ClockworkMod Recovery for Motorola Triumph

---

Just making a new thread that has download links for ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) that are readily apparent.

First to explain to anyone who does not know what ClockworkMod Recovery is:
quoting from this post:
What Is ClockworkMod Recovery And How To Use It On Android [Complete Guide]

ClockworkMod – also known as Clockwork and CWM – is a custom recovery for Android phones and tablets that allows you to perform several advanced recovery, restoration, installation and maintenance operations on your Android device that aren’t possible with the stock recovery.

The download links are at the end of this post.

Installation Instructions:
************************************************** ***

To install CWM, do the following. If you wish to UPGRADE an existing CWM recovery that you already have installed, you still follow the following steps or alternatively, you can try the steps at the end of the post in the UPGRADE CWM USING FLASHABLE ZIP IN RECOVERY section:

1. Download the CWM Recovery file using one of the links at the end of the post. I recommend one of the latest versions--currently version 5.5.0.4. Unzip the recovery.img file from the Zip file you downloaded (using WinZip, 7-Zip, or another zip utility) onto your desktop so it is easy to find.

2. Turn OFF your Motorola Triumph (MT) phone.

3. Once the phone is off, make sure that it is not plugged into anything at this time.

4. Hold down the Power + Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the phone vibrates. (I usually hold the phone in one hand and then simultaneously press one button with my thumb and the other button with my forefinger)

5. The phone will boot into Download Mode. You will see the following types of messages on the screen:

polling, get oemsbl_mode=1

6. Now plug the phone into your computer. A drive labeled MOBILE will appear in your computer (MAC or Windows. Not sure about Linux)

7. Open the MOBILE drive and you should see a folder named image.

8. In the image folder, you will now see the recovery.img file.

9. Rename the file to recovery.img.old (or something like that) so you have a backup in case you ever want to revert back to the stock recovery.

10. Copy the recovery.img file that you unzipped in step 1 into the MOBILE folder on the phone.

11. After the copy is complete, unplug the phone from the computer and take out the battery, wait a second, and put the battery back into the phone.

12. To boot up into CWM, hold down the Power + Volume Up and Volume Down simultaneously until the phone vibrates.

Please note: DO NOT be alarmed if you see these types of error messages. Many people (including me) get them and none have reported that the errors affect the operation of ClockworkMod Recovery:

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

The MT should boot up into CWM. The latest stock version 5.5.0.4 will have blue lettering.

The controls for CWM 5.5.0.4 (as well as all previous Isaacj87 versions) in the MT are:

Volume up --> up
Volume down --> down
Power --> turns screen black
Menu --> select
Home --> nothing
Back --> back
Search --> nothing

If you want to view a video of how to install CWM on the MT, Minus5252 put together this video on this post -- just don't download the version shown in the video as that version is old:

This version will recognize the .no_confirm or .one_confirm files in your clockworkmod folder when wiping data and cache also in addition to installing zips. See this post for instructions if you are interested in using the .no_confirm or .one_confirm:

Huge thanks to Koush on whose work all CWM is based on. Thanks to isaacj87 who did the original port to the MT on which these are based. If I missed anything or forgot to thank anyone, let me know and I'll update this.

I'm a slow adopter and I think my clockwork is still at 4.0.0.9. Thank you for posting this relatively informative compilation of info.

Any outstanding features you want to mention right off the bat? The kind of stuff that would belong in OP?

The main reasons to upgrade are:

1. The newest versions support ext 4 partitions which are necessary if you want to flash the latest CM7 ROM.

2. This may or may not be true, but I think they sync'ed the latest CWM code from the CM code and that was how it got updated to the 5.0.2.3. So there may be bug fixes that got pulled down--I could be wrong though--just guessing here.

3. I read some people report that in the CWM 4.0.0.9 there was an option to "format /fat" which they did and semi-bricked their phones. This option does not exist in the Isaac/Tickerguy CWM versions and so there's less chance of a user accidentally bricking their phones.

I tried all of these recovery imgs

I followed all of the directions and once I boot onto cwm I see below some errors


CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.3
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

I've never experienced that but i've seen other people report the same thing. However, they also indicate that it doesn't seem to cause them issues. Try doing a backup and then a restore to see if that works for you.

Hey llorn I'm making some cwm flashable zip recoveries tonight and ill pm you the links so you can add them to the open! I finally figured out how to flash recoveries from cwm!

Sent from my OC'ed Triumph!

Hey llorn, sorry but would you mind guiding me a bit, i would usually find a way to this without help but how should i backup and restore? Isnt that done through cwm? Whenever cwm loads i try pressing power for any option and all i get is a screen with nothing but a hat. Any suggestions?

As stated in the OP:

The controls for CWM 5.0.2.3 (as well as the Isaacj87 versions 4.0.1.5 and 4.0.1.4) in the MT are:

Volume up --> up
Volume down --> down
Power --> back
Menu --> select
Home --> nothing
Back --> back
Search --> nothing

And yes, you would do the backup and restore in the "Backup and Restore" option.

Older versions remove the menus if you push the...back button, I believe. They are returned if you push the button again but it's still disconcerting.

I wonder if there's any issues with wiping cache if you decide to do so... It's rather difficult to properly mount things on the Triumph, it seems!

llorn do you know how embarrassed I feel. I can't believe i overlooked this. I'm an idiot! Just booted up cm7! I wish I could still install a custom kernel though....
