    1.8 update for CWM

    So I read the instruction on how to flash 1.8, installed the win8 drivers for my laptop etc.. but still no dice. The device gets mounted as ROCKCHIPS (or something) but the flash tool never sees it and never says 'device found' to reboot to flash mode. Even the alternate flash tool didn't help. I have access to a different PC that I know will work (I used it to flash 1.7) but all this seems cumbersome.

    Is there a reason why we aren't producing CWM flashable updates ? Maybe its just because I have been flashing roms on my phone for years with CWM and am familiar with the process but I am thinking its way easier to download the ROM on to SD, reboot to recovery and flash. This can all be done without getting up from my couch (Yes I am VERY lazy).

    With Bob's permission, I can look into repackaging finless 1.8 for CWM if there is interest.

        One thing you cannot get with a CWM update is the ability to change the partitioning of NAND for more APP space etc.
        So if you want to repartition you must use the flash tool.

        Thanks Leolas for helping with the CWM style update.

          Thanks Leolas! Worked liked a charm!

          FYI - I stuck with CWM for MK802III .. seems to be good so far.
