[Recovery] CWM Touch Recovery

---

For those of you who want a Touch CWM recovery on your phone I have converted the image file into an Odin flash capable .tar file. If anyone would like me to do the same for the other carriers I will do so, but please keep in mind I am unable to test those recoveries.

This is version 5.8.4.5 of the CWM Touch recovery. Backup/restore is confirmed working

This is for the T-MOBILE variant only and will most likely up your custom recovery flash counter. You have been warned.

Oh, and I am not responsible if you choose to DL this and brick your phone or otherwise, I tested on my phone and it flashed just fine.

Thanks Moonfire711 for this information:

Download the tmo touch recovery .img from the Clockworksmod site, or DL the version provided and un'zip' it to your computer. I don't know if these instructions will work for anything other than the tmo version at this point.

to install:
1. Rename the file to cwmtr.img to make this easier.
2. Place cwmtr.img in your root sdcard using step 3., or use your usb cable or some wifi explorer.
3. adb push cwmtr.img /sdcard/cwmtr.img * (skip this step if the file is already on your sdcard).
4. adb shell *If not using adb, and you want to use terminal emulator, start at step 5. with the file already on your sdcard.
5. su
6. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
7. reboot recovery

I did NOT make this recovery or alter it in any way, I do NOT take credit for this recovery, it's CWM 100%

downloading now thanks

Thankyou! So all we do is download this tar and use pda in Odin to flash correct? And will rom manager recognize this recovery? (I didn't want to buy it on rom manager)

Flash through Odin yes, I just checked and Rom Manager tells me "There are no Touch recoveries available for your Device". Although I have flashed the Insecure Kernel so you may want to make sure you have STOCK kernel if you want Rom Manager to recognize your device. Otherwise it works as it should in recovery mode.

I tried a version earlier and it did not support external sdcard.
Don't know if this one is any different, but I doubt it.

This is probably the same version, No Ext SD Card support on it. I'll update the main post to show that, thanks for thinking about that. Though personally I'm willing to sacrifice that for a touch recovery, others may not.


EDIT: Looks like there are two options, SD Card and Internal SD Card. This has Ext SD Card support. Works on my phone with the Insecure Kernel.

So ext and int sd card both working? And we flash Odin pda check auto reboot?

Yeah can someone confirm ext sd card working?

OP, feel free to add these instructions to the OP for anyone that doesn't want to use Odin for any reason, and still wants to get this for free without using Rom Manager Premium.

Download the tmo touch recovery .img from the Clockworksmod site here. I don't know if these instructions will work for anything other than the tmo version at this point.

to install:
1. Rename the file to cwmtr.img to make this easier.
2. Place cwmtr.img in your root sdcard using step 3., or use your usb cable or some wifi explorer.
3. adb push cwmtr.img /sdcard/cwmtr.img * (skip this step if the file is already on your sdcard).
4. adb shell *If not using adb, and you want to use terminal emulator, start at step 5. with the file already on your sdcard.
5. su
6. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
7. reboot recovery

That's it.
Hope this helps someone out.

Looks awesome. Downloading..
