Recovery - General Questions and Answers

hi,
I have a hisense tablet. I downloaded goomanager and it has a rom or file that is 4.4 something but goomanager says i need a recovery rom. It said it would try and find me one I tried and it did not find me one. I do see a recovery rom on this website but im not sure I can follow those steps and wanted to use something like goomanager to install it. or a program as easy,,, Is that possible? I see CyanogenMod installers in play store , would one of them load it?
thanks

Download MTK Droid tools....
Root your tab with the root button....
Go to Backup, Root .......
Click the button reboot in recovery or whatever it is....

im already rooted? I used a different program to root. So do I still use the MTK tools? what I want to do is load the recovery thats on this website, will MTK tools do this. Or is there a easier way?
thanks
Marshall

Hi, Mtkdroid tools is only for use with mediatek devices, which I believe your tablet is not. I am not familiar with your device so can't really help with installing a custom recovery, but I'm sure if you use the search facility at the top of this page or google search the web for 'installing cwm on Hisense tablet' you will find some resources. Google is your friend

i was able to load recovery, than I tried to load the 4.4 rom and now my tablet is in recovery. I turn it off and it go's to recovery,,,,crap,,,now what?

guess you see im having problems. But i got it un-bricked,,,still can't get the taktiK rom loaded

Need Help Installing a ROM

I am rooted via Nachoroot. I cannot get into CWM. I have tried the Recovery Installer App - ROM Manager and other methods. All I get is the Android Green Guy with a Exclamation point. I have looked in the forums and cannot find directions on which method I should use to do this.
I am trying to install the Revolver Rom.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks in advance...
Jason
It seems that CWM was not installed on your Transformer. The exclamation point Android is what the stock recovery shows you when it doesn't have an OTA image to install. Try to use whatever rooting tool you tried to use to reinstall ClockworkMod. I have not tried Nachoroot but I guess it must also provide such a thing.
I am kicking myself in the behind! I got it. Thanks.
What was the problem? This isn't happening to me, but so other new-rooters may learn from this.

This kind of problem usually resides in the user not installing CWM. Many tools here for the TF can root your device, but they won't install CWM. You have to run any CWM installer once you're rooted.

[Q] Cannot enter into reboot recovery

Hi,
I have a C10 SBK2 Transformer and I`m rooted it using UNLOCKROOT via usb.
I installed the ROM Manager and CWM in order to install the Android Revolution HD ROM, but everytime I reboot into recovery mode the tablet loads the ICS system and doesn`t load the CWM.
Does anybody know why it isn`t booting into recovery?
Thanks in advance
Not sure but if you have a terminal app try using reboot -r or whatever switch tells it to reboot to recovery.
Alternatively until you figure it out use rom toolbox app. There is a function to boot to recovery.
To me it sounds like you don't have permissions somewhere. The root method you did might not have worked.

Dont use ROM Manager. Theres an app on these forums simply called "recoveryInstaller". Thats what you should be using.

Hi to all,
I have a similar problem.
I've use unlockroot to gain root permission on my tablet. I used root check basic to check if I have gained root access and it said yes.
So I've installed ROM Manager from Google Play and installed clockworkmod recovery (before "standard", after "touch"). When I try to boot into recovery mode, I found an android opened with a red exclamation point on it.
So I have tried RevcoveryInstaller.apk, but when I execute this app, it return this error: "You are not rooted".
Any suggestion?

Dear Goatshocker,
Thank you fot the suggestion, but I had the sample issue theH4mmer had.
Dear theH4mmer,
I had the same problem as you had, that's because unlockroot didn't root our phone. Please download the vipermod tool to properly unlock your phone and install the CWM.

[SOLVED] TWRP Instal

Just got a brand new TF700T today. I unlocked it and rooted it successfully. I am trying to instal TWRP so I can instal CM11 however I cannot make it happen the easy way. Goomanager is gone (what happened with that?) from the play store. Both Flashify and TWRP Manager can't find a recovery for the TF700T. What gives?
Firmware 10.6.1.14.4-20130329 if it matters. JB 4.2.1.
Id really like to avoid fastboot if I can.

fastboot is the way to go...
really if you want to avoid fastboot, you should have left it locked ...
We can get you up and running, let me know
Thx Josh

Alright well lets start with updating the firmware. That should leave root intact right? So whats the best way to do that?

If you are still on stock the easiest way is to flash the latest Asus firmware.
Download your JB 4.2.2 SKU version from Asus support downloads site, unzip the downloaded file once resulting in another zip, and copy that second zip to the root of your internal SD.
The system should recognize the update file, pop up a notification about an update being available and flash it. If it doesn't, reboot.
You will loose root, but you don't need it to flash a custom rom following this:

Thanks to lj50036 I was able to get CM11 on there successfully. Everything is running so much better than it was with the stock rom. I really appreciate it!

Towelroot v1 works with all the Asus ROMs, including 10.6.1.14.10.

So you want to install a custom ROM? Then you don't need to root first, you can start directly with installing TWRP via fastboot.

Where did you get stuck with fastboot? Did you read my guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688891
It is safe to downgrade to .8 but there is no need for it. You can root the .10 firmware with Towelroot v1 as _that mentioned earlier.
Download it from here, unzip the file and install the apk on your tablet, then run it.

Whatever you installed, it's not my rom. I'm just trying to help users along. Not a single dev bone in my body ?
So how did you solve your recovery flash trouble? Post it so others can learn from it.
If you flashed the Asus apps they should be in your app drawer??
If you are unlocked you can just flash the SuperUser.zip from the chainfire su on xda to root as well.

rom2sd1.zip has nothing to do with this... Why are you flashing it?
You flashed the Asus apps in recovery and went through the Aroma installer to select those you want?
Don't know if the installer gives you the option to save the installation log at the end. Look for it, flash again.

[Q] Can't install CWM on Xiaomi Mi4

So I stayed up WAY too late last night trying to figure this out so I figured I'd see if anyone here can help.
I recently bought a Xiaomi Mi4 here in China and I am not a fan of the Xiui OS it has on it. So I began trying to install CWM on it to get things going but no matter what I do, it fails with a different error for each method.
Using the Updater app doesn't work because I do not get the menu to browse for my zip.
Fastboot method says "recovery not support flash".
Rashr says "Partition Failed".
MobileUncle looks like it works but when you reboot CWM isn't there.
I dug into my device and I think I am supposed to have a /recover partition? But I do not see one.
Any help is appreciated. I'm willing to try anything.
Maybe fake phone, MobileUncle is for MTK based phones.
Have u get ur fon rooted? If so first grant root permission from security.if not then download a zip file to root ur fon. After getting rooted download fashify.from this software u can get cwm latest version.
First make sure if your phone is or is not a counterfeit. You can follow the link below.
