CWM Recovery

OK so we know the bionics bootstrap recovery doesn't work. I was messing around with Rom manager and flashed the bionics recovery and was successful. Recovery version 5.0.2.5. Then I booted into recovery from Rom manager and performed a successful backup! Gonna hold out on flashing the backup right now but I'm hoping someone that knows a lot more then me will look into this also and see what they think about it and can we possibly use everything without fearing a bricked device .

i successfully created a backup using the bionic bootstrap recovery, but im leery of trying to do a restore without having an sbf handy

Well I got brave and clicked the restore button using the bionic bootstrap recovery. I have 20+ days left to return the phone if anything went wrong. I backed up using the recovery, then clicked restore. Everything restored perfectly. I did not choose wipe data though, as I didn't think it would matter. Just thought I would add that bit of information. Hope this helps guys.

I just used CWM 5.0.2.5 to restore the system backup I made before updating, and indeed it worked fine. I'm back down to 55.11.16 android 2.3.5 (from 55.13.16 - 2.3.6) with seemingly no ill effects. IIRC, I made this system image with the bionic bootstrap recovery app.

Im still on 55.11.16 android 2.3.5 also, I know using Rom manager to make a backup took a lot longer then what I was used to on my OG. Just went through a restore with no seemingly ill effects. Has anyone tried flashing a zip yet? Just glad we seemingly have a recovery that is working.

my vivid will be here in the next day or 2. once i have that, i will risk the Atrix2 and start working on a rom.

Oh no Pirate your switching over to the HTC Vivid? I have been looking at the reviews on that device and it looks as thick as my A2 with the defender otterbox. I'm going to kick my cat if people start abandoning ship on the A2, bummer!
Awesome work on getting CWM to backup and restore. I would love to see some custom roms being dumped onto this device.
Nice! Recovery loads up smoothly on rom manager. This could get interesting...

If your bootloader is not unlocked be very careful as to what you flash!
Try a theme or something that does not affect kernals,
Just my thoughts

Thanks for the heads up!!

I'm unable to reapply the patch up to 55.13.15
Code:
contents of partition "boot" didn't match MTD:boot:8388608:9651a551679347926bb7589bb4b57d8dea357cb4:8388608:b56beaeb976b10b86cdbd38e87024ab16fe1197f
I've supposedly restored the boot partition with cwm, oh well.
This is probably to be expected. I'm guessing I can only get the stock boot partition back with a proper fxz flash to stock...
edit: I don't think cwm is even saving a boot image. I don't see one in any of my backups.
Makes me wonder what it's doing when I restore boot

Just because I'm willing to try things doesn't mean I'm willing to knowingly brick my phone.
Thanks PG!!

Oddly enough it was the Bionic recovery installed from Mod Manager is what I had installed when I bricked my phone.

No. I built several zip files to flash and cwm nor the bionic bootstrap worked.
I think we may have to wait for the official cwm release, with our device in it.

New ROM

Whenever i try to flash a new ROM it doesn't want to load. I've tried the CM7 nightlies and the pheonix ROM. This is what I do.
I root my phone via one click root.
Install clockwork recovery via app.
wipe
install ROM via recovery (install zip)
start up
Locks at LG screen. Ugh!
Any advice?

This is a must for the g2x. If you use from manager it only fake flashes clockwork mod recovery and makes you unable to flash roms.
Typical way to achieve root on the g2x is to.
1. Nvflash cwm
2. Create a nandroid backup.
3. Flash a rom that has root.
Don't bother with rom manager or super one click.

Just as a quick question. Does wiping the system, wipe ANY of my data? Like does it only wipe the existing ROM? Ive been confused of it since the first time i flashed a ROM

Thanks, I'll give it a shot and get back to you. I don't think it had to do with the wipe as I always ran a wipe script before installing. I thought it had to do with the kernel.... (don't have a clue though)
I'll flash the clockwork via nvflash, and get back to you, thanks.
EDIT:
IT WORKS. NVFlash the recovery, make sure to change the command if you have a different version you plan to flash/

you definitely want to do that. do you have a nandoid backup of your original system? if your phone breaks, that is the only way to revert it back to original for an exchange (unless ofcourse you take a hammer to it).

Yeah. I have a Stock froyo backup.

I think so. Catch is that I don't know if doing that will actually update anything, the whole problem is that ROM manager doesn't flash it properly/to the right place. The only thing to do is make a nandroid and try it out and if ti doesn't work, then reflash with NV flash and you're good.

Boot loop after flashing any custom ROM

All of a sudden yesterday my phone started boot looping while I was running Invisiblek's CM10. I finally got that sorted out, and used ODIN to get me to the rooted version of the stock ROM. However, now when I flash custom ROMs, I get a boot loop and have to restore back to the rooted version of stock. I've tried Invisiblek's CM10 again, Bean's... oh, and my CWM background is missing and is just black. I've also noticed(not sure if this could be why) that when I go to the mount section under CWM, both system and data keep defaulting to unmounted. Any suggestions?

Yes, do that again. Boot into Download mode(Batt pull to turn the phone off) then hold vol down+home+power till the prompt comes up.
Flash the root66 image using Odin from there.

I can just flash 66 as is? Don't have to flash a stock unrooted version first like you do when you brick?
Do you have any idea why this could have happened? I did everything it said on the page and even watched an installation video for the ROM following every step by step instruction. What the hell does formatting system, data, and cache do in recovery? Never had done it before and as soon as I did my phone just messed up. Also, if I flash 66 using odin will my old backups work again?

I'm guessing there was a bad download and sadly your nandroid might have been corrupted.

Cool thanks. Flashing 66 now through odin. My backups have worked fine before (the exact same ones that just failed). Once this is finished and I test out my backups (assuming they work) how should I go about reflashing JellyWiz? Should I format the system, data, cache again or just do the normal wipes? I'm afraid formatting will mess it up again. Is CWM inferior to TWRP? Thinking about using a different recovery after all of this.

I personally use cwm and to me it's more a matter of preference. I too have had a error restoring backups once and it was after a system wipe. A word of advice, because this saved me, keep a ROM on your SD card at all times to be able to just flash in an emergency.

I think you missed my point, at this point he needs Odin. However, if you keep a zip on your SD card then if your backups gasp like his situation he can just fish that zip. It was simply some advice for future reference, were not all next to a computer ask the time. For people like me that just get an urge to flash it helps to have backups like this.

in order to flash jellywiz i had to do the following or else i bootlooped:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe dalvik cache
format system
flash rom
booted up flawless.
i also used this methid for paranoid android...i will probably update my guide with this. unfortunately i cant give any info on what formatting system is actually doing. never had to do this before??

I don't know why they are suggesting it but it doesn't do anything beyond the normal factory reset and then the zip formatting system itself.
Its just the manual way of doing what a clean flash does.

Why are people having issues restoring nandroids after doing this? Apparently bootlooping occurs after format/jb install/restore previous nandroid.

if im not mistaken formatting the system deletes the rom/kernel itself...normal factory reset from cwm recovery only deletes rom data/cache.

i wonder why i had to format system to get the latest jellywiz rom to not hang on galaxy s splash screen? it makes no sense.

Also, how does a format not erase your nandroids? It should also wipe titanium backups if they are not on your external. Am I wrong on that? Could formatting lose certain bits of info that the nandroid may not have partitioned, and that's why the restores are not working correctly?

[Q] Trying to Flash MiUi, Can't Open (bad file)

So, I finally decided to take the leap into custom ROMs with MiUi (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879064). I got Darksides Super Wipe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955) as the instructions listed.
I followed the instructions to the T: I did a back up, I flashed Darkside, then I flashed MiUi. Everything worked until I tried to flash MiUi and all I got was E:Can't open /sdcard/MIUI...... (bad) Installation aborted. I tried to flash my backup through CWM on my external SD and that also isn't working. I have no idea what to do and I'm terrified my battery is going to run out and I'm going to be SOL.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I actually just figured out how to fix it, I guess I jumped the gun on coming to the forums. I guess I'd rather just look dumb and have an answer than wait for my battery to go from 44-0
I was just doing what they said to do on the instructions. Doesn't it basically just reset to factory default/wipe cache?
I want to try again, but I don't know where I went wrong the first time. Should I not have put it on my external SD card?

No one has used darkside wipe for a long time. I don't see anywhere in the instructions where it says to use that script.
External sd is the best place to put it. Make sure it's on the root of the sd card though.

Okay, I boot to recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and then install zip from SDcard>choose zip from SDcard>MiUi.... at this point I get the error so I just have to go to backup and restore from backup.
I'll try that when I get home from work today, but I tried it earlier with the older version of CWRM and still got the same notification. Maybe the update will change that.
