Can I port your Carliv CWM*T Recovery

Can I port your Carliv CWM*T Recovery v1.0? If its okay with you [MENTION=5186178]carliv[/MENTION]. I already managed porting it using your Carliv CWM*T Recovery v1.0 of P780 and change res to fit with my screen, the only problem is that sdcard0 is not mounted that's why it doesn't show up in the Install Zip section and Advance Menu is not working. Overall it's working.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ygorigor:
When I try to mount as USB Mass Storage it mount only sdcard0, sdcard1 show this error:

E:Volume /storage/sdcard1 is not shared - state=1

Can anyone help me with this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Sure, go ahead. For sdcard0 issue you need to check your fstab - keep in mind that in my new recovery I'm using fstab version 1 (like in old cwm).

If that is the internal emulated sdcard, then that's normal for this version of recovery. It will share for USB mass storage only the external sdcard (kitkat security issue).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kyzrael:
Thanks for letting me :). Yes I notice that you used a fstab with different format. Can you give me a hint to where should I look the path of my sdcard0 because its an emulated one. I believe I do correct set up to the init.rc for the emulated and physical one as indicated to your porting guide. :)

Hello sir carliv

I have a question you can create am ctr for the doogee valencia y 100 pro is an 64 bit mt 6735m with resulution on 720*1280 android 5.1

Ps sorry for my very bad english
[Miscellaneous Android Development] freibergisch:
Hi,

I successfully ported this recovery to my ODYS Neo 6 device (6inch, 960x540px, MT6735) and was able to root my phone.

But, after about 10s of doing nothing in recovery mode, the phone reboots to recovery.

So, I am able to root or making backup (not fully, unfortunately, because after a while, it reboots again), but nothing more..

When the phone seems to be in idle mode (is doing nothing), the phone keeps rebooting after some seconds..

Is this happend to someone of you?

Also touch does not work.. Only hardkeys are working. But with them, I can not go back, because of the lack of a back button.. So I have to wait for the next reboot.

Maybe a logfile can help me, but I opend the log files in /cache/recovery and did not see some useful things..

Let me know, please, what I did wrong. Root works, ok, but reboots are not acceptable.

Other question: How can I change the mountpoint from /sdcard0 (internal one) to external sdcard?

My internal sdcard in recovery is mounted to /data/media (I guess), because there is a folder "0" within not more than a clockworkmod folder. There is something wrong with my mounts, but I could not change this until now. I must have missed something in fstab or init.rc?

Best Regards

Marcus
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Ok, about sdcards you need to give us a link to your device folder github or where you have it. To see how I did set up a device folder for a phone like this check my github for elephone p6000. You can see there in init.mt6752.rc file how the sdcards are exported:

Usually sdcard0 is the internal one and sdcard1 the external. Swap here and check the other commands below. In fstab if your internal sdcard is emulated (data/media) don't define it at all, just the external sdcard if you have one.

If the touch doesn't work then you need a new kernel, one with touch enabled in recovery. Check the threads for elephone p6000 because they had same problem at start then they solved it.

About restarts I can't tell you much without any other data. It never happened to any of the phones I ever had or tested but there were few reports about this thing in some phones. No one gives more info though and since I couldn't reproduce the error it is at your end to solve it.

Cheers,
[Miscellaneous Android Development] freibergisch:
Thank you :)

I setted the export path for internal sd to /data/media/0 (not /storage/sdcard0) and this seems to be the well working way.

Now I can use internal and external storage correctly.

So, ... the reboot issue and the touch screen are now my first priority..

Thank you, really good point! :)

I will keep you in touch with my problems, if I cannot eliminate them.. Now my recovery is more ready to use :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kirito9:
[MENTION=5186178]carliv[/MENTION] I'm back again and going to port your recovery (even though it's discontinued) to a newer MT6735M chipset. I noticed recoveries were ported for MT6732 and your guide said MT6732.

My question is, is the chipset MT6732 similar to that or MT6735 and can I just replace the kernel from the MT6735 to the CTR of MT6732. Thanks in advanced.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Probably will work but there are some things in ramdisk that have to be edited too (fstabs, default prop, etc).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AlexZap:
I believe that the 6732 will use the mediatek headers, where the 6735 will use the android headers. Remember this when you extract/rebuild.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kirito9:
[MENTION=5726442]AlexZap[/MENTION] [MENTION=5186178]carliv[/MENTION] Thanks, I will give it a try and let you know if it works. :fingers-crossed:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shreps:

And because of this, I ported TWRP 2.8.6.0 on the Acer Liquid Z530/630 with MT6735 SoC. Working great !

[Miscellaneous Android Development] kirito9:
Thanks [MENTION=5186178]carliv[/MENTION] [MENTION=4493088]Shreps[/MENTION] [MENTION=5726442]AlexZap[/MENTION], I was able to port CTR 3.3 for MT6735M using this guide and Shreps recovery for reference.

You can find the post here to add to the already ported list. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] freibergisch:
Hi carliv, again,

I did a cut.. On some future day, I will work again on a working recovery for our ODYS Neo 6 LTE. I gave out my version to the folk and they were really grateful, but then I made a firmware package with my phones rooted partition (system.img) and let them flash a prerooted fw themselves.

It is easier than flashing recovery, rooting and you do not have any reboots and they can use the stock recovery on their phones..

It is a good compromise, I guess..

So, thank you for your advices..

My ctr is working, theoretically, so I hope to get a well running one later.

mt6582 lollipop

can i port it to mt6582 running android lollipop 5.0 (kernel 3.10.54) ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Please edit your post and remove the quote of OP. It's eating too much space. Use mention system instead [MENTION=6047937]roufa93[/MENTION].

These recoveries are built in cm-11 (kitkat) environment and that means the encryption and other sources are not matching lollipop ones. You can port it but on your own risk. I don't support lollipop ports in any way.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wertzPH:
i've made port also for my device. backup and restore seems to work fine. as well as flashing zip. but, i cannot seem to manually mount /data gives me error failed to mount data <invalid argument>

PS: ok managed to make it work this time. had to mod my stock rom to allow native mounting of /data. all seems to work fine. much thanks to [MENTION=5186178]carliv[/MENTION] recovery guides especially the one with images.

[MENTION=5186178]carliv[/MENTION]

Carliv i need help, i porting recovery but when i want to do a backup, i get an error "can't mount / data" . i wonder if esta have a solution or if i did wrong the porting
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
If it is for a kitkat image (kitkat kernel) probably the definition on fstab is the problem.

If it is a lollipop kernel I already said, too many times to count, these are not ment for lollipop. These images are built in kitkat environment and that is the recommended kernel to use with.

I will say it again, I can't offer support to port these kitkat builds to lollipop. You must use twrp for lollipop.

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AlejoHurta:
what? I don´t have lollipop, my phone has kitkat and kernel is 3.4.67, and I used TWRP but my problem is I can only install the v 2.8.2 and this version will not let me install roms, I need TWRP 3.0 or what ?

could you help me?

because my device is a lanix s520, 480x545, 5'-inch mt6572, android 4.4.2 kitkat

Flashing CWM for similar phones

[MENTION=5186178]carliv[/MENTION]

Hi sir,

I have a phone Qmobile Noir Z6. Can I install a recovery ported for Gionee Elife S5.5 on my phone? Both the phones have the same hardware and OS version e.g both are MTK6592 and both are android 4.4.2. Qmobile Noir Z6 is rebranded from Gionee Elife S5.5 which means the hardware is 100% same. Does this mean I can flash?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lopestom:
Search on the xda or other site that have Custom recoveries for your question.

Please.... don't make the real developers lost time with the simple question about your device.

Look here:http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7316&idPhone2=6109&idPhone3=6406

Btw you should have stock ROM and stock recovery of your brand for security or/and back to original recovery/updates.

Thanks again carliv. Your CTRv3.3 x64 working great on my BLU ENERGY 2 - MT6735

Is the video trying to play with XBMC (Kodi's) internal player? Is the video streaming via a url, a connected network or from external/internal storage?

Try (if possible) playing the video from a 3rd party app (i.e. BS Player, MX Player etc) & see if it still stutters.

I've had similar issues when trying to stream via url but if I download the video & play it in MX Player, there's no stutter.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xm41907:
Mine stuttered like this and the hardware acceleration fix above did the trick. Now the issue I have is with buffering. I'm on the Fire TV Stick, so I can't connect it directly. Videos often have to buffer several times. I have an older HTPC streaming wirelessly right next to my Fire TV Stick without the issue so I know it's not the router.

[HTC One X] cookan:
Hi guys,

just intrigued really....I have an HTC One X from Orange UK and recently ended my contract. Unfortunately the M8 on Vodafone I have needs a repair so I tried to network unlock my 'old' HOX to find the network unlock code didn't work. I tried two vendors and both gave the same code. Luckily I spoke to Orange and even out of contract they were very helpful and agreed to send me the unlock code for free. Unfortunately, the unlock code they sent me was the same code I had from the 3rd parties.

I chatted with HTC who were pretty helpful also and when I explained that this was my 5th HOX having been replaced/repaired with Orange several times over the 2 years (I managed to hit every documented hardware issues there was)...they looked it up and found the one I currently have, had been repaired and the mainboard had been changed which might explain why the unlock code didn't work.

Interestingly the guy said if I could find the devices previous IMEI and Unlock Code..they might be able to generate a new unlock code...

Not entirely sure whether they need the previous IMEI and Unlock Code for 'Procedure' and 'Security' or whether those number somehow influence the unlock code of the phone so thought I'd ask you guys...

My gut instinct is that the firmware install generates the unlock code based on the hardware in there at the time of install...so if it's possible to replace a mainboard without wiping the firmware, it's conceivable my firmware still has the unlock code related to the previous mainboard....which would be impossible to work out without the IMEI of the previous mainboard..

Unfortunately Orange said they don't store the IMEI of previous incarnations without scrubbing the last two digits and they didn't appear to have a good record of all the work that had been done on my phone/s (I'm sure it's there somewhere but customer services didn't sound like they had it). What they did say after speaking to their technical support guys in the unlocking dept (whoever they are) was that they would send me 'another' number within 24hrs....I kind of paused when they said this and asked where they're going to get that number from but was assured it would be a different number to the one they just sent.....I'm hoping (and I know it's a slim chance) that they do infact have a historic log of IMEI and/or Unlock codes for phones that have gone through their repair centre...we'll see...
