Can anyone help me get set up with CWM recovery on my generic A13-MID tablet? I have been searching forums and google for quite a while and have not found the information I am looking for. I have a 7" tablet running Android 4.0.3 (rooted). I have installed plenty of custom roms, etc on my droid phone, but I am new to the tablet and with a knock-off device, I am really struggling to find the info I need. One obstacle is that for physical buttons I only have a Volume +/- and Power (no back button), but I have read that people have installed CWM with touch capabilities instead of having to use the physical keys. I just really want to be able make a nandroid backup of my current working system...any thoughts??? Thanks!

Thank you, I will give it a go later today. The only other thing that concerns me is the lack of a Back button on my tablet. Do you think I'm going to run into problem while in CWM without the ability to hit a Back button?
Thanks!

Just flashed CWM per your instructions - very nice! Only other question I have is how to get to CWM manually (not form novo7tools) when the tablet is off...I tried the usual Volume Up + Power, but I get nothing.

just press the power button with volume up for 5 to 8 seconds the release the power button !
I actually can't get it to boot to CWM with the hardware buttons...not sure what's going on, but hopefully I won't get to the point where I need to do that.
try with volume down button !
did you have any problems installing the usb drivers, if not can you post the drivers you used as I have tried downloading drivers and my device is not being recognised
I already installed the novo7 tool and did the instructions posted on the link given, still it didn't able to enter in the recovery mode, and all I got is a android logo lying down with a red triangle icon with a "!" inside it.

Stuck on boot, cannot go into recovery anymore
I rooted and installed recovery for my A13-MID tablet by Lutema, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33349032#post33349032, i was stuck in recovery for a while, then i reset to factory settings since i couldn't get it to NOT boot into recovery, i did a factory reset to see if that would fix it, just made it worse, tablet is stuck on manufacturer's splash screen at the beggining, how can i reflash?? didnt make a backup. can anyone provide a rom or instructions on how to do it?
Hello. Maybe some of you have heard of a certain phone known as the Casio G'zone Commando. It is rugged phone from Verizon, and I think it is time that someone develops a custom rom. Even with all of the bloat uninstalled, it still freezes up every once and awhile. This phone isn't very popular, so not many people have tried a get a custom rom on it. Through my research, this is what I found out: The Commando doesn't have a way to get into a recovery menu (there is no key combanation) However, I know that Getitnowmarketing has posted a working recovery on androidforums.com, but you still need to hook it up to a computer to use it. So what does this have to do with custom roms? Also, what is a bootloader, and how would I unlock it on the Commando?? I really need some help. If no one will volunteer, I may just try to pull this off, but first, I am gonna need some education on custom roms and technical android stuff. Thank you!
I have been fooling around with the commando as well, and have found that if you have it connected to your laptop and while booting up you press the power+camera+vol down buttons it will pull up a hard reset screen. During this time I also had Odin3 v1.70 and it shows under the ID:COM - 0:[COM51] highlighted in yellow. Could we at this point download custom firmware, or possibly root?
Any help would be appreciated!

That's very interesting! I think this means that there is a way to recover your phone if something goes wrong!
Unfortunately, I still don't know if this is enough. Somehow we need to get an expert to help answer our questions...
Hopefully one of our devs will be a real sweetheart and get ICS rolling on this device.
There are there no known ICS ROMs for this device???
No, there is not an ICS or JB rom for this device. I don't know if it would be able to run stock JB and ICS well considering it is 800 mhz (I've heard somewhere the recommended ICS speed is 1 ghz), but overclocking is always an option (I think overclocking is easier on custom roms). Also, JB or ICS may run better on it with some customization.
But either way, a custom rom, whether it be based on Android 4.x or 2.x would be great! I would learn how to do things like unlocking the bootloader and making custom roms, but time is an issue for me. I just wish there was a dev out there willing to do this. I would even consider donating!

Is the commando a 4g one or the first commando? I'm asking because I have the c771 but it only has 2.3.3 gingerbread
Sent from my Xperia Play using xda premium
Yeah I actually realized his is the 4g one neither version seems to have very much support of any kind I wonder if it would be possible to take the ics rom off the new one and make it work on the old one but that is far beyond my scope most I can get is a file dump from the 4g the rest would have to be left to much more capable hands lol all I can even find on the 4g version is rooting it

I've found a few methods to root it. You just need adb and google lol
My dad has the original commando, and his upgrade is in April. It's a ways off, but I may be able to make a port of CM for it from my OG droid CM7 rom since they are similar. I'm not sure yet, since I've never tried making a CM port before, but I'll give it a shot after I get my new phone and customize it around the same time. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to release a stable port for it.

Hey guys i have read hundreds of posts and just want to know if i am missing anything before i count this as a total loss.
I was about to upgrade from Hairy Bean 3.5 to 4.2 I am rooted and unlocked.
First i have done many roms on many devices.
What i did was tried to get into clockwork, 2 times i shutdown and did the vol down and power and then hit vol up and it would say loading recovery kernel but never made it anywhere, so i held power down until it reboot into android, the i did the reboot into recovery from android and it did the same them, next i opened rom manager did the latest clockwork recovery and then rebooted into recovery from rom manager, it shut off and made it back to the Asus logo with the "the device is unlocked" in upper left corner and the Nvidi Tegra in lower right corner. Thats as far as i can get. i have tried the vol down and power again and nothing. it always gets back to that screen.
I can hold both power buttons and connect the usb and computer will see a APX and Unknown device in windows manager, but no drivers, i have tried the universal drivers but they dont work. i also download the asus stuff from asus and nothing helped either.
Any help would be great. Thanks to this great forum and great people as i have used it for years.

You have bricked your device.
You have installed an ics recovery onto the jellybean bootloader. There are warnings everywhere on xda saying not to use cwm on the prime.
If you cannot get back to the bootloader menu where the icons are or you cannot boot back into android it is game over I'm afraid.

So am i stuck? i didnt know it was a ICS recovery? i have used CW on the unit for almost a year and half, and never had a issue until today. Is there somewhere i can send the prime to, to get it fixed? or is it back to ASUS and pay them big bucks to fix it? Is there anything at all i could try before giving up on it?
thanks

You have not used cwm on that device since that nvidia logo has been bottom right. You updated the bootloader with a ROM at some point to jellybean and that is why you had no recovery there. You then tried putting cwm back on which was not for jellybean and you killed it sorry.
Only hope now Is Asus who could charge you up to 200 dollars to fix it.
Edit. there was a custom cwm at one point made by Wookie for his port of the tf300 ROM to the prime originally. This was never given out for long but the versions you say of hairybean in your first post never existed. We are only on 2.2 now and you are talking about 3.5 and 4.2.

Sorry i was on 1.5 and was going to go to 2.11. Not sure were i got the other numbers. I guess i will try to send it back to ASUS and see what happens if there is nothing else to do.
So is it a software or hardware isssue? I am assuming is software issue and there is just not a way to reflash it?
thanks again for the help.

Most times Asus will try to replace the motherboard which is not needed.
If you be straight with them and tell them you messed up the recovery partition when flashing it and that there is nothing wrong with the hardware and could they please reflash it you might get lucky and have less of a bill.

Ok i will see what happens, so is it just a flash they have to do? I am assuming you need a special machine to flash it or is it done from a computer to flash it?
Update:
So i sent my prime back to Asus, after a week they said it was customer induced damaged and was not covered under warranty. They said it need to have the motherboard replaced at a cost of almost $300.
I told them what i did, as someone here told me to, and said i mess up the recovery partition and it just needed to be flashed and didnt need a new motherboard.
This is there response:
There are limitations to what we can do on the service side and the service dept does not have the capability to flash the unit so all we can offer is hardware replacement. Please advise.
Not sure what to do next, am i just out of luck? i can buy another one for less then $300?
Thanks for the help again.
buy a motherboard on eBay - $80 - $100, I just did, I replaced
I just did the same thing to mine; installed CMW on my TF201 latest stock JellyBean. Unlocked and rooted. Only had the thing for about a week. Can you tell me if the "mainboard" they are selling on ebay will work? Also did you find a tutorial to follow with replacing the board - if so where? Thanks - Bill
Yes does anyone know of, or have a video tutorial on how to take these apart and replace, i changed the digitize on my TF101, not a big deal.

Hi,
I was just wondering: Have you rooted your device and have you installed twrp for your specific device? (I know, sounds like a dumb question, but you'll be suprised how many people install wrong versions). Because if you have rooted your device properly, and you installed twrp (one for your device), then you should be just fine. But I'm afraid that you haven't, and that therefore the screen is all fuzzy. And also, is the screen fuzzy in the twrp menu, or when you are on (e.g) the homescreen? If the second option doesn't apply, then you are not bricked. Please answer and give as much information as possible on what you did, then I might be able to help you. (btw, it's very unlikely that you are hard-bricked and that your device won't be able to be repaired)
(and a happy new year )

I was just wondering: Have you rooted your device and have you installed twrp for your specific device? (I know, sounds like a dumb question, but you'll be suprised how many people install wrong versions). Because if you have rooted your device properly, and you installed twrp (one for your device), then you should be just fine. But I'm afraid that you haven't, and that therefore the screen is all fuzzy. And also, is the screen fuzzy in the twrp menu, or when you are on (e.g) the homescreen? If the second option doesn't apply, then you are not bricked. Please answer and give as much information as possible on what you did, then I might be able to help you. (btw, it's very unlikely that you are hard-bricked and that your device won't be able to be repaired)
(and a happy new year )

Yes i root my device before i installed twrp , when i boot my tablet twrp boots up the screens goes alll blurry / fuzzy with colors then it becomes normal recovery menue i installed twrp touch so i should be able to touch the setting but i can't i press the power button and a fuzze Unlock with ''Slide to unlock'' comes up but i can't slide to unlock it.. Oh yeah and it is upside down so i have to turn my tablet upside ..
I think[I know] i installed the wrong version of twrp which does not work for my device, Is there any way i could get rid of this recovery or factory reset?
What kind of tablet do you have? Does the bootloader support fastboot? If so you should be able to flash the proper recovery. If not does adb work when in recovery? You may be able to change it here. Also your OEM may have a download mode to flash firmware, this may be another option.

I have a Allwinner A31 table to be precise ubonton u705a
I have tried adb but it just says [waiting for device] so I guess ADB does not work.
I don't know anything about bootloaders it had an option of fastbooting in the power menus if that means anything sorry for my lack of description Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

I think the easiest would be to just install the right version, the same way you installed this version. You are still able to connect your device to your pc, I guess, so you should be fine. To go back to your stock recovery, find the stock recovery for your device (you can probably find it somewhere here on the forums), and flash it.
Hope this works and good luck

Any where in the device.
might be in home screen or in Device menu ..
i saw a post adding reboot , recovery and bootloader options in Power menu ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449007 )
but its very complicated.
Note - :
I only want Reboot Option,
So is there any way i can simply add ONLY Reboot Option in my Device? (Plz Dont tell me to download apps from play )

oke but what about Karbonn Titenium S2 or Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean?
Is it possible to add?
If you are looking for easy, you're out of luck. Adding this directly into the rom would require knowledge in decompiling / compiling apps, smali code editing, as well as being rooted as just the beginning steps. Knowing how to load the original firmware / software from the manufacturer in case it doesn't work and gets you stuck in a bootloop is almost certainly something you should be able to do before you even think of attempting. Either way, you'll need to root. Only other way to reboot the phone is via terminal and adb commands.

You'd have to find a dev that is familiar with your phone, or at least Karbonn software. They don't sell these phones in the US, so I've absolutely no experience with them. There are general guidelines for doing stuff like this, but it's very specific to your firmware as well, especially if Karbonn has a special UI that needs it's own kind of app decompiler or rules to decompile like HTC Sense software or MIUI. It's gonna be 100x easier and faster to just root it and reboot with an app.
Have you tried something like holding the power and volume up or volume down buttons (at the same time) for several seconds?

Android has that option. You would have to ask Karbonn why they were too lazy to enable or add the code. Many other Android phones have this standard including most popular Samsung, HTC, LG, and Sony phones, just to name a few.

you can also add via lidroid toggles but you have to decompile and compile systemui and framework

I tried, here are the outcome :
1) Pressed power and volume down button = Take Screen Shot.
2) Pressed power and volume Up button = Nothing Happened.
3) Pressed power and volume Up & down button Together = Phone Switched Off.

But I think Android is removing this option in Phone .
If its not, then why android did not provide the reboot option in "MOTO G" ?? ( Motorola , owned by Google.)
My bro has Moto G(8 Gb). but there is no Reboot Option in Power Menu. (Only power Off & Airplane Mode is Available)

Nope. 2 phones does not make a trend. I own a cell repair shop and see dozens of different phones every week. The majority offer reboot options. But save yourself the hassle, root and install an app like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle unless you want to play with the decompiling, compiling of the app and reinstalling of an app like the systemui without having a custom recovery and a nandroid backup, which, I am trying to tell you, is a bad idea. I used to be a recognized themer back in the day and have done many mods like this. Doing this without a custom recovery is foolish unless you LIKE restoring your phone from the soft bricked state.
If your phone is rooted, install the Xposed Framework (if you haven't already) and try this module.

Heh Can't believe that one didn't come to me. Was just thinking of the easier toggle solution. Xposed is amazing though.

Others posted about Xposed modules, I didn't notice if you said you are rooted or not, but if you are, and you install Xposed (not entirely difficult to install if you know enough to root), then checkout GravityBox, it works with lots of stock roms, and it has an option to add an Advanced Reboot menu, it even has a Screenshot option.
That is the best thing I could reccommend, if you are uncomfortable with something like that, then you really don't have any other choice but to install some kind of widget from the Play Store, I know you said not to say that, but it's just a fact, if your phone doesn't have a restart feature (which would be quite rediculous, haven't seen an Android phone like that), and you can't figure out how to use something like Xposed, then the Play Store is your only real option.
