• If you are experiencing issues logging in, we moved to a new and more secure software and older account passwords were not able to be migrated. We recommend trying to reset your password, then contacting us if there are issues.
  • Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done. We still would love to hear feedback over at this thread and also check out the new XDA app! Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new forums, and thanks for your support of XDA <3

Below is PhilZ Recovery, ported for the Galaxy Grand 2 (LTE variant).

Thanks go to:
aapav01 ... For beating me to building CWM for the SM-G7105
alt.filth ... For making PhilZ Recovery for the SM-G7102
Testers ... For testing!

The name of the first three testers to provide feedback will be added to the recovery's background in the final build.

And please make backups before testing!

Bugs:
If it boots (theoretically, it should), then the only bug is ADB Sideload.

Download:
Some ungrateful people have downloaded this.
And no one at all has provided feedback.
I removed the link to stop further abuse.

Please send me a private message or reply to this post so I could send you the link.
And for people who already downloaded, PLEASE tell me if it works so I could use this to port TWRP.

Testers have reported that the recovery does not boot.
I tried and tried, but it seems not to work.
The other method (automatic building from source on Linux) is not feasible to me as I don't have enough data to get 15 gigs of sources. Data is expensive in my country.
In case I found a way to get that amount of data (i.e. nagging my dad to boredom), then I'll update this thread. Otherwise, I'll ask a moderator to shut it.
