Root Lucky Me/W\CWM

it backs up your system, bootanimation, and some apps. not fully functional as i seen when it turned on but it does restore your system and bootanimation as for now so if you fooling around with your system just be careful cuz like i said i was pretty lucky man lol smh....
 
Ur suppose to type "fastboot flash recovery boot.img" make sure wen u rename the img file, DONT PUT .IMG AT THE END LIKE THIS ---> (boot.img) its already an image file...

Also put ur command prompt in The same exact folder where u put the .img file

Tip: if u get stuck while ur flashing nd it says waiting for device.. u have to install the driver for ur phn while its in bootloader mode..then ur pc shud recognize it nd it shud B Done real quick.
i tried what you wrote and it sadly didnt work but i tried "fastboot boot boot.img" and it worked just fine!
 
i believe all you did was boot the cwm, not actually install it onto the phone. meaning if you went back into recovery mode itd be the stock recovery.
fastboot flash installs the file permanently
fastboot boot just does a one time only boot of the file
if im wrong someone please correct me but i dont believe i am
now if cwm can install the img file while its running that one time then that would work out but i havent gotten fastboot to work yet because my computer is a piece so i cant tell you for sure

also this is a very important question that needs to be answered before anyone else attempts to install the mod, is it supposed to be installed on the BOOT partition or the RECOVERY partition? i am assuming it goes onto recovery but i could be wrong, and assuming it goes onto the boot partition and being wrong could be a horrible horrible thing
 
ok so i've been digging around this site and i'm seeing both yes and no regarding CWM. do we have it or not? i've just got this phone today and i'd really rather not brick the bloody thing so soon after i bricked my kyocera hydro. consider starting an "all things cwm" thread?
 
having a horrible time finding this version of cwm to install...i see different ones with the same version number on diff threads for diff phones but not just a plain cwm 4.0.1.5..... lil help?
even on cwm website i see a dozen 4.0.1.5 all for diff phones. which exact one did you use or are they all the same?
 
cwm has to be phone specific. installing cwm for a different phone would cause all sorts of fun problems. it has to know how to communicate with the screen or you get no picture, it has to know how to read the internal and external storage to make and install backups, and every phone works a little differently.
think of it like this, its basically a driver issue. just like your computer, if you try to install ati drivers for your nvidia card its not gonna work. try getting an hp printer to work only using epson drivers, not gonna happen. and they cant just throw every possible driver combination into the cwm to make it compatable with every phone out, yes that would be great but it would be so massive that it would take forever to load even if you could find a way to make it fit which with the amount of storage they give you is impossible
