Clockwork Based Recovery
I RECOMMEND USING THE TOUCH RECOVERY! (click here)
Disclaimer
I'm not responsible for any damages to your phone. Neither am I responsible, if the phone becomes alive, runs away, dominates or kills you ;P
Also, if you don't know how to flash this, then you probably shouldn't... just saying...
All this work is done "blind", since I don't have a note, so be thankful to the testers, who were willing to sacrifice their devices

How to install/update
- see post #2
Thanks to
utkanos - for help with the framebuffer
DAGr8, Johnsondr80, lpsi2000, BLOWNCO - for testing my crap
koush and anyone who worked/works on cwm/cm - without them this wouldn't have been possible
and possibly lots of other people who did important android work, but are sadly forgotten
Good luck, and happy flashing.
Please report bugs with as much detail as possible, and preferably in a separate paragraph
How to install
Odin (this will increase the flash counter)
- put your phone into download mode
- in odin choose pda, and select the .tar.md5 file and flash
Note: there are several guides how to use odin on xda
Alternative (this will NOT increase the flash counter but is harder to do)
- get adb (from the android sdk for example)
- root your phone
-> there are several ways how to archive that, the easiest is probably flashing a rooted system.img using Odin (flashing system does not increase the counter)
- start your phone normally and activate USB debugging (Settings, Applications, Development or so, enable USB debugging)
- extract the recovery.img from either the Odin.tar.md5 or from the CWM.zip and put it onto your sdcard
- connect the phone to your computer, dont mount/share the sdcard
- run the following commands:
Code:
> adb shell
~ su
# dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
<some output>
# exit
~ exit
- the path (/sdcard/recovery.img) might need to be adjusted
- NOTE: this can brick your phone, if you have typos, make sure you know what you are doing
Updating CWM
- download the update.zip from the CWM link and put it on your sdcard
- reboot to recovery and install it, on the next reboot you should have the new version running
- alternatively all the above can also be used to update
Back to stock
- get the correct stock recovery.img (the at&t one should also work for telus, Bell and rogers, otherwise look for the correct one)
- use the Odin or Alternative to flash the stock recovery img back

hey guys i was using beta 1 then i went ahead and flashed this after doing so i getting nothing but force closes on everything ? any help is appreciated ? i was thinking would flashing da_g's 3e recovery fix this?
I can confirm sdcards issue is fixed. Once again - amazing work! Much appreciated.
I agree the fonts are really small and hard to see and while we're on that subject - are there any plans to port the touch interface?

Updates via CWM
Hi Braway, do you have any plans on releasing updates on CWM format? It would be convenient to flash updates on the go. And you know, with this big boy, who needs a damn PC anymore?

The best way to flash this is to make a nandroid backup first. Then flash CWM Beta 3. Then restore from the backup.
At least, that's what worked for me. No FCs here.

I post this For a Reason! You need the ENG-Build for the Recovery / Boot.img
But I've included the eng-boot.img in teh update.
Other than flash the eng-build by bootloader we don't have write access to the recovery..
The eng-recovery works better than the current one, and if you flash it all you have to do is unplug the usb & back in again.. no more trying to get it to see the device & make it some much more easier dealing with recovery mode!
Guys post up if this new build get wifi tether working.. Or if it allows your to delete stock apps through file explorers.

once again, to do that stuff you need to run the update.zip I post!
Once in ClockworkMod recovery, Mount system via the menu then remove what you need...
Ok, so I did the first posted root method. Now I need to flash to the eng. This will wipe all apps and settings on the phone? Then after I put the eng ROM on it I can go right from there and apply the SLIDE2.zip flash?

got it as far as removing apps goes cool...
Now just for amusement purposes its possible to flash this with just root and not downgrading but we would have to do the hole loop thing again??
Thanks for all the work man this is awesome!!
Ok, here's official clockworkmod and ROM Manager support
For a full/better How To, click here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
This thread is a quick rundown, as well as a primer on how to create a proper clockwork compatible kernel.
First, use odin or redbend_ua to flash this kernel:
http://koush.tandtgaming.com//samsung/fascinate/zImage (you will need to package it accordingly for odin, I am lazy and did not do so, see the other thread)
Then, open up ROM Manager and flash recovery (choose Fascinate!).
All done!
Note, using reboot recovery or adb reboot recovery will take you to a "stock" recovery. Simply apply the update.zip on your SD card and clockworkmod will start up. (This method is better known as fakeflash)
Starting up recovery through ROM Manager will take you directly into clockworkmod.
How this works for those that want to develop on this further and create kernels that are ALSO clockworkmod compatible:
I extracted a initramfs from a stock recovery. I modified recovery.rc and fota.rc to allow adbd (and other small fixups). I modified default.prop to enable adbd and root shell. I replaced /res/keys with a test signed version to allow applying update.zip files.
Here is my fascinate initramfs:
http://github.com/koush/fascinate_initramfs
One can build clockwork directly into the kernel if they so choose. Simply take the update.zip on your SD card and pack those files into the initramfs as well. I chose not to do this because I am lazy.
i know this is irrelevant but i hope you can help
i flashed the CMWrecovery file --- i followed the steps to the dot .. and now my phone can't get signal and is rebooting insanely ... help!!!

So you're saying you downloaded this specific zImage2 file, then tar'd it, then flashed it over your kernel and it worked? Did you use odin, or redbend?
Or did you just post for help on the bottom of this thread?

Yes, there's a difference. When I posted asking if anyone had gotten this to work, I meant the kernel Koush specifically provided above, in this post. I know in general CWM recovery works.
I would try posting in the thread where you obtained your files for help. That way there are people who are using the same kernel that might help.

turee that sorry. im noticing more and more problems like i dont have maps and missing apps here and there. thisis my fist time using odin and samsung...should i just odin back to stock everything and then try this recovery?
Alright...so I am confused now and I am not an Android noob....I see all the threads with how to flash the recovery and then this one....but I think we should have ONE thread that walks thru Rooting, flashing recovery etc....AND, in the first post, the instructions tell people how to pack files and etc., but a lot of people have no clue what that means...therefore, we need to have a "packed-ready" files for noobs. There are just a few too many botched phones.
As a noob myself, I think that sounds like a great plan.

Can someone post a link on how to backup the original stock kernel via ODIN (or some other application) before I go ahead with this? I'd like to just be able to go back to the unmodified kernel if I want to. After a five minute search I couldn't even find a tutorial on ODIN.
[SOLVED]
Turns out CMW 6.0.4.7 will not flash to this device - solution was to use the app "Flashify" from the play store which simply and easily installed TWRP
Thanks joshm.1219!
[SOLVED]
I am at a complete loss for a fix. Short story is: I wasn't receiving any MMS, so I finally decided to ODIN back to stock and used this method so I could keep my data. Here's what happened next:
- ODIN passed but I couldn't get past the Verizon logo
- Tried several suggested fixes but the last resort one worked; I wiped data & factory reset (thus defeating the purpose of the no-wipe ODIN... w/e)
- Everything loads fine, TouchWiz works but I get a Factory Mode popup and can't lock my screen. (still can't lock my phone even now but will use this method if I think I'm stuck with TouchWiz)
- I use this method to unlock bootloader and root - root confirmed.
- Try to install CWM recovery or TWRP (btw, where the hell did GooManager go and why is it so hard to find now) and they say successful but I simply can't boot into them, just keep getting the factory recovery screen which won't let me flash any roms or any non-signed .zips
- MMS Still doesn't work!
- I call VZW in desperation and somehow they magically reset my account services and MMS works again! (I probably could have done this in the first place and not lost my ROM/Data and sanity if I'd known)
I have looked high and low for a solution but have found none. I also have been unable to find a REGULAR stock MDK file to flash on this phone - I can only find the NO-WIPE version which doesn't even allow you to keep your data. I'm confused and frustrated and would love some active help, I just can't find the right threads/posts/ect.
Thank you kindly for any advice.. I love my S4 and have been using PA, PAC, CM and other ROMS since the day I got it - I need that back! TouchWiz is just... I just don't like it.
Try this one.

Thanks for the original stock.. sadly I am still ending up with the Android System Recovery and despite installing CWM Recovery, I just can't get to it. I also still get the ridiculous Factory Mode popup.
Any ideas? I'm so sad :'(
From off it's either home+volume down+power or home+volume up+power. One boots into stock recovery the other will boot into CWM.
Hold all three until you see some small blue text in the upper left of the screen.

Thanks for the effort but I'm well aware of that. As I said in the OP, I've been using custom ROMs on this since day one - the issue is that I cannot boot into CMW Recover, despite having a successful install via the app.
Dumb question, which app are you using? I use RomManager to install CWM (up to 6.0.4.7) and I have a flashable zip of 6.0.5.0.

I'm using ROM Manager but it won't work. I'd love to try ODIN flashing the CWM Recovery if you have the file for my MDK build.
I may have it on my PC at home. When I get there (60-90 min) I'll look. If I do I'll post up to Dropbox and give you a link.
Ok, I've searched my HDD and I don't have the CWM file. What I do have is the MDK all-in-one root+recovery tool for the I545. I can put it up and upload it if the file isn't too large but I don't know if that'll help you.
CWM 6.0.5.0 flashable zip is in the CM11 thread but I don't know if the recovery image in the file is good for you, either

I'm still at a loss for why ROM Manager was unable to flash CWMR but I guess I don't _need_ to know, I am so happy this is a big step after 3 days of touchwiz hell!

This thread might be dead, but rather than starting a new one for what is probably a stupid question, I'll ask it here and see what happens. I've been having major trouble flashing any 5.0 rom on my MDK VZW S4....Seems like every ROM fails when flashing. I have a feeling my issue is an outdated version of TWRP (2.5.0.2), but I am very hesitant to update because it seems like everyone has been having issues with 2.8.1.0. With this being said, are you guys currently running the most current version of TWRP and would you mind advising which .img file worked via Flashify? Not sure whether to use the jfltexxx or jfltevzw...or if it even matters.
I'm sure I've left out pertinent information, but let me know what I'm missing and I'll update accordingly.
I've been using the latest version of TWRP 2.8.1.0 and running Euroskank Lollerpop with zero issues. Coincidentally, TWRP just got updated today to 2.8.3.0 which i have yet to flash but will do so shortly. I would recommend JFLTEVZW based on my usage. Not sure if the other variant works or not but it appears you have a verizon device so stick with JFLTEVZW.

Thank you very much for getting back to me. When you flashed 2.8.3.0, was it a .zip file from recovery or a .IMG through flashify or another app? Thanks again for your help!

Hello XDA
I'm releasing recoverys since I'm not able to port Cyanogenmod on our phone even if we have all opensource released by LG,
just for the lack of the knowledge, I'm pretty begginer. Hopefully some kind people see this and feel sad about our orphan child L5II and port us CM
This is the second recovery I release for our devices, this seems to be the best in my opinion.
I take no credits for this as I only built it for our device.
So yeah the beautyful PhilZ Touch Recovery is now avaible for our L5IIs.
This is the PhilZ Touch Recovery 6.57.9 Andvanced Edition with CWM v6.0.5.1
We're going to use the same way as for previous recoverys to flash it.
PRE-REQUISITES
1. Root Permissions on your LG L5II
2. Unlocked bootlader
3. Terminal Emulator (can be downloaded from Play Store)
NOTE: I tested this only on E460, I hope this works also on other L5IIs but I'm not sure.
I DO NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSABILITY FOR BRICKED DEVICES OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE
DURING THIS PROCEDURE, DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK.
DOWNLOAD:
(If someone wants to provide any mirror will be appreciated)
http://uppit.com/pbjhcmfju47z/recovery.rar
1. Extract the downloaded file.
MD5 sum:
Code:
[COLOR="red"]BD8BDDD56E50100795F437E7449A20F5[/COLOR]
2.Then place it in your SDcard and open your terminal emulator
and type the following text:
Code:
su
dd if=/mnt/sdcard2/recovery.img of=/dev/recovery
3. When you have successfuly executed the previous commands in terminal emulator reboot in recovery mode to test it
Type this in terminal emulator
Code:
su
reboot recovery
Or switch off your phone and hold VOLUME DOWN + QUICKBUTTON + POWER BUTTON until LG logo shows and then release, it will boot into recovery mode in few seconds.
I really hope it worked for you and you can now enjoy your beautyful recovery.
Let me know about bugs and on which models it works!
Thank you for your attention!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-As this is based on stock recovery source it seems that LG left us a bug. It won't mount\format sdcard0(internal sdcard). So I've found out that this isn't the fault of revovery in itself but recovery.img containing a bug left by manufactor. So my objective now is to solve it, I can't actually say when it will get fixed, I don't have much time to work on it because of my real life issues.
link is not working
It's working, I just checked it now.
In these days I'll provide some mirrors so there won't be problems.
I can confirm it is working on my e450
it doesn't mount internal storage. not sure if this is because mine is a e450 or if it is the recovery. havent tried flashing any zips yet but will let you know how it goes.
If you send me your stock recovery.img I may build it for e450 and we'll see if that will resolve the issue.

I will do it today if I have time, if not tomorrow for sure. I'm not a legend, You are a legend because of all development you have done so far this lovely device
EDIT: It seems to be the recovery's in itself issue, I"m encountering this issue even on my E460. I'm trying to figure out what causes it and hopefully resolve.
Just flash slimsystem with no issue s
aroma installer works and it writes to the system partition properly.
very nice recovery

Since we have unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, is it possible to custom roms will arrive? Maybe CM or SlimRoms?

can you do a backup??

I haven't tried it. But I think it should work. I can't try it out because I do not have much free space. (Usually CWM backups are minimum 1 GB)
has anyone done a backup yet? or is there still something missing??

I did a back up and restore. Select custom backup and select boot recovery and system

Full backup is working too, it takes a lot of space if you don't set compression level to high in advanced options. It also may depend on data that you have in your internal sdcard as it backs up that too.
The full backup minimum size for me was 4.9 GB with default compression level(default is set to none).
Instead with maximun compression level(tar+gz enabled, and compression level set to high) the minimum size was less that 2.5GB.
Please note that sizes may be different, it all depens on you. I'd suggest you to do what slipsystem said here. So do a Custom Backup and select following:
Boot(x)
Recocery(x)
System(x)
By doing this way your personal data on internal memory won't be included into backup. This way also the backup max size wont be higher than 1GB(it depends on what did you put system resources, normally its slightly higher than 800MB).
how to check if bootloader is locked or not?
Flash recovery if you get secure boot when trying to enter recovery then the bootloader is locked.
Can you give a mirror? The link dosn't work for me :/
The link also not worked or me please provide a mirror
Hello!
Please forgive me as it's been a long time since I made/posted a stock based ROM as I have been mainly doing security research and dealing more with source code last few years.
Most seasoned Samsung users on here probably already know me and work that I have done so I won't waste time posting any "about me" stuff.
DISCLAIMER:
This ROM is still WIP (although fully functional) and based on Android R Beta 1ZTJA for G986U/U1/W. An unlocked BL is required to flash this ROM!
Features:
- Based on Stock R Beta 3 Build aka 1ZTJA.
- This is a full ODIN flashable tar (got tired of messing with update zips.)
- Disabled vbmeta
- Pretty heavily debloated
- Deknoxed
- Removed pesky recovery-from-boot.p which could cause boot loops.
- Currently only has SPR csc mods (will mod others in next build)
*Native call recording
*App Lock (forgot to push the app though so will fix in next build)
*Few others.. will post more specifics and give creds since I used the csc mod for exynos as a basis..
- Probably forgetting something but thhis is an initial build so will add more as time goes..
Instructions:
Note: The zip contains an instructions.txt that is more detailed.
Note 2: Zip contains the full firmware tar file which includes everything to be fully updated/on ztja. This means all bl files, modem, boot, recovery, super etc. so you can start from and build. Zip also contains files and instructions on how to obtain root.
- Backup your data if you must since this will wipe device!
- Put phone in dl mode and extract zip to pc somewhere.
- Open ODIN (INCLUDED IN ZIP) and in AP slot navigate to SamPWND.R3.v1-G986U1.tar and flash it.
- Device will reboot into stock ZTJA recovery where you will wipe data and reboot.
- Set up device and win?
Root Steps (optional):
Note: Since theres no sources for R yet theres no custom recovery. Also, Q based recovery will not work on R bootloaders as well as R there is no more /sbin so root needs to be flashed at this time.
- After you have flashed rom and everything is set up reboot back into DL mode.
- Open included ODIN and in AP slot navigate to the 1BTIF_BL_Files_and_LOS_Recovery.tar. Make sure auto reboot is NOT selected. Flash it.
- Once thats flashed hold vol down and power until screen turns off then immediately hold vol up and power until LOS recovery loads.
- However you want to flash magisk (I included Magisk.v21.0.zip) flash it.
* I do adb push magisk.zip /... Then select Install Update then install from root and select magisk zip...
- Reboot back into DL mode.
- In ODIn, select AP slot then navigate to 1ZTJA_BL_Files_and_1ZTJA_Stock_Recovery.tar and flash it.
- Device will boot back into ROM and you will now be rooted!
***TWRP RECOVERY***
- Download listed below
- I suggest you follow all the steps above and make sure it's up and running before installing TWRP.
- Basically extract the .tar from the .gz archive and flash in ODIN!
- adb works
- file manager and other tools work
- If follow above steps first as recommended, data will be decrypted.
- mounts work
- flashing works
- backup/restore works
- no issues found so far?
Steps are really quite simple if you have ever used ODIN.
It took a bit to put this together since all we have are update zips so I had to do a bit of trickery as well as had to build some binaries/tools to manually patch from 1BTIF to 1ZTJ3 to 1ZTJA to be able to have all the firmware images.
I will create a Telegram ROM support group soon where you can ask all the questions you want there (I am not at liberty to discuss unlocking bootloader on XDA so questions about this on here will either be ignored or will say I cant discuss. More info as to why will be posted in the support group or you can read the imcluded instructions.txt wink.wink).
ENJOY!
Shout Outs:

Thanks, that will be a big help getting me back into building roms again. I haven't had the time at all lately except for some minor phone stuff plus I'm waiting for computer parts to come in and put together a 10th gen Intel system. Then I can get started again.

Great work. Good to have more choices

no
it clearly states its for G986U/U1/W if anyone tries it or flashes it to any other device then dont complain if it doesnt work or bricks phone
That being said, how do we get this going for the 988U1? I have root working for R on the 988U1. Although attempting to boot into stock recovery on ZTJA sends it into a boot loop still working on that.

Just flashed this last night, seems to be running beautifully, no issues so far, battery is looking good. Removed a dozen more useless apps, root is working great.
Running on a G986W with a Canadian Sim, everything seems to be working fine with my carrier (WiFi calling, LTE+...)
Thanks brother! Keep up the good work
