@2fast4u88, I am mentioning you since it appears you were the original developer for this particular CWM so maybe you can assist me here....

Meanwhile,

Bumping this thread because I need the source which was used to build this CWM recovery so I may modify it and build TWRP. I'm surprised it isn't posted honestly. I really do not want to have to build from scratch if one is currently available which it should be since this thread is currently still open given the GPL. CAN SOMEONE PROVIDE ME THE LINK TO THE PROPER REPOSITORY!!? Trying to hook up my girls phone and make some changes to it and CWM is not my cup of tea due to the lack of flavor it offers.

Found something I can use. If anyone else needs it here you go. This didn't cone from the original developer given this thread. Some other guy, but nevertheless, it will do the trick if you know what you are doing.

Hey peeps, I know this phone is barely alive these days, but my lovely lady still has it. So I decided to build for her TWRP 2.7.1.0.

I would also like to share it here as well (I have no intentions of opening a thread).

So, here it is.

TWRP 2.7.1.0 for the kingdom

For the device configuration source used to build this TWRP recovery you can find it from this commit on my github: 66a9f53133

Currently ZERO bugs to report at this time.

TWRP 2.7.1.0 built from Omni 4.4 source. It is built ready for SElinux support. Only thing it needs is a custom kernel that supports SElinux, but I don't plan to go that far. I will leave it for someone else to do.

Enjoy, and Happy Hunting!!

    Unofficial ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7​



    IMAG0012-2.jpg


    This will work on the Htc Hero S and Should on the Design 4g. I have tested it on the Hero S and can confirm basic functions work, adb and along with backups. Otherwise I haven't tested anything more than that. Also to note while building this the Hero S is identical to the Design 4g. So kernels and recovery should interchange. Beyond that I am not sure as I haven't got that far.

    Also please note I am aware of the so called other cwm build and the teamwin recovery. I can confirm as grad said teamwin also works on the hero s. How ever since you can't download the cwm build, I took it upon myself to build one. In which means this shares nothing in common and was built from my own source. Which you can tell by the 2FS in the tittle.


    Sorry for the crappy pic but due to frame buffer issues getting it to display right. Screenshots are blurred in recovery.

    What is added/done:
    Up to date source of 5.0.2.7
    Default clockworkmod 5 colors.
    Built on the evo design 4g stock kernel.
    Ext4 support for sdcard.


    Other features I have not tested fully but welcome to feedback.

    How to install:
    Download one of the following files:
    http://2fastroms.com/dm_eds/download.php?id=72
    Md5sum: c9e731f8228524d29a3acbd7811ba81c

    Once downloaded place the PH44IMG.zip on the root of your sd-card. Power down the phone, Hold volume down, pressing power. You should got to the h-boot screen where it will scan for the img file. It will prompt to update by pressing volume up. It will take a few secs to do it's thing prompting to hit power to reboot.

    Once rebooted remove the PH44IMG.zip from your sd-card.

    I'm having problems getting into hboot for some odd reason. I hold volume down and press power and the phone just boots up normally. What the heck am I doing wrong? This is such a noob problem to have. I'm embarrassed to ask, but I can't get it right to save my life.

    No problem, I see you got the link to work. How ever I had to port it so I could have it :p

    As unlike any other cdma phone between you guys and uscc. The hero s is identical down to the kernel and partitions. So worked out for the better :)

    So this is a workable recovery for the design 4g? If so, what's really the point without any roms anyways?

    There are two alternate recoveries for this phone now. If the only thing you use a recovery for is installing ROMs, there isn't much of a point right now. Those of us who do kernel/ROM development and use the other features of the non-standard recoveries welcome them.

    Sorry folks. Have been busy with work. To clarify my findings: I extracted the recovery.img and flashed it using both fastboot and dd. Those methods work. I never expected the standard update method to work as the signature on the Design shouldn't match that of the Hero S.
