Until now, the package "iFive X2 Android 4.4.2 CWM Recovery by ManuPC" to enable CWM Recovery on KitKat tablets was enabled only on models that were reported to be compatible. There are many requests to enable it for other models, so we did. It should now be visible to any tablet.

You can try on your Rockchip based KitKat tablet, please report how it goes to help the community.

The usual disclaimer applies: our application and CWM package come with no warranty for any use; you use it at your own risk. Make sure you first have a backup of your data before testing firmwares or recovery procedures.

Hi,

Thanks for adding the CWM to the list.

Unfortunately, it hangs, I get:

Installing recovery.img

Running script (1)

Then that's it, recovery reboot still ends up with the fallen over android.

Cheers

Vince

Sorry if this is a daft question, but is the Arnova 7G3 one of these devices? If not, is there a version of this mod for it?

No the 7G3 is a RK2918 chip and as far as I know they haven't developed a similar version for the RK2918 chips.. I asked awhile back and was told it would be done but was low on the priority list.

I had the 7GB3 and if anyone can tell me how to get the case open I would be grateful as I need to re-solder the power.

Hi! I have a tablet based on RK3168 (Android 4.2). I am trying to install CWM (tried the generic image). When reboot into recovery, there is a debug on bottom:

E: Can't find misc

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't find misc

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't find misc

On normal android boot, mount cmd gives me:

root@android:/ # mount
rootfs / rootfs ro,relatime 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0

/dev/block/vold/31:9 /mnt/secure/asec vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
tmpfs /mnt/sdcard/.android_secure tmpfs ro,relatime,size=0k,mode=000 0 0

And cat cmd:

root@android:/ # cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00400000 00004000 "misc"
mtd1: 00800000 00004000 "kernel"
mtd2: 01000000 00004000 "boot"
mtd3: 02000000 00004000 "recovery"
mtd4: 04000000 00004000 "backup"
mtd5: 08000000 00004000 "cache"
mtd6: 40000000 00004000 "userdata"
mtd7: 00400000 00004000 "kpanic"
mtd8: 40000000 00004000 "system"
mtd9: 333c00000 00004000 "user

Now, rebooting in recovery with cwm, those block devices does not exist:

~ # mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime)

~ # cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name

Extracting stock recovery.img to look at recovery.fstab I have:

cat recovery.fstab
# mount point   fstype          device                  [device2]
/mnt/sdcard          vfat            /dev/block/mtd/by-name/user
/mnt/external_sd                vfat            /dev/block/mmcblk0p1    /dev/block/mmcblk0
/system         ext4            /dev/block/mtd/by-name/system
/cache          ext4            /dev/block/mtd/by-name/cache

/custom         ext4            /dev/block/mtd/by-name/custom
/misc           mtd             misc
/parameter      mtd             parameter
/boot           mtd             boot
/recovery       mtd             recovery
/backup         mtd             backup

Any idea How I can make it work?

Thanks.

Controls in CWM Recovery

Controls are done thru hardware buttons on your tablet : Vol-/Vol+ to go up and down, power button to validate choices. For tablets without these hardware buttons, you can either use a keyboard/mouse connected to your tablet using an USB OTG (Other the Go) cable, or use gestures on the touchscreen: touch and move up to select up, touch and move down to select down, swipe left to accept or swipe right to go back.

But, how do you boot in Recovery mode in a M9 Pro 3G? What are buttons to press in the attached OTG keyboard?

Can anybody help? I find nothing about that.

Thankls

My tablet is Cube U30GT2 and runs KitKat 4.4.2.

I wanted to reinstall KitKat 4.4.2.

I must have done something wrong.I think I followed the instructions, but when klicking the reboot-button in CMW-recovery, my U30GT2 stopped completly and the flash light started, nothing more.

Pushed the powerbutton for 10 sec. and the light went off, but started som secs. later.

Can't connect to PC via Rockchip tools.

Someone who can help me?

Ulf

The "iFive X2 Android 4.4.2 CWM Recovery by ManuPC" that is listed in post #1 is a good option for anyone looking for a ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery on a RK tablet running KitKat. Still it has limitations such as not being able to support sdcard for storage.

It's been a while that Oma, the great developer from Crew RKTablets has made a custom CWM that fixes the problem. With Oma's permission, we have made an ArcTools package with this recovery image, it should appear in your ArcTools package list under the name:

"(OMA / CrewRKTablets) CWM Recovery 6.0.3.1 for Android 4.4.2 KitKat on RK tablets (loader Gen2)".

Installation works the same as the other CWM packages listed in post #1.

This package should be used only an Rockchip based tablets running Android 4.4.x (KitKat) with a Gen2 Rockchip loader ( RK3188Loader(L)_V2.xx.bin )

We hope you like it

Cheers.

Hello,

After you load a firmware in Rockchip Batch Tool, the Rockchip loader version appears as you can see in the picture below (illustration shows a Rockchip loader 2.10 on a PiPO M9 KitKat firmware)

Normally all Android 4.4 KitKat firmwares from the manufacturer are using a Rockchip loader version 2
(the number shown in Rockchip Batch Tool should be 2.something). To my knowledge, no manufacturer have provided KitKat firmwares based on a Rockchip loader, there are only a few custom firmwares from independent developers such as Crew RKTablets.
