[Q] Can flash a temporary recovery as permanent? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hi! I want to have ClockworkMod Touch on my S2 and I have a temporary zip, but I don't like having a temporary recovery.
Is there a way to convert that zip in an IMG or a TAR to flash it with ODIN?
Thank you in advance.

It is not practical for an average user to convert a CWM flashable zip to tar.
Do you mean recovery, or kernel? SGH-I777 does not have a separate partition for the recovery. The recovery is built into the kernel.
Please post a link to the "recovery" you want so I can take a look at it, and I can answer your question better.

The zip file is from the official ClockworkMod site http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.0-i777.zip
Then... If I want another recovery I have to modify the kernel?

Actually, I don't even need to look at the file. Just knowing you got it from the CWM site is enough. You can not use that on the SGH-I777. If you try, you may permanently damage your phone.
Unless you have fairly strong kernel development skills, there is nothing you can do "modify the kernel." You will have to use a kernel that is available already. Depending on what firmware you have installed, you may be able to find a kernel with Touch recovery built in. But it's not as popular with developers lately as it was a few months ago.

OK, thank you for the information. I can still using the temporary zip until I find a good kernel.

Another question:
Can I send an order to the recovery at startup? For example: Recovery Starts and flashes something.
I don't think it's possible but just to know.

I also found a temporary touch recovery that was AWESOME! Why do the developers not incorporate it? Truly just wondering...

When you refer to "touch recovery" are you referring to twrp?
I assume you're looking for something different than the touch navigation of siyah based kernels?

It was a full touch version of cwm. I forget where I saw it but realized it was temporary because it was just the recovery and I was afraid to reflash it.
Edit: I'm thinking I did get it from the CWM site specifically listed for I777 - but again it is just temporary since its not incorporated into any kernels.

No, TWRP is a completely different development group and initiative than CWM. CWM Touch Recovery is touch screen activated, no need to use any buttons. I don't remember if TWRP has a touch recovery or not. I guess TWRP is touch based all the way.

[MOD] CWM Recovery to Stock without ODIN

Long time lurker, first time contributor.
After rooting, installing CWM recovery, Saurom, Da_G's kernel and a few tweaks I wanted to wipe and start over (and do some ICS hacking!). Unfortunately I didn't see a really quick way to do it (other than ODIN, what a pain - I'm on linux).
So I wrote a little update script to overwrite existing partitions with stock images stored on the sdcard. But here's the twist, instead of hardcoding everything in the update zip, it uses a property file on the sdcard at run-time.
Check it out, flame away...
Hope someone finds it useful.
I will try it later this week

Great idea! It works, now I can put different combination of OC, ROMs, Rooting in different folders and flash to any set I want in one step without increasing the counter.
This post should move to Development forum to get more discussions.
Thank you.
Thats awesome. Always wondered why no one had done this

complete modding has already been accomplished without increasing the flash counter, I have rooted, installed cwm recovery, flashed overclocking kernel by da_g, and I haven't increase the flash counter, and I'm waiting for the tpc v3 to flash that and as long as is on cwm zip format I can flash whatever I want without the worry of the flash counter ever going up. Now that cwm is fully working(except for usb storage)people will make stuff in cwm format, this method would help if it would be necessary to go back to stock in case of a mayor issue, and what's so great about your recovery that you say it blows away cwm?

I think he means overwrites recovery, i.e. reverts back to completely stock.
Yup..including recovery...without the need for adb
That what makes it pretty Much awesome. I have seen the nook guys do this but not many others
The other stuff about is just neat
Its development...which we sorely need and should be encouraging

install from zip?

[Q] Why do I have two different versions of CWM on my i777?

I am running the latest cm9 nightly. If I boot into recovery by using the power button reboot option, I get cwm 5.5.0.4 (from Entropy's DD kernel when I was on UnNamed). If I boot into recovery from rom manager, I get version 5.8.1.8. So apparently I have two different versions of cwm installed on my i777. Is this normal? I cannot seem to update the older version by flashing a newer version over it.

You can't update with it, you can't back up safely with it, you can't restore with it, and if you boot into recovery with it you WILL screw up the phone at some point.
Even if someone pipes up that "it works fine on CM9" I still won't believe it - it's just not built for this phone.

Apologies then, but if it's flawless, then I'd be curious how it's dual-booting recovery. Maybe the question should go in the CM9 thread? Or just put it somewhere Entropy will notice - I'll bet he knows.

Yeah I'd ask Entropy for sure, he is the kernel master. The only thing I can think of why it is dual booting like that is, it is injecting it's own recovery that is associated with the app. SO when he boots through rom manager it gives him one recovery whereas booting using the button method gives him the cwm associated with the kernel. But as for working flawless, for CM9 you can download the newest nightly's, boot into recovery and flash all through the app.
Yes, I am sure Entropy knows why. I hope he or anyone who knows the topic notices this thread and shed some light on it.

Somehow, and I'm not sure why, RM is able to inject its own recovery.
This would be the first time in my entire history that it didn't inject a broken one.

Updating Clockwork Mod Recovery

I currently have CWM Recovery 5.0.2.6 and I'm on CM9 RC1. I want to update to RC2 but I want to backup first. Backup in recovery keeps failing ("Error while making a backup image of /data!"). I thought I'd try updating to the latest version (6.0.1.0), but I can't find a clear answer on this (I read multiple posts on these forums): can I just flash it using the update from zip option in recovery? (I think you have to do it twice in a row?) Thanks.

From what I've heard you should never update CWM. Also are you backing up in recovery? or Using (God forbid) Rom Manager
CWM is easy to install.
There are two methods that I know of.
The first being using ROM manager though it could (ironically) break it and your device end up in a soft brick.
The second is to manually push it using adb, but first you must download the CWM for our phone (i777) from the clockwork mod website.

Don't tell him to use rom manager.
CWM is part of the kernel on our phones, so you would have to find a kernel with the version of CWM you want to install and flash that to update it.
Are you sure you have enough free space on your SD card to do a backup?
I am using recovery, not rom manager. If I shouldn't update it, how should I backup without getting that error?

I can't stress this enough to people.
For the ATT Samsung Galaxy S2, model SGH-I77, ClockworkMod is a custom recovery built into a custom kernel. It is not separate and you do not flash or update it separately. Please do not attempt to update ClockworkMod at all, this will only result in a soft brick.
As mvi57 said, if you want a newer version of CWM, you'll have to find a custom I777 kernel which has the newer version built in.
I wish we could place this warning somewhere where newbies can see it while trying to flash stuff. I'm glad we caught OP before he soft bricked. OP, I don't mean to make you sound stupid or anything by such a highlighted post, I just want to warn as many newbies as possible, and I'm hoping they see your thread and thus this post.

That was it. I had past backups taking up space. Thanks.
Also, when I backup my phone to my computer (manually), some files don't copy over (I'm pretty sure it's because the file names are horrendously long). Is there a way I can get around this?
And karate, I take no offense to that. I prefer clear posts like yours, and I actually remember that it's part of a kernel now. I knew back when I first rooted, but forgot, as I'm sure many do. Maybe it should be added to a sticky about updating?

Just install the latest cm9 nightly for the i777. It will install cwm 6.0.1.1... our device is different than others, cwm must be built into the kernal.

Help Quick Please!!!!!

Hey guys. So I have been flashing Rom's on just about every android phone I have owned since the Moto Droid 1 came out. I never have had any real issues. I am by no means an expert but I do have a meager comprehension of how this all works. But for some reason when my friend brought his Moto Atrix 4g over to have me unlock it and root it for him, I got it unlocked and rooted successfully but once I completed those tasks I set about getting him a custom rom. I attempted to flash CM10, CM7 and a few other roms. Atleast 4 others. None of them seem to want to flash. His phone is now stuck on the Dual Core boot menu. When I go into recovery from CWM and select restore it just clears the screen of all text and nothing happens. Yes when I flash the rom I wipe cache/dalvik cache/ and factory reset. I have no idea what is going on or how to fix it at this point and any help would be appreciated. I am currently trying to find a stock image rom but the only one I found on these forums is outdated and there is no mirror in the link. So PLEASE PLEASE help me. Idk what to do.
Thanks guys!!!!

Oh wait did you mean like a different recovery under the CWM? There are no other Recoveries. The only option I get when I go to back/recovery is to either backup or recover so I select recover and then nothing happens from that point.
How did you flash CWM on it in the first place? It's the same procedure, you know... Or you could read the related recovery thread. Some people like romracer's others like TWRP. They're available in the dev section.

Oh ok my bad. I understand what you are saying. I wasn't sure if TWRP and romracer were compatible with this phone. I didn't know how that worked but if I can just try and flash a different recovery I'll do that. Ill try TWRP tonight that's what I have on my EVO 4g LTE and I flashed CM10 just fine on it so. Hopefully that will help. Thanks a ton man!
Well, if it's in this phone's dev section, it better be compatible with this phone, eh? Just don't try to use another phone's recovery. That could brick it.
I use TWRP recovery. There is a thread for that in the dev thread. Someone there made it flashable. You'll just have to search for it. Put it on the sd card, go into recovery and flash it. Reboot into recovery and there yea go. I prefer TWRP because it's different and easy to use. Good luck!!

Someone should put a sticky that the automatic unlock/root tool flashes an outdated recovery that doesn't work with new ROMs. We seem to get one of these threads every couple of days..

Just go to the play store and buy rom toolbox. You will not regret it. You can change recovery with a touch of the screen.

[Q] I think I have two recoveries running parallel

So I had originally had TWRP/Hyperdrive on my phone, and switched to CWM/Cyanogenmod. I noticed now that I seem to have two different recoveries on my phone, because if I hold up+home+power I can go to a different version of CWM Recovery than if I use the Rom Manager app to boot into recovery. How would I rectify this? Would it involve wiping the /boot partition? I don't know where/how recoveries are stored so I don't understand how I can have two.
Doing a fresh install of a ROM has not resolved this by the way. And actually currently, I can't hold the buttons and boot into recovery at all, it gets stuck on the Samsung logo. I can only get into recovery via Rom Manager or Reboot options if I'm in android.

That's what I would have figured would fix it, because I'm pretty sure that's supposed to wipe /boot, but I found out I cannot flash kernels on my phone for some reason and when having to fix softbricks while experimenting with why it doesn't work and flashing different kernels, I had to do that whole process so many times I can go from softbrick back to where I'm at now in about 20 minutes.

So I flashed that one via Odin, followed the guide to root and everything step by step, and now that I'm back on stock kernel and want to install CWM Recovery, I downloaded Rom Manager and hit install recovery and it says everything worked but if I boot into recovery it's just the android stock recovery.
EDIT: Another thing I thought of. Could the fact that at one point I used this method to install CWM recovery on my phone have caused there to be two different recoveries running parallel?

UPDATE: Using this method I installed the latest version of CWM Recovery Touch but Rom Manager still thinks the normal version is installed, though now if I hit reboot to recovery from the app it actually takes me to the touch instead of a separate one. Is the app dumb or do I still have an issue? Also I cannot install kernels without tripping the count and having my phone tell me I need to go to a verizon store.

ROM manager may actually be the issue.
And as far as installing kennels I've never had an issue myself. The last link you posted is about flashing the md2 kernel in order to root the phone. Do you mean that?? Or installing say a KToonsez kernel after you're already rooted and have your custom recovery?

Right now I have three 3/22 nightly cyanogen up and running but as soon as I install kt it trips the Verizon security and on have to flash back to stock kernel to use my phone. Booting into Odin and canceling out to restart does not let me get past the yellow triangle
