This is the temporary version of my custom clockworkmod recovery

WARNING: flashing some update.zip files with format commands
can still brick your phone until you use a safe kernel, like PhilZ-cwm6.

New in v3.00
Completely revised new touch code
Much more user friendly touch experience
Lots of new features

Video Teaser:

Main menu at height setting 5 and 1

Read in my kernel thread post 2 for instructions to use PhilZ Touch features like aroma and ors support[/SIZE][/B]

PhilZ Touch 3.0 recovery (clockworkmod v6.0.1.5 based):
- touch interface: toggle 3 touch modes: FULL TOUCH, DOUBLE TAP to validate and SEMI TOUCH (scroll but no touch validation)
[*]new touch code completely revised compared to v2.x and older
[*]much more stable full touch mode: no more skips, jumps or wrongly validations while scrolling
[*]when you set full touch mode, it defaults to optimized settings for menu height and touch sensitivity (you still can alter them manually later)
[*]adjust scrolling touch sensitivity in 6 settings
[*]adjust menu height in 6 settings
[*]toggle vibrator on/off when using bottom virtual buttons
[*]toggle key repeat for volume up/down scrolling when maintained pressed: needs recovery restart to take effect
[*]backup/restore EFS and Kernel
[*]browse phone with root access using full GUI in Aroma File Manager: default location or browse for path
[*]support openrecovery script in 3 modes using a smart one touch menu: goomanager, default custom scripts location, browse for script
[*]mount internal and external sdcards on PC in recovery
[*]poweroff, reboot to recovery and reboot to download mode options
[*]Can be flashed in Stock Recovery
[*]Dual USB mount in recovery support (needs fixed kernel like PhilZ-cwm6)
[*]ADB root in recovery: just wait about a minute to activate

Why a temporary recovery?

Wipe safely on a stock kernel

Will work on any i9100 phone with ICS, even stock non rooted

No PC needed, only and android device and the zip files that you download to your sd card

Fully reversible after reboot

No Yellow Triangle and No custom counter increased

Incremental Backups to save a lot of space and time (CWM6)

Much better user interface, bigger menus, smoother scroll, safer touch, works with both touch and keys

Flashing instructions for stock recovery

Download philz-touch_x.xx_n7000-signed.zip, the last philz touch cwm v6.x for n7000 Galaxy Note. This version works with touch AND with keys to scroll in menus

Put the previously downloaded philz-touch_x.xx_n7000-signed.zip file on your external sd card

Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power), and select "apply update from external storage". Now select the philz-touch_x.xx_n7000-signed.zip file you copied in previous step

You get CWM recovery interface (this custom recovery is temporary, not permanent)

You are done

If it fails with black screen after successful flash:

Code:
read about it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32785650&postcount=33
It is because their recovery is not automatically restarted once killed
You can manually edit the file /sbin/killrecovery.sh in the temporary recovery zip package and modify it by adding the extra 2 lines before the #...
(make sure you edit it in something like notepad++ with EOL conversion set to unix)

so that it looks like below:

Code:

kill $(ps | grep /sbin/adbd) kill $(ps | grep /sbin/recovery) /sbin/recovery & exit 1

Save the zip and try it again

Download link posted again because of demands over PM

If you do not know what you do, do not download this
It can brick your phone, do not take me responsible
Until it is confirmed, never flash update.zip files if not on a safe kernel

Safe kernels for the Note are, among others, PhilZ-cwm6, Hydracore, CM9/10 and AOKP...

The issue:

I personally do not see harm having a temporary recovery, but in practice, to flash a ROM in recovery, you are strongly recommended to have a safe kernel. Since most safe kernels come with a cwm recovery, the temporary one is now useless, and even risky as people can wrongly think they are safe

To super brick a phone when wiping in recovery, you need 3 conditions and all 3 must be true:

1 - unsafe kernel
2 - bad chipset
3 - unsafe recovery

When flashing update.zip files, the conditions are:

1 - unsafe kernel
2 - bad chipset
3 - format command in update.zip file with unsafe binary-update

So, when flashing update.zip files (mainly some custom ROMs), even on safe recovery you can still brick your phone if you are on an unsafe kernel
This was confirmed by Elite Recognized Develope Entropy512

So, do not flash update.zip files in this one if you do not know what you do. YOU ARE WARNED

Do not come crying I am responsible about bricking your phone

I am really not sure if it is risky or not.

I would open the thread again if this point is clarified:

1 - unsafe kernel
2 - bad chipset
3 - unsafe recovery

This is true when you wipe in recovery

Now, lately, came the binary-update story when you flash update.zip files with format commands

So, is that a 4th needed condition or something that will brick your phone if conditions 1 + 2 are true, what ever condition 3 is
Condition 3 would be:
3 - unsafe recovery AND / OR ???? unsafe update-binary

I think the best use of this temp recovery, is for stock ROM devices.
As far as I know, after booting into this temp recovery, I'd just flash a safe kernel (like PhilZ 2.7), and do boot to recovery again.
Then you'll have safe kernel and recovery for wiping and flashing....

It can be flashed with PC Odin and yellow triangle with counter.
My method does the same without using PC Odin or counter....
You don't need triangle away in this case....

No, PhilZ-cwm6 in zip package can be flashed directly in stock recovery bypassing signature check, no yellow triangle or anything like that
I add odin packages as sometimes they come handy when you loose recovery access (like in my case when playing with them too much)

this is wat I was trying to say. u can flash it in the stock Android recovery 3e

# message swifted from Note, travelled in the air to gateway and wi-maxed to forum@XDA #

liron_69 · Oct 9, 2012

Well, it seems that we all set for this great recovery. The last time I saw the stock recovery 3e was when I bought my device and for few seconds only

Thanks for this solution for those who needs it...

Confirmed SAFE by Entropy except for flashing zips with unpatched update-binary.
