CWM won't flash ROMS - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

CWM won't flash roms I have restored a backup of CM9 from july, but I can't flash anything new.
Should I install that touch recovery?

TWRP? Sure, give it a go... cant hurt... worst off you can start over with webos doctor and reflash that package. Could be a bad install of CWM.
Try downloading ROM manager and flashing a n update through it too...

Thanks, new problem though root on my rom isn't working.

As in you don't have Superuser? Or no root access?

Right now I flashed a backup I made today of the original ROM from the tutorial. Now I installed goomanager and it's currentyl downloading the touch recovery. ROM Manager couldn't find any for the device and asked if I installed manually.

Okay, I just flashed touch recovery and there is no entry in moboot for touch recovery or cwm

Must have been a bad install of CWM... rather than messing around with it, maybe just start from scratch...:banghead:

TWRP won't flash my zip, I thought I finally had it working I'm going to try another zip....

YES! TWRP flashed OaT's light CM9! Finally... the sad thing is that it must have been a bad zip the whole time causing my problem. But now I have a good CM9 stable and I couldn't ask for more. Thanks for your helped man I thanked all your posts!

Sprint galaxy tab ics help

I have been looking for two days now for how to get ics on my sprint tab. I see people have it and I have tried to flash it and failed.I read it may be because I have an older cwm. 4.09 or something like that. I want to get ics on here sooooo bad. I very experienced with flashing roms and rooting and all the goodies so I don't need anyone to hold my hand but some links on how to do it or what ill need to do it would be amazing. I can't figure out how to get newer cwm and ics. Help and links would be amazing thank you

you could try here
it works for me.
I looked at that one and tried to flash it but every time I try to flash it says installation aborted from what I gather its because I have a old version of cwm. What version r u on?

Just to verify the link above on pg 38 post 380 does give the right way to do it. I had never used heimdal I always use Odin and I couldn't get heimdal to work for a couple hours so I gave up and said screw it and ran the tar through Odin and it worked! My screen did goofy stuff but all I had to do was boot into the new recovery and wipe 3 times each data and cache and delvik then flash team hacksun then flashed patch then rebooted and then went back into recovery and flashed gapps.
I swear this tablet was made for ics it never ran this well. A whole new tab is a understatement. Thanks to all the devs and rickxx for guiding the way

Black screen of death and nandroid backup hangs

Hi,
Currently I am using Criskelo's ICS V11.2 LRK with speedmod kernel just flashed 3 days ago.But in these 3 days,i had 2 screen of deaths.I tested by calling my own number and the phone is still on,but black screen.So i had to pull out battery and reinsert them and reboot.The SOD happened randomly.
So I would like to change kernel to NoteCore and see if it helps with the SOD.But I was doing a nandroid backup first in case but it always hangs halfway.Tried twice,one to internal SD,the other to external SD,but it will hang after a while.
So now I am afraid of doing anything else and would like to ask how am i going to go forward.Initially i am thinking of either flashing kernel zip in CWM or in aroma installer but i am afraid it might hang like the backup process.As this is my first time using aroma installer apart from flashing the ROM, can i ask if aroma installer has the likelihood of hanging just like my CWM hung?
Thanks!

Can i flash any ROM since i am on speedmod kernel already which is deemed safe?Any chance of flashing ROM and it hangs halfway?:crying:
why don't you do a more safe way. downgrade to GB and start over again from scratch.

But backing up in CWM still hangs.I noticed that both Criskelo and Kingdroid is using CWM 5.8.18.
Anyone has experince backing up with CWM 5.8.18 with issues?
edit.install zip from sdcard(theme) also hangs halfway!
aroma installer also hangs halfway!
oh my..what is happening to my phone...
From my observation,every time it enters /system, it hangs:
-nandroid backup,once it enters "backing up system"
-install theme .zip from sdcard,"unmounting system"
-install mods from aroma installer,"unmounting system"
Any remedies to it? thanks!

If im not mistaken, you have lost full root. Try using root explorer and perform copy & paste under system folder.

I tried copying and pasting but it says read only.I also tried to mount r/w but i cant.However the root (/) i cant mount r/w.Back when i was using Criskelo's ROM,i also tried to mount r/w on system/app but i can't as well.Does that mean i do not have full root?

Yup. You only have partial root. Thats the problem you facing now.
Have few methods to obtain full root. You can follow dr.ketan method.

For fast step. You can download cf-root kernel in odin file. ( not zip file). And flash it thru pc odin.
You can use " triangle away" to reset binary count and remove yellow triangle.

Hi there,
I managed to flash back to rooted GB then to stock ICS,afterwards to custom ICS.
Big thanks to you for pointing it out that it's was partial root problem which enable me to find the cause.
Btw,since i go from stock ICS to custom ICS,changing ROMs should not have any root problems already right?

Need advice on upgrading touchpad to cm9 or cm10

Need advice on upgrading touchpad to cm9 or cm10. I am currently at cm7 7.1.0 RC1 tenderloin-Kang. Would like to go to the latest CM version. Looked at some instructions. A lot of links are missing or not working. What is the easiest way to upgrade this version. Can you use the Goo manager? Can someone point me to a current thread with the latest instructions? Thanks in advance.
Do you need it step by step with links? How familiar are you with the flashing process?

I am familiar with the process. Just looking for the most stable version and the smoothest process. I see that some people recommend blowing away the apps and starting over. Some say to upgrade using the acmeinstaller2. Is the CM10 version stable? Can I go straight to CM10?

I would strongly advise using ACMEUninstaller to remove CM7 completely, then ACMEInstaller3 to install CM10. I had some problems when I didn't do that.
You'll want to Acmeuninstall, then acmeinstaller3. You can use the CM9 nightly as people generally choose that as a good place to start, and since you're using acmeinstaller3 you'll be ready to flash CM10 as soon as its all sorted.
Right now the biggest thing bothering people with CM10 is that flash works buggy at best. But other than that I'm using CM10 based ROMs without issue.

doubts about recovery

when i install rom manager, download and flash droid 3 recovery, why doesn't work? can look idiot, but i don't like safestrap because i can't flash any rom over stock. when i look at this, i see the stock that remains there like a loss of storage space.
i wanna flash roms over the others. like i've always done with my other phones.
so, could somebody help me pleeease! with links, tips, etc .. thanks!

first of all the roms from cyanogen mod is provided as installable zip
not a odin package
if you are on kitkat thats not a matter.
then you can use philz touch or twrp to make a full wipe
and install the cm9 downloaded package

Sorry for my misleading. By using oding I was just referring to the fact of going back to gingerbread original ROM and also doing a /512 partition.
I need to know of someone has done it successfuly. My home button is not working any more so it is not easy to get into download mod if I brick the i9000.

I've been back and fourth between 4.4 4.3 4.2 etc.. I do full wipes including system and flash an official cm package like cm9 reboot recovery flash cm again to be sure.

I've just fixed the motherboard of my old S1 and started using it again after using a HTC One mini for 8 months. The phone was a piece of crap and so are HTC! They have me a HTC One M7 for my troubles but was too little to late. Samsung forever!
In time I may upgrade to the S2 for the extra ram, but I'll be sticking with my trusty S1 till then.
