Cwn - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

quick question, I see in cwm under mounts and storage you can format /system. If I do that would I lose cwm while i'm in it? I'm figuring I would just have to reflash but I don't want to do it and be sol. Just looking for some reassurance.

The recovery file on Froyo is located in /system/bin. On my Gingerbread ROM it's found under /sbin. I believe it needs supporting files, though, so even though it's in /sbin on GB I can't say whether you'd be hosed or not.
Regardless, why would you want to format /system anyway? You might as well just flash a new ROM, eh?

/scratches head...why would you want to do that? I don't think you would lose CWM but I do know that doing a data wipe would probably be potentially less destructive if you are having issues and you definitely would not lose CWM.

Cwm recovery not sucking?

Ya I downloaded it and everything and tried different ways and it wont let restore, just says md5 sums mismatched tried 2 sdcards and downloading them in root of sd card and directly in the CWM/restore folder. still a no go, but I can restore other backups and flsh roms. just not the one i need.
Probably won't get to it till thursday or so, but im going to try and go back to completely stock, reroot, reflash cwr, flash cm7. Otherwise im getting a replacement...
Ps
The dl posted in another thread for me failed as well. I also had an intense the other day where all my partitions were completely wiped. It took 3 hours to finally get nv flash to flash cwr and flash a rom.

And I borked some lib files trying to get the camcorder to work. So I installed the kanged version update-cm-7.1.0-RC0-G2x-KANG-signed.zip overtop of my build to get the rom to boot again, and now the camcorder works! Maybe only about 15fps but works nonetheless...

Questions about Odin,Roms,and CWM.

I was just thinking everyone is bummed about not having a full working cwm to do a full restore. But when u screw up its Odin to the call. right? I just don't see why we need full CWM when we can use Odin if we mess up. As far as getting things back to normal (setting,icons,wallpapers,etc.) U can use advanced restore to put everything back the way it was before the flash but still keep the effects of new kernels and roms. So i ask this why all the fuss? Also maybe someone could elaborate on the mount issue. Is it only when you try to do a full restore Or flash certain Roms? Oh yea and this is a noob asking.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
It's mostly a question of convenience. If we get a fully functioning cwm it can be directly booted in to replacing the stock recovery. More importantly it can be incorporated into Rom Manager which makes lots of things easier and more standardized. Things like flashing roms and kernels or restoring backups and making fixes would be much easier and all right there in rom manager/cwm.
As far as Odin/heimdal goes yes that works for installing roms, restoring from soft bricks, etc. but is no substitute for a nandroid backup/restore which is great for reverting to a former configurations fully and easily after trying out new roms, kernels, etc.
There are other reasons it would be great to have a finished cwm but what we have now is not that bad since it can do most of the important things we need.
I am still interested in what I hear that people are restoring full nandroid backups successfully. The official word is that its not unmounting properly during format function in a restore, at least that's what I understand. If full restore is actually working as some are claiming then I'm not sure what is actually left undone.

Advanced restore lets you restore just not full restore. It gives you the option to restore system,data,ect one at a time. However I have not tried to restore system just data. Like I said before couldn't full restore due to mounting issue. Also I think nandroid backup is just another term for a full backup of basicly the exact state of the phone at the time back up is done. If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Ah so it sounds like there is still a mounting related error after all. And yes you got it about right. A full nandroid restore basically brings your phone back to 100% exactly the state it was in when you backed it up.

Let's clear up the confusion...
As I posted on the Wiki, I have successfully done a Nandroid backup and a Nandroid restore... In both cases the "system" was identified as being backed up (or restored).
I have repeated this several times, the most recent being this morning. But, in an effort to not dispute krylon360, I've posted a targeted question to him in his thread announcing CWM3.0.2.8Beta.
I am hopeful of his response!
I was just wondering cause it works for me all the time and I thought it was working for everybody.

restore definitely works on cwm.... u all r kinda being wild... there are already threads on this... look at the development thread for clockworkmod... comparing odin to cwm psshhh
Nothing wrong with odin. Nothing wrong with cwm. I have been backing up and restoring with cwm for a while now. Still don't know if it's a true "nandroid" backup but it restores everything but my lock screen wallpaper. Everytime without fail. So good that I have not had to use odin or titanium. I'm even sure I could odin at this point and get all of it back through cwm. Follow the steps for setting it up you should be fine. I'm running whites KD1 and have been since it came out.(**** I might have to Odin now just to check it out) How do you use Odin again?

I was confused so I rebooted hoping that would fix the issue but it just moved it to 5%.

Sorry man, but there's no real fix for this. The G2x is defective like that.
I've tried them all, and it happens on all ROM's/kernels.
But if you go to settings>applications>development, select the "Stay Awake" option.
After checking that it never happens to me anymore. But that down part is that when you charge your phone you have to manually lock it. In other words, you can't just leave your phone idle while the screen is on. Otherwise it'll stay on the whole time. So just lock it every time you plug it in to charge.

Try flashing a kernel that allows undervolting and do the opposite, ADD +25mv or +50mv across the board and see if that helps with the reboots and freezing.

it seems like your using an older version of CWM
if you want try updating to the newest, just do a search for it in the android development section. flash it using NVflash.
that way if you need to use it later for something you can access both internal and external at the same time

File bricked my phone.
I feel so damn dumb! The flash-recovery.sh file for linux isnt missing a file. Its not named properly. The bash script looks for cwm-su660.img but it is named recovery-p999-5.0.2.8.img So the flasher cant find it and shows an error. This will cause problems and brick your phone like it did mine!
I renamed the file and it flashed properly but CWM is the same version and not updated.
Here is a working CWM v5.0.2.7 i made. I took my old CWM and found a working up-to-date CWM image and tweaked the file http://www.4shared.com/zip/9h4mmcSp/nvflash-CWM_Recovery-5027.html
I am now rocking the new CWM its so much better! I can install zips from internal and external storage just like Klathmon said.

Not sure why people always ask there (somewhat unrelated) questions in other people threads...makes it harder to find the help you need cause people assume the only question asked is what's in the title...so by scrolling through threads I would never guess someone asked about heimdall problems, id assume it was strictly about erasing data on the phone...two unrelated things -atleast post your question in a thread that is about heindall problems or when heimdall goes bad...etc
Anyways...what heimdall did you use? Try running it again, don't close it when it finishes, check the box for bootloader and the do it once more (again don't close the program after the first heimdall flash...leave ot open)

Well. I did have red recovery when I was wiping, then I started messing with flashing new roms and ended up soft bricking my phone. I had the sim card problem before, which led me to wiping and re-partitioning the sd card then using heimdal to get stock back on. I just need to know what I can do to try and figure out what is causing the problem. I was running Aeon with red recovery. I didn't care for it. I had more problems than I wanted.

Use the ROM for recovery or cleanup batch. Make sure to backup data from internal SD card.

That is odd. Nvflash is the savior of this device. Can you confirm that you have a P999 and not a P990? Look below the battery inside the battery door.
I would have a $500 brick if it weren't for nvflash. Thanks Nvidia!
Yes I have the P999 Version, the P990 is the regular 2X model.

Try my tool, wiping all EXCEPT boot. Then try installing a ROM, and not the one which quit on you.
If that doesn't work, try using Mansa_noob's tool. Followed by flashing a ROM.

Use the ROM for recovery or cleanup batch. Make sure to backup data from internal SD card.
Another ROM from CWM should work though. Make sure to wipe data and cache.

I've tried that as well. NV Flash didn't work either, I'll work on it some more in the morning. Thanks for more feedback of course.

It looks like that was tried and didn't work.
Any update from my earlier suggestion?

Nope, still nothing. I have all the drivers installed on my computer but it doesn't seem to want to detect the device. How odd..

No issues at all. APX shows up but the S/W upgrade doesn't show up.. My HTC One came today so I'm not too concerned about it anymore, though it'd be nice to have a backup phone.
try this. know where it says LEAVE THE BATTERY OUT? f**k that. take the battery out, BUT when it recognizes the phone put it back in then run the flash.bat I sent you

Funny thing is that I've tried that but every time I run it, it opens and closes right away.
after it was recognized? did you try to start the .bat then put the battery in as well?

If it opens and closes right away then the phone is NOT connected in APX mode.
Does it show up in the USB list as APX device?
