Root ClockworkMod Recovery [For Motorola Triumph]

[streetpounder]

I`ve been following these threads since their conception, and have been fiddling with phone for a while. I have no experience in the dev side of things, but put forth my respect and gratitude to you trailblazers. It was sort of funny I just happen to be on ubuntu laptop this morning when I saw the news on accessing all the mounts. I will be testing the CWM build and anything else that may come along in the near term. I look forward to this newest recovery.img soon

Great news about getting CWM working.

It's even better that the phone hasn't even been out a month and we're already this far in the process. I remember my droid 2 it took over a month just to get the phone rooted!

 

[merkuralex]

Good work!

Although without a ROM, is there any point in putting the custom recovery on the phone right now?

Getting a working custom recovery IS a very important stepping stone to getting a rom.

Just wanted to add my thanks and say good job everyone. I've been working on getting a Ubuntu install working on my laptop (Dual Boot Win7), but ran into a few issues. I want to get a dev environment going so I can start making/contributing to the rom development.

Thanks!

Great jobs guys!!! And issac i never had a doubt you couldn't work your magic on the triumph! Knew it was going to take some time. And yes once you(or another dev) Get the kinks out of CWM. Then we can make a backup of the rom and atleast have SOME kind of custom stockish rom! But once we get the kernal source from motorola. I see 1.3 to 1.4ghz OC kernals in the future!!!! And for you UV guys KILLER battery life!!!! Come on MOTOROLA!

 

[melissapugs]

YIPPY SKIPPY! Great work on getting this done ladies and gents. SO excited.

 

[zailer]

Great work guys .... and great info shared from the very beginning. I have a Gsm version of this device Spice MI 410 and wondering if this recovery.img works on that or would you mind compiling one if i give the stock gingerbread recovery

 

[t3rror]

Just checking in. Thanks for all the work so far.

Hey guys, I put together a Triumph 1st ROM FAQ, so the people-in-the-know (tm) don't get bogged down answering the same things over and over. And so the forums don't get clogged by the same.

Since I'm lazy, but don't want it to get too messy, I'd like to make editing available to the helpers isaacj87 mentioned in his "Great news" clockworkmod announcement - so contact me if interested for the password stuff. (google docs allows multiple simultaneous editors, so I guess we'll see how well that works.)

foobarX,

Feel free to create a thread here with this info in the all-things-root forum and I'll sticky it for you. Might be easier for more folks to see.

Let me know if you do.

Cheers!

Alright, people. Let's get CWM working properly (or at least make sure it is working properly) and then I can move on to porting CM7 to the phone.

Here's what I'll need:

1) I need a user to run a nandroid backup (BUT DO NOT RESTORE) and upload the images (boot, data, system, etc.). I will disassemble them and make sure that nandroid is functioning correctly.

2) After I get a dump of system.img, I can dissect it and look at porting CM7 over to the Triumph. If Motorola does release the source code (either ROM or kernel), let me know so I can sift through it.

Thanks

 

[scary alien]

All,

I have stickied this thread and linked it to the new "Motorola Triumph Root Guide" thread I just created.

I hope to add a FAQ thread from foobarX and whatever else you guys need.

Cheers!

Okay so we have a mostly tested recovery thanks to tjstyle, isaacj87 (aka ikarosdev) was requesting the source to see if he could make his version work as we were able to boot to tjstyle's version which is a slightly older CWM source but all in all it appears tjstyle's is going to be what we are using for now!

a link to the post made by tjstyle's about his recovery for X6 variants: Kaskus - The Largest Indonesian Community - View Single Post - [OFFICIAL LOUNGE] CSL Mi410 aka Mia (OEM by FOXCONN)

a download link: cwm-recovery-fb0-v1.zip

the methods for putting this on the phone have already been outlined.. I put it to someone else to make the guide for all this.. may the rom dev frenzy begin!

me and danthemanohyea have both booted to this recovery, he tested further by backing up and restoring and testing a few wipes and such.

EDIT: actually just wrote up a quick guide for those unsure of how to go about getting this on the device: http://www.coderah.com/?p=368

Yes, I have tested the wiping features of the recovery as well as the backup and restore features. Everything SEEMS to be functional, but your results my vary from mine.

Great news! Thanks much for sharing. Just tested pushing the CWM recovery from tjstyle and backup worked fine!

Brief outline, gleaned from the Google Translated portion of this post:

• Download and unzip recovery file onto PC
• Power off Triumph
• Connect Triumph to PC via USB (order not important, can plug in before powering off)
• Hold Volume Down + Power
• Screen now shows "Incoming Download Mode", repeating lines of "polling, get oemsbl_mode = 1"
• PC should show new drive MOBILE (FAT partition) connected with 100 MB capacity with ~55 MB free
• Within MOBILE, find and enter \image directory (there should be about 7 files, including "recovery.img")
• Backup "recovery.img" (I renamed to recovery.old.img)
• Copy "recovery.img" from previously downloaded CWM zip file
• Power off Triumph (I pulled out battery, but perhaps a less invasive route exists)
• Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power
• Voila! CWM v4.0.0.9 should have loaded!
• Move up and down with Volume buttons, select with Power, back with Menu

Looking forward to some Gingerbread ROMs! Thanks to all the devs!

Its good to know that the GSM version of CWM is working for you all,then I think Isaacj87 can have a look at Kernel source of MI-410 (GSM VERSION), if its useful... We are also waiting for CM7 Port, I think if Isaacj87 can port CM7 to Truimph then he can try for GSM Version also....

i love you guys

Yep these are the steps, i had edited my post with a link to a guide I made but this is pretty much the same

I can't wait! Is there a place where I can learn to be a ROM maker and help? I would love to help!

Hey,
I've been working on porting CWM to the Motorola Triumph (another X6/A99/Mi-419 variant). You can see my attempts here: https://github.com/ikarosdev/android_device_motorola_triumph
Could you share your BoardConfig.mk, recovery.fstab that you used for this port: Kaskus - The Largest Indonesian Community - View Single Post - [OFFICIAL LOUNGE] CSL Mi410 aka Mia (OEM by FOXCONN)
Thanks,
Isaac

tjstyle said about 3 hours ago:


i will push the boardconfig soon, now i have little problem in my pc.
are you now on developing the FB0 variant too?

ikarosdev said 4 minutes ago:


Yes, I'm developing on this device: Android Video Chat Smart Phone - Motorola Triumph - Motorola Mobility, Inc. - Overview - Motorola Mobility, Inc. USA
I want to try and port CyanogenMod 7 to the device.

Once I get this information, I can start porting CM7 to the Triumph. I'll need a clean system.img from a nandroid backup.

What does the system.img contain? Mine probably isn't "clean", I've used the phone a lot...

 

[isaacj87]

Well, actually the system partition wouldn't be affected that much. Most of the changes would go into /data and /cache. So I think any system.img backup will do.

I'm a newbie, sorry for asking... but if it doesn't have any personal info I'll happily give it up!

No, there wouldn't be any personal info that got passed along. I forgot that when you do a factory wipe on a device, it only wipes the data and cache partitions. So I think you're good. Just as long as it's from a nandroid backup.

I have just installed CWM on my phone and just performed a backup, where can I send you the files that you need?
