I've made this simple and small tool seeing some people have bricked their devices BUT are able to access TWRP.
For some reasons they don't use the usb_otg, might it be they don't have the otg cable or something other, doesn't matter.
Maybe they aren't familiar with command prompt(command line), adb etc.
Q) What does this tool do ?
A) It let's you choose the desired rom, then checks if the device is connected and finally pushes the rom.zip to your internal storage.
Q) What does this tool NOT do ?
A) It doesn't install the rom.
You may add comments, questions, requests or graphic_design_help since my gui sucks badly.
Some prerequisites have to be met, adb driver should be installed. If you have ever rooted successfully that should be covered then

Thx for comment m8 . It's a 1 hour project so it can only be expanded with more features (should come handy for new users i hope). I've already seen what I can improve..(well..like I said..1 hour project )
Though I don't have this device, i must say you have made life simple for many. Thank you bender.

Hmm. Depends on which version you had installed. I think TWRP supports OTG since 2.6.3.x (not sure which version)
Hmmm maybe... I had twrp 2.6.3 and as I was worried about the device I didn't know what am I doing. I downloaded all the rooms requiring latest twrp and those didn't flash... Then I thought about adb sideload which I had totally forgotten... Then I first updated recovery via sideload then flashed paranoid Android xD

Either a running android system with enabled usb debugging
or
just enter twrp recovery(you don't need to select adb sideload), just connect it while in twrp.

May be an option to dump baseband to sdcard can be added along with a way to backup efs partitions. That would prove gr8 for restoring jb from kk or flashing kk after jb @bender_007. Just a suggestion

Here it is guys, Stock CWM Recovery for the ACER A100.
Before anything make sure you have the latest ICS leak C/O Vache, Root, and Unlocked Bootloader.
Official ICS Leak c/o Vache:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510706
Root Instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531646
Unlock your bootloader for fastboot, follow here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557445
once you have done all of the above, you should be ready to flash this recovery. Make sure you have ADB up and working properly. And place the recovery.img in your working folder (see below)
1- Open a command prompt in your working folder (usually in your platform tools, mine is C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) make sure you are administrator.
2- Connect Tablet to pc and get excited.
3- Type: adb devices (verify your Tab is connected and listed)
4- Type: adb reboot bootloader
5- Once bootloader is in fastboot type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You will see writing recovery, flashing recovery, etc.
6- Once flashed Type: fastboot reboot
7- Profit
This recovery has been tested by myself, and is the first in a series of goodies coming please be patient, dont ask for ETA's as the DEV's are EXTREMELY hard at work and don't even have this device themselves. Big THANKS to all of them!
Now keep in mind most mistakes are made in the location of where you opened the command prompt, just be sure the recovery.img is in the folder you are working in with the command prompt. If it isn't, well, it wont flash anything.

That must be why. The previous recovery made backup sizes of approx. 1.1Gb; This makes backups of well over 2Gb (Bar didn't even reach half way as yet when it hit the 2Gb mark ).
Working great.
Just in case anyone is wondering, flashed fine running flex-100-reaper and crossix SD swap mod.

yes i forgot to add. if you are on flexreaper it will work..as you should already have root and unlocked bootloader to get there :-D thanks for verifying though!
i don't want anyone to think they need to reflash the leak and root and unlock again to do this. as long as your on the ics bootloaders and unlocked then your good...no matter what rom you have loaded.

I was going to say my backup was the right size on Flexrom A100, but it would make sense because I use the Micro SD card swap mod. So my /data/media is empty while in CWM.

I want to flash a custom rom on my Note 2 from bell mobility.
I'm following steps from wiki called How To Install CyanogenMod Android for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte")
When I type heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --no-reboot, it gives me a message "heimdall is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
What am I doing wrong?
First of all what is your model number? Are you rooted? Custom recovery?

Click to expand...

I'm not rooted. I'm following the steps in "Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy Note 2 LTE"
Samsung devices come with a unique boot mode called Download Mode which is very similar to Fastboot Mode on some devices with unlocked bootloaders. Heimdall is a cross-platform, open source tool for interfacing with Download Mode on Samsung devices. The preferred method of installing a custom recovery is through this boot mode. Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary.

Model number is SGH-i317M. M simply means Bell Mobility, they always add "M" at the end. Otherwise it's the same, no difference.

Thank you but this one is using odin I think. I heard that Heimdall is better. If you go to the cyanogenmod website and select Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte"), then you can click "How To Install CyanogenMod Android for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte")" and it has the instuctions. This is the part I'm having a problem with. This is the guide they provide for the cyanogenmod, so it's kind of "official" and that's why I want to use it. Also when I'm stuck at something I want to figure it out instead of jumping from one thing to another. I don't understand why it's not working I'm following all the instructions. I'm wondering if anyone used the method I'm trying to use.
Have you installed Heimdall on your mac computer? You have to install it on your computer, NOT on your phone..
Then you place your phone in download mode, and run the heimdall command from your Mac..
AND, if instruction on XDA appear "too sophisticated" for you, then you are NOT ready to root your phone, trust me on this one..
But hey, its your phone, so go crazy....

Hahaha:good: It's just a matter of following steps. And from reading the guide I don't need to root my phone. I like when everything is complete and clear. After so many years I though it would become simpler to install a rom, not more complicated.
I have a PC, not a Mac. But how do I install it on my computer? It doesn't say neither how nor that I need to in the instructions.

They look sophisticated, but I can still do them. I flashed roms with odin on my galaxy s 2. However I already started with something so that's how I want to finish it. Also the creator of the rom provides instructions how to install his rom so that's why I want to do it that way.
Heimdall is for mac's not pc's, so if you want to install ANY custom rom on your phone, you need to be able to use Odin
and, you MUST root your phone to install Cyanogen mod or any custom rom, period, no matter what you might have read..

I've edited the app description to clarify this. I thought I had made it clear on the xda post and at the top of the app description for giving credit to bliss. The bootloader is still very much locked, but we have this working exploit thanks to loki. What I did was just build loki into cwm, so instead of the rom dev or kernel dev having to run the loki patch on their pc, now everytime someone flashes a zip or uses adb sideload their boot and recovery partitions are checked and lokified if needed. This just automates the loki process slightly. Freegee also makes it a little easier to flash these modified recoveries and disable the wallpaper (lge security) if someone wants to stay on a stock rom but just debloat it.
So please do not misunderstand, I just re-implemented loki. Please edit he thread title to indicate it was loki.

I've edited the app description to clarify this. I thought I had made it clear on the xda post and at the top of the app description for giving credit to bliss. The bootloader is still very much locked, but we have this working exploit thanks to loki. What I did was just build loki into cwm, so instead of the rom dev or kernel dev having to run the loki patch on their pc, now everytime someone flashes a zip or uses adb sideload their boot and recovery partitions are checked and lokified if needed. This just automates the loki process slightly. Freegee also makes it a little easier to flash these modified recoveries and disable the wallpaper (lge security) if someone wants to stay on a stock rom but just debloat it.

So does this mean devs can build roms without Loki patch and the recovery will do it for them?

i guess i dont understand? you guys could have had roms ages ago with 2nd init recovery. you could have had true cm ports with loki recovery. nothing has changed, there is two ways a device has development on it, either teh people who have it step forward or they find a dev who is interested.

Shabby is right. We could have had roms from the get go but no one either knows or wants to build. I was in the process of learning but LIFE showed up at my door and I had to take care of that first. Now that I'm single and living alone, I could get back to being a creep that lives in a basement(literally in a basement apartment), and try to learn how to build Roms.
Shabby I have a question: Is building Roms pretty much the same for all phones? Generally speaking that is. Because I will no longer have this phone much longer.
Please Help

i hate to break it to you but the device isnt unlocked etc. the app says right in the description.
that would imply all freegee is doing is flashing a loki'd kernel/recovery. still able to do whatever you want thanks to loki but it doesnt mean the bootloader is blown open like you are thinking .

I'm sincerely sorry, I this doesn't belong here, I'm just desperate for help. I used the goomanager for the AT&T Galaxy S4 and now when I try to power on my phone it goes straight to download mode, and says could not boot normal. Can you help me please? My email is [email protected]

yes, for the most part building is building. get your build machine set up, sync a repo, edit some manifests and makefiles, configure, compile! obviously there are device specific things when you are trying to debug but the process is basically the same for any cm based rom once teamlgog has the cm bugs worked out for camera, by, etc. once our cm is pretty stable I'll start putting together some roms if someone else doesn't beat me to the punch.
if you want to put together custom roms based on stock there are a bunch of guides in various places across xda on deodexing and using the kitchen, etc to modify resources and add/remove apps and features. and if you want to play around with custom kernels, there's a thread in here to get you started. good luck!
This rooting technique Finally worked you will need three files
1) SDK TOOLS from
2) recovery.img from
3)MRKREHANROOT from
you should have unlock boot loaders USB drivers installed and should be on android 4.3
copy mrkrehanrehanroot3.1.zip in sdcard
be in fastboot mode ie switch off your device and hold both volume up and down and power button together and keep your device connected to PC
Extract the sdktools and place the revovery.img in that folder
then with one finger on shift key right click in an empty space in the folder and select open command window here
then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will flash recovery to your device
in recovery no need wipe anything install the zip mrkrehanroot3.1.zip
and reboot
download any app that requires root access and check for example root explorer
it should ask root acess
in this way you have rooted your device
Keep the thanks rolling and follow me on
Is that real android 4.3?

I use that method, cannot restore any app with TB or install Busybox, for some reason it's root but not completely.
This thread shouldn't be in dev section, and there were bunch of root method threads/posts that could be easily found.

Read description:
Titanium Backup is an example of such an app. It may incorrectly detect the path to your internal storage for backups, and thus crash on backup/restore. You can fix this by going into preferences and selecting a folder under /storage/emulated/legacy as backup/restore path, not under /storage/emulated/0.

OK bro if you say I did thank to u but if u had it you should have shared it first and should have had a guide of it and u should have shared I did it because I spent my whole night flashing recovery and finding proper ways to root it finally did it when I found the file so I flashed the recovery the mini SDK tool they are mine but I did not know who to thank for the root so I just mirrored it but I put up a guide here so its not my fault I am sorry that I hurt the sentiments

dude relaxy, if you get worked up everytime someone says that there is another way of doing what you are saying you wont get very far cuz honestly there are always multiple ways to stuff... however i do agree with you chainfire clearly said on g+ that the root method is specifically for the s4 leak.. anyway its upto the users they can either use your method or chainfires.. i will try your method once i flash 4.3 :good:
