Everytime I try and restore a backup from cwm the phone reboots to the first mytouch boot screen and just stays there. Is there something I'm missing on how to restore a backup? I'm using cwm 3.0.0.5, I make a backup, then when I want to restore it, I wipe data and cache and hit restore backup. Once it's finished, I reboot the phone, then it just sits on the boot screen until I eventually decide to pull the battery.

Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 will work only with 2.3 (gingerbread ROMs).
Since the stock ROM is 2.2.1 you need to use recovery image 2.x.
you are in luck though. re-Flash CM7 download Clockwork ROM Manager scroll to the bottom "All clockwork recoveries" and flash the highest 2.x version they have. Then you can restore your back up without problems.
Thanks, I actually found that exact answer about 10 minutes after I posted this. I did just that, flashed cm7 then flashed cwm 2.x. I wanted to try cm7 anyway, but after an hour just trying to get the market to work, I decided to just go back to good old iced glacier.

I bet you didn't flash gapps or the newer version of it. That's why you couldn't get the market to work.

I have no idea what I did, but eventually I got it all worked out. I'm now a very happy cm7 rc1 user with a 1.84GHz smartass kernel.

Glad it worked out for you, but you (and others who may have this problem) could save yourselves a lot of this by downloading TrueBlue's zip (from development sub-forum) and flash it. It has cwm 3.0.0.6 plus stock TMO recovery.
With CM 3.0.0.6 recovery (thanks to Option94 for that), you can backup/restore both Android 2.2.x (CM6) and 2.3.x (CM7). TrueBlue's thread OP gives you instructions on how to use it.
It is a modified ROM Manager that "disguises" cwm's 3.0.0.6 and the stock Recovery as cwm 3.0.0.5 and 2.5.1.4 respectively.
PS - if you use it - don't forget to "thank" him (and Option94 also).
UPdate - if you subsequently update ROM Manager, it does not wipe out the above scheme with the disguised cwm's - it still works the same (at least through ROM Manager 3.0.1.0).

Ignore all those BS. Go in Market and download Rom Manager 3.0.1.0 and then flash the latest 3.0.0.5 (orange) recovery image. Then place the GAPP anywhere in your SDCard long as you know where it is. Reboot it in to recovery but selecting it from Rom Manager and then when its booted select Install zip from SDCard> Choose zip from SDCard.
Flash the GApp.zip and be done. Just remember when you flash NB via full wipe you have to flash GApp.zip everytime but if you just mount new NB on top of old one then DO NOT flash GApp.zip again as it will still be on your device as it ment to be installed once in that case.

No you didn't do what I said then. Go to Market> Rom Manager (3.0.1.0)> Download/Install. Then run Rom Manager and flash 3.0.0.5(latest not 2.5.1.2/2.5.1.4). If you use 3.0.0.5 you don't have to worry about 3.x(orange) or 2.x(green) as you can run 2.2/2.3 based without changing it.
3.0.0.5 < not Rom Manager its Recovery.
3.0.1.0 < ver of Rom Manager with 3.0.0.5 Recovery frame.
Problem is for people who don't know it get confusing as 3.0.0.5 could mean Recovery and Rom Manager. As normally other software specify and have different type of scheme for framework and software but in this case they both share same number so it gets little confusing.
ok i installed 3.0.1.0 rom manager from market so now i should have no issues when restoring 2.2.1 roms or 2.3 roms?thanks for the help man im coming from a Vibrant that was lost/stolen..that vibrant was so easy to root lol.thanks again

Well if you flashed 3.0.0.5 Recovery then no you won't have to worry about Green(2.x EXT3) or Orange(3.x EXT4) as you can flash both.
Hi,
Phone Info:
Rooted G2x running 2.3.3/2.3.4(CM7)
Well, heres when my problems started:
1. I had CM7 running perfectly with a Faux123 Kernel(UV/OC) and then...bc of the random batter change problems i wanted to swicth to Trinity Kernel by Morfic. When i first flashed the Faux123 Kernel, it didnt wipe my entire phone but on the trinity one it seemed like a whole new ROM!!! It wiped my phone and was a new rom. Unfortuneatly i didnt do a Nandroid backup of my CM7 but i did do it for my Rooted Stock. BUT the problem is now that I go back to the Rooted Stock, Rom manager DOESNT flash CM7 again. I tried redownloading, downloading the freeversion, redownloading the ROM but no solution!!
Yes, i know that you can flash with ClockWorkRecovery Mod but the Google Apps dont come!! On another note i flashed CM7 like this and then Titanium BACKUP was force closing on me after few seconds of trying to restore data/apps!!
So i guess my real problem is that:
1. Rom Manager does not flashanything ever since my Trinity Mishap
2. Even if i do the flash through recovery manually(Install Zip from SD card) then no Google Apps show up....but if i get the Market from 4shared then it doesnt let me add an account !!!
3. this is a followup to Problem 3...if i download the Google Apps Zip from online do i just "flash" it with CWM just like i did the CM7
PLEASE ANSWER.. THANKS FOR READING!!
Hi All
Finally plucked up the courage to register and ask a question after lurking for the good part of 2 years.
I've an i9020A and have flashed CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 v1.0 which is great, however I wanted to try Steve Garon's kernel which just wont take.
I reboot into Recovery, wipe Dalvik Cache a couple of times, install Steve's kernel which apparently flashes no problem.
I reboot and get the optimising Android applications screen then check my kernel under settings.
It is still the original KalimochoAz kernel and I cannot turn on my wireless.
Now this has happened previously when trying to also update my kernel under CDTDroid's AndroidMe 1.2 which I could only fix by restoring back to 1.1.
Any idea on what may be wrong here guys?
Appreciation in advance.
Lally
Have you tried just flashing again? A bad flash often results in wifi not working and may be the cause of the about page showing the old kernel. Remember to wipe dalvik cache again, too.
Thanks for the reply Harbb, do you mean a re flash of the Kernel or ROM? If Kernel then yeah I have done, same scenario. I'll also try a re download of the Kernel to see if that improves anything but this is much akin to me trying to update from Speedy3 to Speedy4 under AndroidMe 1.2 which was unsuccessful.
Just the kernel, as you've already tried. Just remember to do a NANDroid backup (CWM --> backup & restore --> backup) when you have a stable, working ROM. Can save you alot of trouble if you don't have a relatively recent one.
Also, are you using CWM 5.0.2.0? And could it be that your phone isn't particularly happy about the 1100mhz OC with Steve Garon's kernel?
I'd suggest updating CWM recovery to the latest version.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Cheers for the help guys.
Yes, using 5.0.2.0, but something is not right cause I just tried to flash CWR again from within Rom Manager (4.8.1.3) and it gets to around 95% and the app gives 'Rom Manager is not responding.
Looks like I'll have to try a complete wipe and reflash.
Will report back the results.
Forget rom manager all together.
Download the recovery you want to use.
Flash it via fastboot
flash kernel.
I'd do what albundy said - flash a new recovery through fastboot and make sure the bootloader is unlocked (vol. up + power --> bootloader: unlocked)
Ok, downloaded CM9 1.1, redownloaded Steves kernel, reinstalled recovery from fastboot.
Wiped and formatted everything twice then installed from scratch.
So far everything is good, still getting errors on Superuser, but installing again via recovery seems to fix that issue.
Cheers chaps.
Good to know Lally, happy you got it sorted out.
Cheers Harbb, the test will be when I want to change the kernel again I suppose, one complete wipe and install a day is enough
Dont want to muck up the CM7 thread and no thread was started.
FB Im wondering if twrp is fully wiping when you run the wipe option. I used the kj6 heimdall one-click to get back from a bad flash. However once I finally was able to get everything set back up I had restored some apps through Titanium Backup, but only app no data. Amazon app store was one and I had to delete the backup and uninstall the app, reboot clear cache and then re-install it to get it to work. The theme chooser app was fcing on me until I did the same thing.
After I did this I applied a theme apk that borked me. I was stuck on the team acid logo. No boot loop just stuck. I then one clicked to kj6 again, then used antonx kernel one click. Made a new backup of my efs, wiped everything including boot img. Flashed the twrpcm7 zip and followed the directions to finish.
I know anything is possible but is it likely that twrp is seeing something not wiped in the bml to mtd conversion and its causing conflicts?
If your not comfortable with the possibility of bricking your phone do not follow my steps and format everything. Formatting boot has the possibility to brick your device.
Hmm, well /data isn't getting wiped in R11. Bryan submitted a patch for updater.sh that should take care of this though I haven't tested it. I haven't tested a BML->MTD (cm7-twrp) flash though, but I'll have to look into it in the next few days. I'm running a rom build right now, so I'll probably test that out tonight.
I didn't wipe anything, I just flashed the twrp boot.img. I am running Team Kick Asses MIUI Revenge (MTD). After I flashed and the phone booted, wifi would not turn on, and it said error underneath the button. Pulled a logcat but all it said was wifi failed to initialize. Is that error due to the fact I didn't wipe anything or factory reset/fix perms?
Either way, it is super sweet recovery!
Max says its a driver issue. Ill find the post and link it.

The reason wifi didn't work is because the wifi module needed to be from the same kernel build. I'm not sure how FB built the two builds, so I don't know if he included a module from a different kernel build or not.
Try the R11B with TWRP and then install R11(not B) with inject TWRP enabled.

Now that you have twrp make a cwm zip for the r11 kernel, flash it via twrp and leave the "inject twrp" option enabled. You should get working wifi and twrp

Like I said on cm thread the wifi module is different from the one Max used on his new boot.img which is why twrp and the new boot.img doesn't work with the current miui build ...the first release of dianxin os had the new boot.img fb sent me and that was the wifi issue.

I flashed miui on with twrp doing a wipe firs and it installed miui fine, with wifi and everything seems to be fully functional. Just to be safe I wanted to test out twrp on miui, however the only way I could get to it was volume up+down+ power. But that loads it right up, and I flashed a few different modems to see which gave me the best signal, and it worked each time. Btw, nice work fb twrp is great.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Which modems did you flash? If the modem flash DID work you should be able to go into Settings > About Phone and check under baseband version. I'm not sure if that's the exact menu on MIUI but there should be something very similar.
I just flashed kg4 and that's what it says under baseband version, I flashed kd1 earlier and that's what it said before I just flashed kg4. Just to make sure it was working. I think it says t959vuvkg4 or something to that effect, it definately just changed though from kd1

Hey guys just a progress report on this. I've been messing with a twrp injection cwm zip all evening. After some discussion with bhundven, the way we're going to go about this is to NOT include twrp by default in cm7. It's been really hard to get a working copy compiled and included with cm7 and if we can't do this automatically there's no point to doing it at all.
The CWM zip will (hopefully) allow us to give you the option of using TWRP even if you're using CWM at the moment. The benefits are the following:
You won't need to mess around with kernel features that don't work (wifi was broken, ffc was broken)
You only really need to inject twrp once via CWM since twrp comes with an inject option before you flash a CM7 update.
It'll make it easier on us since we'll have less releases and thus have to provide less support.
At the moment I'm trying to have something for you guys tonight, but the chances are slim for that happening.

For some reason TWRP can't Flash Zip file like Mtd modem kd1. I try to make a nandroid bk and didn't work. Also I try to save error logs on sd card didn't work.

What errors did you get when trying to flash the kd1 modem or make the nandroid backup? I've tried making and restoring a nandroid backup using CM7 R11 with twrp injected by the zip and it's worked fine for me.
What rom/kernel combination are you using?

Hello.
I decided to flash the new CM10 on my GS3 tonight and I ran into a problem
i was following the steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
Step 2: Download and open the EZ recovery app from HERE (If your coming from section 1 or 2 and already have a custom recovery, reboot recovery and skip to step 4).
Step 3: Open app, select CWM recovery, then tap the pulldown menu, choose CWM 6.0.1, select flash, then reboot recovery.
Step 4: From CWM recovery, Perform a nandroid backup from the "backup/restore" menu(Optional but recomended).
Step 5: Wipe data/factory reset, then under the "mounts & storage menu" Format System.
Step 6: Navigate to "install zip from sdcard", from there "choose zip from sdcard", and finally install the rom you downloaded in step 1 part A.
Step 7: Again, Navigate to "install zip from sdcard", from there "choose zip from sdcard", and finally install the gapps package you downloaded in step 1 part B.
I downloaded the ROM i wanted and I got to step 6 and I forgot to download the Gapps file.
IN CMW i went back and rebooted the phone after i wiped the data off it and everything, I thought this would just boot to stock ICS.
Now my phone will not boot up and it just stays in the GS3 logo screen.
I was wondering if there is a manual way that i could just make it boot into the old ICS so i can place the Gapps file back on my SD card?
Or is my device bricked?
Please let me know.
Thank you
Just go back into CWM and flash the ROM you downloaded. Once its flashed wipe data/cache again then go to advanced and fix permissions. Then boot into your new ROM, it will take a little while to boot into it because it will be like the first time you turned your phone on and set it up after you got it. I really don't know why your phone is getting stuck at the boot screen but....
Anyway once you have booted into your new ROM use the browser and go download the gapps you need and reboot into recovery, wipe data/cache, flash gapps, go into advanced and hit fix permissions again (it will take longer this time), and reboot.
Just a heads up, if you downloaded a version of EZ Unlock above 1.2 then you will have to go back to stock via Odin ( if you're on PC) because versions above 1.2 don't really unlock your bootloader so it causes a soft brick. If you used 1.2 or any version before it then you should be fine. But if you get a message after you flash your rom that says something about not being approved by Verizon and please take it to your nearest store well you didn't unlock your bootloader. If you get that message just use Droidstyle's guide to go back to stock via Odin and then start over again.
As long as you used a EZ Unlock 1.2 or lower you will be OK to flash your ROM, reboot into ROM, download gapps, reboot into recovery, flash gapps, etc. Just use the steps above and all should be fine.

Thanks for the information!
I got it to work somehow but this is what I did.
I got it to boot via CMW and restored the backup that I first created. Then i downloaded the Gapps file and placed it on Sd card and just continued the steps on the tutorial.
Luckly the tutorial asked me to download 1.2 so that is what I did and I am glad that I did it.
Thanks for the help but I have JB 4.1.2 installed and everything seems to be working fine.
Just so you know some ROMs like Paranoid work best if you flash the ROM boot and let it settle for 30 mins and then rebbot into recovery and then flash gapps and fix permissions. If I had know you had made a CWM backup I would have just told you to restore that, I must have just missed that part in the OP. Either way, its not always a necessity to flash your gapps with the ROM, I always boot into the ROM and let it settle first and then flash em. I also wipe data/cache/dalvik, if I am flashing a ROM, or just cache/dalvik, if just gapps or similar, 3 times.
I am happy everything worked out for you. Sport I wasn't of more help sooner

I have another question..I installed the "stable" version of CM10 from their website and ever since I installed it i have noticed that my signal is not as strong as it was before.
Is there anything else that I need to do to the phone to increase signal strength? I usually have around 3-4 bars in my house now i have one. At work i used to get 2 bars now I have none.
Let me know if you can help with this.
Thank you

Try flashing the latest vrblj1 radio. No need to do anything special, just follow the radio portion of section 6. Fyi you dont ever need to wait to flash gapps or wipe everything 3 times...what the guide says is what works best. Trust me i have tried every method imagineable.

It may have worked for you, but a lot of people on the PA thread have had problems with it when they flash gapps right after the rom without rebooting in between, just trying to help the OP before he gets started crack flashing. The first time I flashed PA on this phone I did rom + gapps and when.I rebooted everything was buggy as hell, so I did reboot into recovery and fixes permissions and when I rebooted it showed a screen that said Activating Please wait. Every single time I rebooted I got that screen, that is just the most annoying bug that I experienced with that flash, and when I asked for help I was told to flash ROM, reboot, then go into recovery and flash gapps and fix permissions.
On Liquid on the other hand I never experienced any problems whatsoever with flashing the ROM and gapps in the same session, but for ROMs that I have never used before I flash rom, reboot, flash gapps, fix permissions, reboot and go. I also flash 3 times because I uber paranoid about stuff being left over from whatever ROM I was running, and I did experience problems with stuff being left over when using CWM 6.0.1.2 when flashing and just wiping everything once so I Odined back to stock, which I learned thanks to you and your guide which I love btw, and then rooted, unlocked, and flashed TWRP this time since CWM wasn't working for me. And even with TWRP I wipe everything 3x now just to be extra cautious because I don't want a repeat of that episode.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way droidstyle, I'm not trying to start a fight like so many others on the forums do, just sharing what's happened to me and my phone and trying to help others. I learned everything I needed to know about flashing ROMs on a phone that has its bootloader unlocked from your thread. It is the most comprehensive thread I have seen for noobs about flashing and everything else. Thank you so much for it!
Also to the OP's question about service, I have flashed every radio and have never gotten better signal in AOSP roms, the connection was better but it didn't actually get stronger. I have 2 more 3g bars on TW ICS and I have 1 on AOSP. You should definitely go to the newer radio and test it out, but I've never seen an increase on my phone, but that all depends on where you are and how good your towers are too.

Download the top radio here, it will be VRLJ1 like droidstyle said:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-of...zon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/
The only radio tutorial you will need is on droidstyles guide, not sure what step but I know its there. Just download the Recovery Installable version of VRLJ1, also download the rpm for VRLJ1 there is a link right above the modem downloads. No one really knows for sure if the rpm are necessary for sure of not from what in have read but I always flash the corresponding one when I flash a new radio.
Also if you want to try out the other radios and see if they give you any better service, sometimes they will depending on area but so far the newest is the best so far for me, just go to the website above and download any of the Recovery Installable radios and their corresponding rpm's just like this one and flash it. There is no reason to clear data or cache when flashing as that won't be affected. Also you only need to flash the radio once. It stays no matter what ROM/anything else you flash.

RPM
Is there a difference between the RPMS?
the most downloaded RPM is the VRBLJ1 yet the radio is named VRLJ1.
Let me know because I am ready to flash this radio!
Thanks!
You download the rpm that matches the radio you want to flash. So you want to flash the VRLBJ1 radio you also wanna flash the VRLBJ1 rpm.
I think maybe invisiblek misnamed the files or maybe I'm missing something. Either way for that radio that you have get the latest rpm which is VRLBJ1

I just flashed the new radio and RPM provided in the links above and it seems like nothing changed. I checked the radio version in the settings and it is matching what I flashed but still service is still terrible 1 or two bars.
any other ideas on what I should do?
That's the same way it is with mine, but when I flash the new JB leak it works way way better, service wise, than even stock TW did. I have better overall service and I have not lost service or had to continue resending texts cause they won't go through, like on AOSP ROMs.
Things are supposed to get better, data wise, when the Ril and a few other things are incorporated from TW JB. I had read, before the leak, that service will be better on AOSP ROMs because they would be able to incorporate the leaks RIL. Now after there has been a TW JB leak I have read that the devs are waiting on the JB source code from Samsung so they can incorporate the Ril. I don't know which it is, I have seen one dev post he was waiting on a JB TW leak for the ril but it was a dev working on a TW ROM soooo..... I haven't seen an update to any of my favorite ROMs since the before first leak came, I'm talking about MIUI, Paranoid, and Liquid, so I don't know if they are in fact working on incorporating the Ril or if they are just taking longer than usual.to put out an update cause they're working on bugs. They could've also been waiting on the 4.2 source code to come out, I really don't know.
That's pretty much the long way of saying there's no way to get better service on AOSP that I've been able to find, all the radios have done for me have made the 3g/4g handoff a little better and faster. Hopefully the AOSP ril will get better soon and we can have as good of service as we have on the TW JB leaks.

Well thanks anyway.
I just installed the latest version and left it at that..hopefully CM10 improves and sends out a new update to fix a few bugs that I have found.
They post nightlies every night, so hopefully someone will post some code for bugfixes on their github that will be incorporated and we can have better working AOSP!
