How do I tell if I have loki? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed cwm with the loli images in it... I can get into cwm touch fine. Does this mean that I have loki?

[Q] Which recovery to use?

I'm currently running Acer_A500_0.022.00_WW_GEN1 with unlocked bootloader and tweaked kernel... have CWM as recovery...
If I want to flash another official leak (like theAcer_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1 that was just released) do I need to use stock recovery? If so, how do I get to stock recovery with CWM installed?
I'm not intending to flash it now... just curious about the proper process.
I appreciate the help!
look for touch recovery by thor2002ro on tegraowners. This is the best recovery for A500 for now

Hmmm.... isn't it the CWM users who have all the issues getting their CWM recovery images corrupted lately when running leaked ICS roms?
RA Recovery. Less things to do when you flash. More options.
Both have touch recovery.

I already have Thor's CWM installed with the ICS leak.. working great thanks to some very smart people! (You just have to delete a file before flashing to preserve CWM)
I've figured out that I need to switch to stock recovery... just was hoping for a key combo or something!

To install the stock recovery you can just dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 from a root shell where recovery.img is the recovery image extracted from the zip file of a stock leak. Then you can reboot into the stock recovery and flash the latest leak and flash a new bundle with CWM, BL & kernel for that version

Can't restore from CWM Recovery

I have rooted and installed CWM Recovery on my i9505 with 4.3 official firmware but I can't seem to recover my backups from CWM. It seems to complete the recovery task but at the end, it shows like i've only flashed a new rom and the root and CWM gone. Any solutions?
Thanx.

Help change stock recovery / revert to stock recovery (CWM based recovery) [SOLVED]

Hello friends,
I have rooted Galaxy i9505 international. Installed CWM based recovery 6.0.3.2(0611), and flashed last stable CM (cm-10.2.1-jfltexx).
Boot time have become longer (way longer) since installing CWM based recovery.
Couldn't find a decent post about how to:
1) Revert back to stock recovery.
or
2) Change the CWM based recovery to official CWM.
Anyone know how to do either?
Or maybe had the same problem with CWM based recovery?

Did you consider trying a different recovery (PhilZ) or a different ROM?
Look for a recovery you want to try if its a zip file flash it with CWM and if its odin file flash it with odin.

The latest CM snapshot booted a bit faster.
Actually after all those attempts I can't really remember how long did it take to boot before installing CWM..
But it does seems slower.

I prefer to flash the original CWM.
How can I flash it on top of the CWM based recovery?
Files there are img files.
Look in xda development section you will find it zip format or i think you can download a zip file of another recovery and the replace the recovery within the zip file with the one you want to flash.
If you want to flash it in .img format you can do that with heimdall but you will need the pit file of 19505 too.

Could not find any ZIP of the official Clockworkmod Recovery.
Is there any other way to install it?
Or better yet, a way to revert to stock recovery (from there I can install as in the beginning)?
Btw, is it ok to just replace recovery? Or should I "uninstall" my old recovery before installing the new one?

Hi,
You will get stock recovery if you flash a stock firmware.
There are also some stock recoveries listed HERE

philz touch - cannot go into recovery

I tried to install Philz touch on top of cwm. Now I cannot go into recovery. It says boot verication error when I try to reboot to recovery from rom manager - and gets stuck with a blank screen - I can however reboot to normal. If I try to go into recovery by pressing vil down and power I get a message whether I want to delete
If I try to go into recovery from vol down and power it asks me for a factory hard reset. How do I install a recovery again - and in the end Philz touch?
I have tried to search, but what I get to is a scenario where the device acts as bricked, and this is obviously not the case.
What is my best next step?

I'm about to flash Philz but I already have TWRP installed do I have to remove TWRP. If so I was wondering how to remove twrp and then install Philz. Tried searching but can't find anything. I know the OP mentioned he flashed over CWM but I was under the impression that you could always just flash a recovery over another.

Try using FreeGee to install TWRP then download the latest Philz and then open FreeGee, hit menu key, update loki patch, choose Philz, apply patch. Then flash patched Philz with TWRP. You could also install an older Philz then turn off Loki check to flash the new one.

You don't have to delete anything but read my instructions above on how to get Philz working.
Thank you. I'm just making sure about something. Currently Philz is better then twrp for some variants of G2 that aren't up to date with twrp correct? Also I can just install Philz like any other Rom from twrp, as long as its loki'd?

Philz is the recovery most compatible with the newer 4.4 stock and GPro2 roms with the patched kernel and is a solid, full-featured recovery in general. If you are going to install a certain rom or mod it may tell you to use a certain recovery in the instructions, so I have a copy of each on my phone. And yes, once you patch Philz you can flash like any other zip.

thank you so much!. FreeGee did the trick. I could not install TWRP, but I got my old CWM back, and from there I could install 1.15 Philz. However, the same happens when I try to install the newest Philz from there, so I had to to it all again with FreGee - which however works like a charm. I will check Philz thread about this - unless one of you have a quick trick

You can install the older Philz, then turn off loki check and flash the newest.
Or you can download the newest, open Freegee, hit menu button,update loki patch, choose Philz. Then the newest Philz is ready to flash and patched if you need it again.

Are you on d802? What recovery are you on now?
yes i´m on d802, atm i could manage to install the phillz recovery6.0.4.5 by desabling the loki verification on CWM that i can install on freegee, i´m going to try to install the latest phillz, but i´m afraid that without the loki verification it fails and gives problems wille isntaling roms and stuff...
edit:
it dosen´t work it sais it flashes ok, but then it never boots again to recovery, it gives an error about aboot, and goes to black screen and on pc it opens loooots of drives withou anything on it... :S
---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------
the problem is with newer versions of phillz and someting that happend with my phone.
i can install CWM 6.0.4.6 and the on CWM i disable loki verification and a i can install philz_touch_6.07.6, but if i do the same and install philz_touch_6.19.7 it wont work, it gives the error and wont go into recovery anymore, i have to go back to freegee and instal cwm again
i`m flashing the origina KDZ often so i make sure that the error ist not there...
the wirdest thing is that before i updated to kk i had phillz working perfectlym then i went to stock, instaled kk portugal open 16gb and the never could install phillz again any other recovery be that CWM ou touch recovery works ok...
Yep, I thing the newest Philz is bugged cause I got the verification error as the OP said. I just used freegee, installed twrp 2.6.3.3 and now I'm safe. Gonna try to install a different date of philz.

I am now a happy CloudyStock user
What in the end worked for me was Fregee to reinstall CWM to get a working recovery, from CWM install an older Philz Touch - 1.19.3, turned off Loki check and from there 1.19.7 could be installed. But I think that it is nice to know the different options. If I had seen the link above it would probably have been easier. Thank you to everybody for the engagement, I hope it helped others as well.

Hi Just a question, wich OS did you used to flash the original kdz? I heard that windows 8 and 8.1 had problems copiyng some files, Magne that os the problem.
I will try to do the same operation but with win7 to see if the result is the same and then i report back.
