[RECOVERY] CWM 6.0.4.7 on Mediapad X1 - for 4.4.2 !!! - Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard

Hi everyone,
I successfully flashed CWM 6.0.4.7 on my 501L X1. This is thanks to the great folks at android-hilfe.de who compiled the links and most importantly the talented people at huafans.cn who created it.
This is NOT my work but I am sharing it for everyone's benefit. It helps if you can read Chinese though

You're from Malaysia as well right?
Anyway, this came from the Chinese huafans forum, so it should work with the 503L, and even the 501u. If you can read Chinese, you may check it out.

didn't work with my 501u on the tw 4.4.2 firmware,

Dear Sir,
So far I did not try installing the Chinese recovery. I would like to do a full back-up BUT I don't see in your translation how to go "Back to previous menu" in Chapter 5 to reboot device.
Any suggestion, and did you try to back-up yours?
Kindly yours from an old man:angel:

Sorry missed that.
The last option showing
+++++ 返回上一级+++++
means "back to previous"
This is in the last line of every chapter
Yes I did successful backup. Will try restore sometime tonight.

No boot recovery...
I did step after step exactly what you did, but it doesn't reboot in Chinese recovery.
Download recovery_cn.img, put it in My internal SD, then flash with Flashify then try to boot with Flashify menu.
I stay with The Huawei Logo on for 1 or 2 minutes then boot normally.
The only difference is that you flash recovery from 4.22 and I did from Kitkat Maj 102

Hi bvannier,
In Flashify, there is an option to reboot to Recovery directly.
On the top right of Flashify, click the 3 squares menu.
It will show you options for
Reboot
Reboot recovery <== click this
Reboot bootloader

Reboot recovery
Think you but it's what I did already. I flash again the recovery file with Flashify but still no luck, no recovery menu on start up when clicking on Reboot recovery option.

I'm not sure why it won't work for you, as @zertux in the other thread could do it, and so have several others in my home forum.
At worst, try the Vol Up + Power combo after you have shut down.
However, make sure you are PLUGGED IN VIA USB TO A PC. For some strange reason, getting to Recovery and Fastboot modes on this device needs you to have your device connected to a PC.

Dear sir,
Back to you this morning, and I might need your advice/help because Vol Up + Power combo after you have shut down does NOTHING!
Did you, by any chance, backup the original previous Stock Recovery in Flashify?
If yes, would you be kind enough to send it to me?
That would be fair!

As I am running kitkat B102, is it safe to flash this recovery from B003 ROM?

CWM Recovery loop
Hi!
I have Mediapad X1 7d-501u and I successfully change stock recovery with this CWM v6.0.4.7. But now I have problem, because I cannot start Android, there is loop, so when I turn on device it goes into CWM Recovery. How is this possible? Thank you for all suggestions.

Dear sir,
If you still have this loop problem, if you can boot in bootloader there is a way to get back to your original recovery and then start Android like it was before.
Kindly yours from an old man:angel:
Here are the great advices from fellows that help me to get back to my original recovery
First : download and install "Huawei update extractor"
Second : download and install on your desktop : android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1 (Google is your friend)
Third : open your previous update.app with "Huawei update extractor" then extract previous recovery.img and copy it into Tools folder from "android-sdk-windows-1.6_r1"
Fourth : hold shift and right clic on fastboot folder for open a command
type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (you can paste in fastboot cmd window with right click)
click enter and VOILA
From Joytest :
you can extract the recovery.img from an update.app with the "Huawei update extractor" search on google.
ive the same issue i extract the recovery from YOUR ORIGINAL ROM and flash with fastboot (flashify dont work) and all its done
the fastboot command is: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
From Bypass83
put the recovery.img inside the fastboot folder
hold shift and right clic on fastboot folder for open a command
type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (you can paste in fastboot cmd window with right click)
click enter and fastboot wait for your device
put your phone in fastboot mode holding up and power (or down and power ) for 5sec
it enter in fastboot mod now you can connect to your computer
fastboot must automaticaly begin flashing .
don't worry if you find its quick its normal
have a good trie
Thinks to Benny888 for images
HOPE IT WILL HELP like They did for me

Solved
to bvannier:
YOU SAVED THE DAY!!!
Thank you your suggestion works. When I tried to install ROM by CWM, there was error message "E:footer is wrong". I tried all ROMs I found (for 7D-501u). But with original recovery I was able to install the ROM and it works now.
Thank you!

@bvannier you have nicely summarised the steps to recover from a faulty recovery. I would like to post this to Lowyat page 1 with your permission.
