I haven't tried that function yet. So I can't tell really.

First post says it clearly. Check your Build number in Settings / About phone and check the first post if CWM recovery for that build number is already available. If not, follow the first post to extract stock recovery and send it to me together with your build number.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
And are you able to test it on your W8? If CWM is not correctly accepting factory reset commands we should try to get a fix for that. Sooner or later you will also run into trouble when users choose to do a reset from the settings menu. :rolleyes:

I have this version of firmware and the recovery won't boot.

I've try to flash many times but never work. I've try with abd reboot recovery (via pc and terminal emulator) but not work.. Can you help me?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
When using ADB method - are you sure you have usb debugging enabled?

If not, enable it in Settings / developer options. If you can't see developer options,

go to Settings / About phone, tap 7 times on build number. This will unlock developer options.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enricogiovamazing:
Yes, i have the debugging activated... The phone reboot correctly, load the thl logo, make a black screen for few seconds , again the thl logo(the static one), thl animated logo and boot up normally to android.

Anyone have try this recovery in this software version?

Edit: Installed GravityRom and recovery was flashed...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 其实我也不懂:
Thanks for your recovery code ,i use it compile a recovery for another mt6589 device ,but there is something wrong when i flash rom.It says install from sdcard complete,but when i enter the system,the system is not changed. Here is the last_log.thanks for your help!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
It looks like your recovery.fstab is not correct. You should check it against /proc/emmc and change accordingly.

Just guessing, though...

just an idea

just an idea but would it be wise to ad point 10 to this discription so others wont make the mistake i made since i was new to cwm mod ?

it left me without a backup, gravity mod is nice but its hard for me to put something else on it now :(

10) after booting into cwm make a backup on sd or external sd by selecting vol up/down button and pressing power button on backup/restore.

Do I need to use my own modified scatter file & recovery as in

4) Run SP Flash Tool, click on "Scatter file" button and choose "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" extracted in step 3)

5) Click on RECOVERY item and choose .img file extracted in step 3)

or the scatter file & recovery image, if its matching the build number, posted by your good self!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
Just use the one which works. If you choose one which doesn't work, nothing happens - you will just get 8038 error message which means scatter is incorrect. If you have your own scatter, try it first.

Hi,

I have successfully flashed the new cwm. I can't get into the recovery however. The power+ method does not work. So I have downloaded and installed the adb driver and when giving command 'adb.exe reboot recovery' the phone does boot, but not into recovery. It just reboots the phone.

What can I try more to get the recovery to load, any suggestions?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
Check Settings / Accessibility and turn off "Quick boot" if enabled.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
Try to take out your SD card and try without it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sean777:
Still don't work :( It looks like it wants to load the bootloader because after the 1st splash screen the screen turns black for a moment and after that it reboots again. But it only does that when holding down the power+ or though adb method. When rebooting normally it reboots in one flow.

If anymore suggestions I'm happy to hear. Otherwise I'll try on another pc later on, maybe that helps ...

CWM 6.0.3.3 for UMI X2

Dear,

I really need your help.

First of all, I would like to know why recovery is dependent on the particular Build Number of your current system? What is the difference between all those recovery images?

I want to install 6.0.3.3 on my UMI X2 with 2GB ram, mtk6589 and The Power VR SGX 544 GPU, 13MP camera, full hd display. Hardware is almost identical to THL W8+. Please help me with this. Thank you very much.

Regards,

Cavan

I've found CWM 6.0.2.8 which works on UMI X2, maybe it will be helpful:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
It is dependent on particular kernel. Kernel is dependent on particular uboot. This means you need recovery, that contains kernel that is compatible with uboot (little kernel). Since each build number has different uboot you also need recovery image that has kernel compatible with that uboot. Otherwise it won't work.

Extract stock recovery according to instructions in the first post. I can make cwm of it. It should work in case your device has the same hardware key layout as w8.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
Do you know if this binding of uboot and kernel applies to more MT6589 devices other than W8? Because that doesn't happen with ZTE V987.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
I suppose that's because on zte there's only one build number or if there's more they might share identical uboot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
Yeah, they might share the same uboot. Lucky me as it is painful to keep up with all those different build number.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
I've found that out later. When new batches of device started to sell and new people came complaining that my very first recovery I've done for build number that came with my phone didn't work for them.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
By the way, have you tried that factory reset from the OS that we've discussed some time ago? Can you check if you get a recovery bootloop?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
I'll try and let you know.

CMW for UMI X2

Thanks for wanting to help me. I'll post it as soon as I can.

One more question about hardware key layout. W8 has one physical button in front panel. UMI x2 hasn't any physical button's in front panel of device. Next thing is that the touch sensors are located differently. 'back' sensor is on the left side, 'menu' on the right side. Volume and power buttons are on the right side of device. So, you think it's not going to work? Or do you mean something else with 'hardware key layout'?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
[MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION]

I'm sorry if this is a noob question. The recovery itself works just fine, but when I try to use the "Wireless update" app, it doesn't work for some reason. It downloads the update.zip, but it doesn't want to update to 1.0.5. It reboots into recovery where it says:

"E:Invalid command argument

Finding update package...

E:unknown volume for path [/storage/sdcard0/adupsfota/update.zip]

E:Can't mount /storage/sdcard0/adupsfota/update.zip

Installation aborted."

I opened up root explorer and searched for the update.zip in order to locate it, and I found it in root/mnt/SDCARD. I tried to move it to /storage/sdcard0/adupsfota/update.zip, made sure it had the same permisions as all the other files, and then boot into recovery.

If I select Install zip from sdcard and the Apply /sdcard/update.zip it says:

"Installing update...

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "ThL" || assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "ThL"

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Not sure, but I think AT&T might not let you use dialup for data calls (called "CSD"). Are you able to surf the Internet on your SX56 via dial-up?
[General Topics] pdhenry:
Just checked - my cell carrier is T-Mobile and the ISP I dialed into is myFreeI.

Worked fine for me both for surfing and Inbox email. T-Mobile permits CSD data connections and tells you how to set up a CSD connection in the user manual. Again, AT&T may not support doing this.

The number I am dialing to is a valid number. I use Earthlink for my POP3/SMTP.

Hi Henry:

Yes I am using AT&T. Thanks for the link to the thread on this discussion. After reading it, I am now convinced AT&T has blocked this service. There is an argument to be made for sharing the same bandwith with data as well as voice. However, then we the consumers are left with the GPRS stick and exhorbitant pricing!

I am hoping someone will come up with cooking the ATT ROM which will allow ISP direct dial up from cell phones using WM2003 Connections and still maintaining ATT cell phone services.

The thing I want to do is install CWM and have the ability after to flash ROMS. As I read I must first unlock the bootloader and then flash CWM correct?

I have HTC Sync, Android SDK, Java. I know that the phone is recognised in windows when working and in fastboot cause it always finds it with either "adb devices" or "fastboot devices". What am I doing wrong?

I tried Easy Ace Root Tool but still the same happens. Some more info if this helps. In the HTCDev steps it says that I should update with the RUU. When I try that (tried them all) I get this: ERROR [191] ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED
