I put the latest touch recovery from clockworkmod into a odin flashable tar.

It works with the ICS leak. It is the same recovery as the one you would have to pay for to install with ROM manager, but free since it has to be installed manually with Odin.

TO INSTALL CWM TOUCH RECOVERY........

*Take the battery out and place it back

*Hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug in the USB cable.

*SGH-I727R (Rogers) users hold Vol down and plug in the USB cable.

*Press Vol up to continue to Download Mode.

*Make sure Odin recognizes your phone

*On ODIN, Select the PDA button and browse to the recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.3-hercules.tar that you downloaded earlier

*Make sure the Re-Partition box is NOT checked*

*Select Start and Odin will do its thing.

*It should flash the Recovery file and reboot the phone.

Clockworkmod Touch 5.8.1.3 Odin tar

I found the recovery http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

To use ADB in recovery:

Right click the Qualcomm HSUSB device

Choose Update Driver Software

Browse my computer for driver software

Let me pick from a list of drivers

ADB Interface

(1st on the list) Samsung Android ADB Interface 2.9.319.511 [5/11/2012] (this version # & date obviously subject to change)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KryptosXLayer2:
The latest touch recovery is 5.8.1.5, is it not?

http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

Download from there, I was going to attach it but I'd rather have you get it from the source than from someone claiming it to be a real recovery file
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tpmullan:
Not for our phone. 5.8.1.3 is the latest one that will work with the Skyrocket. I only posted this to make it easier to install on our phone since everyone that installs ICS has to re-install CWM with Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droid512:
so there are absolutely no issues on the SR at all?!?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rjohnstone:

Wow, amazing. Finally a touch recovery, I thought I'll brake my buttons soon with all the flashings:) lol.

thank you very much for making the Odin file.

Confirmed working great on Rogers phone, original i727R, now with Ice ICS (by the way a really good ICS ROM). Flashed with Odin, everything works great even fixed permissions in CW.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cetus90:
I think most of the issues is because of using the bottoms, if you touch the bottoms it just restarts, i thought mine was screwed up until i read that part lol. If not then just go to previous versions

What do you mean? The hercules is very similar to skyrocket, that's why we can use their regular cwm and we dont even have one

sk8erwitskil version of the touch recovery works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] abteer:
Some have problems with nandroid backups though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PMad:
Working fine for me so far. I did a backup, cleared all caches and partitions, installed another rom as well as some zipped mods, backed that rom up and restored the original rom i had which was stock-rooted. No issues at all!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dixit:
I had that problem with sk8erwitskil version of the CWM Touch but I fixed that by doing what he states in his first thread of creating the .hidenandroidprogress file where your backups are going (sdcard for internal or external_sd for external).

After seeing your statement here I decided to give this another go. I basically flashed it the first time, got nothing just like others, went back to download mode, flashed it through ODIN again, still nothing, just screen flashes. Then did it again a 3rd time, still no go. Then did it again a 4th time and this time it works.

What I do see is clear differences in how sk8erwitskil version works and this original touch CWM one. sk8erwitskil version's allows you to scroll anywhere and it highlights the item you want, then you can use the soft buttons at the bottom or use swipe gestures to select, it also allows full use of the stock CWM recoveries like the volume up/down to scroll up and down and power to select.

This CWM method you cant use any buttons, not the volume up or down (does nothing, sometimes I see it go down one item but then it flashes the screen and comes back to the same screen but back to the top item), power button just seems to bring you back to main menu after 2sec delay. You have to actually select the item you want by touching the text itself, cant select off the right (like directly right of it). But it does work for sure.

I think I prefer sk8erwitskil version as it gives you more touch flexibility and still can use the buttons like the original non touch CWM recovery. sk8erwitskil version also lets you see more items on the screen so where you select flash ZIP file, you can see all the NO options and the YES option. The original touch CWM shows you all the NO options, then you have to scroll the screen up to then see the YES option. Same goes for other menu options where there is more than what the screen can show.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onearmedscissor:
So I can get it to work just by flashing till it works? I would have just tried it already but I don't have any free time til the weekend so I figured I might as well ask.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dixit:
It wont hurt anything to try. If it fails say after your 5th attempt and you want to give up, thats fine, just flash back the original CWM (non touch) or flash the CWM Touch version by sk8erwitskil.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
Has this rebooted or shutdown when anyone was using this recovery? I saw that in the T989 forums.

So I flashed this and whenever I try to format system, factory reset, wipe cache, etc.. It doesn't give me a "yes" option. All of them say "no".

You have to "scroll" up on all the NOs. Then the option for YES will show up.

Hey guys, I'm having the same flickering issues mentioned earlier. Its so bad it accidentally wiped my data just now...

When I fist flashed it from inside ROM Manager it work flawlessly. After a couple of ROM flashes it started acting erratically and has gotten progressively worse to the point that it has now wiped the data on my phone.

Could someone let me know how to wipe clockwork mod and start with a fresh install...or another idea to fix this up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrpickem:
Just odin the tar again. I think you are always gonna get a little flicker, at least I do and have flashed 2 different phones multiple times. It works great...just take your time and it stops flickering sometimes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LondonGentleman:
Cool, will do. The flicker was so bad it was unusable...hopefully reflashing will take care of it.

Do you think it would make a difference if I re-flashed from within ROM Manager as opposed to Odin?

CWM touch not working on Skyrocket - confirmed

I can't speak for other phones BUT on my Samsung Skyrocket (Canadian - SGH-I727R) I had nothing but problems with the CWM touch version. Keep in mind I bought it through ROM Manager - so it was the absolute official version.

I tried wiping all data and then flash a previously created nandroid backup but the selection of the operations in the list would work absolutely hectic (as far as the output of a touch gesture) and since the confirmation page (where a "YES" or "NO' would either confirm and start the selected operation or exit to the previous screen) didn't show any "YES" line, I simply couldn't carry on (the screen would only show multiple "NO" lines but no "YES" option). Touching the bottom portion of the screen would be sometimes taken as a "YES" but that trick didn't work when I wanted to confirm starting flashing the nandroid tar file.

Flashing back the classic 5.0.2.7 CWM version solved my problem.

Personally I wouldn't try going back to any touch version again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onearmedscissor:
You should try 5504. It's based off cwm touch but it's open source and better. You can see the yes on every page just like classic cwm, and it's really easy to navigate and use. No bugs at all as long as you follow op instructions. You can even fix permissions in it too. It's on the first page if thus forum

From this link: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip
