Hi
I have problems with these custom ROMs, I copy it to phone and when I go to recovery mode (Skyhawk SHRP beta release 3) to flash a custom rom I can't find the custom rom file, even if I put them on root directory (Internal storage).
There is a "sdcard" directory (recovery mode) it shows a few directories not sure what the are it looks like garbage I enter it but there is nothing there. Where is the custom rom file?

After flashing clockworkmod recovery via rom explorer my phone will not boot into clockworkmod recovery- only the stock android recovery mode. I did notice that the clockworkmod "recovery-update.zip" file contains files that *look* like they want to be in the root directory (ie /sbin/*), but some of these files do not exist in my root directory. I'm guessing maybe that rom manager did not successfully extract the contents of this zip file? Should I manually copy the contents of this zip file over to my root directory?
When you boot into recovery from ROM Manager..you may need to hit "reinstall packages" a couple of times
yup
Thanks, that did it.
Hi there,
I bought ZTE U819 and I was trying to replace the Chinese recovery, but I chose wrong recovery version by mistake, so:
- I Can´t access to my device recovery (Up Volume + power).When I try to enter, the device always restart
- I Can´t access to download mode (It would be because the bootloader was deleted? mobileuncle tools says (when I try to reboot into bootloader mode) "MTK android have not bootloader mode")
- The device doesn´t recognize the external SD and internal storage either but if I search in the system folder "data", I can see all the apps I´ve installed with iAPK.exe)
- I only can access to system folder through root explorer
- It´s rooted
The only way to install apk is with iAPK.exe
* I tried to edit vold.fstab but didn´t work.
* I tried to install the chinese original recovery from adb but I couldn´t, because when I write down fastboot don´t find any device and always says "waiting for devices" (I have installed all zte drivers at least I think so...)
* I tried to copy the correct recovery to "data" system folder through android commander, and I got, then I copied the recovery in "data" system folder and I tried to flash with terminal emulator, but it didn´t work
* I tried to flash other ROMs (I tried to install 6) which I copied to "data" system folder with Flash Gordon APK but it always says "Is not a valid flashable ZIP"
What can I do to sort it out?
Could I replace any folder from the original .ZIP ROM, I´ve installed in my device, to the system folder through android commander?
If it´s necessary, I can upload all the system folders from the device and anyone could check them and find the problem.
Thank you ever so much!!
Any advice?

I've the same problem, what is the solution?
I am bit late.. But why don't you flash stock ROM via SP Flash Tools, and flash correct recovery once again?
(Format everything except bootloader)
Hi guys, Anyone knows about custom rom or custom recovery for this device?

You can make your own ClockWorkMod custom recovery for ANY phone as follows:
WHAT YOU NEED
* Your phone with USB Debugging enabled
* Root access (in other words, your phone must be rooted)
* Busybox installed on your phone
* MTK Droid Tools
* Your computer
HOW TO DO IT:
1. Down load MTK Droid Tools and install on your desktop (do people still have those)
2. Install the Flashify app on your phone (from the Play Store)
3. Open Flashify on your phone
4. Select the Backup/Restore option
5. Back up the current kernel to your SD card (name it it stock_boot.img)
6. Back up the current recovery to your SD card (name it it stock_recovery.img) & close the Flashify app
7. Copy the two files from your SD card (it's saved under Android>data>com.cgollner.flashify>files>flashify-backup) to your desktop NOW YOU HAVE BACKUPS OF YOUR STOCK BOOT AND RECOVERY IMAGES IN CASE YOU EVER NEED THEM IN FUTURE
8. Run your MTK Droid Tools as Administrator and connect your phone to the desktop via USB (you'll see details about your phone in Phone Information ... you can ignore this but it does confirm that MTK Droid Tools recognizes your phone)
9. Now select the tab called "root, backup, recovery"
10. Click on the "Recovery and Boot" button
11. MTK is going to ask you where is the BOOT image for your phone...just select the BOOT image from the folder to which you copied the BOOT image on your laptop
12. MTK is now going to create a CWM custom recovery for your phone. It stores this in its subfolder called "recovery"
13. Now just go to this recovery subfolder. You will see TWO files. Now you rename the one that has "_recovery_" in the name to cwm_recovery.img. DO NOT MAKE THE BONEHEADED MISTAKE of using the file that has "_BOOT_PATCHED_" in the name!
14. Copy the newly renamed cwm_recovery.img to your SD card on the phone
15. Close the MTK Droid Tools program...it's work is done
16. Reopen the Flashify app
17. Select the Flash option and choose the RECOVERY IMAGE from the list of options. DO NOT...I REPEAT...DO NOT SELECT THE boot image OPTION. YOU WILL SURELY BRICK YOUR PHONE AND YOU WILL NEED TO FLASH A SYSTEM BACK TO THE PHONE. Since you have no custom recovery yet, you will be in a very difficult spot! DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT flash anything to the boot partition!!!!
18. Now that you have selected RECOVERY IMAGE, you can now choose the cwm_recovery.img and let flashify do its thing.
19. Once Flashify is done flashing, it will give you the option to REBOOT...do that
20. Behold your new CWM custom recovery
A couple important notes:
* I'm not responsible if you do something boneheaded like flashing the cwm_recovery.img to your boot partition and muck up your phone. I've already warned you repeatedly NOT to do that. It's an amateur mistake (that I made once...LOL!) DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE!
* You did not really need the stock_recovery.img file for anything. BUT I MADE YOU BACK IT UP JUST IN CASE (you can always flash your stock recovery back to the phone). SAVE YOUR STOCK RECOVER AND BOOT IMAGES.
* USE YOUR NEW CWM RECOVERY AND IMMEDIATELY BACKUP YOUR ENTIRE PHONE TO YOUR SD CARD AND PLACE A COPY SOMEWHERE ON YOUR DESKTOP! Now you have two copies. If you ever want to return your phone to stock, just restore your backup and reflash the stock recovery. Then UNROOT your phone. Now, you're completely stock.
* While you're at it, use MTK Droid Tools again and select the SCATTER FROM FILE (and save the map somewhere convenient).
Hello guys,
so i have messed up my ZenFone 5's booting configuration. good thing is, i know where i have messed up, unlike other noobs like myself. i have been modifying the adbon.sh file, where i added a conditional to check if a file(/dev/keycheck) exists and if it exists(will always return 'true'), to extract the contents of a recovery.tar(custom recovery). problem is, now i cannot boot normally into my device. if anyone can help me with three things, i'd be grateful.
1. How to modify the adbon.sh file using:
(a) preferred choice: using adb sideload <filename> ( i need to update THAT SPECIFIC FILE ONLY) ->(the file is in /system/bin/)
(b) secondary choice: using fastboot flash command. is it possible to update a single file using fastboot flash? (probably not, i think) should i have to flash the entire system partition with a stock/custom ROM? (i already know most about this, but a clear good guide can help me)(i know it will overwrite the total /system partition)
2. Give me a link to the original(stock) adbon.sh file if method 1(a) is possible.
3. Give me a compatible link to a CWM recovery for my device, ASUS_T00J (the recovery in my recovery.tar is a stock recovery, i got f**** fooled into downloading a stock one where i thought it was a custom CWM recovery)
