[CWM]Samsung Galaxy Y (ALPHA)

I have tried my best to make it work but I am not able to figure-out what is wrong with it.
I am able to boot into CWM but it is not performing functions like backup,restore,mount,system,etc.
But you can download the attached zip place it in the root of your SD-CARD and flash it from recovery.
After you fla**** with stock recovery, it will automatically OPEN CWM recovery.
You can scroll with volume buttons and center button to select and power button to go back.
But after reboot it will when you press power+volume up+centre it will boot in stock samsung recovery.
After you flash it you can also use ROM MANAGER and press Reboot into Recovery to boot in CWM Recovery.
It will not hurt your phone but i am not responsible for any harm to your phone.
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: My recovery is not working. Use this recovery by Skin1980: www.multiupload.com/IGKG2L5RAF

Why is this in the Questions and Answers section?

Because I want help in making it stable.

I am not a developer.
But.. Galaxy 5's recovery works(for me atleast) on Galaxy Y, so you might wanna have a look at its code, it can not mount though.. and it also is overwritten or something and everytime I use ROM manager to boot up n CWM it gets replaced again(same as u said in short).
P.S. 'Thanks' for trying.

still wait to finish.i vote you

I expect this was a long time, trying out many more of you, I voted you

failed in flashing progress
i think this because s5360 can't install one-package firmware

anyone try successful??

failed also, i am using cygwin to recompile it as .tar
but it still says the same thing..
i thought the one package is already solved there was a blog who made that post about flashing in one package.

I have tried to flash it with ODIN but it failed then I made an update.zip package with your recovery but after flashing it soft-bricked my phone.
I think something is wrong with the recovery you should fix it.
I can test these recoveries for you but since I am going out for holiday for 10 days sometime I may not test it instantly.
Thanks for your participation in development for this phone.

[Q] (HELP) Micromax A110 stuck on Bootscreen- Rom-Canvas 5.1

Hi Guys,
Before you guys shoot me down, Just wanted to say, i searched XDA for 2 hours, couldn't find the exact reply. And a few topics are open since a year with no reply, So thinking that someone will reply to me. I am opening this "Need Help" Ticket.
I have a micromax a110 with 4.04 - as i got no update ever! So what i did was
Rooted the phone properly as per the procedure.
Downloaded the CWM 6.0.4.9 recovery [selinux] and flashed it with Recovery Link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/mic...opment/recovery-cwm-6-0-4-9-recovery-t2789175
Downloaded the [ROM][4.2.2] CanvaS5™ V1.1 Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775553
After flashing the rom properly, when i reboot the phone, it gets stuck on the boot screen forever. Am i doing something wrong? Should i have flashed a kernel? or something. Please note, i am not looking into going back to stock, as i have moved into the dark side of the root world .
Since i have just been a Read-only user of XDA for all this while(more than a year), with no posts ever, i cant request for help on the Developer Thread as it requires privileges. Requesting someone to please post this topic there so i can speak to the dev or please give me a answer to help me:silly:

That Recovery you flashed is SELinux enabled and is not supported by 4.1-4.2.2 Jelly bean Roms so you have got boot loop . You can try other recovery or flash higher android version roms .
---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------
I think this CWM recovery will work with your downloaded rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204785
And remember before flashing anything clear data,cache and dalvik-cache.
Happy Flashing

Thanks guys for the reply, let me flash the above CMW and check. Will revert shortly

How to i put the CMW in the phones root directory now for it to flash? The phone doesnt start so cant access it through usb. Any ideas?

Since your phone is not booting you should use SP Flash tool on PC to flash the recovery. Here's a guide to SP Flash tool:

Thanks dude, for your quick response. I wont be able to confirm on this today as setting up SP Flash tool is just too hard. It talks about some scatter file. I dont know how to make that.Let me get a grip on that, will confirm then. Thanks for the help anyhow

Hey shreyas,
I have tried it with SP tools, it doesnt work, man. Drivers, Softwares, updated all of them, i keep doing everything. I know i am doing something wrong, but its hard to identify, spent like the entire night trying to make it. Can't i get a flashable zip for CMW instead or know that on which rom did the CWM selinux work on? This boot looping is now killing :fingers-crossed:

Finally, i found a way, thanks 4Shreyas for all the help. Gave me knowledge and helped me identify the errors.
I couldn't flash the rom or the cmw recvoery through the pc as the drivers for SP tools never worked on my Win 8.1 x64. Finally applied the stock jellybean file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160609 . It updated my CMW since that was the problem i was stuck in bootloop.
After that i flash the phone with my desired rom.
In the end, all good:laugh:

Cheers bro !!!! Yes getting MTK drivers in win 8 is a challenging task and as SELinux CWM recovery is concerned you can flash 4.3.x and 4.4.x roms . Google it , if any rom is available then use that recovery to flash those roms .
Enjoy !!

True that, i actually gave up trying to find the drivers. There arnt any 4.3 or 4.4.x roms released for mmx. When they do, will surely apply the Selinux CWM. Thanks for all the help .:good:

Hey Thanks for reply, i resolved that issue by trying to turn on the phone by usb power, phone boots up normally but without any signal both sims are properly inserted but no signal (may be IMEI issue) how to resolve it???. ( procedure i followed for previous attempt, i am currently on JellyBean my stock android version(people say Mi509 come with KITKAT out of box but its not in case of my phone. i followed your procedure as it is, downloaded attachment and MobileUncle apk installed that apk , opened that uncle and selected recovery update and it automatically restarted.)

now i know that my standard Android Recovery was OVERWRITTEN by custom recovery and i DIDNT backup my stock recovery . what should i do. ( i read something about EFS partition which contains IMEI info which was corrupted by custom recovery i believe ). and also please send me backup of recovery partition (or EFS) to me @ [email protected] i will set my own IMEI nos using Enginering Mode apk . this is my only phone please help me

If your device I bricked then just flash stock firmware using sp flash tool...if you don't know how to ...
Then give it to service centre but don't tell them about rooting and flashing custom rom...
Bcoz if you tell them then they will cost you money...

now connect your device to pc via data cable with or without battery ...
then click on download button in flashtool and press vol down on device.
then update will start..

Help, trying to flash via recovery acer a1-830

hello,
Acer iconia a1-830, I'm trying to flash a stock firmware SDs_Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_1.007.00_WW_GEN1.zip
i saw this file for a1-830 acer, it says like this
Firmwares
Flashable via (stock) Recovery
A1-830
SDs_Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_1.007.00_WW_GEN1.zip
SDs Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_RV01RC02_WW_GEN1.zip
SDs_Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_RV01RC05_WW_GEN1.zip
So i downloaded SDs_Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_1.007.00_WW_GEN1.zip,
i assume it's flashable via android system recovery, so copied the file to my microsd card and boot to recovery then only option i know to flash it by "apply update from external storage" then select the file.
it gives me this error installation aborted.. it is trying to find update package.
tried changing file name to update.zip still the same error. i know i'm doing it wrong.
anyone knows how to flash this files to my acer iconia a1-830?
thanks in advance.:laugh:

That site is a joke. I tried to download Lollipop for my a1 830 and the file turned out to be CENTos. It installed fasterweb spyware on my machine after going through the survey process.

hello,
Acer iconia a1-830, I'm trying to flash a stock firmware SDs_Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_1.007.00_WW_GEN1.zip
i saw this file for a1-830 acer, it says like this
Firmwares
Flashable via (stock) Recovery
A1-830
SDs_Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_1.007.00_WW_GEN1.zip
SDs Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_RV01RC02_WW_GEN1.zip
SDs_Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_RV01RC05_WW_GEN1.zip
So i downloaded SDs_Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_1.007.00_WW_GEN1.zip,
i assume it's flashable via android system recovery, so copied the file to my microsd card and boot to recovery then only option i know to flash it by "apply update from external storage" then select the file.
it gives me this error installation aborted.. it is trying to find update package.
tried changing file name to update.zip still the same error. i know i'm doing it wrong.
anyone knows how to flash this files to my acer iconia a1-830?
thanks in advance.:laugh:

Install driver first just connect phone to pc or use adb installer for driver installation.
Then unplug it if driver installed properly.
Extract/Open SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1252
Click "Scatter-loading"then browse "MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc"inside the Firmware.
Hit Download button.
Hold volume down then connect to PC and wait until flashing is done.
