HI guys!
I want to flash cm7 to my new p990 but for some reason the SD card I used in my old phone wont mount. "Alright no problem, ill just use the INTERNAL sd card." Probably not the best idea.
Phone is rooted, installed rom manager and flashed CWM 5.0.2.0.
I tried to back up my stock image to the SD card but CWM wont mount the SD card, and I cant choose internal. I managed to do a nandroid back in CWM, but I had to choose where to put it in ROM MANAGER. All went well. Flashed CM to the phone. Now im on CM and got a hold of ROM MANAGER again and I want to flash the stock rom back.
The thing is, this time rom manager doesn't recognize my internal SD card either, and neither will CWM. Any way to flash the new CWM 5.0.2.3 through CWM?
CWM 5.0.2.3 supposedly fixes my issue but I have a feeling i cant do it that way.
Any help would be appreciated

You don't need anything fancy to install 5.0.2.3 (which I suppose you meant to write.) Just download the latest here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745 and choose which version you want to install, external or internal, which in your case seems to be internal.
That should put you right where you want to restore the backup from your internal card.
EDIT: Oh, and remember to turn the phone completely off instead of just rebooting, to get your sdcard mounted again (could be that's all you need to do.)
EDIT2: I've never used ROM Manager to backup, but if it gives you the opportunity to put backups somewhere else than the root of the card (your post seems to imply this), use a file manager to move the backup to the root of the card before rebooting into CWM.
Thats what I want to do. But I need a way of installing it. CWM cant flash over itself, cant it? And I cant get rom manager to do it either.
EDIT: LOL, im a RETARD!!
All the files I need to flash it through ADB are all there in the download...
Thx again man!!

You don't have access to a computer? You need a computer to install another version of CWM. (Well, there are other ways, but it's much easier from a PC.)

5.0.2.0 is compatible with 5.0.2.3 right?
After restoring it wont boot. Restoring again now.
Satser på det går bra
EDIT: sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore of /sd-ext.

You may have to convert your partitions back to ext3 before restoring with this CWM-installable script http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=720818&d=1316120010. (CWM 5.0.2.3 should in theory do it for you, but I've never gotten it to work.). Mount your sdcard from within CWM, copy it from PC to card, then install it.
No, the sd-ext message does not matter.
Does this format my entire phone with backups and all or does it just convert it?
Did my filesystem go over to ext4 when i installed CM7?

It formats the /system, /data and /cache partitions, but doesn't touch your sd-cards, so your backup is safe.
Yes, the latest versions of CM7 use ext4 for /system

It depends on what I'm doing. Right now I'm on MCR GR3. I frequently flash back to stock 2.2.2 to check if the app I'm currently making works as expected, and sometimes I flash CM7 to test some specific features there.
If you're asking what I'd recommend I'd say go with MCR GR3 when the prebake comes out, or Topogigi 1.8 which will be based on said prebake.
Hmmm. okay, thanks
I kinda like the stock rom but I would like the overclocking and possibly undervolting that aditional roms have. The battery time I had on cm7 was SICK. I fear I wont get that on the stock rom. Im having a try at topogigi v1.7, but I having some problems. Like, can I use ur baseband switcher app to change the baseband I have, and is it necessary? tried flashing it without flashing new baseband (cuz I dont know how ) and then it just bootlooped.
Ill check out MCR GR3

Slight misunderstanding here, it's not a baseband-switcher, for that you need to go through the whole smartflash-dance again. It allows you to install a different ril, that's all.

Topogigi 1.7 works fine without a new baseband, but not all phones can boot with the undervolt of the default kernel. (He has an optional kernel with stock voltages available which probably will fix the bootloop for you.)
Ill check out MCR GR3

The prebaked version isn't ready yet, but will likely be very soon. I expect Topogigi to release 1.8 not long after that.
have same issue. thanks for ideas.

Well, my o2x keeps rebooting, and stucking on boot.. i tryied flash v10b with nvflash and v20l with smartflash and its keep rebooting.. the phone doenst boot, i cant get into home screen.. anyone knows what can be? how i can fix it?
Thx
Have you come from a custom ROM before flashing v10b? If you have then you will probably have to use Paul obriens backtoext3 which is just flashed in cwm.
If its not then that's as far as my helpfulness can go...

i was on modaco, then i restore back the original backup with cwm.
after i tryied install v20l, phone doesnt boot, then i tryied v10b and phone doesnt boot..
now i cant install CWM since the android system doesnt up.. any other idea? maybe a backtoext3 without cwm?
You should still be able to get cwm even in a boot loop. Keep holding power and volume down until you get to it and then flash backtoext3.
Was it boot looping after you restored your original. If it was then you might only be able to nv flash an original rom.
If it wasn't then you should be able to get to recovery and flash backtoext3

Install CWM via NVFLash. Follow the first 3 steps of this guide to install it.

No. He said he smartflashed 20L, which means CWM has been overwritten with the stock recovery. All this will achieve is a wipe.

Yes, it does. I suggested you install CWM so you can restore a backup or flash a new one.
Both of the flashing procedures (NVFlash, Smartflash) should have restored your phone to a working state no matter what, so either your phone is faulty, or your USB-connection is flaky, lets hope its the last. (I assume you have read how, and most importantly, how not to connect USB when flashing.)
So run back2ext3, install a ROM and see if that works.

Primarily it was a hint to go search and read about how to flash before you flash. But since you ask:
Do not connect to USB via a hub, always connect directly to the computer. When something doesn't work, try a different cable. Do not use an overclocked computer to flash. etc. etc. etc.

Try to flash a rom or restore a backup via CWM. Doing the same thing over and over is not likely to help.
Download one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328656
Put it on your sdcard.
Install CWM via NVFLash. (If not already there.)
Start CWM.
Wipe/Factory reset.

Ive got a stock 2.2? froyo captivate and did the new [Guide] How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock by TRusselo and when i go into recovery i cant access external sd. I put the latest nightly and gapps on the root of sd card and for some reason I cant see it? I did a clean wipe and everything. Is there something wrong that I'm doing. I've mounted everything and still nothing.
Read the instructions again INTERNAL SD not EXTERNAL and you can access it, browse sdcard to /external_sd folder, it takes you to your external sd.
you mounted what? why? dont.
BUT YOU CANT FLASH FROM EXTERNAL SD!!!!
thats why the instructions say INTERAL SD
So instead of downloading through the browser.....I'd like to move the new nightly and gapps on internal memory with a pc transfer....where would i put it in? so that CWM can see it? Thxs man. I appreciate it. noober here. htc aria was a breeze to root and flash custom roms, I'm not use to this puppy.
ANYWHERE internal sd in the root, or any folder (except external_sd)
what browser are you using? the stock brower downloads to sdcard/downloads not sdcard/external_sd/*whatever*
if you downloaded with stock browser it should be there... not in root. unless you moved it after.
Thanks so much..... I found the files I needed but when I try to flash nightly it gives me this craziness....what's going on! Thxs for the help though.
edit: Did a factory one click by odin.
seems like an error with the zip file. try a nightly from a day or two before.
The build prop doesn't match the built asserts in the Zip, they have to match for it to flash... what ROM are you currently on?
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
that would make scene by the error. hmm he said he went to stock odin one click...
which odin one click?
Maybe he just did that...

So I did the one click to revert back to stock. Then I did a one click root and now have SU. 10 hours later and a freakin home made jig that I've made i'm still on 2.1 with root. Please for the love of God I'd like to install current nightly of cm7 and CWM. There are soooooo many ways I've read to install. Now from you pro's can you hook me up with some links or direction to get this going. I've literally killed my Saturday reading my a$$ off. Thanks guys for replying to my lame noobness.

Just clear ROM managers data and then flash the original Captivate CWM not MTD and the reboot into recovery... reinstall packages 2 times, and flash in CWM
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
Thanks for the fast reply. I bought ROM manager premium and will try it out. Install twice I guess to be on the safe side right? Thanks again. My wife hates my life right now being i've spent all day doing this. So i'm down to try anything on her cappy at this point.
Not "to be on the safe side"...the first time you choose reinstall packages in stock recovery it'll boot back into stock recovery, then reinstall packages again and it'll boot into cwm.
yeah thats a must do.
So i've cleared cache and selecting captivate recovery galaxy s 2.5.1.x booted into recovery ROM manger and did reinstall twice and got this.......I don't understand why i'm getting this.
Edit: I got it to work! I kept trying to go through the recovery from ROM manager after installing and it hung up a couple times. Then when selecting install packages with which I did it twice...it was in cwm 2.5.1.7. Installed nightly after full wipe a couple times and it boot looped. Then if I remember correctly I pulled battery booting into recovery, the 3 button way. it booted into Cwm 5.x.x.x. What the heck!!! That was a fun ride, why did it do this? Anyways, glad to join your guys community. you guys are awesome. Thanks buttons hit. changing first post and thread to.....solved.
When you flashed the nightly it contained a kernel with cwm 5 baked into it.
from what i have heard sometimes the cm install needs to be done twice.. too. i dunno dont mess with cm7
Sorry

Go in the Dev section (stickies) and get Odin KK4 without bootloaders. Flash it in download mode.
From there, Get Corn kernel, which you'll flash with Odin 1.85 and finally, you can get back to your ROM.

Hmmm well as far as my knowledge is concern no. Nwei why you still use xrecovery? Flashing latest rom with xrecovery will surely gives you an error use clockwordmod recovery instead. Maybe thats what causes your problem, Im not certain.

Backup your sdcard's data to your PC using a USB adapter then FORMAT it in FAT32 format finally DOWNLOAD again the rom.

After doing the 3 usual wipes in CWM recovery
Go to Mount and storage and see if there is anything mounted like cache or sd-ext (if yes, unmount it then try flashing the ROM)
If that doesn't work try a different ROM.
Additionally, reflash CWM5 and restore your old Nandroid Backup
Report back.

I followed the steps in Neo's thread about repartitioning and ended up in sh** where I can not see sdcard0 (internal memory) and phone says there is no micro sd card inserted even though it is.
I tried with terminal commands to fix storage permissions, but it doesn't allow me anything as it says files are read only.
I flashed the uninstaller as well which says it should help and did not help.
Any other ideas? :/

Thank you very much for answer, almost gave up on the phone pretty much.
Twrp is 2.8.xxx something (one supplied with Neo's rom), I tried with 3.0 did not help. Tried with Clockworkmod didnt help either.
I will search for AdrianDC TWRP and give it a go.
Cm13 I tried but did not want to apply the storage change because it could not find "system" partition, (almost bricked it I guess) but I managed to fix that with stock rom, and could later reflash cm 12.1
But I will try flashing CM13 again, and come back with info in case you will be able to give some input again!
Thanks for now!

No worries.
For the recovery, go here:

And CM13 here:

I'm using it on my T and it's pretty awesome

Cheers for links, Tried with CM13, no success like before getting error when flashing the zip:
"sdcard could not be mounted (ext4/exfat ?) please verify your partition file system
You are agreeing to format your SDCard
UserData partition still contains files"
so doesnt let me flash 13.
And to repair the partitions I guess I just try the TWRP and under advance the repair option right?
Terribly sorry to bother so much, but I like the phone, and would love to fix it again!

Try to flash twrp first. Then do a reboot and try again to flash cm13.
Please report back how it goes
Good luck

Done and done, but I basically ended up on the same spot where it said unable to mount /system + previous error about sdcard
and now can not flash anything anymore (so have to flash official rom again to start up my phone)
Maybe im doing something wrong with flashing, but i doubt it. (flashtool64 is which im using) fastboot, and under the option of select kernel to flash.
then rest is done in recovery anyway with installing, right?
At the moment I am installing official rom, so I can start over with flashing twrp, rebooting, then flashing cm13
One thing I learned to always backup working system before doing anything!

I'm sorry to hear that.
Once stock rom is on it, try to flash neos kernel and then boot into recovery. In there flash Adriandc's twrp (the zip file).
After that reboot and try to flash cm13. If this still doesn't work you could try Adriandc's files for repartitioning. He did some awesome work.
I'm on my phone right now so I'll keep it short, if you need further assistance I'll try to help you as soon as i get to my PC

Thanks!
Tried exactly like that, same error when trying to flash cm13 :"Updater process ended with ERROR:7
Error installing zip file ".zip"
I guess I ruined something really bad when trying to repartion following neo's guide, (twrp says about partitions this:
- Internal storage: (1812mb)
- Legacy SDCard (0mb)
- Micro SDCard (7488mb)
-USB OTG (0mb)
If you have any more suggestions I can try, otherwise we can give up! feels like nothing would work, though much love for taking your time trying to help me! <3

It doesn't look that bad at all. Which version of TWRP is currently on your phone? (also the build date)
It looks like basketbuild is down right now, but once it's back up again you could try this zip:
https://basketbuild.com/devs/AdrianDC/CyanogenMod/XperiaBlue
it will repartition your phone to it's original partition table

Oh that sounds exactly what I would need yea!
At the moment I reflashed cm12.1 (neo's) which installs 2.8.6.x twrp. Build date was january i think. (phone is booting up still)
I will try this zip as soon as basketbuild is up and will let you know what happens. (I guess i just reboot into twrp and flash the zip)?

Yeah, boot into TWRP, flash a new TWRP (I think it was 20th july or newer), then reboot straight into recovery again and flash the restore_sd zip
My phone booted up now with the 12.1, and there is internal memory back, 11gb out of 11gb free, accessable, and everything.. No idea what caused it to appear again but something what you said basically helped me and restored it back to original.
So thank you a lot! I kinda want to try and repartition it again to have more space for apps, but im afraid ill just blow it again.
You think I should try installing cm13 now as storage looks normal again?

I'm really glad you managed to restore it! Mint is still a great device.
Yeah, but CM13 will repartition your phone again (automatically). It will warn you once that all data will be lost, on second attempt it will flash just fine.
Good luck
