Can this new recovery be used to flash CyanogenMod 6.1.1??? I just got the new recovery update on rom manager and was going to flash cyanogenmod 6.1.1 and just checking. I thought the new recovery was for flashing Gingerbread roms?? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vinny
I don't see why not. You can try and if it don't work you can flash an older version in ROM Manager

I am not sure about that. But one thing for sure is it is not good for MM's CM7. I have loop-reboot problem with this. I cannot even restore to any custom roms except my froyo stock. :-( Now, I have to downgrade to 2.5.x.x to see if my custom roms work again.
See development section.
EDIT: I successfully restore other custom roms using lower version of Clockworkmod. But the loop-reboot problem of MM's CM7 remains the same.
I guess I won't find out until I try. Newly rooted and going to give CyanogenMod a try. Know I am going to be happy as hell with it.
Thanks
The new recovery should be fine with flashing any roms. As for any standing problems with it, im am uncertain. You may want to wait 2 weeks or so to see if their are any problems from people using it. Personally I like Amon ra so i cant say.

A full wipe is necessary to upgrade to gingerbread roms from any lower android versions. Did u full wipe? + Dalvik cache wipe?

Yes. I did full wipe on everything. I even fix permission. No luck at all.

I used it to flash and install tonight's build successfully...
I have a "side question".
To flash any GingerBread flavor, do we need 3.x.x.x ou 2.5.x.x is working?
I haven't give CM7 a try yet, but I'm not sure if I need/want to upgrade to 3.x.x.x, 2.5.1.4 work well for me.

I got it too. No more crazy rebooting. I solve it by reformatting my SD card and recreating ext3. I guess 3.0.0.5 recovery messed up my ext3 partition. Now, MM CM14 is working pretty well. FYI, I am using 2.5.1.4 recovery.
Yeah it was working good till I try to do a restore, lets just say I;m up all night trying to restore my phone. I think my EXT partition messed up too as DTa2sd is giving me all kinda of headache.
doesn't work with MIUI for me!
don't understand that, but luckily its not a big deal flashing older versions!

I hear you there! That was me last night! DON'T USE 3.0.0.5! The only fix I found to actually work was to completely format my SD card and then re-partition it, then use RA and a fresh install. What a pain in the arse!
Same thing here. Switched to 3.0.0.5, and the next thing, my ext was fried and I had to reformat the entire card. Could be coincidence, but...

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to the modding of Android phones (my previous phone was a TYTN II) and I'm having some problems restoring my backups via Clockwork mod (which is a bit of a pain in the ass for me, as I think you understand).
Ive tried to flash my phone and stuff, but I can't download apps from market/start google talk (I know this is related to eachother) when I have a mdc rom installed. This is not really the problem I'm asking a solution for, but the real problem is, that I can't go back to my old rom and stuff. I have rooted my phone, installed CWM, made a backup, but somehow it keeps freezing at the loading screen of the phone whenever I have restored a backup and reboot the phone.
Atm I have resetted my phone with NVFlash, I have not yet innstalled anything but I still have a backup which I'd like to restore. This is my situation:
LG-P990: Android 2.2.2, Baseband 1035.21_20110315 (I updated this with Paul's update), Kernel 2.6.32.9, Build: FRG83G, LGE version: v10b.
Anyone has an idea what I'm doing wrong? Did I miss a step in the process? Please help me out!
I'm no expert, so you should probably wait for one of them, but I had a similar problem and it's important to do a wipe before installing the ROM. (There's two wipe options, run them both)

please check if the DATE in your settings is correct. the rom I had previously installed was set to MAY and this made it impossible to use gtalk and download roms.
yeah sounds silly, but worth checking
ah well since you have reset already. but maybe you get back in the same situation at one time.
Thanks for the quick replies.
@Marco_ch: I already tried the date problem, literally went thru 100 of pages to find out what the issue was with the gtalk, but nothing helped, so I'm guessing I made a mistake with the rooting or something...
I already reset, but this is the third time I've reset, I've already tried flashing my device 3 times and each time I end up not being able download apps.
@Jakkelomme: As far as I know there is only 1 wipe option? Reset factory settings? I always do that before I install a rom yes.
well I had the same problem (gtalk, market) but I gave it another shot with this:
http://romkitchen.org/lg/?s=generator
its running brilliantly on my device. have you tried that one yet?
Tried it a few days ago, when it was anotehr version, might try it again now, thanks. Which options do you suggest (I'm not that much of an expert )
Edit: Though i wish someone had a solution for me not being able to restore via CWM!
oh you dont want suggestions from me - I have that device for a couple of days only and dont even know how to properly make a backup
but I chose the following:
EXT 4
Pauls Kernel
Left out all the LG Stuff as I find it kinda useless and laggy
good luck!

Did everything you asked, installed new version of Romkitchen with the stuff you suggested... Still doesnt download appss. Still stuck at "Starting download...". Help, anyone?
Nevermind guys, I fixed it. Turned out the problem WAS with date & time. My provider made the date 12/05/'11 instead of 12/04/'11. It was why I couldnt download from the market. Thank you all for helping out anyway
Sorry if this has been asked before but I have searched and didn't find any answers.
I have never been able to restore a nandroid backup on the Galaxy S. I go through the restore procedure in recovery and everything seems to restore correctly, no errors reported, says restore successful, but when the phone boots up from recovery it hangs on the boot screen.
I've tried with lots of different roms/kernels. I've wiped thoroughly before restoring. I'm even trying to restore from the same version, i.e. JVH or JVP, always the same result. I'm not trying to restore between cm7/samsung roms or froyo/gingerbread or even different versions. An example is, I was on Darky 10.1re. I did a nandroid. I tried a few other roms (F1, GingerReal, Tweaky), tried to nand back to Darky's, appears to restore without problems until the reboot where it hangs on boot screen. Also tried to restore to nadroids of the above roms with the same results.
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong, I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious as nobody else seems to be having trouble with backups.
Thanks.
I could imagine it would be hard to point out what the exact problem is, unless someone has experienced this issue before. Which I haven't, sorry. Not on my SGS, nor on my SGS2. But it sounds like a compatibility problem to me. You say you've never been able to restore, have you had the same problem with Darky ROMs prior to 10.x, perhaps 9.5? Have you used Darky's Dark Core kernel along with it?
The same thing is happening to me. Used to nandroid restore on froyo and never had a problem. The last 2 times that I tried to restore (with Ginger 2.3.3 and 2.3.4) I had problems, both times with Criskelo´s rom and Darkcore Kernel. The restore begins normally but suddenly stops and there is no way to revert the semi-brick other than odin. BTW, I never use lagfix.
Used nandroid backup and restore successfully on gingerbread on both speedmod and galaxian kernels

I have same problem and i ended using nandorid backup which is very usefull.
I think this started at beginning of Gingerbread kernels using.

Thanks for your suggestions. The first rom I installed after buying my Galaxy S was the current Darky one at the time, v10 rc something. Didn't try the older ones. At first I always used the Dark Core kernel, even with other roms. Still couldn't restore.
I've also tried a mixture of roms/kernels since then with no luck with the nandroid.
Could it be something to do with the recovery? I noticed different roms/kernels install a different recovery. Maybe it's only possible to restore using the same recovery as was used to take the backup? But if this was the case, surely other people would be having the same problem?
Thanks.

Yes I remember reading about that. That's what I put it down to in the beginning, but now it's been fixed and it still doesn't work for me. Not even with other kernels.
Well, it's not the end of the world I suppose. Just makes me more reluctant to try different roms as I'm too lazy to go through the whole odin/flashing/restoring process every time lol.
Thanks for your suggestions guys
With Dark Core kernel 2.7.x and 2.8 i have the same problems when i'm on rfs, backup function is ok but restore doesn't work. With ext4 conversion enabled backup and restore work as they should.
I've found a solution, just in case anyone else is having the same problem this is how I got around it.
I downloaded and installing the latest cwm using Rom Manager, so any backups are taken on 3.0.0.5. When changing roms I had to download and install the same recovery with Rom Manager and restore using the same 3.0.0.5. For some reason it only works when using rom manager. If I try to restore manually in recovery it doesn't work. If I try to restore with any other recovery version it doesn't work. So for me my nandroid backups only restore between the exact same recovery versions.
Sounds fairly obvious now, after thinking about it lol, but this has been giving me a major headache for weeks now.
Quick question to the vivid folks, does thecubed's restore work? (the one from ICS to GB). I was reading through some of the questions and it seems like some people had trouble working it out. Has anyone had success with it? I dont want to end up like the guy who had his radios deleted...
I can't directly answer your question. If you are stock and un-rooted the update through ATT works really well. I had no issues whatsoever with the update..
My issue with ICS right now is there no voice dialer when using bluetooth. Other than that it is really fluid and works well.
im on the pre rooted ics and i dont really like it. I'm going back to GB.
never used thecubed's method, but i have installed holiraider(gb) rom after ive installed pgs rumfloat(ics) with no problems
just flashed the boot.img through fasboot then flashed the rom zip on cwm
and everything worked fine
hope this helps

I can only assume that when you say "that guy" you mean me, but that method works, but it won't downgrade your radio back to the gb radio. what you thought was deleted radios was a result of swapping out RIL files so the rom didn't know what show in the info because the files are different and can't be swapped out like on other htc phones such as the inspire 4g. and the reason i was playing around with that is because i believe it's what causes people hearing their echo back when i talk to them while i'm on speakerphone.
with that being said, good luck to you. let me know if you have similar issues otherwise ur stuck on ics

I can vouch for this as well. I flashed back and forth between ICS and GB ROMS. Just fastboot flash the boot image and do not try to reflash any HBOOT to go back to GB or you will likely brick your Vivid.

I used thecubeds' GB restore 2x: #1 went from ICS RUU.52 to GB then did the OTA to .56 and #2 my wifes phone got an error during the .56 OTA install. I just pulled the battery and put in my EXT SD with the PH file and went back to GB then did the OTA again with success. It's pretty simple and worked perfectly both times. Glad I have that file. Thanks thecubed!
Hi guys , I already posted thread here about internet not working after flashing radio because I thought that flashing radio messed up connection on my phone, so i reflash rom and everything was working fine although I didnt figured out what happened.
Today i went to twrp 2.6.0 and did nandroid backup of my current rom (viper one) ,so everything passed fine. After that since I reboot I am not available to access to internet over phone. wifi or 3g doesnt matter.
I have a lot of UnknownHostExceptions in logcat. I dont know what can cause this because I had internet then I did nandroid backup and I rebooted.
Tried to wipe out dalvik but that didnt help .
So exactly happen the same thing that happened to me when i was flashing radio through recovery , just in that case i thought it is related with radio so i reflashed rom. I wouldnt like now to reflash rom , so if someone can give me advice what to try ..
Thanks in advance

I'd flash the ROM again with a clean install and see if the problem persists. It's not ideal with having to set up everything again but it normally solves any issues.
i would like to try to solve it differently
