Credits and special thanks to Koush and everyone else involved in Cyanogenmod project!​

​

[ info ]

This is standard CWM recovery with some smart features/modifications and ability to navigate using touch screen (on-screen buttons)

i dont have this device with me so cant do testing myself... smirkis & others from this thread helped out with testing it...

[ credits / special thanks ]

Koush - for his brilliant work & coding for CWM recovery

TeamWin - for the TWRP recovery... i have used the recovery.fstab from their recovery-ramdisk...

pokey9000 - for providing the custom binaries to set bootmode

Napstar - my teammate (Team UtterChaos) for his work on implementing touch based navigation interface

sztupy - for his work on SteamMOD recovery (the core touch interface is based on his work)

jcase - for pointing out correct default.prop entires

all testers who helped with the initial test versions

[ WARNING ]

and incase this doest work correctly make sure that u can restore to factory condition...

DO NOT rapidly tap the on-screen buttons...

[ Requirements ]

fastboot capable Kindle Fire (factory cable way or rooted and bootmode enabled)

[ features ]

touch based on-screen buttons for navigation thru menus (from top to bottom):

SELECT

UP

DOWN

BACK

based on standard CWM5.0.2.7 recovery sources

revamped layout for recovery menu (to improve navigation) [renamed few options and changed their order]

changed "wipe data/factory reset" option to just "factory reset", and detailed the partitions which will be wiped

added reboot options (Kindle Fire specific)

reboot into system

reboot into recovery

reboot into fastboot mode

"Partition SDCard" is disabled for this device

add confirmation to "backup" option in Nandroid menu... it used to keep getting pressed by mistake and start making backups immediately... now it will ask u before starting backup ;)

removed tons of "NO"s from some menus...

fixed "reboot into recovery" in "advanced menu"

shows battery percentage [based on generic sysfs interface] (not sure if this works as i dont have device to test)

shows current time (time when the recovery was entered/started)

uses new Roboto FONT (from latest CWM repo)

recovery build date/time is now shown

new "select update.zip menu": it will give u a new option - "show file details" - which will display the size (in bytes) and the MD5SUM of the selected file :)

new "advanced backup menu": it will allow the user to manually select which partitions to be backed up... supported partitions (/boot (kernel), /system, /data, /cache & /sd-ext)... THESE BACKUPs WILL BE DONE TO /sdcard

added prompt to display the "backup folder name" when user starts restoring a backup

added a warning and option to abort backup if space on sdcard is < 150 MB

increased on screen log/output display to 36 rows

[ how to flash/install ]

reboot into fastboot mode and enter the command:

fastboot flash recovery filename.img

[ how to use recovery ]

use onscreen buttons to navigate in recovery menus

[ what all to test ]

flashing UPDATE.zip (test update.zip : test_emmc_update-v3.zip will copy a file "blankplaceholder" to /system, /data & /cache partitions)

backup/restore of current ROM

mounting USB storage in recovery menu

access to device via adb

fix permissions (Advanced Menu)

reboot options (check if device can reboot into system, recovery & fastboot mode)

[ how to report issues ]

while reporting issues (if any) kindly provided detailed info as to what all steps lead to that error/issue... also while in this recovery mode (before rebooting) pull the recovery log files using ADB and upload them with ur post

adb pull /cache/recovery .
