this will be so great, good joob and keep em comming. Next stop Gingerbread

Installed it just aminute ago worked great. I played around a bit, i formated system, data, cache and dalvik cache. I also tryed format boot but that was a no go. In the first clockwork 3 releases there was also this problem with boot. i cant remember if it was the same error, but its fixed now so that it works correct. I also flashed FolioMod from clockwork iwth out any problems. Really nice work

Great Job!! Now we just need some AOSP/CM7 love

Can I use it with stock rom too? Tnx

Great work thanks alot for taking the time to do this

I don't try backup / restore (nandroid) with stock rom maybe it work, but when i try to flash stock rom it skip the different part and don't write anything.
However, what could be interesting if backup / restore work is to make a backup of a fresh install stock rom with the last update include.

I currently work on the CM7, but be patient, it's more complicated than for recovery.

Of course dude, take your time and slowly churn that tasty gingerbread dough

Hi,
Based on the positive response i started to install the ClockworkMod recovery. As i got the error message that there was no space on the device i did a factory reset (i have 1.3c). Now the installation of the ClockworkMod looked ok. But after i rebooted the device nothing happened (blank screen). Only the initial screen shows (with pressing the on/off-vol+ buttons) after this just a blank screen. Also if i press within the 3 sec the on/off and vol+ the screen goes blank. So i guess i have now a bricked folio and i will start to read up how to unbrick.
BTW i do not know if i did something wrong or there is/was some particularities with my configuartion or that the clockworkmod still needs some work..

If you delete the update.zip for clockwork recovery you will have normal recovery. When installing clocwork you pu the zzip to root of exterenal sd card boot to recovery do system update, device reboots, now you have to do the system update again, your now in clockwork recovery

Not sure you bricked it, you can use the fastboot method to flash the recovery again, then you can use the recovery to flash a full rom.

Btw, where do we have fastboot access? I thought what we have is the tegra bootloader which is quite risky to enter? (heard of the story of ppl getting stuck in the bootloader with no way to get out)

you can access fastboot by pressing POWER x 3 ( attention : 3 times only not 4) then VOL UP when the folio start. I use it everyday to flash recovery.img or boot.img with no problems.
Usage :
place the recovery.img or boot.img in the same directory as fastboot then from a shell navigate to your fastboot directory and us the following command :
for recovery:
Code:
./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
for boot:
Code:
./fastboot flash linux boot.img
you can use the -w option to wipe data and cache
for reboot :
Code:
./fastboot reboot

So if we flash recovery.img thru fastboot we should be able to boot in to clockwork recovery via rom manager?

Thanks for all the responses but i go step by step (hopefully "unbricking" my folio).
I was able to get to the display of the line "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol, please execute 'fastboot' command" (by pressing 3times the power button).
I connected the folio with USB to my PC (Win7) but the needed driver could not be found in the PC.
So i have a couple questions.
-Is the PC-driver part of the SDK? or how can i get the driver?
-I guess that with the PC i can copy via USB the recovery image to the fastboot directory. Is this correct? How else can i get the recovery image to the fastboot directory?
-Is the recovery image the "Folio stock image for full restore to stock rom" Dexters thread
Hope i can get some more help with restoring my system.

Rom manager don't work with this recovery for now, official support must be added by Koush in rom manager before. I will commit the source to him when recovery is finalized.

For driver :
- Download the android SDK here
- Edit "<your-android-sdk-folder>/usb_driver/android_winusb.inf"
- Add the following after [Google.NTx86] (or [Google.NTamd64] if 64 bits windows)
Code:
;NVIDIA Tegra
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01
- start your folio in fastboot mode and plug in. Win will not find the right driver to use
- Force driver installation : click update driver -> have disk -> point to "<your-android-sdk-folder>/usb_driver/android_winusb.inf"
- Choose bootloader driver
After this you normally can use fastboot place in : <your-android-sdk-folder>/tools
For the recovery.img you can use the one include in the update.zip or one from FolioMod.
Hope it can help you

I am still not there...
Again thanks for all the help and support
OK I installed the SDK (and the JRE as it was also a requirement). But i did not find the USB driver so far (which is strange because i had connected the folio with the PC earlier).
While doing all that i discovered that somehow the ClockworkMod Recovery was installed correct. I could get the expanded ClockworkMod menu. (Using the power button and simulteaneous the Vol+ button within the 3 sec. And whatever i selected update or recovery, i got to the ClockworkMod menu.) This looked promissing.
So i put an update.zip on the sdcard (dextermod 1.3b).
In the menu i selected 'apply sdcard:update.zip'. After this i got the screen (white text) Confirm install? THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE and (yellow text) 7 lines with '-No', one line with '-Yes - install /sdcard/update.zip' and 3 more lines with '-No'.
After selecting the 'Yes' line i got the following messages:
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Strange enough, even after the update was aborted, the system started again after i selected to reboot in the ClockworkMod menu. Wow. Who knows what happened may explain this. But nice for me the system works again (till the next time).

Looking very nice. Just flashed it and made a backup

[Q] Help : My Phone isn't detecting in Odin

Not being detected in Odin3 1.3, 1.83, 1.85, Drivers are installed properly, Tried in two systems and all USB ports, I had flashed UC V8, Was in MIUI and was updating when new updates were releasing through CW mode, Even had tried cm7 V2, now the USB mass storage isn't working, its just charging, and when i go to download mode and connect to system with Odin on, phone isn't detecting, USB Debugging is checked, Firewall and anti virus is off.
Working : CW mode, can flash through that.
Can not bear battery drain anymore in MIUI, so going back to Stock/Titanium.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy Sl I9003

Can you tell us what did u do before this happened?

First i was in stock KPN, then i flashed UC V8 and then through CW mode i flashed zip file of MIUI 9, then when update came, i had inatalled zip MIUI 10 through cw mode, then since there was heavy battery drain, i flashed cm 7.2, but since i used to like UI of MIUI and no change in battery drain, i flashed MIUI next version.. between this, i forgot till when i could do mass storage, but suddenly few days back it was just battery charging when i connect to sys, then i thought it will be fine if i go back to stock( also battery is better in that)/ thought to install titanium rom DDKP3, but now to do that, odin is not detecting device..
driver is installed properly, tried uninstalling and installing, tried in diff systems, diff cables, all the USB ports, but its just getting charged, USB Debugging is checked..
Help please..
recovery and downloading mode working.. i can also flash from zip files without any problem..

Re install...
RE

check ur usb cable....try ur friends..
nd finally if all is good...nd still nt working..

Hope this helped

He tried on two systems, I guess its not Windows. When you connect your running device (not download mode) do you hear that typical device connected sound?
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA

YEAH...
Im in w7..
I also hear while in download mode.......also..dat tring
I guess it would be driver(kies)problem.....

Sure this would also work in download mode, but if she does, I wanted to ask whether she is able to communicate with the phone over adb or not...
If yes -> Some strange problem. Try to reinstall the drivers, but i think she has a low chance that this will work.
If no -> Probably the drivers are damaged?!? The system recognizes a usb device. Try a reinstall...
If she doesn't even hear a sound from her computer its something with the phone that probably only gets charged due to voltage on the usb port...
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA

Even i face this problem in MIUI. USB storage works occasionally for me. When it worked i had transferred CM7 rom.
USB works in CM7 but not in MIUI for me. So it isnt any driver problem on the pc.

when i do 'adb devices', it shows my device in recovery
when i do 'flashboot devices' it doesn't show my device at all
when i try to 'flashboot flash recovery recovery.img' it is stuck on waiting for device.
there's no external SD card yet, but I have a spare one which I tried
I put the recovery.img in a 'newzip.zip' and put the SD card into my tablet, and then tried to install the update from the .zip, but it said 'installation aborted'

OK, reflash your stock firmware using live suite. You can get your Micromax P255 stock rom from this link- can't provide link because i am a new memberjust google android 4.0.4 stock rom for micromax funbbok p255.Then click the first link . Scroll down to the bottom and you will see the Mcromax P255 rom . Just download it.You get A zip File. Open it .It contains Live suite and the rom. how to use Live Suite ? Google it .
I had this problem.Fixed it yesterday using this method

This..is a common type of error with the micromax devices with cwm...which often results into imperfect flash.
Your device might be going in boot loop...
Solution;
Open the flashing software(i hope you would be using spreadtrum flashing software;Research Downloader) you are using open the stock image(To find yours google"Micromax all Stock Roms")
Connect your device randomly between vibration ...
You will observe that your computer will load the drivers then suddenly your phone will reboot
Identify the time driver loads ...
Run the system flash software though drivers aren't identified ...
Hold on the flash key(look up on google each set has different pattern) pattern of your phone and plug in cable(iam assuming that usb cable can be used to flash many other standard cable are used i had to cut the supply wire for mine to mske it flashable) at random times it will work.
PRESS THANKS If I was of any help.
