[RECOVERY] switchers (01/29/12) 4G only - Nexus S 4G Android Development

This is something I put together for those of us that like to switch recoveries.
Classic Clockworkmod recovery
Touch Clockworkmod recovery
TWRP (RZrecovery)
Although this is tested and "safe" to do... DON'T BRICK YOUR NS4G
(we may have to remind you this phone has a one click return to stock)
INSTRUCTIONS:
(Must be Rooted, bootloader unlocked with drivers installed.)
1. On PC, download the zip file from
(1/31/12)
http://www.mediafire.com/?3v66vx2t777q56z
(1/29/12)
http://www.mediafire.com/?58x7lmaoizmt1z6
2. extract and open "Nexus S 4G Recoveries" file.
3. Plug phone into your computer
4. Click on the recovery you want to flash.
5. Follow the instructions.
6. Enjoy!
I DON'T DESERVE ANY CREDIT FOR ANY RECOVERY ITSELF!!!
All I did was make the .bat files.
I will follow this thread to answer any questions
If you would like me to make batch files for any of your favorite recoveries that I haven't included, just let me know.
(Shameless plug)
If you want to support me, download apps from LOOSID LYFE DEVELOPMENT on the google market.

Why is this easier than just flashing from one recovery to another?

I put all those lines of code in a batch file, included 3 recoveries, adb and fastboot all in one place . One click is easier than typing out all that code and may be more simple for newer or less experienced users. I hope I've answered your question.

Why not just do it in cwm recovery. A few clicks and you have a recovery back on your device.

I'm not sure how you would flash a different recovery from recovery mode as you need to do that from fastboot. If all you want is classic Clockworkmod recovery than you don't need these switchers. I've made batch files for the new touch version of CWM and RZ recovery, as well as the classic CWM recovery.

Ibleedandroid, Thank you for the file for the touch CWM. I have been wanting this since i'd first seen it in the portal a couple weeks back or maybe not even that long. All touch recoverys rock and since the twrp2.0 stopped working on my phone I was pist. It kept erroring out when backign up my boot partition. But ever other recovery works fine. Thanks for this gem man it works great. And your flashing tool I give a 5 stars too man very nice indeed.

I go back and forth between cwm and twrp and I do it from recovery not fastboot. However I've never heard of rz.

Same issue here. How do we go about flashing this onto the phone? - Im assuming this is done through ODIN (Using the "Flash" Boot Option) - or am I wrong? Also, the new Recovery is not showing up in CWM APP.

Is it possible to.. .?

Is it possible to add clockwork mod recovery on our phones w/o using Odin (directly from the phone) ? I was able to do this one the infuse 4g but I haven't seen any thing in the forums about it. Or a way to root w/o it either. I'm hardly ever home in close to my laptop so this would be a great help.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes. Use the thread sfhub inntje development section that is stickied at the top. U can flash the stock kernel with cwm without using Odin.

Trying to be helpful, so...
No, because you need to use ADB (Android debug bridge) to run the zergrush exploit locally on the phone. you cant push the files onto the phone from itself or use the exploit. The best that they have right now is mobile Odin, but thats for flashing files over partitions, not rooting or a installing a recovery..

recovery should be built into the kernel that he is going to (mobile)odin and mobile odin will inject root into the system if the option is selceted. if used severel time and i think it works great. The only thing it failed me on was the modem. Has to do that at a CPU.

Technically he could download the zergrush files to his phone and run them and root... Then download a kernel to the phone and write it with dd

By the way. 2.0 does not see the older nandroid backups to restore. It created a separate folder for new backup. Does that mean that it is not compatible with older nandroids?

Hm. Awesome then. Somehow didn't get that build in my test builds.
Phlash-made-themes would have been released had my gtab not softbricked and my evo would take any build of anything through fastboot. maybe linked to a batched unrevoked before i got the evo.
So me botching that all up, lead to no built in phlash themes with RC0
I'll get ya on the next one.
Touch screen recovery? No vol-/+ nonsense? yes please.
Thanks qbking. I was hoping someone would make a zip to flash. My adb is fubar so I have been sitting on the sidelines..just flashed it and its there. Now I will try flashing something and making a backup

It is live and supported. Touch recovery will not happen from koush. He will not support mdpi devices, but I know someone else that will. And that will be coming shortly

ive noticed when i try to reboot with adb it will reboot into recovery. If i wanted that I would of typed adb reboot recovery this a feature or a bug. Also when I turn on USB Mass Storage, it will corrupt what i send over, leading me back to adb. I basically use adb for everything but selecting the zip on recovery, no matter how good. Great work on it Jmz, its a pretty solid recovery, touch buttons work, and the kernel inside is also a great aosp kernel. Actually starts off overclocked, if im correct.

Not much experience, so should I do this via usb and computer or terminal emulator. TE says adb command not found

Sent from my SGH-T989D using xda premium
Ugh, don't listen to any of these guys. Anyone with issues on either recovery simply don't know how to use them. Best advice I can give you is to NOT USE THE DARKSIDE CACHE OR SUPERWIPE with CWM 6.0.x.x.
They break your CWM installation. Other than that I feel the same way you do. TWRP is great but I'm just used to CWM and prefer it. It's been on all 6 android devices I've owned and I trust it. Hard to break old habits!
Also, use the steps in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926754 to flash your ROMs. Should be smooth sailing. Either I'm lucky and my phone is perfect or my flashing method is key but I never have any issues with any ROMs that aren't already established by the original ROM developer.

Funny thing is when the Evo came out we all used AmonRA and that was the recovery to have and I must admit it neva eva eva eva caused me a problem. Clockwork was the bad stepchild over there so I stayed away from it. So to me old habits are not to use CWM not saying its bad but I had it on my Xoom and my Epic touch but now they both rock TWRP and itz the shiznicks..... To each his own
