problem installing cmw

guys I have a weird problem, I installed honeycomb foliomod then I switched to 1.4 and I lost so I went back to the recovery cmw classic, now when I go to install cmw (cmw compatible for any folio) I get the droid with the signal of danger so I'm obliged to restart the tablet, and now I can not install the recovery, now someone can give me a little hand to understand how do I install cmw?
The fastest way is to install it via fastbooot.
you have a guide to install via fastboot? I honestly do not even know what this is fastboot, excuse my ignorance.
Just find my guide in General and then look into my HC thread for tutorial of using fastboot and then type:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img reboot
Sent from my IDEOS S7 Slim using XDA App
I have a small problem with the fastboot, I wrote out the cmd <waiting device> for ... I do not understand what's the problem
I noticed that the drivers will not install, you have a method to install drivers Folio 100?
Are you using W7 or Linux?
follow this guide

Follow what realmausi has posted. That will setup the drivers in Win 7 and allow you to communicate with the folio when it's in fastboot mode...
thanks a lot guys, really do not know how to thank you, finally I made it through Davvi not as stupid as I thought it would pass, the problem was in the drivers, thanks again

Have a look here for another rooting method => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105.
Method 1 only need stock recovery to flash a temporarily CWM recovery.
And in CWM recovery you can flash the CM10 zip file.
No need for an extra PC application (for linux it would be Heimdall and not Odin) ... with this method you can flash everything on the phone itself.
Good luck !

help with recovery bootloader mediapad 7 lite

hello everyone i need help with my mediapad 7 lite , i been searching for months and have not been able to install a single recovery like cwm twrp etc. would someone tell me what is going on , most guides stuck at fastboot and waiting for device . why is there so much shadyness would anyone post a good solution with tools etc? mediapad 7 lite s7-932u. well i hope i get a solution , i want install android lollipop , and by anymeans is there a rom for the bios to make the processor quad or dual . as simple as formating windows 98 or xp please.
I am sorry if you don't like my answer as I know your device is not the same as this TWRP but you may like to port it? or compile it?
I think you need to root your device as well otherwise you may struggle.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693100
Note this is tested on S7-931W while your post shows you are keen to get s7-932u.
If you use Linux you can download that TWRP, unpack it with imgRePackerRK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257331
then use Android to get info on where your recovery is and take a backup image of it
copy your stock recovery to Linux, unpack it with same tool as above, then swap in your kernel into TWRP and adjust the fstab and a few text files to match your ids
repack modified TWRP with imgRePackerRK and flash it.
making sure you have kept a backup on your removable sdcard.
good luck

Porting TWRP

I want to port TWRP for my device HTC Desire 620G, I'm a rom porter and I'm familiar with porting stuff but I can get TWRP to boot but can't get the touch to work. Do I need to integrate touch drivers for the touch to work? But I don't think it is possible for my device as my device is having no sources, no device tree actually nothing so, I'm only left with porting. Right now using PhilZ Touch Recovery with touch not working and I think it has something to do with kernel or ramdisk. If I fix the touch in TWRP I'll get the touch to work in other touch recoveries too. Thanks to everyone in advance.
