Flash CWM if other tutorials fail

[aus9]

Grab your kernel image
Either unpack your existing recovery.img to grab your kernel image
or unpack your boot.img



But there is another way. You may be lucky to find an Official ROM at needrom that has instructions that say to use Flashtool. There is a good chance its a zip file that contains individual zip files including.....boot.img and recovery.img

Always use the recovery.img in preference to boot.img. Good luck. Now place that kernel image into MOD folder but name it kernel so we can use the formula below without any changes.

Repack command

Code:

./repack-MT65xx.pl -recovery kernel ramdisk/ recovery-new.img

Check its size

Code:

ls -al recovery-new.img

It should be a value around 5.2 Mb but its the actual byte size that you need. Now go back and check your byte size from dumchar info conversion (mine = 6291456) and ensure its less than that so I can try it.

If its larger for your size, YOU MUST ABORT.

Add it to your SDcard and test it
Use Mobileuncle to over-write your recovery then reboot into it
----If you do not have a mediatek chipset
------and can not use the forum guides to get a CWM onto your device
----------You can still flash using Linux as per my other tutorial

Cross your legs and hope it works
