Root ClockWorkMod

[salvy512]

Currently talking to someone who is trying to help us create a CWM for our phone and he says that this is his first build


-SPECIAL THANKS TO utkanos at rootzwiki who built this, and to the CWM team for there hard work on recovery .


I am NOT responsible for what happens to your phone, I am not sure what this can do to your phone, I did not test this on my phone so i cannot confirm ANYTHING about it.

You must be rooted to try this

Recovery Test1 Link:
Pulled until further notice.

This may help you, this may not
Flashing instructions:

When I have it working I will post the recovery and the instructions again, pulled until I can get it working.





This did not work for me, I did trywith these instructions but my phone does not recognize the flash_image command and that must be because we don't have one lol. Im not sure how else to do it though

What is the command to pull the stock recovery, in case this does not go well?

You can check this thread - http://androidforums.com/elite-all-things-root/551775-well-lets-get-ball-rolling-11.html - to see the commands I used to pull the img files.

Flash_Image does not come on a stock rom and must be installed. Download the zip from this top of this link

Flash image - CyanogenMod Wiki

Extract the zip and place this flash_image file on your sdcard.

Use a root file manager to copy it to the system > bin folder

Open terminal and run the following 2 command

SU

mount -o rw,remount /system /system

chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

Reboot to remount system as ro and you should now have working flash_image

flash_image recovery /sdcard/build1.img

#

So looks like flash_image went in ok but is having an issues either seeing the sdcard or recovery file or is having an issues detecting the recovery partition

Let me see what I can find. I wonder since this phone is emmc it may not work

Edit.. Looks like from looking at other phones that flash_image doesn't work on phones setup with mmc. It works on phone with yaffs like the optimus V.. We're gonna have to have another method.. If I'm wrong someone correct me please

Has anyone tried the flash_image gui.apk from xda?

we probably could run a dd command to the block listed here. We also would need to have busybox installed. By the way this list was pulled from the. Tot file.

Sorry about the formating. Mobiles phones don't play well with full Site forum posting.

I showed the guy this :

So, who is brave enough to try this?

adb push build1.img /data/local/tmp/build1.img
adb shell
su
mount -orw,remount /dev/block/system /system
mount -orw,remount /dev/block/data /data
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p14.backup bs=4096
dd if=/data/local/tmp/build1.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 bs=4096

For those with more experience, do I have anything wrong here?

Should I just give it a shot?

Why data local tmp? Instead of .backup maybe .img? Otherwise looks good to me as you will be backing up the block.

1. No reason really, I suppose I could just push it to the sdcard or other locations. After some searching i just found that this way worked for others, so I wasn't going to stray...

2. .img would be fine too.

Thanks.

Oh no!

Does this get your recovery back?

dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p14.backup of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 bs=4096

I tried to reboot to recovery with quickboot and now im stuck in bootloop lmao, shoot =/ cant connect via adb because phone wont boot up enough

Wait, you did say "It only boot loops if I try to boot recovery," right?

 

[salvy512]

yea, but i think the quickboot tells it to do recovery everytime it boots up

 

[ktb83]

yea, but i think the quickboot tells it to do recovery everytime it boots up

Maybe you could try removing the battery? (I don't know)

 

[salvy512]

Lol, yea I thought so too, but it didnt work =/

 

[ktb83]

Lol, yea I thought so too, but it didnt work =/

Hmmm.. I'm tempted to try it anyway, without quickboot, but it's probably not a good idea.

Are you able to boot into Download mode?

Where did you buy your phone? Best Buy? Insured possibly?
