Tried the flags we discussed
You end up with a zImage-dtb, but it has no DTB embedded data
You can verify by comparing it to the zImage: they are same
Also, no DTB files were created during compiling
The end is a zImage without the DTB info

Yea I noticed that b4 I broke mine from compiling. lol Not overly concerned with it atm. I'm sure the kernel gurus will work their magic.
Haven't installed it yet.
But I am dying hard to get a kernel for exynos with Boeffla or Faux audio driver.
Thank you for the CWM recovery!
Getting my Galaxy S5 tomorrow! And only have this one SM-G900H variant in my country. I will be replacing the recovery with this as soon as I get it!
ODIN v3.09, in case anyone needs it: http://www.devfiles.co/download/CAHmXM6c/Odin_v3.09.zip
thank you very much.it works perfect

But It's the @Chenglu work. I've just write the thread. I would like to be a developper, but it requires time & knowledge... But now, I don't have.

nope sure isnt, I didnt get into computers until I was in my early 30's and only been messing with android for almost 4 years now.
Has nay1 install it yet? is it working for 900H?
I`m guessing the recovery doesn't work for the SM-G900M model as I've tried the process a couple of times and can't seem to be able to boot into recovery mode, only download?

Gave another go without the auto boot. Ran the whole thing, then it was left at the blue reset on Odin. So I pulled the cable, pulled the battery, and did the recovery reset with the volup, menu and power thing.
Goes then to the message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing " and then just reboots the phone regularly without ever going through recovery.
Something wrong in the process or the way I did it?

Hello,
I dont know IF posting in the right place, but I searched the whole forum for a proper answer how to "unbrick" my boot loop-ed Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830..
Now I've tried installing several firmwares using Odin multi downloader v4.83 but none of them helped me, after all I cant access Recovery Mode!
I can acess Download mode, Emergency Dmod (arm9) and RAMDUMP (arm9)
I have: Android 2.3.3 GingerBread on T-Mobile Carrier (Hungary)!
How did I get here: rooted with SuperOneClick 2.3.2 and used an app for unlock (Galaxy Ace Unlock.apk) witch was probably the main source of the problem... Had no problems until I decided to reboot, rebooted successfully, the problem I had then was No carrier, then tried a second reboot and ever since then I'm stuck into a boot loop with no access whatsoever to RECOVERY MODE.
After installing firmware and waiting the 5 minutes in Odin, my device reboots intro a boot loop after about 2:32 min and nothing can be done furthermore...
I've serched the forum and found that data.rfs is missing in the firmwares... maybe that the source of the problem to... I dont know...
Please help me fix this problem!! Thank you!

You'll just have to keep flashing roms via Download Mode until one works (try flashing the stock rom).
P.S.: Your device has it's own forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1164.

I dont understand how can my motherboard be damaged? If it would be damaged then probably I't would not even start in the 1st place.

You have done everything you could and it's still not fixed (even the things other people did when they had the same problem - it worked for them, but not for you), so warranty is the only other way to get it fixed (or at least replaced).

Thank you for the help Theonew! Appreciate! I've taken it into warranty service, hopefully they wont find my device inappropriate for free service, and so I dont have to pay for it...
The only problem is that I have to wait at least 8 days untill I get it back..
Anyway, I've researched this Galaxy Unlock apk. and it seems thats the main source of the problem.
Thanks again!

Also, I'm in ICS (1.14) ROM not JB

Ok, I have copied the last_log file (i tried usb mass storage and waited for some minutes before copying the file). I'm unrooted so I picked up the file with AromaFM.
I hope it helps!
PD: There's also something weird that happened to me with the other CWM recovery: when I switched off the phone to charge it, the orange light blinks for 15 seconds and the phone starts again! It doesn't happen with TWRP recovery (the "starting process", not the blinking). EDIT: The restart issue does NOT happen with this recovery. Yeyyyy!!
@OP, why panicking? ums will work just fine
you need to add proper lines in BoardCOnfig.mk and ramdisk. You should have waited for me to fix it as i gave you my tree. Anyways Try uncommenting the line for UMS_LUNFILE which is commented, and delete the next two lines after it. Compile it with that and tell me.

Yes its your tree and actually the fix became apparent with the log.
Thank you for everything you have done for this devices recovery and I have no plans of changing that.The recovery is now fully functional and bugfree as soon as Gweedo767 is free he will be doing an official build(dont hold your breadth may take a while).
Post that official builds shall be available on clockworkmod.com and this thread will cease to exist(at least it will be locked).
And @neXus PRIME will you be updating your thread with this info since you will be the main maintainer.
Thank you ,
Dark Passenger.
Thanks for all your work making CWM official.:good::good:
btw, i said the "panic" thing in a light-hearted way.
The recovery tree is originally LLOIR's, later on modified by cobje(therbom), Clauddy, and then final fixed tree by neXusPRIME (me). Please give credits to all of them.
Secondly, i like TWRP far more than CWM, so i invite you to be the official CWM maintainer if you are willing. We can work on recoveries together.
I currently have JB and ICS TWRP 2.5.0.0 ready to be released but only do it when i receive JB OTA.
Lastly, NOTE that the tree you are using for OFFICIAL CWM is only ICS COMPATIBLE. You will need to modify the recovery.fstab for JB compatible recovery by changing the mount points for SYSTEM,DATA,CACHE as they are in JB ROM proc/emmc. Then you will rebuild and CWM will be able to flash ROMs for people with hboot 1.25.0.0

1. Its my pleasure.
btw so was mine
2.all credits will be present once official builds are online and I open a thread for it.(maybe you could make your thread jb version so there are both versions present for those who want it).
3.wat a coincidence I like cwm better than TWRP. no offence seem to work.Also the recovery tree as always is open for anyone with a github account to modify.
4.Same here the tree submited is for ics and will be updated only when i get the jb update(knew about the mount points from the various thread actually from your post I think).
PS do you know whats needed and/or where I can get the sources for touch recovery.
PPS in your recovery.fstab(cwm version) the internal sdcard(emmc) is mounted as vfat where as in cm its emmc.

I installed TWRP on my TrueSmart this morning via adb while booted to Android. Rename the file that you download to twrp.img and then do the following:
adb push twrp.img /sdcard/twrp.img
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/recovery
Done.

Sorry, I have a fairly high standard of roms at this point.
Dont want to go too far off topic, but I've had some issues with bluetooth (pairs, doesn't stay connected, thus making the companion app useless), battery life, etc.
I may have to run tasker scripts to emulate some of the things I want it to do with notifications and turning the screen on. Finally, if I install a new launcher, it'd be wonderful if it didn't cover up the notifications bar.

It was built from broken, crappy Umeox firmware so better battery life, memory management and pretty much every fix or improvement came form me. Like I said I'm done so no offense taken.

I don't have yours installed. Mine is just running completely stock firmware right now.
And it sucks that you're quitting. Your build looked to be the one thing that might make the OS on this thing worth using.

One final question here: I have been using apps like goomanager to reboot into recovery, but how can you enter TWRP straight from turning the watch on.
Is there a key combo that needs to be held when turning the watch on to get right into TWRP? I tried holding down the bottom right key and that did not work.

This, but your battery pretty much has to be fully charged or else it will just flash the Omate logo on the screen for a couple seconds and then shut off.

You can't flash this yet (I'm working on that, I promise) but you can boot from it!
NOTE: THIS IS A WIP. Not a lot has been really tested yet and this is posted merely for your enjoyment atm.
I don't suggest flashing anything yet, not that there is anything to flash heh.
Also, I take no responsibility if you break your watch, yada, yada.
To do this, make sure you have Android's tools (for fastboot), an unlocked bootloader, and the watch connected to your computer in Debug mode.
> adb reboot bootloader
<wait for the reboot to happen>
> fastboot boot /path/to/recovery.img

Nope, though I'll try to get to it tomorrow after work! If you want, I can give you an overview of what I did:
1. Pull the source for CM11.
2. Dump boot and recovery images using dd.
3. Ran makevender.sh using lge and dory.
4. lunch'd it up.
5. Replaced the recovery.fstab with the fstab from the recovery ramdisk.
6. Ran makerecovery.sh.
7. fastboot boot'd the recovery.img
This is all off the top of my head and missing some random files you had to hack around with, of course. Hope you get it working and more progress is made because I can't get to it for another day!

I explained in the post that I thought CWM had touch built-in and have since switched over to Philz.

I wasn't trying to shoot you down just suggesting if it would be easier to iron out since its built to be touch based...that's all

Heh, don't worry, you didn't seem like you were shooting me down at all! Anyway, I tried TWRP but it wouldn't boot for some reason (it's extremely hard to debug at the bootloader level). So, I went back to CWM and got swipe control working! Here's a build of the recovery image
NOTE: To boot this do NOT flash it; you need to "fastboot boot" it. Also, don't blame me if your watch breaks, yadda, yadda.
As per the source, I'll tell you the truth, it's pretty ugly and I'm deathly afraid of git so give me a few days until I get around to uploading it.

Interesting.
I was/am working on TWRP, but my first build wouldn't boot.
EDIT: Where did you get that strap? I really like it.

Awesome! You can technically flash mods; I flashed the iOS emoji mod so now my hangout messages don't have the ugly Google ones :victory:

Same, and I gave up; TWRP's UI won't really work out too well at 280x280, IMO, and CWM swipe is already working heh. I got the watch strap from eBay. It was super cheap and easy to adjust!
Why just booting it via fastboot instead of flashing it?
and have you push your device tree to github??

This is exactly why I've rooted my watch! Well, that and the Gohma ROM.
The issue I'm having is pushing the .zip file to the sdcard. Getting an error saying it's read-only. Can't do it via adb because the second I boot into CWM my laptop forgets it's connected to anything.

It's only booting because it doesn't work when flashed to recovery. The file size is around 8 mb whereas the legitimate recovery is 23 mb, which I'm sure is an issue. Is it possible that I'm only creating a ramdisk that gets paired with the watch's kernel and I need to make an image with both of them? Sorry, this whole uBoot stuff confuses me a bit.

Heh, I'm not actually afraid of git, I guess, I'm afraid of the whole "making a device-specific git repo that can be easily pulled while building CM." I guess I just don't have the time atm to set it up properly, but dw, I'll get to it this weekend! :fingers-crossed:

Well, the iOS mod is something I downloaded awhile ago for my N5. I'm afraid I don't have the link anymore. Sorry, man.

Try pushing the zip to the sd card while it's normally booted and then restart. I think that's what I did, IIRC.

Getting:
Code:
C:\fastboot>adb push emoji.zip \sdcard
failed to copy 'emoji.zip' to '\sdcard': Read-only file system
This was just done while the watch is booted normally and plugged in via USB. It almost seems as though the root permission hasn't worked. I'm at a loss.

Weird... I don't even think you need root to push to /sdcard/ but I could be wrong. I'd suggest trying /sdcard/emoji.zip so it knows where to resolve. Also, I don't use Windows, but does the backslash work on adb as a file separator?
what happened to development on this?
[SOLVED]
Turns out CMW 6.0.4.7 will not flash to this device - solution was to use the app "Flashify" from the play store which simply and easily installed TWRP
Thanks joshm.1219!
[SOLVED]
I am at a complete loss for a fix. Short story is: I wasn't receiving any MMS, so I finally decided to ODIN back to stock and used this method so I could keep my data. Here's what happened next:
- ODIN passed but I couldn't get past the Verizon logo
- Tried several suggested fixes but the last resort one worked; I wiped data & factory reset (thus defeating the purpose of the no-wipe ODIN... w/e)
- Everything loads fine, TouchWiz works but I get a Factory Mode popup and can't lock my screen. (still can't lock my phone even now but will use this method if I think I'm stuck with TouchWiz)
- I use this method to unlock bootloader and root - root confirmed.
- Try to install CWM recovery or TWRP (btw, where the hell did GooManager go and why is it so hard to find now) and they say successful but I simply can't boot into them, just keep getting the factory recovery screen which won't let me flash any roms or any non-signed .zips
- MMS Still doesn't work!
- I call VZW in desperation and somehow they magically reset my account services and MMS works again! (I probably could have done this in the first place and not lost my ROM/Data and sanity if I'd known)
I have looked high and low for a solution but have found none. I also have been unable to find a REGULAR stock MDK file to flash on this phone - I can only find the NO-WIPE version which doesn't even allow you to keep your data. I'm confused and frustrated and would love some active help, I just can't find the right threads/posts/ect.
Thank you kindly for any advice.. I love my S4 and have been using PA, PAC, CM and other ROMS since the day I got it - I need that back! TouchWiz is just... I just don't like it.
Try this one.

Thanks for the original stock.. sadly I am still ending up with the Android System Recovery and despite installing CWM Recovery, I just can't get to it. I also still get the ridiculous Factory Mode popup.
Any ideas? I'm so sad :'(
From off it's either home+volume down+power or home+volume up+power. One boots into stock recovery the other will boot into CWM.
Hold all three until you see some small blue text in the upper left of the screen.

Thanks for the effort but I'm well aware of that. As I said in the OP, I've been using custom ROMs on this since day one - the issue is that I cannot boot into CMW Recover, despite having a successful install via the app.
Dumb question, which app are you using? I use RomManager to install CWM (up to 6.0.4.7) and I have a flashable zip of 6.0.5.0.

I'm using ROM Manager but it won't work. I'd love to try ODIN flashing the CWM Recovery if you have the file for my MDK build.
I may have it on my PC at home. When I get there (60-90 min) I'll look. If I do I'll post up to Dropbox and give you a link.
Ok, I've searched my HDD and I don't have the CWM file. What I do have is the MDK all-in-one root+recovery tool for the I545. I can put it up and upload it if the file isn't too large but I don't know if that'll help you.
CWM 6.0.5.0 flashable zip is in the CM11 thread but I don't know if the recovery image in the file is good for you, either
Just use Flashify to get TWRP

I was about to complain about your assumption that I knew what that was.. then I found it on the play store and it actually worked! Thank you so much - now here's to hoping I can find a nice stable 4.4.4 ROM to put back on here!
I'm still at a loss for why ROM Manager was unable to flash CWMR but I guess I don't _need_ to know, I am so happy this is a big step after 3 days of touchwiz hell!

This thread might be dead, but rather than starting a new one for what is probably a stupid question, I'll ask it here and see what happens. I've been having major trouble flashing any 5.0 rom on my MDK VZW S4....Seems like every ROM fails when flashing. I have a feeling my issue is an outdated version of TWRP (2.5.0.2), but I am very hesitant to update because it seems like everyone has been having issues with 2.8.1.0. With this being said, are you guys currently running the most current version of TWRP and would you mind advising which .img file worked via Flashify? Not sure whether to use the jfltexxx or jfltevzw...or if it even matters.
I'm sure I've left out pertinent information, but let me know what I'm missing and I'll update accordingly.
I've been using the latest version of TWRP 2.8.1.0 and running Euroskank Lollerpop with zero issues. Coincidentally, TWRP just got updated today to 2.8.3.0 which i have yet to flash but will do so shortly. I would recommend JFLTEVZW based on my usage. Not sure if the other variant works or not but it appears you have a verizon device so stick with JFLTEVZW.

Thank you very much for getting back to me. When you flashed 2.8.3.0, was it a .zip file from recovery or a .IMG through flashify or another app? Thanks again for your help!
