CWM recovery for Sumvision Cyclone Voyager BT

Disclaimer: The following worked for me. Any one else is trying it at there own risk.

Here are roughly edited notes on how I got ClockworkMod recovery onto Sumvison Cyclone Voyager BT (Bluetooth edition)

Hope it's helpful, it comes from bits and pieces of other folks work found on the net, to all of whom I'm grateful.

After you go through this process on all tablets you could make a NAND backup, of a tablet suitably set-up for your own requirements, to micro-SD card and flash it to all remaining tablets

Getting into Recovery Mode

From a terminal program in fully booted system

#su​

#reboot recovery​

or from Power Off

From Power OFF (NO Cables Connected)

Hold Vol+ while plugging in Power, release Vol+ when splash screen appears

How I installed CWM-based Recovery for Rockchip Sumvison Cyclone Voyager BT

Recovery image used was:

RECOVERY Image for v10_BT_recovery_fun_13-02-13.rar (Google it)

(Generic rockchip recovery image from CWM.zip did not work, but I used the flash_image utility from that archive. Again search Google for CWM recovery images for rockchip 3066)

In XP with tablet fully booted and power and USB cable plugged in (don’t know if power in required, as far as I remember adb driver is fine without power, but no harm to have it plugged in. When flashing firmware from SCV's rockchip software utilities power must be plugged in. Also if you have the choice, prefer USB2 over USB3, although unlikely to make a difference. (Note: since got adb working on Ubuntu Linux also, but that's another story :) )

1. Extracted flash_image from CWM.zip

2. Extracted recovery.img from v10_BT_recovery_fun_13-02-13.rar

3. Copied both files to /dev on tablet

adb push flash_image /dev/​

adb push recovery.img /dev/​

4. Started shell

adb shell​

5.Set flash_image utility executable

chmod 755 /dev/flash_image​

6. Flashed the recovery.img

/dev/flash_image recovery /dev/recovery.img​

Hope that helps

Thanks :D

Ah, thank you :)

This has quite possibly saved me hours of time reformatting the tablets. I take it that this can be installed relentless of the ROM that is on the tablet? I will try this as soon as the tablets arrive :)

Thanks again,

tylergard702

PS:

I don't suppose that sumvision's flash utility will flash the recovery.img to the tablet successfully? I currently don't have a linux workstation at work, and adb confuses me :S
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylergard702:
Recovery Img?

Thankyou for all of you help John,

Ignore my previous post, i dived in with adb and got quite well acquainted with it :)

The only problem i have now is that the rar file for the recovery .img you told me to Google for yields no results. Is there another place i can download it? i can't find any :S.

Or if you have a copy of it would you be able to email it to me? (I can PM you my email)

Thanks in advanced,

Flashing recovery image with RK tools

Disclaimer: things can go wrong. You are responsible for whatever you do to your tablet!

I think that the rockchip tools should flash the recovery image for you, I haven't used the Sumvision utility in a while so don't know. The rockchip tools will provide you with a Windows user interface. Make sure you only flash recovery, and leave the rest unmarked. Put the recovery image in the same directory where the tool executable resides (or it may need to be in a sub-folder named ROM). I think the app will tell what path it is looking at for images.

Download from the Sumvision support page (I'm not allowed to post links yet, but find your tablet on Sumvision and go to support page)

Look for: Download Link for RKAndroid tool "cleanup tool" REQUIRED on that page.

Good luck!

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

Okay, PM your email and I'll send you a dropbox link to the recovery image previously mentioned.

(I discovered that the CWM recovery for generic rk3066 that didn't work for me, was an incomplete download and l

ikely the reason it didn't work

for me. I haven't retried it because the v10_BT_recovery_fun_13-02-13 recovery image works fine, so just left that alone).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylergard702:
Worked a treat

Thank you very much John,

The fun_ package worked perfectly.

The generic package lead to a broken recovery, it wasn't just your download, however the specific package soon fixed that.

Can't tell you how much easier you have made my work, i can now prepare about 4 tablets in 30 minutes for the students to use, which will come in very handy when they get their hands on them and start to find ways around our security measures.

Thanks for everything,

Any chance i can have a copy of that file to flash recovery to my 10.1 BT?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylergard702:
Sumvision Cyclone Voyager 10.1 BT Recovery Image

Hey jtheg,

Of course I can :) If you PM me your email I will send you a zip containing the flash_image file, the recovery10.img file (I renamed it for batch purpose, but it works all the same). The zip also contains adb and a batch script I wrote that should do it for you. If you don't want to use the script, you can refer to the instructions above or ask for help :)

Just make sure all the drivers for your tablet are installed before you start.

I used a program called "moborobo" It detects the device and installs all the drivers for you. It installs junk on your device but you can uninstall it right after :)

I would also like to point out that although this has worked for me with 16 of these tablets, It may not work for you due to subtle differences between the tablets or human error, and I cannot accept liability for your device. I can, however, say it has worked treat for me and wish you the best of luck experimenting with your device :) As soon as I get to work in about 20~30 minutes I'll check back and email you if I can :)

I just got an unlocked galaxy note that I want to use without a data plan so I tried transplanting my AT&T flip phone sim to the note but I get a message saying "sim not allowed mm#3". So of course I can't make any calls other than emergency. Does AT&T restrict smart phones to use only sims that have data plans? Do I need to root and use cyanogen to get this to work? Does anyone if that will even work?

Thanks

Hish
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] icenight89:
U sure it's unlocked? That message usually means it isn't...

Use the free unlock available, I used it without issue on my note. You'll should be able to use ANY Sim with an unlocked phone, regardless of data or no data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hish747:
The Amazon seller advertises it as unlocked. That's all I can say for sure. Does the unlock you refer to require root? Would you happen to have a link to the unlock?

Thanks for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] icenight89:
A little searching goes a long way sir. Googling "i717 Sim unlock xda" would have got you what you needed.

You don't need root, but you do need a custom recovery. Twrp is easily installed via Odin.

Sure, you are right and normally I do search...everyone's run a stop sign at least once right?

Thanks for the help ice.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Yes, at&t won't let you use any smart phone without a data plan. They will just add it to your bill.

But this phone won't connect to the network without an updated sim card.

You don't need root access or network unlock to run an at&t sim, you just need a sim made for a smartphone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] icenight89:
I'm fairly certain you are incorrect. Its your sim card and you can put it in whatever phone you choose.

With that being said I am in Canada and on Rogers, so I can't very well confirm this. Maybe someone else can weigh in?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
If an unlocked phone uses another carrier sim you get a screen to enter unlock code.

He is using an at&t sim so its going to connect to the voice/sms network automatically in an at&t branded phone if the sim is compatible.

That old flipphone sim won't work in a smartphone. The OP either needs to upgrade the sim or call at&t and have the sim reprovisioned (if they can).

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

And when the OP calls at&t they will tell him to use that phone he will have to buy a data plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] icenight89:
Yes that's true, I'm not disagreeing with you here on the connectivity.

The later however is false. I know for a fact LTE capable smart phones are backwards compatible with "3g only Sims" aka his flipphone sim, so what you're saying is incorrect. I work with this kind of equipment on a daily basis at work.

The later is also false. All he needs to do is go to a corporate store and say he lost his old phone and sim with it, and needs a replacement. They'll provide a new one, and link it to his existing account and merely charge him a replacement fee.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I thought Canadians were polite . . . Amigo, you're just offering your opinion, but I just went through this with at&t for my sister-in-law. She had an old HTC flipphone and wanted my HTC smartphone with a great keyboard. We put her old sim in and got that error code. We went to an at&t corporate store, and they gave us a new sim and we left with a working phone. After a day of using it she got a text message saying a two gig data plan was required. When she didn't acknowledge that, they cut off the account.

The sim was free. Don't tell me I'm wrong when you don't really know what you're talking about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pklovecraft:
I can sim swap between my work phone which is a flip phone and an iPhone 3GS both are on at&t without any issues so I'm not sure what you guys are having trouble with. I believe what the OP is asking for would require spoofing an IMEI of a flip phone aka dumb phone.

There should be some info on how to do that in the at&t Galaxy Tab forums.

Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
You can use an old flip phone sim card in the Note. I have an older Cingular 3G Sim card (now at 8yrs old or maybe older) that I have been using in my last few smartphones. Including the Note. Worked perfectly fine. And because my phone was Canadian I was able to add the MediaNet unlimited data plan for only $10 a month. Been using it that way for years without an issue. I have even tested it in AT&T branded smartphones briefly and never had any issues.

Edit: Searching the web, that error may mean there is an outage in your area. If you physically look at the Sim Card what color, words, and pic is on the card? Sim could be worn out also. But in the end ATT will not let you use that plan with this phone for long before charging you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] icenight89:
The two posts following yours confirmed what I was originally saying sir, and quite frankly I do know what I'm talking about. I work ICT for a North American wide company and regularly travel to the states supporting events that require this kind of connectivity.

As for you're sister in law, she probably got that message because a background app was attempting to use data, and it wasn't disabled on the phone, thus the text. This I have also encountered.

Back on topic, I agree there may be a network outage in your area. But if all else fails a visit to the AT&T store can't hurt. Worst case scenario just sell the note on Craig list
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] decimater:
Lol here in the US we dont have kijiji, but an alternate called craigslist. I do believe using the sim unlock method plus deactivating data might work. Try using the phone in another area to confirm ices theory of an outage.

I have two phones right now next to eachother.

a GS3 with 4.0.4 rooted and a 4.1.2 rooted

I hate the new 3X4 T9 keyboard on 4.1.2 and want to use the old 4.0.4 keyboard. They changed ability to use custom words in T9 on 4.1.2 (only custom words work in swype now)

I have tried everything to move the keyboard files over and get my 4.1.2 device running the 4.0.4 keyboard to work

Please help me out

I tried moving the samsungIME.apk and samsungIME.odex from system/apps and the touchwiz.xml from ect/permissions and libxt9core.so and libdhwr.so from system/lib files and the entire T9DB folder from system/ over to their respective places from the old phone to the new via pushing them using root browser and an SD card with correct permissions.

The samsung keyboard won't even appear on the list for the new phone with these old files after restarting.

What am I doing wrong?

Is this even possible?

Hi there,

i rooted my N4 the last days and installed PSX as my primary ROM. In a german forum i read about hellscore, which should be a very good alternative kernel. AFAIK PSX uses the standard google kernel.

I am not a pro with kernel options, so I want to know how to use the kernel (I know how to flash it ;)):

Do I need special apps like busybox oder triksermod?

How do I see, if the kernel works correctly?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Just flash the kernel in recovery like you flashed the ROM...I recommend using trickster to change settings too. You'll need a JWr version of Hells, not sure if it exists.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gwanatu:
It seems that most models are missing a night mode. I can't find it anywhere on the T-Mobile one, so I assume that it's missing on here too. That would likely help quite a bit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aznmode:
Samsung removed the separate toggle for it on the note 3 and implemented it into the "auto stabilization". But that doesn't help my issue unfortunately.

I'm willing to bet you installed the ROM manager APK, which IS NOT CWM. One of the features of ROM manager is the ability to install CWM on some phones. The AT&T S4 with MF3 recovery IS NOT ONE OF THEM! If you actually attempt to install CWM on it, you will brick it (at least soft brick). You are most definitely getting into stock recovery. I suggest you put your phone down and learn about what is happening with it before you can't use it any more. There is a ton of information about this in the forums already. Even a little simple reading without searching will point you in the right direction for this information. If you continue to insist on having put CWM recovery on an MF3 phone (and it is still operational) then I suggest you post a screen shot or picture as requested.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] colbur87:
Well I booted into recovery and it must be the default one (not CWM). All the options in there got me confused plus when I flashed it said successful. I should have paid more attention to the recovery mode. I saw clear cache and figured it was CWM.

Well I have a problem with my Galaxy S. I rooted it and tried to flash a custom rom, SlimBean, but it stuck after I booted recovery mode and select zip file, it says Error mounting /system! Or Error mounting /data! I tried other roms but no one worked, every time there is something wrong. Also tried darkyrom but that one stop after reboot at the massage E:Error in /cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip (status7)

The only method worked to get the phone boot "Normal" is this one:

But after I have done that, the phone boots "normally" but every time there come messages with applications stopped unexpectedly, not just one app, no almost every one. The only thing I can do is going to my settings or the call menu etc. If I delete files or apps, they are gone until I reboot my phone, then they are all back ..

Many custom ROMs use different partitions than stock ROMs. You must read very carefully the opening posts to know which firmware should you not upgrade from.

Check my latest thread and you will find how to revive your i9000, you must flash stock firmware and PIT file which will make proper re-partition for stock ROM. All download links are working. Use Odin 1.82 or 1.83 which was the last compatible version with the i9000. "Any Odin version" is crap, wrong information.

After flashing stock ROM you can root it and install whatever you wish.
