[Recovery] Unofficial CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7[u8800pro&u8800]

I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.
unofficial Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.7 for u8800pro and u8800 [upgrade to offical 2.3 GB]
Installation Instructions (upgrading - root explorer method):
Using any file explorer which is able to remount as writeable (such as root explorer), browse to the /cust_backup directory and remount it as writeable
Navigate to the image directory and backup up the current recovery by renaming it to something like recovery.bak, or _recovery.img
Rename the downloaded recovery to recovery.img and copy to the image directory.
Installation Instructions (new install):
Unplug any usb connection and turn the phone completely off
Whilst holding both the volume + and volume - keys hold the power button to turn the device on. Let go when you see a pink/purple screen.
Attach the usb cable to your computer and wait until a few usb mass storage devices are detected and mounted. Look for one that has just one directory called 'image' in it. Navigate into this directory and you'll see recovery.img etc.
(optional) Rename recovery.img to recovery_backup.img
copy the new recovery.img to image, unmount the mass storage device (safely remove in windows) and then pull the battery out to turn the phone off.
Hold volume + and power to boot to recovery.
Install any custom rom
change：
mod the kernel,Ums is worked now
use zte u880‘s charge png
can install zip from emmc and use emmc backup&restore
add ext4 fs support
about SDcard
if you can't mount SDcard in recovery,do this:
enter "advanced"--"Reboot Recovery"
then you could use the SDcard
ps:this is issue of offical GB,not recovery!

Did you finally find out if there is a bug in the recovery?
Once you put the recovery, would Rom Manager detect it?

Got it. Unofficial...

Tested on u8800 and works very good. SD card sometimes can't mout properly, but i guess it's not an issue from CMW.
I've done a official GB backup, restored without a glitch, installed ICS demo without any problem too.

Can I upgrade my u8800 to official beta 2.3.5 and use this CWM to upgrade to cm7 or miui if I won't be able to use ics demo?
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App

Yes.
Sent from my ragelis

for me does not work. after several times trying to restore my miui backup (the onlyy one) it gave random errors some times, but after I was able to restore 2 times, I cant pass the miui boot.

Was it a backup you did with this CWM version? Or with the stockwell's CWM? The old backups don't work with this one I believe.

the backup its before this version of course. but even with this new CWM I cant flash new rom. I says error blablabla id u8800pro. I installed this because I wanted to try new ICSrom but now Im stuck to it lol

Have you flashed official GB before installing this recovery? I think you need to do that before this works in the original U8800.

yes I did ! the ICS works but not others.

Hmm, I tried to restore my backup from yesterday done with stockwells 5.0.2.6 recovery and my phone got ****ed up. I know I shouldn't have done this but I just had to try. xD Now I can't get past the Huawei logo, when I push the power the phone starts but just turns off after couple of seconds. I can get to bootloader (pink screen) but not to recovery. I hope no one else has tried this and I hope I get my phone working again.
Would anyone have any advice how to get my phone back up and running? Or should I just go bring it to warranty support?

have you tried to replace the recovery.img from this topic again? that happened to me too when I tried to go back with CWM v4 but then I replaced with this

Nice going there! You used 2.35 kernel for this?
Also touchscreen not working anyway in recovery so that's not really a problem.
You are able to create/restore backups? Tried flashing any custom rom?
Also have a look at /tmp/recovery.log

Yeah, I extracted it from boot.img. I saw stockwell had this working, maybe he had a custom recovery kernel for that. The rebooting issue is making thing hard, I almost backed it up, but it rebooted, so that's the main problem. If I get that fixed, I'll try flashing/backup.
Also, in 2.2, I was able to just start the phone with volume down + power, to get to recovery, but in 2.3, this doesn't work for me. I can only get there when I use "adb reboot recovery".
-EDIT-
Got it working, thanks genti7. It starts with vol up + power.

Before my phone bricked i got that problem too with 2.3 stock i cant enter on recovery with key combo

its volume up + power not volume down + power. Try again.

Done any progress?

I don't have time today, will continue tomorrow. I realized that the /boot partition is wrong, can someone help me with this? Maybe the data one is wrong too, the logs say something about that. I'll post correct details tomorrow.

The reboot is probably because you aren't running the rmt_storage server. The modem needs this to run and so reboots the phone without it. The HW recovery mounts /system to run it which is a stupid idea because /system may not always be there. rmt_server needs some shared libs so you will have to copy them to the recovery image too.

Attached is a recovery that I made, it's v4 but should work. I just modified the hw recovery so it needs a working /system. Obviously there's nothing to flash yet (and you won't be able to flash the old ROMs because amss has changed). I don't intend to support this but feel free to try it out.

You must upgrade amss for the new kernel to work, it also has a new bootloader. Attached is a boot.img that will give you root access with adb in the gb beta rom.

well, about the CWM recovery,you can try the recovery Genokolar has released for the u8800+(or pro), it can work fine. I have tried it, and i have flashed a zip successfully!
PS: i am using u8800 (not u8800+), the official 2.3.5(u8800) has the same partition as u8800+.

Help a n00b there please :o3

Hey, look what i've done while desperately trying to install GearCM or CM12 ROM. First, i installed TWRP on my i9500 device. After that, i put the GearCM 5.1 and Gapps for 5.1 on sdcard, but i got mad really fast when i saw i can't install ANY ZIP from sdcard, then tried another CUSTOM ROMS, same problem, i wiped cache and system ( ye, system ) ) - dont ask why i did that - Anyway, now i have no system files on phone, and on my sdcard i only got that useless ZIPs.
Ah, forgot to mention, the error showing up everytime i tried to install a zip was : "Zip corrupted, Operation aborted" (something like that ).
NOTE : I can't boot normally, but i can boot in recovery (TWRP) . I can't flash another rom using odin as i can't switch usb debugging ON.
Ah, please, don't laugh too much, im pretty serious

Oh, some1 explain this to me -> I tried to install zip @ adb as i saw explained on a blog -> got stuck at recognizing phone-pc due to driver error, so i decided to try last time installing the custom ROMs( THE SAME ZIPs i got error before) from recovery -> install zips. AND GUESS WHAT, less than 20s rom is installed without any errors, i dont know if to be mad or happy. Atleast explain me what happened there.

*stare and laughing a lot*
*Just kidding, okay? :silly: *
And then;
You have corrupted zips. You need to redownload the package completely (ROM+GApps) and transfer it to your external SD card and flash. You can transfer the downloaded zips by using adb push command or remove your external SD card and plug it to anything else (read: SD card reader; of course ).

Yeah, maybe im not exactly as n00b as you think. I used exactly the same zips after(same procedure tho), and it worked smooth(i didn'teven touch them).
NOTE : I think i said i tried using adb to install zips but i got a driver error which i couldn't solve.

I've had that issue for some time especially with CM, have you tried verifying the sh1 checksum once you've loaded it onto your sd card?
Thanks.

[Recovery] Twrp 2.8.7.0 Kipper

Enjoy it.

Nice job ;D

Awesome. It works flawlessly Is there any chance of any custom rom? maybe pure AOSP marshmallow with layers support? is the kipper source released?

I saw twrp 3.0.0.0 can you please compile it?

This works very well, backup, restore. Just one thing i just hope would be great to be there is the OTG drive support.

What extra features does twrp3.0.0.0 have please? The current cm13 marshmallow nightly for wileyfox storm require the cm recovery to install the update zip.

You can able to update to every nightly even you're on TWRP 2.8.7.0 ( I've been using it since and been able to do nandroid backup for that matter, which you can't using CM recovery).
BTW TWRP main highlight is "•Adopted storage support for select devices - TWRP can now decrypt adopted storage partitions from Marshmallow"
If your using adopted storage on Android M, using TWRP 2.8.7.0 will not show the adopted SD card.
You can further check the released note from TWRP website for more info.

I had a try at installing both test version 1 and 2 however the recovery loads yet none of the tile's responded after installation/ loading up completed.

hi i need video how do this recovery plz

Ok so I tried to install the given 2.8.7 version and it worked, but it always said 'wrong password' when trying to decrypt my phone. The same password worked when regularly booting the system. So I thought I might try a newer version and downloaded the _test.zip from the link provided in the thread. Unfortunately, now my phone seems to be bricked! It always boots into Recovery, which asks for my password but does not react to any input on the touchscreen. I can not boot the system or the bootloader, adb and fastboot do not find the device and if I hold the power button (or volume-down + power button) for several seconds it just again reboots into the broken recovery. Does anyone have an idea how to get out of this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit: OK, now I feel dumb. The key combination to get into the bootloader is volume-up+power, not volume-down+power. Now I can continue to try different recoveries in the hope that one of them can decrypt the phone correctly and reacts to the touchscreen.

[HOW-TO] Updating Nook HD+ Internal EMMC from CM11 to LN14.1

Caveat emptor: adopt/follow this guide at your own risk.
Below is a procedure that can be used to update your HD+ EMMC to LN14.1 from CM11 (if your HD+ is currently running stock ROM, use the process described at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-installing-ln14-1-internally-hd-t3562810/).
Download the following files to a location in your user content-media storage space on the HD+:
amaces' flashable TWRP zip file, e.g., twrp-3.0.1-0-ovation.zip ( https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/1/3332706778)
amaces' flashable LN14.1 ROM zip file, e.g., lnos_ovation-ota-NMF26Q.170104.zip from https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/1/3332706778
the flashable zip file of the Gapps pico package open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-2017[mmdd].zip from http://opengapps.org/
Boot into your current EMMC recovery.
Select install zip and install the TWRP recovery zip file obtained in step 1(a).
Power off the Nook.
Boot into the new TWRP recovery flashed in the step 3 (press and hold the Home button, then press and hold the Power button until after the CyanoBoot Universal Bootloader screen comes on, then release both buttons).
Select wipe /data & factory reset.
Select install zip and install the LN14.1 zip file.
Select install zip and install the Gapps zip file.
Reboot into the new LN14.1.
Once the Nook completes the boot (be patient as it takes quite a bit of time), set up the Wifi connectivity and your Google account info. Note that the Apps you previously have on CM11 will not be auto-downloaded/restored into your new LN14.1.
If you run into problems during initial setup:
- absence of WiFi network setup step: see this post
- setup process crashes (as have been reported with some combos of ROM and GApps build versions): retry the clean install process with the sequence of steps # 6, #7 & #9 (i.e., skipping over step #8 flashing GApps) and complete the initial setup, then reboot into TWRP to flash GApps; see also https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72104906&postcount=37 for solution for other setup crash causes.
To enable "Root", see https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72185622&postcount=1915.
Notes
If you encounter errors in step 3 (using your existing CWM recovery to flash the new TWRP zip file):
- If you have a SD card handy, consider using the procedure described at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-installing-ln14-1-internally-hd-t3562810.
- Otherwise, you can try to flash the flashable TWRP zip file available at http://www.mediafire.com/file/3gj4g9j1x363dor/cwm-flashable_twrp-3.0.1-0-ovation.zip.
Please post any comment/question on the features or performance of AOSP & LN ROM builds on the Developer's thread at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/development/marshmallow-nook-hd-hd-t3239269.

Have you tried flashing TWRP through their official app? I think I also had trouble trying to flash TWRP through CWM, but the app worked at the time.
You could also flash internal TWRP through Amaces's multi mode bootable SD recovery. It does mean you'd need to setup a spare SD card for it, but it can be good to have handy anyway [emoji6]

I can't tell why the update script doesn't identify your device as "ovation".

Thanks guys!
I just ended up using the SD card procedure. TWRP app failed as well. CM11 was slowing to a crawl on the NookHD+ so hopefully Lineage will give it new life!

error 20 on gapps (you don't have Android 7)
Hi, had CM11 on my HD+ for over a year. Unfortunately I left it on til battery completely discharged the other night, and even after charging to 100%, it would only go in a boot loop. (cyanogenmod bootloader, then robot face, then cyanogenmod bootloader again, then robot face again, etc, nonstop). So I thought, why not wipe it and put Lineage on?
So first following the link from this thread, for doing a from scratch install (not the link for if you have CM11 since it wasn't even booting for me, so assuming corrupt),
I got to the point of installing TWRP, and it failed with a zip signature verification error. So okay, I uncheck that verification box, and it appeared to install okay. Onto the lnos zip file. As a precaution, I also unchecked the verification box (thinking it might fail like the TWRP install), and besides a couple messages about "E: unknown command [LOG] " which I ignored (from what I read online can be safely ignored?) , and it took a good while (10 or more minutes? didn't time it) and says "script succeeded: result was [10000000] ,updating partition details, ....done" So I assumed it installed? Then tried installing open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170329.zip, and it fails with "This GApps pkg is for Android 7.1.X only. Please download the correct version for your ROM: 4.4.4.(SDK 19) GApps installation failed No changes were made to your device. Installer will now exit Error Code: 20" and install failed basically. So I reboot and what do you know I still see the CM boot loop going on. Does this mean the old CM11 OS is still installed? Or just a bootloader? And if I press "N" I see TWRP as an option, as well as CM (legacy) So I boot to TWRP and go to Wipe, but this time, do Advanced, and select to wipe all items except external SD. Restart, and same CM boot loop is going on. (I had done the basic Wipe before that)
So something isn't right here, or I'm missing some steps? Any help please?

YES I tried both procedures. In fact I tried that link you have for "installing new" procedure first But it failed on the Gapps part. And like I said the previous CM11 (at least boot part) seems corrupt as its stuck in a boot loop. So ideally if it's not riskier, I was attempting to wipe off the old system. (unless by checking all the boxes except SD, under Wipe, Advanced, I did accomplish that? and just the boot/bootloader portion remains?

I got to the point of installing TWRP, and it failed with a zip signature verification error. So okay, I uncheck that verification box, and it appeared to install okay. Onto the lnos zip file. As a precaution, I also unchecked the verification box (thinking it might fail like the TWRP install), and besides a couple messages about "E: unknown command [LOG] " which I ignored (from what I read online can be safely ignored?) , and it took a good while (10 or more minutes? didn't time it) and says "script succeeded: result was [10000000] ,updating partition details, ....done" So I assumed it installed? Then tried installing open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170329.zip, and it fails with "This GApps pkg is for Android 7.1.X only. Please download the correct version for your ROM: 4.4.4.(SDK 19) GApps installation failed No changes were made to your device. Installer will now exit Error Code: 20" and install failed basically. So I reboot and what do you know I still see the CM boot loop going on. Does this mean the old CM11 OS is still installed? Or just a bootloader?

It appears that the old CM11 ROM is still there, the "... succeed ... " message notwithstanding.
The problem behavior seems to be pointing to the possibility that your EMMC is hosed (not readable/writeable). You can test this by trying to re-install stock ROM (see #6 of https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613).
And if I press "N" I see TWRP as an option, as well as CM (legacy)

These are just the choices of TWRP & CWM recovery available on the SD.
So I boot to TWRP and go to Wipe, but this time, do Advanced, and select to wipe all items except external SD. Restart, and same CM boot loop is going on. (I had done the basic Wipe before that)

You should never need to wipe anything other than /data and /cache (/system typically gets wiped automatically (aka reformatted) as part of the process of flashing a new ROM version).

I downloaded the stock rom zip , put it on sdcard, booted to TWRP, didn't do any Wipe but clicked Install, chose that zip, unchecked zip signature verification, swiped to start it, get:
"Failed to retouch '/system/lib/libemoji.so'.
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/NookHDplus-stock-2.1.1.-rooted.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done
So, any hope for my HD+ ? If eMMC IS hosed as you mention, what causes this? And are there any tricks to UN-Hose it? Or is it now a useless dead tablet? Why would my battery going to zero screw things up so badly?

To flash stock ROM you need CWM version 6.0.2.8 attached at the end of the post I referenced.

If your EMMC is dead, you can try to run CM11 entirely off an SD card -- see https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...-4-4-4-for-bricked-no-emmc-nook-hd-04nov2014/.

My Hd is one of those that won't reliably boot to sd card. Any possibility for unbricking , Similar to these (though these steps are for nook tablet, not HD)?

That "tool" for unbricking the NT also boots and runs off a SD card.

While it never reliably booted to the cm11 OS on the sdcard, it's been booting okay lately to recovery at least Twrp maybe even cwm , so assuming I can boot to those , again,does that repair option for NT also work for HD+?

The NT unbricking tool only works for the NT.
Assuming your EMMC is not dead, and its factory-installed partition structure is not corrupted or altered, you can accomplish the same end-goal as the NT tool does by re-flashing to stock ROM using the files linked in the post I had referenced in my earlier reply.

Thank you but again , i tried that already and it failed, which is why I was asking if any of those procedures in the links I posted would work, which u already indicated the NT one wouldn't. I've seen various other xda posts talking about either ADB or partitioning or formatting commands. Was just hoping this HD+ wasn't dead and that I could somehow hack this back to life instead of chucking it in the trash....

The stock rom you tried to install was the rooted version that I customized. Try a plain stock rom from that same thread. Try an older version. That error was a common one for some devices.

Will this guide also work on the Nook HD? (Using the equivalent Hummingbird files, of course).
