyone had a chance to test the Recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] radgoos:
Will this work on the Samsung Exhibit II?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] lipanz:
thanks mate.downloading now. just in case it needs to be recovered. after this we would see custom roms developed by our developers here..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
I've tested it and it works :)

I wouldn't bet that this will work on Exibith II cause every phone has different partitions.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snake873:
after giving me the command you said to me reacts to: permission denied.. Whi?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Definitely...BTW can anyone adv us the rooting method Odin or....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snake873:
can you show me a screen when you give the command adb?

when I try to restart the device in recovery restarts continuously and never give me the recovery menu
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Thanks again, will try this ASAP, just a few questions:

Is /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 the Recovery partition??

Is it been overwritten by the dd if.......of??

Should the original stock recovery?? be backed-up/saved first??

Is there an MD5 or anything to check file integrity:

This could be used on the Device: Android File Verifier

Can the procedure be done using Terminal Emulator on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nakTT:
Do I need to have stock ROM for it to work?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
There are two possible reasons for this either you didn't run su command first, or you don't have rooted phone.

1. Yes /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 is recovery partition

2. It is gonna be overwritten with costum one.

3. You can back it up that you reverse dd command. Or I can upload original recovery.

4. There isn't MD5 cause noone made it , you only need MD5 file if you would like to flash this via Odin.

Do you know any custom rom for our phone :D? But no it is not rom related.

What screen? From computer or phone? Your phone need to be turned on and booted in android when running dd command.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snake873:
From computer

ahahaha ok ok I did thank you very much for your patience:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
qzem......top marks for your persistence

Thanks, gotta learn ODIN first,

btw, thanks for the ODIN d/l........installed it, but still unsure how to proceed???

I have latest Kies installed on my laptop, any reason why you do not use it?? It appears to allow back-ups and restores, also new firmware d/l.

As I am new to Samsung, and also ODIN, but does using ODIN have advantages over Kies, and is it safer to upgrade new f/w with ODIN or Kies, do you lose root, or anything else??

BTW, on the MD5 thing, for the RZR-2.1.4-ancora-rec.img

I used MD5 Checksum Tool from http://www.novirusthanks.org/product/md5-checksum-tool/

to generate the MD5.

I just think it is good security practice to check file integrity before applying on your device, as many things can happen, like data corruption, while transferring file from download on Laptop to SD card, and best to check file on device SD or Internal Storage with AFV against MD5 generated at source.........

which I did not check at source, but I am just illustrating for example!!

[BTW, lots of MD5's on rzdroid.com recovery ftp site, here, but not sure of our .img file

The above MD5 is what I got from the d/l file

Thanks again, I saw your stuff with raidzero on rootzwiki.........

top marks for your persistence, and a good result for all i8150 owners. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
Well I really don't know that is better to use Kies or Odin. If you want official and (what is supposed to be tested) firmware, tha you better use Kies (but well even with kies your phone could get bricked, I've learned that from one user here :D). If you want to flash latest firmware, which sometimes is not availible on all the countries, and you can't get it from Kies fast enaught, than I suggest odin is the choice. I prefere Odin, cause I don't like official stuff ;).

To use Odin is very simple. You need to turn on phone with Volume Down + Home + Power. When you are prompt (on hte phone),wether to conutioue od cancle, you connect phone and computer with USB cable, and choose contuinu, now you are in download mode. Then all you have to do, to choos proper .ops file (button OPS) in odin, an proper firmware (usually you choos that under One Package button, if you have one package in tar.md5), then you wait for chekcking md5. When is checked you just click Start, and wait for stuff to happen.

Don't forget that there is a possabiltiy that something might go wrong with flashing, but it is not that big one. I suggest, that you first made full nandorid backup with recovery, if something goes wrong, you can boot you phone in recovery and restore it totaly. And one more suggestin when flashing, do it with latop(if possible), so that you have battery and power cable plugged in laptop, if electricyty goes out, that you still have battery to run laptop.

And thanks for the support you guys are showing to me, since I'm not a developer. I try really hard, to get people that are willing to help us developing better roms for our phone :D!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nakTT:
Spot on. I just need to know if it is ROM related (that I need a ROM file on my PC).

Thanks for the reply.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fender90:
Hey there, just a noob question:

Where are adb drivers installed? I'm working under Windows 7.

I tried to google this and ended up here /developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

and downloaded the first two files, but I'm unsure what to do now. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] klingel_One:
Hey qzem,

Am I right, that the adb driver should be installed, when i first installed Kies?

Is your Guide How-To Install the recovery also working on my mac? I think so, or am I wrong?

Perhaps you already figured by now, I'm new to Android!

There is one more thing i can't seem to figure out:

In foreseeable future, there are hopefully some nice custom roms for the Galaxy W. Do I have to install recovery everytime i flash a new Rom? Or is it like a bios, that has nothing to do with the actual Android System?

Thanks for your help in advance
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
For adb, you need to download Android SDK from here. Download zip file and extract it somwhere. Than go in folder where you have extract it and run SDK Manager, from there you will install adb rivers and everything else. When you are done (it could take a while, to download and install everything), open Command promnt and follow the instrucions I've wrote in first post.

The same goes for mac users, there is also Android SDK for mac. You can install Kies before this, but you need both because kies includes drivers for this phone exactly. As far as recoverey goes, if it is not included in ROM, which you flash, I think you'll need to install it again. I hope that developers will include recovery in their roms.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] klingel_One:
Thanks so far qzem,

It seems like theres someone in your Cyanogenom-Forum-Post qzem, who is trying and willing to help making a custom rom. But he seeks for som guidance!

Perhaps someone with experience like, arco can take him under his wings!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Zetup-EXE:
Hi there,

i would like to thank you. Everything works like a charm.

thx.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
Don't vory I can upload it tommorow. But I don't think you'll need it any more:).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jayidoans:
reverse like this one ?

#dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13/xxx.img of=/sdcard/

or what is the original recovery file name ?

cant wait till u upload the original recovery :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Zetup-EXE:
@jayidoans: like qzem said. exactly like he wrote.......... but.....

...don't forget to do this (like me :( )

@qzem: I would be happy if you could upload the original recovery rom...

...it's just for the case that some hardware issues occur and i have to send it in (u know sometimes some errors maybe hardware errors although the device is still functional a little bit. i.e. like Computer RAM errors and something)....

...so could you please so kind :o

thx.

Can anyone provide the simplest way to root the SGW n leave it until the ROMs are available....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
Search for Doomlords root/unroot toolkit or Superoneclick under Android Software Development.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] raidzero:
This is happening because the instructions in your updater-script are our of date.. here;s how to avoid it

instead of using write_raw_image, just use run_program(/sbin/flash_img). This will first attempt dd and if that fails it will use flash_image.

I just added this recently so you should grab the newest version of RZR. (Not yet released, but it never has been for the galaxy W yet so... ;) )
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] r4ff261:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
I guess you've got the old version of the recovery, that has the problem of looping back into recovery. You should try redownload it from the link I've provided and try again. If it loops again, I have provided backup of the original recovery so that you won't need to reflash firmware, only use dd command to get original recovery back. But I believe you won't need to, cause this new one should work.

How to do this??

Is the updater-script contained within the RZR-2.1.4-ancora.img??

Can the .img files be extracted?? using Windows??

I tried wunyaffs.exe as shown here:

http://android.modaco.com/topic/303...oid-img-file/page__view__findpost__p__1213989

I get the "broken image file" all the time!!!

Is there a link for the latest RZR, so I can update the wiki, if that's OK....

Sorry to be Noob, but just to try to keep up!!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
If you click the link in my Recovery thread, you will download the latest RZRecovery :). But I've experianced some problems myself, so I will talk to raidzero about it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Sorry to multi-quote so many posts, but I just need to understand, explain as I understand it, and follow on logically....I will comment after each quote below.

snake873 was flashing his Animus 1.1 ROM, using the original RZRecovery, but got into a problem with the updater-script, which was fixed using the newer Recovery referred to by raidzero below.

This refers to the updated RZ Recovery, which is available as a flashable zip:

http://www.rzdroid.com/ftp/recovery/gingerbread/2.1.4/RZR-2.1.4-ancora-update.zip

The RZR.img [RZR-2.1.4-ancora-rec.img] file is contained within the above zip:

These can be verified on here: http://www.rzdroid.com/ftp/recovery/gingerbread/2.1.4/RZR-2.1.4-ancora.md5

Soooooo sorry to be noob, see above for explanation of updater-script, etc.

So friends, do we have fully functioning Recovery?? [thanx to raidzero]

and

the beginnings of ROM dev for this phone?? [thanx to snake873]

I will update the wiki, if ppl don't mind, and ppl can also modify as required.

Sorry for being so long-winded here.......:o

"E:\Can't find misc" - Same Problem here :( - I have the rz 2.1.4 recovery flashed. so i thought i can do a workarround and create the folder "misc". But i do not know where E: is located at?

Any idea? or does a newer 2.1.4 exists?

E: Can't find misc

E: Can't find misc

E: Can't find misc

E: Can't find misc

but all the menu's are there and you can access them all but for e.g when you go into a menu like nandroid menu and then back out to the main page it'll say E: Can't find misc , is this normal or? I've also flashed original then flashed this recovery. I've used a similar recovery on the San Francisco (Clockwork) and had something like this in the past but forgotten what it was.

Hello XDA!

First of all, I would like to thank all the people who are working for the custom rom for this phone. I'm looking forward for the ICS rom for this phone, since samsung is not being clear wether they'll bring ICS to our GW, hence I ended up rooting my phone. I am new new to the android rooting world, and I love all the apps that I installed which are only exclusive to rooted phones. (Juice Defender, SetCPU, etc.)

Now my question is, why does everytime I install apps on my GW, it won't work unless I reboot my phone? Is it really necessary to reboot the phone, or I just did something wrong? I rooted using zergrush, done Flashing RZRecovery and installed some apps for rooted phone. Thanks in advance!:)

Could you elaborate on that? I still haven't got it to work properly.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
Hello guys! Sorry for not answering your posts, I was pretty busy with my job and I didn't have much time to participate here. For all of you that have questions for raidzero (the creator of this recovery) I suggest that you write your questions, under his official thread, you can find one HERE. There is a bigger possiblity that he will answer you and solve problems. Thank you all for your enthusiasem that you've showed here!

Have a nice day everyone! :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
Hmm, you are having very strange pproblem. I don't think there is anything wrong with the steps you've taken for rooting and recovery flashing. There might be some strange bug in your rom, maybe you should try flashing some other samsung galaxy firmware and repet those steps, or try using KezraPlanes custom rom, which is already rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
Hey man I belive it is still not fixed. I haven't talk to raidzero for a while, cause I was pretty busy, and I think he has the same problem of being busy :D. As I reffered two posts back, maybe if someone else will also write this problem in his thread, he will look at this again.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] superganey:
Actually, this problem started after I installed quick boot. What really happens is that after downloading an app from the market, when I tap 'open' after the download, the android market would go to the quick boot android market page instead! If I close the market and open it again, the market would crash so the only option is to tap 'open' the quick boot and restart my phone. After restarting, the app will automatically install by itself. So after installing the app and I run the game, it would download the remaining data. When the download reach 100%, it would just get stuck at 100%! So I reboot and run the game again, and that's the time that it'll finally work. Happened twice to me already (after downloading virtual city and FL commando) It's all because of that quick boot, I guess.

I'll try to investigate more and do some tests. If all else fails, I'll try out Kerza's rom. Thanks for your help bro!

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
Command prompt or cmd in windows is where you write commands in line (look attached picture). You can find it if you have Windows 7, just klick Start (windows icon in left corner of the start line) and in search write cmd. Or you can fined it under programs -> Acessoris -> Command prompt. I really can't explain it better. Then in cmd you have to navigate to the directory where adb shell is installed. In my case this is cd /android-sdk/platform-tools. Also in this folder you have to copy the recoovery .img file. Then just run the commands I've written in first post. I hope I helped.
