This version wouldn't have been pushed as I did not plan any updates of the binary before 4.00 Final. But since we needed a repack with XXELLA kernel and the code was ready for these changes, I pushed it.

New in v4.00-b04 Recovery (CWM 6.0.2.7 based)

- Repack with XXELLA kernel supposed to be SDS safe
- Fix romname added to nandroid backups: now build.prop will be parsed instead of reading system properties
- Custom rom.zip scripts completely revised to show progress and handle errors (beta and will be completely revised in Final build)

It's not Hex. Hexidecimal is 16 characters. 0 through 9 followed by A through F. Hex = 6 (A-F) and Decimal =10 (0-9)

So as this is off topic, please lets agree to disagree. Its 15 character Hexidecimal that can go up to Z if there are more than 15 revisions within any one month (eg, September's revision 18, XXDLIH)

Sorry Phil, carry on.

Sry for the off topic as well and I confess you're right, forgot about the builds going further than F, it is indeed not hex, sry.

But still, hex isn't a-f as you state yourself it's 0-f where 0 at hexadecimal (base 16) is still equal to 0 at decimal (base 10) (check this: http://www.december.com/html/spec/dechex.html)
and 0-9 must not be decimal, when you don't know which base is used (if just 0-7 would be provided it could also even be octal).

I flashed v4 with mobil odin, but in recovery it still says v3.
Anything wrong?

Yes, I did not edit the main display: it shows PhilZ Touch 3 instead of 4

Exact version is in PhilZ Settings / About

no custom nandroid feature

As I wrote, that version would have never been released. It is an internal test version. Since I had to update recovery kernel, I decided to push the changes I did till now since they are stable, mainly the fix for nandroid folder name which was buggy in previous version

All other features are work in progress and will be in 4.00 Final. Be patient, it takes time to write some code after the real life day...

Hi,
My SGSIII died a couple of days ago but I've gotten hold of another (fully stock but used) I can use while I wait for mine to be repaired. Trying to flash 4.00-b4 using Odin and everything seems to work (Odin says success) but then when I boot into recovery it's still on stock. I've tried three times, two with Odin3 3.04 and one with 1.85. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

danarama · Jan 9, 2013

Hi Phil, just based on a quick convo in the sds thread, it's been a while since I compiled recovery.... cwm and philz is compiled from the update 7 kernel source?

Just because I don't think samsung have released the recovery with the fix yet. Something I read anyway

Hi Phil,

I have a couple of questions before I flash this Recovery.

I'm a little confused as to whether it will replace my kernel flashing this? Is this just a custom recovery or a kernel and recovery?

Thanks Phil, I loved your Recovery on my S2 and can't wait to try it out on my i9305!

Cheers mate

You surely doing something wrong here, are you sure odin says PASSED once done?

Well, cwm is compiled from cm10 sources. I did not switch to cm10.1, as for a recovery, I feel more comfortable with cm10 source since I know it well now and it is long proven to be stable for a recovery (playing safe here). It actually compiles and runs very well under cm10.1, but will be waiting

Now, just like a boot.img, recovery.img is repacked with a kernel and a ramdisk. The recovery binary is in ramdisk. The kernel, I do not touch, it is complete stock XXELLA. I only change the needed binaries in ramdisk to run cwm instead of stock recovery binary. Also I make some edits for additional features.

Hope it is clear

Have I ever said it is SDS safe? It is even written in bold red:

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

And no, unlike S2, this phone has a dedicated recovery partition. This is only the recovery, your kernel will stay (for now

)

Don't tick reboot in Odin, shut the device down after the flashing process and boot directly to recovery. Stock roms force install the stock recovery at boot, it has to be disabled at cwm (after you have been at cwm and press reboot to system it should ask if you like to disable it).

just one small, tiny cosmetic bug - when you boot into recovery it says PhilZ Touch 3 (should be 4 I think). also something else I just thought of - fixing permissions takes way too long IMHO.

The version thing is already answered.

Thanks Phil,
ROM name working perfectly on Omega v36 "2013-01-09.20.00.21_Omega_v36_-_XXELLA~Alexandader_th" and latest CM 10.1 nightly "2013-01-09.19.47.48_10.1-20130109-NIGHTLY-i9300".

Makes my ROM flashing addiction much more easy to keep track of

Cheers

Beardy
