CWM recovery for rk3066 devices.

Re: CWM recovery for rk3066 devices.

I've found this thread only today (I have the mk808 for about 2 weeks), but I'm happy, that CWM recovery exists to this device. CWM recovery alread helped me to avoid some "heart attacks", when I tried something with my phone, and it didn't succed
Of course, it's not a replacement to Titanium Backup.

For me is better than titanium for panic moments, when I really need my device and my experiments hang it is so easy enter in recovery and restore a working moment in 5 minutes with all working and configure property

Tip for the mk802iiis users, if you want to backup to external sd you must first extract it and put it inside again. Otherwise you will have a mount error.

Nice

[tork]

Thank you very much I will try this today, and let you know. Again thank you for your help.

Thank you all it worked perfect.

NO! Do not erase NAND, as that will remove your kernel, boot image, etc. Just do the dirty flash of the recovery.img by flashing ROM with only the recovery box checked.

Re: CWM recovery for rk3066 devices.

Yes exglynco is right, don't erase IDB nand, the rest is very well explained :clap :clap

leolas, correct me if I'm wrong. I being correct, will be useful for tork.

tork, if you installed the Finless ROM 1.7, so I'll assume you know how to do get into flash mode and also know other things.
0) Open ROM Flash Tool.exe
1) Enter the flash mode
2) Extract the recovery.img from file MK808B_CWM.zip, rename it to recovery-cwm.img and place it in the folder FinlessROM (this step is only to facilitate the next step)
3) Let marked only the "recovery" and set the path FinlessROM\recovery-cwm.img (see image)
4) Click Erase NAND (BDI). That part I'm not sure! Caution! You can delete your files!
5) And last click Flash ROM




PS: I did not by this method! And want to know if by this method step by step is as I described here! I have an MK808 with Finless 1.6 and the method used was the update.zip.

Thanks for the info, great page to read for first timers like me. I opened it up and confirm I do have a rk903. Downloading the CWM.zip again gave me the same error. Can you help me step by step to install the recovery.img from finless ROM.

Tomorrow I will write a guide with screenshots and step by step how to use this. I hope to found any time, if tomorrow I can't the next day I will do it for sure

Sure, I will try, to see what is your mk808b I post a guide to identify all the versions I have seen in forums, I will give you the link when I arrive home, but basically you need to open your device and take a look in your wifi chipset, rk903 is the "original" mediatek are the clones.

Here is a faq I suggest you read there, I think you find useful info there

Re: CWM recovery for rk3066 devices.

I will download again and try, how can I tell if I have a mediatek or rk903 chipset. Maybe I needed to download the Mediatek zip file?

I'm new at this can you walk me through step by step on how to install the recovery only from finless Rom. Thank you for your help.

Rk3066 is the processor and main chipset, the difference between mk808b is the wifi chipset rk903 or mediatek chipsets. No problems installing it in this way. I suggest you download it again, if it fails again, try to install it by rk tools included in finless Rom, install only recovery.,
