clock work mod

I am running serendipity 6.3 I updated my rom manager premium. I hit flash cloworkmod recovery then I hit reboot in to recover. This brings me to the 3e recover screen. Then I can't reinstall packages because my power button is not working and it says verification error so I have to pull my battery then I use the 3 button fix to get me to recover mode again but this time I am in 2e recovery and everything goes good.

don't use rom manager on a rom with a custom kernel/recovery

So you shouldnt use ROM Manager to install Cognition 4.3 since it uses Cog Kernel? You should just manually boot into recovery and do it that way?

You shouldn't use rom manager for anything anymore other than to get the update.zip on your phone. Once you have the new recovery then just keep that on your phone and you just boot into recovery without rom manager.

+1 and if you keep the update.zip decide to flash to stock for any reason you won't have to root to flash a rom anymore

Understood. Thanks for the info. Im learning all the time!

[Q] why is cwm recovery not working?

I have installed cwm on my friends phone (galaxy mini) via odin. When i booted into recovery it said he couldn't mount /cache/recovery. So i installed root explorer on his phone and i saw there are no files in that folder! In my phone there is a file... so i was wondering if someone has installed cwm (i believe it was 5.2.7) and knows how to solve this. Maybe i could try using this file of someone else with same recovery.
Long story short: does anybody know a solution or does anybody wants to upload this file?
Sorry for bad english if i made any mistakes

simple way is to download file and usb to phone, the zip file. Do Not unzip it.

stock?
Dont use CWM on stock if u dont want to flash rom
It will give problem

Well... first i had tried installed cwm using a normal .zip file. Same problem. Then was when i actually installed via odin. After that i gave up and asked for help here. So i think it isnt the fould of the recovery. So could anyone upload the file in the next location, just to try : /cache/recovery
So i can put the file inside this folder and maybe it will work again.

Dont use custom recovery on stock, if you want install custom rom, just wipe data/cache and it will mount system, data

So i shouldn't use cwm to install rom? Indeed, installing a new rom is the goal

never flashed single file via odin before. i think i just need to deselect one package. but what kind of thing is it.. boot, phone, pda, csc or efs?
or do i need to select one package and just chose a .ops file i use on an other recovery?

don't worry error in mounting cache is normal, you can use it safely for installing and wiping

However also in the my stock recovery give a error in the cache partition but to me give the error of unmounting, says unmount(/cache); attempt 1 unknow error=0 rc=0, and later i must and will inform about this error.

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.

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.

Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium

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

Got a boot loop by rom toobox

Hello i installed rom tool box pro and i saw some options to change the icons of wifi.I did a bakup too and installed the icons but unfortunately it was stored on internal memory.Then it asked reboot and when i rebooted got a boot loop.
How to fix this? Is there any way to get the backup file from my internal memory?
Thanks.

If you have access to recovery, use aroma file manager. You will have to place the aroma zip on sd or internal storage and flash via cwm. Then you will have a file manager to work with

So why don't you just do that what you asked for in the torrent thread? Download and install a Stock Rom. After that you have "clean" state and can start again.
Or download some of the Custom Roms here and follow the installation instructions. Same result but already on Custom with all the benefits.

[Q] how to downgrade from CM7.1 to stock rom 2.3.4?

Hi,
I used CWM to backup stock rom(2.3.4), then I used CWM to try CM7.1 nightly. Now, I would like to go back to 2.3.4. I restored the backup rom. The step i took was:
full wipe
format /system
install http://nigella.modaco.com/files/r2-backtoext3-2x-unsigned.zip
restore backup rom
reboot
After that, I rebooted. There is bootloop. Just wonder if anyone know why and how to solve this? thanks in advance!

When you get back to stock lg from cm you must format all ext3 before restoring. Search for Dr4go tools.

Thanks for your reply.
I tried to use r2-backtoext3-2x-unsigned.zip to restore it.
Can you tell me the correct procedure?
1. enter CWM mode.
2. install r2-backtoext3-2x-unsigned.zip
3. full wipe
4. format /system (i think i dont need this step, right??)
5. restore 2.3.4 backup
6. reboot
Is this correct?
Maybe i should try to use Dr4go instead ofr2- backtoext3-2x-unsigned? thanks

Very simple:
1. Cwm install ext3 zip file from Dr4go
2. Cwm restore your stock backup
3. Restart

The bootloader is the first program which starts the phone (or any computer), ext3 and ext4 are different data mgmt systems.
Your case is old bootloader, the new bootloader was introduced by LG with ICS roms. But this is another story.
