Porting cwm on Russian device - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. Sorry for my English. I'm trying to port cwm recovery to my rus device bliss pad a973. This is what I've done:
1. Cat /proc/mtd
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00800000 00200000 "bootloader"
mtd1: 00800000 00800000 "logo"
mtd2: 00800000 00800000 "aml_logo"
mtd3: 00800000 00800000 "recovery"
mtd4: 00800000 00800000 "boot"
mtd5: 20000000 00800000 "system"

2. dd if=/dev/mtd/mtdblock3 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
3.then i have downloaded script for unpacking img files (run it on cygwin) and have error " android magic not found"
I have put my img and cwm img for another device in winhex and have seen the difference. My img file really haven't "ANDROID! " and only readable info was kernel build info (linux - 3.0.8). More googling stucked me, i need some help. Guess xda-guru can help me to solve this problem.

Recovery for T-U880.

Hi everyone
I recently bought a ZTE blade variant (ZTE T-U880) which turns out to completely different blade.
It has a Marvell CPU @ 806 Mhz and 512 MB ram.
I managed to root it and found a working version (2.5.0.9) of clockwork recovery on some chinese site. This particular version fails to do "nandroid" backup. So, i'm in need of a fully functional clockwork recovery for the device.
Any help regarding it will be appreciated.
Here is the partition structure of the new blade (ZTE T-U880).

mtd13: 00100000 00020000 "reserved"
mtd14: 00a00000 00020000 "MRVL_BBM"
I tried to backup the bootloader and recovery using the following commands
# cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 >sdcard/Boot_mtd0.img
# cat /dev/mtd/mtd6 >sdcard/Recovery_mtd6.img
I'm attaching both these file.
I have no experience of linux, someone please unpack clockwork recovery and pack it using this boot.img. Hopefully recovery will work with the new boot image extracted from this device.
Thanks in advance.
i don't think the “bootloader” is “boot”...

[Q] Find boot and recovery partition size (Programmatically in a shell script)

Hi All,
I am seeking a way to find size of boot and recovery partitions (the partition size, not data size) programmatically for use in a shell script. Any thoughts?
# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 000a0000 00020000 "misc"
mtd1: 003e0000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd2: 00300000 00020000 "boot"
mtd3: 0f000000 00020000 "system"
mtd4: 02800000 00020000 "cache"
mtd5: 0b920000 00020000 "userdata"

I have seen and used the above command numerous times for something else. But your post made me think again about the size column, which I was thinking as some gibberish numbers. I found out that it is actually is hexadecimal. Converting it to decimal does the job for me. Thanks so much!

init.rc autostart program - Android 4.1.1

Hello,
I want to add a rule to the init.rc to autostart a program.
I tried to follow this guide:
hxxp://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
Instead of the following:
Code:
#cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "misc"
mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd2: 00280000 00020000 "boot"
mtd3: 04380000 00020000 "system"
mtd4: 04380000 00020000 "cache"
mtd5: 04ac0000 00020000 "userdata"
I am only getting:
Code:
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00100000 00001000 "w25q80"
So where can I get the boot image that is installed? The device is a Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1
Thank you for your help!
Mark
Found it
On this device the boot image is located here:
Code:
/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot
