Please help I am having trouble using nandroid backups using CWM ver 5 "blue text & banana" I can create a backup fine but when I boot into CWM and try to do a restore it fails telling me it cant mount the system. I know it is something I am doing wrong but am a newbie to the charge and want to learn to do it right.
My system is running stock ROM E4D that I removed some of the stock junk from and also running the newest pbj kernal.
Please can someone help tell me what I am missing. I have had to do this twice and both times had to revert the phone back to stock and start over from scratch.
Thanks
Rod
In CWM, go to advanced, mounts and storage, then mount system. Then go try your nandroid.

Thanks for the reply but did that and it gave me the same error . But I give it another shot I could have fat fingered it

This is why I exclusively run the 0817 CWM. Had the same issue with the 1209 release. What I suggest is using 7-zip or something similar to extract the tar files from the backup, placing them on the SD card, then manually reinserting them. You can get the older "yellow" CWM here for future reference.

Thanks Much
I just started restoring the phone again to stock after it failed again and I will just put the 817 on and give it a try.
Thanks
(UPDATE) Thanks very much, it was the version of CWM I was using. once I installed the version you told me about I was successfully able to create and then restore a good backup. I appreciate the help, this was driving me crazy....

hi Guys,
Quick question about my galaxy R
i have a 32 gb card installed in my phone, when i look in storage tab within task manager it says below:
System Storage: 1.97 GB
USB Storage: 3.75 GB
SD Card : 29.70 GB
so when i install a big game (600+ mb) & say move to SD card it is moved to "USB Storage", this restricts me by installing limited games although i have lots of free space on my sd card.
Can anyone pls tell me how do i moce it to SD Card?

oh sorry my bad...
i did extract & select the .tar file (and not apk) within the zip that i downloaded, trust me man i read that guide like 5 times before doing it.
also when it failed for the first time, i re-downloaded the file & retried the whole process but no luck
i had loaded cfw on my psp earlier which worked perfectly but i'm really struggling with this
Please check the file you have donwloaded is not corrupted or broken. If still persisting with the same issue, you can try CWM 5 by Adam77Root.
CWM 5
Procedure is same. But use this CWM tar file in Odin instead of the one you tried earlier.:fingers-crossed:

Try it buddy and after downloading the .tar file, try to open it with winrar, if it says file couldnot b opened or corrupted, then diwnload it again. Sometimes our internet connection stops in between downloading and hence file become corrupted. Try it and its not recovery mode its downloading mode..

Hello people,
I am proud to present CWM recovery v5.8.0.2 for the FLEX!
THIS IS NOT UPDATED FOR JELLYBEAN!!..yet
UPDATED support for either internal or external sd
THE ACTUAL CONTENTS OF THE INTERNAL SDCARD ARE LOCATED IN THE /data/media FOLDER ON THE PHONE SO YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE /media FOLDER TO GET YOUR INTERNAL SDCARD's ZIP FILES AND STUFF WHEN CHOOSING INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD. ALSO THE BACKUPS YOU MAKE WILL BE STORED IN THE /data/clockworkmod/blahblah FOLDER ON THE PHONE SO I RECOMMEND YOU BUY AN EXTERNAL SD CARD BUT ITS JUST WHATEVVS.
Alright you will need a few things before you can install.
1. Rooted Pantech Flex P8010 (oscar)
2. Computer
3. Basic knowlege of adb/fastboot
4. ADB/Fastboot
READ ME (Disclaimer)
WARNING: THIS VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY
I am not responsible for you bricking your phone or anything that you do to your phone e.g. flash wrong zips , drop it in coke ect.
INSTRUCTIONS
Get a file manager such as Root Explorer and delete the FILE in the /system folder called "recovery_from_boot.p". Get the signed zip file for your desired sdcard mount point (either internal or external sd), and put it in your /external_sd or /sdcard folder. Download and put the .img file (also corresponding to the desired mount point for your sdcard) in adb folder and rename it boot.img. Then put the phone into fastboot mode (google it).
Type:
fastboot boot boot.img
And CWM recovery will pop up after a few seconds. Then choose install zip from sdcard and browse to the CWM_flex-P8010.zip and install it. Then reboot into recovery again and YAY! nandroid time :good:
BIG HUGE thanks to atadres for helping me along the way and also making the flashable zip :highfive:
Score dude! Team flex has such a bright future with these devs. Glad I could help
Bravo Timmy!
Timmy after playing around with,it ive,noticed its not able to browse internal sd,card only external,but thats a,minor issue no biggie,really
Yea I will try to add support for internal sd.

If you get the update forcefully, just reroot the phone using the previous method then install the recovery. That is what I just did and it worked for me. Syncing git repos as we speak
@timmythanoob please share how you did it....for knowledge's sake
I used a pantech burst cwm recovery and made it compatible with the flex (recovery.fstab, init.rc,) and I also used a /sbin/recovery file from an atrix 4g to get the resolution right for our screen (qHD).

guys can anyone try and see if this flashable zip roots your device.
superuser.
an alternative is the zip attached
these shouldn't increase the binary counter but you never know(if binary counter is more than 0 your warranty is void).
so consider yourself warned.
enter recovery mode I think its vol down + home + power key.
then choose install zip via external sd card
done you should be rooted but since i dont possess this device I dont know.
I used framaroot. works perfectly. ..use it people. Anyone know of 4.2 upgrade? ?
the details about my device is attached please see and let me know how to root because I'm unable to access the sdcard in the android recovery that's why please upload a flashable zip which I can flash using Odin
@Dark Passenger its not working its saying "signature verification failure "

did you have an external sd card...?
and you mean to say the only option rregarding sdcard was install via sdcard no install via external sdcard.
because sometimes there are problems with using adb sideloading.
still try this via sdcard install only.
if this doesnt work might have to see with a device only.

Steps for flashing a .img file to a specific partition ( here, recovery ) :
Here are the two methods :
1st Method ( Using ADB ) -- This needs the phone to be connected to the computer.
Go to the folder containing the recovery.img file you just downloaded.
Shift + Right Click on any empty space in the folder and Select Open Command Window Here
Connect the phone to the computer and make sure you have USB Debugging enabled and not USB Storage
Type these into the Command Window :
adb devices -- This should show the Device attached as KarbonnTitaniumS5Plus-xxxx or any such line.
adb get-state -- This is to ensure USB Debugging works. It will show device, recovery or offline, but here, we would be looking for device
adb reboot bootloader -- This reboots the device into Fastboot mode, also called as HBOOT or Bootloader. This mode is necessary for flashing the recovery.img file
fastboot oem unlock -- This is to ensure that you can flash xxxx.img files to specific partitions of the device.
fastboot flash <<partitionname>> <<nameofrecoveryimagefile.img>> -- This flashes the specific partition image file to the specified partition. Here, we would be looking for something like fastboot flash recovery philzrecoverys5plus.img for the PhilZ Touch Recovery and fastboot flash recovery twrprecovery.img for the TWRP Recovery and fastboot flash recovery cwmrecoverys5plus.img for the.... Well, you understand what I mean. This should show some text on the device like Transferring Flash or Writing Flash and the Time and Speed of it, that would confirm your flashing.
fastboot reboot -- This command reboots the device into the normal system, and lo, you're ready to go !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
From here, you can reboot to recovery and back again without any issues. This is the tried and tested method, the method which worked perfectly when I tried it on my device. Else, if you have no patience for connecting the Phone to the PC, jabbing on the keyboard and entering n number of commands, you could try this out :
2nd Method ( Using Terminal Emulator ) -- This doesn't need the phone to be connected to the computer.
Place the recovery.img file in the Internal Storage or External SD Card -- Here, I'm placing it as in storage/sdcard0/xxxxrecovery.img
Install Terminal Emulator or any such app onto the phone and Open it.
Type these commands one by one :
su -- This gives root permissions to the Command Executor.
flash_image recovery /storage/sdcard0/xxxxrecovery.img -- This flashes the recovery image file to the recovery partition.
Close the Terminal Window.
Done !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Another Note : If you're following the Second ( Terminal Emulator ) Method, note that there is a space between flash_image and recovery and the path of the image file. The first method is the preferred one, which worked perfectly with no errors for me; while the second method is risky and might return some errors while trying it out.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Another Loooooong Shortened Note : The TWRP Recovery might, in some rare cases, show your battery level as 19% when it is at 99% and the same goes for the others. If you are encountering this error damn frequently, I'd recommend reverting back to the original CWM basic recovery as it doesn't show any battery info at all ! You also have the option of wiping your Battery Statistics in case the Battery Error in the Touch Recoveries made the system too show the same error. Once, after fully charging the phone to 100% and rebooting to recovery, I found that the TWRP recovery showed the battery level at 19% ! Out of curiosity, I rebooted back to the system and it too, showed it at 19% ! I just plugged it into the charger and was like Whoa !, as the battery sprang from 19% to 24% in 7 seconds flat ! I know that neither the reboot to recovery does drain out that much battery, nor does the recovery randomly perform such miracles on it. So, I just flashed CWM basic recovery to it using fastboot mode, opened it, did a Battery Stats wipe and rebooted to the System. It was back to 99% ! So, a full Battery Statistics wipe helped me solve such errors, and might do the same to you too. Just remove the battery from the phone after you power off from the recovery, put it back in, and let the phone start up. Problem Solved ! Damn, why didn't I think of this earlier ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yet Another Short-But-Not-So-Short Note : I'd recommend disabling the Boot Animation on the phone ( using ROM Toolbox Lite or Pro ) so that the possibility of bootloops is diminished. No Boot Animation = Less Chance of Bootloops !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
One Last Note : ( Yeah, Right. )
The MIUI ROM and the Sony Xperia v2 ROM work properly. For people who have boot issues, doing a full data wipe/factory reset through the recovery will solve that problem... MIUI is pre rooted, but chainfire's SuperSU app is not installed and there is no keyboard app. The Sony Xperia v2 ROM has SuperSU installed and works properly. However, a high amount of patience is needed to wait for the ROMs to boot up...
As mentioned by cybercrawler, the internal/external swap supposedly works, and appears to be already applied in these ROMs... so, if you are going to flash a new ROM, you had better undo this change...
The clockworkmod recovery file works too, as seen in the screenshots uploaded by cybercrawler... thanks to him for testing that out.
I shall be uploading some screenshots of these in a few days. Both the ROMs run Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2, and the MIUI ROM has a update scheduler app, so I'm guessing it can be updated to 4.4 Kitkat. Anyway... if anybody knows how to bypass Dropbox Error 509 ( This account's public links are generating too much traffic and are temporarily disabled ), please download the Xperia Z v1 ROM and upload it to Google Drive...
Check this thread for further development on this device.
If anybody is willing to volunteer to try a ROM still in development for this device, you can download it here :
https://tr.im/CarbonForKarbonnv1
It is NOT READY FOR FLASHING, but is a Kitkat ROM, so anybody willing to put in their efforts in the development of this ROM can help.

Note : The above posted links for ROMs are not tried and tested ! Be Careful !
For some of the ROM downloads, you need to log into the respective sites...
Thanks mainly to the thunderboys team and all other developers of the respective ROMs whom I haven't mentioned.
SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex files:

One Last Note : ( Yeah, Right. )
The MIUI ROM and the Sony Xperia v2 ROM work properly. For people who have boot issues, doing a full data wipe/factory reset through the recovery will solve that problem... MIUI is pre rooted, but chainfire's SuperSU app is not installed and there is no keyboard app. The Sony Xperia v2 ROM has SuperSU installed and works properly. However, a high amount of patience is needed to wait for the ROMs to boot up...
As mentioned by cybercrawler, the internal/external swap supposedly works, and appears to be already applied in these ROMs... so, if you are going to flash a new ROM, you had better undo this change...
The clockworkmod recovery file works too, as seen in the screenshots uploaded by cybercrawler... thanks to him for testing that out.
I shall be uploading some screenshots of these in a few days. Both the ROMs run Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2, and the MIUI ROM has a update scheduler app, so I'm guessing it can be updated to 4.4 Kitkat. Anyway... if anybody knows how to bypass Dropbox Error 509 ( This account's public links are generating too much traffic and are temporarily disabled ), please download the Xperia Z v1 ROM and upload it to Google Drive...
By the way, I'll be uploading links to some must-have apps for a custom ROM user within a few days. Check this thread for further development on this device.

Yes and No.
No, as it isn't included in the device's features and comes with no otg cable.
Yes, if you buy a third party USB OTG cable and install chainfire's stickmount app.
Here's the link to the app :

Still working on the Carbon ROM... May take a few more days to create a working,booting ROM !!!
( Creating a new update binary file now, old one wasn't working. )
Anyway, after this and the flashable stock rom zip file, i'll be porting miui 6 to this device !
After that, maybe, I was thinking of an Android L ROM for this device...
Anyway, Back to Project CarbonForKarbonn for now...
Could anyone upload the specifications of moto g (codename falcon) in a post here ?
I need to know it's features and some information abt. it, like whether it supports dual sim, has external sd card support, etc.
so that I could rectify any problems which are occuring because of such non-compatibility errors.
Looooooong schedule... this might take forever...

You need to have ADB and Fastboot tools and the recovery file in the same folder.
Connect the device to the computer, open USB Debugging in Android, open a command window in the folder with adb and twrprecovery.img image ( Shift + Right Click ), and type these commands in it :
adb root -- Don't worry if this shows any error like adbd cannot run as root in production builds. Just proceed with the next step.
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrprecovery.img -- This will automatically format that partition and install the recovery image to it.
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
Done !
Anyway... Building the final parts of the Carbon Nightly ROM, also simultaneously working on MIUI 6 for this device.
Stock ROM build is happening... Just have to generate the updater-script and the update binary.
Status of Each Build :
Carbon ROM : Needs a new Update Binary, creating it, coding it.
TWRP Recovery : Done !
MIUI 6 : Downloading the latest release version. Porting and Update Binary and Updater Script pending.
Stock Flashable Zip : Creating all Update files from scratch, system folder is ready, deodexing pending, App updates pending.
Xperia v3 : Boot Animation Build Progressing, Updating all stock Google apps, Adding Xposed Framework, etc.
Android L ROM : Waiting for a Stable Android L ROM to be released here, still no progress.
Here are the basic mount points of this device which I accidentally discovered while messing about in the Stock ROM :
system : [email protected] : dev/block/mmcblk0p8 -- This is for the System folder, has ext4 partition type
data : [email protected] : dev/block/mmcblk0p10 -- This is for the Data folder, has ext4 partition type
cache : [email protected] : dev/block/mmcblk0p9 -- This is for the Cache folder, has ext4 partition type
Hope it helps !
Which do you think is better : External SD Card as Main Storage or Internal SD Card as Main Storage ?
Anybody can reply by posting here.
This question is for the Carbon ROM and the Stock Flashable Zip ROM.
I felt I should ask you this question as I felt that Internal SD Card has way too less storage for me, but my decision cannot be everybody's decision, can it ?. ( I have 180+ Apps on this device, all linked to SD Card ( 32 gb, ~1.5 gb free space remaining ) ).

Is there any way to change the on-screen soft keys to look them like that of Nexus 5 lollipop soft keys.They look really cool and other thing is the transparency of the on screen buttons.It would be great if you made this above mod in the new ROM

Yeah, I'm working on that. You know that camera you have in other Xperia devices with all that Timescape feature and everything ? I'm adding that to the updated version of this ROM. But, the ROM will still be based on Android Jellybean 4.2.2. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about that because, if I change the base OS, I'll have to rebuild all the apps from scratch to fit alongside the new permissions and all that stuff, which will take off most of my time.
I'll consider your decision about the Main Storage, but there's one drawback about using it that way. You won't be able to remove your SD Card or unmount it while the OS is on. If that's okay with you, please reply. Anyway, if you want to change it afterwards, you can do so by the vold.fstab edit which cybercrawler had mentioned here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55154053&postcount=31
Thanks for your opinion, by the way !
