Droid-X Clockwork Recovery image. Deodexed Rooted, Froyo'd

From AllDroid.org
Thanks to Mike919 we now have a clockwork recovery backup that you can recover to your phone.
What does this give me? well it gives you a way to restore your phone to its default state but it has already been rooted and deodexed.
If you dont know what root or deodexed are then please search around the forums. I'm sorry but i simply dont have the time to answer a thousand questions.
How do i use this?
Well it's very simple.
Unzip the file
On your sdcard make a folder in sdcard\clockworkmod\backup with todays date on it like \sdcard\clockworkmod\backup\2010-08-23.23.30.41
Extract the contents of This File into that folder. There should be 5 files inside when you are done.
Install Koush's Clockwork recovery (if you haven't already)
Boot into Koush's recovery
Choose restore, then navigate to the folder you created earlier
Choose restore. Then follow the instructions on the screen.
When you reboot you will have a totally clean system, with Froyo 2.2, already rooted. and fully deodexed.
I can this tell you that this does work. I have done it myself. I also know of one other person that has done it with no problems.
Please grab the file while you can, who knows how long this will stay up.
oh, also it has a black bar with transparency. Other versions will follow i'm sure you can always replace your framework-res.apk and services.jar if you don't like it.
again search alldroid if you need help with this.

Awesome thank you Mike

Stupid question but you know its gonna be asked.... you need to be on 2.2 before applying the 2.2 nandroid correct?

Yeah.

If we wipe, flash this, then nandroid our original 2.2 data partiton but keep the new deodexed system partition we will be all set correct?

Nice, thanks for the heads up. Worked flawlessly! Teenfaces' black status bar looks gorgeous! =)
@cbaty08: there is a link at the very end of first post. Here:

@mach330: just restore using provided files. I didn't wipe, was on rooted leaked froyo.

thanks...so it retains all our stuff? aight...gonna try this out in a bit. been having problems with nandroid backup on froyo. didn't wanna go to sbf flash to do this again. i'm hoping this will fix this problem.

NO! It WILL install a fresh froyo build. This will probably come late to you though...

ok thanks...hmm..now i'm debating. you think this will fix my nandroid backup problem?

Do an advanced restore and only redo the system partition not the data and you'll keep your data and get the improved system files
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

crap...i guess i answered my own question. tried to restore only the system and i get:
E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblkp1)
(Device or resource is busy)
Can't mount /sdcard
Does this mean i gotta do an sbf flash?

Can anyone confirm if this will work or not? So far we've gotten two conflicting answers.

So since I was born yesterday.....
What's the difference between this and the root/2.2 leak I did the other day?. Is this blur free in all ways? Cause that's the only reason I would wipe and go through all those proper steps is to be 100% blur free.

[Guide] Changing the size of your Partitions! -

this is not my work , so I will only share the link
but I hope some great dev will take a look @ it and see what e can do with it
maybe by increasing the system partition we can have enough space to dualboot 2 roms?
http://android.modaco.com/topic/347...-partitions/page__gopid__1821791#entry1821791

fine, working great !
only system partition didn´t change for me, but i set same value as for cache ... strange...
after NVFlash, i directly restored my CM backup. (formatted all partiotions first ...)
included cwm-5.0.2.6 recovery in NVFlash, worked like a charm. no need for SuperOneClick, just restore backup. Baseband 0823 was kept !
thanks for sharing.

Hurmm.. might miss some responses, will it work on stock mod? and can i mod it so that extsd become the main sdcard?

Seems to work on Stock mod.
Making the ext SD the main SD card is a kernal change I think

i´m using cm ...
it will work on ANY ROM, with NVFlash you flash orig. stock Froyo ROM to your phone, just with (your) changed partition sizes ...
when you are now flashing a new ROM from recovery, it will change your system, but will keep partition sizes ...
but as i posted before, the first restore of my cm backup worked fine, but system size wasn´t increased ( i set same values for system & cache partition) ... the next reflash of CM .170 today corrected this ... dunno why, perhaps cwm backup includes partitionsize of system, but not for data, cache, etc ??
but as mankian tested, don´t increase /data to more than 1,75 GB, or it will break CWM ...

Here is pre-build Partitons File & quick Guide in my MediaFireShareFolder :
Your Partitions will change to the following ->
System : 0.50 GB
Cache : 1,0 GB
Recovery : 50 MB
Data : 1.75 GB
in this folder is everthing you need :

just boot.img :i think : NO
boot.img is just kernel, system.img is complete ROM ...
to make it work on first flash, you also need system.img of your v20e ROM.
but you can put your prefered recovery in folder (rename to recovery.img first)
but no problem, just run NVFlash and afterwards restore your backup in CWM Recovery...
I had a look in my CWM backup, but system backup is noth stored as .img, but as "system.ext4.tar" ... so you can´t directly replace it with the system.img in NV Flash ...
just follow my quick guide, works fine !

Just afraid that might total brick my o2x.. need assurance if something goes wrong, i can unbrick using smartflash..

as posted in my guide, i tried too high value for system (0,75 + 1,0 GB) ...
phone did boot up, but couldn´t mount internal storage... (the rest of the memory)
a simple reflash with NVFlash with lower values (system : 0,5 GB) solved it ...
i posted prebuild file with stable values in my guide.
i´m pretty sure a reflash with standard "android_fastboot_emmc_full.cfg" file will get your phone back to normal if anything is not working right...
values that seem to be the max :
system : 0,5 GB
data : 1,75 GB
this is my actual configuration - my prebuild file (everything working fine, recovery, mount internal storage ...)

Ok.. is it possible to make /data max at 8GB? and make extsd as primary sd? This is what im trying to accomplish act..

Phone Re-booting continuosly

**** ****. I was messing around with the options in Titanium Backup Pro and selected an option that said that i can remove a few apps that have been linked to my ROM and free upto 80 MB in memory. It had something to do with Dalvik Cache. The software said that the phone will restart after the process. But the phone gets stuck at the HTC Quietly Brilliant Brilliant" white screen and re-boots. I tired Pulling out the battery, Wiping cache, Factory reset using CWM but the problem continues. What do i do? The phone is hardly 3 weeks old. Its still S-ON, rooted and unlocked at htcdev.com

Can you not restore a nandroid? Or try flashing a rom that doesn't need s-off like CyanogenMod 7.

Yeah i tried doing that. But get this error message in CWM:
Code:
Couldn't open directory.
No files found.
The Backup is in a folder "2012-02-12.06.04.17" and this folder is in the sd-card root. Do i have to copy the files in this folder to the root as well??
Edit: I forgot to mention that the above nandroid backup folder was saved in my computer and the sd card on which i had made the backup initially was involved in multiple formats during my futile attempts to gain S-OFF ..

You shouldn't have to. Was the backup created in cwm? Have you checked that the files are in the folder? What option were you using to restore your backup?
Another option would be to installed a custom ROM.

I guess if you are using CWM, the folder will not be on root.
As far as I remember, it use to be in some folder named CWM or ClockWorkMod something like that.
I guess the folder "2012-02-12.06.04.17" should be under "\clockworkmod\backup\" folder.
Not quite sure as I am using Ext4 recovery now.
But guess someone around here should tell you the correct folder structure.
And, I guess if you could try to mount card on your computer you will be able to see and modify the folder and put it in right place with correct backup directory.

I think i have to create a few folders since the path that CWM is looking for the recovery doesn't exist. Can you tell me the correct path so that i can create an identical location to copy the backup to??

It'd literally take you 5 mins to install a custom rom? And then in theory your fine will work perfectly. Then just set it up and create a nandroid.
When I had problems I formatted the SD card and only left the CWM files on. Then it restored/worked fine.

way2shree was correct in his post about the file structure. I think you need to do a bit of research before you do any serious damage to your phone.

Like i said the SD card on which CWM made the backup was formatted many times. Completely. So i had copied the folder with the backup to the computer.[Newb mistake. I realized the hard way]. And no the path is not \clockworkmod\backup\. Thanks anyway shree. Also i think CM7 is the only 1 that can be flashed with a S-on phone. so ill keep that as a final option since i still like sense.

I looked all over the place and found only this \clockworkmod\backup\<date> . Made both the folders but still not recognized. Can anyone confirm that this is in fact the correct path??

Phew. Atlast got the backup restored. THank you guys for all your help. Looks like i wont be doing anything android related for the next MONTH till i at least have a general idea of wth im doing.

[Q] Stuck at the "cm7" screen [UPDATE: Bootloop Logcat Attached!]

I was trying to mount the memory card by using the usb mass storage mode in a rescue disk but the mobile restarted itself a couple of times.. Later on I tried to mount the usb from cwm5 but was unsuccessful. In between all this, I do not know what happened (improper mounting/unmounting?) my device is now not booting into the OS.
Tried reinserting the battery.. no difference. Tried removing the memory card, stuck on "android" logo.
When I restart the mobile, it goes till the end of the bootscreen "Entering system" but then it reverts back to "cm7" boot screen and is stuck there.
My memory card is ok since i tried to mount it using cwm5 in windows and its working fine.
Can anyone let me know any quick solution to this as I need it working urgently?
I am using latest Apocalypse rom with firekernel kernel and amarrullz(???) script.

Did you considered reflashing the ROM?

Restored backup of sd-ext : lots of fc but working.

I am thinking maybe some broken application is causing this.. any way to find out for sure?

I already did install a new rom last night! But i still need data from previous rom... like sms and whatsapp and other apps.. so I have made a nandroid backup just in case.
Can anyone help me in solving it or recovering the data from the nandriod atleast? Tried appextractor but it wasn't able to restore sms and didn't show whatsapp only! TB didn't help too. I guess its due too d2sd script due to which these apps are not able to locate the data. Any other app which might work?

Maybe opening the nandroid backup manually with 7zip and such. Look up inside your data and system .img files. Use the files inside to create a flashable zip with the data from the apps you most desperatly need. done by using a flashable zip for a rom, deleting everythin inside it except for META-INF, and looking at the updater-script file to make mount /data and flash to /data instead of flashing to /system, place the folder with the data you need inside the zip.

I am getting what you are trying to say but seems like I don't need it. I was able to restore the sd-ext partition which had all the data.. seems like sms file is corrupt? But anyhow, I think most of the data is there now, but no apps! I can see the ".asec" files in ".android_secure" backup but have no idea how to make apk out of these? Any though how nandriod is able to do that or any script for that?

you must be looking at a wrong folder.
go to root folder of your device (where system, sys, etc, sdcard, data, storage and other system folders are) and check there.
edit:
actually, you aren't rooted, that's your problem. root, go to data/media/0/dcim. the photos should be there i think.

give it a try, but i doubt it will work. sorry :<

at least from now on, use the new way to backup. use a cloud backup app. for example for pictures i prefer myshoebox. u can do the same for contacts and everything. that way even if u go to another phone and log in to your cloud, you will always have your apps, your photos , your music , your contacts , everything.

If there is anything to save left ,then best chance is hexamob recovery on play store,but doubt it will find anything besides thumbnails.

Try using recuva sw, it helped me once, but i think files have to be deleted to work and not overwritten or formatted
But since i'm not sure you can give it a try, not much damage to be done
