Discussion on development progress

[razor950]

I am just making this thread as discussion to what is/will be written in my progress thread which is this one http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/huawei-tablets/3256-updated-12-12-things-i-am-working.html.
I will not stick this because there is way too many sticks already and I am assuming this thread will stay active, it has no need for a sticky

Currently, I assume some/many might discuss about fastboot, so feel free to ask questions on that.

Hi Razor950,

First of all, thank you very much for your hard work.

Have you been able to pull a recovery image while in bootloader?

Thanks!

 

[razor950]

if you want to backup recovery partition to dump the stock recovery, you can just use dd while in android. You can flash recovery and boot via android too but fastboot allows you to boot a boot.img without flashing, which means if your stuck in a bootloop, just give it a bit and it'll reboot with the boot partition instead of the boot.img.

The issue I have is I can't get adb to work in recovery, I've tried quite a few things and for some reason it just doesn't

Nice, thanks for your effort on this Razor!

Greetings from Brazil!

What is adb saying when in recovery?

 

[razor950]

nothing, devices doesn't show up in adb. I am thinking either usb isn't initialized via recovery but its the same kernel and I've tried to start adb including the adb driver (msc_adb) but nothing.

I've done recovery for a few tablets already, so I don't know why this one is such a headache

 

[jcabibi]

Hmmmm.... That's weird. I am going to mess with this when I get home and will let you know if I find any useful information.

I am happy with the progress on recovery(by perivarlura) and I'm release my *WIP* vendor on my github. I was gonna release it regardless but I thought about it and its better sooner then later.

I'll give access to anyone who wants to help, once recovery is done, 2.2 should be worked on.
