dude...your clip image in your sig is f*cking hilarious! I crack up whenever I see it.....
The sh*t people come up with.... :laugh:
So can someone give some background on this update? I did a backup to my extSD card and it doesnt backup the applications. I also see a 'blobs' folder when I look at the backup folder in root explorer.
Whats the difference between .dup and .tar in the advance backup options. Any info would be appreciated.... thanks!
So after doing some digging around, I found out a bunch about this new version of CWMR/CWMTR.
First,
You may notice a 'blobs' folder when you do a backup. Don't panic, this is now part of the backup process.
Second,
You may find that your backups are completed reasonably faster after the initial backup and your backup folder for that particular backup is also significantly smaller as in under 100mb smaller when it used to be close or even over 1gig.
Touch Recovery does not make a "full backup" anymore. It only backs up what has changed since a previous backup, and keeps track of the changes in a clockworkmod/backup/blobs folder. This is pretty cool because its designed to save on space and speed up the backup process. So if you look at your 'blobs' folder, its size is going to be HUGE. Thats where all the files that once made up your HUGE zip backup are located.
Hopefully you guys find this info a little more helpful....because I had a ton of questions after seeing how this new version created backups, etc.

ooooo, you don't want to do that. The Odin flash-able image is ONLY flash-able through Odin. If you want, you can extract the recovery.img file from within it, and use THAT file to flash via Terminal.
You can ONLY flash a *.img file the Terminal way.
You can flash custom recovery three ways:
*.img flash-able via Terminal
*.tar, *.md5 flash-able via Odin
*.zip flash-able from within custom recovery
Good luck!

I think he meant that he wasn't able to use just the img so he had to use the odin tar.

For those of you who want a Touch CWM recovery on your phone I have converted the image file into an Odin flash capable .tar file. If anyone would like me to do the same for the other carriers I will do so, but please keep in mind I am unable to test those recoveries.
This is version 5.8.4.5 of the CWM Touch recovery. Backup/restore is confirmed working
This is for the T-MOBILE variant only and will most likely up your custom recovery flash counter. You have been warned.
Oh, and I am not responsible if you choose to DL this and brick your phone or otherwise, I tested on my phone and it flashed just fine.
Thanks Moonfire711 for this information:
Download the tmo touch recovery .img from the Clockworksmod site, or DL the version provided and un'zip' it to your computer. I don't know if these instructions will work for anything other than the tmo version at this point.
to install:
1. Rename the file to cwmtr.img to make this easier.
2. Place cwmtr.img in your root sdcard using step 3., or use your usb cable or some wifi explorer.
3. adb push cwmtr.img /sdcard/cwmtr.img * (skip this step if the file is already on your sdcard).
4. adb shell *If not using adb, and you want to use terminal emulator, start at step 5. with the file already on your sdcard.
5. su
6. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
7. reboot recovery
I did NOT make this recovery or alter it in any way, I do NOT take credit for this recovery, it's CWM 100%
downloading now thanks

Thankyou! So all we do is download this tar and use pda in Odin to flash correct? And will rom manager recognize this recovery? (I didn't want to buy it on rom manager)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Flash through Odin yes, I just checked and Rom Manager tells me "There are no Touch recoveries available for your Device". Although I have flashed the Insecure Kernel so you may want to make sure you have STOCK kernel if you want Rom Manager to recognize your device. Otherwise it works as it should in recovery mode.
I tried a version earlier and it did not support external sdcard.
Don't know if this one is any different, but I doubt it.
This is probably the same version, No Ext SD Card support on it. I'll update the main post to show that, thanks for thinking about that. Though personally I'm willing to sacrifice that for a touch recovery, others may not.
EDIT: Looks like there are two options, SD Card and Internal SD Card. This has Ext SD Card support. Works on my phone with the Insecure Kernel.
So ext and int sd card both working? And we flash Odin pda check auto reboot?

Or you can download the .tar from the OP and do as follows:
1. Open ODIN
2. Reboot into Download mode (Vol. Down+Home+Power)
3. Plug your phone and ensure ODIN recognizes it in the box (com#)
4. Click PDA and add the recovery.tar file
5. Make sure it says "Pass" then unplug your phone and exit from ODIN.
Your phone will reboot and you should now have the touch recovery.
Yes ext backup is working, use the first option that just say "backup." I will assume the "restore" is for ext sd as well.
Man backing up takes unsually longer than the non-touch cwm. Also anyone know how to adjust the date and time of the folder it creates when you make a backup??
I know wrong thread, but same subject!, anyone try TWRP yet?

I hope your intent was to have what you typed put in the OP. If it was to negate what I wrote in any way, then the point was to offer a way that will not jump your flash counter (in case anyone cares), and to offer a way that doesn't require using Odin. Hell, I didn't even need a pc.

I put it on my phone for about one night, but didn't play with it much. I did make a backup and it seemed to work fine. It was just a little foreign to me, so I decided to stick with the touch version of cwm for now.

In my opinion, and this is only MY OPINION, TWRP is loads better. No offense to the great work CWM developer(s) does but I really dislike CWM. I've always used TWRP be it N1, Galaxy Nexus, Kindle Fire and now S3. The only time I strayed was 4EXT Touch (by Maxx) for N1, but there's no release for S3
I think 4ext is hands down number 1, I used trwp on my Kindle also its great but cwm does the job lol

Yeah, I posted in the N1 forum asking Max to bring 4EXT to SGS3 but he never responded. I may shoot him a PM and ask him.

Thanks I wasn't sure
I installed the new image file using Install Open Recovery Script but now I have two image files in the goomanager directory. One is for the older recovery and the other is for 2.3.3.3.0. When I reboot into recovery it goes into the old recovery. Is it ok to delete the image file for the old recovery? I won't do any harm in doing this?
Following these instructions would be the easiest way to avoid any damage or trouble
1. http:// teamw . in/ project / twrp2 /101
2. Download the .img file for your phone and save it on your computer.
3. Rename the .img file to recovery.img and save it to your internal sd card of your phone. For example: recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.4-hercules.img ------> recovery.img
4. Open up Terminal Emulator on your phone and type the following 2 commands:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
(please note the second command is a one line command with spaces between "dd & if=" and ".img & of=")
If your Rom identifies your internal sdcard as /emmc instead of /sdcard, then make the adjustment to command line (dd if=/emmc/recovery.img) instead of what is posted above.

Turns out the path to the extSdCard is actually /storage/extSdCard. Couldn't see the directory of the sdcard noway nohow. Can't figure out why. /storage/extSdCard worked.
Thanks.
Howdy, I just tried an AOSP ROM on my gs3 and wanted to try the Bleeding Edge kernel. In case it doesn't work or I want to go back to stock, how do I go about putting the ROMs included kernel back on the phone without doing a dirty flash of the ROM?

You can do this (using adb) after pulling the boot.img from your current roms zip.
Code:
adb push boot.img /sdcard/boot.img
adb shell
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
Reboot and your old kernel will be back.
Thanks, never used adb but I can download and the commands seem pretty simple. I bet you also know how to make it into a flashable zip?

Take your rom.zip and extract ONLY the META-INF folder and boot.img
Open the "updater-script" file with a text editor and delete everything
Now type the following line, and then make sure to leave 1 line blank after it
Code:
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7");
<blank line here>
Then save it (make sure no extension gets added) and zip up the META-INF folder and boot.img.
The zip should look like this
Inside restoreKernel.zip
---META-INF
---boot.img
Congrats! You just made a universal kernel flasher. If you want to flash any other kernel for your device now (same android version and all that, of course), just swap out the boot.img in the zip and flash away

INSTALLATION
Auto-Method
1) Extract the contents of the RAR file.
2) Double-click "Install.bat".
3) Prompt will open, click any button to proceed.
4) RSA Fingerprint message will appear on the phone (accept).
5) After installation procedure, type "y" and press enter to reboot into recovery!
1st Manual Method: Initiate ADB and use the following code.
Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]REPLACE "XXX" WITH THE ACTUAL IMG NAME! DO NOT TYPE THE ORANGE WRITING![/COLOR]
adb push XXX.img /data/local/tmp/XXX.img
adb shell
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]IF YOU DONT SEE A # prompt, type su to get it.[/COLOR]
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/XXX.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Be sure to replace "data/local/tmp" with the actual place your img is stored.[/COLOR]
exit
adb reboot recovery
2nd Manual Method: Place the img on your phone, then use a terminal emulator app with the following code.
Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]REPLACE "XXX" WITH THE ACTUAL IMG NAME! DO NOT TYPE THE ORANGE WRITING![/COLOR]
su
dd if=/data/local/tmp/XXX.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[COLOR="DarkOrange"](Be sure to replace "data/local/tmp" with the actual place your img is stored.)[/COLOR]
Optional Method: If you want to run some safety checks first, use loki [method here as first option].
INSTALL THEME MANUALLY
1) Connect your phone to your PC.
2) Go into your "internal storage" (internal SD card).
3) Find and open the TWRP folder.
4) Add a folder called "theme".
5) Place the ui.zip into the "theme" folder.
ENTER RECOVERY
Method 1: Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to TWRP (without actually resetting).
Method 2: Download the free app "Rebooter" from Google Play. If you have root, you will be able to select to reboot into recovery (among other options).
SLOW WIPE CACHE FIX
1) Once in TWRP, go into Settings.
2) Check off the box, "Use rm -rf instead of formatting."
3) Go back and now go into Wipe.
4) Wipe Cache (or another option with wiping cache).

USB-OTG
To access USB-OTG devices, go into the desired area (Install, Backup, or Restore). Select "Internal Storage" at the top. Press your USB-OTG device. It may take a second to show as selected on the screen. Once selected, press OK.
If your device does not show up, you can first try going to Mount and check off the USB-OTG box. If it doesn't allow you to check the box, then it doesn't support that device.
NOTE: It may not work with OTG cables and USB devices...
MISC.
Folder Name - There is an "issue" with the date and time [1970]. This issue is reflected in the backup folder names. There are two options to change a backup folder name:
Go into recovery and select Restore. Select the folder you wish to rename. There should now be an option to change the backup folder name.
Go into your TWRP folder by connecting to a PC or using a file explorer and change the backup folder name.
Time Zone - The time zone may be wrong but can be changed in Settings.

Thank you ! Flash successfull on my D802.
But when I want to wipe cache + dalvik cache, it stay on "wipe cache", it's normal issue ?
When I used Wipe Cache it took a long time to finish.
Ok thank you
Like 10 minutes or more ?

I don't recall the exact time, but I would say at least 10 minutes.

I've noticed the time changing for certain things. One restore I did took nearly 30 minutes! I did restore after that took less than 10. As long as it works, that's all that matters! :good:
I'm on a Recovery Loop. Selected Reboot > System and it keeps rebooting to TWRP.
Used Flashify btw.

Did you have a recovery before this installed? If so, what recovery? Did you have a good WiFi connection when you downloaded the file (i.e @home, @restaurant, etc.)? Did you try any other methods before flashify?
This should be fixable in either case. If you have a backup from before, I suggest restoring. If not, then you may have to follow this guide to unbrick your phone.
Oddly enough, I'll be in Singapore tomorrow, but I won't be able to reply until late night.
Works perfectly. Thanks!

Heya! Restoring as we speak. Home networks pretty stable.
Currently downloading the firmware. I can see that the system was not mounted on TWRP. Hence the Recovery bootloop.
Jumped from the Samsung era, gosh I didnt know LG doesnt have much support.
Once back up, bahhh imma just remain stock till more Devs pops up.
Cheers man.

Feel free to try CWM, it's much easier to install, and also has a touch-interface.

Thanks
