Hi fun!
Just to confirm my suspicion i flashed the m701 HY 4G recovery image to my m701 2GB.
All it gave me was a corrupted 'android' screen and got stuck there.
so no comon recovery file for both versions :'(

Thank you for your work!

(btw, is it possible to unpack these updates and adopt them for the old NAND chips or is there more different in the new models?)

Has anyone with a 4gb M701R successfully installed the Clockwork recovery mod? I can not get it installed. Everything seems to work fine, up until 'reboot recovery' and it just reboots normally.

Hm.... Also try adb reboot recovery? The recovery image should be compatible (especially the one built by naobsd. always has worked in the past).

SilentKnight may i ask if the new firmwares are android 2.2 ?
because some people seem to refere to it as 2.2 and with the beta 2.2 release for the 2gb model i could not install clockworkmod too,
it was the same effect you describe. the install seems to work fine, then the 'reboot recovery' is a normal reboot.

Nope, I am on Android 2.1.

Does anyone know if there are any 'obvious' steps that I a missing? .. this is what I am doing..

USB cable in, debug mode on, power cord plugged (and unplugged)..
adb push recovery.M701-0111.img /nand/recovery.M701-0111.img
adb shell sync
adb shell flash_image recovery /nand/recovery.M701-0111.img
adb shell sync
adb reboot recovery (and adb shell reboot recovery)

Perhaps run dd on mtdblock6 (or whatever recovery is) and verify that the partition is checked.

Otherwise, I am not sure how to backtrace this error. When you run adb reboot recovery or adb shell reboot recovery, open up cat /proc/kmsg and a logcat in a separate window.

I reflashed a stock firmware and tried reboot recovery, and it just rebooted normally. I am guessing this is not typical behavior?

I also tried the cat and logcat commands, I had 3 cmd prompts open did reboot recovery in 1 and ran the other commands in the other, but there was too much information and I did not see anything that stood out. logcat, just provided some information, and the very second I entered reboot recovery on the other window, the logcat window provided no further information.

No, that is not the way old m701 did it =(
we had a minimal recovery console that allowed to flash a 'update.zip' from the SD card if i recal it right.
but that was gone in the (official) 2.2 firmwares.

So probably there is simply no jump to a recovery option inside the boot sequence. *just a guess*

Confirmed, I tried both (clockwork and official), but always reboot on android normally, not recovery.
Device is HaiPad M701-R (4 GB, HY, non BT, #186)

Thank you fun_
Still not working for me

I've a M701-R, HY, 4 GB, #186

on ADB:
adb push recovery.M701-0111.img /nand/recovery.M701-0111.img
adb shell sync
adb shell flash_image recovery /nand/recovery.M701-0111.img
adb shell sync
adb reboot recovery (and adb shell reboot recovery)

but reboot normally in Android
also push the official recovery but only I can get normal boot
Re-flased again with FW20110111, and after the fresh flash stil I can,t boot on ofiicial or cw recovery.

cat /proc/mtd show this:

# cat /proc/mtd
cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00a00000 00200000 "boot"
mtd1: 00600000 00200000 "kpanic"
mtd2: 09600000 00200000 "system"
mtd3: 00400000 00200000 "splash"
mtd4: 02800000 00200000 "cache"
mtd5: 12000000 00200000 "userdata"
mtd6: 00a00000 00200000 "recovery"
mtd7: 00200000 00200000 "misc"
mtd8: 00200000 00200000 "tcc"
#

UPDATE:

I didn't keep the (O) button before
Pressing the button during the boot process, now the CW recovery works! Perfect!
Thanks to -Mr- & fun_

What process did you use to boot into CW recovery?

Edit: Nevermind i got it. this is what i did
Hold the Back button (labeled as menu), switch the on/off switch to on, then press the round button next to the screen then press the back button again and hold the round button.

Front menu button pressed during the boot proccess, until you get the recovery menu screen (splash, wait => droid logo in left upper corner, wait => recovery menu screen, OK)
