hi all,
I have followed MikeyCiggz's post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233154&page=2, thanks MIkeyCiggz first!
But I cannot find a suitable bootable recovery image for evo 3d:-(. I have tried twrp 1.0.3, twrp 1.1.1, twrp 2.0, it seemed that twrp image file is not bootable. I have tried:
dd if=./twrp-1.1.1.img of=/dev/mmcblk01 bs=1M
but the sd card it not bootable.
I have searched google but find nothing...so anyone can give any hints that where can I download the bootable recovery image, both twrp and cwm is ok. thanks in advance!
I don't have the answer to your question but, I don't think you should put ./ in the if= section. Your not executing the file.

./ means the current directory, ./twrp-1.1.1.img means twrp-1.1.1.img in the current directory
Anyone tried twrp 2.0 with bootable sdcard? please share your success story, thanks!

Never heard of copying the recovery image directly onto the sdcard and then booting off of it.
As my understanding of the boot process goes, recovery mode will only load the recovery image for the specific recovery partition. Recovery mode doesn't search the device for recovery images in any random partition.
The link you provided had no directions or evidence to support it being possible. Perhap if there is more information on this process, it might seem more feasible.
hope that helps! good luck!

I think a bootable recovery sdcard maybe the same as the command:
fastboot boot recovery.img
the above command should boot into recovery despite of the recovery partition on the inner storage of the phone. Is that right?

The above command will send the recovery.img located on the host computer, through the host computer's fastboot binary and USB connection to the device which is also in fastboot mode and will then temporarly booted into the transferred recovery image on the device.
Never heard of fastboot boot a full sdcard?
Not sure how that deals with sdcard ..

ph84 said that dual boot is possible and he will write how to.
When???(don't hurry, I only ask)
Maybe your question can be answered if you look for the Topogigi's post in this thread [HOW TO] Linux on Folio.
I've not try this, because i don't understand some things... if someone makes a how to step by step, would be amazing !!
Here is how to get it without steps:
Topogigi said:
[ONLY FOR DEVELOPERS AND SKILLED PEOPLE: NOT FOR NEWBIES!!!]
My 2 cents:
I installed ubuntu and it works quite well. I'd like to point out that it you can boot android or ubuntu flashing the boot.img containing the linux kernel in place of recovery kernel (fastboot flash recovery boot.img). You can even try a kernel before flashing it to the device (fastboot boot boot.img). To enter fastboot mode in your device, simply press the power button three times when the Toshiba logo appears on the screen at powerup, then press volume up one time. Voila, you are in fastboot mode...
To boot linux, you have to press "power+volume up", then follow the instruction on screen to wipe the device (don't worry, it will boot linux and it will not wipe anything). You'll miss the recovery partition that way, but you'll gain a dual-boot tablet with android and ubuntu in change. Not a bad trade.
If you really need recovery, you can always reflash it with fastboot, so the process is perfectly reversible.
Now, back to business:
1) Touchscreen works (sort of). If you apt-get evtest, you'll notice that /dev/input/event3 is bound to the touchscreen and it reports to be alive and kicking. The test reports the coordinate changing and the pressure on the screen (multitouch works too). But......in Xorg, the device only reports the pressure and coordinates are not changing. You can test with xinput as I did. It seems a software-related issue: the drivers does not report correctly what the hardware is telling him. I'll investigate and report back if news will come out.
2) Wifi could eventually work. The card is bound via SDIO bus, and a ar6000 driver supporting SDIO is available. I'll try to compile the driver ASAP.
3) Suspend, cpufreq do not work and I doubt they will work without driver sources
4) Battery is working, framebuffer is working good and the system seems quite snappy also with an EXT4 partition on a MMC. Openoffice works great, quicker than expected.
5) If you compile the kernel with nilfs2 support, you can easily mount all the android partitions within ubuntu with ease. Not bad...
That's all for the moment: I hope that someone will help me to make this little devil fly.

That's quite easy in fact :
In fastboot, just flash the boot.img instead of recovery :
fastboot flash recovery boot.img
That's it... you will loose "auto" recovery, but you will gain Linux Ubuntu

It sounds easy... but i have never enter in fastboot mode... I don't know what commands use...
Another question, I have flashed the update.zip from ph84 to boot only ubuntu, when i flash this boot.img on fastboot mode how I flash the foliomod ???
fastboot, SDK, UPDATE.ZIP, DRIVERS etc.
Sergi711
1.I know for that(try), but I can't use fastboot. I installed all drivers, but I can't send commands to Folio 100. I made thread for help, but no one help me. If you can help, please, help me!!!!!!
Can we make update.zip with that kernel and don't use fastboot?
2.a)First, download and install SDK.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Second, go here http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/enable-adb-usb-drivers-for-nvidia-tegra-based-android-tablets and install drivers.
Third, enter fastboot mode(3X Power UP+Volume UP) IF YOU PRESS POWER UP 4X, YOU'LL BRICK TABLET AND FOR THAT YOU CAN'T FIND HELP!!!!!
Moreover, connect Folio with PC,Laptop, NetBook, Tablet PC or NoteBook via USB and open terminal(Start>Run>cmd) and go to C:/android-sdk/platform-tools (in my
case)
Terminal: cd C:/android-sdk/platform-tools
Fifth, now run fastboot.exe and type anything you want
Terminal: fastboot _______________( fastboot flash recovery boot.img)
b) If you flash boot.img from ph84 to boot Ubuntu ARM on Folio 100, in future, you'll can only boot from SD Card or USB(sdmmc-update.zip or usb-update.zip). You'll not use Folio's internal storage and you'll can't boot to FolioMod, but from recovery you can easily reflash FolioMod or another rom or custom kernel(you need to reflash kernel and you can made your own update.zip with your custom kernel and don't touch FolioMod )
Akta77
Can we we copy recovery to /date or /date/date folder and boot it like MCLP said for installing FolioMod or another rom?
Step 1. Install Root Explorer on Folio 100(can't post app, because rules, but with googling find it easily or download it from android market)
Step 2. Copy the recovery image from FolioMod(if you want original recovery) or from CyanogenMod7.0.0(if you want unofficial ClockworkMod recovery) to SD Card or Internal storage
Step 3.With Root Explorer copy recovery.img to /date or if you find another date directory inside copy there(copy recovery.img to both directory just in case)
Step 4. Exit from Root Explorer, got to Settings>Applications>Development and enable USB Debugging
Step 5. Connect Folio 100 to PC or etc. via USB and open Terminal(cmd) and go to SDK directory C:/android-sdk/platform-tools(in my case)
Terminal: cd C:/android-sdk/platform-tools
adb shell (use this if you have installed SDK drivers for Tegra devices)
cat /data/recovery.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
or
Install any Terminal app on Folio 100 and type
Android Terminal: cat /data/recovery.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
After this, you should have recovery

Most other fastboot binaries out there don't recognize tegra devices.
I just use the SDK's Fastboot under Linux (built from Cyanogen's 7 repo) without any problem.
If you are using Windows, have you modified the inf has stated by google?
Entering fastboot is simple : just press x3 power and then volume up at boot screen.
You will be in fastboot mode.
I am not sure we can boot the kernel from somewhere else than boot partition or recovery partition. But we could maybe build a relocable kernel and load Linux or Android using kexec from boot partition like "petiboot" on PS3

thanks in advance !!!
Hi,
Just wrote you how to do it
Boot the tab in fastboot (3xPower + 1 Vol Up)
Then connect your tablet on your PC and do :
fastboot flash recovery boot.img (boot.img is extracted from update.zip according to your wish (SDCARD or USB PENDRIVE)).
Akta
ok i flash the boot.img on fastboot, and then ??? i only have now ubuntu, how i install android after fastboot flash boot boot.img ????
I know, i must enter fastboot mode, and flash boot.img instead of recovery.
After that, i will only be able to boot from sdcard... isn't it ?
Ok, i must have 2 sdcards to boot android, and the other sdcard to boot ubuntu ???
if this is right... how the sdcard must be ??? update.zip on the root ???, the update zip extracted on the root of sdcard ??
i have lot of doubts after the fastboot flash recovery boot.img step, sorry.... can anyone help me ??
I think when you flash boot.img(sd or usb) for dualboot, when sd card with Ubuntu is in Folio you'll boot ubuntu(sd or usb) and if you haven't got Ubuntu sdcard or you have it (but not Ubuntu sd) or if you haven't any you will boot to android.
What's up with my question?
Sent from my folio 100 using Tapatalk
Ok i understand that after flash boot.img instead of recovery on fastboot mode... folio will boot from sdcard, in that case, if you push a sdcard with an ubuntu filesystem, folio will boot ubuntu, and if you remove sd after boot moment, folio will recognise internal sd and boot android ??? thats it ???
edit: but what boot.img must i flash ???
When i will have some time, i will rebuild a boot.img able too boot linux from a second partition on the sdcard. You will have fat32 on first partition and ext3 or ext4 on second. For now, you can live your sdcard in the folio but android is not able to access it (lack of ext3 / ext4 support, but easy to install ).
Akta
Thank's Akta for your help!!! Can you sometime post your progress? I want to help, but I don't have dev skills. Can you post some good link(searched, but no luck) or your howto about making kernels? I found for themes and I'll try to make some in my free time.

I there, I have few questions:
First, why are you flashing boot into recovery? Is not supposed that boot is the image that cares about booting procedure?
Second, once first question is solved, which boot image are we supposed to flash? I mean, we will need one that searches into sd for a boot/grub, isnt it?
Third, what about the procedure, I explain myself, the logical order of doing all this is: flash an android rom, CM for example, then do the procedure to install ubuntu into the sd and finally flash the boot img so system looks for sd-ubuntu and if it's not found, then boot internal android rom, am i right?
Thanks!
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.

Look in the second post on first page. You will see someone talking about dual boot. Find that post in first threde of Ubuntu for Folio 100 that wrote DerArtem(I think)
I don't have time to post link, but if you don't find it tell me and I'll post link.
Here's the full story:
I flashed TWRP recovery, flashed MikVirgin.
Next I flashed Viperrom.
I flashed ClockworkMod Touch recovery.
I tried to flash MikVirgin again but it failed.
I did a backup the first time I flashed with TWRP.
So, with no rom, no usb, and only ClockworkMod recovery (which fails when trying to flash either of the two roms mentioned above), is there anyway to get a rom on my phone or flash twrp back to the phone? twrp is currently on my SD card
Hope you can help,

download the same version of TWRP that you had and install the image through your hboot by taking that image and package it into a zip file and name that zip file PG86IMG.zip, copy to your sd card,boot to your hboot and let install from there and then reboot into that recovery and then restore...post back if you need help...
How can I get the Zip file to my SD card without being able to mount my SD to my computer? Unless you know a way to get CWM to allow me to mount. Right now it's giving me an error "Unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)". I know I can get the adapter to directly plug the card into my laptop but is there another way? I have a Windows phone that I could put the SD card in to mount to it if that will work.

You could push the recovery through fastboot. I forget the exact command, I think it's fastboot recovery recovery.img. Find the twrp website and download the img file you need. The site also has directions on how to flash it without copying to sd card first.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Hi,
Few days ago I managed to put my Archos 79XE into a bootloop during an attempt to deodex the stock rom. Now, I can boot into stock recovery and fastboot modes only.
I contacted Archos customer service, and they sent me an update.zip file, with instructions to copy the update.zip to my sdcard, then flash it through recovery mode. This solution is not applicable, though, since the device recognizes two different sdcard's, one internal and one external, the recovery only sees the internal sdcard, which i can't copy the file to since i don't have ADB access now.
What I did next was an attempt to create a fastboot flashable system.img. But couldn't flash that, as fastboot flash system system.img gets stuck at erasing the partition and never go past it.
So, my question is: is there a way to make the stock recovery work with the external sdcard, instead of the internal? I was thinking maybe fastboot -c and pass some kernel command line to switch both mount points?
Or is there any custom recovery that can apply the update.zip? I couldn't find any cwm or twrp custom recovery for this device.
P.S.
The device reports being a tk8983 in fastboot devices.
Any ideas?
I have Huawei P6,
It stop booting at logo MIUI (so not possible to use IHM root file manager).

custom recovery is TWRP v2.6.3.3
The goal is to remove TWRP recovery by a stock one to perform an update with dload/UPDATE.APP from SDCARD.
To do this I would like to copy the file recovery-from-boot.p file in /system device to remove TWRP when boot to recovery mode.
As I said, the phone stope to boot at MIUI logo (error from TWRP E: unable to mount '/cache').
Sideload failed!

I apologize @LikeM8 for the delay in getting back to you somehow this thread got lost in the shuffle.

TWRP may be overwriting the file on it's own, another possibility would be to follow the directions for the stock recovery flashing i linked to earlier and seeing if only fastboot booting the stock recovery image will let you re-flash the stock ROM.
Would really love some help. I flashed the recovery from the CM site. Now when it boots is shows the Cyanoboot screen, and it only boots to recovery from EMMC. Even after side-loading the CM13 zip for acclaim it still just boots to recovery. Any ideas how to get out of recovery?!?!
I also tried to "adb sideload" a different recovery (CWM) but it fails to install, saying "E: footer is wrong, E: signature verification failed"
I can only get into adb sideload mode, as "adb devices" says my device is "UNAUTHORIZED", and can't boot to CM at all.
Anything (other than CM zip) I try to flash from ADB sideload within CM recovery fails due to signature verification. Seems like its checking for updates signed by CM. Ugh, not seeing a way out of this.

Thanks for the thread. I think that helps understand the issue, however I'm kind of in a "catch-22" since I don't have adb shell access, i can't write a new recovery image. And since I can't write a new recovery image, im stuck with the Custom CM recovery that won't do anything but flash official builds. The developer, Chris, has been looking into an option to help me out of this, hopefully he comes up with it

If the current recovery that the tablet boots to is functioning you can try to use it to flash zip files for a new recovery or flashable_bootloop_fix.
If the recovery is not functioning, you should use a bootable SD card containing a SD-based recovery to flash them.

The current recovery (Cyanogenmod recovery) boots, but it seems to only be able to flash ZIPs signed by CM. And doing that hasn't changed any behavior.
