CWM 4.0.0.4 - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded rom manager and it said there was an update for my recovery. I installed it (version 4.0.0.4) and then flashed launchpad kernal. So far no issues. Just curious if anyone else has usedit or knows what improvements have been made.

CWM 4 uses the internal memory. This means you will not be able to see your external sdcard in recovery. Other then that it is great.

Thank you

Unless you don't intend to use your external sdcard for flashing or to hold a Android backup, I would recommend that you "downgrade" to solarnz's recovery from his thread in Development.

[Q] Clockworkmod does not find sdcard

Hello guys,
I am trying to update to ICS on my WiFi Xoom MZ604.
Did a full wipe and cache wipe on clockworkmod, but it won't find my sdcard so I can flash it with ICS, instead it will show me the content of /sdcard and won't find anything on any directories, since I wiped it.
What should I do??
Thank you.
I'm assuming you are using the Tiamat recovery. Idk if it supports external SD or not. However, rogue recovery 1.3 supports both SD cards and adds a few other features. Not to mention it looks a lot cleaner.
I would suggest putting the rogue recovery on your SD card and flashing it.

thanks 4 the info
How would I flash it from the SD card?
yeah, still don't know what to do :-/
Plug you Xoom into your computer. Some kernels are sometimes problematic so put you CWM flash file on both the external card and internal flash. These can be distinguished in my computer. Be sure you have the latest drivers or you may have trouble finding your Xoom. http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
After that you go to install zip from sd and choose accordingly. Might I also recommend rebooting into recovery from the CWM app as I know in my case, I cannot access the recovery menu from the boot screen.

Rom Flashing

Is it safe to say that, unlike my Thunderbolt, any Rom flashing I do is supposed to be through a recovery program that only reads the internal memory? Can someone recommend a recovery method that best achieves this? Thanks.

Roach's 3.2.0.1 will read from an external sd card
Team Rouge's CWM will read from both internal and external.
If using the CWM 5.5.0.4 be careful with using superwipe script.
Thanks. I installed Rogue recovery and everything is working fine. What method of app/data restore do you recommend? I have titanium backup but it won't restore; I've read somewhere that the file folder needs to be copied or moved but I'm not sure exactly what to do. I've done this a thousand times with my Android phones but this is a little different

Flashing CM9 on Xoom keeps failing

I've already flashed a custom recovery image of ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.3.1 and have rebooted into recovery, which works fine.
I have Downloaded the latest version of CyanogenMod and gapps-ics and placed on the root of the sd card in my xoom. I have also tried this by placing this in the root on the internal storage but I am having the same issue here.
I can wipe data/factory reset fine, as well as wipe cache no issues, but then when I go into install zip from SD card, then choose zip from sd card I get the line E:Can't mount /sd/card/ so can't install the zips cm-9.0.0-rc1-wingray or gapps-ics
Any thoughts on what might be the issue here, and why I cant get to the zips. As I said I have tried this both ways, having the zips on the internal storage and on the actual SD card.
HELP! So so fed up with v3.2 I need CM9 on this!
I don't know if the message is caused by the launcher. I would disable the signature check and try again.

I had the same problem, did a few google searches which indicated there was a problem with that version of ClockworkModRecovery, i ended up reflashing with ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0 (R4c) and all was fine after that.
Hope that helps,
K
Thanks will give that a go and post back later for if it helps others.

Problems with Rooting

Greetings, everyone. I do not own the device, but my girlfriend does. Lately, she tried rooting her Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus GT-P6200 and asked me for help, I downloaded the correct root.zip file via my phone and sent it to her via bluetooth. After that, I made sure that it was saved on her MicroSD card and not just on the internal memory. Then I booted up in recovery, chose apply from sdcard or something like that...but then it always displays something like "No sdcard found" or something similar. Are there any ways to fix this or any other way of rooting her tab?
P.S. Forgive me if this issue has been raised before, I simply do not have the time to read other posts, threads, etc. I'm too busy with this semester in school. And I'm used to using cmd.exe for complex commands for my phone in Fastboot mode. :fingers-crossed:
Try having her transfer the zip onto the tablets internal memory instead and re-try it. I'm assuming you're using the v5.x.x CWM that aorth and/or gary built. The latest CWM that aorth built (v6.x.x) seems to have an issue with reading the external memory, if I remember correctly.

maybe you could try installing a different recovery, try the clockworkmod recovery that can be found in android development section of tab plus
continue loving your girlfriend!

oke question for TS:
1. are your girlfriend tablet use HoneyComb or already in ICS?
2. are you using CWM recovery instead of original recovery from Samsung?
if,
1. using honeycomb and haven't install CWM, download root.zip, and put it in your external sdcard. go to recovery mode, choose install update from EXTERNAL storage, reboot when finished.
2. using honeycomb and already install CWM, use the same root.zip above and put in your external sdcard. go to recovery mode, choose install zip from sdcard, choose zip from internal sdcard, choose root.zip and choose yes - install root.zip, reboot after finished.
3. using ICS and haven't install CWM, read my post here
Thank you all for the responses. I'll try to do it again sometime this week. At the moment, she's still on honeycomb and we used stock recovery from samsung. If I were to update it to ICS, I'd just connect her tab to my pc and open up kies, is that right?
EDIT: Oh, and one more thing. Is it possible for that 6.0.x cwm recovery by aorth to be flashed on this still-honeycomb tab?

about update to ICS, if u are at Austria yes u can do it through kies but if not, just download d firmware it from sammobile and apply it with odin, as simple as that..
Btw i rooted my P6200 using the stock HC and it was flawless.. good luck again
To everyone out here, is there any other way to root the P6200 model? The stock recovery always fails to recognize the sd card and internal memory.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Are you 100% sure it is on the external SDcard? By what method did you verify this?
Not being mean or dismissive at all - When I was running Honeycomb on my tab plus, the only easy way I was able to get things to the external card was to use Kies, or possibly mount via straight USB.
I didn't see an easy way to get to the external card via bluetooth or an onboard file manager because IIRC Honeycomb doesn't list the external card in the directory tree , the /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard both point to the internal card.
I never did try a simple linuxy type mount command, partly because I am not sure what the target would have been named, but of course to do that one would need to be rooted, first.

update from kies only available on Austria. Do manually with odin to upgrade to ICS.
i guess it's possible to apply CWM 6.0.1.0 by aorth on honeycomb.

Failed to mount SD card in stock recovery

So Im starting my gamut of backups before i begin unlocking/rooting this thing and Ive run in to a little roadblock. Im currently trying to backup my IMEI/EFS per this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255). Step one check. Step two no check: While trying to run the synergy zip, I am unable to mount the sdcard in stock recovery to "install the package". Apply update from external storage>E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument). I have a 64GB scandisc mini that I have watched some movies off of ect. I didnt format it just used it out of the box. Any thoughts? Ill post if i figure out my user error...
Coming from droid charge mostly at rootzwiki, I would have posted this question to the thread linked above but XDA sayz I noob no can post developer thread X/
You have to be rooted to run the zip and on a custom recovery.
Edit: I'm not sure if you must be unlocked but I know you need to be rooted to run the Synergy zip. Also, custom recoveries only see your external sd card if its formatted to Fat32.

yea thats what i ended up doing, but it sounded like it could be done on a fully stock rom...
