HOW TO INSTALL :

To install this cwm recovery we must use fastboot, just like on any other qualcomm devices. On linux, I usually get the fastboot tool from platform tool from android sdk google. I don’t know how to get the fastboot tool on winblows os platform, but I think it’s using the same source. However, since the android sdk from google is quite large for you that only need the fastboot parts, then I suggest you to using the minimal adb and fastboot from our fellow friend on xda : [TOOL]Minimal ADB and Fastboot
it’s relatively small and easy to install on winblows os platform and you may ask for support on their xda thread when you face any difficulties.
After you have a working adb and fastboot tool on your system, you can continue to flash the cwm using this simple steps :

  1. Copy the downloaded cwm from me on the same folder as adb and fastboot tool.
  2. Turn on your device and plug in the usb cable. (by default this T1 model already set to usb debugging mode ON, however if you turn it off manually, you have to enable it now)
  3. Use adb to reboot into bootloader mode : adb reboot bootloader
  4. The device will boot and stop on a blank black screen, that is the bootloader mode
  5. Now using fastboot tool we flash the cwm using this command : fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-t1.img
    There will be some output text underneath it, check for succesful text then you’re good.
  6. Pull out the usb cable from the device and turn off the device by pressing the power button for 10 seconds or more until it completely off. DO NOT let the device boot into the system or the cwm recovery will replaced again with the original recovery from qualcomm as part of their protection.
  7. From off position, you can enter the cwm recovery using key combination : Press Vol up and hold, press vol down and hold then press power button until the device vibrate and turned on. It will go directly to cwm recovery mode.

After you arrive on cwm recovery mode, you may install root using chainfire supersu package or my custom rom for Picopad T1 immediately. After you flashing chainfire supersu or my custom rom, the scripts on the installer will disable auto restore recovery from qualcomm and the cwm will stick on the device forever.

Here is the screenshot on my console command while I’m flashing this on my linux machine. Should be the same output even on winblows machine.

OK, I think it’s pretty clear, have fun and happy flashing custom roms for your PICOpad T1
