Worked wonderfully !!! For anyone having a problem getting into CWM, re-run the .bat file & after, use option #2 Boot into Recovery... When I did that, all was fine... Thanks again, MT & the gang !!!!!!!

You sir, rock. My wife was a bit tired with the daily failed upd8 msg.

Every time someone asks this question, a box of kittens die. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use the search function, but in terminal type su, then allow SU, then type killall drmserver.

Ok seems on stock zv8 I also can't hear the person nor can they hear me when I'm on the phone with them. This is a pretty big problem..

Edit: no sound from music either. Only sound that plays is the boot screen sound.

I'm going to need a different way of getting cwm into my phone. For some reason my usb connectivity won't stabilize long enough to run the bat file. It keeps going in and out repeatedly on both mass storage and Internet connection modes. Any ideas? I've tried on several pc. All the same.

Try a different cable? Play with the plug to the phone to see if it gets better or worse with different orientations. Hope you get it.

I'm almost positive it's not the cable because charge isn't affected when plugged into the wall. I'll try though.

    Please Read Full Post Before Posting Any Questions!!! If You Ask A Question That Is Answered In This Post, It Will Not Get Answered!!!

    Alrighty Boys and Girls!!! I have tried to make this as easy as possible for what we have!!! First and foremost, this will NOT root if you are already on ZV8!!!

    Prerequisites
    Pretty easy, you need ANY form of ZV7 (By any that includes stock, GingerVolt, Blitzkrieg, self modified, whatever) and CWM. Also, if you have frozen the software update app, make sure you unfreeze before anything!!!

    1) Download this file: http://d-h.st/MeH
    2) Flash that file in cwm
    3) Reboot into the OS
    4) Update to ZV8

    That is it!!! You are now rooted stock ZV8!!!!

    After gaining root on ZV8 you can get CWM recovery by running this ZV8CWMRecovery.bat: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54501789/Revo/ZV8CWMRecovery.zip

    There you have it!!! That was easy now wasn't it!

    Dang that does sound easy, I guess that's what I get for being an early adopter.

    Nothing to see here anymore!!!

    I am currently on ZV8, rooted and am having trouble getting CWM. I am in USB debugging mode and internet connection and when I run the .bat file and choose option 1 (CWM Recovery for ZV8) I get * daemon not running. starting it now * * daemon started successfully * and then it does absolutely nothing. I've let it sit for a while and still see no response. Any help is appreciated!

    EDIT: I had to install the TL Bootstrap on my computer and then I at least got a response after * daemon started successfully *. Except now it says the following message before restarting the phone without CWM installed.

    Press any key to continue . . .


    Same issues I had. All the apps I use got SU permissions fine but nothing worked getting CWM on. The instruction in this thread worked perfectly:

    Will the phone info still say v7 after this. I flashed, all went fine, rebooted, all still good. Checked root, got it, but then checked phone info and it still says v7. I don't really care if it says v7 or what ever as long as I know it's v8. Thanks for all your time and effort dedicated to all of us Revo users MT.

    You have to go into your settings and update now. The file doesn't upgrade for you.
