This Recovery flashes KitKat Roms Perfectly.
But Before Flashing There a few Steps/Cautions To be taken:
1.After downloading the rom replace the update binary in
\META-INF\com\google\android with the one I am providing.
2.Open updater script in exact same location as above and search for line that starts with 'assert', and delete those lines from updater script.
Doing the above steps is necessary or the recovery wont flash KitKat Roms.
Above Procedure is only for KK roms. JB roms do not reqiure this or any other procedure other than flashing
After Doing Above Procedure I myself flashed and checked CM,PAC & AOSB. They flashed perfectly and worked flawlessly.

On personal experience, I would say cm v0.17 is the most stable kitkat rom for canvas 4.
Can be flashed via SP Tools too!! :good:

Can you please elaborate the installation of the updater script I mean the path file . [emoji3]
and the touch isnt working help pls
Hi,
I own a Canvas 4 (A210).
I downloaded Philz recovery from the link http://d-h.st/dw3.
But instead of downloading from the DOWNLOAD NOW BUTTON, i did it from the DOWNLOAD BUTTON.
The file size was only 206 KB. I didn't observe this and this was my mistake.
i flashed the same through Mobile Uncle Tool and after flashing the screen started flickering, and got struck in the logo screen.
i rebooted the same, but no change.
I flashed custom Rom through SP tools and booted, but the touch screen was flipped and the touch Erratic. and was unable to go ahead the setup screen.
I tried flashing the Recovery from the link you have posted and was successful, but the main problem remained.
I tried flashing different ROM's , but the touch screen problem remained.
The handset was sent to service center and they said that the touch screen needs to be replaced and would cost 3000 + 1 month warranty.
I am now on stock ROM with setup screen.
I read at the link posted below that there is a manual mode available to set the resolution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748169.
Is is possible for me to do it ( i am no software engineer)
Or my only option is get the screen replaced.
Please help me out
superna
thanks

2. Download lewa recovery from https://www.mediafire.com/?3j3la130jydk4s9
3. Flash the recovery then with flashify app.
4. Then download the rom from http://bbs.lewaos.com/down_detail.php?id=94
5. copy the rom to sd card
6. boot into recovery and flash the rom.
7. Bingo! you have flashed the first ever custom rom for your nokia x now.:good:

you dont have to select twrp or cwm you just have to:-
1. go to flashify app
2. click on flash header then click on recovery option
3. then there would be three options (choose file ,cwm ,twrp) click on choose a file.
4. then select lewa_recovery_nokia_x.img from your sd card.
5. enjoy the lewa recovery.

Running good on my Find7a. Thanks!
@Phil3759
I installed this recovery and was working fine on my find7a. But when try to run the aroma installer I made it got stuck when launching the zip file.
All other custom recovery works fine with the aroma installer I made for find7a.

Yeah i can confirm that it doesn't work on Find 7 (X9076)
I installed via fastboot method and booted in CWM with any issue, but next time I wanted to boot into CWM it booted to stock recovery :/ The same for Flashify app method. Any suggestions? I am rooted and with Find 7a, still on ColorOS.
Thanks
Phil3759,
Just installed version 6.48.4 for tests (I used TWRP 2.7.1.0 before) using Tantrums's Recovery flasher v2 (in which I renamed and inserted your new recovery replacinf the 6.42.2) because I simply like your recovery
That said, my first tests are not really good as backup is deadly slow and crashed before the end. For the record, TWRP backup is quite quick (it is having some bugs either such as a magnificent "0 MB has been saved") but it is working OK anyways and custom restore can be done using Titanium Backup.
I attached the recovery log file. As usual, feel free to let me know if I can provide more information.
Sadly I have to go back to TWRP 2.7.1.0 :crying:

maybe try to set backup format to CWM, not TWRP mode
Also, are you sure you have enough space ?

Good news, CWM mode is working fine. Still really really slow but 100% functional.
Funny though, you have the same 0.00MB saved issue as TWRP (see attached logs).
I'll do further tests tomorrow.
Phil3759,
I finally found where my issues were coming from. I used Find7 recovery instead of Find7a one. I was simply attracted by higher build number
Fortunately, it did no brick my phone

will it work for x9076
rayQ111,
It is supposed to work with x9076 but I installed it on a x9006 hence my slowness issues.
Do we have to stay with 6.42.2 or can we update to 6.48.4 ? Or is it unnecessary ?
@Phil3759
i made backup on my oppo 7a and while trying to restore the backup now, it gave me all the time the error messgae "No files found"
How can i solve this issue?
Even tried to copy the backup to internal memory but same issue....backup isn't possible
edit: solved is working!
Does aromafm.zip load correctly?

no you have to install cwm separately (Q:do you even know what cwm is?)
a rom comes with its own kernal, it could be stock or modded one, depending on the rom you are installing

I guess you are a newbie in rooting town
And here i am your friendly neighborhood spider - man
So first of all after rooting
You need to install cwm recovery on the device which will let you download or flash Roms easily
The best recovery for canvas 4 is
The one built by master awesome
Here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739053
You would find the method of flashing it in the post itself
Now once you have flashed cwm recovery all you need is a good rom
I would suggest you to wait until nero d launches his upcoming color os 2 Rom which is going to be awesome
Here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2804715
Now you have your powers and tools as well but what is the best way of flashing once you boot up in cwm
By holding the power and both volume keys while phone is switched off, then select recovery mode
Easy
1. Always backup your stock rom by cwm
2.wipe data / factory reset
3. Wipe cache partition
4. In mounts and storage select format system
5.install rom/ zip via sd card
6. Reboot and enjoy

rooting is needed to flash CWM recovery image if you are using any app like ROM manager or mobile uncle tools
but if you are flashing cwm via sp tools then it is not needed

Hi ,
I am new here.. not new to rooting ....
I used to use my Samsung galaxy grand i9082 but switched to nexus 5 last year...
Since then my grand has been sitting in my cupboard drawer. I also found this phone very slow performance so switched...
But now i am thinking of flashing a custon Rom to increase its performance and remove all the bloatware...
so i need suggestions of a stable custom ROM with good performance and all features working like dual sim ...etc..
Can you guys help me .... ?
Lollipop or Kitkat or Marshmellow expected with fast perfomance and no lagging ( I guess Marshmellow will lag too much so i can go with KK or Lollipop...)
Please suggest me ...
CM12.1
I cant even flash my recovery...( i dont know why.... its so easy for nexus 5 )
First of all i cant find any download link for CWM recovery for i9082...( .tar file which can be flashed using odin.. ihave the zip file with name CWM_6.0.5.0_Non_Touch_xenon92.zip )
As of now i have downloaded TWRP recovery i9082_TWRP_skullface.tar which is flashed successfully using odin3 v3.07.
but when i restart the device after booting into android it again shows android recovery ...
I also tried the unchecking the auto reboot in odin and removing battery after flashing and trying to boot into recovery but again no result ..everytime the samsung logo comes and again phone restarts and same goes again and again till i boot into the android.
Can anyone give me the CWM recovery...thanks in advance....
Also i have download 2 super user SU files with diffrent version.... UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25_2.zip and UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip ...can anyone confirm if the latter one ( new version ) will work.....

Try this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3073108
That is a CM 12.1 port to grand duos by pawitp. It is pretty stable and functional. Though I experienced frequent freezing with the latest build 20151115, I got it fixed by installing frost kernel ( here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2927449).
After installing frost kernel, adjust your cpu governor to lulzactive, and your i/o scheduler to sioplus (the most recommended setting for Grand duos with CM 12.1).
Though the consequences of using custom kernel with that rom is that you can no longer uses delta upgrade features of that rom, you have to download full update build and flash it as if you're to flash new rom (though without wiping cache partition and dalvik cache).
Good luck with your quest to find perfect rom for your grand duos!
Install CM12.1 (Based on Lollipop 5.1.1) by pawitp. It is stable and very fast. I'm using it currently
Flash TWRP to FOTA Partition(SONY XPERIA S).(Terminal Command Method)I will not responsible if you do something wrong to yor device
You can flash TWRP into fota partition if your kernel supports to flash it.(Ask the developer if support is available or not,To know more about Fota Partition Read here.).if yes then follow procedure.
1. You must have to root your ROM first.
2. Download TWRP.img (is the recovery file) from TWRP website.Place the downloaded twrp.img in sdcard. (Don’t place it under any folder.just copy to sdcard.if the downloaded file name is something else then rename it to twrp.img).
3. Now goto playstore and install terminal emulator app to your phone.
4. Now open terminal emulator app and type
su (and press enter key.it will ask for root permission.GRANT it) then type
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
(and press enter keyr.be careful while you writing the above commands.)
Finished.Now you have successfully flashed twrp recovery into fotapartition.Reboot your phone and when you see pink led just tap Volume UP key to enter to recovery.
Rom Flash Procedure
METHOD 2:
First extract boot.img and recovery.img from rom.zip and copy both to SD card root folder
1. Flash twrp recovery image like you flash kernel/boot.img(by flash tool or by fastboot method).
2. Enter to recovery.
Then follow the image by the numbers written in the image.Swipe to flash.
Then do the same for boot.img but choose boot. Img from SD card and boot(partition) in image 4. Swipe to flash and done.
Sir, Could you please help me.
I have CWM recovery installed on Xperia SL and is running Layers ROM Cm11 based.
But I am thinking of switching to a new rom as the earlier one was very laggy. ([ROM][XS][5.1.1][LMY48P] OneOfaKind 22/09/2015 | UberTC 4.9 | Layers | Aroma Addon)
Could you tell me what shall I do with regards to:
1. Making the build.script change to make it compatible with Xperia SL
2. Do I need a TWRP recovery ? How will it go alongwith the CWM recovery which I already have installed and running pretty well ?
Thanks !

First thing I am not sir..I am also like you...I have just shares my experience to which will help new comers in simple words.
As of your point 1 you have to make change to support on SL...
And about recovery.try to flash with cwm first if not succeed then flash twrp 2.8.4.1 or above and flash the rom.

Problem is I am not able to find support for Xperia SL
The difference between Xperia S and SL is just 1.5GHz and 1.7GHz CPU respectively.. but support for the latter is sh!t

As said by You, the difference is just in frequency, and none in hardware. So what ever applies to XS will apply to XSL.
