[INFO] ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 [09-05-11]

I've just finished releasing updates to a bunch of devices to ClockworkMod Recovery 5.
Major changes: update from 09.05.11
Fix the fact that some users were loosing root access with 5.0.1.0
Fix menu bug Even if you select no during wipe dalvik cache, it still says it wipes it (it is not actually wiping it, it is just a display bug)
Please update to ROM Manager 4.4.0.3 or higher and try out the new recovery!
Troubleshooting:
Flashing issues: If a recovery does not flash properly, enable erase recovery in settings and try flashing it again. Recovery flashing can be finicky at times.
Bugs: Report them to me! You can always revert back to the older recovery too from within ROM Manager!

To flash recovery for Nexus S, download recovery and place it into your sdk tools folder. Reboot into bootloader and execute:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img

ill try
Sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium App

I'm on it!

Or you can directly flash it from Rom Manager

You can also just put it on SD and flash from terminal then reboot.
Edit- before someone asks
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/5014cw.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
Obviously the sdcard/* is whatever you rename the file

Hey guys,
Everytime I restore from a backup through Rom Manager with the new recovery, I lose root. Right now, I'm stuck at work and cannot flash a rom, theme, battery mod, etc. I'll go back to 4.0.1.4 as soon as I go home
Am I the only one?
Edit: Found a solution==> Reboot into Recovery, flash su.zip again, and it's all good now!

doesn't work for me..

I always recommend not using rom manager for anything flashing related, most problems occur for people when they're using rom manager and get fixed when done through recovery or in this case terminal/adb

I had the same issue. What helped for me was (in Terminal) :
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image (wait for a minute)
(Reboot if the next step didn't work)

If I use the latest one, can I boot into recovery by using Rom manager? Will Rom manager detect my latest clockworkmod?
Accidentally sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

Strangely, *immediately* after flashing the new recovery, I have begun to experience the Nexus S Google Voice Search bug. In the two months I've had the phone, this never happened - not even once.
This was with a two week old CM nightly, and a Matrix kernel.
Regardless - I'm hoping we'll start to see 2.3.6 kernels/roms come out soon which will fix it permanently. I'm just shocked that this issue popped up immediately after flashing the updated Clockwork.

[GUIDE] Flash Clockworkmod recovery on Galaxy Mini/Pop

At first: Download the attachments to this post. warning: If you have Android Froyo, download CWM-Froyo.tar. If you have Gingerbread, download tass-recovery-cwm.tar
For the steps 4-9, there is a screenshot below.
After downloading, you can start using my little guide!
1. Power down your phone.
2. Enter download mode by pressing 'Volume down + Home button + power button. Wait a second. After some time the screen says download.
3. Connect through USB to your PC.
4. Launch ODIN v4.38.
5. Wait for Odin to recognize your phone. (At the left, there will be a yellow box that says COM "?", the number can be different.)
6. Select Tass_v1.0.ops by pressing the 'OPS-button'
7. Make sure 'One package' is marked at the left of the window.
8. Select tass-recovery-cwm.tar with the 'One Package-button' at the bottom of your window.
9. Press start, wait 'till your phone reboots. Now you'll have ClockWorkMod-recovery installed.

Does this work for Froyo as well?
If not maybe you should add it to your guide as a warning!
Nevertheless thank you very much for the guide!

Well, as far as my experience goes, it does.
But, found a version that's specially made for froyo, so I'll add it to the post.

Hi have the stock 2.3.5, I flashed clockworkmod and I tried to do a backup of my rom. Clockwork on opening says:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
and then when I try to do a backup the same errors...
if I select "mounts and storage" I can't manually mount nothing (/system, /cache, /data).
I try to format the 32GB sdcard again and I changed it with another one (2GB). Same results :-(
anyway the problem it isn't the memory card, clockworkmod can see the contents of it. the problem is that can't mount system folders...

Had the same problem last time. Try to contact the developers over at Clockwork...
You might get some help over there. I've just made this guide, I am not the developer.

You can't backup stock roms using this CWM recovery since it still doesn't supports backing up of rfs partitions. The developer left it so since we believed those who will be using CWM recovery will probably be using any custom rom which is supported for backup.

Agree with yagya.... Cwm fully function on ext 2/3/4 file system only. I've tried on stock rom xxkws2, backup sucseed..but failed to restore.

Yes, you can backup and restore stock roms with latest CWM recovery v5.0.2.6 however, there comes an issue when you try to restore GB backup over cm7 or other custom rom. So, it seems pretty useless.
Also, CWM recovery doesn't work fully with stock roms. Just yesterday someone complained recovery shows error when flashing gingerbread-2.3.6-root.zip file for rooting GB 2.3.6, later when I suggested him to flash it on stock recovery it worked.
So, it's pretty simple and clear custom recovery is good with custom roms only.

Unable to backup stock rom, seeking help.
Hello all and thanks Bunnybugs_007 for the tutorial.
I managed to install CWM v 4.0.0.5 but still I cannot backup my stock rom.
I can boot into recovery mode from CWM (4.0.0.5) But I can't backup stock rom.
I am getting mounting errors. (The only partition I can mount is the sdcard partition).
I would also like to ask you if I can update CWM through itself during recovery mode. Is this possible, I mean, CWM flashing itself?
Or do I have to use ODIN to update CWM 4.0.0.5 to CWM 5.0.2.6.?
This file is in a zip format but it does not have any img file inside...
I own a froyo but keep getting erros in mounting.
Thanks a lot.
P.s.: I been looking around for the answer but haven't figured it out yet. Although the question about CWM updating itself might by absurd i am forced to ask it. The info that I have gathered until now is confusing. I have also tried to update CWM through ROM MANAGER. but its GUI doesn't even recognize the CWM that is already installed. And RM doesn't recognize the phone model, when I try to get an appropriate version for it. So it's of no surprise that RM can't backup stock rom either...

thanks for the guide. going to check it out...

It simply means .. No, you can't backup Stock ROMs.

Hi Guys!
I flashed Clockworkmod recovery in my Galaxy Mini. I have Rom Manager, but when I try to partition my sd card, it says "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install blah blah blah!"
The ClockworkMod is working in recovery mode too, but I don't know what exactly is the problem!
Help Guys! I desperately want to increase my internal memory

^^ You installed CWM via Odin or Rom Manager? If its through Rom Manager, then I guess something would have turned wrong.

Dont think so.. But you could try. I tried touch cwm but couldnt get touch input working. TWRP is good too
Sent from my GT540 using XDA

Confirmed. This recovery can't restore cwm backups because backups made with this recovery are in different format.
Good thing is that:
- backup's are faster (restore's too) than cwm
- can apply compression to backups so they will weigh less (207mb with TWRP vs 350mb of Cwm)
- can reboot into fastboot (in cwm don't)
- touch!!!!!!!
- can partition SD and set ext size and format.
- same features as Cwm recovery and more organized
Thanks for compile this recovery!!!

Fastboot is the only way to install this recovery.
I already try with android terminal and root toolbox.
The terminal returns error.
After both methods and reboot to recovery the phone goes to Fastboot mode.
I'll try fastboot later, because this is very interesting alternative recovery

hmm? what error? is it to do with memory?

you CAN flash this with terminal emulator / adb shell (for example):
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
If you want to interact with SDcard from your computer you can do this with ADB (instead of usb mount). There is a flag to disable USB mount for TWRP (TW_NO_USB_STORAGE) but i will leave it in for now.

Iam installed this recovery by using yaffsexpert.apk.try this apk works great for me

Also could we get some screens up please.

About the same functions as CWM, but faster backup/restore. And it is a bit faster because you have touch and don't have to scroll trough all the 'no's' in the CWM menu.

like thomas1991_12 said it has same options as cwm but with faster backup and restore,only thing that doesnt work is usb mount...

In cwm recovery menu, don't select apply update from sdcard option. Instead select install zip from internal sd card(it's misleading though but this options lets you select zip file from your external sd card) and navigate to CM9 zip file you copied to your sd card. Then flash that zip.

I have had this happen to my phone twice and nothing fixed it, had to rma it and they replaced the main board, even reflashing on their end didn't solve the problem. Both time I was using voodoo lag fix and when I disabled it to flash a new rom I got that error.

Partitions not mounting @boot

Hey Guys,
first off i had this issue once before, but in that case i could restore a cwm backup from sd card and after sometime the problem fixed itself,
this time, i switched to bacon and i wanted to prepare the p880 for my sister to use, i downloaded zaiben, formatted my external sd card and put the rom on it, i rebooted to recovery wiped( i used the clean to install new rom in philz recovery if i remember correctly) everything and flashed the rom and exactly as last time, the flash seems to go way too fast and ofc i cant boot into android. now as i formatted my sd i have no backup to restore to. kdz flashing seems hopeless as well, as none of the tools recognize the phone when i put it in s/w upgrade mode,
for proof: i checked /system with aromafm and found it being empty after flashing a rom, i even tried extracting the rom zip on sd and moving the content from the zip to /system manually but after a recovery reboot, /system was empty again( only empty "bin" folder)
is somebody able to explain me why i have this issue and maybe how to fix it, or upload a clean cwm backup of whatever rom for me to use?
thx

Thanks for the help until now, really.......
In Further investigation i could find out that Roms ARE actually flashing properly, but /system and probably other partitions are not being mounted
At Boot or in recovery(manually mounting works Here) which is why aromafm reports an empty /system, after a manual Mount in either recovery itself of Aroma console i can See /system being filled with Rom files, now i will change the thread title accordingly, and now ASK: can i force /system to be mounted at Boot somehow? Someone pls answer this time

Okay this is ridicoulous.... why am i getting no help AT ALL?, thank you srsly.....
i investigated even further and suspected that something with fstab might be wrong, but fstab file looks fine to me:
Code:
/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/CAC /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/UDA /data ext4 rw
/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP /system ext4 rw
if someone bothers to answer: what do you think?
pls help........

please help

What recovery are you using? Are you sure your partitions aren't formatted to F2FS? (which would explain why the (F2FS-) recovery can mount the partitions but the system cannot as it expects an ext4 formatted partition rather than a F2FS formatted one)

i'm using an older version of philz touch (i dont think it has f2fs functionality), as i had weird flickering issues with latest philz,
using cat /proc/mounts shows ext4 for /system and other partitions

Did you try to boot another ROM (Slim, nameless, whatever) or using another kernel?

could you give me a quick how to on using adb in recovery from pc? i put the phone in sideload mode and tried "adb shell dmesg" but the output just was "error close" and using the command in aromafm terminal gave me an endless stream of log
(Also currently need to charge the phone a bit)
EDIT: NVM kmesg incoming....
okay next question, how can i dump the output into a file and how do i know where it hangs? time in recovery is not correct anymore(i set it once but after reboot it was wrong again, also in kmesg the time again seems to be different)

does that part help? i think it has to do with boot

nah, I need the entire log
here's how you get it:
boot the system until it is stuck
hard reboot into recovery (don't enter sideload)
then run the following commands:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg
adb pull /sdcard/last_kmsg C:\whatever\path\you\like\last_kmsg
then post the file via pastie.com or any other online paste site

no such file or directory
by hard reboot you mean vol - and hold power without pulling battery after hang?

Yes, I meant that. But no kernel log seems like your boot partition/kernel is messed up... I guess you'll have to find a way to restore your entire phone via LG tools, I can't see any other way around that..

two last things then: when i hold vol - and then hold power until i reboot, recovery does not start, it tries to boot android again (has always been like that)
and also: all roms except cm official show no bootanimation before hang, cm does

1) yeah, I know, easiest way to fix that is to simply pull the battery and then boot into recovery
2) if the bootanimation shows up, it means the kernel as well as the ramdisk have booted properly. So in this case, you should be able to grab a last_kmsg as well as a logcat

hi

My battery was full when i performed this procedure
