[Q][A700]How to undo CWM and restore factory recovery

---

Hi,

I'm in the situation of having a working tablet, but the dodgy version of CWM. The original thread has been deleted and I remember there was adb command at the end to stop the original update.zip from flashing the factory recovery, but not what it was so I can reverse it !
So if anyone can help me out, that would be great, so I can avoid a bricked device !

go finding a original recovery dump,and flashing it in fastbootmode.

Has anybody been able to find a stock recovery for the A700? JP, I also flashed this broken CWM, thankfully I haven't used it but I want to put the stock one back on to avoid any issues.

reflashing the official update.zip
but,delete the first and the third comands in the updating list,this could avoid wiping/formating action to avoid damage to the /data partition.

Thanks! However, the US Version doesn't have an update for it, at least not yet, and I haven't been able to find a stock US A700 ROM.

So we would need to rename the install-recovery.old back to install-recovery.sh in /system as this was disabled in CWM ??

So has anyone managed to successfully put on the stock recovery ?? !!

Take a little advice folks. If you don't know what you're doing, and your tab is running fine, don't be messing with anything. Just leave it alone til a better method comes.

My guess, if you rename your recovery.sh, is that when you boot, you will either get;

A. a "loading recovery kernel" message that just stays there

or

B. an "invalid recovery image", or something similar.

That's what I'm doing, I'm just leaving the CWM on there until somebody comes up with a fixed version.

Sounds like a plan I'll keep things working for now, thanks !
