[TOOL] 11/Nov r2: BackToEXT3 - for converting your device, er, back to EXT3

If you have been using a EXT4 ROM and you want to restore a stock ROM that only has EXT3 support, it's a bit of a faff. Introducing BackToEXT3.
This ClockworkMod update zip simply converts your /system, /data and cache partitions back to EXT3. It wipes them both in the process, so you need to have an existing backup / ROM to restore to.

After installing FR12 custom ROM Vanilla Edition on my phone, I wanted to get back to stock so I installed - back to ext3 zip. Then when I tried to restore the stoc ROM, I got the error MD5 mismatch!
I want to specify that I tried a custom ROM before but with ext3, and I had no problem to return to the stock ROM.

Tool worked fine for me. fr10 back to stock.
Md5 error probably means ur nandroidbackup is damaged

Thanks MaBlo, I usually search everything on Google, but this time I forgot, lol.

Sorry guys, please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm trying to get it back to stock.
1. Copy img to ext SD card
2. Reboot into recovery e.g. CWM
3. update BackTOEXT3 image with CWM
4. run nandroid to restore stock image
Am I right? I keep getting stuck at the LG screen

What "img" are you talking about? Nandroid restore is for restoring a previous backup, not for flashing a rom image.
If you want to flash a stock rom image, you need to use smartflash or nvflash, unless you want to flash the 0622 one, which someone made available in CWM format. (Not completely stock though, as it is prerooted etc.)

ok solved, if anyone could delete this post

please tell me is there any flashable which can convert to ext4?
It will be useful to convert from ext3 to ext4 before restoring a nandroid backup which was taken earlier from EXT4.

You don't need that. CWM automatically converts from ext3 to ext4 (if the backup is ext4), but not the other way round.

Can't flash a ROM, or restoring a Nandroid

Hello,
I can't flash any ROM. I have the ClockWorkMod recovery. When Flashing a ROM, for example Cyanogenmod, it flashes it in 10 secons, and when I reboot it gets stuck on the lg splash. When trying to restore my anandroid backup witch I made with the same CWM 4.0.0.5, I get an error: Can't mount /system!
What can i do? Do I need making partitions? Are there HBOOTS in lg optimus 2x?
Thanks

update cmw version to 5... that should fix your problem

Flash ext4 converter from the recovery, and then flash the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037751
And I am assuming the backup you are trying to restore is from a stock rom, then flash backtoext3 from recovery and then restore.

Yup, the stock rom is ext3 while cm7 is ext4. Its just two different filesystems.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium

So, the steps I have to follow are:
1. Flash ext4 converter
2. Flash a new ROM
3. Flash CWM 5.x.x.x with Rom Manager
And, whenever I want to restore my backup, I need to flash before the backtoext3 patch.
Is that right? Sorry for being so stupid!

You need to first wipe data, cache & go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
You need to flash backtoext3 only if the backup you are trying restore is from a stock rom or a rom which is using ext3 filesystem.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium

Ok, so finally I have successfully restored my backup. I flashed the ext3 patch and done. Now I have installed CWM 5.0.1.6 Is this recovery ok?
Now, before doing anything, I want to know what steps do I have to follow to install a ROM.
Even having this new recovery, do I have to flash the 4ext flasheable to install roms like Cyanogen, Thanatos, Miui...?
Thanks!

I am having v5.0.2.0, Check the rom manager if there is an update if not than that recovery should be fine.
To install a rom you need to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. After that just flash the rom.
You don't need to flash ext4 zip, because ext4 based roms will automatically convert the system to ext4.

I think this thread should help you. An all in on place.
- Make sure that you read and understand complete instruction on the particular ROM developer's thread. Pay attention to the possible problems and solutions.
- Nandroid backup. Backup other user data and applications
- Make sure that you wipe/format the /system partition before flashing a ROM. I was not doing this untill recently. Ever since I started formatting /system partion, not getting SODs and BSODs like before
- The CWM you are using now is bit outdated. Look for the latest version - I think it is cwm-5.0.2.7-R2. Check out this link.

[Q]Some problems about ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0

Hello , recently I tried flash my kernel , when I did it my phone didnt recognize my sim card
Later , when i tried come back my recovery said:
E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Cant open /cache/recovery/log
E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Cant open /cache/recovery/last_log
... I tried format sd card but it nothing happened. What i can do?:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
PD: I have lg optimus 2x , vodafone , Spain
Pd: I read my sd card is corrupted but when i introduce my sd card in my pc it read it .(I FORMAT MY SD CARD IN MY PC )

It will be good to read [RECOVERY] CWM-based Recovery 5.0.2.8 for Internal & External SD Cards, if you already haven`t, and ask there if you have not find your answer by reading first.
Then, it will be nice to provide some more info, to get better answer.
What rom/kernel? Can you boot into your android? Or just in logo screen? Can you flash other things with cwm? Cwm backups on internal or external sd?
As you haven`t provide much info, I will write some general things.
First, try wiping cache in cwm and see if it works now.
If not, try to perform other mount/unmount/format in cwm. You should also try to install latest cwm from the link above (espesially if you have instaled current cwm with Rom Manager).
If none of this work, you will must try with nvflash/smartflash.
See this ROM] NVFlash Opti-3D v-1.4.4 V20s Stock GB Clean CWM | UNBRICK
This if you can`t boot. If you can boot, it is possible that it was a bad backup. Just flash another rom.
P.S. I have this kind of errors often (due to lot of flashing), wiping cache, and rarely data, have solved problems almost always. Or formatting my sd and putting backup folder back on it. However, few times it was a soft brick and nvflash was needed.
Hope it helps.

Thank you very much, i use NVFlash ,i could repared my phone
Well i want chance my kernel , how i install another kernel? Do i need only install .Zip with recovery? What kernel is the best if i want OC?

Dear Dasavi
best kernel depends on how you want your phone to perform.
My recommendation is that you purchase the PRO edition of CWM and try out different combinations of ROMS and kernels, both GB and ICS based. With the PRO version, flashing new ROMS and kernels is a real breeze. With GetRIL you can make sure your radios perform optimal.
In the process, make sure you read what our talented developers have written about their ROMs and how to make them perform best.
I use the NOVA HD 1.1.0 with the NOVA kernel 3.0.36 pure edition. They work together like magic.
I also use Wajks WIUI 2.5.25. It is android 2.3.7 (GB). Very nice design, with working video recorder.
Baseline is: Read, read, read, try, try and then ask.
Modding is fun!!

Hi,

I then tried installing Nova HD 1.1.0 and just get stuck on the LG logo splashscreen.
I'm really confused and installation reports successful.
Please can somebody help?

Hi, none of those ROMS booted. However, I did find a 'G2X' ROM running Android 2.3.3 that could be installed using 'NVflash'. This does work.
I really do want an ICS ROM on there though.
Yes, I install CWM using 'Superoneclick' and then factory reset/wipe the device before trying to install the custom rom and gapps zip via the SD card.
Is it worth trying CWM 5.0.2.7 or 5.0.2.8? Please can you provide instructions on how to do this as superoneclick just puts the cwm it has built in (I think).
Sorry, i've not done this sort of thing many times so am quite new to it all.

Hey dude, this happened with me before and I solved it by converting the file system back to ext3 as some roms are converting file system to ext4 , try both converters to ext 4 and to ext3 (I recommend back to ext3) those are the links

[mod][stock ics] Rooted v28g system.img

Since some people asked me, I'm providing rooted system.img to be flashed by nvflash, an easy way to get v28g installed from kdz or smartflash rooted, for those who prefer to keep it as stockish as possible. The only mods I did from stock kdz backed up from my phone was to push su and superuser.apk.
This procedure did not wipe anything, so as a rule you shouldn't worry about backups, but I recommend you to use nvflash tool to make backups of all your partitions before trying this. Search here on dev's section to "nvflash toolkit", an excellent work from rmein, and use it to make backups.
Put the .img extracted from downloaded 7zip file on any functional nvflash folder, connect your phone in apx mode (without battery, BOTH vol up and down and plug it to usb), go to your nvflash folder and execute the following in cmd prompt.
nvflash.exe --bl fastboot.bin --download 23 rooted_system_v28g.img
Actually, I don't know if this command works on windows. Since I'm linux user (I'm sure that command syntax is useless to penguin's users), I didn't test this on win. So, if you used nvflash before on your win box and the previous didn't work, please let me know.
Download: http://db.tt/Qe6iLjpl
It's my personal dropbox folder. Please, feel free to mirror it and I'll update this OP, since I use my dropbox space to work.
Edit: leclanpim made an easy way to flash this system.img, putting a .bat file with nvflash.exe and the system itself in one zipped file, sharing it at https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bw9sO0__Wuu-THkzcHpaeERmMHM
Thanks to him.

The easiest way to get root, imho, is to flash bootloader, cwm, and then root zip from cwm. All files are small and no data loose at all.

Thank you louis, that's what I was looking for last weeks, then I found Homero's rooted 28G with some adds/mods. Now I'm downloading your system.img which is pure leaked 28G with the root as the only mod.
I'll tell you more.
Since some days I decided that from now on I'll test only custom 28G roms distributed in nvflash format: I nvflash the custom system.img, don't wipe my data, don't change bootloader, get rid of cwm and rom manager. It looks like the cwm round but I think it's faster and cleaner (maybe less risks of brick?), in addition, since I was used to copy my cwm backups on PC, using nvflash backup I have the full image of my rom straight on PC and I don't fill my external SD with neverending backups. Of course, using nvflash backups you cannot open and look inside like it is with cwm backups, but maybe some dev will find the way to do it.
I understand that SuperSkill, too, thought the same solution.
EDIT: just flashed from win7 and all is working.

Thanks, Man!...:good:

After trying V28E and G (Stefan's release with wkpark's unlocked bootloader and custom CWM) with different babsebands, I also decided to flash a "clean" stock V28G with the original bootloader, just to see if it resolves an in-call audio bug for me. So, this image came in handy, thank you! I backed up and restored my data partition using the nvflash toolkit. No problems with flashing, everything came up fine, with all my data intact. Hopefully, this setup will work with no audio issues until the ICS release (or a new leak... )

Thanks for this, now what's left are flashing it yes Walsh, I think this is a great way of supplying "roms". This method let's you keep locked bootloader and you can increase system partition, then flash only system.img with nvflash, correct? I'm just about to get Ubuntu into my desktop to extract the img and modify it as I like it......but what you guys have done lately are very respectful

First of all, this is NOT a ROM! This is the rooted system partition image for the clean leaked ICS Stock, which has a different partition layout from CM10. So, unless you already installed a stock V28E or V28G ROM and repartitioned your phone, it will not work for you.
Second, I would recommend always launching batch files from a command window instead of double-clicking them -- this way, you can always see all messages...

Actually, you can! I have no idea how to do this on win box, but on linux it's very simple (that's how I pushed root on this img).
All you have to do is mounting it with loop in an empty folder, than you can not only look into the system dir but also modify it, and when you unmount it, your img will be updated (maybe even before, don't know).
Supposing you have the system.img in the folder were you're, just run as root:
mkdir modsystem
mount -o loop system.img ./modsystem
Than you can go into modsystem with any file manager, and you'll see that this folder is the system folder. There you can modify what you would to, and after that (be careful with permissions, they will be there after flashing), just run:
umount modsystem
Than you can flash it by nvflash and see the magic happening! And welcome to the free penguin world.

I'll tell the way I prefer, because in this way you flash Rom and baseband art the same time without losing any data.
-Download the v28g kdz image here. MD5SUM: a7d0e9763e4029484358f46936fe0099
-After downloading the kdz, flash it using instructions found here AND here. Note that on the instruction to edit the "C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host", its actually "hosts", with an S at the end. Also use the www,zip attached for the instructions on the post (not the shttp3.zip).
-following these instructions, you should be able to flash the kdz without losing any data, even with the baseband flashed.
-after that, start your phone as usual, then follow the instruction on the first post to get your newly stock v28g rooted.
If you can't find the related topics, just be patient and I'll update here with the links after I get time on my pc.

-Search here in dev's for the Stephan's p990 leaker
-There, search for the v28g kdz image. I didn't test it, but I'd read that the link from lg is not working, so search for a mirror
-after downloading the kdz, flash it using instructions found on general section. It's not to much easy, but you can do it, just be patient.

As a possible alternative to the described method, I can suggest using a KDZ Converter for P970. It will extract two files from a KDZ (the ROM itself and the baseband), which you can then flash with SmartFlash. Contrary to what you may read, this tool DOES work for P990, as long as you don't select patching option for CWM (just answer "n"). This process is easier than flashing a KDZ, but some people prefer direct KDZ flashing (I am not aware of any differences in the end result, so, being lazy, I just do it the easier way ).

Decided to go this way as well to see if it prevents the loss of sound in calls. The cmd command did however not work for me, got stuck on 'nvflash started'. Very strange, first time I encountered something like that.
Anyway, thanks to leclanpim for the repack! And thank u for providing the image :thumbup:
Will now restore my Titanium backups and get back to business.

Put the .img extracted from downloaded 7zip file on any functional nvflash folder, connect your phone in apx mode (without battery, BOTH vol up and down and plug it to usb), go to your nvflash folder and execute the following in cmd prompt.
nvflash.exe --bl fastboot.bin --download 23 rooted_system_v28g.img
Actually, I don't know if this command works on windows. Since I'm linux user (I'm sure that command syntax is useless to penguin's users), I didn't test this on win. So, if you used nvflash before on your win box and the previous didn't work, please let me know.

It's my personal dropbox folder. Please, feel free to mirror it and I'll update this OP, since I use my dropbox space to work.
Edit: leclanpim made an easy way to flash this system.img, putting a .bat file with nvflash.exe and the system itself in one zipped file, sharing it at https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bw9sO0__Wuu-THkzcHpaeERmMHM
Thanks to him.

Dude, thanks a lot for your help. The trick for nvflashing the whole SystemImage work flawless under Windows7 X64 with the same set of commands as you write. Again, thanks.:good:

Louis, many thanks for your explainations.
If you can open system.img under linux and modify files as you already did rooting original 28G maybe, if you want to, you could do something more dangerous. Here it is.
download the latest CM10 nightly + JB Gapps,
merge gapps \system in CM10 \system,
replace the 28G system folder of your system.img with the created CM10+gapps \system folder and save a new CM10 system.img,
nvflash CM10 system.img
load battery and at last
with vol- and power you can do a hw factory reset and (maybe) you could boot new CM10 with locked bootloader, new partitions and without cwm recovery.
Do you think it could work?

LG Bugs?
Hi all,
I am currently on Stefan's deodexed V28g (with V28g BB & new unlocked bootloader)
I am having the following two little bugs (which I also had when I was on V28E odexed too)
1) Additional keyboard languages don't stay permanent. After reboot only english is checked.
2) Under Advanced Wifi settings"Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" options: Whichever of these two options I select ("Only when plugged in" or "Never (increases data usage)") the wifi disconnects OK when it should, but after device stays locked for a long time,
it never reconnects (as it did in GB). It is showed on but disconnected. You have to switch it off & then back on.
Probably they are LG's bugs but I would appreciate if someone being on this one (stock-stock ICS), could confirm.
Thank you
