Guest bryfly Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) have a read of this, sounds like the same problem on win 8 http://chinaphoneare...ead.php?tid=636 post #4 might be your answer "Have you disabled digital driver signature? For flashtool you need MTK6589 USB VCOM drivers! Open device manager, open flashtool, plug in your phone and install driver manually with open flashtool! First you have MT65xx Preloader in device manager for two seconds when you plug, double click and install driver manually. Then you should have MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port! Now it should be installed correctly." here are the VCOM drivers from the site http://www.solidfile...m/d/9662ae99a8/ As an old crinkly im rapidly losing what hair i have left..... Have now Gone to a windows 7 pc, as i cannot make it work on windows 8 I have disabled digital driver signature still cannot make this cwm install on my phone Tried it with battery,sdcard and sim out Tried it with battery, sd card and sim in Tried it with usb debug active and inactive Installed pda net driver as tillaz suggested. then removed as it did not help Still getting read flag as N/A opened device man flash tool but could not see preloader for 2 secs Edited June 20, 2013 by bryfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rico_89 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Try with SD card in but battery out. Also turn off your Anti Virus.. that might be stopping it from working. And don't worry it will install :) , but it can be a bit tricky the first time you do something like this. Edited June 20, 2013 by Rico_89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rico_89 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) That guide is for a windows 8 PC isn't it? If you're using a Windows 7 then, with your phone turned on, just plug your phone into your Win7 PC and if you can see and access your phone through your computer then you should have all the drivers you need. If you can access your phone, then remove it from your Win 7 pc, then turn your phone off and follow the full tutorial to install CWM.

Yes that's seeing the phone. Now disconnect your phone from your PC. And turn it off. Now Follow the guide to install CWM :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tillaz Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 yeah, if your on windows 7 i would suggest using the tool to remove the drivers then reboot the pc, then starting the guide again, ignore the N/A thing i get that to, it changes to this after you add the scatter file (look before you add it and you will see). if you still have no luck try this guide to install the VCOM drivers manually (reboot and try again) the guide says MTK6577 but the drivers are actually all the same and is the installation on the PC. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206421 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bryfly Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Eureka..........cracked it........cheers downloaded some more drivers and went back to windows 8, drivers in this time and went fine now got cwm, can it be updated to the newer one that you use your finger to scroll it?

Guest Rico_89 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Great news bryfly :) . I doubt a different CWM can be installed because the recovery partition is only 6mb so Tillaz had to reduce the size of CMW as much as he could. The only other option would be to increase the size of the partitions but that would be a headache for very little gain because you don't use recovery all that much.

Guest ChrisPNE Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 When I plug my phone it at the read back stage nothing happens. In the 'read flag' column it says n/a not PageSpare as in the screenshots. Also when entering the hex's, I don't have the middle ReadFlag options. What am I doing wrong?

I've completed the flashing CWM steps with 100% on both but when I booted in recovery it said Android system recovery (3e). :/ Edit: My bad! I had it pointing at my stock recovery.img. Successfully flashed CWM now. :) Edited June 20, 2013 by ChrisPNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flym Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 It was a pain to get this to work. Had every problem Bryfly had, but thanks to all the tutorials and suggestions by tillaz and others I was able to get it working. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
