[HELP] PhilZ for Exynos

[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION]

I swapped the ramdisk of the stock recovery with PhilZ recovery and changed some values of the fstab table .

Voila !! PhilZ recovery works on my SM-N900 Exynos WITH one problem :confused:

PhilZ recovery does not detect the external sd card.

I cannot backup/install to/from the External SD Card

Everything else is working fine.

I cannot share it yet because I do not have your permission and I'm not allowed to PM you

Can you please help me with this ??
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phil3759:
This is actually very good. Try to post recovery.fstab from stock recovery here so that i can help you fixing it.

Sure you have my permission once we fix it
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] iamsuperuser:
[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION]

I had change values in two files

recovery.fstab &

fstab.qcom

Found this in /ramdisk/sbin/bootscripts_mnt.sh

# in +cm-10.2 voldmanaged devices:

# internal sd is always /sdcard which is a symlink to /storage/sdcard0 or /data/media (no more /emmc)

# external sd is now /storage/sdcard1, no more /external_sd

BOOT_SCRIPT=$1

INT_SD=$2

EXT_SD="/storage/sdcard1";

I guess the problem is that the external sd card in Exynos devices is designated as 'extSdCard' unlike qualcom devices where it is 'sdcard1'

If you can fix this then may be we can have a fully working philz recoveery for exynos devices
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phil3759:
Post info i asked about

That shell script has nothing to do with mount storage

It is only used by rom manager and ors boot scripts
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] iamsuperuser:
I Did post the info you asked about, attached a zip file in my previous post

Here is code in recovery.fstab anyway

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phil3759:
You must fix your fstab file

Use adequate mount flags

Use proper fuse path

Use new vold storage path

Check existing vold fstab in stock boot/recovery images and examples from existing devices

I support many exynos devices without problems

Also, avoid doing what you are unsure about. Using a qcom kernel on an exynos based device is risky and can end in bad situations

Either you do a proper port or you are on your own.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] iamsuperuser:
Yaaaaaayyy!!

I tried a lot modifying the fstab as you suggested but I'm a noob when it comes to compiling anything

So I swapped a lot of files from Chenglu CWM Recovery ramdisk and kept your 'sbin' the same.

Voila everything works now !! I can confirm this

Still waiting for permission from Chenglu for using most of his ramdisk before sharing

Thanks for all the help Phil3759
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] FeralFire:
Congratulations, man. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Razor29:
Iamsuperuser Congrats I am also a relative noob in such areas so it's great to share in others victories Waiting for permitted and proper release since I favor philz recovery by far ... thank for the work and for trying even though you were in rather unexplored areas of your own expertise CONGRATZ
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] lancejackson:
Can't wait for you to post it!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] iamsuperuser:
Me too :o

Been playing with it for a while now, no problems at all running absolutely fine. ;)

All thanks to Chenglu & Phil3759 :good:

I also updated the root files, edited install-su.sh and added Superuser.apk :cowboy:

So there is no need to download SuperSU from play store. :victory:

I still do not have the permission from Chenglu thats the only delay.:highfive:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] iamsuperuser:
Seems like lot of the users are facing bootloop issues , my apologies for the inconvenience.

It ran fine on my SM-N900

Please do not download my port
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] FeralFire:
Make a new thread. It would be easier for people with the Exynos version to find it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] iamsuperuser:
Too late already ported by halaszk PhilZ-Touch Recovery Ver: 6.25.0

Thanks to halaszk for making a proper port :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kiru:
I have a N900W8, which version of this recovery should I use? Do use the unified version? Or the older version for the "can"? I tried using the unified version but I cannot back up to the external SD. I think it due to the fact our phones don't call it sdcard1
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sauron82:
It depends on which bootloader you have. Use the unified version if you're have the 4.4 bootloader.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kiru:
I have the 4.4 bootloader and am currently using the unified version. Is there a way to change the external SD card link from sdcard1 to extSdCard? This way I can back in and Restore from my external card?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sauron82:
Can't help you, running fine for me. Using Philz 6.19 with NB7.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kiru:
Maybe I will try an older version like yours as I am using the newest cwm from Phil
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sauron82:
Didn't even know there was a new version. Recovery's not something you keep changing; if it works you keep it. But I'll try it out and see what's changed.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phil3759:
Even if you name it THIS_IS_MY_CARD it won't change anything. You are mixing mount points and volume path
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sauron82:
Hey Phil, what's different between 6.25.0 and 6.19.3? The changelog in the main thread only talks about jflte.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kiru:
Thanks.... I meant can a new version of your cwm be recompiled with the correct ext SD card? Or is there a way to change it within cwm? Or does cwm automatically pick it up?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phil3759:
then just read the main thread again, mainly page 1
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] 4l3gU:
I don't know why but every time I restart the recovery does not keep in memory the date previously modified... suggestions??? thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sauron82:
Installed Philz 6.25.0 for hlte on N900W8 and can confirm it reads internal and external no problem. I can browse files on internal and external and backup to both as well. Not sure what is causing your problem, try reflashing.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kiru:
Thanks.... I will try to reflashing. Did you use Odin to flash? Everytime I do a backup to the the external SD, the back up completes, but the files seem to disappear and not on the extsdcard. Internal is fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sauron82:
I used Odin originally for 6.19.3 since I was coming from stock and had it running anyway. 6.25.0 I flashed from within 6.19.3 recovery, then rebooted recovery. Backup files confirmed on both internal and external SD; I just ran the backup and didn't actually check before.

The only thing not working is when I plug in to my PC and select mount USB storage, only the external SD gets mounted, I can't access internal from my PC. Not a problem, but it'd be handy to be able to access both. If I'm remembering right, I couldn't access either with Chenglu's CWMR before I moved to Philz.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zmfl:
I finally rooted... Recovery works great! A lot sleaker than the last version I had on my S3 6 months ago :)

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] roozbeh158:
Yes.my phone after mount usb storage;only mount external memory card.internal phone memory not mount.my recovery 6.25.0.

My odin is 3.09.

WHY?!?!?!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] FeralFire:
Cause it is not supposed to.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sauron82:
Why isn't it supposed to mount internal? It'd be handy.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kiru:
I finally found my problem. I had a bad SD card that for some reason got corrupted and became read only. Once I changed my SD card and reflashed the recovery everything is working fine now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] FeralFire:
I answered this question a few pages back.

Anyway, due to the way the internal memory is partitioned in android, it is not possible.

The Internal SD card, the data partition, the system partition and all are part of the same memory. It is not possible to mount any one of them separately.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] celderic:
My motorola xoom had the internal mounted at data/media and in recovery when i mounted usb storage both the sdcard and the internal where mounted. So do you mean this is a problem with the n9005?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sauron82:
I think they remapped the partitions in 4.2. I used to be able to mount internal on my old Galaxy Ace, running CM7.2 and CM10.1, but not on my Galaxy S Vibrant running CM10.2 or CM11.

Click thanks if I helped you
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] FeralFire:
It was actually ICS, afaik.

Ok, I googled around and found this. Hopefully, it will clear up all the confusion.

Thank u, done

but this is something new, did not face with PhilZ JB cwm:

each time i flash something, and at rebbot, I get this message:

ROM may flash stock recovery on bo

THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE

then i get 4 choices :

no

yes-disable recovery flash

no

go back

I think the right choice is : yes-disable recovery flash

this means disable rom from flashing stock recovery back, right?

just wanna be sure
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] FireWall123:
Yes. Disable recovery flash is the right choice.

Sorry guys but I upgraded from GS2 to note 3 does philiz recovery works as signed zip package which can be flashed from stock recovery without changing official or flash counter nor knox void warranty and if it does which version for this 4.3 sammy rom
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thermax04:
السلام عليكم

I think to flash Philz cwm, you must have root first, which you can do the proper way and keep Knox 0, but as soon as you flash Philz cwm, you will be Knox 1 and lose warranty
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] gee2012:
[MENTION=3235153]thermax04[/MENTION] No, you don`t need root to flash a custom recovery with Odin if you use a .tar file.

[MENTION=4521884]msasm09[/MENTION] use root de la vega to root, this will not trip KNOX void warranty for you.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thermax04:
Help me guys

I was doing a backup now, when i hit backup to sd as usual, cwm freezed, nothing is working!!! never happened before!!

it freezed for about 4 min. then started to work!!!

how i can check if this backup is good or bad?

Iam note3 running v6.26.6, using it for a week now
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] gee2012:
As far as i know all firmware versions from KK MJ2 and older can get root without tripping KNOX with Root de la Vega.

Quote URDLV:

What devices are supported?

Just about every Samsung device with KNOX! (Excluding Exynos based devices)

Samsung has caught on and has started patching bootloaders, you can still root, but you will trip KNOX.

If you are running MJ4, MJ7, MK1, MK2 or higher you can still root, but you will trip KNOX.

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

I would delete the backup (maybe corrupted) and create a new one just to be sure :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] msasm09:
Ok but regarding philiz recovery flash side effects do it void any warranty flags or flash counter or official status sorry for making many requests I don't want to spam forumn but just to get sure thank you all
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] gee2012:
If you flash a custom recovery KNOX will be triggered to 0x1 on all firmware versions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thermax04:
ok, it does not matter that backup, but why that freeze happened?

i just rebooted now, deleted that backup, rebooted to recovery again, started 2 make a new backup, and it started as normal

Maybe selinux perms are messed up for adb/mount usb storage on PC

For now, I think it is all I can do without a phone and proper debugging :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Yank555:
Just a thought, as I can't have a look right now (on the go) to the default.prop file in your ramfs...

I use the folowing in my kernel :

#
# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES
#
persist.security.ams.enforcing=0
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=0
ro.debuggable=1
[b]ro.adb.secure=0[/b]
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,[b]adb[/b]
ro.securestorage.support=false

Maybe you can compare it to what you have.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tr72:
ADB is fun but for me the most important is backup and restore which already work. I just would like to have the true date on recovery name. Sometimes I try custom rom (and backup before) and with the date I know what it is. For the moment I rename in an explorer when I finished the backup, so I can live without true dates.

Thanks for your work and great recovery

Hi

what about the counters?

is it Knox 0x0?

Hey [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION], could not send you a PM so i`ll write it here. I used many of your recovery`s o various devices and they always worked well but i noticed on the N3 that after a few times touch sometimes did or didn`t work, and sometimes booting up recovery takes about 30 seconds when going in recovery mode (didn`t make logs at that time). I appreciate your work very much but we should be able to comment on glitches also, and this has nothing to do with personal preferences btw. Greets :)
