How to get CWM on your Extreme (Formally-I'm giving up)

[Trashcooky]

I have edited all 80 posts on this thread to reflect the new topic title that several of you asked it to be changed to.

It's much easier to just do it from a terminal. Install JACK PALEVICH Terminal Emulator from Play and do the following:

- Unpack CMW file and copy install-recovery.sh and recovery.img to a
directory (eg CWM) on the sdcard on the tablet.
- Open a terminal and become root:
su -

- Busybox doesn't have a cp command, so use cat to get the files into
the right directory:

cat /mnt/sdcard/CWM/recovery.img > /data/recovery.img
cat /mnt/sdcard/CWM/install-recovery.sh > /data/install-recovery.sh


- Change the permissions on the shell script and run it:

cd /data
chmod 755 install-recovery.sh
./install-recovery.sh

Thanks - this CWM installation method avoiding the USB driver install worked great for me. I finally plucked up the courage to give it a go yesterday, and am now very happily running the CM9 build on my Extreme. Just wish I had backed up my apps using Titanium Backup first. Ho hum. Anyway, re-downloading them from Google Play is a good opportunity to be a bit more selective and only reinstall the things I will actually use.

Hi Trashcooky,

Sorry to be pedantic, but your edited thread heading should read: ***(FORMERLY-I'm giving up).

The present version could give the impression to site newbies that it isn't worth trying!

Seems like Kevin beat me to it on the OP which has cascade edited all the others except your's and Piers' post which leaves it like you want it.

Please stop calling me Pier's I've seen so many people do it.

My bad - (grammer) - corrected to Piers' as it was the post that belongs to you that I was refering.
