For whatever reason the cwm isnt permanent, which I kind of like, the update.zip must be applied EVERYTIME you want to BOOT CWM!

It sounds like Coby's using the Dell Streak "install-recovery.sh" trick. In the Dell Streak, that .sh file is a script that overwrites the existing recovery with the stock one on every boot. Take a look at the .sh files in your tablet and see if you can find one that does this very thing. If there is one, rename the extension to .disabled and that should allow the recovery to persist upon rebooting.

No he compiled a ramdisk recovery (temporary recovery) that is the way that type of recovery works, I compile permanent recoveries. I build (temporary recovery) just for testing new devices, not for release to public, Once I am ready to release a recovery I releases permanent recovery.

? I am not following you

If you are talking about the above post I was just trying to explain to Traveller1701 why you need to flash it each time, it's a per use recovery. Traveller1701 thought that the recovery was being flashed back to stock on each boot, via a script, but in reality it's always stock, just during temp recovery, cwm is usable.

[Traveller1701]

Indeed. I'm not familiar with temporary recoveries and stock Dell Streak units had this behavior by default via the script, thus my comment. Of course, I probably would become intimately familiar with them if I had a spare moment to actually get up to speed on building custom recoveries and ROMs.

Are all 3rd gen devices Tcc892x? If so could you tell me where you found the source code? From the telchips website i downloaded their kernel and ics zip but Im not sure if that is the right one for mid1042. Right now i am ding a repo sync for the android 4.0.4r2 provided by google.

you will still have to build the kernel and set up makefile and board config, this is the source for the chipset its not device specific

Your tablet is allwinner not telechips, no way this kernel will work on your tablet.
