Root Awesome Android Update 4 Released

make sure you get cwm from the original cwm thread instead of the one in the tutorial. Not sure if it is the right one.
 
Neat emulator, gotta say.
I imputed the string twice, got this back 0+0 records in 0+0 records out
0 bites transferred in 0.008 secs

It's not running the script. I've got the CWM folder renamed as : recovery.img, and in the sdcard. But, the tutorial says the root of the card, ??? is that another folder, or just in the card?

Anyway, seems like it should role out, if I get the sequence right.

Thanks.

Thanks.
 
Can't get this working, after multiple try's. The Emulator's, not running the "cww-6.0.2.7-warp-beta2.img" file.

I must be doing this wrong.

The file name I input in the emulator, after, inputting this : "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/" is " cww.6.0.2.7-warp2-beta2.img"

I'm leaving off the script, which refers to the release prior to the cww.6.0.2.7-warp2-beta2 (that I want to install).
The tutorial would have me download "cww.6.0.2.7-warp2" and type in this, "dev/block/mmcblk0p13"

Here's the tutorial in brief:

This is the EASIEST way to install CWM on ur device.

First, make sure ur rooted
Second, download terminal emulator from the play store.
Third, download the newest CWM 6 from Here, https://www.dropbox.com/s/if97pvabjwg2yuy/CWM-6.0.2.7-warp2.img , make sure u put this download into the root of ur sdcard and rename that To recovery.img
Fourth, open up terminal and type "su" to Gain Root access, click allow.
Lastly, type "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13" just copy and paste, dnt include the tick marks--->("")

And thats it, just reboot ur phn n hold the volume up button n it shud go into recovery mode

I'll keep trying.
 
copy and paste u can do it from your phone phandroid app got to the post and copy and paste this remerber with out this little thinks """"""""


dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

Only run this command once you have a file in the main directory of your sdcard called recovery.img
This command will not ever work if you do not have that file named that in that directory.

NOTE: THIS DIALOG SHOULD BE HELD AT THE APPROPRIATE THREAD HERE!!!
 
remeber to put the file in sd card aslo remember rename the file recovery only do not put img beacuse when u check sd card will say recovery.img.img so just rename it recovery happens to me

I know, there's still a little DOS and command line floating around upstairs, so I know that.

I've tried each form of inputting this, it's just not running for me.

Some wisdom by junkie2100 IS RUNNING though, and that it's failure that needs to happen, and for some, LOT'S of it, before sweet success arrives.

It's my turn to experience good old failure, big heaping helpings of it too!:stupido2:

I'm going to have to stop, for a while and come back fresh, it's proving frustrating, since it's really a simple undertaking.
 
ok well when you get back, what file did you name recovery.img? if you named the autoinstaller that, youre gonna have a bad time

if you didnt change the name of cwm-6.0.2.7-warp-beta2.img to recovery.img, youre gonna have a bad time

if you put it in a folder and not directly on the sd card, youre gonna have a bad time

french fry when you should have pizzad, youre gonna have a bad time
(heh disregard that last one, i just watch too many cartoons lol)

you have to take one of the manual installs or the img file from the autoinstallers files folder and rename it recovery.img instead of cwm-6.0.2.7-warp-beta2.img
before or after you put it on your sd card, not in a folder on your sd card, just on the card directly
that is what this command does

adb push (name of the image file) /sdcard/cwm.img

but you can skip that step by just placing it there and renaming it manually, in that case though it would be renamed to cwm.img instead of recovery.img, doesnt really matter it just changes the command you do next

the next command other than the ones used to get into the phone and tinker around(seen below)
adb shell
su

is the command to copy the file from the sd card, to the place it needs to be. in order to accomplish that you have to know exactly what its called and where it is
this is why we put it directly on the sd card, and named it something simple

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

or if you named it cwm.img

dd if=/sdcard/cwm.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

or if you had named it recovery.img put it in a folder named "folder" on the sd card instead of directly on it

dd if=/sdcard/folder/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

the last part never changes, if you change it you will mess something up bad, so dont screw with that
only change the part that changes in the different examples i have given you
 
Yea, that's the way I went. Fried ... my brain!

It did ultimately run, with the "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13" and yet ... still after reboot, I've got the same recovery screen, which doesn't offer me any other choices, such as dalvic cache.

Must be something simple, and I'm not seeing it. See all those damn trees? Well where's the FOREST, there's supposed to be a forest around here some where.
 
use the stock file manager that came with the phone. make sure its set to "SD Card" at the top, and see if the recovery.img file is there. also if you renamed it in windows you might have accidentally named it recovery.img.img, because windows hides the .img part by default if you have a program that can open those kinds of files
 
and keep in mind people, this phone DOES NOT come with an sd card in it, so if you didnt put one in you dont have one and that is why it is failing, we can work with that but its a whole different command set

if youre not sure whether you have a card or not, pull the battery cover off, just above the top right corner of the battery itself is the slot to slide the card in, if there isnt something filling most of that little indentation that you can slide out then you dont have one
p.s dont pull it out while the phone is on, causes issues
 
here how about this, i have updated my autoinstaller scripts... they now include an alternate method for each OS. that way if method one doesnt work method 2(this method) should. go back here
http://androidforums.com/warp-sequent-all-things-root/669226-cwm-6-v-2b.html
and download the auto installer again, the alternate method should work for you

edit: and dont worry an sd card is not required for this second method, i took that need out by using the internal storage

Well, took a break, came back, fresh, tried the same again, and vuwalla .. got the CWM everyone's been talking so much about.

What did I do different? I re-named the .img file in the sdcard. I'd tried "recovery.img", got nowhere, then tried, "recovery" alone, and when that was put in the emulator and typed in the string, as "recovery.img" ... the script ran, so fast, I was sure nothing had happened.

Had to reboot to be certain, and yes, there it sits, newly minted fresh off the presses, "CWM".

Appreciate this extra effort, and the PM, (have to access that later firefox blocked it).

Mostly l trashed around a lot, and then lurched forward a single step.

I'll be trying to see why I can't keep the USB connection open, when in De-Bug mode.

My thanks and gratitude to each of you who offered help, I know that long-distance intuiting is a lot like trying to identify, by touch in a pitch black room, what that massive object actually is. Could be a woman, could be a dead elephant, could be a pile of engine parts?

Not being there, means you do the best you can!

Thanks.:D
 
np. shit happens my friend. the debug mode problem is probably due to having usb 1.0 or 1.1 slots on your computer, this phones bootloader mode and usb 1.x dont get along well at all, i had the same problem with my last computer. you dont have to worry about it tho you wont be needing that anymore, everything form here on out is smooth sailing

and the pm was just to let you know i made the new autoinstaller, just in case you didnt see the post here
