Root CWM beta WORKING!

[junkie2100]

tested and said to be working

you will need to be rooted

download the file and name it recovery.img and put it on the root of the sd, no folders just right on the card, so its in this location /sdcard/recovery.img

and use either adb or terminal emulator
if using adb youll need to do the

adb shell

command first, if terminal emulator you can just do the following commands without that part

su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

reboot recovery

new mirror, on a phone youll probably need to open it in chrome, stock browser opens it as text for whatever reason

thanks to shabby, stevestone, everyone who got the necessary files, and everyone who bugged the hell out of zte to get the source

also, in theory it should work for the supreme but i make no promises... someone should test that out and make sure

and always remember. if it breaks your phone, a "sorry, that sucks" is all the compensation youre getting lol. use at your own risk

Close but no cigar. Doesn't boot.

 

[junkie2100]

alright thank you, ill take a look and try to figure out whats wrong with it when i get the chance

 

[stevestone]

Hello,

I flashed it.. ... Blank screen with charging led on.... I show in qhsusb_dload mode when attached on pc. Though driver not found..

 

[junkie2100]

new copy. adjusted a few key things, should be good now

same link in the op just updated file

 

[stevestone]

Black screen.. I tried updated one..

 

[junkie2100]

hmm... k ill work on it. might be the prebuilt kernel honestly and i dont have the source for that particular model. its more recent source than the elden and older than the nex so i cant make any guarantees at rhis point. ill try to get another build out today but if that doesnt work i dunno

 

[stevestone]

I highly appreciate your work.. I totally understand that..

 

[stevestone]

Any progress...

 

[junkie2100]

sadly... no. ive been busy so i havent run a build. but yiu guys can help things along by bugging the hell out of zte and getting the proper kernel source for the device

 

[stevestone]

I will create a appeal thread.

 

[junkie2100]

that works, youll have to hit up the support people at the source release site. i think it was support.zte.cn or something like that

sorry... support.zte.com.cn

 

[stevestone]

I did created thread on vital main forum..

ages ago this was the cwm device tree i had booting and working on the quantum I had.

[junkie2100]

they seem to have upgraded quite a bit. its now using jellybean and a 3.4 kernel

and for some reason 3.4 zte kernels dont seem to play very nice. of course no zte kernel is a gem lol

 

[junkie2100]

same link, different file. test it out, let me know

 

[stevestone]

WOW. It does booted.. how did you do that. DAMMM I tried it many times. but all wasted. Thats what experience teaches... Thanks a lot....... Let me test it out.....................

how did you do that, if you dont mind sharing???? I mean? I edited boardconfig and all?? but was a fail

ITs working fine. I did a nandroid backup now.. mine external got detected maybe bcoz of swap. Adb working with mounted sdcard..

 

[junkie2100]

theres something about the kernel source that makes it work. not really sure what it is but as you can see... it works
ill post it up on my github shortly that way you can use it as a base for cm or aosp or whatever
basically its just based on the kernel zte released and the same zte nex repo i got from cooldudezach originally that i ported to the warp 4g and the zte source

 

[stevestone]

Thank you very much.. I been trying it sleepless night. I will be trying it.. let me know git link..
thanks again..

the kernel will be up there soon, gotta wait for it to finish uploading to github

 

[stevestone]

wow.. I m looking at boardconfig file.. I did right calculation bcoz of you.. you specified in aurora i guess partition block size x 1024.. before i was calculating with 512..

I missed this part, BOARD_MKBOOTIMG_ARGS := --ramdisk_offset 0x02000000

and that krait part. I tried to specified it but prebuild zimage and it throwed error..

I even added pixel part.. LOL damm ..

I missed all ums part..

let me try to compile it, just for learning purpose.. by adding one by one line.. do it need to compile it with kernel source or all the time? as it takes to much time for single compile from source????

 

[junkie2100]

ums part is irrelevant, mounting usb storage wont work im sure

as far as compiling it im pretty sure you need to use the kernel source, i could be wrong but something kicked it into gear obviously, you are free to try it without

 

[stevestone]

rather then mouting everything works.. I am

 

[Shabbypenguin]

BOARD_RECOVERY_SWIPE := true

enjoy touch cwm

 

[junkie2100]

sure as hell beats stock recovery lol. alright well enjoy guys, run into any serious issues let me know
