How to Install Clockworkmod on the Scroll Tablet - NOT Excel

[pwilko123]

everything (I get the impression im looking in the wrong place) i.e. every conceivable device apart from the one im looking for

Im in device manager, elclair device, update drive, choose the one to install

[Warpedflash]

I will do a bit more testing lol

Backup complete!

nice one - glad you got it backed up ok

does the sd card you back up have to be empty 1st or can i use the 16Gb one i have put in the scroll, with other data stored on it, that i want to keep (ie mps files, etc)?

I'm not sure what was wrong with my setup, but I struggled in vain to get a couple of Windows 7 machines, one 32 bit and one 64 bit to install the supplied drivers to use adb.

In the end I decided to try from a Linux box, since adb "just worked" with the Scroll in the Linux Android
SDK, and this went through without problems.

Briefly, what you need:

Linux Android SDK (running on Ubuntu 10.10 in my case)
A Linux copy of fastboot
recovery-clockwork-scroll.img from the first post

To do the deed:

- plug the Scroll in with USB debugging enabled
- "adb reboot bootloader" will take you to the Scroll splash screen
- "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-scroll.img" will install the clockworkmod recovery
- "fastboot reboot" reboots back to Android

Basically, I'm just running the Linux versions of the commands in the two Windows batch files by hand to install clockworkmod.

The reason I didnt write a how to for linux/osx is its so easy without having to touch the drivers

I have finaly got this installed and working via my Windows 7 (64bit) laptop.
If any one else is still having trouble with Windows 7 let me know and I will type up how I did it.

Hi Steveee

I am still having problems with the drivers for Win7 64Bit

Can you give me a pointer!

Cheers

Have you had any joy yet mate?

Tried the "Easy" route and no joy, I get a message saying, and I quote "error opening /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-scroll.img no file or directory" I have downloaded and extracted the zip file and it is copied to my SD card route directory. I can't actually see a file called recovery-scroll.img in the extracted folder so maybe I am just thick and have done something wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
