I have a Pipo Mix M2 WiFi tablet which seems to be stuck with 4.04. The device is rooted and there is a custom rom I can install. However, I haven't been able to get CWM onto it. Recently I found Online Nandroid Backup and this seems to have installed a recovery in the CWM folder.
Am I right in thinking I can now proceed and install my romantic from the sd,acrd through Rom Manager?

Hi everybody!
I installed custom ROM(Cherry flame v2.0) to my device(Archos 45 Platinum), and now my device just randomly crashes. I decided to recover my original firmware, so i downloaded it from offical site and then i wanted to flash it using cwm, but the thingnis when i installed custom rom my cwm got deleted :\ I would install it again but i dont have pc anymore and my device isnt rooted. So can someone help me to install custom recovery without pc and root??
Thanks,
zuema
I recently rooted my galaxy tab 2 P3110 with Odin and CWM recovery 6011 and i seemed to have wiped the stock android os as i cannot boot into it anymote - the Tablet automically boots into CWM all the time
Then when i try to install Slimrom or CM installer to flash and install a new OS but i getting an error 7 - unverified file so i cannot put any Os back on the device
Can anyone help?
Sounds like you flashed the wrong recovery, possible that you installed the p3100 recovery.
Try reflashing the recovery.

Flashing KK ROMs on outdated recovery will get you a status 7 error. Grab the latest (I'd go with TWRP as CWM support will be ending soon) version from here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548257 update to the latest one you like (CWM is 6.0.5.0) Load up a ROM and give it a go. I put all my ROMs on an external card to be safe. Maybe do that and then just install from such.
p,s. CM installer never works, I dont think our tabs are compatible with it. At least I've never got it to work.But, you dont need it anyways.
I have a Verizon Samsung S3 (4.4.3) and I would like to backup the system before I try a custom rom.
It was rooted with Towelroot
I have Titanium Backup Pro, SuperSU and ESFileExplorer installed.
I have been trying to install TWRP using Odin. I tried installing both 2.6.3.1 and 2.7.1.0 d2vzw.tar but both failed.
I went looking in the Play Store for GooManager but it is not there.
Is there another relatively easy way to install TWRP or make a system backup to an external SDcard through USB.
Any help would be appreciated.

Your bootloader is LOCKED with 4.3 or 4.4.2 therefore you CANNOT install a custom recovery, and don't try unlocking the bootloader as it will brick your phone. The only custom ROM's you can install are the few Touchwiz ones that are available. You won't be able to install any AOSP
Using the search box would've saved you time.
Hi,
I want to root my Mate7 but I am not comfortable with messing with recovery. What is the way to backup stock recovery so I can put it back with fastboot flash recovery after rooting is done?
Thanks.
Hi xtonda - the package going around for unlocking/rooting the Mate7 currently that contains the recovery_b60.img also contains a copy of the stock recovery.
If you follow any of the guides available (off hand I can remember http://mate7.net/ascend-mate7-bootloader-unlock/ from the other day, but plenty guides available on XDA and elsewhere) the tools/driver package includes the stock recovery.
Flashing the stock is done in exactly the same way as flashing the CWM, just with the different file.
So you'd unlock, flash CWM, root the device, then flash the stock recovery again
Cheers - hope that helps!
Hi, I found two guides to root Mate7 here and each has own package with CWM recovery and some original recovery. However these original recoveries are not the same so I am not convinced that they are exactly the same as the one in my device (obviously at least one of them is not) since there are several Mate7 variants and ROM version and is unknown where these "original" recovery images come from. That is why I want to download original recovery from my device and flash it back after rooting.
Or to boot CWM recovery only temporarily without flashing it, I found that it should be possible using "fastboot boot" command. Is that possible?
I bought an Azpen 1320G tablet from TigerDirect a while back and realized it comes pre-rooted. I'm trying to install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
I installed ROM Manager from Google Play, but can not install CWM using it.
Does anyone know of a compatible custom recovery that I can use with my tablet or have any other advice?
