[Q] Steps to install clock work mod recovery. - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

i have rooted my phone b518 gingerbread.
now i want to install clock work mod recovery.
i have installed es explorer and remount app.
now please tell me detailed steps ( i am new) to install cwm. tell in detail which app should i open and then what selections should i make.(e.g i cant understand how to use remount, and i dont know how to ".cust_backup/image as RW".
please tell me the exact detailed steps.
i have downloaded recovery.img from this link
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377390"
thanks,

First, copy your recovery.img to your sdcard.
Ok. Open remount. Then from the list of folders, select the one that says '/.cust_backup'. Make sure you have chosen 'rw' in the second list of options. After that, press the Remount button at the top of the remount application. If it is your first time, it will ask for superuser permissions. Press 'Allow'.
Open es file explorer and go to its settings. Make sure that the checkbox for 'Up to Root' is ticked. Then, still in the options, go to the third option from the top, and you would see more options. Now tick the option that says 'Show Hidden Files' (or something like that). Now get out of the options and back into es file explorer. Now, you should see your sdcard files. Navigate to where you have placed your recovery.img. Long press on recovery.img and options should appear. Select Copy. Then keep pressing back until you are back to the root of your sdcard. Now go back once more and you should be in the root of your phone. Now, you should see a folder called '.cust_backup' (in fact it should be the first folder). Go into this folder. There should be another folder inside .cust_backup called 'image' (I think). Go into this image folder. Now there should be an option called 'Paste'. This will paste the recovery.img you copied earlier. If it asks to replace a file then press Yes.
Congrats! You just installed cwm recovery! You can go into your recovery by powering off your phone and then powering it on with the power button and the volume up button at the same time until you see the recovery.
If you have any problems then tell me about them here.

[Q] Missing Gmail Widget after root!

After I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 my Gmail Widget went missing. Please help me getting in it back.
You need to reinstall using the .apk manually. Download a root explorer (ES File Explorer is a good free one). Go in settings and give it root access + mount for writing. Then, go into the /system/app folder, find the Gmail.apk file and open it. Hit uninstall, then install. If this doesnt work, rename the Gmail.apk to something like Gmail.bak, reboot, and then rename it back to Gmail.apk.
You can do this off adb / term. as well if you know how
gmail missing now?!
Okay, I went to try this, and uintalled Gmail.apk, but now it's gone so I can't re-install it. Ack! Help! Please!
Okay, for anyone else who makes the same mistake and doesn't back up the apk before installing... reflash the rom for the full ota update, and it brings back gmail! yay!

Hmm, I've tried this and still no. Even tried the re-flash with OTA update, no luck. When I select/open the Gmail.apk, it doesn't give me an uninstall option, just install. Here's what I've tried:
1. Open gmail.apk to reinstall (no uninstall option)
2. Rename gmail.apk to gmail.bak, reboot, rename back to gmail.apk, no luck (tried reboot after rename back to .apk, too)
3. rename to Gmail.bak, reflash with OTA update (which does bring back the gmail.apk)
Other thoughts?
Thanks!

Ok, solved it by:
In a terminal
su -
cp /system/app/Gmail.apk /sdcard/Gmail.apk
rm -fr /system/app/Gmail.apk
reboot
Open ES File Explorer
Open (install) /sdcard/Gmail.apk
Voila!
I apologize for this (seemingly) really easy question, but: How do you do this?
"Go in settings and give it root access + mount for writing."
[I have rooted my device, and suffer from the same problem; I installed ES File Explorer too.. I've been in the Settings, and don't see 'root access' anywhere]

Hey there, I just saw your post.. this part about:
"reflash the rom for the full ota update" to bring back gmail - I was under the impression that I already flashed the ROM for the 3.1 OTA.. did I not? Or do I just have to do it again?
Just putting the Tab into Downloader Mode and select the 'left' option, and select the 3.1 OTA file again ?

Not sure which guide you followed, but I followed this:
galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1
I re-flashed with hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip, but I don't think you need to if you backed up your Gmail.apk to /sdcard
If you didn't back up the Gmail.apk file and it's gone, you'll need to either re-flash with this file (under step 5 in the page I linked to) or reset to factory.
Hi, I've tried everything stated here it doesn't work.
I can't rename the apk. file as it says it's a file system read-only.
In a terminal
su -
cp /system/app/Gmail.apk /sdcard/Gmail.apk
rm -fr /system/app/Gmail.apk
reboot
Open ES File Explorer
Open (install) /sdcard/Gmail.apk
Can someone further explain this steps? maybe I did something wrong.
*******************************
It's fine I made an mistake, on the es file explorer, I thought I gave it access but apparently I did not. Thank you.
When I followed Step 5 again, the menu I got was:
- No
- No
- No
- No
- No
- Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip (not the <samsung_root.zip> file like it's supposed to be)
- No
- No
I even recopy/pasted the .zip file from my laptop into the root folder of the Tab 10.1, and redid it - same listing. I'm not sure why it's not showing the file again..

[Noob] The Noob Guide to Rooting 2.3.3 (hboot 2.16)

I rooted my phone this last Monday with great success, and have been happily flashing ROMs ever since. I have had a few friends/aquaintances asking me how to do this, so I thought I would post this here to help them, and hopefully a few others here.
Special thanks to evilecho. I just added a few “noob” steps to his amazing tutorial.
If installed, uninstall HTC Sync. This is very important!
Backup anything you need backed up off your phone. Most things on your phone will be safe but back everything up just to be sure.
Download SuperUser zip & Amon_RA’s recovery (if you don’t want to use the Clockwork Mod recover that ships with Revolutionary)
Note: Many people are advising that people new to rooting use Amon_RA’s recovery. Amon_RA’s recovery is very simple, reliable, and very solid and does everything you need to flash a new ROM, if you would like.​
Copy both to your root of SD card
Download and install HTC Drivers
Download Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool
Note: The download link is at the bottom of the page. You will need to enter your EVO’s Serial number which is located under the battery. Make sure you to copy/write down the beta key. You will need it later)​
Copy the beta key to Notepad or a similar app
On your EVO:
Enable USB debugging mode: Go to Settings –> Applications –> Development –> check box for USB debugging [/INDENT]
Disable Fast boot: Go to Settings –> Power –> check box for Fast Boot
Connect your EVO to your PC with a USB cable - Select Charge Only
Unzip the Revolutionary tool and run it as admin (to run as admin, right click and select run as admin)
Open a command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
Navigate to the folder where you unzipped the Revolutionary tool
Type revolutionary.exe
The tool will recognize your device
Enter/paste the beta key that you pasted into Notepad
Note: to paste into the command prompt, right click on the top bar of the window -> Edit -> Paste​
The phone will fastboot twice
It will ask you if you want to install the Clockwork Mod recovery. Select Yes.
Note: Instructions to switch to Amon_RA to follow.​
After Revolutionary is complete, boot into the bootloader (if not already there) by turning off the phone, then hold the power button and the down volume button for a few seconds. You should then see “Revolutionary” at the top, and “S-OFF”.
The phone should now ask you if you want to update the recovery (by recognizing the PC36IMG.zip file that we downloaded and copied to the SD card of the phone). Select yes. This will update your recovery to Amon_RA's.
Use the up and down arrow keys and choose “Recovery” by pushing the power button
Choose “Flash zip from sdcard”
Choose “Choose zip from sdcard”
Use the up arrow key to move you to the bottom of the list, then look for “su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip” and push the power button to select
Push the power button again to accept
You are now rooted!
At this point, I would recommend going to this awesome thread by sekigah84, which will walk you through creating a Nanroid backup and flashing ROMs. Enjoy!
As always, this will void your warranty and may possibly damage your phone. You and you alone are responsible for anything that you do. Everything contained in this thread is for informational purposes only.​

Google play force close help!

Hi, i have rooted my kindle fire recently ( i had to do it manually because the KFU failed to root it) and installed the google framework and google play APK's manually.
but whenever i try to purchase an app, it force closes. and then it force closes every time after that when i try to open it again. when i go to clear the app data for it it will open again, but will still force close when i try to download an app
i also tried to install the app market version 3.4.4, but that always force closed as soon as i tried to open it
maybe i didnt root it right or maybe its not even rooted? how can you tell if its rooted properly. it als wont let me push anything to /system/. it says its read only or something
Edit: nevermind, i solved it. i had to put the kindle into recovery mode, mount /system/ using clockwork recovery, and then push the vendor.apk and install it while still in clockwork recovery
A little more detail please

I have the same thing going on. Can you elaborate a little more. How did you push it while in recovery? Did you have to make it a zip? I can only find zip files to open and since it isn't a zip I can't find another way to open the file.
Thanks in advance.

I was using the Stock rooted. I followed the first part of the thread and it didn't work for me so I followed the second part and this is were I get lost:
8 - Under "Path settings" Check the box "Up to Root"
9 - Under "Root settings" Check the box "Root Explorer" Tap "yes" on the popup and tap "allow" on the super user window.
10 - Under "Root settings" check "Mount File System"
11 - now your ready to copy the files. Tap back to go back to the sdcard. Tap "Select" on the top toolbar. Select by taping the three .apks you copied over. Once all three are selected Tap "Copy" on the top toolbar
12 - Tap "Up" on top toolbar. Tap "system". Tap "app" and Finally tap "Paste" on top toolbar.
13 - Reboot your kindle and you should now have the Market working on your kindle.
Root Explorer is not there? hmmm, I must be missing something.
in es file explorer -> settings -> scroll down to the section root options ->
first point is root-explorer -> second point is something with file system -> check both

Assuming you have es file explorer installed just do what b63 said so file explorer will have write permissions on the kindle and drag and drop those 3 apks that were in that link 2nd page into the system/app folder and than reboot.... dont try to install them or anything like that just drop them in the app folder and reboot
Thanks guys I got it. I should have made my name NoobCake. What I was missing was....
I didn't understand that I needed to hit the little system folder next to the back arrow at the bottom of the Kindle to check the Root boxes. Once I found that it went great and Market is working good.
I really appreciate your help and to have it so fast is awesome. You guys ROCK!

[*GUIDE*] Bypassing that seemingly unsurmountable Google Sign-In

Alright all you legacy device lovers, lol, go get your HTC Mytouch 3G devices (probably all sapphire devices, haven't tried on others) that are stuck on that annoyingly persistent Google Sign-In screen outta of the junk drawer and get ready to get some use out of it. I've really only seen a few solutions, touching the four corners, lol, really? never seen that work but its everywhere so it must have at some point, and some other vague or ineffective methods. I have done this over and over just to make sure it wasn't some sorta fluke or lucky button press. That being said i no longer have the devices cause i was unlocking it for a friend that used too many wrong pin codes, so if you see some mistakes, plz let me know.
But first, let me cover my a**, lol
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICK, BROKEN, EXPLODING, OR TRANSFORMING DEVICES.
USE THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU ARE HENCEFORTH INFORMED.
LMAO, Alright now that's over with. I can say that, although seemingly complicated, if you mess this up then you should have left it in the junk drawer cause its pretty hard to mess it up. I will also include the steps taken to get custom recovery and cm6 on the device as well. The main thing is getting the right files.
It was running Android 1.6.

11.Press Messaging from the list that pops up.
12. In the Recipient field press any random 10 digit number and in the text field enter "Google.com"
13. Hit send, of course it will not send and give you some network unavailable message. now click "Google.com" in the message you just attempted to send, which will bring you to the Browser.
14. long press the menu button, and in the text field type "content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/html_hack.html"
15. Now click the Root explorer link and it'll show a warning about unknown sources, click Settings.
16. Touch the Unknown Sources checkbox and while you are there click Development and enable USB Debugging.
17. click back to the web browser and click Root Explorer again and Install.
18. Once installed open Root Explorer.
19. Browse to your sdcard and click the Universal Androot file and install.
20. Once installed open the app, make sure android 1.5/1.6 Superuser is selected and click the Root button.

22. This time though you should see the superuser dialog pop up. Of course click Allow.
23. Again browse to your sdcard and install Terminal Emulator, and open it. Allow superuser.
24. Alright now for the awesome part, in terminal emulator type:
Code:
su
am start -a android.intent.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings
Which should open the settings menu.
25. Now navigate to the Wireless menu and enable WIFI and select a WIFI connection.

COMPLETE GUIDE: Installing Android 11 with GApps and Rooted System with Magisk on Razer Phone 2

Update: At the time of writing this, I completely forgot that I am running Linux Mint - Cinnamon 20.1 on my laptop, which connects the bluetooth with my phone just fine. However, it did NOT work when I booted into windows and tried it. I am not sure why this is, but just beware. I recommend that you look into it yourself and see if you can find a resolution that works for you if you aren't using a linux os.
Hi everyone, after using another guide on here by Marcos8760, I noticed that there were a lot of things missing from the steps layed out, and decided to create my own guide with every step that should be done to have a fully functional Razer 2 with Android 11 OS. I will be using a part of his guide in this tutorial, and the link to his if you want to check it out is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-android-11-gsi-with-gapps-and-root-magisk.4216117/
**DISCLAIMER**
First, I am not responsible for any bricked devices or errors that occur. This is completely at your own risk.
Second, this OS is NOT supported by Verizon. If you use Verizon then this will not be able to work on your phone.
Third, MAKE SURE that you have backed up all your files and data before doing this, again, I am not responsible
for you losing your data, because you will lose it if it isn't backed up, and I have warned you to do so.
Fourth, any commands will be in '' quotes, do not type these into your own cmd window, they are just to indicate what the commands are.
Last, This is not a troubleshooting guide, I am not covering how to fix errors, only simply how to install and get working with the Android 11 GSI. If there are errors please try to do research and resolve them on your own.
Before we begin anything, we need a few tools. These are the download links to all the files you will need to complete this process.
1. You will need a program such as WinRar, 7zip, or my personal fav, WinZip, to be able to extract these files, make sure you have one of these installed before proceeding.
2. We need to have a backup of the stock firmware in case of any kind of bootlooping or other bricking that might occur that you can revert back to. Extract this.
Link: https://s3.amazonaws.com/cheryl-factory-images/aura-p-release-3201-user-full.zip
3. This is the link to the GSI we will be installing. If you want a rooted system, you need to download system-roar-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps.img.xz file. This will allow you to install Magisk and enable Google's Play Protect which is what this guide will be about, of course you can choose your own, however you will have to figure out how to get play protect certified yourself. Extract This.
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases
4. We need the kernel that allows TWRP to be installed, which is the file manager we will be using for some of the programs we need to install, as well as being able to boot the phone up during this process. Extract This.
https://github.com/francisrosario/a...load/4.0/TrinityKernel-kernel-r4-20200512.zip
5. This is a file system program used to write large scale data with much faster read and write speeds for Linux and Android systems alike. Here is a link to learn more about it: https://c.mi.com/thread-2487060-1-0.html
*DL link: https://arter97.com/browse/aura/f2fs/20190114/f2fs_fstab.zip
*Leave this as a zip file, you just simply need to save it.
6. Here is the link to the latest Magisk version. (Needed to root the device) Leave as zip file.
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v21.3
7. We need a program called VoLTE Fix-It. This is needed to enable your mobile network and data for LTE on this GSI.
*https://github.com/KhushrajRathod/VoLTE-Fix
*Just press the green 'Code' button and download as zip. Leave this as a zip file as well.
8. We need the Android ADB Driver to be able to enter commands to install everything.
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb Click download zip, accept agreement, and download and extract.
9. We need Android SDK Platform Tools to be able to run fastboot and adb commands. Extract this.
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
10. Lastly, (I promise), you need the Qualcomm Android USB Driver. The link explains why. Extract this and go through the setup and install.
https://gsmusbdrivers.com/download/android-qualcomm-usb-driver/
Now we can begin the process.
First, copy all of the files in the aura-p-release folder, and paste them into the platform tools folder where all of those files are. Then enable USB debugging on your phone. Go to settings, click on About Phone, scroll to bottom and tap "Build Number' 7 times. You are now in dev mode. Search in the search bar for usb debug, tap it, then enable it and select allow.
To install the Android ADB driver, right click on start (Windows icon in bottom left of task bar), select device manager. Then we need to go into fastboot mode. Hold both volume buttons and power button down, be patient, it takes a second. When the screen goes black immediately press and hold the Volume down button for at least 3-5 seconds until a screen comes up that has an option to 'Restart Bootloader' at the top. Now we can install the driver. You should have device manager open, an option called 'Other devices' should come up, with Android that has a yellow exclamation mark by it. If it doesn't, unplug and replug the phone's usb, and it should. Once that shows up, right click and select update driver. Select Browse computer, select Let me pick. Show All devices should be selected, if not, go ahead and do so, then click next. Select 'Have Disk', Select Android ADB Interface, click browse and go to the folder where you downloaded the ADB driver, then select 'android_winusb' and click ok. Click ok again, a warning will come up, you don't need to worry it is needed to install this OS, so go ahead and click yes. It should install, you can close out when it is finished.
Next, in file explorer open the folder with all of the platform tools and aura-p-release files. Erase what is in the address bar, and type 'cmd', press enter. This will open a command prompt window in this location. Now, type in the cmd window, 'fastboot devices' and a serial number should show up. If not, then you have done something wrong or missed a step and need to uninstall the driver and go back into fastboot mode and do it again, or refer to the last disclaimer I made. Now, if the serial number did show, we can proceed. First we need to unlock the bootloader (if it isn't already) to be able to root and install. Type in the cmd window 'fastboot flashing unlock' and press enter, a confirmation should pop up on the device, use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select and confirm. When thats done, type in 'fastboot flashing unlock_critical', again a confirmation should come up so just do the same.
We can get into the meat of the installation process now.
You should still be in fastboot mode. In the cmd window, type 'fastboot flash system' and drag and drop the system-roar file you downloaded and extracted in file explorer into the cmd window.
Your command will look a little something like this: fastboot flash system C:\Users\user\Desktop\system-roar-arm64-ab-gapps.img
The file path will be different depending on where you downloaded the image to.
Wait until it says complete or something similar like done and has no errors. Then, its time to flash the kernel. Navigate to the where you downloaded the TrinityKernel file, open it. There should be a .img filed simply called 'boot.img'. Go back to your cmd window, and we will be typing in: "fastboot flash boot" then drag and drop the boot.img file, like you did with the system file, again, wait until it says done or complete and has no errors.
After that is done, use the volume buttons to select restartt bootloader with your power button on your phone. When it reboots, go to recovery mode, check never show this screen, and swipe where it says to swipe. Go to the wipe menu and then tap on format data. Type yes and then press enter/ok. Go back to your computer and open file explorer.
Next, copy and paste the f2fs zip file using windows explorer into the Razer 2's internal storage.
Head back to your phone, and press install. Scroll down until you find the zip file and press it and install it. (ignore the errors that may or may not be there) After that go back to the TWRP home screen, button that looks like a house at the bottom in the middle, go to the reboot menu, then reboot into recovery. When it reboots, go to wipe menu, and tap on format data and type in "yes" and tap ok again. Click on "don't install" because you don't need the TWRP app on your phone.
Next we need to install magisk to enable google play protect cert and have a rooted system. Just do the exact same thing that you just did with the f2fs file, except do not format data this time.
Select mount and check all the boxes. Go back to home page and select install, scroll to magisk and swipe to install.
Now, this is where you have to make a big decision. Bluetooth on this rom is a fickle son of a gun. I have tried to make it work on a pc that doesn't have bluetooth software built into it for a very lengthy amount of time, trying all sorts of things. The only way I could get it to connect is by setting it as a device to control with my keyboard and mouse. Maybe you will have better luck, but I have confirmed that the bluetooth works on devices with already built in bluetooth software. It works perfectly on my laptop and in my car. So, if you want to proceed with this, then I will tell you, if not, you can skip over it.
Select advanced on the home menu, go to file manager, select vendor then overlay. delete BOTH the bluetoothcommon.apk and razeraurabluetooth.apk.
This step applies to those who skipped the bt part as well. Go back to home, select reboot and click system, when it reboots, select allow usb debugging, DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE. THIS IS CRITICAL. Go back to your cmd window and type "adb devices", a serial number should show, then type the following cmds in order: "adb root", "adb shell", "mount -o remount,rw /", "mv /bin/resetprop_phh /bin/phh-resetprop" - if this one gives an error saying its in use, don't worry, just do the next cmd, which is "phh-securize.sh"
If the 3rd cmd gave the error, the last cmd will ask if you want to confirm it, click y for yes for each option it gives, it should go thru and the device should reboot.
Now then, it may seem slow during set up, but set it up like normal. Everything should be well and good. after you finish setup, to enable better fps, go into settings, select phh settings, select misc features, scroll down to and click on 'force fps', select the last option to have 120fps, but you have to do it twice because for some reason it doesn't change to the very last option the first time.
Now, we have to setup your mobile network with volte, it is a program that allows LTE coverage from your carrier to enable data on custom gsi roms. Now, go to the volte fix it zip file in file explorer, copy paste to the phone's internal storage. Go into fastboot mode, select recovery, it will boot into twrp. Do the same thing as the other zip files, install then select and swipe. Now press home button and select reboot, click system. Go to phh settings, click ims features, check the boxes on the bottom 2 options, click on create ims apn, it wont do anything, then click install ims apk, when it is done a notification will pop up on the bottom that says to reboot, you may now reboot the phone. Once it is booted up, go to network and internet, select mobile network, change pref network type to lte, then enable volte. You should have full service of your mobile network.
There are a few last things. The default camera sucks, I've tested some from the play store, and YouCam is by far the best free camera you can get from there. 2nd, to enable the backlight on the Razer 2, download and install logo+ apk, grant it root perms, and you can select the effects and colors you want it to be. This should be everything to get you going on the gsi. If you want to do custom things like custom boot animations or alarm sounds or whatever, download either root browser or pay for root explorer on the play store, and you can look up how to do whatever you want and you can do it through one of those. There it is. Enjoy the new os and have fun with it!
**IF YOU DO RUN INTO A BOOTLOOP OR ANY SORT OF BRICKING, RETURN TO FASTBOOT MODE BY HOLDING POWER, AND HOLD VOL DOWN WHEN THE SCREEN TURNS BLACK. You can go into platform folder, find the flash_all.bat file, double click and it should bring the phone back to original stock, and you can start over. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER ERRORS DURING THIS PROCESS PLEASE TRY TO FIND THE RESOLUTION YOURSELF. This is NOT a troubleshooting guide.**
Nice guide!
The link in Step 4 is broken.
