[Recovery] CWM Easy Installer

Below is for A87
It should work for A15
But try at your own Risk

Credit: itzmiandy for creating CWM. I have just created an installer.

Created an easy Installer for CWM.
Those who find it difficult for flashing through fastboot.

Steps:

1 Load all drivers on ur pc which we call ADB drivers.
2 Setup fastboot mode on your handset

Setting up fastboot:

Turn Device off
Volume Up button + Power ON button for 10 Sec
This will show fastboot mode is on (Green Color) let go the keys
(If ADB Drivers not installed, kindly do so by checking device manager if it shows some yellow exclamation)

3 Download and install CWM
How to Install CWM?

Extract all files from zip
U will see file named Install CWM.bat.
Run that file and now plug A15 to usb cable (it must be in fastboot mode as we did before)
Follow instructions on the DOS screen to make it load CWM recovery.
Your Mobile will reboot after installation is finished

Yup
First we need to have stock Recovery Image then only we can try this.


Well came across this strange issue.
When I installed MX player 720 p videos HD ones in .avi format played flawless with this HW+ codec of Mx player.

But it crashed my
settings>sound section
whenever I went there it force stopped.
Factory reset was only solution I had :(

Has anyone else experienced it?

1. Power off the device.
2. Press Vol Up + Power key
3. Keep pressed when green screen comes (fastboot)
4. Later Red screen (recovery)
5. Let go the keys.

Here you get various factory reset menu buttons.

that is excellent
thank you so much. we are almost on the verge of completing the second step

1. root
2. recovery
3. roms - im not so keen on these unless they can provide something fantastic

ICS that we have is Damn stable
If looking for CM9 its not impossible but doubtful

We must look for CM10 or JB ROM

BTW updated your links on 1st page 1st post for those willing to test stock recovery and boot

hi nilesh welcome - we do know each other from the spice 350 thread.
i had the same thought and i did try loading mobile uncle, and it does run but engineering mode is disabled
other functions may still work but i have not tried

to flash recovery you must start the phone in fastboot mode
download and extract the contents of this file to a directory (you may require jdk - if required download from the start of this thread)

fastboot erase recovery --------------------------to erase the recovery partition
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img --------------------------to flash the recovery image
fastboot reboot --------------------------to reboot the phone

remember we do not have a working clockwork mod recovery for this phone ...... yet
