Hello everybody!

Yesterday, I collected my previous recoveries, updated them and built a new one (TWRP) too. I made CWM-flashable and Odin-flashable packages too.

CWM v4.0.0.2: (Thanks to The-Droidster for the recovery! :))
- This is the first ever custom recovery for the Galaxy R.
- It has all the nice CWM features.
- You can restore ICS with this.
- It has no known bugs. Everybody used it as a starting point.
- What I changed:
- Removed the /lib/modules directory. --> 0,1MB size decrease.
- Enabled button backlight.
- Key layout: Scrolling: Volume up+down, Selecting: Home key, Going Back: Power+Back button. (Menu key doesn't do anything.)

CWM: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?71ynk9btw7euocr
ODIN: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?iczq8xed26ohakw

CWM v5.5.0.4:
- Built from the latest CM9 sources.
- It has all the nice CWM features.
- It can restore v4 backups (you can restore ICS with this too).
- Very stable!
- It has no known bugs yet (Lot of users have been using it and no bugs have been reported).
- Toggle feature is disabled! (I find it really annoying and it doesn't make real sense for a recovery to lock the screen.)
- Key layout: Scrolling: Volume up+down, Selecting: Home key, Going Back: Power+Back button. (Menu key doesn't do anything.)

CWM: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?98c1smq7nk4485d
ODIN: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?c7qbjaqwgpnbr9w

CWM v6.0.3.2:
- Built from the latest CM10.1 sources.
- It has all the nice CWM features.
- It can restore v4 backups (you can restore ICS with this too).
- Key layout: Scrolling: Volume up+down, Selecting: Home key, Going Back: Power+Back button. (Menu key doesn't do anything.)
- Known issues: ADB Sideload

CWM: http://www.mediafire.com/download/7xyevjf32fixf3a/CWMv6.0.3.2_CWM.zip
ODIN: http://www.mediafire.com/download/oksv1o2hu63gohi/CWMv6.0.3.2_ODIN.tar

CWM v6.0.1.5 Touch:
- Built using the online builder at http://builder.clockworkmod.com
- It has all the nice CWM features.
- It can restore v4 backups (you can restore ICS with this too).
- Key layout: Scrolling up: Volume up or home button, Scrolling down: Volume down or menu button, Selecting: Power button, Going back: Back button. (This is the default layout and cannot be changed.)
- The touch responsiveness is a little lazy. You have to wait some seconds before it starts working. (The online builder says it needs an ICS kernel for the touch version. We use the CM10 kernel (based on stock ICS one), but it's still lazy.)

CWM: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jz24eugrrr988f2
ODIN: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?6vju9tlf9byeufe

TWRP v2.5.0.0: (Thanks to 'cooleagle' for the tip! :))
- Built from the latest TWRP and CM10.1 sources.
- It has a lot of nice features, more than CWM does.
(For example:
- on-screen keyboard -> custom backup names
- built-in file manager
- built-in terminal)
- It has a fully touch-driven and very intuitive interface.
- The touch responsiveness is a little lazy. You have to wait some seconds before it starts working. (The online builder says it needs an ICS kernel for the touch version. We use the CM10.1 kernel (based on stock ICS one), but it's still lazy.)
Note: Backups of TWRP are said not to be compatible with those of CWM. For everything to work well, I recommend that you create a TWRP backup too before modding.

PhilZ v5.06.6: (Thanks to Tha TechnoCrat for the tip! :))
- Built from the latest PhilZ and CM10.1 sources.
- It has a lot of nice features, more than CWM does. Check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
- Based on CWMv6.0.3.2
- Known issues: ADB Sideload

Stock GB recovery (XWLA4): (Thanks to xlm13x for this! :))
- Use this if you want to return to the stock version.

CWM: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?di4e3ms3qrxuapy
ODIN: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?i4a1t7ntavvguu7

Stock ICS recovery (XXLQ7): (Thanks to xlm13x for this! :))
- Use this if you want to return to the stock version.

If you want to install a custom recovery for the first time, you always have to start with an Odin-flashable package first. Flashing a recovery with Odin doesn't increase the download counter!

Tutorial (Flashing with Odin):
Please refer to the following thread (This is very detailed and good in my opinion): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406664
Choose a downloaded TAR file (ODIN-flashable) for PDA option.

Tutorial (Flashing with CWM):
Note: This only works if you have already flashed CWM with Odin.
1: Reboot into recovery mode. Do this with a custom rom or by powering on your phone and pushing Volume UP+Home button simultaneously while the Samsung boot logo appears (you have to be fast).
2: Select 'Install zip from sdcard' menu.
3: Select 'Choose zip from sdcard' menu (or if you want to flash something from your internal sdcard, select 'Choose zip from internal sdcard' menu.) Note: On CWM v4.0.0.2, there isn't any separate menu for internal sdcard. It shows internal sdcard by default. External sdcard is mounted under the external_sd folder on the internal sdcard.
4: Navigate to the file you want and choose it.
5: Choose 'yes'.
6: Wait for it to finish and you're done.

Changelog:
  • 08 July 2012: Initial release of v5.5.0.4 in old thread
  • 09 July 2012: Added CWMv6.0.0.0 Touch (alpha)
  • 17 July 2012: Added CWMv6.0.0.3

  • 30 August 2012: Modified CWMv4.0.0.2 (touchkey backlight, some init tweaks and smaller image) added.
  • 2 September 2012: Stock GB (XWLA4) and ICS (XXLQ7) recoveries added.

  • 16 June 2013: CWMv6.0.3.2 and TWRPv2.5.0.0 with USB Mass Storage fix updated, PhilZv5.06.6 added

Have fun and enjoy! :)

Hey guys, sorry for the links being disabled. I've just received a mail about it. Dropbox thinks the links are generating too much traffic. Thank you for downloading so much! :D:D I'll reupload everything to somewhere else asap.

Update the OP!

@Adam...Now that this thread has been stickied it is best that you also add the attached CWM recovery v4.0.0.2 to the OP. This will make it a one stop thread for all recoveries for Galaxy R. Also please include a short tut about flashing these recoveries through recovery and ODIN separately!(With screenies if possible!)
One more thing, the attached v4 CWM recovery is ODIN flashable. See if u can make a CWM flashable version out of it as you did for other recoveries!

Thnx:good::cool:

Thanks for the idea! I'll do it on tuesday (I'll arrive home then.) as well as I'll reupload everything to somewhere else as Dropbox has limits with file downloads. I may also add a flashable stock recovery if somebody wants to revert only the recovery.

Along with the stock recoveries of ICS & GB CWM flashable zips kindly try to add a Unroot CWM zip (ICS / GB separate if needed) so that everyone can just flash that zip & get unrooted if in any circumstances they can't flash the stock ROM via a USB if the port is damaged. This will serve as a way for people who have damaged their USB port to get unrooted, flash stock recovery & claim warranty for the damaged USB port.

pankaj88 has already made one but it doesn't remove the busybox so if possible try to make a zip which removes all the traces of the a rooted stock ROM.

You could start a new thread for it if you think it's needed as it is pretty useful & important.

Cheers ! :)

UPDATE:
I updated the links, added CWM v4.0.0.2 and a short tutorial.
I'll get stock GB and ICS recoveries and add them in the following days (It depends on when I get them.)

This is great since I need to repack the stock firmware with CWM now just to get rid of the emmc bug.

    I'll rather upload on MediaFire. All of my Android-related things are there and I like to keep things in one place. :D I will update 6, 6Touch and TW with my new JB kernel, but it still needs a bit polishing.
