Hi Guys,
Just got this galaxy min for my daughter.
Using guides on here have got the thing running 2.3.4 and rooted it. However I've flashed the recovery image and all looks well untill I try to take a backup - it can't mount /system.
Tried it manuallt from within recovery, same with data. Its almost like not having root rights but within Clockwork recovery!
Any ideas? I've played with a Hero, Nexus one and now a GS2 but this has me foxed!!
Cheers
Bryan
*sigh*
Can't find a solution anywhere.
Anyone with a working recovery please let me know what you did to install and what version - maybe a link to it?
Many thanks
Bryan

This happens with stock ROM. So I could not made nandroid. But after flashing custom ROM.nandroid backup works. So the problem is with firmware not with cwm.after installing custom ROM, you will be able to mount system.
Hello everyone,
I downloaded CM10 alpha 5 from ivendor and put it on my internal sd card.
In the post it said flash the update.zip and gapps.zip files, but I only had the whole cm10 zip file.
I installed that but it didn't work and now I'm stuck in the clockworkmod.
I think I didn't read well enough, so can you tell me what I did wrong?
I guess I should try another ROM, but is it even possible to put one on your sd card when the phone doesn't start?
Thanks alot,
Bob
You made a backup before you flashed it?
If you did, restore it and reboot your phone, i think you did something wrong, if you downloaded the good file you just flash update it and it will reboot normally, be sure its a .Zip file
Sent From My Rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 JB 4.1.2 (GT-I9100)
So for some reason, some phones naturally bootloop in recovery when trying to install CM10.
Did it say installing, then stop, reboot and bootloop in recovery?
If it did, DO NOT PANIC. Everything is fine. Sometimes the phone needs to do that to install an updated recovery. If that did happen, just take out the battery and reinsert it, reboot into recovery. Flash the same CM10 again, then Gapps.
But just as a failsafe, if you want to flash back to 2.3.6 (I'm sorry, I don't know what it is for the I9001) through odin with dbsdata.rfs (due to data partition differences between stock and CM10). Just in case you want to start completely over.

hi it say to flash the "update.zip", do u think u should of flashed the cm10 file u downloaded instead?
i am only new to experimenting with my phone myself and nearly made that mistake. have u got any further with this problem anyway?
you Just have to do a wipe factory / flash upgrade.zip / flash gapps / reboot
if you do a wipe factory, you will lose your data. but this is a safe method to move from a old rom to a new one

NANDROID ? Don't use stock recovery. Don't make nandroid backup for stock rom.
so how should i flash cwm recovery .
and which recovery is best suited for nandroid backups and comptability with all apps.
does it necessarily require me to install custom roms.

I am in same situation with a GT-S5570, it has stock rom and is rooted. I downloaded Clockwork Manager to it's SD card.
Then from stock Recovery manager I tried to install CWM from sd card. The screen got distorted and graphic looked awful.
Had to reboot and nothing got installed.
Tried Odin but it won't recognize my phone while in Downloading mode.
I want to install Cyanogenmod 10.1 Android 4.2........any ideas? I guess I need somekind of backup first, if I mess up and need to reinstall stock? Hard to do with stock recovery mode though.

To make it detect in odin you need drivers... install those by installing kies.... flash CWM from stock recovery only and not by using rom manager....

Apps can always be reinstalled in no time I think, problem is I can't install CWM from stock recovery, when selecting update from sd/zip or whatever it says, I pick the CWM file on my SD-card.
Then the graphic gets messed up and I can no longer see the menu clear.

before you flash cwm make sure its in the root directory of your sdcard... . So to say sd root is to say the topmost folder on the sdcard, which is just on the sd and not in a folder.
without getting odin recognize your Mobile you should not flash anything as if you get in any trouble it would be easy for you to flash the stock rom
and best and safest method to flash cwmr is to flash it through odin
you cannot backup stock rom with cwm recovery only custom one's can be backed up
to backup apps and data you should use titanium backup
hi. ok so i flashed cm9.1 on my verizon galaxy tab schi800 and it wasnt working as well as my old galaxy cubed rom for me so i tried to restore my backup. no go, bootlooped. so i reflashed cm9 in cwm and it worked. then i already had the stock files and have restored my tab back to factory several times through heimdall a year or so ago so i flashed that thinking i would go stock get root and go back to cubed that way. now im stuck at verizon screen with factory recovery and download mode working but im at a loss. if i can get a cwm in heimdall .tar or something i can flash that and then reflash cm9 and that will work
i read where apparently you cant go back to 2.3.5 after flashing cm9 after the fact (sigh) so if anyone could throw me a link to a flashible rom for my tab in heimdall or a zip for cwm that can be flashed with heimdall or tell me any other way to fix this id be very gratefull. thanks

yep. that worked. im back on cm9.1 thank you so much. now i have to figure out if i can go back to stock somehow then flash cubed or if i should try cm10. cm9 is draining my battery horribly lol.
The thread also guide how to return to stock, but maybe a sprint stock, which is fine if you are flashing cube anyway.

Hi
I have a p7320 which I am trying to install a custom ROM to, and I am having some trouble.
I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569122
1: flashed cwd through odin
2: flashed superuser through cwm
All fine until now
3: then I flashed the kernel from the same site through cwm
4: bootloop
I didnt take backup, so I couldnt nandroid back
I couldnt turn the device on, so I couldnt transfer another kernel
There were no "mount USB" in cwm so I couldnt transfer the files there either.
I was able to go into download mode, and I flashed the only stock rom I could find in .tar (flashable through odin)
from here: http://androidromupdate.com/2012/12/12/u-s-att-samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-lte-sgh-i957-android-4-0-4-ice-cream-sandwich-update-finally-arrives/
flashing went fine and the tab booted.
Now I went back and flashed cwm again through odin, but when I was going to place superuser and the new rom on the sdcard.... there is no room on the tab.
In explorer it says : 0 byte available out of 26.9MB
This tab is 16GB.... what happened?
I cant transfer files to it, so the only thing I can flash is the .tar files through odin.
please help

Hmmm, this is usually a sdcard mount thing
so maybe all you have to do is reboot to CWM do a format /sdcard from mount and unmount section in CWM
then reboot to system and see if the problem still there

Hi
There is no such thing as format/sdcard in that section.
Only format/cache, format/data and format/system

this probably means that your CWM version is old [5.5.0.4 I guess]
I don't know if your tab has a newer CWM cuz my tab is p7300,
so try to find a newer one or even try TWRP instead, cuz it also has sdcard format function
one little thing, you said your tab is P7320 and yet you have installed a SGH-I957 ROM {read it from your link}
I honestly don't know the deference between the two devices
what I'm trying to say is: maybe the problem is because you're using a ROM for a different device
so maybe you should try THIS [the latest ICS Odin tar samsung framework for P7320]
I have a p7320 and I am using this ROM.

Hi
I was able to download another .tar full stock rom which I flashed with odin.
Worked out fine, and the memory of the SD card is back.
However... I once again flashed cwm and superuser, then i tried the rom you are linking to but the tab wont boot with it
Its just stuck with a black screen after the logo.
Now I have reflashed the stock rom with working sd card
Sorry about that. I remember I had a black screen for a few minutes but eventually it booted. The developer also pointed out boot animations are missing

Hi,
I'm the developer working on the CM10 ROM for the P7320 - yes, the first boot might take a while, and it doesn't show a boot animation, so it might look like it's crashed. But I have tested going from the stock ICS image to my ROM a few times and it seems to work fine, eventually. Perhaps you could give it another go and see?
Cheers.

Hi
I will definetely give it another go this evening
Can i flash superuser, your rom and gapps in one go? Or do I have to boot it in between?
thank you for your answer
The ROM should have super user already, so you shouldn't need that. You can do the ROM and gapps together.
I tried again, and this time it worked like a charm!
Thank you!

What am I doing wrong. My device starts to cyanogenmod boot animation but not further.
Do I have to do the dalvik wipe and cache wipe?
I think i have tried everything. It's been rolling boot animation about 30 minutes now.
Sorry about my bad language.
And thank you for your answers.
I dont have a solution. Is this the first time you use this ROM? One time I wanted to revert to stock to check something and I got an everlasting Samsung animation until I did a factory reset from recovery. Did you try factory reset?
