Small question: my device is on 10.26.1.17. Updating to the latest official 4.3 will definitely wipe the CWM recovery, and probably will make some of the apps not running any more (not mentioning loosing root, etc..)

Is it possible to install the CWM on such a ROM version (10.26.1.17) ? I've just tested booting it and booting (and using it as a backup) works.

Both cromix and cm11 will require the latest bootloader to eliminate compatibility issues it is recommended to flash to the latest asus firmware

recovery updated with baseline build and sorted dock sd card functionality and usbdisk functionality.

@pershoot I'd love for this recovery to include touch screen drivers. That way at least aroma could use the touch screen. Any ideas how to compile with the standard drivers included?

I'm getting a weird error I've never seen before trying to flash something with fastboot. :
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 643825664 bytes
error: cannot load 'recovery.img' : No error

Any ideas?

Make sure recovery.img is in the same folder as fastboot and you are running the cmd prompt from that folder.

Duh, I have platform-tools in my path so I can run them from anywhere. I forgot to cd to the directory. Thanks for airing out my brain fart.

Hi,

I spent hours trying to get this to work before discovering there are two missing steps in the OP's instructions.

There's a shell script that calls an application that restores the stock boot loader on every boot.

You have to delete it.

Steps:

1. Root.
2. Install Root Explorer.
3. Go into /etc
4. Delete install_recovery.sh
5. Go into /system
6. Delete recovery-from-boot.p

You have to delete the files. You can't just rename them or change the extension because the system actually searches the filesystem for a file whose contents matches an MD5 hash and will find it if you rename it.

After you do this, THEN follow OP's instructions.
