adipabeta · Mar 13, 2014

Second days get new fame, the same blue,
Flash this cwm
Advanced
Reboot recovery
There is a warning about recovery flashing
I choose yes, disable recovery flashing
Recovery reverted to stock

I flash again
Attemp to try choose 'no'
But no more warning
Reverted to stock in silence --"

2 fame and same result

Root is fine with both devices

I didn't had these issues so i don't know what to say.. Try flashing old cwm (6.0.2.8) from second post, with odin and from there flash as zip the new cwm... When i tested the root method I installed stock rom with odin, and after i flashed cwm, same with odin.. Rebooted in recovery, rooted and booted to android.. And after ten mins when i went back to recovery, cwm was still there.. No prompt, no silent stock recovery flashing, nothing. And as @Phil3759 said, 'yes, disable stock recovery' should do the trick..

If your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button + home + vol up until it reboots (always will go to recovery)
*when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm

Yes it works.. Please be carefull. Flashing this will increade custom bin counter and you wil lose warranty.
Cheers!

I've installed this CWM, it works great..
but, there's a 'bug' or maybe I've done something wrong..
the thing is I couldn't get 'partition ext sd card' to works..
when I select it, it's just only 'refresh' the cwm, no further option..
would anyone, (esp. @corsicanu} enlighten me?
thank you so much..

cheers,,

i don't really know because i didn't tried it.. but from what i remember it was working in previous cwm.. you could try installing 6.0.2.8 version and partition with it and after that flash back latest cwm..

I too had the same issue with flashing CWM and after boot up in android then shut down back into recovery it had reverted back to stock recovery. Root was ok, that sticks.
Tried suggested flashing 6.0.2.8 via Odin then flash 6.0.4.6 zip but it still restored to stock recovery after booting Android. Flash counter now = 7 all for nothing

I even tried the dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 method but that would only give me temp CWM which again restored back to stock recovery after reboot to Android.

I only manage to get it to stop overwritng CWM 6.0.4.6 by deleting this /system/reboot-from-recovery.p
then flashed CWM 6.0.4.6 now the system does not keep writing stock recovery over CWM 6.0.4.6
I think It may be I did not flash a new ROM but just wanted rooted stock + CWM that some of us are getting CWM restored back to stock recovery. The phone is the wife's so had to restrain from too much messing with it, unlike my HTC which is well FOOBAR'ed

corsicanu · Apr 5, 2014

That might be the thing..

All of my tests were made with deodexed system where that file wasn't.. I will edit tomorow the first page and add your instructions..

Thanks!

If you have root from flashing CWM then you can delete (or move it out and keep as a trophy!) a file from /system folder called reboot-from-recovery.p before you try flashing CWM again.
This seems to be the thing that keeps restoring stock recovery over CWM, I checked again last night and it's still CWM 6.0.4.6 :good:

Thanks, I tried it and it works great both backup and restore. Only one problem the first attempt to delete dalvik cache. Error "Can not partition device: or" is presented on the screen. On the second attempt seems clear the cache. Check this.

didije · Apr 11, 2014

corsicanu, could you upload the recovery.img for the old recovery? or, could you create a flashable zip (I cannot install it with odin for some reason). It is really needed, I need to restore a backup created by that recovery and I cannot install it and cannot find .img only .tar format.

Can`t check right now `cause i don`t have the phone any more.. Will see.. So for now the bugs are dalvik cache not working from first attempt and partition sd card.. Don`t know for sure when i will compile another cwm..

Sorry ..

Sorry to bother, but it doesn't matter what I try I can't see to be able to install CWM.

First time I tried a problem appeared, Odin wasn't recognizing my phone. I realized that the drivers of my phone weren't installed on Windows (I hardly ever use Windows, and my Fame Duos (S6812B) is brand new, so I hadn't used it on Windows yet), and installed Kies.

Tried installing using what you said, unchecking the two options (which made the process finish with a "Pass" message, but the progress bar in my phone got full and nothing happened afterwards, wait some minutes and it didn't change, so I pressed the power button until it reset). Didn't work (recovery was still the stock recovery). Tried killing all Kies related processes on my PC before opening Odin and doing the same process, the recovery buttons still open the stock recovery. Tried the same thing, this time letting the two options you asked to uncheck checked (all the other places where I've seen to install this CWM on the fame didn't ask this), and still, the recovery is the stock one

Do you have any idea about what's that I'm doing wrong? Did I need to check something, have an SD Card in my phone or some other requisite that wasn't on the How-to?

Thank you very much.

Root via that chinese method (vroot or something), install a root explorer and search in /system for a file named reboot-from-recovery.p and move/delete it, unzip the archive containing the recovery and use Flashify from store to flash it.. Please try and report if you succeeded. Cheers!

Updated OP with 6.0.5.1 recovery - @wulsic`s work.
Don`t forget to visit his threads and thank him for this awesome work for our device(s). Cheers!
