Root CWM-based touch recovery

[tegezee]

Can you upload the stock recovery please? I have to send my phone in to ZTE...

Just copy the recovery file to your sd card and install it from terminal on your android. It's easier and for sure to work. I think I couldn't get abd to work either so I think it's why I just used the terminal emulator.

Hey what command did you use to flash recovery with terminal emulator

 

[sonicbluemustang]

Instructions are in the zip file.

terminal emulator

open terminal
type: su
hit enter
allow root to terminal
type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
hit enter
when prompt returns type: reboot recovery
hit enter

DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER AT ANY COST!!!
We need a sticky thread.

Assuming you have Windows, just double click the readme file and go with the choice of selecting a program on your computer, then select notepad.

Use the recovery posted by 1mouse3 and carefully follow the instructions. It works great, and this one may have issues

terminal emulator:

open terminal
type: su
hit enter
allow root to terminal
type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
hit enter
when prompt returns type: reboot recovery
hit enter

Make sure recovery.IMG is in the root of your micro SD card, this means don't put it in a folder, follow instructions to the point and you should have cwm. Also make sure that you are rooted with supersu and have terminal emulator from the play store.

 

[sonicbluemustang]

Did you extract the recovery.img file from the zip file? Then do like donjuro said.

[sonicbluemustang]

LOL the emulator is a lil easier than adb if you are not use to it. Glad you up and going.
