    [CWM] CWM 6.0.2.8 for A10 & A13 Tablets

    I've posted several varieties of CWM 6.0.2.8 to my Google Drive:


    Unlike earlier versions, these will not erase the partition or SD card containing the update.zip you've just installed. Also, the button assignments should be what you'd expect: Vol- / Vol+ move the highlight up or down, Power selects, and any other button acts as a Back button. If your tablet has capacitive (touch) buttons and uses an ft5x touchscreen controller, they will act as Back buttons as well.

    Installation

    The files are packaged as update zips and can be installed from your existing stock or CWM recovery. Alternately, you can unzip the file and install it from a normally-booted system using a script.

    From Recovery: Copy the entire file sill zipped to your internal or external (removable) SD card. Reboot into Recovery, then choose 'install zip from sdcard'.

    From a Running System: Unzip the file and copy recovery.img and install-recovery.sh to your internal or external SD card. Next, either run "adb shell" or open the Terminal app, then change the directory to where you stored the files. If you're using Terminal, start by running "su" to get root access (you should already have it if using adb). Now, type in "sh install-recovery.sh" then press Enter. Messages will appear telling you whether it succeeded or failed.

    Which version should I choose?

    Do I have an A10 or A13? From an adb shell or from the Terminal Emulator app, run "cat /proc/cpuinfo". Look next to the 'Hardware' entry: it should say either "sun4i" (A10) or "sun5i" (A13). If it says anything else, don't use these files.

    Do I have 9 or 10 partitions? From an adb shell or from the Terminal Emulator app, run "cat /proc/partitions". If the last entry is "nandi", you have 9; if it's "nandj", you have 10. If you choose the wrong version, everything else will work correctly but CWM won't be able to mount your internal SD card (a.k.a. '/emmc'). If so, try installing the other version.

    The Google drive is set to DL single files contained in the zip

    Hi,
    Thanks for this!
    The links don't have an option to DL the Zip file only the files contained.

      On the page where it shows you the content, there's a menubar below the name of the file. Click on File->Download.
      Note: this is the menu on the page, not on your browser.

          I have no idea. However, YOU can answer your question very easily. Read section entitled Do I have an A10 or A13? and follow its instructions.

            CWM 6.0.2.8 for A10 & A13 Tablets - v2

            I've updated these files to fix a few things:

            * the reboot recovery menu item on the Advanced menu now does what it's supposed to
            * fixed a syntax error in install-recovery.sh
            * assigned additional key values to the navigation (up/down) functions, so each button should do something (some users reported that the Vol +/- buttons didn't do anything)

              PMID701C -booting into recovery

              I've got a PMID701C/I w/A10 processor, but I don't have the hardware +/- volume buttons. How do I get into recovery once I install it?

                I have the same tablet and flashed over Elektrik's rom yesterday which has CWM integrated into the image file. He uses a Rebooter App that gives you the option to Shutdown, Reboot, or Reboot to Recovery. I tried it out and works perfectly. The power button selects the option, and two of the other three (Home, Menu, Back) moves the cursor.

                  The only caution I'd make with replacing the CWM I have with Doloresparks is to make sure you know 'which' CWM you're supposed to be using-there is a reason for two different recoveries depending on the device and even the ROM on the device (a perfect example is a PMID4311 using either the stock ROM or Doloresparks Cyanogen(JB) or my (ICS) ROM. They have different partition layouts).
