[Q] custom recovery work on the same chip? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

if that was the case they'd just merge galaxy s4 and htc one's forums together

Unfortunately you can't because of the different partition layouts of the device and the fact that ever device has it's own unique recovery.fstab which tells the recovery where to mount the /data partition, /cache partition etc. so that operations such installing files, and wiping partitions can occur. If your interested in getting Clockworkmod Recovery on your device I would recommend taking a look at this guide on porting Clockworkmod Recovery to a new device.

Thank you....I will see this guide

Question regarding CWM and Rom Manager

Can Clockwork Mod be installed on the SGS2 too enable backups etc???
I'm not a complete noob when it comes to Android, but am new to Samsung devices and just want a easy way to backup and restore before I start messing with themes kernels etc etc

Not until it has been added to the supported devices for CWM. Each device is different, different boot sectors, different partition sizes and a fair few other bits. Each one has to be supported, and as of yet, CWM does not support SGS II.
Hopefully soon it will

hmmm i thought that system partition of SGP was too small for two systems to coexist.
It's virtually impossible.
also, this thread would fit in Q&A section or general discussion.
Couldn't you use your external SD Card assuming that you've got one big enough?
The external sdcard isn't the /system partition.
The ROMs each have a seperate /system and /data partition (at least on my O2X) so both of them combined might be too big for the partition.
Take a look here. Its the O2X thread on Dual Booting. I recommend reading it so you can understand the basics.

CWM
I managed to find a CWM Recovery for Galaxy S Advance, googling it will come up with several results (can't post link),
But I have a problem. Trying to flash the .zip from SD card will start the installation, it says the recovery is replaced with CWM Recovery, and then the phone just turns off. Turning the phone on againg and entering the recovery shows I'm still in the original recovery (Android system recovery (3e)).
The problem is that this seems to prohibit me from flashing custom ROM-s form SD.
Any ideas?

Good new ACE user's, found 100% working TWRP and CWM6 for our device

Mod Edit: Links removed.
Are you sure, because the original developer section is several Custom recovery for our Ace model ported from Gio and not everything although it can be installed, but some items do not work as a USB mass storage and full wipe the problem of recovery.

Any news for rebuild this recovery?
For now, no new. Very busy with my first job, but working on this project.
my ext is ext3. I read that the cwm is ext4 only. IS that a problem?
I've made a cwm back of my cm9 rom using cwm 5.0.2.6: when I change my ext 3 to ext4, can i still use my cm9 backup to restore using cwm?

Almost all roms are in ext4 file system. Btw, cwm works on all roms. It is px recovery that only supports ext4 roms. You can easily restore your backup, don't worry.

Extract the rom using winzip, etc., & see what file format you get.

Cwm recovery on similar phones question

Hello All I have a noob question. There is a ClockworkMod recovery for a phone that is very similar to the phone I have they are the same brand almost the same chipset. The phone with the working recovery uses a Snapdragon 401 chipset my phone uses a Snapdragon 400 chipset. They also have the same partition tables supposedly. My question is will that recovery brick my phone if i flash it has a test? I realize that this is a pretty generic question but I just want to get to know a little bit more about how recoveries are associated with hardware.
I tried to learn and compile my own recovery image but then I realize I don't have a Linux box.
Thank you for any responses excuse my noobishness.
