[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlownFuze:
I haven't had a problem with it or WiFi yet - but I've only been running it for a few hours.

I knew the old recoveries were not wiping system correctly for 4.3, based on other devs in other device forums. There have been a lot of logs and discussions about the root cause. For a while I have been just trying to morph current existing recoveries with bootimg.cfg, initrd.img, zImage for 4.3 and our device - but nothing worked right. I kept soft bricking my phone and had to keep using odin to re-flash twrp back on. Lol

So I let it rest for awhile while I got these last 2 releases out - I figured I had it running good enough to use for now.

That gave me time to keep working on recovery, since only the latest CWM 6.0.3.7 was supporting 4.3 correctly ( as far as I've heard ).

In the case of TWRP, the latest one sometimes has issues even booting right after a flash. Going to an older version gets 4.3 to run but still doesn't set up the partitions correctly for 4.3 - hence the reboot hangs and crazy log errors.

Part of CM's source ( which is part of the puzzle pieces of code, used to build aokp ) builds a CWM recovery image file. I updated that code, built it with this release, and made a zip.

Flashed it and BAM - butter. Lol

Let me find some links to back up what I've been talking about here...

I'll just grab relevant posts from this thread - feel free to peruse from page 432 on if you want though. Lol

First report of problem, no cause defined yet:

Speculation that it may not be the recovery ( see how difficult it gets to narrow this crap down? Lmao ):

Last link saying "hey, you're warned that the potential exists for bad ju-ju" :

So, that's where I was at when I was initially testing aokp 4.3... That few weeks in my other thread, when I said: " yeah guys - working on it " ... Lol - I was chasing down kernel and recovery stuff to get this thing stable.

If you want more info, just search around. It's pretty much all set now for most devices. But look at us Note people... we haven't really had any updates for recoveries since 4.3 came out.

That's why I've been trying to get this resolved myself - for us to not have to worry about possible corruption down the line, that could wreak havoc for anyone of us. The kernel is good now, so just want insurance on the recovery side of things. You can't be too careful.

With this recovery - you can flash any 4.3 ROM without issue (as far as I know. Lol ) Soooo, you should be able to bounce around to any 4.3 ROM , until other recoveries seem to have caught up.

Basically just my safeguard - the others might "seem" fine... but I know this one is. /shrug :cool: :good:

Definitely not saying anything negative about other recoveries or other dev's work... I just want to be sure of things when I flash. If there's enough speculation, just prudent to be more careful.
