CyanogenMod/CWM is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed.

This is CWM for Wiko Stairway. As there are no custom roms (yet), this might not be very useful as of now
Do not install on any other device than the Wiko Stairway - I have not tested it on other clones (e.g. the Canvas4 210).

Note:
- The recovery has been compiled from Cyanogenmod 10.1
- minimal device tree that builds recovery https://github.com/chrmhoffmann/android_device_wiko_stairway
- the battery driver problem seems to have been resolved with newer kernel source from wiko, so please upgrade to 0.3

Before proceeding please make a complete backup for ALL partitions (especially the recovery with e.g. MTK Droid Root & Tools).

Thxs go to:
- bgcngm/mtk-tools
- the guys who make MTK droid root & tools
- wiko for updating the source

What works
- you can adb into the CWM
- backup and restore (boot, data, cache, system)
- install from .zip files

Installation
a) Get fastboot executable (apt-get install android-tools-fastboot)
b) and then bring device in fastboot mode (power up then press Vol Down + Vol Up -> Follow the instructions to fastboot)
c) on command line "fastboot flash recovery cwm-recovery-wiko-stairway.img"
d) on command line "fastboot reboot"
e) bring device to recovery (power up then press Vol Down + Vol Up -> follow the instructions to recovery)

Changelog 0.3
- kernel now compiled from new Wiko source STAIRWAY_Opensource_new46752.zip which seems to fix the battery thermo issue
- stripped down kernel (without sound, etc.) to fit into recovery partition size. no other changes to kernel source

0.1

New version with self-compiled kernel. Please read disclaimer.

[SVP, lisez le OP.]

 

[chrmhoffmann]

device tree

Hi,

The device tree is here: https://github.com/chrmhoffmann/android_device_wiko_stairway
(the perl header builder is taken from bgcngm. thx!)

It should now build from scratch. The kernel is still a binary blob (self compiled though) as the MTK kernel build system is .... errr... different.

I confirm that another way is to install the CWM recovery with Mobileuncle MTK tools https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobileuncle.toolbox :good:

 

[Thraral]

Hi,
How is it to remove the custom recovery to return to after-sales service ?
Comment supprimer le recovery custom que vous proposez afin d'envoyer le smartphone à Wiko ?
Thx

 

[Michel38280]

... reflasher la ROM stock de base ... si tu l'as trouves
... flash again the basic stock ROM ... if you find it

Hi,

new version available. New kernel source from wiko seems to fix the battery thermo driver issue. Amazing that they released new source. Thx, WIKO!

800 downloads and only two thanks in the OP!

Hi chrmhoffman,

Great job (and I already hit may thx buttons), but it seems that in my Wiko Stairway it doesn't mount the SD card.
Everytime I select "mount external_sd" it just says "Error mounting /external_sd".
I can only access internal SD.
Can you advise me on that?
thx

 

[chrmhoffmann]

I think it should mount the sdcard with the other menu options for mounting. I don't think I can remove that option.

[n.inacio]

Thx for the fast response.

I don't think I can remove that option.

I'm not asking to remove the option. I actually can't access the external SD.
Usually I have to copy whatever I want to flash to internal SD (and this already got me in some troubles when I format the system and forget to copy the rom).
So when you say

I think it should mount the sdcard with the other menu options for mounting.

Which one are you speaking about because I tried them all. What am I doing wrong?

Thx, again

 

[chrmhoffmann]

Sorry I got confused.... Mounting external sd card works for me. Did you try version 0.3?

I tested with 0.3 and I was able to go to "mounts and storage"-> "mount /external_sd"

Is the card partitioned? What filesystem is the card formatted with? fat should work.

Can u provide file /tmp/recovery.log from the recovery when that happens?

Chris

PS: adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

 

[mishulake]

It's not so simple to intall, like latest ROM...
