So this is my first Samsung device, so I'm not sure if the method is different from my other Android devices or not. I've read this entire thread twice and couldn't find this information [sorry if I missed it, I've really read the whole thing I believe]. There's mention of booting into CWM recovery a lot, but never exactly how. On my other Androids it's always been press power, while holding the volume down button. On this phone it keeps bringing me to download mode [where I would use Odin]. Is there a separate method for getting into CWM recovery on Samsung devices [This is my first experience with Odin]? Or does the fact that its going into 'Odin' mode mean my CWM install failed?

BTW, I used the cwm-touch.. ..tar file to flash via Odin v1.85

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
Try the three button way. Hold down power, vol+ & vol- until you feel it vibrate and release. Should put you in recovery that being said you already have it installed

Biggest dog on the block, NOTE!! ICSed AOKP or JB, depends
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
Volume up and down along with power. First vibrate release power and continue to hold volume up and down.

Edit:I really hate when that happens. :D

I always seem to be 1 second too late. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JVogler:
Thanks!...I was in an endless loop of going into 'Download mode'

Just to put it out there for anyone looking for a way to root a T-mobile Galaxy Note. I took the risk and flashed the latest touch recovery (4/14) via odin on my new T-mobile Note. It worked great and booted into CWM without incident, I flashed Superuser from my internal sd card and now I'm rooted on stock uvlf5. Thanks a million!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h2447intx:
bump

ok dont know what to do ,, i found touch recovery on line flashed it all is well but its 5.5.0.4 not 5.8.4.3

so i downed it to the phone booted into cw rec and flashed the zip from the OP but after reboot and then back to recovery it still shows 5.5.0.4

so i need the zip for 5.8.4.3 anyone got it or what is the deal ?

thanks

Uploaded beta 1

see post 1 for details

big differences:

- no more swiping

- direct selection of items in the list

- double click an item for execution

- long(er) click does not select/execute

- "dragging" of an entry will move the list (in file selection for example)

- back key is the only way to go back now

- keys still work (vol up/down, home/menu, search/power)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Phoneguy589:
Great job as usual....gonna have to donate to you again one of these paydays!

I swear, I almost posted this question to see if you were able to do this:

Still use the swipe up and down to move but double tap the screen (anywhere) to "select" the highlighted area instead of actually having to touch the line I was looking to choose. I love the swipe up and down feature and I was going to ask if it were possible to do that to your UI but I didn't want to ask....you devs have lives too. ;)

I had the ROM manager version of touch recovery on my SR but I found I would hit the line under the one I wanted sometimes cuz I usually use my thumb instead of poking my screen with my fingertip. I appreciate your work, and Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RMXO:
TYVM, the new Recovery rocks, esp the big fonts!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
well, I haven't seen any other touch recoveries, except for screenshots & youtube videos, so I'm not that familiar with them

I can do the following, as additional navigation:

1) add swiping to a static area in the lower third of the display

2) add swiping to a dynamic area (depending on the menu that is displayed) in the lower part of the display

3) i could disable menu/home, and use menu to toggle between swipe and touch navigation

4) i could not add it at all ;P

screenshot to (hopefully) make it a bit more clear:

"dynamic" lower area would be everything below the menu rows, so it changes depending on the menu you are in

the other one would be the static space

I'm not going to replace the current selection, I like it better than the swiping, because you are more accurate, with swiping you easily "overswipe"

btw, if you haven't tried the latest version, try it, you will see, it actually beats swiping, because it is more similar to the android list navigation (except for the double clicking)

feel free to vote ;P

I would hit thanks but I ran out of thanks for the day LOL!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
Seems like it would be a neat feature if you could have the lower dynamic area show the contents of the sd card or "internal" memory depending on which option was chosen, then all a user would have to do would be [install from sd], look at dynamic area [double tap file to install]. might be impossible to do but seems cool in thought.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Phoneguy589:
Haven't tried it? I think I flashed it before you finished uploading it. LOL :D I live on this site (when I should be learning about modding).

Everyone has their own opinions and I'm just thankful for having a recovery that works properly. The touch addition is a HUGE bonus no matter what you do to it. I was going to ask the question two nights ago but I just ended up deleting what I typed thinking that you've already done enough. The a1 version to me is great as well as this version. (Because I don't know what's possible to do) I was curious if the swipe version could act like a pc trackpad so that I can just tap the screen to select the highlighted area. Of course after I typed it out and deleted it, someone posted about being able to use the capacitive buttons to navigate and select so it was easy to swipe and just hit the search button rather than hitting the power button cuz my thumb is usually near there.

Wish I could do or understand what you guys do and how it works but I have no teacher or time to go to school. :o

BTW: Not sure if you've tried the ICS stuff out but when going back, it says it's unable to open E: cache/ recovery last log. Not sure why but I haven't looked to see if there was an answer. I'm guessing ICS partitions the data files in a different area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
hehe,

well, like i said, i can re-add the swipe feature, just not over the whole screen ;)

also, i haven't tried ics yet, but it looks like the rom is not creating the /cache/recovery folder,

the gb version creates it,

so you could try to do the following (needs root)

cwm: adb shell mkdir /cache/recovery

android:

adb shell

if the prompt is a #, then you are fine, otherwise type su

mkdir /cache/recovery

and then try to reboot to recovery, and see if it still pops up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] djxcee:
Wow this is amazing! Loving the touch interface very much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Phoneguy589:
Here comes my lack of skills :o... ADB says file system is read only. Not sure if I can change it. I tried to add folder and change permissions in root explorer but no luck.

No need to do more than you have already done. If you update in the future and decide to add it in, I'd like it, but I can choose which recovery I prefer now with what you've put out.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:

I added quite a few checks...

1) check if cache is mounted, if not then mounte it, or print an error

2) check if /cache/recovery exists, if it is a folder, if it does not exist create it, if that fails, print error

but apparently it still cannot create both files...oO

Hey I'm on ics and i heven't had that since beta 1 touch! Don't go too crazy its device specific!

Anyone know that Can i flash this to other tablets like HP Touchpad, Xoom, or Galaxy Tab. I like touch feature?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
no,

it is specifically compiled for the i717

the recovery binaries might work on the skyrocket for example,

but the tables have different architectures (cpu, ...)

and also different ways where the recovery is stored

there might be touch recoveries for some of these tables out already though, but they might work/look different
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
Braway, just flashed the most recent update. I now get can't create cache/recovery error. This may be an ics thing that something about the cache folder that can't be written to no matter how you try. What do you use the cache/recovery folder anyways?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
hmmmm :/

well, the cache/recovery folder is used for a few things,

one is that the recovery log is copied there, so that it is available after running recovery, i guess i need to flash a rom tonight :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MobileData:
I installed it and noticed that I cannot access the log file. Is that also stored in the cache/recovery area?

Thanks man! Your progress is amazing... Im sure that this will evolve into the end all for recovery on i717! Im running beta 4 now, and will come to touch in a few more versions... Used to run the collective's touch recovery on my old Inspire 4G and never turned back. Those guys have some serious talent and when they get together, they make game changing advancements on anything they touch. You are one of the next game changers for this device.

EDIT; What I meant to say is you are a game changer already, but any touch recovery is a game changer...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lessthanzach:
Loving this recovery. You do awesome work..

I have one request to look at if you find your self bored: can the hardware keys be illuminated in recovery? I do a lot of stuff at night without lights and it makes it easy to accidentally hit the search button and make a selection instead of the back key.

One other cool feature would be pen tile input.

no worries or any thing, just some thoughts I had
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Phoneguy589:
I had the same thing happen to me but when I booted up it gave me a com.Android.phone fc so I did a restore, installed the a1 version and then the newest version and no more E: cache error. Weird, but it's all good now. I did reinstall the swipe version and no errors.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
Ok, I have a solution for the /cache/recovery problem

seems to be, that something corrupts the cache when flashing ics (at least thats what happened to me)

so in general, your cache should not be working, and that might also slow down your ics experience!

TO FIX IT (at least that worked for me):

in cwm, go to Mounts and Storage

select format /cache and confirm

after that the problem should be fixed. (and your android might behave a bit better)
