Maybe I'm just to stupid to search the web correctly, but after 3 days of research I could really need some advise...
I have a Mediacom 907c Tablet and want to install Cyanogen.
@Christian Troy provided roms, gapps and compatibility-files for CM9 and CM10 but only his links for the compatibility-files are still working.
Where am I supposed to get the rom and gapps from now?
My other question regards CMW. The ROM Manager app does not recognise my tablet, so I guess I have to "download the update.zip myself" as described here. But where do I get the update.zip? Does is need to be a specific version for my device?
Thanks for any hint!
Managed to install Clockworkmod (CWM) with these files and instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189640 by @dolorespark.
But I am still desperate, because the links to the rom zip-files by @Christian Troy are all dead.
Why would he stop providing them while he is still providing the compatibility zip-files?

I have ported this recovery from Motorola Defy.
Big thanks to Epsylon3 and TWRP team.
WARNING: Use it at your own risk !!!
It has been tested on my MIUI v4 (ICS) ROM.
BUGs:
- restoring system from nandroid doesn't work
- not working with GB ROMS
Download
Only recovery.
Recovery and ICS bootmenu.
You can use Only recovery package if you don't have ICS ROM installed.
This recovery only replaces recovery in bootmenu.
Anyone tested the bootmenu version with CM9?
It should be working, because I have used bootmenu in MIUI v4 from CM9.
You can also flash only recovery package. It won't delete your bootmenu, it will only replace recovery. Only recovery package won't work, if you don't have bootmenu already.
With bootmenu package replace the whole bootmenu also with recovery.
doubt: why change to this recovery?
Look into Defy thread about it or on the official site: www.teamw.in/project/twrp2

yeah, now I can see the reason...
but I think you should explain how to install it. Can we install via CWM (?), before or later install the ICS ROM (?), can we install it with a GB ROM (?), etc
I installed the recovery only version as i already have bootmenu and i dont have ics. It says it is conpleted and i just need to reboot recovery but i dont see the option from my recovery menu so i just rebooted the phone. I reentered recovery but i still have the same recovery. Choosing latest, stable or stock does not show me the twrp recovery. I then tried to install again but the same thing happens no twrp. Did i miss something?

Yeah, will both the recovery and bootmenu work with GB ROMS? I'd like it on will5's MIUI 2.5.25 GB 2.3.7. Thanks in advance!

I have only tried it with ICS. When I will have some spare time, I will try it with GB roms.
I agree that some more detailed description and "how-to" guide would be useful.
To be honest, I'm not sure what exactly is better on TWRP recovery and why would I prefer it over CWM (what's its functions?), what can it do? How it looks (some screens would be nice)?
How to install it?
I appreciate all your work, so don't take it as (rude) criticism, but as an idea for an improvement of this topic
I bet, it would be way more interesting and more people would use it, if there will be informations, I mentioned above.

Since it doesn't have specified the requirements I pushed the files with right permissions over bootmenu 0.8.6(yes old, but i didn't know about requirements), so adding missing files, patching one script I got it running, touch UI, everything nice, but but but, I fixed the backup, backed up system, then tried to restore and oh surprise, rm -rf /system and then nothing happened. The result? the recovery deleted the whole system folder. so, my progress is on a .tar nandroid that i can't restore(the usual way)...So be CAREFUL.
Sorry about that, I have tested it only with MIUIv4 (ICS) with lastest bootmenu from CM9.
I have never try to restore system from nandroid, I'm always using update.zip for restoring system.
Thanks for your feedback.
Hello,
Does anyone experienced problems to mount sdcard ?
Kind reagrds,
First off, I just switch to my first android phone from iOS, so although I have plenty of experience jailbreaking and unlocking over there, I'm new to this, so hand-holding is appreciated
I have a developer XT926 phone. Fastboot says it's unlocked with status code 1. It came running 4.0.4, and I rooted it using motofail2go. I now want to install CyanogenMod 10.1 (or some other version 4.2 rom that you guys think is better), as described here. However, I have been unable to find detailed instructions on how to install it after booting into recovery mode. (I'm guessing those steps are well-know on xda, but forum and google searches didn't help.)
Additionally, since I have an unlocked dev phone, can I install one of these unsigned roms directly, or will I need to first install clockworkmod, safestrap, etc (and if so, any advice on which one).
Thanks the any help you can give me
You need to install a custom record very like twrp or cwm. Either is fine and you can easily switch later if you want to try them both out. Once you have your custom recovery installed, you'll need to boot into recovery. From there you will v be able to backup your current setup followed by a factory wipe and ROM install. Good luck

Thanks. So I have twrp installed and working, and made a successful backup. I was about to install CW 10.1, when I noticed comments that it seems to have a lot of issues. What rom would you recommend I install? Liquidsmooth? Eclipse? CM 10.1 anyway? Thanks again!

I'm an Eclipse man myself.
Okey, first of all Im pretty noob in this topics, second of all my english is not that good. Third, my mobile is a GT-S7500L
By some reason I uninstalled the play store, so I wanted it back, I downloaded Rom manager or CWM I think so I could install Gapps in recovery like I read, the thing is I installed the wrong one, because I had GB and the Gapps were for ICS. After that I rebooted and the GB didnt run, after rebooting just the CWM window started. So I decided to install the stock rom. I searched it in SAMmobile I think, I dowloaded it and the screen send me a message that says (bad) cant install. So I downloaded other two custom roms from here, Jellybread and elruki-rom, these roms install normal, but after pressing reboot, the phone still send me to the screen of CWM, I mean its says installation complete but after y reboot, it still send me to the CWM screen!
Please someone help me, I really need my phone for work. I need to know how to fix it, or at least know that I can fix it and its not completely wasted. Helppp pleasee!!!

Hey thanks for answering, I fixed the boot problem yesterday, the problem now is Im with a custom rom, gellybread, do you know where can I find the stock rom? I searched in Sammobile but when I download it, it doesnt work, its a zip, do you know where can I find it? Gellybread works good but there's a bug and I cant use wifi.
Or maybe Im doing it wrong, the Rom is .zip, how do I flash that kind of files?
Thanks for your help

Hey, I want to install the AOKP ROM that I found here, but I need CWM 6.0.4 in order to flash it, but I already have a version of CWM in my Tablet. How do I update my CWM? Do I just install it as if i didn't have any CWM? Or is there something else I should do? Bascially, what am I supposed to do in order to update CWM? Thanks!

Just go ahead and flash the latest version from within your CWM recovery. BTW, may want to try TWRP because CWM is no longer going to be maintained. or updated. Just an FYI You can find the latest here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548476
I have the Kyocera hydro xtrm, I've already rooted, and would like to install new Rom using Rom installer. But it seems that there isn't a Twrp recovery for my device, at least not that I can find. I would like to have a recovery available before attempting to flash new ROM. Can anyone please help?
Thanks, dannypipes9
