Not that I know of. Boot, recovery and system dump is available but I don't think anyone started on custom recovery yet.

I won't build recovery since I've never done it and doesn't have the device, but I can make a package with boot and recovery for odin which I guess will be needed for testing recovery. I'll try to rebuild system dump as well to make it odin compatible.

Edit1:Can someone make a dump for this? param -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

Edit2:Here's a odin file for stock boot and recovery in one package.

I believe the pit-file is in mmcblk0p3, so can someone make a dd to sd and upload please

In terminal emulator:

Code:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/mt/sdcard/mmcblk0p3

Do I need to be rooted for this?

Yes, but I was wrong anyway

It seems to be hidden somewhere but using heimdall could work.
It got option for downloading pit from device.

Releasing device interface...

Thanks.
Now..is there any device with same processor & same screen resolution that got CWM? Maybe someone can just port it to SM-G730A using your stock recovery and that CWM.
Edit: Name of pit file should be MSM8930.pit

Got it already, but thanks

What about Galaxy express? Isn't that a similar device? http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_express_i8730-5271.php

justlovejoy · Dec 11, 2013 at 6:57 AM

Similar yes cause it's a galaxy but screen is 4.5 in, y'all talking 4 in. Idk about the processor but the original galaxy devices all had 4 in screens. Sorry if i missed something obvious, just reading around..

Both devices got 480X800 resolution.
Is this same as SM-G730A?
Chipset Qualcomm MSM8930 Snapdragon 400
CPU Dual-core 1.2 GHz Krait
GPU Adreno 305

You can take a look at this guide: [Guide]Port CWM Recovery for a device
May be worth a try, but first make sure you got a odin flashable original recovery file.
