yet another badly written script

PhilZ and new CM SR need to mount partitions before using them

TWRP doesn't require it, but I decided to merge this into CWM sources.

Normally, editing the script this way should fix things:

#!/system/bin/sh

/sbin/mount /data

# make dirs
/sbin/busybox mkdir -p /sdcard/EFS_Backup/;

# backup partitions
/sbin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst1 of=/tmp/efs1.img;
/sbin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst2 of=/tmp/efs2.img;
cd /tmp;

# 7z file
/system/xbin/7za a -tzip /tmp/efsbackupflashable.zip *.img META-INF/;

# move files
mv -f efsbackupflashable.zip /sdcard/EFS_Backup
mv -f efs1.img /sdcard/EFS_Backup
mv -f efs2.img /sdcard/EFS_Backup

Thanks in advance....
[Android Software Development] danarama:
Hey [MENTION=4818927]HassanM[/MENTION], long time no see...

FYI, this recovery is no longer supported. The general advice is, if the version you have works, keep using it. If not - move to another recovery. You could always try and find an S3 dev to build latest, but ultimately it's pointless.
[Android Software Development] HassanM:
Hi mate.... Ive been around.... Howve u been???

Anyway thanks for the info.... Philz is running pretty good on both S3/S4....

By the way, which other recovery do u recommend? ?? TWRP, I believe. ...

[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] thank you for this great recovery, used it since the beginning. Sad to see it stopping though, really loved it and will continue too :)

Now I have a Note 4. Wont flash anything until I see your recovery there hopefully ;)
[Android Software Development] voxluna:
I know this thread says "End of support" at the beginning, but it seems to have new questions and answers even after that was posted, so I'll try here.

I have a new LG Optimus L90 (D415) with stock 4.4 ROM, and Philz 6.58.7 (and previously, TWRP) for recovery. Obviously, it's been rooted and has an unlocked bootloader....

My problem is that neither recovery will back up (or even mount) "/data". Note that I put that in quotes because, without having "/storage/sdcard" or something in front of it, I presume it's an internal folder and not the external SDcard.

My first guess would be a problem with encryption, because both the phone and the external SD are using it -- and I never get asked for the password. Either way, the actual error in Philz says it can't access /data/philz-touch for the .ini file, and in TWRP it says (four times) that it can't mount /data.

If it really

is

the SDcard and not the internal storage, then only one Google result seems relevant: it says to run chkdsk against my SD. But I can't see the external SD as a drive from my Win7 laptop -- it's only an MTP/portable device or something. So if it really were corrupted, I'm not sure how to fix it without the little microSD > SDcard adapter.

Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] danarama:
Philz doesn't support encryption. Use TWRP

actual lg encryption from L90 is not supported. Use my Philz_Touch_6.58.7 it mounts both sd-cards ;) LINK

Best Regards
[Android Software Development] voxluna:
Yes, excellent! I have been chasing down all these versions of recoveries and ROMs specific to the L90, but I could only find a 6.57.7 version in the CM11 thread.

In any case, I love Philz, it has so many things that nothing else does. Substantial things... the little progress bar is sweet, for example, but it also has really important items like NTFS support. I reformatted my SDcard with it, because I need to use a journalling filesystem, apparently.

ANYway, I am not so sure TWRP handles (Android) encryption, either... that's why I came back to Philz again.

Hi there are a few version of the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 that have no support for a custom recovery.

Source files have been found and are ready to be worked with.

The devices we would like to bring support to are the:

T330NU source file:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/UG28maH2ce/SM-T330NU_NA_KK_Opensource.html

T335K source file:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/9Y4qzw1zce/SM-T335K_KK_Opensource.html

T335L source file:

T337a source file:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/21kf9dZYce/SM-T337A_NA_KK_Opensource.html

If ANYONE is willing or knows someone who could be willing to port a custom recovery to these devices it would be greatly appreciated if you could pass on the message and spread the word. If we all do work together we should be able to get this done.

There are many people who are willing to test the final work. Thanks in advance.

How to reinstall?

I installed it once, tried to flash a few zips but constantly got status error 7. I thought it might be a problem with the philz touch recovery so I thought of reinstalling it, but even after deleting the zip file for the recovery my phone still boots to the philz touch recovery... Why? Is this gonna effect anything?

Would be thankful for any guides and tips
[Android Software Development] danarama:
Ask in your device thread how to flash a recovery. Deleting zips won't help but a development thread is not here to teach users basic knowledge about using their phones.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

That recovery is not moving forward so there is little point bringing it to new devices unless someone can take over the main project
[Android Software Development] MrHomebrew:
I'm just spreading the word looking for someone who may be able to point the group of us in the right direction for getting something going on this device. There is a gap when it comes to support for the tab serious and it is like the Tab 4 8.0 got forgotten. If we had a custom recovery we could start customising roms, etc. Anyways I am not trying to go off topic from this thread. If anyone does see this and can help in any way thank.

Port cwm to galaxy Tab 4 8.0

Hi for days now me and a few people have been trying to get a custom recovery ported to the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 Tn330nu for example.

We have the source files for the device.

We have boot.img file pulled from thedevice

We have recovery pulled from the device

Only thing we do not have is someone to assist or possibly port cwm to the device for us.

We have been doing as much research as possible looking at guides and talking to others trying to build the resources.

We have hit a brick wall and could really use some help. We would really appreciate the time taken to make this happen. I know everyone is busy and this may not be your everyday device but it is like the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 was forgotten and left out for development. The Galaxy Tab 3 and pro have support so it would only be right to have the same for the tab 4 8.0 t330nu.

The files I spoke of I can include or send download links if needed.

I apologise for taking up room on this thread but we really do need some assistance. I would not mind assisting in future development so this would be a great learning experience. Once I have a better understanding of the process I would gladly pass on the knowledge just hope we can find someone who is open and willing to give us a chance.

I, my self, moved to TWRP

This was the only way for me to be forced to stick away of updating my sources. It is a hard decision for me, but I am no longer going to add any line of code to CWM sources.

It was one year exactly, the last time I booted into TWRP. The last version I tested did really important improvements, GUI wise. But also the scrolling is now even better than what on PhilZ Touch. The MTD feature is really great for /data/media

Based on the evolution of CWM and CM Simple Recovery, continuing with PhilZ Touch means a completely separated project to maintain.

Building a recovery, needs an Android Developement Environement. Stock recovery relies on AOSP, TWRP on Omni and CWM/CM-SR on CyanogenMod environement.

What ever environement I choose, it means a lot of work to fix issues whenever a commit is made to core parts and even device trees. That's because none of the mentioned teams will take PhilZ Touch into account

Most CM device maintainers are on TWRP. That's why CWM is broken for many devices. The device maintainers push commits and never test them on CWM/CM-SR. LG G2 sereies, hammerhead... are just examples with broken GUI for months. For each of those devices, without skilled maintainers (like the devs on Sony devices and a few other brands), I am alone to support this

As I said, I got many important projects in real life, and I have no more endless hours to do all of this. It also has no sense in my opinion. I'd rather focus on a valuable project like TWRP than waste my time on a useless redundant alternative.

There is still improvements to do for TWRP, like vold support, a better kernel modules support, backup/restore improvements in code... So, I'd rather commit fixes to TWRP than start this all over.

I am away from coding for the next months. When I'll have time, it could be I am back. If TWRP is still improving this way, I will commit any fix/improvement I do to the TWRP repo

Again, this is not a CWM/TWRP competition. Some devices still have far more stable CWM versions than TWRP depending on the dev maintaining the device tree. My decision is about future and time efficiency.

Maybe once CM-SR will improve enough to be attractive, but for now, it has a few years to gain maturity (it is just a few months project).

I preferred to post this instead of letting people waiting like many devs here on xda do.

I am keeping this thread open for general help and support. I will keep monitoring it, but no more any other device thread, except Galaxy S4

Keep in mind that for now, the sources are solid rock and can continue to be compiled and used probably for the next few months, and much more for older devices
