[CWM][RECOVERY] ClockworkMod v6.0.0.X for the ZTE Skate - Touch and Non-Touch [UPDATED - 20/07]

[Guest tilal6991]

REMOVED DOWNLOAD LINK DUE TO RECOVERY WIPING SDCARD - WILL RETURN WHEN CWM6 is more stable.

This is a guide to install ClockworkMod recovery v6 for our Skates - both touch and non touch.

Please note that v4 backups are not compatible with this version of CWM.

YOU NEED TO RUN A CM BASED ROM TO USE THIS GUIDE

So you are on ClockworkMod v4 or v5 - how do you get to v6?

1. Download your chosen recovery - v6.0.0.9 - touch or non touch - REMOVED DOWNLOAD LINK DUE TO RECOVERY WIPING SDCARD
   
2. In terminal emulator:
   
   • su
     
   • erase_image recovery
     
   • flash_image recovery /sdcard/<YOUR RECOVERY IMAGE HERE>
     

• Reboot into recovery and you should have CWM 6 running!
  
  Bugs:

Will Koush actually release his sources then?

[Guest tilal6991]

No idea but I would say unlikely.

v4 backups are not compatible with this version of CWM.

How about 5.5 backups, they're compatible or not?

[Guest tilal6991]

Should be.

Got a problem (non-touch version): phone shuts down (power off, not reboot) after "Freeing space.." when making backup.

Works for me. Non touch cwm 6.0.0.6 now works

[Guest timoti111]

THX for this recovery it is much more faster than v5 :)

Same here. Touch version. Now go to test no touch.

Seems strange - just finished OK with touch version. But not sure that's properly made: it has a strange small files ".android_secure.vfat.dup" and "sd-ext.ext4.dup" instead of normal co-named tarballs and a "blob" folder with a lot of files into root "clockworkmod" folder. Tilal, is it normal or something going wrong?

I think that's meant to happen, looking at the code. Happens to me as well.

[Guest unomesmo]

With NO-Touch same but when finishing back-up. Freeing space and turned off itself.

Flashing TWRP again... thanks anyway

[Guest tilal6991]

New versions of touch and non touch up.

[Guest timoti111]

[Guest tilal6991]

Just tried both - it worked.

[Guest SingleWolf]

Just tried both - it worked.

OK, will retry after partition recovery completed.

[Guest szi1993]

Stable Version?

[Guest dejanmil]

Workes quite nice, after second try.

Tnx for contributing Lalit!

[Guest SingleWolf]

Found reason of problems in my case: sd-ext partition. After trying touch version I lose data on it so decide format SD completely. After doing that backup works fine, but if I create sd-ext partition problem returns back.

[Guest mhstrijbos]

Worked like a charm!

But what are the benefits over the previous versions....

[Guest tilal6991]

Faster backups, better looking, delete backups, better performance, touch navigation (if you choose)

[Guest razzmataz1478]

I've flashed touch version, reboot into recovery, it appears and then after 5 seconds I get a blank screen and nothing happens.
