Guest mogsog Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I had no problem at first doing this apart from I made the same mistake as ChrisPNE and now I have all of the usb drop outs that other users seem to be having. I've tried this on 2 systems so far, it is almost as if reflashing the recovery.img has caused these connectivity isseus. I am running out of ideas, if anybody has any suggestions I would be very thankful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it works yet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flym Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 added a guide for TWRP http://www.modaco.co...5/#entry2133090 Do I need to increase the recovery partition and flash TWRP if I'm perfectly fine with CWM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Do I need to increase the recovery partition and flash TWRP if I'm perfectly fine with CWM? No, its just for people that want TWRP rather than cwm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest moorish Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Having some difficulty booting in to cwm recovery in the V5 I just received. I can pull stock recovery and flash cwm just fine. No errors, get green circle in SP flash tool at the end. However, when rebooting with volume up and power, I don't get cwm, instead i get factory mode with the blue chinese writing. Any ideas? edit.. ok just figured it out...there is a hardware problem with the volume buttons. Edited June 30, 2013 by moorish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mogsog Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 kieranswhite and tillaz you are both legends. I used tillaz CWM rom and the video that kieranswhite posted on the general voweyv5 thread. I am not sure of your opinion on the process tillaz but I would definatly recommend to people who have any device pinging trouble (when the vowney shows in the com then disappears from the hardware list) to use this alternative method replacing the .img file on pandawill and instead using the one inside tillaz cmw mtk6589 file. I used the motochopper method of rooting the vowney due to the fact the pandawill one said that the adb server was out of date. MOTOCHOPPER root method for mtk6589 devices. http://www.mediafire.com/download/ge2eepcp816qxtc/motochopper+BY+djrbliss+on+droidrzr.com.zip The PandaWill tut with the guy showing off how strong the box is. http://www.pandawillforum.com/showthread.php?21213-ROM-Android-4-2-Samsung-S4-UI-Customizd-ROM-for-Vowney-V5-sku41873 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kieranswhite Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hi Guys !! i followed the TWRP guide to the letter in the 3rd or 4th post but i still have CWM any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bryfly Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Ace from Merimobile tech support pointed me in the direction of the flash tutorial below which I have found quite helpful. tillaz have a question, you mentioned before to use firmware upgrade as opposed to hitting the download button. Could you clarify which one you should use when, as all tutorials I have seen only mention hitting the download button. http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you clarify which one you should use when, as all tutorials I have seen only mention hitting the download button. http://bm-smartphone...g-tutorial.html you really should be asking mediatek this as they made the flash tool, but as far as i am aware the "download" button is for flashing part of a factory rom, and "firmware update" is for flashing the whole rom my advice would be to always try the download button first as this is what most people say works for them.

Guest jamjamjam Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the guide tillaz. I'm hope you don't mind but I thought I'd post an alternative method, which I found a little easier as a noob! ROOT Download the 6589 rooter http://d-h.st/H62 Follow this guide if you need ADB Drivers: http://droidchina.co...er-on-Windows-7 Unzip 6589 Rooter Check USB Debugging under System settings >Developer Options > Debugging Plug in phone Click run.bat in the mt6589_rooter folder Follow the on-screen instructions CWM Install Mobileuncle tools from Play market Put this recovery.img on your sd card: http://www.speedysha...sR/recovery.img Open Mobileuncle and give superuser permissions Go Recovery update and click recovery.img listed under 'Recovery file in SDcard' Click OK to the pop-up then OK again to the next pop-up You should reboot in to CWM where you can flash a custom rom Edited July 11, 2013 by jamjamjam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kieranswhite Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 That's what I used yesterday when the flash tool didn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rico_89 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 CWM Install Mobileuncle tools from Play market Put this recovery.img on your sd card: http://www.speedysha...sR/recovery.img Open Mobileuncle and give superuser permissions Go Recovery update and click recovery.img listed under 'Recovery file in SDcard' Click OK to the pop-up then OK again to the next pop-up You should reboot in to CWM where you can flash a custom rom Following the above method am I right in saying that every time I want boot into CWM I have to go through Mobile Uncle?

Guest kieranswhite Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 No not after it is installed its the same as normal cwm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rico_89 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 No not after it is installed its the same as normal cwm Ah Ok then this isn't working for me. After installing CWM using Mobile Uncle, it boots in CWM as the instructions indicate but then after that if I boot up with Volume +, it just boots into the stock Android recovery.

Guest jamjamjam Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 That's strange, maybe a stupid question but did you give mobileuncle root permission? Once in CWM for the first time have you tried installing a custom rom with CWM installed? I'm sure that would work and is what I did but I also thought CWM stayed regardless.

Yeah I have root and had to give Mobileuncle root permission also when I booted into CWM I flashed a GPS file, so it's working while I'm CWM recovery through MU. But when I try to boot into CWM with power/ volume+ I just boot into Android stock recovery.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rico_89 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Having an issue here, maybe someone can help; Every time I flash CWM it gets overwritten with the stock android recovery. I have tried mobile uncle and reflashed as instructed on page 1, however after it installs I can only boot into CWM once and then after shutting down, restart volume +, I boot back into stock android? What is going on? Anyone with any ideas? It worked perfectly before I upgraded but now CWM just wont stay installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked perfectly before I upgraded but now CWM just wont stay installed. after update I did cwm through mobileuncle, towards the end of the install I got a message something like " at reboot will overwrite stock recovery" I had to select yes or no, I selected yes and I can boot in and out of cwm fine. hope this helps however I always go to cwm via "rom manager" Edited July 18, 2013 by bryfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
