[CWM][6.0.4.5] Latest nontouch Clockworkmod recovery for I8552 - Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro

I just compiled new cwm recovery for i8552.
this is needed if you are going to see cm-10.2 on this device.(some of us working on it...)
also this is faster in flashing roms.
THIS HAS SAME GRAPHIC ISSUES AS THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF CWM.

1.Boot in ODIN mode(Vol Down+Menu+Power ...leave Power after phone vibrates)
2.select Vol Up to go in download mode.
3.open odin 3.04 or up.

5.connect phone to the pc.
6.select recovery.tar.md5 in PDA tab.

Please do inform whose Device Tree (Shabbypenguin/Ankur/Gilati) is used for this CWM.
Also if this CWM is created without the above Trees then the Master Files (boardconfig.mk, vendor.sh etc) used by you.

this is made with plane mkvendor.sh tree.
nothing special in it.
all the device trees you mention already have those files you want .\i havenot added anything more to it.
i just compiled it to the latest as it is better.

Thanks for clarifying. The bootloop issue can be taken care of by deleting the file inside /system/recovery.
However for the graphics issue you need to put the device frame buffer size.
For any developement purpose you are welcome to join my forum.
Currently I am working over the device tree of Grand Quattro.

Till now no Device Tree is created by me.
However in Github search by delos3geur. You will find three device tree of Galaxy Grand Quattro. Ankur and Shabbypenguin created both indivisually. Chirag forked from Shabbypenguins.
Before you developed CWM others use Shabbypenguins CWM.
I am somewhat astonished as Android.mk; AndroidBoard.mk;AndroidProducts.mk;device_xxxxx.mk and BoardConfig.mk files are not used by you to develop your CWM.Actually according to my concept the Device tree will look like:
arm/
+-- armboard_v7a
| +-- Android.mk
| +-- armboard_v7a.kl
| +-- BoardConfig.mk
| \-- system.prop
+-- armboard_v7a_noneon
| +-- Android.mk
| +-- armboard_v7a_noneon.kl
| +-- BoardConfig.mk
| \-- system.prop
+-- another_product
| +-- Android.mk
| +-- another_product.kl
| +-- BoardConfig.mk
| \-- system.prop
\-- products
+-- AndroidProducts.mk
+-- armboard_v7a.mk
+-- armboard_v7a_noneon.mk
\-- another_product.mk
Also as far as I recall that there is also another important file you should know about. In /system/recovery.img there is a full copy of everything that is loaded on mtd1. This file is automatically flashed onto mtd1 every time you shut down. That means two things: 1. Any changes you make directly to /dev/mtd/mtd1 get blown away on reboot and 2. If you want to change /dev/mtd/mtd1 you're probably better off just sticking the image in /system/recovery.img and rebooting. When creating your own custom update.zip files (especially when adapting the stock images), you can get tripped up if you forget to replace /system/recovery.img and it ends up overwriting /dev/mtd/mtd1.
Please do correct me so that i can update my knowledge.

my friend --->
1.there is no mtd partitions on our device. our recovery partition number is p13.
2. i currently making device tree of my own and also contributing to chirag's repository
3.actually i used Android.mk; AndroidBoard.mk;AndroidProducts.mk;device_xxxxx.mk and BoardConfig.mk to make cwm.
you can't build cwm without working device tree.
4. device tree you listed is not used in cm device tree.
to make a sample device tree just make it with mkvendor.sh, found in build/tools /device
5. our chipset is msm7x27a which some what problematic for flashing recovery and roms.
neverthless we will overcome that in next few days!!

My Dear Friend,
Yes I knew that there is no mtd partition in our device. Previously Samsung use to provide mtd partitions but now they stop that. Also like HTC there is no emmc partition. However /proc/partitions is there and through cat you can get the total partition table and then multiplying it by 1024 and then dec2hex function the partition address can be found. But the problem is that working name will till remain unknown (boot, recovery, cache etc).
Regarding standard device tree I am somewhat confused. Can this be created in a standardized format?
Regarding the graphics issue it seems that a patching is needed. However you are better to judge.
For now help me to update my knowledge how you find the partition table in standard format. Previously I extracted one firmware and then worked with the recovery partition by splitting it into kernel and ramdisk (cpio command). Later on I found the standard table inside ramdisk. It seems to me that this is not the right way to find the partition table. Please do update me.
Regards

1.
ok do this
go to builder.clockworkmod.com
take the stock recovery.img
upload it there (click the option touch at the bottom)
when upload finished
you will get to the page with your build no.
go to build output(it is most likely to fail.)
click on status link in side panel.
this will show you your device tree zip, inputrecovery.img and manifest.xml
download that zip
this zip contains your standard cm device tree.
=========================
2.
cat proc/partitions will give you the partitons with blocks.
now copy that output to any text file.
extract recovery.fstab from recovery.img
now just write names of partitions with numbers with block sizes in text file. that way you get all in one file .
==============================
@zoro_deepak ya this supports external sd.

My Dear Friend,
The second part is known to me but regarding the second part you are simply great. I always use to get the fail status and then i left the page, you have given me a way out.
Many Thanks & Regards

Is restore function not working? i tried to restore but i got error "file not found"....
i found a way to make it work. by default CWM makes a directory on internal sd named O\clockwork.. then i move clockwork folder on root of internal. now it works.

How did you flashed the recovery to the phone?
I also compiled CWM for my device and got a update.zip. But when I try to flash the same on my phone from stock recovery, it says "E: Failed to verify signature" How to correct this error? Please help me!

You can also find the working partitions name under the following
ls -l /dev/block/platform/sdhci.1/byname/
The above is for Galaxy Trend S7392. But I think you can get it by probing /dev/block/platform sub directories easily.
