UPDATE:

  • Updated PhilZ Touch sources to 6.40.1.
  • Fixed the misbehaviour of hardware keys in the new full version recovery.

In this version, I especially need feedback on:

-Hardkeys. Test all of them if they are correctly working or not.
-Change the 'Menu Background' to 'PhilZ Default' and 'Koush Default' (from PhilZ Settings > GUI options > Menu Background) and tell me if which of them is working. (ofcourse, reboot recovery after changing the background)

Different install method

I suggest you change the way we install this, either via Odin or flashing it in a different recovery. This method doesn't cause headaches only if you are on a Custom ROM, but if you are starting from stock, that's a different story.

Looking at the original dev's post, we can flash this via Odin. Or even through a flashable zip file through the stock recovery, like I do on my GSM. For this method I had to install BusyBox due to being on a stock ROM. And I really dont like it when someone (yajnab included) that think we are already on a custom recovery to flash a newer version

Hello,
I have a Galaxy Ace GT-S5830, with official ROM 2.3.5, and CWM Rcovery 5.
I wanted to install CWM 6.0.4.8.
When I type the command "flash_image recoveryonly /sdcard/recovery.img" in the terminal emulator and hit the enter,
terminal gives me this error: "error scanning partitions: No such file or directory found".
I installed the BusyBox for android 2.3, but it still gives the error "error scanning partitions: No such file or directory found".
So I have custom recovery installed and I have BusyBox installed, but CWM 6.0.4.8 image can not be installed.

Can you help me?

this should work for you . .
rename your cwm6.x.x.x.img to recovery.img
first make sure this image is for your exact phone model. NOT "i" or "M" ..etc
you will need working adb access from your pc to phone.
copy your recovery.img to the root of your sdcard.
reboot your phone into your existing cwm5.x.x
in cwm under "mounts and storage" choose "mount /sdcard"
from your pc's command prompt run the command : adb shell
you should now be logged into your phone.
from your pc's command prompt run command: cp /sdcard/recovery.img /tmp
from your pc's command prompt run command: flash_image recovery /tmp/recovery.img
reboot.

My exact model is Galaxy Ace GT-S5830, without i or m.
I did not understand what you mean by "make sure this image is for your exact phone model." This image is being put forward in a thread under "Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development".
1. So can we doubt that the image attached to "CWM 6.0.4.8 Advanced Edition / PhilZ Touch Recovery 6.40.1" is for my model? Aren't you sure?
2. Let me ask you a more fundamental question: IS IT SAFE TO FLASH THIS CWM ON MY DEVICE?

    :FAQs:​


    Q: Wanna know about Aroma File manager?
    Visit the aroma file manager main thread for more info---> Aroma file manager main thread

    Aroma file manager is a touch file manager which can be used while in recovery. It has options for copy, paste, delete,
    change permissions and many others. Also, it has a Terminal inside. So, if you forgot to give correct permissions to any
    file you can do that directly from recovery. This file manager has got many themes, font, icons, etc. options and it's UI
    is fully customizable.

    Q: How to start this File manager in Recovery?
    • Rename the downloaded file to 'aromafm.zip'.
    • Create a folder 'aromafm' inside 'Clockworkmod' folder on your sdcard.
    • Now, move that 'aromafm.zip' file to the 'aromafm' folder.
    • We're ready now, when you want to use it in recovery just double tap anywhere OR go to "philz Settings" and select
      "Aroma File Manager" and it will start up.
    • If you also want to browse /data, /system and /sd-ext then mount them in the "mounts & storage" option in recovery.

    Q: Problems with Aroma file manager startup?
    After doble-tapping OR selecting 'Aroma file Manager' option under 'philz settings' if recovery gives error: 'aromafm.zip
    not found at /clockworkmod/aromafm' then, wait for 4-5 seconds and again select 'Aroma file Manager', because it maybe
    busy mounting sdcard.

    If still doesn't work, you've made mistakes in steps mentioned in first post, please do again carefully.

    Q: Does your phone every time reboots to recovery?
    This happens very rare when you flash the recovery using any bad app or via any wrong (not proper) method. What you can do
    is:

    -If you've made a backup of your current ROM then just restore only it's "boot" and then select 'reboot to system'.

    OR

    -You don't have a backup? Then just flash the ROM which you are using currently again and wipe 'dalvik-cache'. Then reboot
    to system. Booting process will take time.
