[RECOVERY]Samsung Galaxy W i8150 RZRecovery

I'm very happy to announce, that a developer raidzero from rootzwiki forum, has made us a fully working recovery for Samsung Galaxy w i8150!
You can download it from here:
DOWNLOAD
TEMPORARY LINK .... USE THIS IF FIRST ONE DOESN'T WORK
THANKS TO andynroid FOR PROVIDING LINKS!
Flashing recovery is very simple, all you need is root access on your phone, and adb on computer. You just copy downloaded recovery on internal sdcard. Then disconect phone from copmuter. Make sure that USB debugging is on. Now connect it again but don't connect phone memory (computer shouldn't see sdcard and internal memory in Windows explorer), open command prompt and got directory where adb is installed, now enter this:
Code:
adb shell
$su
#dd if=/sdcard/RZR-2.1.4-ancora-rec.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
This is all. Now turn off phone and turnd it on like this: hold Volume Up + Home + Power button, when Samsung sign appears relese power button but still hold other two, until recovery is loaded. Bamm you are in, and ready to flash something, or backup ! Expolre the recovery, it has a lot of options, you can even choose what color of menus you want .
I would like to thanks raidzero again for all his effort he made! And also big thanks to arco68,for much need informations he provided!
We can now expect, that when developing his recovery and adding new goodies, this recovery will follow others!

great news!! Thanks for your effort!
Has anyone had a chance to test the Recovery?

Will this work on the Samsung Exhibit II?

thanks mate.downloading now. just in case it needs to be recovered. after this we would see custom roms developed by our developers here..

I wouldn't bet that this will work on Exibith II cause every phone has different partitions.

after giving me the command you said to me reacts to: permission denied.. Whi?

Thanks again, will try this ASAP, just a few questions:
Is /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 the Recovery partition??
Is it been overwritten by the dd if.......of??
Should the original stock recovery?? be backed-up/saved first??
Is there an MD5 or anything to check file integrity:
This could be used on the Device: Android File Verifier
Can the procedure be done using Terminal Emulator on the phone?

Do I need to have stock ROM for it to work?

There are two possible reasons for this either you didn't run su command first, or you don't have rooted phone.

1. Yes /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 is recovery partition
2. It is gonna be overwritten with costum one.
3. You can back it up that you reverse dd command. Or I can upload original recovery.
4. There isn't MD5 cause noone made it , you only need MD5 file if you would like to flash this via Odin.

Thanks, gotta learn ODIN first,
btw, thanks for the ODIN d/l........installed it, but still unsure how to proceed???
I have latest Kies installed on my laptop, any reason why you do not use it?? It appears to allow back-ups and restores, also new firmware d/l.
As I am new to Samsung, and also ODIN, but does using ODIN have advantages over Kies, and is it safer to upgrade new f/w with ODIN or Kies, do you lose root, or anything else??
BTW, on the MD5 thing, for the RZR-2.1.4-ancora-rec.img
I used MD5 Checksum Tool from http://www.novirusthanks.org/product/md5-checksum-tool/
to generate the MD5.

I just think it is good security practice to check file integrity before applying on your device, as many things can happen, like data corruption, while transferring file from download on Laptop to SD card, and best to check file on device SD or Internal Storage with AFV against MD5 generated at source.........
which I did not check at source, but I am just illustrating for example!!
[BTW, lots of MD5's on rzdroid.com recovery ftp site, here, but not sure of our .img file
The above MD5 is what I got from the d/l file
Thanks again, I saw your stuff with raidzero on rootzwiki.........

Well I really don't know that is better to use Kies or Odin. If you want official and (what is supposed to be tested) firmware, tha you better use Kies (but well even with kies your phone could get bricked, I've learned that from one user here ). If you want to flash latest firmware, which sometimes is not availible on all the countries, and you can't get it from Kies fast enaught, than I suggest odin is the choice. I prefere Odin, cause I don't like official stuff .
To use Odin is very simple. You need to turn on phone with Volume Down + Home + Power. When you are prompt (on hte phone),wether to conutioue od cancle, you connect phone and computer with USB cable, and choose contuinu, now you are in download mode. Then all you have to do, to choos proper .ops file (button OPS) in odin, an proper firmware (usually you choos that under One Package button, if you have one package in tar.md5), then you wait for chekcking md5. When is checked you just click Start, and wait for stuff to happen.
Don't forget that there is a possabiltiy that something might go wrong with flashing, but it is not that big one. I suggest, that you first made full nandorid backup with recovery, if something goes wrong, you can boot you phone in recovery and restore it totaly. And one more suggestin when flashing, do it with latop(if possible), so that you have battery and power cable plugged in laptop, if electricyty goes out, that you still have battery to run laptop.
And thanks for the support you guys are showing to me, since I'm not a developer. I try really hard, to get people that are willing to help us developing better roms for our phone !

Spot on. I just need to know if it is ROM related (that I need a ROM file on my PC).
Thanks for the reply.

Hey there, just a noob question:
Where are adb drivers installed? I'm working under Windows 7.
I tried to google this and ended up here /developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
and downloaded the first two files, but I'm unsure what to do now. Thanks in advance!

Hey qzem,
Am I right, that the adb driver should be installed, when i first installed Kies?
Is your Guide How-To Install the recovery also working on my mac? I think so, or am I wrong?
Perhaps you already figured by now, I'm new to Android!
There is one more thing i can't seem to figure out:
In foreseeable future, there are hopefully some nice custom roms for the Galaxy W. Do I have to install recovery everytime i flash a new Rom? Or is it like a bios, that has nothing to do with the actual Android System?
Thanks for your help in advance

For adb, you need to download Android SDK from here. Download zip file and extract it somwhere. Than go in folder where you have extract it and run SDK Manager, from there you will install adb rivers and everything else. When you are done (it could take a while, to download and install everything), open Command promnt and follow the instrucions I've wrote in first post.

The same goes for mac users, there is also Android SDK for mac. You can install Kies before this, but you need both because kies includes drivers for this phone exactly. As far as recoverey goes, if it is not included in ROM, which you flash, I think you'll need to install it again. I hope that developers will include recovery in their roms.

Thanks so far qzem,
It seems like theres someone in your Cyanogenom-Forum-Post qzem, who is trying and willing to help making a custom rom. But he seeks for som guidance!
Perhaps someone with experience like, arco can take him under his wings!

Hi there,
i would like to thank you. Everything works like a charm.
Did the flash, tried the recovery.. and uaaaahhhh....
...i forgot to backup the original recovery!
can someone please, please upload it to somewhere??
thx.

PIT file for GT-N5110 ¨[solved]

I need the PIT file from a GT-N5110 PLEASE!! My partitions are messed up , did a little to much of flashing and testing.
Edit: solved
Solved , ha I saved my tablet the second time from a near hardbrick.
I need to stop my flash addiction . But it is so thrilling, Oh the tablet is dead :crying: , Ah it is back a live .....
More info , I tought I messed up partition as I got stuck in bootloop (again) and restoring EFS didn't solve the problem.
I noticed I marked "NAND erase all" in odin by accident and that was the reason why I got myself in this mess.
So never use that thing in Odin.
How I figured out what was wrong , well that was easy , I had stock recovery on my tablet as I installed a official samsung firmware.
So I started up recovery (stock) and it gave me some info , data partition could not be mounted.
I used the stock recovery to do a data/factory reset and it solved the problem.
Next thing I will do is get my PIT file , you need to do that from within linux but that is no problem got both running on my system. Just need to find out on how to extract it, google will help me...
I want to know everything about this tablet , and make sure it is unbrickable if you just got the right files.
So the PIT file is the next I want , that is what you need when you mess up partitions.

Hi civato, you can extract the pit using heimdall on windows as well.
On my device this corresponded exactly to the file I get directly from the device as root with
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=n5110.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=8192
I have never used the pit, the emergency has not happened yet for me, so I can't.recommend anyone to use this, but someone could compare to verify theirs is the same. Attaching the pit and text description of pit for n5110 ONLY obtained from heimdall:

Oh thanks , will give it a try , best that we start collecting these files as I see a lot of users of samsung devices at one point need it.
I had some strange stuff going one but was able to save the device every time.

This is my PIT file of my GT-N5110 , it is the same as yours but I took it with the latest Heimdall so I think that is why some names are different in the print out text.
If you look at the block sizes you see they are the exact same size as yours. So I'm guessing this is a good backup for the GT-N5110 16GB , now it is up to other users with other devices to do the same.

Had the same problem and followed your instructions, thanks man now my note is back to live. And running your rom and kernel.

I have a 5100 and is also soft briked
Hi,
I have almost the same problem. i don't have the pit file, but I have a N5100 (the 3G model). My problem is that I can't get into reocvery either. I can get into download mode though. Do you think I can use this pit file on my N5100?

I need pit file for n5120 please where I can download it

I use Odin 3.07... you have to unzip the pit file, and select PIT file and open your pit file you unzipped. Tick the repartition box and start the upload.

Hi, using heimdall with Arch-Linux.
Problem: PIT can't flash on GT-N5100.
Question:
Does it right, that the right using of dd is in this case:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=[B]NAME_OF_THE_PIT[/B].pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=8192
A few years ago i'd crashed a hard disk and with the help of robi (Linux-Club.de) i fixed it. (Look here: linux-club.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=118487
So i know, prinzipally i can get an image from the Tablet with dd.
But I'm not a freak.
And I think, maybe it's better to safe the image first, bevore repairing.
That was the way with the harddisk, so no dates has been lost.
I think, the synthax to get an image from the Tablet is like this:
Code:
dd if=dev/sdx of=/mnt/sdx/sicherung/image_Tablet.img
Right?

Can you please explain how you got the pit file? from what I understand you cannot simply dump the pit anymore unless I missed something.

requested access to this as well-- can you post somewhere other than Google Drive as people cant get to this file?!

can you please grant my request to download the file? I have a soft bricked phone and I really need the Pit file. thanks so much

According to: http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-extract-pit-file-from-samsung-galaxy-devices/
Requirement: To be able to use any of the methods described below [to extract the PIT file], you must have root privilege on your Galaxy device. Both the methods have been tested on the Samsung Galaxy S5.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This means that, unless someone gets it directly from Samsung somehow (leak, release, or otherwise), you'll need to wait for root on the 5.1.1 stock ROM.
I don't know a whole lot about the PIT file, and why someone would ever need it (apart from screwing around so much that you overwrite your partition information on the device... which would be hard for the average user to accidentally do).
Have you tried Samsung Smart-Switch? I don't know if it's capable, but it might download the PIT info from the internet before restoring stock firmware on a 100% borked device.

Thank you for the reply; by adb I know does not work without root as I looked over those methods. But there is also Heimdall that should be able to extract the pit while in download mode and has the option to save it,but seems not supporting this device. Also odin performs this tasks " Get PIT for mapping.." ,but does it automatically and there is no option to save from a working device with same details to use on other. I need it for a g925t that is stuck on samsung logo after odin restore and showing in download mode SW rev. check fail. device:2 binari 1 , and I think by flashing with a pit might fix it

Done, what's next...

go into terminal app, type the following:
"su"
It will ask you for root access. type Grant.
"busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/backup.bin bs=1M count=70"
It will create a backup.bin in the root of /sdcard. ipload that file here. if the file type isnt supported, put it in a .zip then upload it using your pc. if you dont have a pc, just rename the end part of the file (.bin) to (.zip) and upload it here.

OK download Odin v3.07 search it in Google. then, open Odin, and extract all the files to the desktop.
Before continuing, make sure to backup all of your files because it will be deleted. The file you downloaded before, open it with winrar, then extract the files inside, to the desktop. Open Odin. Get your phone and turn it off. Once its off, hold vol down + home button + power button until you get the prompt to go to download mode. click vol up and it should say "Downloading...". Connect the phone to the computer, and Odin should recognise it. go to the AP slot, click it, and navigate to the file you extracted. Wait for Odin to recognise the file. After, click start, and don't disconnect it until it says "PASS" on the screen, or the phone boots up completely in the set-up. Its recommended that you eject the SD card in your phone (if you have one). Also, make sure only F reset time, and auto reboot are checked.

Just do what i told you to do earlier. read the other comments. the commands are over there

Hey man! Sorry I haven't been able to respond recently. Sent you a pm, but basically I've been in and out of town a lot the last few days!
Got a couple items that makes the process of creating a debrick.img very easy! Started out with a simple script and it evolved from there!
This one will create a 128mb debrick.img on your internal sdcard. (/sdcard/debrick.img)
Download this and flash in TWRP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23196940996969297
That's It! Now just zip and upload!
(ignore the T999 in the filename
It will work on the I747 too)
This next one is slightly more difficult to use, but still easy if you just follow the instructions included in the zip file.
It includes options to create 128mb, 256mb and 512mb images. You should only need the 128mb one but we were using this for testing and troubleshooting when new firmwares were released.
Do NOT flash in recovery. Unzip and follow the included instructions. It will create the debrick.img and then will zip it for you using 7zip.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23196940996969297
The first is the easiest and probably all you need. Just included the second in case anyone wants to try it or the first method doesn't produce a working image. (Doesn't fix a brick)
Hope it helps!

System Dump for SM-R800

Hi All,
I downloaded the ROM for SM-R800 and would like to extract the contents of rootfs.img file.
But no success after renaming the extension to .zip and .rar.
Basically I want the system dump of the watch.
Would someone be able to share it with me?

As an Windows Fanboy... I am using WinHex to extract files from rootfs.img...
Best Regards

Hi adfree,
Thanks for the advise. I installed Winhex, but I am finidng it difficult to extract the data. Openening the rootfs.img I get a lot of hexadecimal numbers as shown below.
Kindly request your guidance.

Here are Screenshots with WinHex...
Other way is to use for instance Tizen Studio and mount in Emulator... longer way...
Never tested with Linux PC...
Best Regards

I tried this but only get a message that size is not a multiple of 512 and there is an incomplete RAW image. Please let me know what steps you took to be able to read this information thanks.

@Mr Bigglesworth
Sorry, still too laz ehm busy to answer PMs...
Can you give full details...
SM-R815?
Because SM-R815U SM-R815F SM-R815W...
And Firmware you tried...
Filename...
Samsung did same "magic"... so few rootfs.img are easily extract able via 7Zip Tool...
Best Regards

Originally I looked at COMBINATION-FT40_R815FXXU1ASB1 (for my 815f). Then failed so I just tried looking in a r800 image (r800xxu1arh3) as my first stage was really to understand the make up and what changes might have happened between firmware, so it didn't need to be the specific firmware for my watch. Both returned the same when using winhex, and both have an error message if trying 7zip, the the file is corrupted. Do you know which firmware might be readable using 7zip as a start? Thanks
