Team Hydro presents....
Cannibal Open Touch v2.0.2 for LG Optimus M

About Cannibal Open Touch

Cannibal Open Touch is the next generation of custom recoveries. Jam-packed with cool and useful features, it can handle just about anything you can throw at it.

Main Features:
1) Support for both Edify and Amend scripting (flash all ROMS!)
2) Theme support
3) Get out of recovery boot loops
4) Touch screen button controls!
5) Compatibility with Xionia nandroid backups (if on LG Optimus device)
6) GooManager support!
7) Internal e2fsprogs for size
8) Backported “retouch binaries” patch for ICS/JB compatibility
9) Advanced Backup
10) Delete old backups!
11) Persistent settings
12) User-defined backups!

Why the name Cannibal Open Touch?
Because we can. The name also embodies everything that Cannibal Open Touch is. It is no longer
just a variant of ClockworkMod Recovery, it is it's own recovery by itself. Combining features from
ClockworkMod 5, Team UtterChaos' Sony Xperia recovery, AmonRa 3.0.6, Xionia CWMA and a
bunch of our own special enhancements it is truly revolutionary.

What to do when an error occurs:
DO NOT simply say "xxxx doesn't work" as that is very very unhelpful and will probably be ignored. Instead, post the recovery log! To grab a log when an error occurs, simply open a terminal (or command prompt if on Windows), "cd" to an easily accessible directory and execute:

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

Paste the log as an attachment (don't paste the text inside, as it can be very long).

Flashing Instructions

1) Make sure USB Debugging is ON and that you have ADB access
2) Download the Cannibal Open Touch image
3) Place the recovery image on your SD Card.
4) Fire up an ADB shell
5) Make sure you are in a root shell. If you are not, execute the "su" command now.
6) Execute "flash_image recovery /path/to/recovery.img" (replace /path/to/recovery.img with the ACTUAL path to the recovery image)
6a) If you get a "command not found" error with the above command, STOP! (), extract flash_image from the ZIP that you just downloaded (and copy it to the top level of your sd card, and follow the first three commands in the Xionia Recovery instructions. Once you have flash_image installed, do step 6 again.
7) Reboot to recovery mode
8) PROFIT!

Already have a custom recovery?

1) Download the ZIP installer from the downloads below
2) Reboot to recovery
3) Flash the ZIP installer as you would a ROM or Kernel (that is, flash it from recovery)
4) PROFIT!

Cannibal Open Touch Handbook:
Because so many things have changed since Cannibal Open Touch v1.2, we have created a handy little guide (a "handbook") to help you become accustomed to the features and menus of Cannibal Open Touch. This guide is available as a PDF document, so you must have a PDF reader installed.

By clicking any of the below links you agree that you are flashing this recovery image at your own risk. Neither myself, Team Hydro, nor anyone but yourself are responsible for any problems that may occur before, during or after flashing this recovery image. You also agree that this recovery image is to be flashed ONLY on the LG Optimus M, and not any of the other LG Optimus variants.

This is a great step forward for the Optimus M. Thank you. Have you given any thought to the Optumus M+ (LG MS695)? I still have my two OM's but my children are using them now for their alarm clocks/MP3 players, etc. My wife and I have now purchased, and are using, the OM+ for our daily phones and I'd love to have a touch recovery. We do have CWM-based Recovery 5.5.0.4 for the OM+.

Bugfix release:
Cannibal Open Touch v2.0.1 has been released. This update fixes issues with the user-defined backups feature not working, as well as a related bug affecting nandroid restores. As always, hit up the first post for the download. Don't forget to hunt for eggs!

[sblood86]

Well apparently there's another bug.... seems we fixed user assigned backup paths and broke the others, incidentally I know why but I'm still wondering how neither of us noticed again...

As a work around you will want to assign your backup paths for now by creating a file .userdefinedbackups and pointing it to wherever you want (default would be "sdcard/cotrecovery/backup" without the quotes)

[plasticarmyman]

can we flash this over using the Flash Image GUI?



just wondering...it certainly would make it easier...


EDIT: I'd like to report that Flash Image GUI does indeed work to flash this over, all you have to do is rename the image file to recovery_cannibal.img and it will flash over...i did get an error about it not being able to find the COT settings

Sure, should work fine.

[plasticarmyman]

i think i found the easter egg....if you choose "Fix Recovery Bootloop" without having a recovery bootloop it will brick your phone and you'll have to lgpnst it back to stock...



(obviously a joke...sorry if i offend by the first few words)

Rename it to recovery.img and it works fine, no errors (except the one that always shows on the M "E: bad boot recovery" )

No COT settings shows up on the first boot, a default settings file is created at that time.

No it won't....I just tried it and booted up just fine.

EDIT: Wait, Optimus S here. Maybe it's different on the M.

i just wanna know what it is...i tried several things and nothing happened... :\

[drewwalton19216801]

Just realized that v2.0.2 breaks CyanogenMod flashes, so v2.0.2_r2 is on the way!

[redrunner1985]

Would this recovery happen to work on the optimus T by any chance?

I don't have all the T information handy but it's highly unlikely that this image would work; that's not to say that something couldn't be compiled to work...

Those who want sneak peeks should look no further than the Project Open Cannibal Google+ page:

[ghost.rider]

Drew you think you can give us a hand on kernel work for optimus M to work with CM9/10 please

He has told me that synaptics is a very buggy touchscreen D:

And we'll need someone who knows a lot of C and C++ coding.
