I didn't go back to stock. I just installed a non-touch cwm recovery via odin and then did a darkside wipe, then flashed miui. I'm good now. Just have not had to use Odin for a while, and this recovery was why I had to (did not have this with any other recovery, and I've probably flashed miui at least 20 times in the past week:p).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kangelov:
I only flashed it twice. Both times I ended up with crippled recovery (TWRP once and CWM once) and every ROM I flash after that hanging or crashing. This includes stock when flashed with Odin. I am sorry I wasn't of much help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
did you try flashing darkside wipes with the touch recovery? you cant say for sure it was this recovery if you didnt flash darkside wipes with this recovery. the darkside wipes are what fixes what the rom messes up. its completely ridiculous to say it was the touch version because (like ive said a million times)

this touch version is the exact same base code as the non-touch version

the parts that install roms/backup/restore/wipe/etc., are EXACTLY the same code as the non-touch cwm. literally the exact same code.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
It's not ridiculous because when I was able to reboot cwm touch the first thing I tried to flash was darkside superwipe. It froze no matter what I flashed. You cannot discount the possibility that the interface could cause issues. I also concede that any software can effect each (slightly unique) device differently.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kangelov:
It's not the recovery man, it's the ROM you came from. It corrupts your recovery. ODIN recovery fresh and it will work, trust me!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
I've already done that (did it as soon as it happened), and the rom did not corrupt TWRP recovery. I had already flashed it at least a dozen times with that recovery, and then flashed known stables afterward with no problem. Now, it could be that that particular ROM version and this recovery don't get along... I will concede that. But I've been rooting phones since the g1 and have only had problems with all cwm touch recoveries (not just your creation... please, stop taking offense).

A lot of people are obviously enjoying your recovery, op, so you must have done a great job. I'm just sharing my experience in this forum that allows the free exchange of information.

I never meant to bash your work:D.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kangelov:
It's not my work, I am a user, just like you. I've seen the problems you describe, but I fixed mine the way I explained earlier. If you tried it and it didn't work, then your case is different. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Not sure if it's a rom thing or not but I just backed up my PA rom amenities took about 20 mind. It's also not my first back up for the recovery. What's a normal time frame for this? Seems a bit too much. I'm still on 6.0.1.2 version prior to this new one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] perknite:
I referenced the op (forgot the name), so that part was not directed at you. Thanks for the advice, though. The intent to help is appreciated, believe it or not.

So I have CWM 5.0.2.6 on my GS2, how would I go about updating to this recovery?

Nevermind, I figured it out!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
No one has commented on my post still... Why does it take over 20 minutes? And right now my current back up is at 30 minutes so far. Am I the only one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
try switching to the tar backup format in backup&restore>>choose backup format and see if it takes that long.

also, when you are backing up are you deleting your old backups first? if you are then thats why its taking a long time. incremental backups are faster. the explanation is in the OP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Ahhh haaahhh. Yes I deleted them first. Yhis lastnight one took over 30 mins :(

I will try bith next time. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
i usually leave 2 old ones at a time. ill backup up and then delete the oldest one so theres always at least 2 backups in my clockworkmod backup folder.

a little feature request:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phil3759:
Hi,

I am interested in porting your touch version to the i9100 and pack it in my PhilZ-cwm6 kernel here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877270

However, I noticed that the last cwm6, start from 6.0.1.3 are built around busybox 1.20.2-jb instead of 1.20.2-cm9-static

This is giving me issues with custom bootanim refusing to play whenever I try to use any cwm after the 6.0.1.2. Strange thing is that the sh script will run fine in terminal, except the bootanim never stops of course

Do you have any clue?

Thank you for the support
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
hmm i never even realized that busybox was updated. i would try using an old busybox binary from a recovery.img that works using unpackbootimg.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phil3759:
It is strange why the bootanimation script does not work on boot with this updated busybox/recovery while it works in shell

I even tried the newer cm9 bootanimation binary and disabled stop bootanim service line, no change, it does not play. If I restore older cwm with cm9-static busybox, it is fine again :confused:

Thank you for the support. I will test a bit more on my side

I have one more question:

This source:

https://github.com/sk8erwitskil/android_bootable_recovery-touch_changes

is only for touch changes in cwm6 or it also includes your custom menu?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
thats the touch changes for cwm 5.5.0.4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phil3759:
I see, thank you (out of my 8 thanks today) :good:

Do you have only the touch changes for cwm6 without further custom settings, that is add only touch to original cwm6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phordych05:
rename backups...???

if you could make this so that we could rename our backups...this would be THE BEST RECOVERY EVER...thats the ONLY thing that twarp has on this...please...could you try to add that in...thanks again...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
The dev has addressed this. He said making a keyboard will be difficult and ATM does not know how to. Of course , things could change.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] erickwill:
Thanks again bro! Nice work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] apicia:
Just installed this and it works great and looks terrific. Question: Do we need the Darkside Cache script? Does this recovery properly wipe the cache, dalvik, and fix permission? Thanks.

Also, I see fix permissions and also sk8's fix permissions. What is the difference (guess I need my first question answered to understand this new option).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
No need for scripts, all is working well. As far as your second question,sk8 fix permissions, read op, second post , last paragraph.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
You don't "need" the darkside scripts. But they're nice to have in case anything ever goes wrong and you want to start fresh. But using the built in wipes will be just fine.

As for the fix permissions question... (I think I put this in the 2nd post. Maybe i didnt tho. I'm on a phone and too lazy to check right now) my sk8's version runs quicker because I disabled logging and also my version will delete stale data directories
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] apicia:
It's good to know I can just go in and wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions without breaking anything. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phil3759:
delete please
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] apicia:
What is the key combo to enter recovery with this version? I used sk8s permissions fix option, after wiping cache and dalvik. Phone was still acting funky (FCs on Maps), so I reentered recovery and used the darkside cache/permission script. Boot loop! I never get boot loop when using darkside cache/permission script.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
hold vol up + down and power. to fix that just do a regular wipe. there is a bug that sometimes happens after doing the darkside wipes. all you have to do to fix it is do a regular wipe of everything and itll fix it. its the most thorough way to clean everything as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] apicia:
Thanks. Recovery totally went bonkers on me. I could enter it, slowly. Then any options or commands would just freeze. I had a corrupt recovery. I could not wipe or install anything via recovery. I had to Odin back to stock ICS and reinstall recovery.

Question. The Darkside tools or stored on the EMMC (internal memory)? I often wipe my EMMC and SD Card to get rid of everything before a clean install. For years, there were no files needed on emmc or extsd that were needed. I should skip the wipe of emmc or extsd?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
theres not really any need to wipe emmc when you install new roms. the only things that are on your emmc are pics and videos and downloads. all the stuff that pertains to your rom is stored in system and will be wiped when you install your new rom. but if you want to wipe emmc all you have to do to get those files back is flash the zip from the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] erickwill:
Cool! Thanks for the new update!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:
Thanks for the update bro
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] I Am The Frost:
Runs nice. Thank you sk8 for making it easier to flash ericks Jb rom. Touch seems less sensitive witch is nice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] apicia:
Thanks, I did finally figure that out but my brain was burnt from the failed install. I wiped everything, then reflashed the recovery to get those files back. Installed Eugene's Plane Jane and everything is running fine.

What I encountered is after using sk8's permission fix, the phone would reboot fine. The problem was after using sk8's permission fix, the darkside permission fix would result in bootloops (breakage). Is this because logging is turned off?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
it shouldnt be because of logging. maybe the fix_permissions script inside of the darkside scripts are faulty. ill have to look
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] apicia:
Thanks. The darkside scripts worked fine before using sk8's permission fix. It wasn't until after using sk8's permission fix (along with wipe cache and dalvik) that the darkside cache script would cause breakage (hang at kernel boot screen).

edit* Dumbass move on me, thats the installer that has been updated. I dont think the file manager has been yet. Disregard, my bad guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
the filemanager actually has been upgraded. if you download the one from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25911428

delete everything inside this folder: /{internal sdcard}/clockworkmod/.aromafm/ and put aromafm-1.21.zip as /{internal sdcard}/clockworkmod/.aromafm/aromafm.zip then it will be updated for you to use.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
yes. is there another location that it could be? if so, i can edit it to look there as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
FYI.....

NEW: I have created a script to easily update to the latest version of my recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
I think /data/media. But i was just asking for people running stock and kernel not supporting bootanimation.zip
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
if someone on a stock rom with bootanimation enabled can confirm /data/media ill set it to search for it as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
i forgot to put that once you use the updater script it will reboot you into recovery. and from there all you have to do is run openrecoveryscript (select it from the main recovery menu)

Thnks for the update! And I was wondering what does the openrecoveryscript do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Typed this five different ways.can't get it to work using commands

Keeps saying bad interperter permissions denied
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
which part are you trying to do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
updater.sh using adb and su neither work for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
can you post the output? or the error?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
basically it says bad address that the url is not obtainable
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:

it should look like this

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
my boy has phone now playing games. will post when i can. Probably something simple in the way though. One my file just says updater.sh not skyrocket or hercules. I just put sh / mnt/sdcard/updater.sh after su commands of course. It will say no such directory, permissions denied or bad address everytime.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
you have to manually type the word skyrocket....

you type this :

sh /mnt/sdcard/updater.sh skyrocket

the word skyrocket is an argument you have to pass to the script. i made the script compatible with the hercules and the skyrocket so you have to tell the script which phone you want to download for.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
did that still does not work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
here's what i get. i even tried spacing the words and adding hercules after updater.sh. I used sh /mnt/sdcard/updater.sh and sh /mnt/sdcard/updater.sh hercules.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
It works great for me as you can see from the screen shot. Is your sdcard mounted on /mnt/sdcard? Do you have busy box installed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Yes sdcard is mount point and busybox installed. No big deal I will just flash as usual
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] erickwill:

Can't get phone back into CWM it keeps going to screen to choose download mode or restart phone. what do i do? please help. CWM was installed. I was trying to install a rom but i could not find it. i tried restarting phone but it would not restart. i think there is no operating system on it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
what rom were you trying to install? and what happens when you hold volume up+power?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
you wouldnt have to send it in. if you can get into download mode you can fix it. first thing i would do is try to install this cwm using odin: http://d-h.st/8QR

open odin and select the PDA tab and then select that recovery.tar and flash it. then try to boot into recovery using the volume up+power combo. if that doesnt work you might have to just odin back to a stock image and then restart from there. if you do odin back to stock your sdcard should all be fine still as odin doesnt touch your sdcard memory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blacura:

Noobie question here

Skyrocket i727 with CWM recovery 5.8.13 - UCLF6 - 3.0.8 kernel - rooted

Problems shutting down and rebooting... maybe the old cwm version doing it?

Can I easily update to this newer touch CWM, and if so, how?

(any recommendations on a <STABLE> JB ROM build?)

-------------------

ROMANS ROAD!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
that recovery has been known to cause issues. you can update to the latest 6.0.1.5 recovery by flashing the zip file in the OP of this thread.

there arent really going to be any completely "stable" JB roms only because JB was never officially released for the skyrocket or hercules. i use cm10 (which is jb) and never have any issues even though its not labeled as stable.

I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S2 running Jedi Mind Trick X1 with CWM v5.0.2.6. I want upgrade to this recovery? Do I just need to flash this zip is CWM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phil3759:
Hi,

As discussed by PM, here's my modified code of PhilZ Touch 3 recovery

First, how it works:

Open Recovery Script Support (ORS) *Credits to sk8erwitskil

When you tap the ORS menu, it first looks for /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript installed by goomanager

If it finds it, it is run and phone will reboot

If no goomanager job available, it will look at default locations for your custom scripts:

/sdcard/clockworkmod/ors then /emmc/clockworkmod/ors folders. Put your custom scripts there with file extension .ors

That way you can access your jobs (flash, wipe, backup, restore...) instantly

If no scripts are found in previous 2 steps, you get option to browse both sdcards for a custom locatiom

To learn how to write ors scripts to automate your backup/restore/wipe/flash tasks, read here, it is very easy: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/OpenRecoveryScript

Give Goomanager a try

Aroma File Manager Support *Credits to amarullz and sk8erwitskil

You get here the possibility to browse your phone with root access in a friendly GUI file browser, while being in recovery

You even now get a terminal emulator to run in recovery

Download Aroma File Manager from its Home Page

Get the 1.80 version and name the file aromafm.zip

Put the aromafm.zip in clockworkmod/.aromafm/aromafm.zip in external or internal sdcards

You can eventually put it elsewhere, but you'll have to browse manually in that case

In recovery, tap the ORS Menu

It will first look in default locations. If it founds the aromafm.zip file, it will launch the file manager automatically

Else, it will let you browse sdcards for a custom location

Putting it in default locations makes it a tap and lauch button

All is in one file, I kept it in extendedcommands.c in one continuous section. But could go into one file like you do with kyle.c

Source code (until I got githubbed...)

yes, I still didn't start learning to use github to submit code :silly:

http://pastebin.com/xSgx6T7M

http://pastebin.com/e8BjJZaK

I will maybe, when I have more time, make it easier with one step less for ors:

If script is detected on start of recovery, it is launched + reboot on success, like with extendedcommands scripts

It should be easy to do: script would go in recovery.c after extendedcommands code
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sk8erwitskil:
very nice. thanks for making it that much easier. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phil3759:
you did the biggest part

Big thanks to you

The hardest is dive into the code and learn its parts. Took me a bit... but thanks to people like you, myfluxi, kbc-developers... that share their code over github, it is much easier and quicker to learn the recovery functions.

Hope to jump on the github wagon soon

this got me into no booting at all. I can access recovery but no matter how many times I use the darkside cache wipe it wont boot after it shows the samsung logo
