Hi,

I am new to android world. Can you please tell me the difference between recovery mode and clockword mode ??? I want to install a zip file to my galaxy ace (s5830, not rooted, Gingerbread ) but it is not working. The website says clockwork mode is required for this . Will i be able to use the recovery mode in samsung phones for this ??

I tried to update using recovery mode on ace but it doesnt seem to work.

Please help!

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Recovery mode is usually the place which will allow you to flash roms, kernels, scripts, etc. By default, you have Samsung's stock recovery mode. Clockwork Mode or CWM is a custom recovery mode that offer much more option than the stock recovery mode. Now assuming that you have Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and not Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i, here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace,

How To Root and Unroot Samsung Galaxy Ace?

Download Root.zip from that link and place it in your sd card. Now switch off the device and boot in to recovery mode (Home+ Power button). Now select "Apply Update from SD Card" and then choose Root.zip. Done. Now you have successfully rooted the device. Follow the same steps for installing CWM too.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
We have several standard method for installing/using custom Recovery console such as flashing "recovery.tar.md5" over Odin 3.07 ( single entry PDA ) >> Obviously you can not access to Download mode , because of your Volume malfunctions . However we can use ADB commands to access stock recovery and Download mode , yet again totally useless , due to critical keys malfunctions >> Android debugging bridge must be enabled inside your developer settings of your device /proper drivers installed inside your PC / USB cable ready at hands / Android SDK tools installed inside your PC or use platform tools as an alternative >> adb reboot Download << >>>adb reboot recovery <<< for accessing both modes without using traditional hardware combo keys.

2. Terminal emulator method >> Rooted phone/busybox from play store installed /correct recovery.img must be present for instance inside root of your sd card /super user or su app must be updated to preferably 3.1.3 ; su binary inside of your super user app must be 3.1.1 ( flashing this file su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip would solve the outdated binary , yet again you have key malfunctions )

after su you may try >

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

(and press enter)

Now, normally reboot to recovery and enjoy new recovery!

if not wait for #

now type reboot recovery

or

this line after su, depends on the sd card block inside your s5830i, fill xx >>

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p<xx>

Caution : S5830i/C/M/5839i known as cooperVE do require dedicated CWM recovery console . Unless you ported your CWM image from here and you have synced the source, updated it and setup the build environment for creating your "recovery.img" ( which i highly doubt that you are capable of such things ) . Sources for your device : 1 ; 2 ; 3

There are 2 types of CWM involved in this process : 1- Temporary zip file which does not come with buit-in kernel inside , so you have to flash it every time through stock e3

2. Comes with kernel for the permanent access to custom recovery upon executing recovery command .

Be advised older temp- CWM ( 5.0.2.6 AND 5.0.2.8) are best suited for stock firmware and custom Roms based on stock firmwares, because of native support for your RFS partitions .

CWM + 6 ported for cooperVE only supports ext2/3/4 and MTD , so do not flash it on stock or the type of rom I did mention

3, Droid manager method : rooted phone/adb enabled inside your device/Net Framework 4. installed /ADB drivers installed /

This is the GUI version and will perform many things such as fie manager capabilities/manage Nandroid backups from a custom recovery/supports both of the major recoveries ClockworkMod and TWRP/fastboot and many functions.

last word , after getting into your CWM presumably how the heck you want to move without your volume keys being active LOL GET IT FIXED .

Hope I did help you and for God sake don't use your wrong recovery.img through Terminal , You will **** it up royally indeed

Hi I folllowed the article in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2675715 which tells how to install nokia x into Karbonn a21.

I installed CWM Recovery 5.x.x.x(I don't remember the exact number).

Then I wiped the cache, data and Dallvik Cache.

After that I tried to "Install from SDCard" > then selected the Nokia X. Zip file

The CWM says, looking for Update.zip and tries to install Update.zip

after 1 min it says update has been installed, after rebooting I can't see the nokia look and feel.

Should I use only twrp Recovery, or CWM is fair enough.

Why does he search for update.zip, can't it install everything inside the ZIP file?.

I did tried to install the TWRP through the fastboot but after that my recovery mode stopped working. I may have to fall back to the CWM recovery now.

Finally, let me know anyone who tried to install this on Karbonn A21 and succeded.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Here is the Advanced Power Menu (APM) that gives additional reboot options as shown below.

​

Odex is for the stock ROM or CleanROM.

De-Odex is for the de-odex base'd ROMS. However, if you are running a de-odex based ROM it may be a custom ROM, and it may already have this! I do not recommend flashing this over any custom ROM without verifying it will work with your favorite ROM dev.

My collection of 1.55.605.2 Based Stock ROMS are HERE! These mods work on both the odex and de-odex versions!

Thanks to [MENTION=2344903]AngioNicholai[/MENTION] for originally porting this to the old base. I just ported it to the new base.

Notes

I dont recommend this on ART mode!!!

This does not remove kid mode! You just need to delete the APK that is called "kid mode" for it to remove from the menu. I did not script it in as the intent of this mod was to add the reboot options :highfive:

Download HERE!​

Hit Thanks and enjoy!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Please use this mod any way you see fit! There are no restrictions on use. Just give credit when appropriate.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ReyStunner:
Nice, I can remove some xposed modules now. If only it had screenshot option though, then it would be PERFECT.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
I hear ya!

You can do a screenshot by holding Power and Home Key.

But I may look into adding screenshot at a later time!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JWhetstone02:
or you can use power + vol down :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Nice one. Downloading now!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] boricua95:
Awesome! Really appreciate this Scott.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheMavic:
Thanks a ton for this Scott!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ReyStunner:
Oh I'm aware of the various ways. It's just that I have a slim fit case on so it's hard to press both power and volume the same time. Also I've disabled soft keys and solely use lmt to free up screen space (always hated on screen buttons) so it's pretty awkward tryna swipe and hold down power lol.

The advanced power menus on other roms I've used usually have that screenshot built in. I've found xposed modules that do the trick but I like the look of this one.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] henrys01:
Do I need to do something to activate this? I have installed the zip but I'm still not seeing a different power menu.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Did you press restart after holding power? Thats where the extra options are. You wont see anything different until you do that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] henrys01:
Doh! There it is. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Haha! All good man!

Did anyone happen to test this with art if so did it give you any problems?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Nice man! I will link this up tonight when I get out of work.

Thanks for doing this and saving the time!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Yes, the original one I made does not work. I stated I recommend not trying. I dont know if Angio's will work. Maybe he can answer.

But I have not been successful at getting any modded files to work. But on the same not I havent really tried either, lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] AngioNicholai:
Will not work on ART, won't boot if flashed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Yes, that is the same as that happened to me when I made the first one.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] teddyearp:
Is there any more movement on adding this? Not asking for an ETA, and I know it's easy other ways, but I'm an old dog and too used to this trick.

TIA
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
No movement at all. I had planned to do it yesterday, my only day off, but said screw it. Slept all day instead. Maybe I can get it ported to our base tonight. In reality its a 15 minute job.

I was hoping he would further define the changes I listed above so I am not porting somone elses modded code not knowing what it does. Nor do I want to deviate from stock settings either.

I'll take a look tonight. Should be easy. I ill just port out the changes he made as noted above.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] teddyearp:
Not a problem at all bud. I know full well about feeling like sleeping away your day off. And doing it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
I tried last night, his files bootloop the device :crying:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] teddyearp:
Cool, thanks

I also wanted to point out that for me the odex version got me stuck on the VZW bootanimation, however I am sure it is because I am still on the 1.12.605.11 version of the stock ROM. All I've done so far is root, S-OFF, and flashed the latest radio and the 'stop OTA nag' file.

Used TWRP 2.7.0.2 to flash.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Yeah, you are running an older version so... That will boot loop. Part of this mod is changes to android.policy.jar. Needless to say that is a mega important file and if it is not signed with the correct ROM version (or someone hacks it to disable it) then you will have a non booting phone.

I think that may have been part of this issue with the second part of his hack.

I may look again though, just because... Who likes to quit?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riekkir:
Hello XDA members,

I was hoping somebody would help me out, I'm fairly new when it comes to installing custom roms so I require your patience. I don't know how to install a custom rom onto my Bell Atrix HD MB886, everytime I try it says abortion failed, what can I do to fix this. I have wiped data and all that probably 5 times in the past week alone. I would like to know how to successfully install roms without errors. Both the times that I have done this I had my bootloader unlocked, and I had clockword recovery mod latest version 6.0.4.4. I bought an SD card today to help install the roms because otherwise I can't do it from my internal storage. I really hope somebody can help me out. :)

Regards,

Roger
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Hi there. A failed abortion certainly seems like an issue... ;) I guess I am not totally clear on the status here. You say that you had CWM. Do you still have it? Bootloader is still unlocked? What rom are you trying to install? Are you certain it's for the Bell version and not like the AT&T one? What is the exact error message?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riekkir:
No I don't have it atm as I just wiped the data/cache last night but will I already have CWM, I just need to unlock the bootloader and try again...I'm trying to install this one:

Android 4.4.2 KitKat Mokee Rom, and it says the version is a nightly. Yes I'm positive it's the Bell Version as I purchased it at a Bell Store and my carrier is Bell. The error message is "Installation Aborted." It begins installing, and then halfway through I get that error message. How do I fix this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I figured you knew what phone you had. I was wondering if you had a rom built for the Bell version vs an ATT one. But since you are using a CM based rom, it obviously doesn't matter. Curious as to why you are bothering with relocking the bootloader? But I suggest to either try a different version of the rom, or to change your recovery to one of the Philz Touch versions as that's what some of the other users in that thread for the rom for your phone were using. You can find them here:

http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/moto_msm8960
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riekkir:
No I was bothering to unlock it again, not lock it. Where can I find different versions for the 4.4.2 Mokee Rom? I've tried using the Philz Touch version: Motorola Atrix HD One Click Philz recovery installer and when I tried it a couple of times it said it failed to install although I'm not sure why. I came across these images the other day but how do I use the .img files on my device, as I'm not sure to proceed from here once I have them downloaded.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I was curious as why you relocked it in the first place.

Where are you getting Mokee from that doesn't have a link to their Downloads?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riekkir:
thanks will try this out and let you know later how it works! :) I download the custom rom from true android blogspot.ca (can't post links just yet, annoying).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Right on. Well, you should bookmark the thread here on XDA because that's typically where the action happens. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riekkir:
Okay so I'm trying it now and the program won't even open :/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Odd. I just downloaded it to test and I didn't have any issues. If you can't get the actual application / exe file to open, then just use the Main-Skip.bat. Does the same thing.

If it doesn't open still, make sure that you have your anti-virus off as sometimes those interfere with programs like this. Might also try as admin.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riekkir:
Okay I wasn't looking at the actual .exe sorry, I got it to work and all I installed the Philz One Touch Recovery from that program, just downloaded a different rom and all and then I select the apply update from external storage and when it gets to the verifying update package, it gave me the same error message as yesterday, Installation Aborted.

So again, how do I fix this, am I doing something wrong? Why won't my custom rom install?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I don't think that is the most updated version. What's the version number of the recovery that was installed? It should be listed on the main page of it when you boot there. I was suggesting to use one of the new ones. It might have something to do with the SELinux support that KK roms need. You just have to put the img file in the tools folder and rename the new one the same. But here's no other error that shows up other than Installation Aborted? I was thinking usually it would have an error code or some other message.Have you checked the md5 of the rom zip to make sure it's not corrupted (if the dev provided it)?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riekkir:
Use one of the new versions of that program or to use the latest CWM which I have been. Okay I really don't know how to do that and where to move it to, how do I do such a thing? No it just says Installation Aborted... How would I do that? And yes I downloaded the new rom directly from his site.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Look in the tools folder of the zip you downloaded. Download the newest Philz Touch img from the other link from earlier. Rename it to replace the one in the tools folder. Redo the recovery install. But you didn't say what version you already have.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riekkir:
Okay that did the trick, properly got philz recovery installed, did the install again, this time it worked, clicked reboot and now it's stuck at the Dual Core bootlogo screen :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Did you do a full wipe, including wiping /system?

If you didn't, it should be under Mounts and Storage > Format /system of something of that sort.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riekkir:
No I forgot to do that dammit, can't get into recovery mode and my computer doesn't recognize my phone now, think I bricked it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Pop the battery out for a bit, then pop it back in and hold Volume Down while powering up. Should get you into fastboot where you can skip to the recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riekkir:
The battery doesn't come out of my phone as you can't take the back off. I got into fast boot easily them selected recovery and nothing happened, I think my phone is screwed :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Oh yea, forgot you have to undo the screws on the bottom. So you scroll down to hit recovery and use the Power button to select and it doesn't do anything? That's odd.. Try and reflash the recovery since you can still get to fastboot. If that doesn't work, you're not totally screwed since you can still get to fastboot, that means you should be able to restore it to stock and start over.

Alternatively, if you have fastboot set up, you could make sure that philz touch is in the fastboot folder and use this command:

fastboot boot recovery nameofphilztouchfile.img

If you don't have fastboot, then just grab this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 , drop the recovery img in that folder and open the CMD prompt on your computer and change directories to it and run the command.

Google Maps Gets A Huge Update To v8.0 With Better Offline Maps Management, Lane Guidance In Navigation, And More [APK Download]

What's New

Before we dig in, here's what's new in v8.0. Items in italics are not on Play Store list.

Turn-by-turn navigation now displays distance, arrival time, and quick access to alternate routes

Save and manage offline maps in a custom list for when you're traveling or have a slow connection

Transit results now display total walking time of your trip and the next scheduled bus or train

Sign in to see your “Places to review” list from recently saved or searched-for places

If you have the Uber app installed, open it right from Google Maps when comparing route options

Bug fixes

Lane guidance in navigation mode (US and parts of Canada/Japan)

Adjust and name offline maps before saving

Search filters (price rating, open, from circles)

The Navigation app gets a slight UI tweak this time that brings it more in line with Google's new aesthetic. Navigation also includes easier access to alternative routes and other relevant data about your trip. For some reason, Google didn't include lane assistance in the changelog.

Here is the Amazon USA site link:

I just put it on today and can say that the packaging was very premium and that it went on and fits perfectly. It is much less expensive than a lot of other options out there and I couldn't imagine any other's working any better. They also have lifetime warranty replacements too.

It is fitting nicely with my Spigen Tough Armor case. :)

I purchased this same one. I was VERY impressed with the packaging, they even give you the rubber bands to hold it on for proper positioning. love the feel of it.
