[Recovery]Clockwork Mod 5.5.0.4 (temporarily canceled)

---

After spending months working (on and off) on getting CWM to boot on the s5 I've finally got something booting.

Currently nothing has been tested, but as I've got it booting I expect to have a release out in a couple days or so.

Changelog from migrating over from Streakmod 0.3.2.8

• Amend Scripting no longer supported [!]
• Standardized recovery images -> Titanium backup direct support
• Better integration with rom manager
• firstboot.img renamed to datadata.img
• nandroids are not compatable (requires renaming and moving across folders)

I would still continue recommending using Streakmod even after release, but it serves as an alternative. Clockworkmod is still being developed while Streakmod isnt, though Streakmod is pretty much feature complete.

Edit: CWM 5.5 for the S5 is temporarily halted due to the fact:

1. Amend scripting isnt supported (and will not be brought back
2. Fac resets do not work at all
3. Nandroids do not reliably work
4. Streakmod is already available

I will definitely try again in the future if 2 and 3 are fixed in CWM, but for the moment there's not much that can be done without modifying CWM itself (which I would like to avoid)

Would be nice to finally use rom manager....make it not a waste of my money anymore.

It will work 'better' with it, but overall dont expect anything signifigant. There are no roms available for dell devices for rom manager, I dont believe any devs have listed their roms on it.

I think CWM 5.0.2.7 still has the 'lost+found' bug that was fixed in streakmod 0.3.2.8.

It might have been fixed in 5.5.0.x but I cant currently compile that.

CWM 5.0 is basically gonna be useless if that's true as it cant finish making nandroids for me.

If/when I finish it it's merely gonna be a learning experience for me, 5.0 has no real advantages over streakmod until at least it can make nandroids

I am finally able to get CWM 5.5.0.4 to compile now, it has virtually no new features over 5.0.2.7. It does fix the "lost+found" bug that was fixed in streakmod 0.3.2.8

It's based on the ICS recovery, which by itself means little/nothing except a new background logo.

I also intend to keep CWM reasonably up to date so any features that DO matter in newer versions will be made available for the streak too

@TheManii: Thank you for your endeavour.

I tried to flash the V-5.5.0.4.img with "fastboot flash recovery" in fastboot-mode. After rebooting into recovery mode I selected "2. Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" and my streak5 went black. No reaction. I removed the battery and tried S5-2.5.0.7.img. Same result so I got back to StreakMod recovery. Recovery Mode works again.

It seems compiling CWM works, but does it actually boot on the streak5?

TIA,

The venue version wont work as the kernel is different.

Currently I'm having an issue with the firstboot partition when doing nandroids, after I can get that fixed it'll likely be ready for release.

Everything else seems to work, but there's no point in releasing a CWM with broken nandroids as streakmod already does everything.

waitting for new advance

S5-5.5-120225.zip

Here's the source code for CWM 5.5 on the S5, it's actually just the makefiles as there's no changes to CWM itself.

Hey Manii

would you like to work with recovery
as I see that streakmod doesn't support the ext4 fs

I have a copy of CWM 5.5.0.4 for the Dell Streak that I downloaded off the Korean website with CM7. I've used it and it seems to work flawlessly. I don't know if it supports EXT4 or not, but here it is.

Update: I installed your EXT4 script and tried to do a backup using this version of CWM. It failed, stating it couldn't mount data.
