recovery.img

you did make a dump right? in your dump you should see a recovery.img

Ok no ideal, why you can't mount sdcard.

 

[mtarek93]

What's ideal? Excuse my ignorance

I don't know why you can't mount sdcard, unless it's corrupt.

 

[mtarek93]

But I can access it normally from the OS :S
I can also format from Windows.

Sorry been busy, use sideload to install the zip.

in cwm choose install zip from sideload

then in cmd window

adb sideload path/to/file

example

adb sideload '/home/vampirefo/Desktop/cm10_cm9_7042/CM10_7042_test.zip'

 

[mtarek93]

No problem, I've been away for some time too.

Still not able to install the zip. When I type adb sideload I get a list of adb commands.

I think my adb version does not support sideload.

 

[mtarek93]

Can I have a link for the latest ADB version?

 

[vampirefo.]

I don't know anything about windows adb on Linux I build my own.
Might have to google it.

I upgraded ADB and I was able to use sideload

Thanks for your help.

8042_recovery_signed.zip

how did you install the first recovery? do you have a micro sdcard? the 6.0.1.1 recovery may only work with micro sdcard, been so long ago can't remember.

anyway boot into desktop mode extract 8042_recovery_signed.zip place recovery.img on sdcard

adb shell

su

cat /sdcard/recovery.img > /dev/block/nandg

echo -n boot-recovery | busybox dd of=/dev/block/nandf count=1 conv=sync; sync; reboot

Wow, a 28 recovery for our coby's. Tested this on my 7042 and it seems to run fine. Backed up, restored from an earlier backup, and sideloaded a zip file. Is there any problem using this other than the 8042 label?

 

[vampirefo.]

No problem using it, 7042, 8042, 9742 kernels are almost the same.
