Excell frequently crashing or rebooting

[Mitre]

rename to nandf then push

[wickedweasal]

renamed file to nandf.img then pushed to dev/block rebooted tablet still boots into CWM5

[wickedweasal]

can anyone give me any more pointers to flashing back from CWM5 to stock recovery ?

I have tried via adb and android commander dont seem to be getting anywhere with it at the moment

This is untested... but should work

Use my script for installing CWM to Gingerbread (see Mitres post) modify the install-recovery.sh so it reads like so...

Code: Select all

#!/system/bin/sh

if [ ! -e /data/recovery.cpio ]; then
   exit 0
fi

mkdir /data/recovery

if ! mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/nandf; then
   mount -t ext4 /dev/block/nandf /data/recovery
   busybox rm -fr /data/recovery/*
else
   mount -t ext4 /dev/block/nandf /data/recovery
fi

(cd /data/recovery && busybox cpio -idmu < /data/recovery.img)

umount /data/recovery
rmdir /data/recovery
rm /data/recovery.img


Obviously rename nandf.img to > " recovery.img " without quotes.

Good luck.

Hi suggsy89 thanks for the suggestion, I am trying your suggestion it starts to run then I get an error saying /data/install-recovery.sh: not found

any thoughts?

I have all the files within android/android-sdk/platform tools then run the script file

[wickedweasal]

looks like I have no recovery now, just tried to boot to recovery but all i get is a click from the internal speaker unable to boot into CWM5 or stock

[wickedweasal]

ok just managed to flash it back to cwm5

Hi, ive just found out after a long night on this, you will not and cannot flash back stock recovery after flashing Mitres' Clockworkmod Recovery.
Basicly, when you install CWM this way on Gingerbread it becomes part of the system, and there is no way on earth to remove it... it uses .cpio file extension which is compressed and when you install it, it gets decompressed into the system.

Alternative? Don't ask....

Goodnight! (for now)

Really, well I did not know that. So when the version of CWM for the Excel GB is used it adds files to not only the Recovery partition put in the System partition as well, is that what you are saying?

Cheers

Thats a pain, I did notice the other day when I flashed the tablo image the recovery appeard to be stock again, so if it possible to flash tablo then only flash the parts that put it back to the storage options image that might work. Its just a guess but makes sense to me in theory.
