[Q] ClockworkMod Recovery - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is CWM safe to use with the HTC Dream? the CM Wiki recommends amon_ra over CWM because of "memory issues and file corruption," yet developers like ezTerry are putting their HTC Dream/Sapphire ROMs in ROM Manager.
Little confused here. xD
Thanks.

amon ra is better for g1... most of the ROMs here are flashed from the recovery... if you want mod your own rom i think amon ra would be better
just my own opinion though

I used it for a long time and bought the premium app. Never had an issue for me. I haven't updated my G1 in a while but I think it still has CWM on it.
I also use it on my magic without an issue.

The question here is has two parts:
1) clockwork recovery
2) rom manager
regarding Clockwork recovery:
To the best of my knowledge there was never a problem with clockwork recovery. In many respects for many users its actually a better choice.
Pros of clockwork include:
* more accurate factory reset (including data on sd-ext and sdcard)
* Ability to low level (erase_image) format any partition from the menus
* accurate wipe of dalvik cache
* ability to flash files from anywhere on the sdcard via menu interface
Pros of ra-recovery
* easier to find the *.img files on the net (but you can find the clockwork files)
* better support for ebi1 (ie. rogers) dreams (actually the "magic" version of clockwork will work on ebi1 dreams but this is a bit counter intuitive)
* ability on the dream to enter the console for more advanced configuration (of course both clockwork and ra allow access to adb shell)
* slightly better looking interface
They both work at the end of the day.
Now regarding Rom Manager:
actually I'm quite pleased at how this has improved.. as I've not seen it ask me to re-install clockwork in the recent versions
good:
* allows easy access to download included roms (you can cancel the install after download if you wish to manually install)
* easy access to fix_permissions for those "scared" of the command line
* OTA updates for custom roms for those being properly tracked in rom manager .. That is if the dev can correctly create the javascript required
bad: (regarding the DS platfrom)
* I'm not sure if the new radio sapphire has a good option in Rom Manager
* Lables of recovers a bit confusing:
-- Dream for the HTC dream aka G1
-- ION/Mytouch for the ebi0 sapphire phones (32b magics or the 32a Fender/MT2.1)
-- Magic for the ebi1 sapphire (32a classic magic, also works on the 32b EBI1 rogers dream)
* occasionally fails to flash (if you have great dificulty enable erase recovery option, also sometime the first attempt fails due to superuser delay requesting root, last if it fails simply try again.. CM5 and sometimes CM6 had memory issues that caused increased numbers of failures) .. historically Rom Manager also forgot Clockwork was installed requiring re-flashing after rom installation.. but I've not seen this lately.
And not good or bad:
* requires a rom manager compatible recovery
Overall if you are careful about installing clockwork with rom manager the system works quite well in its current form.. Note for users of the 2708+ radio the Cyanogen mod enteries dont have the radio update.. get my 2.6.34.8 kernel or pershoots latest (and cancel the install) before installing the CM6.1 rom so you can switch kernels.. you will of course need to reboot into recovery and flash the kernel after cm6 fails to boot.

Flashing/installing .zip

Hello, everyone!
How do I flash this .zip?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
HTc hero 2.1
Thanks
Do you have root access on your phone?
Word of advice: If you have superuser 2.1 or 2.2.2 or whatever already working well, I wouldn't install 2.3.1 until more people verify it works flawlessly or unless there is something specific about 2.3.1 that you need. 2.3.1 came out just a day or 2 ago, and many apps already had issues with 2.2.2... I personally still use 2.1. If you do choose to use 2.3.1, tell us how it goes.
I've been following that thread for a few days, and many people had issues getting 2.3 working, but it looks like the dev fixed the bugs and made 2.3.1 flashable.
In general, to flash any zip:
Copy zip to root of sdcard (i.e., sdcard main directory, not inside a folder)
Boot to recovery: turn phone off, hold home+power
Backup/Restore > nandroid + ext backup!! (just in case you don't like post-flash results)
Flash zip from sdcard, choose the zip you want to flash
Reboot
i did that it said installed fine but nothing showedup
You don't see superuser in your app drawer anymore? Or what?
You should see 'Superuser Permissions' in your app drawer. But the SU program doesn't actually 'show up' unless it's actively being called -- in other words, you'll basically only see it when another program requests superuser permissions....programs like setcpu, Autokiller, file explorers.

i see the su app but when i do this it only boot loops and stays looping forever unless i pull battery
what am i missing im using clockworkmod recovery
Are you using a custom ROM or kernel? Or do you still just have the stock 2.1 on your phone? If you're using an overclocked (OC) kernel or a ROM that is built with an OC kernel in it, this could be the reason for the bootloops. Some phones aren't capable of booting up at OC speeds.
stock 2.1 although rooted obciously

[Q] ROM Manager / Clock Work Recovery

hi,
I have read a cyanogenmod wiki page about clockwork recovery / ROM manager, and naturally I am very confused.
* Where does this install? (SBL/is it called from somewhere like GRUB?)
* What does this modify?
* How does one access this? I presume via Recovery Mode - Does one tell it to boot from an update.zip file that contains a programme to run; What does this programme do, and what does it modify?
* If I install ROM Manager / Clockwork Recovery, then if I decide to return the SGS to Samsung for warranty reasons, and I have not installed any other ROMS (e.g it is running stock), then will Samsung notice anything if they look, other than the update.zip file on the SD card.
* Can the installation and booting ClockWork Recovery damage *anything* on the SGS? (I mean only running it, and not installing any ROM images etc.
Best regards, me.
* Installing ClockworkMod Recovery
If you flashed a previous version of ClockworkMod Recovery using Odin, Flash back to a Stock Kernel using this Odin package: will add soon
Search for ROM Manager in the Market (free or paid) and install the app.
Open the ROM Manager application and choose the first option in the app, Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
Click on your device Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and then you may need to give the app root permission if it prompts you. If it does prompt for Superuser access, make sure Remember or Always is selected before you choose Allow.
If it hangs after that and freezes up, just allow the app to Force Close. Then open it back up and repeat steps 2 & 3.
Optional: Choose Backup Current ROM from the ROM Manager to create a backup.
On the very first boot of the ClockworkMod Recovery, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if the ClockworkMod Recovery does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
If the flash was successful a dialog box should pop up saying "Successfully flashed ClockworkMod recovery!". Press OK.

[ROM]Onyx R4.2 - Froyo - No TouchWiz - Team Whiskey - *11/18/10*

Onyx is simply a TouchWiz Free version of Obsidian. The changelog is listed there, in addition to those changes the following have been made.
Will make flashable nonwiping updates available until all the bugs are worked out and cleared. Once they are the newer and stable revision will be posted with complete skinning in two seperate versions. Please make requests for feature changes and things you would like removed.
4.2
- Added inharent support for Backlight Notification compatible kernels (BLN)
- Optimized Build Prop with ROM Identification Added
- Streamlined Frameworks
- Numerous Corrected Images
- Return of TouchWiz MMS w/ Blurry mms Fix
- Integrated WirelessADB
- Additional I/O scheduler, VM management, kernel scheduler, and minfree edits via sombionixInit script
- Integrated Flashing with Universal Lag Fix system. (Source by sztupy @ XDA, Ported by Krylon360 @ TeamWhiskey)
Team Whiskey Universal LagFix Kernel Features
- All lagfixes and tweaks activated directly within clockwork advanced menu
- MULTIPLE lagfix options, new and old
- Integrated TW logo
- 3e recovery built into kernel
- No longer required to disable lagfixes before flashing
- Enable/disable back light notifications
- Option to switch to 2e recovery
- Option to install Superuser
- Enable/disable I/O scheduler tweaks
- Enable/disable VM management tweaks
- Enable/disable kernel scheduler tweaks
- Enable/disable misc. tweaks
- Reboot into download mode
How To Utilize Universal LagFix Kernel:
1. Flash ROM as you normally would via clockwork recovery
2. Let device boot and then reboot back into clockwork recovery
3. Once in recovery, you will now see 2 new options at the bottom
4. Within the new menus, you will find options to enable/disable certain features and an assortment of lagfixes
5. Enabling/disabling features and tweaks are fairly self explanatory, so have fun with those.
6. Lagfixes are also fairly simple, however, if you are not extremely familiar with them, I suggest sticking to what you know such as the OCLF or voodoo options
7. Once you select the lagfix you want, you will see that your current configuration is updated. You must then go back and select reboot.
8. It will kick you back into clockwork very quickly and give you options before converting your partitions to your selected lagfix. I suggest you pick the first one which creates a backup and restore of your system.
9. Your device will now convert your partition, reboot your phone, and you're done!
Known Issues:
PLEASE READ PLEASE READ PLEASE READ PLEASE READ
- Currently, there is a VERY small percentage of users who have reported that their internal sd partition has been wiped. This is happening to roughly 1/20 people who flash 4.2 with the universal lag fix. If this happens, you will have to odin back to JFD and then upgrade back to 4.2 or any version of your choice. The kernel works very well, however, this is the first time this source and recovery modding has been ported to the Vibrant. None of my dev team has had this happen to any of us so we unfortunately cannot reproduce the problem and pinpoint the problem. We are thinking its hardware related at the moment. Please flash this at your own risk. If it does work for you, you'll love it, trust me! If you're one of the unfortunate ones that gets your internal wiped, well, I apologize, but you've been warned. I suggest ONLY experienced users download the rom with the ULF included. All others should download 4.2 w/stock kernel. THIS IS A KERNEL RELATED ISSUE, NOT ROM RELATED!
Update:
For those VERY VERY few unfortunate people who get their internal sdcard partition wiped, we have confirmation that using odin, going back to JFD, then back to Obsidian/Onyx 4.2 works fine. Everyone that has done this has had no further issues regarding the wipe issue.
3.1
-Even MORE framework edits
-tamed dragons
-now prints money
3.0
-Additional Framework Edits
-Beginning of a complete graphical overhaul
-Reskinned DialerTab Functions
2.2
-Fixes Mounting
2.1
-Corrected several improper strings
-Repaired twframework and framework
-removed power menu
R2.1 fixes a few issues, random dropping into airplane mode, crash when using the power button, repeat mms notifications, and more.
2.0
-TouchWiz Disabled and removed
-Standard LauncherPro installation w/ Fusion Skinning
-Reskinned to include Onyx button bar and status bar
All the other changes that were listed in R1 in beta were combined with Obsidian to make one big pile of awesome.
Reverting back to previous iteration, it was running clean and bugfree. Does not have the same stability previous Rev did. Took those peices and reintegrated into R2+
Removed some edits, much more stable now. I KNOW How you hate flashing updates, I promise I will try to make this the last major flashing update for a very long time. Its stable and perfect as far as I can see other than the known mounting issue. Enjoy!
Additional Option Flashes:
If you REALLY like the samsung apps I removed flash this - http://teamwhiskey.com/bin/onyx/FlashPa ... gExtra.zip
If you REALLY liked the WiFi calling and need it back, even if it slows your phone down, constantly, even in the background - http://teamwhiskey.com/bin/onyx/FlashPa ... alling.zip
OCLF/Voodoo Displaced, not removed.
To enable your new box of awesome, you will first need to reboot back into recovery. You will notice this is slightly different from your standard recovery. I will keep this as brief as I can and to the point. You can do any combination you want of lagfix, from simple bind to overkill mode and replace the entire FS to JFS + EXT2 Binds. This is totally at your discretion.
Personally, I enabled EVERYTHING and activated the most OVERKILL mode I could, because I like things over the top lol.
Its fast, wicked fast, its like fast took meth and kicked not so fast in the face in a single springboard motion to be faster.
Reboot to Recovery
Go to the Advanced menu below CWM
Set tweaks and options as you want to, I turned on Backlight Notifications and all the tweaks personally
After that, go to the LAGFIX section and shop for your weapon of choice, pick whichever you want. (Understand that converting data is a dragon in disguise, like a shoplifter in a cage inside an ATM that he COULD BREAK FREE from. Use at your own discretion.)
Reboot
Allow it to convert, could take a long time. Get a snack. Watch Hulu.
Once it boots, its done, reboot after about 15 or 20 for good measure and extra flavor.
Restore your data, dont restore EVERYTHING from Titanium Backup if youre coming from an Eclair build, single select restore your apps and their data. Otherwise Titanium Backup tries to make you some Froyeclair in a blender.
Backlight notifications are awesome, use them.
IF YOU ARE A BATTERY MONGER AND HATE IF YOUR BATTERY DOESNT LAST FOURTYSEVENTYTEEN Hours. Flash the stock kernel, otherwise you will get an average of 10-14 hours with this kernel.
Download:
Onyx 4.2 w/stock kernel
ULF Removed for Stability Issues in flashing
If you are one of the ones that had serious issues with ULF properly flashing we are very sorry that you are having those issues. We have pulled the ULF kernel due to its inconsistant flashing and are moving forwards with a few different concepts. If you are still having issues with this kernel and going back to normal please visit Sombionix or Viralblack in the TeamWhiskey IRC channel.
NEW internal/external mounting fix - after flashing, reboot phone and computer
Download Rom Extras:
Rom Extras
Thank you, this Rom rocks!!!!
Question: The USB debug mode enables itself everything the phone reboots. Is it supposed to be this way?
Thanks again for a awesome rom
Wait 10-14 hours of battery with this kernel? i know the features are awesome but that seems pretty bad. is that 10-14 hours with normal use or just chilling? cause moderate to heavy use and 12 hours doesnt seem so bad.
Awesome rom. Love it as usual.
I was one of the unfortune that got their SD wiped, but I made a bakup.
I flashed froyo via Odin, then reflashed Onyx v4. Works like awesome sause.
Not sure what caused this, Onyx or the overkill JS lagfix, but when I mount my internal/external sd card, the external shows up as a cdrom drive. The internal one is fine.
Can you please make a version with stock kernel
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
theres a version for stock on the TW website. It was there when i downloaded this at 803 am EST
whats up with this new stuff? i selected the very bottom option in the tweaks for the JS overkill? is this JFS thing the new hotness? i dunno which to pick. i want this thing to be as epicly cracked out as i can make it. can you doo voodoo WITH this new thing or is it one or the other?
right now im sitting at 1406 quadrant and all i did was select that option

W/ voodoo it's either one or the other.
JFS = Journaled File System or JFS is a 64-bit journaling filesystem created by IBM.
RFS = Remote file sharing - essentially this is what Samsung originally went with and it's slow.

Sent from the speed demon
Okay, I was running the Macnut ROM (Eugene's ROM) and, having tried Onyx from the first beta, I decided to go back. I installed from CWM with no issues (no Internal SD wipe, etc.), let it sit for a bit then went into recovery to do the ULF. I didn't know what to choose but, I ain't afraid o' no ****in' dragons so, I chose the bottom most option for the works. After letting it sit for about 15 mins again and a Titanium restore of my apps, this thing screams. After a fresh reboot, I got 1852 on Quadrant and there is absolutely no lag on this thing. NONE. The only slight beef I have with this rom is that I miss the completely black Swype keyboard.
Stock Kernel
I am aware of the stock kernel on the TW forum, but it says both the R4 zip and the Stock Kernel zip need to be flashed "at the SAME TIME"
How do I flash two *.zip files at the "same time"?
Thanks.
1. How do you use the WirelessADB??
2. What is Backlight Notifications?

[Recovery] ClockworkMod v2.5.1.8 / v3.0.0.5 (Updated 06.02.2011)

Hello all.
I've compiled the latest ClockworkMod recovery for the Tattoo. In addition to the normal features it has, this is using a custom smaller font, so the text fits better on a QVGA screen.
If you're already rooted, you can flash it with "flash_image recovery recovery.img" (after running "su" first) from a terminal shell prompt, or from adb shell.
v2.5.1.8 is the last version included in CyanogenMod 6 sources
v3.0.0.5 is the new recovery from CyanogenMod 7 sources

NForce2506.02.2011 - Repack of 3.0.0.5 with advanced backup and wipe all function. Wipe all will completely format and erase all partitions.​
Can you please tell me, in what way exactly is this Recovery better than Amon-RA?
They both do the same basic things. What I find better with ClockworkMod is:
Can turn off signature verification (faster to install roms, and can install unsigned zip files)
Can select zip files in subfolders
Individually select which NAND partition to restore
Can use joy button and back key to navigate
Smaller font (in this special version), so you get to see all text on screen on QVGA devices

Only available through ROM Manager as far as I know, unless someone compiled it and made it available over at the Wildfire forums.
ROM manager does not work with me although I´ve installed this recovery... It seems that the rom manager does not recognize it and it keeps asking me to download clockwork recovery again, and there is no Clockwork recovery for tattoo in that menu????
What seems to B the problem??
ClockworkMod recovery for the Tattoo isn't added to ROM Manager yet. Until now Tattoo owners had to use the Wildfire/Buzz recovery. I'll contact the author and ask if he can add this recovery for the Tattoo, so it's available from ROM Manager.

With clockworkmod recovery I cannot flash some roms which flashed fine with maverick recovery. The installation aborted with this error:
E:Board does not support mtd utils.E:Failure at line 420:
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:
The rom is actually flashed, and only boot.img not. So I can boot the rom after manually flash the boot.img.
Is there any way to include mtd utils future in this recovery, or must to return to maverick?
I think it's a bug in clockworkmod. They changed some detection routines in the latest versions, which seems to have broken flashing to mtd when rom is using update-script instead of updater-script. I've heard that 2.5.0.9 is the latest which it worked correctly with. I'll look into it at some point unless they release a new version which fixes it.
clockworkmod 2.5.1.4 seems to be already out!
arco68 please could you take a look here: https://github.com/klutsh/android_bootable_recovery
or here: https://github.com/klutsh/psfreedom-kernels-patch
could you add psFreedom support?
edit: please fix also the font size for the tattoo screen
I suppose it can be done, so I'll take a look. Thanks for the links.
Ran into some problems with the psfreedom recovery. Patching the kernel and compiling the recovery wasn't a problem, but mounting usb mass storage doesn't work. As far as I can see, there seems to be some bits missing in one of the files for the kernel patch for the Tattoo. I could have used the code from one of the other phones kernel patches, but unfortunately the kernel for the Tattoo is just too different from the other ones, that it can't be easily done. Dunno who the hell coded the board sources for the Tattoo, but I suspect he got fired or something, because sources for all other phones after the Tattoo are much more organized and similar to each other.

I think is very hard find what's missing to make it works.. can you do it?
I know you are workin' also on a wonderful rom, but also psfreedom is a nice project that need a skilled man
I see the kernel patches for the Tattoo is no longer there. When he adds a working patch I'll try again.

[S5830 + B/D/L/T ONLY] A Newbie Guide for your Galaxy Ace

Note: CyanogenMod 7 Official Support is HERE
Note 2: THIS THREAD IS FOR THE SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE S5830/S5830B/S5830D/S5830L/S5830T ONLY. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE S5830i/C/M
This serves as a warning and guide to all the new users in the Galaxy Ace XDA forums .
Samsung Kies is Samsung's version of iTunes . It allows you to sync all your stuff and back them up in case of phone problems .
But there's one thing Samsung forgot about: Memory optimisation . Kies requires at least 1.5GB of system memory . Even iTunes handles memory better than Kies.....
As a result , many users brick their Aces because they use Kies to update their phone and Kies suddenly stops responding because of RAM .
EDIT: I am not so sure now because some users have successfully updated their devices with Kies .
ROM Manager is a manager for Clockworkmod Recovery , which saves time because you don't have to reboot to recovery .
People, don't use ROM Manager for your own good......
You can also use CWM Manager , which is included in most custom ROMs .
Clockworkmod Recovery supports Galaxy Ace with many versions (with the official one being v4.0.0.9) .
The unofficial versions are v3.2.0.1 (if I'm not wrong) , v5.2.0.3 and v5.2.0.6 .
Edit: WITH CF-ROOT , BUSYBOX is BULLETPROOF
Another note about UNLOCKING YOUR PHONE by consegregate:
consegregate said:
Unlocking is an extremely risky process which touches your efs folder. Your IMEI can be wiped if you do a wrong step and that's the end of your road in the android conquest. Many of us have fallen to the enticing prospect of unlocking where the phone gets out of the box and poof goes back in again in no time.
SO, until we can backup the IMEI, try not to unlock using unorthodox methods. It may work for some, but for most of you you'll be left with ****ty phones because you can't read and follow instructions. So until then, please don't post "bricked mai phone help plz" because if it was because of unlocking, we may not be able to help you.
Lastly, USE THE SEARCH TOOL. AIN'T THERE FOR NOTHING! Cheers, all you sad faces.

1) root phone 2) have an escape plan when it fails.
Let's work on the escape plan.
Make sure you use Samsung KIES to update to the latest version of Android Gingerbread. Why? You could go to samfirmware to get a firmware and then download odin to flash it but why? You want to BAckup an ORIGINAL working rom.
Now you have Gingerbread. You want a backup. Search for chinoray and clockwordmodace.zip. This'll give you the backup program (a.k.a Clockworkmod Recovery) so you can do a recovery no matter what. (Press home and power to boot into recovery mode. there's an option to install from a zip. Install chinoray's file)
Now backup. Remember to put the backupfile that's made in 2 other places. Your sdcard isn't exactly a bank.
Now you want to root. Do the same recovery thing with a file from davebyone called Acegingerroot.zip. That roots it to an english brazil portuguese kp7 thingie. It's just fastest way to root. You'll have superuser app on now. congrats.
Now what to do with root? Your ace has very little memory. You need to extend the internal app storage to the sd card. The FIRST thing you need to do is go back to Clockworkmod recovery mode and partition your sdcard so that it has a ext4 extension. Then update from ketut.kumajaya's post with cf-rootdtapps2sd???.zip(forgot the full name). That defaults all downloaded apps to run from the sd card.
--Or you can ignore all this and do the chainfire post cf-root guide but ket's modifications are more hassle free.
so now you have a rooted Samsung ACE running Gingerbread running Touchwiz with apps running off the SD card.
There's not a good rom out for Samsung ACE anyways. You might as well stick to this for now.

Here's a little guide on how to flash a ROM via ODIN by me:
Requirements:
- A Windows computer
- A Galaxy Ace plugged into the computer via USB
- You must have ODIN installed , duh !
- (Windows Vista/7 compulsory) Running ODIN with Administrative rights:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Ended KIES via Task manager:
Instructions:
1 - Download your favourite firmware here
2 - Extract the .rar out using WinRAR or 7zip (password is samfirmware.com)
3 - Check if it's a FULL package or ONE package:
FULL Package instructions:
1 - Open up ODIN (MAKE SURE ALL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET)
2 - Set your phone in Download Mode (Home + Power + Volume Down)
3 - Once you have correctly entered Download Mode and plugged in , this should appear in ODIN:
4 - Place the files in this order:
OPS - Select the file named Cooper_v1.0.ops (or anything like that)
BOOT - Select the file named "APBOOT_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5"
where "xxxxx" = Your firmware version
Phone - Select the file named "CODE_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5"
where xxxxx = firmware version
PDA - DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING
CSC - Select the file named "GT-S5830-MULTI-CSC-xxxxxx.tar.md5"
where "xxxxxx" = the CSC region
EFS - Select the file named "MODEM_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03.tar.md5"
xxxxx = firmware version (Be VERY VERY careful with this EFS part)
After you're done , click on "Start" and let the magic reveal itself slowly......
ONE Package method:
1 - Open up ODIN
2 - Set your phone in Download Mode while plugged into USB
3 - Tick the option "One Package" in ODIN (Refer to previous ODIN picture)
4 - Select the only .tar.md5 file
Now press start and watch the magic.....
Nice info
Could you add this:
Do not install busybox on custom ROMs because busybox already exist on most custom ROMs, and also stock firmware with CF-Root. If you're already do so, it mean that you're ready to reflash your phone ...or try to remove all files named "busybox" with root explorer then flash CF-Root b79 (then flash b80 for KPN users)
Ya you are right when I am new for galaxy ace I Install rom manager and while taking backup through it my phone suddently off and not start not even in downloading mode. Means it breaked. But thanks god it repaired by samsung service senter. So not install that app.

Q0: What is root? What advantages can it do to my phone?
A0: "Rooting" your phone is the process of allowing Superuser access to your phone (a.k.a su or sudo access) , thus opening up system files to the user .
This is usually needed/done by custom ROMs .
More info can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooting_(Android_OS)
"Rooting is a process that allows users of mobile phones and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's Linux subsystem with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and manufacturers put on some devices. It is analogous to jailbreaking on devices running the Apple iOS operating system."
Q1: What is a custom ROM? What to can it do to my phone?
A1: A custom ROM can be either:
- Modifications to the official company ROMs (a.k.a Stock ROMs) , which increases its speed and stability compared to original Stock ROMs .
These ROMs include:
-Blackhawk (by ketut.kumajaya)
-Fla.sh (by fla.sh) (No Support Available anymore , therefore no link)
-Sangingerace and Persian Gulf (by sasanekabaran)
-The BehradGH ROM series (by BehradGH):
-BehradGH ROM Series KPB
-BehradGH ROM Series KPN/KPH
-BehradGH ROM Series KP9
-NoName (by an0nym0us_)
-My-UI (by jusada)
-GingerReal (by redmaner and MuayThaiFighter08 (I think , sorry if I got it wrong !) )
-FirstUA (by Grif_07)
-Glsmt (by sametpoyraz)
-TheMyth (by devilsking) (Thread Closed)
-Blockbuster ROM Goes Ace
-Mush69ROM (Thread Closed)
-TurboBlue (by tazlooney89)
There are other ROMs that do not use Stock ROMs and are built from scratch by these AWESOME people:
-AOSP 2.3.7 (A work-in-progress by me , fla.sh , Jekle_Ace and consegregate)
-Grif_07's CM7.1 BETA-Kang 2.3.5
-BehradGH CyanoAce CM7.1 RC1 2.3.5
-Infinity ROM (Based on CM7.2 by nims11)
-Infinity ROM (Based on CM7.1 by nims11)
-Gingercruzt (Based on CM7.2 by nims11)
-Touchwiz4 Style CM7.2 ROM (by slaid480)
-HaniMod*LiteStar (By sasanekabaran)
-Icecream Sunday & Speed Blur (by jusada)
-Cre.ActiveX (CM7.1 by saigetshu)
That is all you actually need to know
Q2: What's Recovery Mode? What is Download Mode? What are the different "Modes" that my phone can go into?
A2: Recovery Mode is a place where you go to if your phone is ever "stuck" or in a "bootloop" if you installed a ROM wrongly .
The stock recovery mode can't do much and therefore if you want better advantages such as:
-Backing up your current ROM and data
-Fixing Force Close Permissions
-Wiping your Dalvik-Cache
-Wiping Battery Stats (if your battery meter is jumpy , like all custom Stock ROMs)
-Install unsigned .zip files
-Formatting various parts of your internal memory (/system , /data etc)
-Mount USB Storage in Recovery Mode
The only thing you can do is use CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY
For Download Mode , it is a Samsung-exclusive feature that allows you to "Download" custom stock ROM files into your phone .
It works like a normal install in ClockWorkMod Recovery (a.k.a CWM) , except that it automates everything (wiping data , wiping system stuff)
These are possible modes which you can use to enter different places (for advanced people only):
Home + Power = Recovery Mode (whether stock or CWM)
Home + Volume Down + Power = Download Mode (normal)
Home + Volume Up + Power = ARMv9 Dump Mode
Home + Volume Down + Volume Up + Power = Download Mode (EMERGENCY)
Q2.5: What is ClockworkMod Recovery? How do I use it?
A2.5: ClockworkMod Recovery is one of the best custom recoveries out there and was made by the AWESOME koush
Here's how you use it by devilcode:
devilcode said:
There you go.... not from v4.0.0.9 but its of a old version but will give you and idea or to anyone else .. will not post a link to some other site so just posting the explaination here
Options explained
1. reboot system now
This one is self-explanatory.
Reboots the phone.
2. apply update from sdcard
This can be used for installation of any official or unofficial update, ROM, kernel, theme etc. that is in a zip format installable from recovery, as long as the file is named update.zip and it has been placed on the root of your SD card (i.e. not in any sub-folder). Selecting this option (and most of the options featured below) will bring up a rather annoying confirmation prompt but this has saved us on multiple occasions from a lot of trouble we would have been into due to accidental key presses.
3. wipe data/factory reset
This option wipes all user data on the device as well as cache. Doing this will leave your phone in the state it was in when you bought it or when any custom ROM was first installed. It will also wipe any sd-ext partition that you might have set up.
4. wipe cache partition
Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use. This is often used before installing a new ROM, app, kernel or any similar mod via recovery.
5. install zip from sdcard
This option brings up the following sub-menu:
A. apply /sdcard/update.zip
This one is essentially the same as the ‘apply update from sdcard’ option of the main menu.
B. choose zip from sdcard
Lets you install any zip file (with any name) from any location on your SD card. The file can be for a ROM, a kernel, an application, a theme or any mod as long as it is in recovery-flashable zip format. This is the most widely used option for installing a ROM that you have downloaded and copied to your SD card. Entering this option will bring up a screen that will allow you to browse your SD card for the zip file and select it for installation
C. toggle signature verification
Turns the signature verification on and off. When signature verification is on, you will not be able to install any custom ROMs that haven’t been signed by the developers (most custom ROMs aren’t signed). Switching it off skips the signature verification check and proceeds with the installation.
D. toggle script asserts
Seldom-used option for a vast majority of users. It simply turns script asserts on or off. If you don’t know about these (i don’t), it’s best not to change this option. (For advanced users ONLY)
E. +++++Go Back+++++
Takes you back to the main recovery menu, obviously!
6. backup and restore
Undoubtedly one of the most important features provided by a custom recovery, the backup and restore feature – also known as Nandroid backup – allows you to take a backup of your phone’s entire internal memory including all partitions, and save it on the SD card.
A. Backup
Takes a Nandroid backup, as explained above.
B. Restore
Lets you restore a previously taken backup. Entering this option presents you with a list of existing backups from the SD card that you can choose from for restoration.
C. Advanced Restore
This option is similar to the Restore option but once a backup has been selected to be restored, this option allows you to choose what parts of it to restore. You can choose to restore the boot, system, data, cache and sd-ext partitions.
7. mounts and storage
Allows you to perform maintenance tasks on all the internal and external partitions of your android device.
A. mount/unmount /system, /data, /cache, /sdcard or /sd-ext
These options let you toggle between mounting or unmounting these respective partitions. Most Galaxy Ace users need to mount /system and /data for ROM installations
B. format boot, system, data, cache, sdcard or sd-ext
These let you directly format any of these partitions. Take extreme care with this option as formatting any of these partitions will result in losing all data on them, especially the boot and system partitions. Formatting the system partition will remove your ROM and leave your phone without an operating system while wiping the boot partition may brick your phone unless you restore or flash another one before rebooting your device.
What's lucky is that Galaxy Ace users don't have the option to format the boot partitions.
C. mount USB storage
Lets you enable USB mass storage mode for your SD card right from recovery so that you can connect it to your computer via USB and transfer any files to/from it without having to leave recovery.
8. advanced
This section contains a few options most users will not require, though these can come handy quite often, especially wiping Dalvik cache, which is required before most ROM installations. Here are the options from this section:
A. Reboot Recovery
Lets you directly and very conveniently reboot from recovery right back into recovery. This is a useful option for certain back-to-back installations that require the device to at least boot once between them OR installing another version of CWM (like v5.2.0.6).
B. Wipe Dalvik Cache
Allows you to wipe the cache for the Dalvik virtual machine (the custom-built Java virtual machine for Android).This is required before most ROM installations and at other occasions too, for fixing some problems.
C. Wipe Battery Stats
Wipes the saved battery usage statistics and effectively recalibrates the battery. Useful in various scenarios when Android isn’t showing correct battery levels.
*This style of wiping battery stats is no longer useful*
D. Report Error
In case of errors, this feature can be used to save a log of recent ClockworkMod recovery operations on the SD card that you can later report from Android using ROM Manager.
E. Key Test
Lets you press any of the hardware keys to see if they are properly functioning, and to see their key codes.
F. Partition SD Card
This option gives you a no-frills way to partition your SD card properly for use with ROMs that supports a2sd (a hack that moves entire applications to the SDcard). Once this option is selected, you will be given options to choose the sizes for the /sd-ext partition as well as an optional /swap partition on the SD card, and will then automatically format it for you, leaving the remaining space for normal SD card usage. This option will wipe all data from your SD card so use it with caution!
G. Fix Permissions
Fixes the file permissions for the internal memory partitions back to default. This is very useful as a fix for several errors and Force-Closes that start appearing after you or an application you installed and provided root access end up messing up the permissions of important files.
Hope it helps :d

Q3: Help me, my phone is in a bootloop and won't go into the Launcher!
A3: Firstly , define your bootloop:
If you are stuck at the "Galaxy Ace" logo , that means you did not make a factory reset and cache wipe from Recovery Mode . Do that , then reflash and try again .
If it still does not work , your kernel might have a problem because you did not install your kernel properly .
For that I recommend CF-ROOT for Gingerbread and Froyo
However , if your phone is stuck at the bootanimation:
Stuck for more than 10mins and is repeating the animation: You did not flash your ROM properly . Refer to above .
Stuck for less than 10mins and is NOT repeating: I suggest you have some patience
Q4: AHHHHHHHH! I flashed a theme but now my phone is going into force closes and bootloops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A4: You probably flashed a theme that was meant for another firmware version (E.g. flashing a KPH theme into KPO) .
In that case , all you have to do is flash another theme which is for that particular firmware and you're saved
Everytime I flash a theme I will make a backup prior to installing . This ensures that I can restore back if I did something wrong
Q5: Is there any overclock for the Galaxy Ace?
A5: With CF-ROOT 3.7 b83 I can achieve 100% stability with 902Mhz but 10% decrease in battery life :/
Q6: What about Adobe Flash support?
A6: It is only PARTIALLY supported on CyanogenMod 7 , but may work on stock Samsung ROMs if on Cf-root .
It works on the stock browser and Dolphin Browser HD , but does not work on Opera .
Q7: What is Cyanogenmod? Why do so much people love it?
A7: Cyanogenmod is a ROM built from a modified generic AOSP build , which offers faster speed , better stability and even eliminates some problems induced by stock ROMs (i.e. In our case , the Sleep of Death a.k.a SoD) .
This ROM was made by none other than the legendary Cyanogen .
This makes the phone fast , stable and yet problem-free .
however , CM7 for the Ace is currently unofficial and in early release candidate and beta versions and is NOT recommended for newbies as they might encounter into problems they might not know how to solve .
Also , the things that were added by Samsung WILL NOT APPEAR in Cyamogenmod 7 .
If you rely on Samsung's additions too much , I suggest that you revert back to stock
Q8: Oh no! My phone is bricked! I accidentally flashed the wrong device in ROM Manager!
A8: Oh no . You might wanna try either:
Method 1:
-Remove the SIM card , SD card and battery from the phone
-Hold Volume Down + Home + Power
-(Optional) Bring it near a heat source .
-While still holding those buttons , place the battery into the phone
-It should go into Download Mode .
-Try to flash a full package file via ODIN and your phone should come back to life .
If that doesn't work , try Method 2:
-Bring the phone to a nearby service center for repair .
Q9: Hello, what's the difference between a full package ROM and a one package ROM?
A9: When you download a ROM from SamMobile , they have all the files in a .rar , the contents of the .rar determine its Package:
A Full Package ROM has quite a few files when the .rar is opened , one of them being a .tar.md5 if I remember correctly .
A One Package ROM only has one .tar file when the .rar archive is opened .

I figured I would post this fix here in case anyone else ran into this problem. This is assuming you did not change the folder names and let Clockworkmod create them. I haven't had it happen until today, but it's not a nice message to see when you are trying to do a restore.
Code:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
To fix this problem use the code below. Substitute the final folder name for the backup you need to fix.
Code:
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[I]backupname[/I]
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
When that finishes, re-run the restore and everything should be fine.
NOTE: As rpearl stated, there could be something really wrong with your nandroid, so use this tutorial as a learning experience and not a fix-all. In my case, everything was fine after restoring. However, that may not always be the case. Do this with caution.

A11: Just flash back to DXKC1 (Froyo 2.2.1) or the Gingerbread version for your region , you're bound to fool Samsung
Q12: I have been hearing everyone talk about this file named build.prop. What is that?
A12: Okay, build.prop is the build properties of your current ROM.
I will give more explanation of the different entries as time goes on (LOL).
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse - (0/1) Variable Values.
0: Allows the network power collapse, thus wasting battery
1: Disables the network power collapse, thus saving battery.
ro.ril.hsxpa - (0/1/2/3)Variable values.
0: Disables HSUPA completely.
1: Disables stock HSUPA speeds (speeds capped)
2: Enables stock HSUPA speeds (speeds capped)
3: Enables uncapped HSUPA speeds
Q13: What is CF-ROOT? Is it edible?
A13: LOL no it isn't! CF-ROOT is short for Chainfire-Root (a.k.a Rooting + some tweaks). It has root and installs 3 apps: CWM Manager, Superuser and Tweaks.
CWM Manager is a substitute for ROM Manager and allows:
- Rebooting to recovery
- Backing up using app
- Restore using app
- Deleting backups
- Flashing .zip files
- Flashing zImage kernels (a.k.a CF-ROOT fixes)
The current version is b84, which is only for XWKT5/7 firmwares.
You can use b83, which is the universal CF-ROOT.
Q14: I keep running out of internal memory. Why does this happen? How do I solve it then?
A14: It is because the Galaxy Ace's internal memory is only less than 200MB, therefore too many apps will cause the phone to run out of memory. There are 3 known solutions to that:
1: DarkTremor's Apps2SD (DTA2SD)
- Most commonly used way of moving apps to internal memory
- Has an app for it at the Android Market (A2SDGUI)
- Uses a flashable zip (find it in XDA)
- Easiest to use among the 3
2: link2SD
- Makes use of symbolic links to move apps to the SD-ext partition
- I don't know much about this one
3: S2E (simple2ext)
- An app that's available in the Android Market
- Only for CM7 ROMs and the only one working for Ice Cream Sandwich (by maclaw)
- Hardest to use among the 3
That is all.
Q?: This thread seems inactive! When will you update it?
A?: I will update my thread whenever I want to , once I find new information .
Thank you for reading this thread so that one less Galaxy Ace gets bricked
For me, this should be a sticky post on development.. Maybe you need to request this as sticky post from any MOD and update all about Ace there..

sorry for my english
EmoBoiix3 said:
This serves as a warning to all the new users in the XDA forums .
ROM Manager is a manager for Clockworkmod Recovery , which saves time because you don't have to reboot to recovery .
However , it doesn't support Galaxy Ace yet .
You can probably use CWM Manager instead , which is included in most custom ROMs .
Clockworkmod Recovery , on the other hand , supports Galaxy Ace with many versions (with the official one being v4.0.0.9) .
REMEMBER THIS , DO NOT INSTALL/DOWNLOAD ANYTHING WITH ROM MANAGER . Use Clockworkmod Recovery for Backups , Restoring , Flashing .zip or whatever the Recovery can do .
IF YOU TRY TO INSTALL ANYTHING USING ROM MANAGER YOU MIGHT NEED TO BRING YOUR PHONE AND WARRANTY CARD TO THE NEAREST SERVICE CENTER .
