I am trying to install cwm recovery through fastboot. I tried executing the command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

But I am getting the error as partition 'recovery' not support flash. Please any one help me to fix this. Whether I need to change anything on the recovery partition?

  • Have you installed the HBOOT drivers and the Android SDK? – RossC Aug 14 '14 at 10:20
  • Yes, its going into fastboot mode. adb and fastboot are working fine in command prompt. Also "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" are showing my device. – Guna Sekaran Aug 14 '14 at 10:25
  • Worth checking the basics first I guess. That's strange, the next thing I guess is what device do you have, do yo have the correct CWM version for that device? Usually when I see this happen it is due to the device being a fake, or the wrong file being flashed, or a PIT file used in error. Could something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982576 help you at all? – RossC Aug 14 '14 at 10:41
  • SP Flash tool is very new to me. Can you explain how to proceed? And CWM version might be right one. My device is Lenovo S920, running official 4.4.2, which I received as update OTA 2 days before. – Guna Sekaran Aug 14 '14 at 11:14
  • I don't use SP Flash myself, nor do I ever use CWM (I've had nothing but issues over the years) so I can't say to be honest. Did you try something like : http://www.jellydroid.com/2013/11/how-to-install-cwm-on-lenovo-s920/ this maybe? It might help out. – RossC Aug 14 '14 at 11:20

try this: first, root your device, and install root explorer. go to /system/ and delete this file "recovery-from-boot.p". use SP Flash tool, and install cwm through it. it's worked for me (lenovo a316i)
