I have a clockwork mod recovery backup (nandroid backup) of a firmware i need to flash (Orange UK) however flash it i need to use odin to repartition. Is this possible to convert a nandroid backup to odin files?
Thanks
For the Samsung Galaxy S btw
restore the nandroid and follow this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960946
You can also run the commands in mobile terminal. Also, skip the zimage, pit and modrm part. And use the packagerom script to make it into a tar. Et param.lfs from the stock rom in which your backup is based, zimage from the kernel you had. Use 512 pit.
Should work fine, it has worked for me
sent from gt i9000 with tweaky rom
Can someone please link me to a working gingerbread infuse kernel flashable in odin? I lost root and recovery with the new beta leak, and I need help.
so your in a Boot Loop?
and i believe you can take the CWM Zip and extract it and find the kernel file in there for Odin. take your Pick.
Hi everyone! I aware that maybe this is a stupid question, but i have to ask...Is there a way to convert a CWM backup to a flash zip to use with the CWM install zip option??? I'm asking this because I have a particular problem and is that I can't do backups or restore with my CWM so i can't install almost any custom rom that is in the developers forum.
I don't know why i have this problem, even I posted a thread asking for help about this, but I guess I'm the only one experiencing this issue and the only rom I successfully installed is the Victory Rom and is a flashing zip.
By the way I installed the CWM with the Atrix Bootstrap and I applied the patch RAZR-CWMOnBoot-Global-J.Y.Daddy.zip to have the CWM on every boot and I don't experience any GPS issue (I guess i don't know exactly what is the issue) and for the record when I'm trying to do a CWM backup i get the "check sum error" when the CWM tried to finish the backup process, and when i'm attemping to restore a backup the CWM starts without problem but then I get the "Error while restoring /system".
I hope you can helpme with this problem.
Thank's in advanced.

after you apply the atrix bootstrap use rom manager and install the recovery for the droid bionic and you will be able to back up and restore roms. advance restore also works incase you do a wipe, install a rom, and then want your data restored.

You could convert it... but you would have to write an updater-script, and get an updater-binary (you can basically steal it from any flashable zip.)

Should I remove the patch for CWM on every boot? Or i just download the recovery with rom manager ?

Well I tried this with no success , I installed the recovery for the droid bionic and then I reboot into recovery with rom manager and make a cwm backup, the result was an error when generating the md5Sum and my battery went from 60% to 3%, that kinda surprise me it's the second time that happens, the first time was when i was updating from stock 2.3.5 to 2.3.6.
Worth the shot i guess but until i can fix this i guess i'm screwed :'( .

That is an interesting point because everything I've done, the rooted, the atrix bootstrap recovery and the CWM on boot patch has been with version stock rom 2.3.6 I never tried do it with the 2.3.5 so i guess i'll be downgrading tonigth to stock 2.3.5.
thank's, when i'm done i will inform of my result.
cheers.

Follow what he said and you will be ok. I've messed this phone up more times than i can count trying to mod and theme stuff and the fkz is a life saver.

It works!!!! it was the stock 2.3.6 update that was stopping me from backup or restore in CWM maybe it changes something in the bootloader that screw the CWM, but now i'm testing the Lithium rom 1.2 . Thank you all for your help and tips.

Sorry for bringing this up again but I need the answer to the
original question on converting a CWM backup to flashable zip...
my question:
My CWM Backup consistes of 7 files:
boot.img
recovery.img
system.yaffs2.img
data.yaffs2.img
cache.yaffs2.img
nandroid.md5
.android_secure.vfat.tar
my guess is that the first two go directly into the update.zip
then What about the other three yaffs2 files and the .android_secure.vfat.tar file
how are they extracted/combined into the zip file??
ps.about the updater-script and updater-binary, can I take them both from any flashable zip?

Its possible, I have done it, and the only foders you need are system and data...
It will be a pain, tho, your gonna wanna do it through Linux, updater script needs to have the right commands in it to do this, so its def not a drag and drop process, even tho some of it is..

I had experience this yesterday when restore using PhilZ v3.81 recovery in my Note 2.. Basically the folder name is critical.. It must remain same as per when the backup folder is created. Else u will got md5 checksum error, if bypass md5 check, than error in /system recovery part. After renam the backup folder to the orig name, the restore is running smooth...

all you need to do is use unyaffs on the system.img and optionally data.img and if will unarchive them, then back it into a zip with the boot.img and build the updater-script!
Hi!
I'm actually Gio user, my friend has Galaxy Fit. And he is asking me some help for installing CM7.
After do some research at devv section. I found this CWM recovery [DEV] Clockworkmod Recovery for GT-S5670.
It's said the recovery doesn't support RFS file system, and won't work at Stock ROM. My friend running GB 2.3.6 Stock ROM.
In Gio there is moded flashable CWM recovery via stock recovery mode, while this one using Odin.
So I'm afraid to brick his device, since this recovery doesn't support RFS system and I could flash wrong file using Odin.
So, I need some advice and detailed step to flash CWM based recovery in stock ROM for installing CM7 for his Fit.
I appreciate all of your effort and time for helping me
That cwm doesn't support backup and restore if rfs (stock)...so after installing that cwm, you need to flash a custom rom (non cyanogen first, preferably)...then you shall be able to use nandroid backups and restore feature...
Backups feature only for custom ext4 roms (all are), not for stock rfs...
Get it?
(P.s. read the sticky, everything is there )

I flashed few custom ROMs in last few days. I used to restore to stock ROM using CWM recovery using backup but now backup itself is not working and I want my data with stock ROM back anyhow. I have nandroid backup copy on my pc. Is there any way I can restore it from PC?
I downloaded original firmware i.e. ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf but when I try to flash using flashtool, device gets disconnected automatically. I am not able to flash. Plz tell me the solution.

rom manager from google play lets you download backup's from pc or cloud storage but im not sure if its for the free users as i have the premium licence but its worth a check. with the flashtool problem try reinstalling the drivers or flashtool its self.
Not the same question, but similar.
When installing CM10 FXP on my stock 4.0.4 Xperia J, i did fastboot flash boot boot.img then entered cwm and made backup.
As far as i know, flashing boot.img erases only kernel and init image, so except wrong boot.img (4.1 JB kernel) in cwm backup, all other data is intact. And now, if i want to get back to more-or-less stock is it sufficient to use vengence (or any other 4.0) kernel boot.elf, rename it to boot.img and put its md5sum into file containing image md5 sums?
Plus, is it possible to get stock firmware 7.5 kernel in boot.img format to create functioning stock backup?

You can use vengeance, or open the .ftf you used for flashing and extract kernel.sin from it.That's the stock kernel.Open it with 7zip or similar, and you can see the kernel.sin straight from there.It's flashable from flashtool.
