feedback

I am not current with everything i guess... I did not see that there was a update for the recovery.. I will make a new zip for our flashing needs.... LOL:p

Post #19 has the new philz recovery link to the zip.......
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] rlanza1054:
Good morning,

I re-downloaded the .zip file.

I hope I'm not imposing on you too much.

I extracted the .zip file last night and I did not really know what I was supposed to do.

Right now, I took the new version of Philz.img and renamed it recovery.img and place it in the root of the sdcard.

Should I just try again to run the .zip from the older version of CWM?

I'm trying to avoid having to hook the tablet up to the PC to do the fastboot install method.

I did see some instruction for doing it using a terminal window?

What do you suggest or what do I need to do now that I re-downloaded the .zip file.

Thanks again.

Rob
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] lj50036:
flash it

No worries on bothering me.... Just flash the new zip from your recovery... That will get you to the version of philz recovery
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] rlanza1054:
Hi,

I think it worked!

I'm saying I thinked it worked because when I look at the version number after I ran the .zip file I'm still seeing at the bottom of the Philz Touch 6 Clockworkmod v6.0.4.7

But when I go to the menu option Philz Options then down to About and then the screen updates at the bottom and its saying Build version 6.12.8

So I guess that means the update took. I was expecting to see the version number listing 6.12.8 not 6.0.4.7.

Is this correct?

I'm going to ask you another question that might solve an issue I'm having Installing Nightly's automatically.

Under the menu option Advanced, the fith item labeled '-Storage set to /data/media/0'

Is there anyway to change that.

I think the symbol link if I'm using the correct term is incorrect.

When the system is up and running there is a /data but there is no /data/media/0

So CMIntaller is not able to get to the Nightly file, since the Nightly is located /sdcard/cminstaller/

Cminstaller is expecting /data/media/0/cminstaller/

Do you understand what I'm trying to convey?

Thanks

Hello Phil, was wondering if is safe to flash this recovery on ME301T, since both tablet are pretty much close, or you need to do some magic trick to make compatible? Thanks, keep using it on my HOX+ without problems so far. Regards!

Is it Suitable for Asus TF300TG??
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] rlanza1054:
Hi all,

This probably has been asked before. I just read someone's question and answer.

It wasn't clear for me.

I'm running on TF300T with Philz Touch 6 version 6.12.8 along with CyanogenMod 11 Rom.

I want to upgrade to Philz Touch version 6.41.6 which I believe is the latest.

Is it possible to take the .img file I downloaded and apply it without having to totally wipe my device and can I do it from within Philz clockworkmod.

It is not a zip file. So how can I do it or do I really have to hookup the usb cable and apply it from a windows system?

Thanks

Rob

Hi,

Its been some time. I'm not even sure your active here.

I'm wondering if you can create a new .zip file based on the latest philz_touch_6.41.6-tf300t.img, which is now available.

I would like to perform the upgrade without having to hook up to the computer. And possibly not wipe the system but I have clockworkmod backups.

Thanks

Rob
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] lj50036:
Ok unzip the old zip file there will be a folder and a file in the zip

We are not worried about the folder but the file which has a name like blob or boot.blob something to that effect....

All you need to do is rename the new .img file to match the old files name

Replace the old file with the new one rezip and flash it from recovery...

Let me know how you get on...

Thx Josh
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] rlanza1054:
Ok, I unzipped the old one that I downloaded from post #19.

Inside the zip are several files and directories.

The structure is this:

Top directory is named the same as the image file

Philz_tf300t_recovery_VGA.12.8

Inside this directory is:

Folder: META-INF

File: boot.blob

Inside the META-INF folder is:

Folder: com

Inside the com folder is:

Folder: google

Inside the google folder is:

Folder: android

Inside the android folder is:

2 files:

File: update-binary

and

File: updater-script

Inside the updater-script file is the following script:

show_progress(0.1, 0);

package_extract_file("boot.blob","/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");

ui_print("");

ui_print("Done");

That's all!

So when you say rename the

new philz_touch_6.41.6-tf300t.img to what's inside, do you mean I should rename it to boot.blob not the update-binary.

After that re-zip the whole package again?

Can I rename the zip or would I have to leave it to the original zip file name which would be the old philz versioned named.

I'm also concerned about what that update-binary does?

And what that line in the script file which is a location of /Dec/block/mmcblk0p4?

Thanks.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Frostbiter:
After using this on my phone, I'm excited to see this for my tablet as well. So far the only thing that I have found not working was the mounting the SD card through the recovery doesn't seem to work, it was connected to the computer when I mounted it but my computer couldn't see it. It also seems that the recovery is a bit slower on my tablet than on my phone, d2spr, though it might just be the tablet itself.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Phil3759:
mount usb storage relies on device tree, kernel and rc files

Without the device or repo maintainer fixing it, it is hard
[Asus Transformer TF700] Frostbiter:
Ah okay, well so far that's the only bug in the recovery I noticed, and I wouldn't have even noticed it if I had remembered to put the kitkat gapps on my device before wiping it. Haha

Really nice job though, I'm glad you brought it over since I've had issues with plain cwm in the past and twrp doesn't seem to be getting updated at the moment I thank you for bringing this to my tablet.

Nice recovery, It the best Ive ever come across. I Dev for CMB ROMS, I have made a flashable zip, so you can flash it from your current recovery.... I have this posted in the Download tab of my ROM forum... Its not my recovery, all credits will be given to Phil3759 It can be linked and given away as any open source recovery, I only say this on the ok of Phil3759, If he would like me to remove it, I will...

Thank you so much Philz!

I was dreaming about this, is not a joke, I've been using your amazing recovery in my jfltexx since always because it's the best.

I would be glad to help you.

Write this in the terminal:

su

dd if=/sdcard/download/philz_touch_6.08.9-tf700t.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

Reboot your tablet and that's it.

You could rename as you wish, also, I'm running CM 11 so the file directory might be different.

Or you can flash the zip that lj made.

Dear all,

I wanted to install CM on my HOX, but didn't read any instructions. (found out about 'S-ON' bit later then I should have :crying: )

With 'S-ON' and bootloader UNLOCKED it seems I can _only_ flash the boot and the recovery partitions (and erase the cache partition). Although 'fastboot flash' to boot and/or recovery partitions ends with 'OKAY' I didn't get it to work. Shouldn't it be enough to flash a e.g. 'clockwork' image? (flash to recovery) Or can I only install official HTC images because of the 'S-ON' setting?

What I don't understand is the following commands --could anyone please explain what it does?

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Although I still would like to install CM, I settle for any hint to get my phone back again with any freely downloadable version/ROM.

Kind regards, Luke

Ah no, you can put the phone in the bootloader and put this script in your fastboot folder

Execute the script from that folder with admin rights. It should reboot the phone over and over. It will charge slowly. When it reaches 3800mV you flash the recovery.

Hi,

I buyed a 64gb sd card for my I9505 from ebay : http://www.ebay.de/itm/321281740225.

I copied from PC to the S4 (64gb card) a mp4. file.

But when I restart the phone or else the file don´t show up more?

I also search the mp4. file with "root explorer" but no solution.

When I connect the sd card with the PC, It´s also don´t show up the file so I lost it.

Can Anybody help me?

(Sry for bad english ;) )
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Language is not a problem... a few questions:

1. Have you used "USB device unplugging" from your PC, or have you just pulled out the plug? Sometimes Windows is buffering and writing the files (especially large ones) even if it displays message that the process is complete...

2. After purchase, have you formatted the card from the phone's level?

3. Are you sure that you have copied the file into EXTERNAL SD card, not to INTERNAL memory?

4. If you'd try to copy any small file, what's the result (before doing that, see 5 below)

5. Have you moved the file (copy on PC would be erased), or have you copied it (copy is still existing on your PC and you could use it)?

If you have moved the file - dedicated for SD cards and/or for PC data recovery software may work for you to restore it.

6. Have you reset the phone? In some cases I experienced the fact that copied file was not visible on the card until I made the phone reset
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xn0live:
first thx for the fast answer !

1. I just pulled out the plug.

2. Yes I format It to "Exdata" there Is also "NTFS" that I can tick. But I formated with Exdata.

3. Yes I´m very sure ;)

4. I copied also a small file (5mb) It´s the same result :/

5. I moved and copied files.

6. I came from 16gb sd card It´s perfect worked. Do I really must reset the phone ? :/ or just a option?

just a question: Why is there no option for format to "fat32"? There are only Exdata and NTFS.

To format 64G as fat32, you'd need the special software (please read more info here. BUT, please remember that I'm not certain if your phone would recognize that partition correctly.

Put the card in the reader, connect to PC, try to copy the video and other files. Try different types and sizes.

Remove card, put it back in PC. Are all files visible? If so - place card into phone, turn it on, and verify it.

If I remember correctly it was just overwriting the first few bytes of the misc partition with boot flags when it should contain the firmware version instead. Commenting it out in the fstab should be enough to prevent it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
Ohh yeah, you should be good if it's not even in the fstab.

I don't think anyone meant to imply that it was someones fault, more of just a heads up about it. As far as I know leaving it undefined doesn't hurt anything so it's unlikely anyone ever took the time to troubleshoot it.

It's incredibly easy to fix but there was no way to get s-off when a lot of people had it happen to them. So it could turn into a pain if you needed to run a RUU.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:

Hey capn, 3rd post mentions this is based off 4.4 CWM branch, so it would reason it has SElinux, but that obviously isnt confirmation. Do you still have the misc file to fix the broken partition if this breaks it?
