[Recovery]Clockwork Mod 4.0.1.4 (3.2 compatable)

[TheManii]

DJ Steve ported CWM 4.0.1.4 with the release of 507.

Requirements:

• Stock 5xx based rom [Honeystreak is not supported!]
• Ability to enter fastboot mode: Fastboot+ADB.zip
• Battery with 60% or greater charge
• Basic understanding of the command line

Install Instructions:

1. Download recovery.img
2. flash the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
3. Finished

Credits:

• DJ_Steve for porting it
• Koush for creating clockwork mod
• I take no credit beyond this basic guide

Notice:
The Streak 7 with HC might now detect the driver properly, if it doesnt you must force install it using the "Android ADB Interface" from the list of available drivers
Will not work on 2.2.x, you must use CWM 3.0 for that.

Do not attempt to wipe data from within CWM, it will likely case a boot loop afterwards.

Thank you!!

Can I just push this recovery to my recovery partition within 3.2?

Im having issues having my PC at work recognize the fastboot device, and installing the drivers.

I am on xp..

TIA!

'error: cannot load 'recovery.img'


I got fastboot going fine, commands like 'fastboot reboot' are working.

However just above when I use your line to flash recovery, any ideas on what it might be!?

 

[TheManii]

Uploaded new version of fastboot+adb.zip hopefully it has the correct IDs so you dont have to force install it.

Are you sure you downloaded the image correctly, and did you name it correctly when using fastboot

 

[medseven]

Yeah I was making a repeated typo when pointing fastboot to the recovery but its all working now, thanks a lot.

Clockwork mod (cool blue writing) and rooted all within a few days, good work and thanks to all involved.

FWIW I tried this on the T-MO stock 2.2.2 ROM. The install went fine, I copied S7-4.0.1.4.img to recovery.img and ran the fastboot command with no problems.

I power up the Dell Streak 7 while holding power and the up volume key, and get the menu as expected. I Select "Software Upgrade via update.pkg on SD Card", and the message "Booting recovery kernel image" is displayed.

At this point the machine seems to be frozen. I can reset with a paper clip, and reboot the machine into 2.2.2 just fine, but if I cannot resolve why it does not show the clockwordmod menu, then I guess it is back to NVFLASH.

So what am I doing wrong? do I need an SD card in the device with an update.pkg on the card? Or is there something else?

 

[TheManii]

Oh that was a strong possibility.

CWM 4.0 uses the 507 kernel as a base. 507 will not boot without updating the bootloaders.

So that means CWM 4.0 wouldnt be able to boot unless you had 50x installed.

Probably a good idea then to remove that "Assumed to work on 2.2.2" phrase then from your first append.

So I guess it is NVFLASH time ... Or could I somehow flash back only the original recovery.img using fastboot somehow?

 

[TheManii]

Post updated, i needed someone to actually confirm that it didnt work as i dont have access to a s7

I posted over at TabletRoms yesterday that the new recovery did not work with Froyo 2.2.2.

To answer your question, all you have to do is fastboot flash the old CWM recovery, version 3xx something I think it is.

"waiting for device " and nothing happen !!! what should i do? i can not install driver using files in : Fastboot+ADB\Win32\Streak 5+Streak 7+Venue\Win7 !

Like he said if you flashed it on a s7 that's still on 2.2.x just reflash with the CWM 3.0 one and that one will work fine on 2.2.x

Is there another way to root stock 3.2?

I am getting this error in fastboot...

"Flashing StorMgr partition recovery
Read after write verify partition recovery"

 

[TheManii]

Not the stock one, as no other rooting tools work on it.

Ways to get around it include: using a pre-rooted rom or using a custom rom (which are normally pre-rooted)

Something may be wrong with your device/install if that is coming up. Or possibly your download was bad, try re-downloading it.

 

[thesmacker11]

I tried re-downloading didn't work, I have stock rom, I don't think I can install a custom or pre-rooted rom without installing CWM?

 

[TheManii]

You can with nvflash, as honeystreak is ment to be installed with nvflash then updated with the bundled CWM, which is prerooted

Whichever method you decide is up to you, as I cannot formally recommend that one method is better then the other.

Well just as an update I tried this on a windows xp, windows 7 32bit, windows 7 64bit computer, and redownloaded that file each time and it still does the same thing on my device.

 

[TheManii]

It's likely your device itself that's the issue then, I cant be more specific as I dont own a S7

I'm not sure if I should be asking questions here or over in another forum. Figure I'll start here...

I was sorely missing app2sd in honeycomb so went to use and install Link2SD figuring I'd use that. But it doesn't seem to see the second partition I've made on my SDHC card. I can mount the card on Mac OS and Linux and both mount the two partitions on the card so I feel pretty sure I formatted the card correctly. I saw some comment about a change in the way CW mounts things and it causing troubles in the Link2SD thread but I don't understand enough about the magic of Android and how it mounts discs, although I know it had Linux roots, so the comments in that thread weren't clear to me what I can do to get Link2SD working or for that matter even start to gather info to try to figure out what's wrong. Can anyone help me out or point me to a thread that can get me started in figuring out what's going wrong?
