Here's my backup
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5ALHYN80

You must be rooted (I assume z4root or universal android root works)
then either using terminal (grab terminal app from market) or using adb.
Grab the recovery.img and drop it into sdcard via usb or adb push.
Open terminal and type su and then flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
or if using adb, its adb shell and then su and then flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Note: I am not the best at writing noobie guides but hopefully it helps

Thanks for this. I do not have mine yet( lol, just ordered it) but I donated for your work!
Thanks!

Anyone have a idea on how to get back into recovery? I have it installed but have tried holding every button to get me back and nothing kinda sucks since I have been testing new mods for this and cant get to my backup because the first shot at the mod was a fail.

I was able to get clockwork installed thanks to you. Do you know of any images that are out for the 7015?

Aside from stock(rooted) dump, there is nothing, I'll work with havic to get a rooted dump with google apps(market mostly) working correctly.
Besides that there is nothing else from my end for now. I personally don't like telechip tablets, bad experience from a gentouch :X
Also telechip company are retards and don't release kernel source, it'd help developers optimize a 2.1 rom and also be able to port kernel to a newer one for 2.2

I can see that this model gained popularity this black Friday. We are just now starting to see android tablets hit " Joe User ". I think that the telechip tabs will become popular so long as the price is on point. Thanks for all you do.

what exactly is this recovery for?
does installing this offer me additional features, or is it merely what we would restore to in case of disaster?

For now it is a good way to backup your unit so that if you screw it up you can go back. In the future people will make images for it. Hopefully someday android 2.2

Which version of flash_image tool is needed to flash this recovery or is the tool stock on the tablet?
EDIT: figured it out. stock. Looking through the dump now =)

If you try and recover from the backup that is in the link you may or may not get a error.The error is md5 mismatch. So the recovery fails to install.
What needs to be done is need to have busybox installed then shell in and run the following commands.
This has to be ran from the dir. that contains the backup files.
Which will more than likely be similar to this
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-12-01.20.41.18
#busybox md5sum -c nandroid.md5
boot.img: OK
cache.img: OK
data.img: OK
recovery.img: OK
system.img: OK
# reboot recovery
reboot recovery
Once in clockwork then run a recovery.
If you have a Issue let me know I will try my best to get you some answers.

where are you when you type that? does it not find the flash_image binary or the .img?

Worked for me
I got it working by doing the following.
1. Download and installed "Android Terminal Emulator" on to the device.
2. Download and installed Z4Root 1.3.0.apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
3. Run it and pressed the "Permanent Root" button. It took a bit and it auto rebooted.
4. Place the recovery.img on the root of my sd card. (Razor950's recovery.img is from post#1 on this thread.)
5. Opened "Android Terminal Emulator".
6. Entered the following.
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
7. Locked everything up for about 5 min and it went back to # prompt when it was done.
8. I powered off the device.
9. After it turned off I pressed and held the back button then pressed the power button. Kept holding it until you see clockworkMod v2.5.1.3. (If it says Android it's too late.)
I have a question myself what is sd-ext on clockwork? Also is there a way to do a selective backup? Just system with no data?
Thanks.

Thanks for your procedure, will try it when I receive my tablet.
Regarding your question about sd-ext, it's a partition of your sdcard. One will be in fat32 and the other in ext2 or ext3. Usually ext2 is used when you have app2sd or 12sd+. The purpose of this is to have more apps in install by installing them on your ext partition instead of internal memory. I use it for my HTC desire (smartphone)
Regarding your second question, I don't know anyway of doing a backup without data but pretty sure it's possible, for example, if you go in your Android do a factory reset. reboot in recovery then do your backup. Not sure if there's another way to do it

Yezir!

Can you see the recovery.img on your sd card from a file manger app like Astro? If so when your in the terminal can you cd to /sdcard? If so can you enter ls -l recovery.img? Check the size to make sure it is all there.
I have anther question myself.
At cobyusa.com/?p=prod&prod_num_id=10498&pcat_id=1013 there is a firmware update. in the update.zip in system in the build.prop file i see a line that says "ro.build.version.incremental=eng.enzo.20101125.200217". I notice that the build number on the device says "MID7015 1.6a_20101105-2". Looks like they may have changed somethings but not sure what. What would be bet best way to figure out what they changed?
I tried to run it from clockwork and i get
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "tcc8900" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "tcc8900"
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
To install this update would I just have to unroot my device? Not sure how to look what the current ro.build.product is now.
Thanks.

Clockwork 3. Tells me image not found.

Adb install cwm?

How do i Adb install cwm recovery from adb when I can only adb thru stock recovery. I jacked my phone up so when the stock rom is booted I can't do anything.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

Or is there a way to put the phone into debugging mode when the GUI is useless. All I have is a black screen after boot
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

You can use the script from mustang9438 to push the modded recovery binary to get you into CWM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206783
If that doesn't work, you'll have to use Odin to restore to stock, then add in CWM from there.

I don't have a windows pc. I took the phone back and am rerooted. Now I am curious about a way to install cwm via adb. Is it even possible? Unless sombody that knows a script for linux users
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

download the recovery binary from Krylon's post and the CWM update.zip,
adb push recovery /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
su (and accept root request on phone)
cp /data/local/tmp/recovery /system/bin/
chmod 755 /system/bin/recovery
exit
exit
adb push update.zip /sdcard/
adb reboot recovery

thank you. i softbricked the phone. i cant use odin. so i am going to use heimdall. wish me luck

Best of luck kid, best of luck (hope you get the reference)
If you're not familiar with heimdall, simply extract the full stock tarball and use the options under flash to add in each part.

Im back in buisness! Thx!

Glad it worked for you.

[CWM] 6.0.3.3 for HP Slate 7

I have successfully built ClockworkMod for our HP Slate 7. I have been successful in backup and restore to and from internal SD and external SD. This is confirmed working on 2800 series and 4600 series tablets.
Prerequisites
You must have root to install this.
- Download ROOT install tool http://www.sjroot.com
- After tablet is rooted, install SuperSU from the market and update the su binary
- Verify root access with Root Checker or equivilent
Updates
-Confirmed working on 2800 series by user Joshua11007! Thanks!
-Confirmed working on 4600 series by goodguy25. Thanks!
-Added download link to stock recovery
Install at your own risk. I or anyone else am not responsible for the damage caused to your tablet or breaking warranty.
Issues
If you go into key test the only way out is to reboot is to hold the power button until tablet resets, but i think this normal.
Install from Windows *** Updated installer
If your tablet isn't rooted, please root it first. You must also have ADB working in Windows. This installer will not work from Linux, but I will provide steps below to flash from linux too.
Download attached zip file and extract on Windows PC.
Follow back-up procedure below if you want to backup your factory recovery first. (This can be skipped but you won't have your factory recovery image anymore if you skip it).
Run the Batch file labeled "Install-CWM.bat"
Done! The script will automatically reboot the tablet into recovery when complete.
Install from Linux
Ensure tablet is rooted
Download attached file and unzip it
Code:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
Code:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mtd/by-name/recovery
Code:
adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old
Done! You have copied the recovery image to the internal SD, copied it to the recovery partition, and moved the factory recovery image so it doesn't over-write CWM the next time you reboot.
Backup Procedure
From your computer with ADB working
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mtd/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/factory-recovery.img
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/factory-recovery.img
You have copied the recovery partition to your internal SD and copied it to your computer.

I have added a link to the op. Thanks.

Just tested, I can confirm it works.
Most easy way to install on linux :
Use this rkflashkit

Also works across 4600 models. Just don't use key test as you'll trap yourself inside and have to power off manually.

I looked through my batch script. I think I need to modify it because it's not executing as root. Use the steps I created for Linux except from Windows command prompt. That's all the batch file is doing.

Strange. Try rerooting, both issues are connected to root. It could be the SU binary as well, does SuperSU want you to update?

I've tried rebooting several times, SuperSU doesn't need an update but it's still not working...

I'll need a bit more time to make the ROM. Sorry guys, I've been trying to tackle an issue with porting CWM to the Slate 7 Plus. I will definitely have a ROM for you guys by the time Saturday rolls around.
