What does it mean by working sd card?

I think at one time cwm didn't have support for our external sdcard.

Support as in being able to flash stuff from our external sd card? Or support as in mounting the external sd card?

Mounting if I remember right. You could only use internal sd I think.

Sorry, I labeled it that way for my drop box.

Yes, when CWM first came out for our phones, people were having issues with having ext-sd card support. It was fixed in later versions. Nothing special about it

It just works.

However, I still prefer TWRP.

Thanks guys! And gals (I think

) wasn't sure if it meant we could mount sd card to computer in recovery cause that's something I miss lol.

Just to be sure, is the stock recovery you just added LEM, LG1, or LH2?

I don't think the recovery is firmware specific. The recovery operates independently from the OS from what I understand as it is a separate partition.

Right, it is separate and operates independantly. You did prompt me to double check everything though and while any of the recoveries will work with any build (like the modems) they are different for each version. LEM and LH2 recoveries are roughly 4kb different in their size, and every OTA (leaked and official) has a different recovery-from-boot.p which patches the current recovery.

For purposes of OTA updates this may cause it to fail in the same way that having the incorrect modem causes it to fail. I haven't tested this though.

I believe the recovery is patched a little differently in the OTAs than the rest of the system. It doesn't actually patch it during the ota upgrade process, but patches it on boot. This is why we have the recovery-from-boot.p and install-recovery.sh in every OTA, but not in the official full FW used with Odin. Its not to make custom recoveries more difficult to use, that's just a side effect of the method Samsung chose to use.
(I could be wrong on that last part, but don't think I am. Just thought id add it here as an extra bit of fyi for everyone)

I am not sure what version I pulled it from. I pulled it a few months ago, so obviously one of the previous releases.

Haven't had any issues thus far though with my phone. Updated to the latest.....

It's quite easy to spot in the recovery where it's failing during an update. It will mostly ***** about missing APK's you may have uninstalled, or if you modified the boot logo, I have seen that as well.

DocHoliday77 · Oct 17, 2012

Yeah, as far as functionality, it should be perfectly fine.
And it may indeed update just fine as well and only fail to patch the recovery on boot. I'm just not sure is all.
Not trying to make a big deal out of it though.
Thanks again for putting all of these out here!

When I extract the twrp.zip file, it is giving me a .img file not .tar.md5

wat do?

I need a .md5 file so I can save my mama's phone!

Also, can I use CWM instead to wipe the phone when it's soft-bricked?

You can fastboot flash the img file if you know how to use adb/fastboot

Edit... Just downloaded the top file in the op and it was a tar.md5.... Put that in odin under PDA section and flash away
