CWM Recovery for CX-919 Quad Core TV STICKS is coming :)

First, this cwm receovery is not made by us, it is by our friends in freaktab, they helped to make the cwm receovery file. so here we go:

What is cwm recovery?

Is a recovery image that let us to make backups and restore of our actual firmware with all our applications installed, it makes a mirrored copy of our system. Very useful if you want to try install new roms and after test it you want to come back at the state you had before.

You can too install roms in cwm zip format (I will do a generic zip soon so you can install roms using this way) without use any external pc so simply, you copy the zip to the sdcard and flash it from cwm recovery.
This tool have more functionality like clear data,clear cache, mount and unmount file-system, format them, etc…

YOU DON’T NEED TO BE ROOT TO INSTALL CWM RECOVERY IN YOUR SYSTEM. So you can use it to make a backup of the stock rom or any rom installed in your stick.

From cwm we cant modify our partitions space, so we cant modify user app size or system size.

How to install it?
A very good explication by MhagnumDw with other method to install it:

If you installed any Finless ROM, so I’ll assume you know how to do get into flash mode and also know other things.

0) Open ROM Flash Tool.exe
1) Enter the flash mode
2) Extract the recovery.img from specific cwm image, rename it to recovery-cwm.img and place it in the folder FinlessROM (this step is only to facilitate the next step)
3) Let marked only the “recovery” and set the path FinlessROM\recovery-cwm.img (see image)
4) And last click Flash ROM

It is a explication for the rk3066 devices, but it will work for the rk3188 devices too.

A new way to install cwm recovery from any rom and without pc. (Not tested yet, under construction)

1. Install from play store the free apps Terminal emulator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=es)and busybox installer(https://play.google.com/store/apps/d….busybox&hl=es)
2. Open busybox installer, grant superuser permission,Use normal install (Not smart Install) then when it finish close the app.
3. Download http://www.freak-tab.de/leolas/cwm/term-install.zipfrom your stick, it must be downloaded in /sdcard/download/ (this is the default folder if you use the stock browser for download it.
4. Download your specific cwm zip from this thread and it need to be in /sdcard/download too.
5. Open Terminal emulator and write:

Code:
su
cd /sdcard/Download
unzip term-install.zip
unzip theNameOfYourSpecificCwmRecovery.img.zip
mv theNameOfYourSpecificCwmRecovery.img cwm-recovery.img
sh cwm.sh

Replace theNameOfYourSpecificCwmRecovery for your specific cwm zip name, for example in imito qx1 it will be qx1-cwm-recovery
After write su you must grant superuser permission to terminal emulator.

I hope the instructions are enough clear but if you have any question I will be for here CWM Recovery for CX-919 Quad Core TV STICKS is coming :)

  1. I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of my CX 919. I plan on installing the Finless Rom straight away but I would like to make a android back-up first. I hadn’t found an easy way of doing this yet so I hope that flashing this recovery will resolve that problem. If it is possible to boot into recovery on the device is there any way of getting Roms like Finless in a zip file? It certainly would make life much easier by the sound of things. I hope to see continued development for this device.
    Thanks!
