[recovery][testing] CTR Recovery for Galaxy A5 SOLVED - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hi all,
This is my second project ,.
This time I ported CTR recovery by the recognized contributor @carliv, (do you remember the old CWM, well, this recovery is based on the old CWM)
If u want to read more about this recovery, read this.
But the problem is that I haven't an external sdcard and an OTG pendrive, so I need someone who want to test all functions of this recovery before creating a thread, and for anyone who want to test this recovery (and report bugs...) email me at [email protected] and I'll give you the link
Ah, this recovery is only for a500fu, and it's not tested on other variants
NOTE: If you want to became a tester, you have to tell me what works and what doesn't work.
I need about 3 testers MAX.

[Fix] Permanent Chinese CWM

Hello
well i also faced this issue,if ur not aware of it then let me explain a liitle.. if you have upgraded to the latest version via OTA then there are some patch files in the system which do this trick.. so in order to get permanent recovery if u flashed it via ur phone with apps like flashify or recovery tools then you need to go to
System and there you will see a file with name Recoveryfromboot.p just delete that file and flash chinese cwm and ur done :]
btw i'll try to build the english cwm as soon as i get some free time.. thanx to burakgon for releasing the kernel sources..
Thanks simmer14, works perfectly after removing that file from system. So that confirms it's not bootloader lock issue. No idea why custom kernels and twrp not working then?

edit :
custum kernels are not working ? did you tried to compile one from the sources ? or the sources are not complete ?
I didn't tried to compile anything, but some guys did here -

[Q&A] [MOD][SEP 14] MultiROM v28 (Redesigned GUI!)

Q&A for [MOD][SEP 14] MultiROM v28 (Redesigned GUI!)
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
I'm trying to get ubuntu touch RTM running with MultiRom on my Nexus 4, and it's erroring out on boot. When I try to view the log it seems like it gets overwritten by the log for the successful android boot every time I try and get the phone to a place where I can actually access it.
I couldn't find a way to view it through recovery, and copying it to the sd card doesn't give an option to re-name, so it gets overwritten. How can I actually view the log?
rooting secondary rom
Tassadar, i have your lollipop factory image installed as secondary rom. I have a question about rooting it. I have read in other threads one cannot just flash supersu zip for root to work, that people are using CF Autoroot instead. Would this method overwrite multirom recovery ? Could you say best method for rooting. Thanks
does this contain the new radio, bootloader etc?
Solved by flashing permissive boot image zip from skypompos thread and super su 2.19 zip.
Grabbed lrx21t_mako.zip from OP's basketbuild site, fresh installed as secondary ROM, stuck at boot animation forever.
Primary ROM is stock 4.4.4, with latest 4.4.4 kernel+1105recovery+v29 all installed by multirom.
5.0.1
Hey man,
I know its just out,
but a 5.0.1 LRX22C_mako.zip would be awesome!
Thanks
question
Hi, can i use multirom on my nexus 4 with lollipop? And can i use as secondary rom a rom based on kitkat?
Does MultiRom work on lg optimus g (e975) mako unlocked and by modifying build prop to nexus 4?
[Q]
Hey , i just downloaded 5.0.1 and flashed my nexus 4 with stock 5.0.1 , rooted and flashed custom recovery too, used your kernel for 5.0.1,and flashed your custom TWRP
installed multirom and now, TWRP->Advance..->Multirom->Add new rom -> android-> zip-> and here, renamed my " occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.tgz (4.2.2)" to " occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.ZIP" to be able to flash ZIP
when i select " occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.zip " to flash as secondry ROM ,after 1sec TWRP restart, i mean it close itself and reopen at TWRP main page, and then i can see "occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199" in rom list
but cant boot it and getting error
(log file attached)
whats wrong?
How do I restore a backup of any secondary ROM?
Hey, I have just made a back up of the data partition of my secondary ROM but, when I tried to restore it I realised that it's only possible to restore a back up for the primary ROM. There's any way to do that? Thanks.

Hello,
You can Swap your roms, swap primary with secondary, restore your data partition backup, then swap back,
Stuck at google logo.
Hi everyone, first post here, two days after buying this phone and I'm already in trouble.
I followed the instructions to use MultiROM to add Ubuntu Touch; and everything was fine, until I decided I wanted RW access. Then, I had the idea to sudo apt-get upgrade within Ubuntu... it failed to complete the installation of the packages (though it had space... I think), then I tried to reboot the phone.
Now it gets stuck at the google logo; and if you press the power button to shut it down, it starts again after a second or two.
I can access recovery mode pressing the three buttons, and within, I get to MultiROM TWRP by choosing "Recovery Mode"; but there's a lot of options here and I could not find anything that allows me to boot on either Android ("Internal" seems to be gone) or Ubuntu.
I'm an experienced linux user but -as can be seen- this is my first foray with Android, smartphones, and the like.
Let me know what other information should I provide; and thanks in advance for your help.

Nevermind. I flashed everything from scratch and now the phone is back on its feet.
I am not sure what is the problem, but adding specific radio images for secondary ROMs is not working. I tried with Sailfish OS and MIUI to include older radio images for them to work, but nothing changed.
Update primary rom
Hello.
I want to do a clean install of euphoria as the main rom. If I do I might lose the second rom?
Thank you for your attention.

silly question maybe but if I want to make my secondary rom the interal one and wipe the current internal, a copy secondary to internal would just do that right?
I wanted to do a swap first to be on the safe side, but I don't have enough free space for that
other remark : the app doesn't see that Ubuntu touch us already installed?
Multirom Ubuntu touch start error
İ have an issue about Ubuntu touch. İ installed multirom and installed what it recomemmends. İ installed Ubuntu stable with multirom. İt installed and opened first time. i choose my lang. etc . İt says phone is ready but there is an ubuntu icon rolling. Nothing else... İ cannot skip this icon. i Waited 1 hour or more 3 times. i have a nexus 4 with stock 5.1
I have some wondering what bothers me:
1. Internal rom is mounted read-only ?
2. Matter where I install the rom that I use more often,daily use ?
3. In system I do not realize if it moves slower but in recovery does(and load slower at startup),it can influence the performances and battery life in system?

I have the same issue. Can't enter into recovery and the phone is unable to start.
Same Issue || Don't Know How To Fix
Hi,
I am searching for a possible solution from a day. But could not find a working solution.
After successfully flashing RR-N-5.8.5 (Android N)
Unable to go into recovery.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
1. When Press Vol Up + Vol Down + Power Up
2. Recovery is not loading up
3. Instead it goes in boot loop
4. Normal boot mode and fast boot mode are working perfectly fine
SOLUTIONS TRIED:
1. Flashing recovery again using fastboot mode
2. Flashing different recovery, i.e updated version of recovery
As all recoveries which were available were for marshmallow version. I am not sure but have doubt as android version is updated so the kernel so do recovery also become obsolete in this case ?
Any help is welcome and appreciated
Thanks

Hi Developers,
Is it possible to reset the phone at hardware level? I can't even connect the phone to PC as it keeps on rebooting.
Please note: upgraded to Nougat and wanted to do the second recovery as suggested by mohancm in the post. When the phone rebooted (before flashing the second recovery), the problem started.
Please let me know if any one has a fix/workaround for the issue.
Thanks,
Srihari
1.Download TWRP recovery unzip files.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1CKVcdcbHFPUzFCODVMN0ZfTW8/view
2.Now in folder TWRP\img\ there is the file recovery.img.
3.Download the second recovery for nougat recovery-Nougat.img and put in the TWRP\img folder.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298981920
4.Rename it as the original, recovery.img and replace it.
5.Then connect your phone to usb and select the 3th option from usb debugging message
"Transfer photos(ptp)"
6.run TWRP_Install.bat from TWRP folder
And you are done, had the same problem and I figure this solution, hope it will help.
I cannot locate the transfer photos(ptp)
ok I already done the part I am now on the recovery mode thanks. new problem of mine is after flashing the rom gapps and recovery after reboot it goes back to recovery mode did I miss something on flashing?
ok so i already passed this problem thanks for the help xda community thank you very much but I have this bootloop problem maybe I did a mistake flashing before rebooting sorry i am a noob in this kind of upgrade specially in mobile phones. I will be careful next time after I passed this problem I hope you will help me once again, my phone in bootloop is killing me.
I have same issue... I flashed gapps and my phone is working smoothly... The issue is i can't go into recovery mode... I tried some one tap reboot to recovery apps but all whats happening is phone restarting normally.
For those who can't access recovery mode. You were supposed to flash updated recovery image after flashing rrn rom.
Enter into fastboot mode by using adb shell.
Flash the updated recovery image
Now try rebooting into recovery.
Should work.
Worst case, restore by flashing stock rom using SP flash tools. And then start all over again.
If you face any issues ping me. Even I had faced this issue and fixed it after a lot of struggle. I can try to help you.
Or you could download Official Twrp App directly from play store, then find A3000 (Air Row) in 'select device' and flash that to recovery, (if your phone is rooted) then you are good to go, go to recovery mode and thats all, your twrp is now has been flashed.
Thank me later??

This really worked for me. Many thanks man.
Well it got me some time to find the right recovery image for my ROM so I decided to give you link for anyone going through the same.
My configuration at that time was: DotOS 1.2 and TWRP 3.1.1 (or so).
On the DotOS thread was enclosed link to wrong recovery image file (or its version was changed as of 28.12.2018) but after small investigation I found this file recovery-mohan-N.img.
Note: This recovery worked for TWRP and Android Nougat and I'm not an expert to suggest this will work for your case either.
Thank you again and have a nice time

KW98 - twrp and rooting

Hello,
I am using kingwear 98 (kw98)
https://www.smartwatchspecifications.com/Device/kingwear-kw98/
It's a smart watch based on MTK6580.
I am trying to understand what is the best method to install twrp on mediatek devices.
1. Is it by using the magic twrp installer ?
2. Or by manually porting twrp to our specific device , as seen in some tutorials here (porting twrp with same chipset into socket recovery)?
Well, actually I did try a 3rd option:[/B][/B]
3. I tried to use AllCall-W1_recovery recovery.img ( which has the same chipset).
https://mega.nz/#!kfgmmRRD!RcvPwf0Jc-BAwM4Sf9fYJrmF3DsTQTEYtE2LVeWyE10
Surprisingly it worked . Yet, after several days without issues, last week it became dead.
So, I don't understand how it worked in the first place (it is same chipset, but probably use totally different interface , and drivers ! ) , and if it became dead because something it might be wrong to put same recovery image of another device, without. proper porting.
So, should I flash same image (allcall W1 recovery) again on a new kw98 device that I will buy, or use one of the above methods (port twrp manually into my stock, or install magic twrp for mediatek).
Thank you,
ranran
