Hello Xda, i own a ZTE midnight and just a few hours ago rooted it and would like to help port CWM to my device, i was looking at this https://www.facebook.com/ClockworkMod/posts/480999728601013 and wanted to start from there but i dont know how to extract the stock recovery, any help? like i said its already rooted and i think that All ZTE devices have unlocked bootloaders so this is possible. yes i have googled it please dont bark at me.
Hi trozzul,
I too want to port it to cwm but am also not able to extract my stock recovery.
Have you tried flashify? There is an option for backup boot.img and recovery.img . I tried it but doesn't seems to work.
It does create a 0 byte file named recovery.img . Maybe it isn't working on my phone.You try it on yours.
Thankx

i sorta found out myself with playing around in a terminal emulator. would you happen to know what partition your phone is? BML or MTD? i dont know what todo if your device is BML but if you think its MTD you can try in the terminal emulator app (from play market) type in
Code:
cat /proc/mtd
enter this in and you will see around 20 MTD files. find the MTD file with "Recovery" at the end, type this in for instance (DO NOT use this code, its what my device showed the Recovery MTD for.)
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd12 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
and it will push your recovery to your SD card (in .img format), Pretty much say your recovery was MTD9 just put in that code but replace mtd12 with MTD9 mine was about 5MB i didn't know they were that small.

To extract your stock recovery what you can do is the following to determine which partition is the recovery partition. From terminal emulator or adb shell, go to the /cache/recovery directory and look for a file called log or last_log if you cd into the /cache/recovery directory you can read the log file with the cat command: cat last_log. In the log file you will see a list of the partitions on your device. One of these will be your recovery partition, remember which partition block is your recovery partition and then run the command:
Code:
cat /dev/block/yourrecoveryblock > /mnt/sdcard/recovery.img
Let me know if you still have questions.
I had already tried it .it's BML :/
Congrates to you

Clockworkmod recovery builder website has been hit and miss recently. Overall I would strongly recommend taking a look at this guide here that will teach you the basics of porting Clockworkmod Recovery to a new device, you will also learn a lot more doing it this way, as well as it being easier to fix any issues.

You have to use Linux or OSX but Ubuntu is highly recommended. You can't use command prompt as the Windows architecture isn't designed to build and cross compile for the architecture Android is based on. Yes, you could format your old computer and install Ubuntu on that and proceed from there.

Your machine meets the minimum specs for Ubuntu (Barley) you could also check out Xbuntu or Lubuntu as well, make sure you use a 64-bit version as Android building requires that. Keep in mind with those specs you should be able to build it will just take a while to compile. For learning the basics of the Linux command line, this is a great guide just ignore the parts about Windows Power Shell (Or don't ignore them and learn twice as much!). The system requirements for Ubuntu can be found here as well for your reference. Android building does't really deal with HTML, it does deal with Java but as always the more you know the better because it just makes it easier to learn from there.

Is the operating system installed 32-bit or is the the CPU itself in your computer a 32-bit processor because if it's just a 32 -bit operating system you can still install the 64-bit version. But if it's a 32-bit processor then I'm afraid your out of luck. What you can do however is setup Ubuntu in a virtual machine on your main computer using Virtualbox.

With Virtualbox you can setup Windows and Linux side-by-side and the good thing is if you mess something up in Virtualbox you regular windows installation is unaffected, I would highly recommend checking out this video walk though guide on how to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in Virtualbox. You can find out if you have a 32-bit processor or 64-bit processor by going to Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information (Or just search for System Information), then look at the System Type entry if it says x64-based PC you have a 64-bit processor if it says x86-based PC you have a 32-bit processor.

My apologizes for getting back to you so late @Trozzul I just finished with my finals the other day and didn't get home till much latter then anticipated hence the delay. While you could put in another 80 GB hard drive I would recommend picking up at least a 250 GB Hard Drive (They can be found online for about $30-$40), as that way you can be sure you won't run out of room and can have your main build environment all on one drive. But you can try it with the setup you have now and you can probably get away with it. As always let me know of any questions you have happy to help :highfive:.

My PC crashed on me and its so old I dont think I want to repair it. I have a powermac G4 so I cant even download heimdall because its only for intel based Macs. Ive quickly learned the ins and outs of flashing. I couldnt tell you the last time I bricked my cappy but now that I dont really have an option to recover I dont really want to take any chances. Is there a third option incase **** happens? I really dont want to get a new computer because my G4 is fast enough for the websurfing I do.

I don't have access to a PPC Mac so I haven't had a chance to test this. However I did attempt to develop Heimdall with support for PPC Macs.
You'll have to download the source package and make the following modifications:
In OutboundPacket.h after line 22:
#define OUTBOUNDPACKET_H

Then follow the instructions to compile (don't forget you need the libusb-1.0 SDK) and run Heimdall as usual you should hopefully be able to get Heimdall running on your G4.

Yeah. If you have no experience whatsoever compiling software then this might be a bit of a stretch.
First you need to install all the build tools. Whilst all of XCode technically isn't necessary, it's easiest if you just install the whole of XCode using the installer. XCode is probably included on your original OS X disk but if not you can download it for free from Apple's website.
Once you've installed XCode you need to install libusb 1.0.8 (http://www.libusb.org/). Then you need to get the Heimdall intel binaries and follow the instructions to install them. The intel binaries obviously won't work but it also makes some other changes which are required.
Then you need to use terminal to navigate (i.e cd) to the directory where you extracted the Heimdall source code. Once there you need to type:
config
make
sudo make install

If it complains on the first step, then type the following and retry:

Assuming Smallsmx3 doesn't mind running a virtual machine, then that is indeed a very good point It might work out to be simpler in this particular circumstance.

I recently used Frank's Tools to dual boot Ubuntu on my Tablet.
After I later realized it wasn't for me, I used the generic root kit to revert to android only OS.
I now see that my internal memory is only showing as 7.36 gb
I would like to know how I can go about recovering the partitioned memory
I have tried using frank's tools, and choosing android only but it gave me the error
"Nvflash started
nvflash configuration file error: file not found"
Some help would be much appreciated.
There should be a flash.cfg file in there- monkey around with the partition sizes and see if that fixes the issue.
I'm not familiar with Frank's tools, so can't help you there. My wild guess is that the rom files aren't unzipped and in the same folder as the nvflash executables.
You might try to download and flash the nvflash version of Prime or another custom rom since it will have the stock partition sizes.
Hi there go to little stevies thread download olife.sh and set up the enviroment put the rom you want in images boot.img system.img recovery.img
Run olife.sh and go to the option flash then select stock it will resize all the partitions and flash the rom you put in images i usually use the script just for flashing new roms makes sure i get a super clean install

I am very new to Linux and don't know much at all about their OS or ubuntu.
I know i can install it and dual boot my PC with ubuntu, or simply just run a VM of ubunt on my PC.
All i know to do in Ubuntu us open up the terminal by hitting Ctrl+alt+f i beleive
Can anyone show me a step by step way of doing so?
Stevies thread asumes you have knowlege of ubuntu, but I just don't.
Even better has anyone been able to acomplish this with windows?

You can have ubuntu run next to windows just download the wubi version from the website it lets you have dualboot and if you get sick of ubuntu you can just uninstall it like any other win program.
As for the steps to setting up there are 1000 youtube vids on how to set up adb etc on ubuntu and there very easy to follow
Once you have watched a few of those videos you will have a folder in your home folder called platform-tools thats where all the good stuff goes for android and thats where lil stevies thread pics up from..
I was completly new to linux and android when i got my gt540 but after 2-3days i was happy flashing and modding and now with my tf doing even more with the system.
If you have a little patience and dont mind watching a few youtube vids you can get the whole lot set up and done and ready for future use in an hr or so
Understanding it or what your doing is the part that will take 2-3 days lol

Okay this is REALLY freakin' irritating!!
I have been itching to cook up my own ROM in the kitchen...BUT I CAN'T EVEN USE IT!
I have tried installing it, multiple times (deleting everything each time to start fresh), and follow all instructions to the "T", and every single time I open Cygwin (after putting in the kitchen and renaming it) and "cd kitchen" enter "./menu", it always comes up saying "Error: The application 'gcc' is not installed - the kitchen will not function properly without it. Ensure you did not miss a step during installation! Refer to the Android Kitchen FAQ...", etc. (I could swear it installed devel > gcc when I installed Cygwin. Even used the Install all option and stuff...)
Checked out the FAQ and everything, but I still can't find it! Everything I try just doesn't work! Can someone please help?? (thank you)

Well, yes. It is.... I just figured it would be a lot more convenient to do everything on Windows instead.
There are times when it seems like things that were designed for Ubuntu don't really seem to work on the zorin distro. In this case, it probably will. I'm not really sure why I can't effectively connect to my phone though when in Zorin...maybe because there is a Kies for linux? I dunno...
I suppose I could try to install it though.
But anyways, more to the point! If cygwin/android kitchen was designed to also work in Windows XP/Vista/7, then why am I getting this error, and how do I fix it?
R: [Q] Android Kitchen "gcc not installed" error
Thats why i use kubuntu. Though i can't answer your question, i do know ubuntu and windows hate each other, getting that stuff to work is gonna probab be a pain.
If zorin has got problems try emulating a small os (so u dont waste too much time) based off linux (lucid puppy linux) and see if that works.
I wouldve thought people would also be modding android stuff directly on windows rather than emulating ubuntu stuff...after all android is open source.

Too bad I can't do it in Windows...
Yeah, it's dumb that we still can't directly modify Android from Windows and have to use Linux. Well, actually, not as much "dumb" as inconvenient. Linux is free, yet it's different. I think we should be able to do it anywhere due to Android being open source.
Oh well... I don't understand why no-one else is having this problem. They have the guides for it on here (beginner's guides to making ROMs and stuff like that), and it seems as though nobody else has had this problem...or nobody even uses Windows. orz
Hopefully someone else will attempt to answer my question. thanks though. <

You're probably right. I'm sure I'll be able to get used to it eventually, when I become a full developer. For now though, it's the learning curve. XD
Haha, yeah. That's good though. Windows is definitely enjoyable. (though I can't say much for W8. Ugh.)
So uh, I guess the Android Kitchen definitely works here in Zorin. Went to the menu without any problems. Funny still how it doesn't work in Windows....
You know, I'd probably have just skipped the whole kitchen thing and gone straight to development from source...but I'm not running on a x64 system, and therefore can't work on ICS and JB. :c
Soon though...very soon I will have all the parts to build my new computer, and not have to use this low-power laptop. >m>

Well, if I could go back in time 3 years I would be able to try and help you...I just tried it on Windows 10 here and everything works.
So, follow the instructions as far as even the cygwin_install.txt they provided. You should make sure you install /just/ the gcc-core and gcc-g++ when it tells you to tick the gcc (do not get the "cygwin gcc", idk if that did it, but just get the normal gcc). Follow all the others as well; far as I could tell the linux-util wasn't actually in utils (core instead I think?) but was already ticked, so don't worry about it unless it isn't.
After everything is done, make sure java is good to go and all, and cd to the kitchen location (just put the files in a new file, C:/kitchen/) and change directory to that. Then do the ./menu and it should work....
Also don't bump super old posts, not good. c: Either way I hope this helps. Real simple.
I really have no use for the kitchen anymore, since my GS3 gets CM nightlies (up to marshmallow? Wat!) and I have a Nexus 5X anyway so it's all gucci. But either way...yeah. It works to my knowledge.
Cheers~

THX for ur comment.
by the way how to create custom recovery for galaxy?
I'm glad to hear it's working for you! Hope you have great fun with it like I did. ^-^
And for the custom recovery...I say it's not really worth it unless you're really serious and can code. Not sure myself how one would make such a thing that has that access, you probably should ask somebody who's actually made them. Otherwise I strongly recommend either Team Win Recovery Project or ClockworkMod. (I use ClockworkMod, but most say twrp is better)
^-^
Hey everyone,
I'm going to compile my own ROM from cm. I'm following the guide, but it just says I need a "reasonable amount" of ram and storage. They link to an android instruction page, which states:
"Note: It is also possible to build Android in a virtual machine. If you are running Linux in a virtual machine, you will need at least 16GB of RAM/swap and 30GB or more of disk space in order to build the Android tree."
I don't want to download source for every device, just d2vzw. How much should I set aside in my VM? I've already given it 3 GB of RAM and 2 of my 4 cores at 100%.
I've installed Ubuntu and updated everything, going to install the SDK next and adjust my VM size as necessary.
Thank you.
Why use virtual machine to run Ubuntu? Set aside a partition with like 100gigs and install Ubuntu on that. Then you can boot into Linux or windows whenever you want.

well the only thing about that is it can be a pain in the butt to get grub off sometimes if he dosnt want to use ubuntu longterm id go with the virtualbox route and u only need about 30gigs for ubuntu and 3gigs of ram is more than enough.

NAIL ON THE HEAD. The grub thing is a pain. I've dual booted before, have tried out Ubuntu 9 and 10 in the past...
Anyway, I went ahead and figured out the VM stuff (VM is something I've been wanting to learn about anyway).
Now I'm stuck at the part in the guide where I'll be extracting the proprietary blobs. When I try to run an adb command, it gives me an error. I'm pretty sure I have all the USB filter stuff installed/enabled correctly... Currently updating everything in Ubuntu update manager. Hopefully I can get it going soon. I'm excited to build!

Is that a place to pull blobs? I actually managed to extract, but ty!
I successfully built, now trying to learn to modify.
Also, am I right to assume that the build guide pulls from the stable code base? How do I set it up to pull from the nightly code case? That Google voice hack is a deal making feature.

Don't get me wrong but do you really have a use for it or is it just about improving your development skills ?

I do. If I plug my phone in, and then turn on the display to see how far it has charged, the battery percentage is DROPPING! So, I created this. If you want faster charging than your USB port, use ADB over WiFi. But this did help me hone my skills.

Pretty cool for that specific purpose I just downloaded the zip and was just about starting my laptop to test it BUT the archive is damaged and i can't extract it May you please check the archive's integrity and upload it again?!
Sure!

Did that! Just make sure you can run bash. Your computer'll need linux or mac os x (not sure about mac)
If it helps, please press thanks.

BASH?! Never heard about it...
Manjaro Linux should be fine for it

Open the terminal, and its most likely your using bash. Bourne-Again SHell.
Just wondering, what is the orange "OP" rectangle next to "Junior Member", to the left of my post?

OP = overpowered or may be "Original Poster"
Is it possible that your tool only runs on 32Bit systems? I use 64Bit OS with multilib and no chance to make it fly / run or whatever you like

Yes it is built for 32bit systems but you should be able to run it on 64 bit as well. You need to unzip everything of course and make adb and dialog (in the same folder as the script) executable. The command is chmod +x adb && chmod +x dialog
To change it to 64-bit, you'll need to replace the adb and dialog files with the 64-bit versions.
You might need ia32-libs or somthing like that.
Also, OP I think it overpowering. You shall port it to Windows. You shall thank me. LOL, don't have to do it.

Im familiar with chmod Commandline version works well (see signature for phone's setups) while the guy version causes a never ending error output:
libgtk-3.so.0 shared libraries can't be found . All files are present in my Linux so I really have no clue, why i can't open it.

Are you using GNOME? You might need to install libgtk. But, like the readme file says, this is bit is still alpha (it's more beta than beta.. If that makes sense).
But if it helped, please press the " Thanks" button

It's pretty strange that it used "can't" instead of "cannot". Maybe try using gnome. I dunno, it works on mine.
I'm moving this to a DevDB now.
