Root [CWM] Development Thread

[PlayfulGod]

Killcmd two post above this one mentions cwm 5 so i think that's where it started!

Well no offense to him, but he is misinformed on that. Recovery could careless about which platform you're running as long as the partitions match up.

 

[PlayfulGod]

Someone give this a test run please.

So I was wrong and I have to update the Koush's CWM 5.x.x.x script to work with the new compilers. It's terrific... I hate that the phone has no ICS update!

I just have to ask, what script you rewriting, and for what compilers, and where the hell you learn such nonsense?

its a no go...it goes into recovery mode then it says "recovery mode" then it boots into normal boot...i even went and flashed the normal recovery just to make sure my phone wasn't screwy...normal recovery worked fine....

Gave it a try as well. Used T Backup to clean davlik cache 1st, then the app for rcvry flash that PG posted (Recovery Flasher from Play Store), then booted to rcvry using Quick Boot. Rec'd bad boot msg J. Then rebooted, powered down, reboot to rcvry, went to stock rcvry.
