[Q] [P780] ROM and CWMs?

Hi all!
I just bought my P780 from china retailer. Turns out the stock ROM doesn't support GSM lower than 2100 MHz. I've rooted my phone, so I'd like to know is the any CWM 6 recovery and how to flash it to the phone?
And is there any link to download another country's ROM so I can use my SIM?
Thanks and best regards.

CWM means clockworkmod recovery.
it does not need to be flashed
to get it,
1)get cwm zip file for your device.(use google)
2)then put that file in root directory of your sdcard
3) boot your phone in recovery mode and select cwm zip file.
then it would start cwm recovery

i think there is no rom for making your sim card usable
please hit THANKS....

I managed to install CWM English using MobileUncle. Is there any ROM I can install via CWM, because the ones n needrom seems to be very difficult.

yes there are many roms available

can u tell me how to use the flashtool from the beginning since it is my first time

it is recommended to take a nandroid backup before this flashing
ok if you need to flash rom from cwm than follow steps :
1) boot in recovery mode
2) wipe data
3) select apply update from sdcard and then select CWM file.
4) after CWM opens select your rom zip file
5) now flashing of new rom will start.
6) wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode only.
7) now reboot your phone.....
rom file is a zip file which can be obtained by searching on google.
***download rom file which is only applicable for your phone*
othervise your phone will brick***
this guide is applicable to all android phones......

You need to do much for flashing a custom rom..
You need to do a full wipe before flashing a rom not just data.
and you don't need to wipe data/factory reset since flashing a Custom rom will automatically wipe all data.
Also on some phones mostly HTC phones you need to Flash Boot.img manually when S-ON.

oh ok......

[MOD][SCRIPT] Super WIPE Script HTC One | Aroma GUI (upd.18/03/2015)

This tool will allow you to easily WIPE system, data (except /data/media), boot (kernel) and cache partitions directly from custom recovery.
Before using this tool you need to be sure you are using latest version of custom recovery (TWRP or CWM). The current downloads for both CWM and TWRP can found below:
The latest M7 U/UL TWRP can be downloaded HERE. I recommend to use TWRP 2.6.3.0 (for v1.0.2d) and TWRP 2.8.5.* (for v2.0.2) .
v1.0.2d will work for Intarnational version, GE, T_Mobile, AT&T but NOT for SPRINT DEVICE
and v.2.0.2 - for all version!!!
To use this tool please copy zip file to your phone and then boot into custom recovery and choose Install. Then browse to where you copied zip file and select it. Aroma installer will begin. Choose options you want to run.
What script does:
1. Wipe /cache partition (select in Aroma);
2. Wipe delvik-cache (select in Aroma);
3. Wipe /system partition (select in Aroma);
4. Wipe /data partition except /data/media (select in Aroma);
5. Format boot partition (kernel) and removes /system/lib/modules (select in Aroma);
/system/lib/modules
/system/etc/init.d/01-h2w
/system/etc/init.d/01-pwp
/system/etc/init.d/01-therm
/system/etc/init.d/01-blinkbuttons
/system/etc/init.d/01-f2s
/system/etc/init.d/01-f2w
/system/etc/init.d/01-f2ws
/system/etc/init.d/01-f2wt
/system/etc/init.d/01-p2w
/system/etc/init.d/thoravukk
system/etc/init.d/89elementalx
/system/etc/init.d/99elementalx
/system/etc/init.d/99elementalx~
/system/etc/init.d/99bulletproof
/system/etc/init.d/56zram
/system/etc/init.d/30sweep2wake
/system/etc/elementalx.conf
/system/bin/fstrim
/system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
/sys/android_touch/sweep2wake
/sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake
/sys/android_touch/logo2wake
/sys/android_touch/pocket_detect
/sys/android_touch/logo2menu
5. Removes some system files from /data/media;
/sdcard/.android_secure
/sdcard/.bookmark_thumb1
/sdcard/LazyList
/sdcard/LOST.DIR
/sdcard/.data/footprints
/sdcard/.data/mail
sdcard/Android/data/com.android.providers.media
/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget.news-content-cache
/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps
/sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary
6. Check partitions for errors;
7. Create a log of work on internal memory card.
This operation will remove all your data except for /data/media.
If you wipe ONLY BOOT, then you must to flash new kernel and kernel modules too (/system/lib/modules)!
Make sure that you have nandroid backup and Titanium backup before a full wipe!!!
You must have new ROM on /data/media to flash after full wipe!!!
If AROMA Installer stops at 0%, then you must to press Power button and hold 15-17 seconds to reboot. Then go to recovery and start installation again. This will help you.

You must select all of items then will be deleted data, system, cache the boot partitions, after that you can return back into recovery, choose Install and select rom to flash.
This script makes a wipe as well as in TWRP recovery. It's more convenient to use script for somebody ...

isnt wiping the boot partitions dangerous?

In TWRP all the same, except wipe of boot partition. And there is no partition format /data/media in this script.
Boot partition can be flashed into bootloader (fastboot usb) through:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or through:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip boot.zip
(If you S-OFF you can put into zip 2 files: boot.img and android-info.txt, if s-on - signed firmware.zip)
or into custom recovery (zip).
It's dangerous to delete HBOOT partition! In this case - bricks. If you erased boot partition then you can enter into bootloader and recovery and restore all things! ...

so are u telling me that yr script is different from wiping in TWRP ?
So yr script dont delete Hboot partition?

Do not worry! :laugh:
This script don't delete Hboot partition!

so its safe to use?

I checked all items of script on myself. All safe. And if someone does not think before to do something, it is always dangerous!

Awesome, been using a wipe script for the galaxy nexus, great to have one for the One, thanks OP!

when i use this script.
checked all options and wipe.. no rom and no kernel on my phone?
flash now a rom without choose fullwipe in aroma..
why all my apps on phone, my own homescreen?

[XOOM] How To: Undo BigPart Repartition!

NOTE: This is for users who did the BigPart Repartitioning (probably for flashing a 4.4.2 ROM) on their Xoom and for any reason want to go back to normal.
What You Need:
-TWRP 2.6.3.0 touch recovery from @runandhide05
-TWRP 2.6.3.0 BigPart touch recovery from @runandhide05 (if you're reading this you should already have this installed no need to download)
-Your Favorite Standard Partition ROM
Instructions:
1. Reboot Into Recovery (You should have already installed TWRP2.6.3.0 BigPart)
2. Flash the non-BigPart TWRP 2.6.3.0 (Do not Reboot)
3. Tap the Home Icon
4. Wipe > Advanced > WIPE Davlik, System, Cache, Data and Internal Storage
5. Tap Home
6. Reboot into Recovery (Ignore NO OS and Ignore SuperSU)
7. Booting the nonBigPart Recovery will take a while just be patient.
8. Ignore the “Password” screen > Tap Home
9. Wipe > Format Data > Type “yes”
10. Wipe > Advanced > WIPE System and Cache
11. Tap Home
12. Reboot Into Recovery (Again Ignore No OS and SuperSU)
13. Mount > Sdcard, Cache, and Data should be checked; System should be unchecked. Tap the box next to System, make sure that it mounts without any errors, and then unchecked it again. If you've made it this far, you’re back to the standard partitions.
14. Now you can Flash your favorite Standard Partition ROM and corresponding GApps.

[Q] CWM Recovery - Install CWM Backup from Zip?

(Unlocked and rooted Moto G with Mokee ROM)
I've read the similar threads and I'm still unsure, so hopefully someone here can clarify this for me.
I want to free up some space. Can I zip up a CWM Recovery directory, like so: 2014-03-29-18.54.23-google.zip
and then if required: boot into CWM Recovery > Install from zip ....
i.e. would that be the same as ... boot into CWM Recovery > Backup & Restore > Restore from SDCard ....?
If so then that would save me about ar400 MB (just for my stock ROM backup).
Also, can CWM recovery install from .7z as well as .zip?
Any and all help much appreciated.
C.
EDIT: To be more specific I mean:
1) adb pull the CWM backup from the moto g
2) zip it in Win7
3) adb push it back to the moto g
4) then use "install from zip"

Anyone?
C.

No thats not possible ich think. Just activate compression while creating the backup.
You need twrp or PhilZ advenced CWM for it

Oh, okay. Thanks for the info. I'll look into PhilZ CWM.
Cheers,
