In our case, TWRP have support for internal and external SD. Touch support. I think it backed up faster, CWM around 10 min, TWRP 6-7.

Is the CWM permanent?

Both are. Just it comes embended in kernel. No other way to use permanent, because they are on the same partition (kernel and recovery) on our phone.

If i flash my original FW, will the CWM is missing?

Yes, you will have stock kernel then, and all stock in its partition includin recovery.

i dont know if twrp has the same possibilities to flash zip files. i personally prefer cwm, who cares about 3 min time to create a backup and about touch support, its a recovery and not a launcher

Yes TWRP can flash zip, even use internal(varun modifications) and external storage. Both arey quite good, but I like that touch control more

May be future Devs can make CWM with Touch support, Galaxy Mini have CWM touch recovery why not us.....

i prefer to use TWRP
since tz 4.1 support TWRP, i immediately download it

So let me get this straight! If you are on stock kernel, you cant have permanent recovery. U need to change kernal for getting permanent recovery enabled. Am I right ?

Yes.
On some phones there is possibility to install custom recovery separate from kernel, but on out phone recovery and kernel are on the same partition.

Well if you read the second post, you'll see that CWM it's mentioned there. I think you need a custom Recovery to do that.

No, he didn't code it. He took the source, edited it to work with Galaxy Mini and then compiled.

Yes, absolutely correct... He modified the source of clock work mod recovery to make it work with our mini.
BTW, @squadzone, Can you please make this recovery flash able via Odin. It would be nice, if we can flash this directly without having to flash the original/older recovery.
Also, it would be much nice if it can be flashed directly from stock recovery. Do you think you can give it a go?
Regards!

[Q] cwm recovery backup and restore_need help

hey all
my note is on ics 4.0.4 stock rom and notecore v14.1 kernel
i did a backup with cwm recovery and it was done correctly to my sd card
the question is:
if i install any other custom kernels,will the cwm recovery version change??(i think yes, am i right?)
and will that affect the restore of the backup that i made with the another version of cwm recovery if it was changed??
thx in advance

Yes, the cwm recovery version might change but it should not affect the restore of your backup.
Nope, it shouldn't. Your version of CWM won't change unless you change it. When you flash a custom ROM, it changes /system and /data to name a couple. Your recovery doesn't get touched.

thx for both of u
but if i want to change my current custom kernel which is notecore v14.1 to another custom kernel such as PhilZ-cwm6 v3.72 ,should i do extra procedures or just flash it through pc/mobile odin or cwm recovery normally without any other steps??
As note 1 has the recovery built in the kernel, any change of kernel will change the recovery to what is included in the new kernel. This will not affect your backups. You can restore your old backups with new cwm. No special procedure, use mobile odin or cwm, pc odin will give you yellow triangle, increase counter.

Got a boot loop by rom toobox

Hello i installed rom tool box pro and i saw some options to change the icons of wifi.I did a bakup too and installed the icons but unfortunately it was stored on internal memory.Then it asked reboot and when i rebooted got a boot loop.
How to fix this? Is there any way to get the backup file from my internal memory?
Thanks.
If you have access to recovery, use aroma file manager. You will have to place the aroma zip on sd or internal storage and flash via cwm. Then you will have a file manager to work with

So why don't you just do that what you asked for in the torrent thread? Download and install a Stock Rom. After that you have "clean" state and can start again.
Or download some of the Custom Roms here and follow the installation instructions. Same result but already on Custom with all the benefits.

[APP/RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 for lockled bootloaders installer

Hi !
Here's an application to install and uninstall TWRP 2.4.3.0 recovery on locked bootloaders Xperia Z. It's stable on my Xperia Z, but i highly suspect some partition (system) problems with Xperia ZL phones.
This application will install TWRP recovery ramdisk to system as "recovery.tar", but you can provide your own recovery (ramdisk) by placing it to "/sdcard/XZRecovery.tar". This way this application could be compatible with other recovery or devices.
TWRP recovery ported to Xperia Z by krabappel2548 !
If you don't know which file to use, download XZRecovery-1.0.apk, install it and run it.
The recovery will get lost each time you flash a rom or wipe system partition.
XZRecovery.apk
Install, uninstall and reboot to recovery from your Android device
twrp-2.4.3.0-xz-locked.zip
Install recovery from windows (ADB)
twrp-2.4.3.0-xz-locked-recovery.zip
Install recovery from recovery

Hi !

Hi,
i did update the first post with a recovery zip that can be installed from recovery. So you should be able to flash any (stock based) rom from recovery, including wiping system, then install this file to get recovery back (well before exiting recovery of course or you'll loose it).

I used stock doomlord recovery fs Edit: Hum i'm saying crap, it's for cwm, so yes it use your rootfs! By the way, did you compile it yourslef? if so i could directly add chargemon flashing in the recovery sources each time a wipe is done on system. Else i will not bother downloading sources and configuring all that
In fact, like i first thought, we should be able to use any initramfs.
So and for your phone, any news ?!
simply, working perfect... thanks, i prefer TWRP to CWM

You can solve it fashing again the recovery via ODIN, I made it many times and ever this problem was solved. the cause of this problem is the recovery rebooter.
Hmm..
Instead I found a solution into CWM's Recovery thread. Go there and see into last pages, there is a zip of CWM 6.0.3.3! Flash it by CWM and problem sloved!
