Hello!
I could really need help for updating my recovery mode i don´t get at there is to much information to find the right one i need.
My problem is and some information:
I´m running pac rom i9100-nightly-2013 10 05 at the moment and recovery mode is since a few weeks for a reason i don´t know(had philz touch before):
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.0
But i want Philz Touch back and i don´t want to choose something wrong and brick the phone so i really need your help
Don´t get it which version i can install because of kernel and all that stuff....
Thank you all for your time and helping someone who is lost in information...
Philz kernel/recovery is for stock firmware only.
but..
But i had a recovery with touch control and filemanager a few weeks ago? is it possible that it was included in slimrom i was using before pac rom?
thx
Only rom I've seen it on is neat rom. If you want cwm touch then flash Apollo aokp/cm kernel with modded Philz custom recovery built in. Take care with Apollo as he has both stock and custom kernel now and also twrp and cwm version of the kernels :thumbup:

hi,
I have a Galaxy S2 which I rooted very early on without flashing a custom recovery. At that time one just had to flash one specific thing via Odin and it was done.
So the thing is still running Gingerbread. Now I finally want to get a nice custom ROM on it. But I want to make sure that the current CWM recovery is still "compatible" to my old 2.3.3 Android (2.6.35.7-I9100XWKG1 kernel) - like, can I install the current CWM regardless of the fact that my Android is very old?
(I faintly remember having seen something about a CWM for ICS and another one for Jellybean, which is why I'm asking.)
Search the general i9100 forum on how to flash a custom ROM.
Start at the "guide index" thread and work your way from there.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
Thank you for the hint, however, I already studied how to flash a custom ROM in the CM10.1 thread and how to install CWM from the CWM thread.
My specific question was different:
This is the CWM thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
In here they offer a version to download for JB (6.0.2.7) and a version for ICS (5.5.0.4). To me, this implies that I can't just install any CWM version with my Gingerbread. Is this true, and what version do I have to install, then?
Flash the latest stock rom with Odin. After that flash the recovery for JB. Then you should be fine.
Hey guys, I've been driving myself CRAZY trying to find an answer to this! ._. Hopefully one of you can help! So I have the T-Mobile variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (t0ltetmo) and it has a custom ROM on it, however, when I do a nandroid backup with clockworkmod recovery, IT DOESN'T SAVE MY APNs! When I restore, I have no APNs and NO SERVICE! I always have to flash a clean ROM again -,- Right now, the newest CWM recovery that Rom Manager has to offer is version 6.0.4.3. My question is, Is there another version that DOES support kitkat backups, or does TWRP recovery backup kitkat ROMS without issue? Thanks guys! Hope somebody can help because this is driving CRAZY!
Hi i have a question i read here in forums that before you flash a kitkat rom you need first cwm version is 6.0.4.7 higher i have philz touch 5 and my cwm version is 6.0.3.2 how can i update my cwm to 6.0.4.7 im sorry im newbie tia and godbless
If you want to flash KitKat, then I suggest you just follow the guide on cyanogenmod.org. In the howto, they provide you with the download link for the correct custom recovery and also how to apply it to your phone. I also had an old CWM version before and so the installation of CM11 failed. After I flashed the one from the guide, it just worked!
Here's the link:
h**p://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100 (sorry, I'm not allowed yet to post links!)
IMPORTANT NOTICE: I don't know if a different kernel (like the PhilZ touch) also removes the superbrick bug. So maybe you shouldn't do a factory reset after putting the new CWM. I did it with mine, it didn't brick. Maybe I was lucky (had a rootet phone before, don't remember though which kernel).
Hello everyone, i know i am really late in the game here by playing with this phone but my friend has one and wants me to fix it up for him. it is completely stock running android 2.3.6. I can't seem to make heads or tails of how to stick a recovery on this thing and flash a rom. can anyone point me in the right direction as how to do this? thanks mates
First thing you need to know is that the recovery is compiled into the kernel, so you don't flash a recovery separately, you just flash a custom kernel and you will have a custom recovery after.
The latest stock firmware for this phone is 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, but since the phone is still on the original 2.3.6 firmware, you could flash the old Siyah kernel and use it's recovery to flash custom firmware.
You need to root the phone first. You can root this phone with Framaroot using the Aragorn exploit. Then go to this post and download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA without ticking Re-Partitioning.
Stable custom Touchwiz based firmware available in the development forum are SHOstock or Cooked. Both are based on 4.1.2, and neither are currently supported but both are stable.
If you want something more recent, there are various aosp based firmwares available in the development forum. You may not be able to flash some of them directly from that old recovery in Siyah 2.6.14, but if you need help, you'll have to try to get some help in their threads, because I don't use those.
Happy flashing, and if you need help, ask.

If you don't mind me asking, what's the benefit of having the recovery compiled into the kernel. Do you think it is better than having them separately, and if so, can you explain why?

You'd have to ask the Samsung engineers why they did that. Since the more common standard is to have the recovery in it's own separate partition, it suggests that is the better solution, I would think.
Having been on a device for a while that has a separate partition for recovery (N5), it's a feature that is extremely comforting in that it is virtually impossible to brick those types of devices.
The way I see it is that having the kernel on the same partition as the recovery is beneficial as more kernels can be built, instead of it being ignored.
Hello guys! Lets test if anybody still here...)
What is latest fully functional TWRP recovery for Lollipop 5.1.1 stock firmware, where to get it and in what partition do I need to flash it?
Does installing some zips or firmwares on different roms needs supported recovery version? If so, please tell what ROMs need what recovery versions.
I've seen even TWRP 3.1.1 build but have concerns in its functionality and stability. Is it working normal?
Last, wanted to say thanks for all developers that made us using such a great device for so long period of time.
Hope people are still subscribed to this forums.
That TWRP 3.1.1 was never fixed as you can read in the thread.
First flash latest .236 stock rom with flashtool if you have not done this before.
And then you flash this recovery in fastboot:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...ent/twrp-recovery-2-8-7-0-2016-02-03-t3307043
You never need to touch the recovery again once you flashed this recovery all roms from kitkat and up works with this one.
