Yeah, 3.0.2.8 didnt work either. Only 3.0.1.4 works without vibrations.

Works like a charm.
Anyway to add this aswell: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745
So you have 2 option.
Internal Sd and External Sd?
That would be awesome!

USB mount doesn't work. Is it me?

Recovery shows 3.2.0.0 but the app still reports it as 3.0.2.8 - is this for compatibility?

recovery works fine, thank you, but i noticed a tiny bug:
date of backup is wrong, it shows me 27.04.2011 instead of 27.05.2011
(Time & date settings on phone are correct of course ...)

yep. same thing (like at 3.1.0.1)...

just made a nandroid restore and recovery can't mount /boot during restore.
It's probably why we can't ( for exemple ) flash a CM rom ( after nandroid stock rom ) play with it and if you want to return to stock rom using your backup you get a bootloop

Quite common (and annoying), that. Happens each time I've restored a CM NANDroid, have to restore, then reflash CM.

hi. just a noob question
can i use this recovery to flash all the roms for the optimus 2x. like modaco, cm7 and other modaco based custom roms. ?
i been reading the forums and there are so many recoveries. im kinda confused.

Yes you can.
There are only 2 types of recovery in reality, this type (external SD) and the one I built for internal SD use. If you're not sure what you need, pick the external one (unless you don't have an SD card).

bit of a noob..but cant seem to be able to install it. can someone give me a guide to install this with a mac thanks in advance

[RECOVERY]Unofficial ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2(WIP)

Hi
Clockwork Recovery v 4.0.0.2 for Galaxy Ace
v2:
- working nandroid backup/restore!
For now i've disabled backup/restore of boot and recovery partitions. Restore of DATA, CACHE and SYSTEM is working fine.
If you have JTAG and want to test restore of boot/recovery please PM me!.
- it's based on KPH firmware + root in adb (both in normal and recovery mode)
v1:
Tested:
- wipe Data/Factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- some options under advanced menu (to wipe)
- install zip from SDCard (tested on some file from UOT kitchen)
- reboot recovery
- mount USB storage (and other mount options) Better not try to format partitions from recovery yet - it could format them to ext4 for which we probably not have yet support in kernel.
Know bugs:
- poweroff sems to reboot phone
- problem with graphics (probably framebuffer is set to 24 or 32 bpp mode. There is also missing double buffer support in framebuffer - thats why we have 2 recovery screens). It'll be fixed - thanks to tj_style!!
Remember, I am not reponsible if you brick your phone. You're flashing this on your own risk.Not all options are tested!!!.
How to flash (v2):
1. Download file from here .
2. flash it as PDA with odin
Mirrors:
Multiupload (thanks to peeter123)
I've removed recovery.zip - it was recovery.img packed with zip, not update for apply using stock recovery.
To move in recovery:
- Volume up/down to move.
- Home (center key) to select item.
- Back to move back.

Where did you get this?

I just have the problem with backup & restore, also with flashing full rom from zip.
Are you get success with backup and restore?
since galaxy ace / mini is using different tool for read / write the bml partition. not like SGS that can using redbend_ua

Hi
Today i managed to run the newest Clockwork Recovery on my Galaxy Ace. It has some problem with graphics (as you can see on screenshots).
I've tested following options (and for me they are working):
- wipe Data/Factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- some options under advanced menu (to wipe)
- install zip from SDCard (tested on some file from UOT kitchen)
- reboot recovery
- mount USB storage (and other mount options) Better not try to format partitions from recovery yet - it could format them to ext4 for which we probably not have yet support in kernel.
Know bugs:
- poweroff sems to reboot phone
- problem with graphics (probably framebuffer is set to 24 or 32 bpp mode. There is also missing double buffer support in framebuffer - thats why we have 2 recovery screens)
I've also managed to create nandroid backup of all partitions (boot,recovery,data and system) but not tried yet to restore them.
Phone info
In recovery mode (sorry for terrible image quality)
I've attached packed recovery.img. it's based on KPH firmware + root in adb (in both boot and recovery mode) + su binary.
Remember, I am not reponsible if you brick your phone. You're flashing this on your own risk.Not all options are tested.
How to flash:
1. take KPH firmware
2. extract CODE_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5
- tar xvf CODE_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5
3. replace recovery.img with attached file
4. pack it back
- tar -H ustar -c boot.img recovery.img data.rfs system.rfs >ODIN_FILE.tar
- md5sum -t ODIN_FILE.tar >>ODIN_FILE.tar
- mv ODIN_FILE.tar ODIN_FILE.tar.md5
5. flash it with odin
To move in recovery:
- Volume up/down to move.
- Home (center key) to select item.
- Back to move back.

GREAT JOB MAN!

The main thing is to get the install update zip feature as that really is the reason we use ClockworkMod and what we wanted it for.

Can you upload ready-to-flash KPH file with CWM integrated?

Wiping partitions /system /data etc is very important without wiping it can cause many problems as I've done that many times with my ZTE Blade. But still I appriciate this greatly

Could You share what changed did you made to fix framebuffer problems ?? For now i've made some change found here to get 2 screens in recovery (was getting 4 before).
About backup, like i wrote, tested only creating. I have to set up correct size of all partitions in BoardConfig etc, Ace is my primary phone, so i don't want to brick it.
I've made some changes to recovery source (look into bmlutils/bmlutils.c - there are hardcoded paths to boot and recovery partitions, which on Ace are differend than those in code).
I've also used custom recovery_ui.c with custom key mapping.

I have PDA file for odin with it, but i've messed something with Superuser.apk and you must install it by hand (only Superuser.apk, su binnaries are fine). Maybe when i'll have some free time - i'm working and studying (now have exams) - i'll upload it, if someone won't do this before .

Sure, You can see on my github soon. I'm not yet pushing to my github now.
because the project of Cyanogenmod port and Clockworkmod port for Galaxy Mini is pending now until i have the Galaxy mini back, you can see the progress in this thread.
I've add the double buffering to clockworkmod source, since Galaxy mini kernel doesn't suppot that.
I hope we can colaborate to make clockworkmod is fully working, because the Galaxy Mini, Ace, Gio and Fit is using similiar environtment.

thx dude, i really need this.

It would be nice. As i see You have far more progress.
In my opinion it would be better to make it with only minimal changes (or even without) to android source (recovery etc), to keep it in synch with "mainline". Closer we keep(and less changes), longer we could have support.
Also getting rid of BML and use MTD (when we have sources for 2.3.4) would be great.

[RECOVERY][MOD][O2X][02-Nov-2011] Clockwork 5.0.2.7.111102

First of all, this is not my work. I only compiled it.
This is the usual ClockworkMod recovery, version compiled from the CM7 sources with additions/modifications by j_r0dd. What I've done is only to compile it for the LG Optimus 2X. For details, check out the link to j_r0dd's original thread for the Nexus S.
The credits go to Koush for the recovery itself and to j_r0dd for most of the modifications.
j_r0dd said:
This is based on the latest CM7 source which I modified for myself. I take no credit for the recovery whatsoever, but I will take all the blame for my mods . We all know this is Koush's hard work. Just some things were driving me crazy personally. First was the confirmation menu. I really got sick of scrolling through all those "No"s just to flash something, so i changed it for me personally and just thought I would share. I also created a proper wipe menu. I got sick of some wipes in the main menu and the rest in the "advanced" menu. I made this more Amon_RA like. See the attached screenshot for my changes. That change has led to a few others by me. flash with fastboot or flash_image. THESE ARE NOT IN ROM MANAGER. Also if you have an issue with this take it up with me NOT Koush.

(old) recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111027-j_r0dd_mod-p990.zip
Change log:
02-Nov-2011 (v5.0.2.7):
Merged 5.0.2.7 sources from CM7 repo again (some bugfixes)
Added option to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache at the same time
27-Oct-2011 (v5.0.2.7):
Merged 5.0.2.7 sources from CM7 repo (support for internal/external sdcard in backup/restore)
Now that Koush added backup support for internal/external sdcard I'll only build onw version (exernal sdcard in file lists) If you really want one build for internal sdcard, let me know and I'll do it.)
07-Oct-2011 (v5.0.2.6):
Rearranged wipe menu to avoid accidental factory wipes
Added "Reboot Bootloader"
Moved SD Card partitioning into a function of its own for both int/ext SD card
Merged 5.0.2.6 sources from CM7 repo
Added a menu choice of ext2/ext3/ext4 when partitioning SD card
As of this version, I'll only be providing one img file. It seems 5.0 has native support for internal/external SD card. Need confirmation of this, as I don't have this phone myself.
25-Sep-2011 (v5.0.2.3):
Updated to j_r0dd's 5.0.2.3 version. Currently no changes made by myself.
17-Jun-2011 (v4.0.0.5):
Moved the "Wipe data/factory reset" to the bottom of the wipe menu to reduce the risk of accidental factory wipes.
19-Jun-2011 (v4.0.0.5):
Added "Reboot bootloader" option in advanced menu.
Added the ext4 modifications kindly supplied by roalex. Needs testing. Please make a proper nandroid backup with a proven working recovery version before trying this.
20-Jun-2011 (v4.0.0.5):
Added "Show log" in the advanced menu. This can help when reporting errors here. Use it.
21-Jun-2011 (v4.0.0.5.z110621):
Reverted and correctly added roalex's ext4 additions.
Modified recovery.fstab for ext4 support on some devices.
23-Jun-2011 (v4.0.0.5.z110623):
Reverted back to ext3 for the meantime, since I didn't get ext4 working. Any suggestions are welcome!
06-Jul-2011 (v4.0.0.5.z110706):
Added "Advanced backup". Now you can backup/restore individual partitions.
Some other commits from other devs in github
Changed file limit from 10000 to 50000 in unyaffs. Should help when restoring large data partitions fails.
17-Jul-2011 (v4.0.1.0.110717):
Rebased completely on j_r0dd's 4.0.1.0 source and removed roalex's ext4 additions, as it wasn't working for everyone. Now trying with the original ext4 support which is included in CWM.
20-Jul-2011 (v4.0.1.4.110720):
Bug fixes
Two versions. One for internal storage and one for external microSD card (same zip file)
Disclaimer
These recoveries are compiled using the latest commits from koush, j_r0dd and others. That means they haven't been thoroughly tested and might have minor/major issues. I take no responsibility for any damages this thing might cause, but most things should work as intended. If you want something guaranteed to work, I think you should stick with one of the older versions.

I tried to change kernel and the device is locked on the LG screen, I solved with smartflash.

that's not even related to this recovery mod.... I had the same problem with "original" 4.0.0.5 and after flashing vorkernel had the same problem.... I solved it with restoring nandroid backup. The kernel does not work for me with CM latest nightlies.

So can someone please test the newest recovery version? I'd like to know if ext4 works as it should.

To have ext4 you also need a kernel with ext4 support (correct me if im wrong) So which kernel has the ext4 support?

If you've changed recovery.fstab, then it should be OK with EXT4, that's all I had to do with my releases to get it working.

Well, see, the problem isn't really which zips you can or cannot flash. It's more about whether you can flash at all or if ext4 works properly. If nandroid backup and restore works or not. I'm fairly certain that all kernels can be flashed, but how well they work is something that I don't see would be affected by this recovery.

Hmm doesnt seem to wipe correctly...after doing a clean install of CM7 I still have all my old apps and settings. That said I did install it in an odd way (replaced Paul's recovery with it and ran his .bat script). What is the easiest method to flash recovery?

That is the easiest way.

Exactly how did you wipe? Did you use the "format" commands in "mounts and storage" or did you use "clear data/factory reset"? I'm starting to think that the format command is not working.

Didn't go near the format command in mount and storage. In the specific "Wipe" menu --> tried factory reset etc/cache partition...all seemed to work way to quickly to actually be doing anything. Like I'd select wipe data/factory reset, hit yes and it would say completed after like 1 second (usually takes more than 5 with regular recovery). And then of course when I rebooted my device my data was still there, nothing wiped (except perhaps dalvik, but who knows).

[TOOL] NVflash Toolkit

*** NVflash Toolkit - Backup, Restore, Resize, Recovery, Rescue ***​
**** NOOBS READ THIS ****
What is the first thing you see when you boot up your phone?
It will be one of three things:
1. A white LG logo - you are running the original bootloader and partition layout.
2. A pink LG logo - you are running the new bootloader with the new partition layout.
**** It is important to know which one you are on before using nvflash or flashing any roms ****
I have put together a little toolkit to make NVflash a bit easier to use for the most common functions. The toolkit is still a work in progress, so not everything may work as intended! I would advise taking a nandroid backup to your external SD card and copying any important files from your internal SD to somewhere safe before trying this out. This version is for the original partition layout.
First, download and unzip the toolkit to your PC, it is available here: NVflash_Toolkit_0.2.zip - 218.14 MB
Second, connect your phone in NVflash mode (battery out, Volume UP+DOWN buttons pressed, connect to USB) and install the NVflash drivers if necessary (they are included in the download)
Third, run the nvflash-toolkit.bat batch file which will guide you through the functions.
After each NVflash attempt, I would recommend disconnecting and reconnecting the phone before the next flash - I had problems trying to recover the data partition in the same nvflash session as intitialising the partition layout.
The Internal SD card partition is too large to recover using NVflash, but you can mount the backed up internalsd.img file using something like DiskInternals Linux Reader if you want to access the files on it.
***NEW ICS TOOLKIT*** NVflash_ToolkitICS_02.zip - 291.39 MB
This is for the new ICS partition format with unlocked bootloader included.
1. Backup internal partitions (useful for rooting any new builds)
2. Flash v28e ICS rom or backed up partitions using new LG partitition table
3. Revert to gingerbread partition layout with normal and large (ICS) partition size (no rom included, boot to CWM only)
4. Restore ICS data partition
I will add more functions later...
Let me know if there are any other useful NVflash functions it would be worth putting into the toolkit. My initial version has a supersized option as well as large which has a larger 2Gb Data partition. Would it be better to have a 1Gb system partition rather than 512Mb in the supersized partition layout so that it is useful for anyone who is using dual boot? Also, I have put in v10b as a rescue rom for now, but I could put in a different one there, or even have a selection of rom images that could be used for a quick rescue of the phone. Tell me which you think would be the most useful one to have, since nobody actually uses v10b any more!!
Changelog
Version 0.2 - Fixed CWM 5.0.2.8 installation, Rescue rom now includes CWM 5.0.2.8
Thanks to Koush for his indispensable CWM recoveries, Rusty! for his NVflash recoveries which inspired me to make this script, and the search button for teaching me everything I know.

do you think this can be usefull with the RCs cm10 since we don t have any space left in system

The main reason I made this was because it's going to be a struggle fitting modified ICS and CM10 roms into the original system partition, but we still want to use the original unlocked bootloader if we can get kernels that are compatible.
There are various threads with tips on how to use nvflash to change partition sizes, or go back to a stock rom in an emergency, or flash a recovery, but I thought it would be worth making a one stop shop for all the common nvflash functions. Also I haven't seen any discussions in the O2X forums about using nvflash for backup and restore, so those are the functions I am not quite so confident about yet...

Hi
I wanna thank for yet another fantastic tool. Trying it as writing. I have a wish for an updated resque rom like 20s if possible. And maybe add the dual boot development as an additional feature.
Anyways, great work

I kind of think many would like to have your tool with bigger system partitions to avoid the risk of editing the file(s)

I'll probably put up versions with different rescue roms. AT the moment I'm most likely to be switching between LG leaks with the totally insane new partition layout (what the hell is that AP2 partition 6 all about?), and good old fashioned roms with a bigger system partition for better tweakability. I'll do a CM7 stable release, and then add a CM10 once it the milestone build is out.
Might not happen immediately as I am playing around with all the new leaks and my batch file is a mess just now because of all the switched partition numbering and tweaking it to help me use bitdomo's root method.

This is the Linux version, I hope will be useful.
INSTALLATION:
Decompress RAR and copy its contents into the folder NVflash_Toolkit_0.2
EDIT:
Correction of error in v0.2 and uploaded new version ICS

Thanks for that. I don't have a Linux machine at the moment.
If you have one you could try injecting the superuser files into a backed up v28 system image and then copying it back to the phone. That's how I was going to try rooting the v28 roms, and it might be simpler than the rather roundabout method of doing it using the old bootloader and recovery.
Not sure how that would work with file ownership and permissions though - my Linux skills are very rusty.

Better late than never, great work. It is now easier to work with NVFlash
I have several NVFlash to CWM recovery and with system.img rooted.
The only problem is that with ICS I cannot mount the file system correctly, and course, if I don't ride I can not modify its contents.
But I'm still doing tests.

There's still more chance of doing it in Linux as all the windows toold for reading EXT filesytems are read only.
I've just made a cfg file for the new ICS partitions layout, but without an unlocked bootloader and recovery it's not much use as nvflash cannot properly write the encrypted bootloader.
I'm going to try wkpark's unlocked bootloader for the SU660 and see what happens....

SUCCESS WITH THE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!! --- wkpark is officially an O2X Genius
....now, to get some kind of CWM working on it....

Great joy gives to try something and that works, really!?

We need a new version of CWM compiled for the new partition layout, but the unlocked bootloader is great. I'm just uploading and nvflash version in the big ICS leak thread and will be updating my toolkit with a version for the new ICS partition layout with a few useful tools.

Rmein, how to change system partition to 768 with ur tool? As the max it go is 512. Tks

Here's a tool that reads and writes EXT files in Windows:

Sir rmein, I apologize now if my question is nubbish but you can add a tool to the option to back up only the data partition? In the section up to the number 3 option also includes the system and I think it would be a good thing that the two options are separated.
Thank you for your attention and for the great job you did with the tool.

Just uploading a toolkit for ICS partition layout which includes that function, and then I will go back to do another version of the GB toolkit to make that easier and include a supersized system partition which can fit dual boot roms.
