[Recovery] ClockworkMod Touch & Non-Touch v6.0.4.7 [LOKI-DOKI]

[rpoitras]

Hi All,

I've been a ClockworkMod Recovery user since I started with Android devices and never had a problem so I'm still happily using it today. The issue is that I can never seem to find a flashable version of the latest version so I'm making this post to provide that if anyone is interested. I'm using the loki-patch tool from djrbliss to patch the recovery image and then I create a flashable zip to install it. I wrote a little script that I run under Ubuntu to patch the recovery as well as create the zip package so keeping up with the latest recoveries should be simple. I've modified the way this flashes so that both the loki patch and loki flash tools are used which perform additional checks to make sure a valid bootloader base is being used. I re-used the loki-doki script from attn1 and modified it a little to do recoveries instead of bootloaders.

The flash process performs the following:
1. Extracts a boot image directly from the device, therefore much safer and more generic.
2. Using loki-patch, applies the loki patch to the CWM recovery image using the extracted boot image.
3. Using loki-flash, flashes the patched recovery image to the device. As per djrbliss, there are checks in the tool to avoid unsupported bootloaders so it's obviously much safer.

About the images:
- This is the latest touch and non-touch versions of ClockworkMod v6.0.4.7
- This is for the Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon) only!
- This is for bootloader version I545VRUAMDK only!
- As with any other downloads here, flash at your own risk!

Installation:
- This is meant to install via recovery so just copy to your device, boot into recovery, and install from zip.

All thanks go to:
- djrbliss for his loki tools found here: https://github.com/djrbliss/loki
- The ClockworkMod Team who provides the recoveries here: https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
- attn1 for his loki-doki install script found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/41841-lo...tom-boot-image-on-att-and-verizon-galaxy-s-4/

I had been looking for the same thing for a few days. Made my own zip to get on 6.0.4.7

Thanks for doing this... Rom manager hasn't been working for me flashing, but I did just get pointed to flashify in another thread and that worked well.

Good to have options!

I tried 6.0.4.7 and it won't flash older update binaries... Philz version has the option to disable this issue and cwm 6.0.4.4 still works great for me...but 6.0.4.7 won't flash most of the touchwiz Roms available

Don't know why I quoted you...habit of quoted replies I guess...lol

I'd be curious - if you install flashify and flash the latest CWM with that, see if you have the same issue?
Or let me know what binary you're trying to flash and I'll test it as well.

Yes it would still persist...it uses only new updater scripts as tho old ones have been deemed "dangerous"

This is a good thread to have going for sure. I'm on Philz as well but this should help a lot of folks out. Good work
