This is my second trial on Tegra CPU. First one was with HTC devices and it needed a stock kernel to fix some issues with touch and nandroid backups
After testing, please report with precision the issue you have. The more details you give, the better
Also, provide a log when you encounter the issue:
Advanced / report error
Then attach the philz_recovery.log here
Download is only for 3g nexus. Do you have also one for non 3g (grouper)?

If they differ only by 3G, no need to a specific build until we debug it a bit if needed
I see from specs that they share same hardware, so it will work
Only some ROMs with assert command forcing a non 3G version will fail. But, if people report this build working (boots and touch being precise), then I will build for grouper
I tried it but I had a problem. I flashed the recovery image on recovery partition but then when I booted to recovery it boots to twrp and when I reboot from recovery it boots to your recovery.

Maybe you have a custom kernel with a twrp image bundled in it
You did not answer the most important though. When you booted inside my recovery, touch was fine? If it boots and touch is ok, I will remove warnings
Yes, in recovery all is working.

Thank you a lot (out of my daily limit for :good
So, this is an official port
Feel free to report about any bugs
Also, let me know if there are error 7 issues when flashing some ROMs (probably not) and I will build a grouper version
Just reporting that it works fine on grouper also. I flashed it via flash image GUI on the device then rebooted to recovery no problem.
Does wipe data/factory reset wipe /data/media also or is it setup like twrp where it leaves it so you can still install from your internal sdcard?

I appreciate the feedback
Wipe data/factory reset keeps sdcard
Under Mounts and Storage: you can either format /data only (rm -rf keeping sdcard), sdcard only (rm -rf /data/media or /data/media/0 depending on how you set it up in Advanced menus) or both of them (true format command on /data partition)
About error 7: I will repack one for the grouper
This is nice, I will try it. Thank you
Thanks for coming up with this so fast. I remembered very clearly it was just yesterday that I requested. :good:
1. I've installed on my tilapia, and noticed the following message, not sure if it is of any concerns "E:Unable to create brightness sys file!".
2. Font size is good (Note 2 LTE font size is rather small). {Edit: I think this is not relevant. From the main thread, I could see screenshots showing the ability to chang Menu Height}
3. Had successfully done a nandroid.
4. Flashed OneAroma7oBind7hem from mrRobinson to have inverted gapps :good:
5. Successfully flashed the latest PA 3.5.
Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback. I will fix the dim screen option

Can any one run this in adb shell while in recovery
Or you can use the console terminal in aroma file manager while in recovery
Code:
find /sys/. -name '*bright*' >/sdcard/brightness.txt
And attach the resulting brightness.txt file on sdcard

Flashing recoveries is different for each device, except when there is a zip to flash in an existing custom recovery. I won't detail a guide for all methods obviously
I can mention that odin method is only for Samsung though
Is there these s-off things with Nexus 7?
If not, I will provide a zip too, else it is useless for most
When I tested the tilapia version on my grouper I used an app called "flash image GUI" to flash the IMG file. I've used it numerous times for different recoveries on the n7.

An app or a tool for erasing download count and others to be tweaked were also very helpfull.

You ll need root access and the app superuser!
Get the .img file from first post.
Get an terminal emulator from market and open it.
We ll flash it via dd on terminal.
Move the .img to internal sd via file explorer.
In terminal first type su.
The command for flashing is in the first post. Begins with dd.
All right?

Hello there !
I have a Nexus 4 with ClockWorkMod and I'm wondering if flashing Ubuntu Touch could possibly wipe my recovery. Also, does it wipes the data contained in /sdcard ?
Some reports have said no, some say yes. I'm checking now, but assume it does until we know otherwise.

where please? we are all flashing through zip via recovery...
Considering the build script checks if the recovery is flashable:
subprocess.check_call('sudo fastboot flash recovery %s' % recovery_file,
shell=True)
I would assume it would flash the recovery partition.

that's without any doubt! I don't have the zip yet, so can you check if something is related to an sd card wipe??
people are reporting TWRP works ok, no recovery nor sd card wipes
The built-in installer DOES flash a new recovery (looks like a stock recovery, or maybe with their own modifications). I'm not sure if it wipes nandroid backups yet, going to check that next.

If people would stop creating new threads every 3 seconds about ubuntu it would be easier to find....but alas, the xda public is too damn impatient
After installing through the "Ubuntu" method, which does flash a new recovery, I reflashed TWRP and checked and it does still keep the nandroid backups, so everything is still there. It's easy to go back to your old backup even after flashing the new recovery. Meaning, their process does not wipe the sdcard.

during my install, it wiped my sdcard. i followed the instructions as provided by canonical. my device was empty
I flashed using the zip files and could simply reboot, holding the volume button down, and get back into TWRP

correct. if you dont flash using canonicals instructions, and only flash the 2 zip files, nothing on your boot or recovery is touched....
thats what i am trying to say here. if you follow the canonical way, it wipes everything, loads its own boot.img and recovery.img, then flashes those zip files.
we dont need their boot or recovery to make this work. if you already have cwm or twrp all you have to do is flash the zip files

It seems that at least for me the recovery fails at completing my backups, it says they are completed, but the size is just half (or even less) of the actual size of my system partition and after restoring each and every backup I make my phone fails to boot.
Good recovery. Very fast and very complete.

Does it work for at&t/telus?
I doubt it given its built for the international version, I would be careful not to flash this on at AT&T device incase you brick it.

Well if you don't have S-Off then yes, cause the boot and recovery partitions are locked.

You could try this:
Download latest cm 11 nightly
In cm recovery got to apply update and flash cm11.
Reboot then in recovery (should be cwm) flash again latest cm 12.1 together with "isorec- twrp recovery 3.0.2-1.zip by the.gangster" in one go (important!)
Then you have latest twrp for flashing anything and also for incrasing partition (System/data) for flashing bigger packages of gapps or cm 13 with gapps (here incrasing System and data partition is a "must")

Hi Friend,
CM official roms come with default recovery mode just like the official google roms have there official recoveries cm have.
here is what you will do what you need to do (I use Odin)
NOTE:don't Restart your phone, you have to make the steps from 2 to 4 without restart
1-Install any recovery or kernel from Odin to your mobile (that is the only way to get rid of cm recovery) VERY IMPORTANT!!!
2- open the recovery you installed and flash the rom that you want
3- flash the gapps (optional)
4- flash this file https://dl.twrp.me/i9100/twrp-3.0.2-0-i9100.img (VERY IMPORTANT To Be In The Same Order)
now restart your phone your phone must open now with the new rom, open the recovery mode after the restart to check
VERY IMPORTANT reply to me, I want to know if it worked with you
Thanks,

Hi
Just want to mention 2 things:
You cannot use any recovery to install cm12 of above. It must be at least a KK compatible recovery.
And not all recoveries can flash .img-files (and the latest version of twrp is 3.0.2-1 of which @the.gangster made a .zip-file for us to use).

Yes your instructions are correct when using kk recovery and isorec- rec .zip.
Of course there are more ways to do it like by the great @Lanchon in this thread (MOD) IsoRec: Isolated recovery for Galaxy S 2 on Page 53 Post # 529.

Hi,
I have the i9100 device. I just flashed Samsung's default Stock ROM on it, using ODIN and it is booting.
I want to know how to install root and then TWRP on this now?
The problem is, TWRP is only releasing an IMAGE file and not a zip or a tar file.
How do I flash this IMAGE into my recovery partition? What is the recommended way of doing it. None of these tutorials are explaining this to me.
Do I have to install CWM first? I am confused. If you can give me a step-by-step overview of what to do, that would be great.
Thanks

I have the i9100 device. I just flashed Samsung's default Stock ROM on it, using ODIN and it is booting.
I want to know how to install root and then TWRP on this now?
The problem is, TWRP is only releasing an IMAGE file and not a zip or a tar file.
How do I flash this IMAGE into my recovery partition? What is the recommended way of doing it. None of these tutorials are explaining this to me.
Do I have to install CWM first? I am confused. If you can give me a step-by-step overview of what to do, that would be great.
Thanks

- Install in stock-recovery philz cwm 6 Kernel (root).zip (in apply Update)
- make a Backup
- update to kk compatible Recovery Like cwm 6.0.4.7.zip
- with kk compatible Flash latest unofficial cm 11 20161222.zip by zjq985063714 together with recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-TWRP-3.0.2-1.zip.
- in twrp recovery Flash lanchons repit Tool which ist a zip-file. Use 1 GB vor System 4 GB for Data.
Now you are able to flash any rom up to Nougat.
If you would have searched enough you would have found all this in the Forum.
There are plenty of threads for everything you need.

Hi,
What I am planning to do tomorrow is
a) Install CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip - this gives me root and CWM recovery
b) Then go into CWM recovery, and flash the IsoRec_TWRP_3.0.0-0_i9100.zip - Will this work?
c) Then I go to TWRP recovery, and then install REPIT, then CM ROM, and then Gapps-pico.
- How this deviates from your quote is;
a) Why do I need the philz cwm 6 Kernel (root).zip ? Is this a pre-req for CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip ?
b) Why flash the cm 11 20161222.zip if I am going with the latest CM 12+ later?
Please clarify... thanks.

Hi zetret
I prefer philz because it is a save kernel (can be done in many other ways like yours)
For flashing twrp3 you need isorec kernel otherwise twrp will not show up.
That's why I use cm11 which has isorec kernel.
And I can there also use triangle away ( doesn't work on latest builds).
and because large roms like cm 13/14 and I think cm12 with large gapps cannot be installed right away because installation will get stuck.
that's why I install cm11 as step in between to increase partitions first.
You do not have to boot cm11 - boot just twrp to continue.
There are many ways to do all this (could flash isorec kernel.....)
to me it's a simple and clean way without using pc

Hi dhrubaz
Please use google search as i mentioned the proper file-names for this purpose.
(I would also have to search).
For philz cwm6 i9100 stock kernel you have to look for the right version according to your buildnumber.
For exampel: PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSD-OXX-4.87-i9100.zip

Ignore this guy from Vienna
Just ignore the other guy. Most of the things he mentions are unnecessary or out of date. Just follow the three steps I mentioned in my post. That works.

You are giving people wrong advice. @Lanchon himself told you this will not work

@zetret
I'm replying to you here because it is getting OT in the other threads
The best advise I can give(and one of the core rules of XDA) is start searching in XDA, searching on the internet for the answers to your questions. This site is not for spoon-feeding everyone who is new to this.
But to try to clear up a couple of things:
The original kernel partition in the S2(i9100) "housed" the kernel and recovery together. This is why when you install an older kernel(pre isorec) you are over-writing both the kernel and recovery. So if the kernel is not compatible with the rom, then you will get a bootloop if you try to boot into the system. You can still use this recovery however. You need to decide if you are flashing the kernel to use the kernel to boot the rom OR use the recovery even if the kernel is no good to you.
Isorec changed this. Instead of using the bundled recovery in the kernel(it is still there), you are using the new isorec recovery in the previously unused recovery partition(once you have flashed it there). Once you have flashed the isorec recovery it will stay there. No need to flash it again. An isorec kernel is needed to recognize and boot the isorec recovery, otherwise the bundled recovery will be used.
Please use the search function in future. This is only spoon-feeding I will give.
I apologize. These steps only work if there current Kernel you have is "isorec" compatible. For the Kernel that I had on one of my devices, I went to its thread, and searched for "isorec" and there was no mention of it - which apparently here means that it is not compatible.
If you don't have a Kernel that is isorec compatible, please follow the suggestion offered below, and get to an "isorec" compatible Kernel like 'Siyah-Dorimanx-V8.70-JB-SGII-PWR-CORE-DRAGON-TRIM". I will try this and update this thread later.

@zetret
so you still think it is not rude to say about me:
"Just ignore the other guy. He does not know what he is talking about"
(and you gave wrong advice at the same time)
and in Lanchon isorec thread you said also to me in post 546:
"........You have also shown no understanding of what isosrec means......"
So this is coming from you, a person who had at this time not even the basic knowledge about isorec
only by asking in lanchons thread NOW you found out about the need of isorec compatible kernel.
(which i already told you BEFORE in post 4).p
Now you keep in Lanchons thread complaining and blaiming others why you did not know and unterstand isorec.
You should really show some respect for people here like @the.gangster who is giving the community a lot of support and detailed knowledge in many posts.
For future...
To anyone reading in the future, this is just an overview of what to do.
#: Backup your contacts and photos to your laptop.
a) Install CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip - this gives you root and CWM recovery
b) Now, backup your current (Android 4.1.2+root) and reboot to recovery
- If at any point, anything fails, you can restore this and start again.
c) Wipe everything (Factory reset+cache)
d) Install CWM version (philz_touch_6.25.0-i9100.zip) for i9100 from here (https://mega.nz/#F!oZ1QDDbC!Ko20UNhowwIlXLVFjJsyKw!lR9AARIa)
- This upgrades your CWM and is apparently a step needed to get to TWRP.
e) Install any IsoRec compatible Android custom ROM and don't reboot
- Check this for more info: (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nofficial-i9100-cyanogenmod-11-build-t3405634)
f) Install a compatible TWRP file that some people have packaged as a ZIP! If you go to the official downloads folder, you will ONLY find an IMAGE file and for new users, we don't know what to do with that.
- Search for something like recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-TWRP-3.0.2-1-i9100.zip
g) Reboot to recovery
h) You should be able to see TWRP now!
i) Now, you can install Lanchon's REPIT. If you need more help - follow wonderful guides like this to get everything up and running -
__a) http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...0-1-marshmallow-rom-on-galaxy-s2-repartition/
__b) For ROM installation: http://highonandroid.com/android-ho...-marshmallow-rom-using-twrp-failproof-method/
j) Thanks! and if I missed some steps and made it difficult to understand, please correct me. I failed many times and wrote this from my memory and therefore, some things may be missing.
Also, the first three steps above may not be necessary. For some reason, Step 'd' failed for me initially from Stock Rom and I had to do step 'a', but this may not be the case for you. Having that backup in Step 'b' is worth it.
# Restore your contacts and photos from your laptop.

could you please instruct simply and also provide download links for all the required files
right now on stock 4.1.2 and flashed CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip
that's it
now please provide required file links and instruct from here
thx...
Anyone...?
@hacker1911
I'd still recommend you to follow either post #2 or this one which is slightly outdated but still valid. Only syntax of repit.zip changed (needs units now) and the IsoRec-twrp in step 7 is meanwhile available as version 3.0.2-1. But if you read both, you should be able to succeed.
Hi, you cannot flash it straight,
so you can follow my step-by-step tutorial for flashing Recovery +/- ROM and +/- reformat.

I figured this one out
To use Philz CWM 6, do I have to downgrade from 5.0.1 to 4.4.x? Or will it work with 5.0.1?
