Re: [PORT][CWM]ProjectPanda for Viper LTE

Okay when i try to install i keep getting 1 of 2 errors. Adb not found or recovery.img not found i used the command from the OP. Any help is appreciated.

make sure the platform-tools of the android sdk is in your path. and then when you go to push recovery.img make sure you are in the same directory in the terminal that recovery.img is in..

maybe something like

~/Downloads/recovery.img is where the file is located. so you would want to be in the downloads folder when pushing

Thanks for the quick reply but i just figured it out. I was flashing through terminal on my phone and realized i needed a different command. I can be a bit daft at times.And it works just like it should, booted into recovery via terminal mounted system and all the other mounting points then cleared the cache and flashed the loopy smoothness tweaks.All went without a hitch other than the reboot is messed up but all it takes is a battery pull and i was back in business excellent work guys

Loopy smoothness tweaks? I need to know more..lol. edit: how do I bring up platform tools in term emulator? I've pushed the recovery but it isn't sticking...I'm a total noob at using terminal emulator. Thanks

So it looks like all the issues are as follows:

1. It can't reboot
Fix: Pull battery, or hold power for 10 seconds

2. It can't perform a basic Nandroid backup
Fix: Set backup method to TAR

3. It doesn't create .md5 files, so it won't restore
Fix: Use ADB to create the file

4. It doesn't flash /data
Fix: Titanium Backup

Kudos.

Also, I am not sure if restore actually works, I could not boot after restore, still booted into recovery like after I flashed the ics zip I made

Did you mount /system?
I noticed that system.tar is 0 bytes, but system.tar.a is 300 mb

You don't bring platform tools up in term emulator its the install path for adb on your computer.
Easy way to install is to copy the recovery.img to the root of your SD card and type these commands in terminal emulator.

su(press return/enter)
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13(press return/enter)
That should get it flashed if not let me know the error.


If my post helps in any way press the thanks or like button :-D

Ok so I've been following this post and others and I'm really smart with technology but I've never worked with android only IOS so could someone make a YouTube Vid? Or a step by step guide for noobies?

Re: [PORT][CWM]ProjectPanda for Viper LTE

Ok

1. Download recovery
2. Unzip
3. Rename the recovery to "cwmrecovery.img" and put it on your sd card
4. Use root explorer to copy it from your sdcard to /data/local/tmp/ (maje sure to mount rw)
5. In terminal emulator, type su, and accept superuser request, the $ will turn to #
6. Copy and paste this : " dd if=/data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 bs=4096"
7. Type reboot recovery

Done

And this can be done without a pc right?

Re: [PORT][CWM]ProjectPanda for Viper LTE

That works to get me in one time. The next time I reboot the phone and type reboot recovery again it it shuts down I get the android with the exclamation piont and it boots back into system. If I type that recovery.img command again it will go right in. Its like its not sticking for me. I did mount system as r/w... sorry for bein a punk about this..

How do you even make is writable all it says in d-- how do I change that

Re: [PORT][CWM]ProjectPanda for Viper LTE

You also need to put recovery.img in /system because it reads from there as well on each boot

I don't think that's the issue try these commands from terminal emulator.
su
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

See if it finds those files they are rewriting the recovery on reboot

Re: [PORT][CWM]ProjectPanda for Viper LTE

Anywhere in system? The whole zip or just the. Img? Thanks

 

[lmoore55]

Re: [PORT][CWM]ProjectPanda for Viper LTE

i went in with root explorer and removed those with the file browser.

And hold off on putting recovery.img in there. Follow the directions of the previous post. Delete those files first, if still not working try putting it on there.

Re: [PORT][CWM]ProjectPanda for Viper LTE

I'm thinking those files were on original zvc software phones mine had zvd when I got it and didn't have them
