Why the name Cannibal Open Touch?
Because we can. The name also embodies everything that Cannibal Open Touch is. It is no longer just a variant of ClockworkMod Recovery, it is it's own recovery by itself. Combining features from ClockworkMod 5, Team UtterChaos' Sony Xperia recovery, AmonRa 3.0.6, Xionia CWMA and a heaping helping of our own special enhancements it is truly revolutionary.

What to do when an error occurs:
DO NOT simply say "xxxx doesn't work" as that is highly unhelpful and will probably be ignored. Instead, post the recovery log! To grab a log when an error occurs, simply open a terminal (or command prompt if on Windows), "cd" to an easily accessible directory and execute:

Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

Paste the log as an attachment (don't paste the text inside, as it can be quite lengthy), or paste it on pastebin.com.

WARNING!
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Cannibal Open Touch you must delete the settings.ini file located in the cotrecovery folder on your sdcard!

Already have a custom recovery?
You may use our handy Universal Installer!

Update:
We're back up. DDoS attack has been mitigated and no data has been lost. We will be migrating to a REAL webhost later this evening (one of us actually personally KNOWS the owner this time).

We're down. Again. Official word is that our webhost is currently under a DDoS attack. We're currently running a fundraising campaign to raise funds in order to purchase some real webhosting and keep Project Open Cannibal online. If you'd like to join the cause, the WePay page is here: https://www.wepay.com/donations/project-open-cannibal-hosting

Update on the situation:
Our host (and the datacenter they reside in) has informed us that we have been the target of a massive DDoS attack that has been going on for two days. Our account has been suspended due to the attack bringing down their entire server. We will be offline for a small bit while we deal with the attack and get everything back online. No data has been lost.

Great recovery - thanks for doing it up.

Question - what does the Factory Reset option do? Will I lose the recovery / root and go back to stock?

Good question! The Factory Reset option simply empties your personal data and cache partitions, effectively bringing you back to day one of flashing whatever ROM you currently are running. It does nothing to the recovery (why would we delete our own recovery? :p) and does not affect root access. It will certainly not bring you back to stock software.

In other news:
We are back online and running faster than ever thanks to our friends at bestlittlehosthouse.com!
