Hi,
I would like to flash a new baseband on because 0622 gives me terrible battery life. So I tried to do a nandroid backup from within CWM 4.0.0.9, but it keeps failing. It seems able to backup the boot image, recovery image, and system, but then says cant mount /data. The size of each backup seems to be just under 200MB.
I am running CM7 #84, with vorkkernel from Friday. I did convert my filesystem to ext4, and had to run the vorkkernel updater with the internal flag (so I think my CWM is also internal).
Can anyone help?
NOT DEVELOPMENT CLOSED USE THE Q & A or the genral section for such questions
Have you tried the last CWM ?
I've never been able to successfully restore a complete backup - something always ***** up along the way for me. I have to wipe, install the ROM, GAPPS, and then do an 'advanced restore' of just the /data/ partition.
Also, the latest CWM won't install for me. I just get "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands"
...whatever that means...
Thanks guys, I was able to solve this. I think I needed to upgrade from CWM 4.0.0.9 (obtained via rom manager) to 4.0.1.4 (obtained from a thread on these forums).
Once I had done that, I could backup to the internal SD card (previously it was trying to backup to the external SD card), and also restore the backup. So all fine.

I've the same problem.
But upgranding to CWM 4.0.1.4 doesn't helped me :/
If I've installed an ext4 rom, CWM are not able to do a nandroid backup...
With an ext3 rom, no problem.
You can make a nandroid backup with, for example, slick2x-F rom???

The recovery must be capable to support ext4 partition, try rusty's recoveries. And be sure you have enough free space on the sd card.

In my case I think it was because I was not using a version of recovery mod that was designed for the Optimus 2X. I also used the internal version, I'm not sure if that made any difference.

The recoveries from ROM Manager are designed for the O2X, and the 'official' builds. Mine are built from the same source but with a couple of minor changes... one of which is to allow EXT4 data partitions to be backed up.
Using internal or external version wouldn't have made any difference, that just lets you pick where you want your backups to be saved.

Yes, all Rusty's 4.0.x.x works perfectly with ext4 ROMs, I used Slick 2X - F and now Slick 2x G (also in ext4), and backups are not a problem.
Actually 4.0.1.0 External might not work on EXT4

with 4.0.1.4 I can't either mount /data partition with slick-F rom :/
Interesting, 'cos someone above you can. Wonder what would make yours different.

I'm wonderering the same.
I'm thinking to make a video of that :/
trying to install the external version, also if shouldn't be difference from internal.
I appreciate really much your help.
A last question:
peewster said me to "repartition everything" to make it work, what does it mean? How can i do that?

Yes! Now it works!!
Don't really know why, maybe first with internal version i've messed up something...now the external version it is working good!
Hmmm, that could just be another **** up on my part
Will look into it later and make sure I actually made the internal one work on EXT4.
But the internal 4.0.1.4 works fine for me! External 4.0.0.9 from rom manager did not. Also ext4.
If I restore an ext3 rom over an ext4 rom, what happens? Does it reformat the partition? Just wondering because I'm toying with the idea of a sort-of dual boot setup, where I change from a modaco type rom to a CM7 rom depending on need.
You need to convert back to EXT3 to do that, very easy to do so, there is a CWM script for it (wipes the phone though).
Or you could use the universal converter zip to convert CM7 to EXT4 instead.
I might investigate it, my CM7 is on ext4 right now, so my only problem would be that it is the only rom that uses ext4, everything else is on ext3.
But probably not really worth doing for me, since I would only gain HDMI mirroring. I dont really use A2DP and never use FM radio. HDMI mirroring does sound useful for an upcoming holiday though.
Hi Guys, just flashed my O2X with CM7 and it worked fine but for some reason its not detecting the internal storage. What happened is that I followed the instructions, saved the zip on my external sd card and then flashed it. Did I do something wrong?
Heyy could you say what CM7 version you are using? Plus it sounds like you did everything fine.

Nope, you did it right.
Sounds like you haven't used CM7 before, it's easy to think the internal SD is gone, but it isn't. CM7 by default mounts the external SD-card as /sdcard, where your internal card used to be mounted.
The internal card is at /mnt/emmc.
There is an option in the settings somewhere where you can switch them around (don't have CM7 installed at the moment, but just search in the CM7 Nightlies thread and you'll find lots of info about it.)

I think you are wrong, i am on CM7.1 and by default my internal sd card was in mnt/sdcard and external is mnt/emmc. Now I use FadeFX 1.6 update, which changes this to internal sdcard - mnt/sdcard and external sdcard to mnt/sdcardexternal_sd as it is on samsung ROMs..... (for this you need to check this feature in settings you mentioned) ....

Ok, they may have switched the defaults around since the last time I tried it. Doesn't take away from the main point of the post though. Mount points are different in CM7 from what people are used to, and confusing if you don't know about it.
But only external sd is different... internal it is the same, isn't it ???

No, I was right. (Just installed the latest nightly)
External card mounted as /mnt/sdcard, also reachable from a symbolic link /sdcard.
Internal card mounted as /mnt/emmc.
default install.
Because This feature was introduced from nightly #148 or something .... And he installed CM7.1 wich is nightly #144 I am on this too, so I know how it was after installation.

Nonsense. It's been like that since nightly #1. There were however KANGs floating around which switched mountpoints, you may have used one of those.
Thanks for the info guys...yes this is my first custom ROM and my first CM so sorry for being noob LOL
For some reason its now working. What I did was rebooted my phone, removed the external SD, and it somehow assigned sdcard for internal storage. Rebooted the phone and put back the external SD, and its now emmc...weird but it works now. I just have to move my apps all over the place

No i was on stock... I was reading nightly thread.... This is the way that I understand :
Before nightly #149 thing was fine, but after this nightly users must check option "use internal storage" and then everything works fine...
If i got it wrong, i apologize.

You're in the wrong forum, aren't you? That's why everything's confused, you're talking about CM7 on the Galaxy? This is the Optimus 2X forum.
Ohhhh my god .... can't believe how stupid this is.... I apologize for this. I am o cell phone, and did't see this.... so embaresed

For God's sake haven't you read the full description of cm7?
It had been said thousand times that internal card is mounted as /mnt/emmc.
Please dig around and read some documentation before flashing.

Boot up ur phone, remove the SD card (physically, open the back cover and remove it), and reinsert the SD card. Everything should work after that. I notice that this happens only the first time flashing.

Yeah the cm7 rom does it all in a stupid weird way that's why i ditched that rubbish and used a custom stock gingerbread rom, only thing i miss from it is the wiimote compatibility.

Actually, for me, that is the single most important feature of CM7. On stock firmware the internal SD-card was quickly becoming cramped with apps, and the 16GB microSD I bought especially for apps was staying empty(except for a few mp3's and camera storage).
For me, the ideal rom would be non-bloatware stock with CM7 sd mounting. Unfortunately no one could help me with mounting sd cards CM7-style on stock.

nah it's not stupid. default android use the sdcard as primary.
Code:
Vold.fstab:
* Vold.fstab is the file that will mount your sdcard(s) you can define in there where you want to mount the sdcard.
Like LG does /sdcard/_ExternalSD <- weird LG table
Like the most on xda do /sdcard/_InternalSD <- our modified weird LG table
or like CM does /emmc and /sdcard <- stock android

Still don't like it i prefer the stock method because that what iv got used too and the lg home force closes on cm.
Sinc i flashed it after i was on a stock based rom all my game data was in the wrong place so i just thought screw this.

Hi anybody managed to mount external NTFS HDD since ICS?
Just updated to ICS and root with CWM.
Have put in busy box and super user and usb mass storage watcher.
Tried a few apps from market for drive mounting..
Anybody know of something that works with ICS?
Or should i just go back to honeycomb 3.2?
