I'm trying to port cannibal touch recovery 2.1 on to my samsung galaxy s2 4g sph-d710vmub can anyone help shed some light on this for me
The recovery is packed in the kernel, you can't just "port" a recovery on this device. You'd need to repack a kernel with a compatible recovery and it would change recoveries anytime you changed kernels/roms w/kernel.
I like to break stuff!
If you're looking on how to do kernel work for this phone, check out the community kernel thread in the dev section.

I want to do my own repacked CWM kernels based on the Samsung ICS releases. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
No one has any pointers?
There is a thread in the Dev section for compiling a kernel, maybe there is help in there.
Hello everyone. I have a question about all of those new kernels that are popping up rapidly in our community for ICS. I'm a pretty advanced phone user and I've been around the community for awhile so I know what a kernel is and things like that.
But anyways, I've been using EL26 fastboot stock CWM and EL29 stock CWM kernels before that to flash anything from ICS using Mobile Odin. Lately I've seen a ton of new kernels pop up and I'm wondering about their benefits.
Agat63's Repacked Kernels
Team Win Recovery Project Kernels
ReactiveDisorder's Kernels
I believe all of them are repacked with Recovery (I haven't tested them yet so I may be wrong) and they're all TW-based.
Could anyone explain what makes each of their kernels different and the benefits they offer? Do they bypass the emmc lockup or not? Which one is the most safe? I don't see how any of them could be drastically different because they aren't custom kernels since we don't have the ICS source yet.
Well for one thing, Agat's most recent repacks have some mileage on them with regards to being safe for flashing roms and wipes.

TWRP recovery/kernels are also known safe. There is a CM9 and TWiz version. I would stay from RADs repacked kernels.

Agat's and TWRP (for GB, ICS and CM9) both have code in place to basically prevent the edify scripts that were causing the EMMC bricks to even start. They are both safe for flashing.
ReActiveDisorder kernels blocked the wipe data option that was the primary source of the bricking. But it has been discontinued.
There is a safe CWM repacked kernel for CM9 and there is supposedly one on the works for AOKP.
For the most part what you are seeing are just stock kernels packed with a custom recovery. The really awesome kernels will be rolling out right as source hits.
Hi all,
Since we have a pure stock rom now, if anyone has the stock kernel extracted; would it be possible to get the stock kernel to AndreiLux so he can modify his Perseus Kernel for the sprint Galaxy Note 2? I'm not sure if things are happing behind the scenes or not? I remember browsing his thread and him saying that he would be willing to port over the kernel if he had a copy of the stock kernel for the Sprint version.
By the way, the custom rom development for the Sprint Galaxy Note II has been stellar so far! I really appreciate all of the devs and contributors here who are helping to make this phone the best it can be! I couldn't find a thread like this so I thought I'd make one.
I would like to request a stock kernel with TWRP recovery.
I learned to root my ACE II (without increasing the flash counter) with the helpful posts found on XDA. I don't need a custom kernel for root, but it would be nice to have. I did try the HD kernels, but I found problems with stability and strange behavior like apps going missing, battery drain, reboots and such. So I have a rooted stock rom with stock kernel and my ACE II is working very nicely.
I realize we have a stock kernel with CWM.
I think we need a stock kernel with TWRP :highfive:
I did look at making one (a kernel) myself but I don't have the skills for that.
Again many thanks to the regular posters and the devs on XDA for teaching me how to root my Ace II.

Try this one. It's HD's TWRP but for me its already perfect and there are no issues like you mentioned.

Hey! I'm not a developer but i hope developers goes in to this thread and try porting TWRP there is a guide here http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...gn=Feed:+xda-developers/ShsH+(xda-developers) but i don't know if this will help. I/we want TWRP on our phone right? There is also a source code for CM7 here.
TWRP is only for MDPI/HDPI screens.
For GT-s5360 CWM would be enough
