I've been having trouble just finding a twrp recovery image for the i777. I see ones for the skyrocket but I wouldn't imagine them being compatible for this phone. Would I end up having to compile it myself, or is there some resource where I can get it from?
I've seen some kernels bundled with twrp but none with the recovery on its own.

Right here BUT I think it only works if your running SHOstock3 which rocks anyway!! He has a cwm & twrp version.

It's really simple.
Recovery on the i777 is NOT in its own separate partition. Recovery on this device is packed with the kernel.

I am not looking for a different kernel. I use CM 10.1, and was looking to use twrp so I could have my device encrypted and still be able to update.

But I can install my own version of cwm recovery, why would that mean making a twrp image impossible?

I am not using a rom manager of any kind, and do not know why you would assume that. The CWM Recovery images are available on their website, which are flashable from a custom recovery or through fastboot.

So you flash a recovery with recovery? For what purpose? At the end of the day if you have a borked OS and need in recovery mode you will have to use the recovery thats packed with your kernel because that is the one that responds to the three finger salute.
Oh. And fastboot? The i777 doesn't have fastboot

Or I flash the recovery from fastboot mode. Also usually do this to replace cwm touch, since I don't really like the interface, nor do I trust a kernels own skinned version of a recovery. The idea for getting twrp recovery is because it supports updating an encrypted rom, I believe. I wanted to encrypt my phone but still be able to apply ROM updates.
There is no fastboot mode on the i777

If creepy is questioning at you then you know you must be doing something wrong. You cannot just simply install another recovery. Dunno what else you're trying to accomplish but it's been very clear to you.
What he is doing is a temporary recovery. Not a good idea to try and mix temporary and full recovery. Risks abound lie in what the op is doing. I still want to know how he got fastboot on an i777

Hey there!
So I've read a bit lately on rooting my S2 and what not (as I decided to give it a go), and after flashing CWM Touch to my S2 I loved it and found it so much easier to install ZIP's and what not. However, on boot it disappeared, then to find that it was only a temporary Flash and when I rebooted the phone, it simply reverted back to the normal CWM.
Now before asking me to use Google or search for a thread, by god I did that. And after looking for almost 2 hours, I found nothing that gave me a definite answer whether it was possible or not. And so this is why I'm creating a thread.
So is it possible to flash CWM touch on my S2 permanently (like other phones have), or do I have to stick with the volume/power button edition.
Thanks everyone! And thanks in advance.
The recovery, it's part of the kernel so which ever version of ClockworkMod the kernel shipped with that will always be there. If you really want touch recovery, you can flash Siyah Kernel and you'll be rooted and have its touch recovery.

Hmm I hoped that wasn't the case.
But isn't there a way to use ODIN3 to flash the kernel with a custom recovery, such as the CWM touch?
Sorry if that sounds stupid, I just am new to all this.
Not sure if you are allowed to bump this or not, but I just did.
Really want to know if it is possible to flash CWM touch on the kernal guys!

Thanks for the reply.
And I do have the CWM touch zip in my internalSD but there isn't and point flashing it if everytime I reboot the phone and it goes back to the stock kernel.
I just want to know if there is a method possible to flash CWM touch into the kernel, and make it permanent, or at least fine a .tar version of it so I can flash it using odin
Once again I'll bump this.
Does no one have a solution at all?

Edited. Sorry, I re-read the thread. As already stated, you'll need to flash a kernel that has the version of recovery you want. If you want a different version of recovery with a specific kernel, you'll need to start making your own kernels.

Why don't you just look at the kernels in the development section, specifically for one with touch recovery? You could have found all the available options and tried them out by now.
Or are you just being lazy?

No I'm not lazy, sorry if I came across that way. I am usually one to simply find something on my own, but for this I simply cannot.
I've looked and cannot find what I asked for in the OP, and am still looking and found nothing. So I simply asked a question to make sure that there isn't a possibility that it can be done.
Anyway it doesn't seem possible at the moment, so I guess I'll wait.
I just picked up a i717 and I'm trying to root via this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740367.

in case you miss it or read too fast..
there is a point where you pull the battery so you dont have your recovery overwritten during boot..
once i was in cwm recovery i flashed a custom rom that did not have that "feature"

I have the Rogers note and running ICS BlackStar X as my daily driver without any issues. Been hearing good things about the Novena rom but haven't tried it out since I'm happy with my current setup.
So I keep seeing people posting "flash with CWM" CWM is what I have always used on my devices and when we unlocked the N2 it had TWRP on it. So my question is, does it make a difference one or the other? I was thinking of flashing over to CWM but have been enjoying what has been there since I unlocked.
Thanks guys!
sent from my unlocked and overclocked Note 2
Imo cwm is way more reliable, I've never had issues in the 5 years I've been on android and used cwm. I've heard of problems with twrp from time to time, it's up to you though. Some roms can only be flashed through cwm though.
tappin from a paranoid Note II
In the past I had serious issues with CWM and/or Rom Manager. Rom Manager often would not really load CWM when it said it did and CWM would not install roms/kernels. However, that was a few years ago and I've not used it since. I've never had an issue with TWRP and I believe that since their update a few days ago it will flash the AOSP roms too.
They will both do the job.
CWM Now..
I always used TWRP on my Thunderbolt. But now I'm back to CWM on the Note 2 so I can flash ROM's that TWRP doesn't play well with.
Is TWRP, Titanium?

Team Win Recovery Project.
And OP: its a matter of preference ASWELL AS some roms do not play well one. If you are a new user to the overall custom rom scene, I suggest sticking to TWRP. Otherwise if there is a rom that piques your interest use CWM.
I believe you also have the option of swapping between the 2 on the fly, because both are available in zips.
Cwm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35396518
Just flash from your current recovery and you will be able to use it upon next reboot into recovery. Be it known that CWM doesnt play with exFat SD cards so that is a known issue.
And if you decide you like TWRP better and wany to go back:

Hate to tell you it can. I bricked an S3 by accidently flashing an S2 kernel to it which bricked the device to the point that a jig would not even revive it.
That makes no sense if you think of the booting process... I mean crazy things happen. But a kernel should never fully brick a device...

the issue has already been found. The kernel is for a different device.
It should only result in a soft brick... Bootloaders are the first to come (primary then secondary. Secondary passing the booting process off to the kernel. Recovery is in the kernel while DL mode is in the boot loaders.) Oh well. I make sure I don't do stuff like that. I'm really OCD and paranoid about stuff being just right.

\Yeah thats what I thought as well. I was just rushing far more then I normally do and downloaded the same rom for both the S2 for my brother and my S3 and flashed the wrong one to mine. Boy was I not happy. Spent 3 days with some of the most talented developers here and we all agreed that jtag was the only hope.
I have flashed paranoidandroid 3.15 on my galaxy s3 a couple weeks ago, aside the occasional screen that win't turn on I haven't had any problem, but I set my mind on flashing a new kernel in order to be able to change thez governor. I tried to flash air kernel on, I did exactly what I was told: Boot into recovery, clear cache/delvik, installed kernel from sd card, and rebooted. But after the phone being rebooted, I still had the stock kernel.
My question is, why did this happen, and how do I fix it?
All help is appreciated
