[Q] [Solved] Problem with Nandroid backup not working [noob] - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm having a succesfully rooted LG Optimus One, P500 phone. Stock GB 2.3.3 (rooted). Stock Kernel. [Yeah..noob ]
I flashed a custom recovery using the "Flash Image GUI" app (given here under sticky, Step 2. b). The flashing was successful and I was able to enter recovery mode successfully using adb shell (reboot recovery).
The problem is I can't take any Nandroid backups.
1) When I try to create any backup it gives the "Oops. . . something went wrong!
Please check the recovery log!" message.
2) So I try to use Others> Move recovery log to SD card and again get the same message
3) I tried using SD-Card option so that I can use the SD card using my PC. However, only the drive shows up (0 size).
I've tried the following custom recoveries and had the same problem in all of them:
- AmonRa (from above sticky link)
- Thunderg (3.0.6 from their official location here)
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here and How I can access the recovery.log?
Edit1:
I've installed Thunderg 2.2.1 now. I am now able to create Nandroid backups on my SD card. However, restore still gives the same error..
Tried with boot, system only and even that failed to restore..It gives the same message "oops....something went wrong. Please check the recovery log"

Make sure to check if the root was actually successful with a app like root checker basic. There are some instances where I have seen a root process say it has been successful but when I check for root access it actually was not granted.

Hi lord_nathan9, Thanks for replying. I'm quite positive that I have root access. I checked the root access in the following ways:
Using the Root Checker app (+ve)
While installing Titanium Backup (was able to move Handcent SMS to external card successfully)
Installing BusyBox (it required the root access) - message flashed that it was granted
using the "su" command on the adb shell. A message flashed on the phone that permission was granted and I got the # symbol showing up
When I open the SuperUser app it doesnt show me any problems either. So I'm positive that I've got root access..

Can you back up the sd card to your pc and try reformatting it in recovery?

Sure thing. So the steps would be as follows?
1. Connect phone to PC with USB
2. Copy everything from SD card
3. Reboot to recovery mode
4. Format SD card
5. Start phone
6. Copy everything back to SD card???
7. Check whether everything is working fine..

Between steps 4 and 5, try making a nandroid.

I've installed Thunderg 2.2.1 recovery (updated my 1st post). I'm now able to create Nandroid backups. However, restore is still failing with the same oops error message. Should I still try out this wiping SD card thing?

Couldn't hurt, as long as you back it up first.

Okay. I'm going to try it out and post an update whenever it gets done.
Edit:
Tried the option "others> wipe SD Card".
Created a Nandroid Backup (got created)
Tried a restore (same oops error)

Is there an option to format, instead of wiping? If not, can you format it with a card reader and your pc?

Unfortunately there is no other option besides wipe. However, I noticed something suspicious about the "Mount" setting. It has the following options:
Mount /system
Unmount /cache <--- No idea whether this is normal or not
Mount /data
Mount /sd-ext
Mount /sdcard
Should I try to unmount the cache and then try restoring the Nandroid backup or what?

Thanks a lot for your help upconvert. I have found the solution finally! This whole investigation took me an entire day but finally the restore is working!..
TWR custom recovery is working for me when others are failing and giving me all kinds of weird errors. I found the solution in this link here.
Any idea how to mark this thread as answered?

Just go to your original post and edit the title. Glad it worked out!

Can't access SD card, halp!

Hi everyone, looking for a little guidance.
Phone: Android G1 (Rogers Canada Dream) running Cyanogen 4.2.15.1, been running fine since 4.2.6.1
Removed SD card while it was on and it rebooted... when it restarted it showed no applications and said the SD card was inaccessible and required a format. After rebooting a few times with no success I bit the bullet and formatted it... all apps are gone except for the ones that are on that image for Cyanogen. I have no market app to download new apps and when I plug it into my PC and mount it I don't see it show up as a drive like it did so I have no way to get the apps back on.
Has anyone had this happen before? Phone still works but I need to get it back to a state where I can get access to the SD and install the market... Any suggestions appreciated!!
There is a thread on the HERO section of Modaco site called "no adb, no sd". I think the 1st post on the last page MIGHT help. There are adb commands you can run to see if the phone has randomly stopped accessing the SD. Worth a shot.
PM me if you have trouble finding the thread n I'll have a look when I'm at my laptop.

I misunderstood I think.
So it is now showing an sd present? Have you tried formatting in a pc?
Tried reboot without the sd in, then insert once fully booted again?

I remove the SD Card, formatted it in my PC put it back in the phone and I can store pics and vids on it and access them but cant see or access it from the PC when in the phone. I also have no file browser so I cant install any apps or even access the market icon is gone).

Hi there! I had posted on the forum with the G1 issue where my SD card seemed to have died.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738105
I have since removed the SD card and reformatted it, I can store pics and vids and replay them so the card is fine. I tried letting it boot up then adding the SD card when booted, that caused it to reboot, same issue...
Not having access to the card, I cant install any apps or browse the SD to install from there... really sucks
I'd be willing to blow it away and restart too and install CyanogenMod-5.0.8 but I need some guidance.

I got your message pal....
Ok,.... So pictures and videos taken with your phone camera DO save to your SD?.... and you CAN access them on your phone OR if you put your SD into your PC/Lappy?... But not when trying to "mount SD"?
Or have I got that completely wrong?.... Did you put pics&vids onto it through your PC, and thats the only access you get to it?

Pics taken DO save to me SD. I Can access them from a PC is I remove the SD and put it in the PC. Not when I plug the phone in via USB then tell it to mount.
I just did a low level format, same issue.
UPDATE: Just tried the Android System Recovery and Toggle USB-MS and it shows on my laptop now! Going to try the recovery backup now.
aha,... so its just a mounting issue, not that the hardware has turned itself off.
Once when using an older ROM (maybe Villain 10?) we had this same issue, not able to mount SD,... going into Settings --> Connect to PC --> and turning off Notify/ask me solved the problem.
I just partitionned it using:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)
rm 1
rm 2
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7500
mkpartfs primary ext2 7500 7948
quit
upgrade_fs
reboot recovery
Then put CyanogenMod-5 For Dream/Magic on the SD and renamed it update.zip
I'm in Android System recovery now and just did a nandroid backup.
I should be able to WIPE then FLASH UPDATE IMAGE right?

Yes, if you have the ROM image on the SD Card (FAT32 partition), you can go flash the image.

If your contacts are saved in the phone's memory, then yes. Any settings, apps, configurations that are stored on the phone will all be gone.
A wipe pretty much gives you the factory settings. (As if you just bought the phone) So you'll have to re-signin into your Google Account and let the Contacts Sync, etc..
EDIT: Depending on what you are flashing (flashing and wiping are two different things), you may not even need to wipe.
Hmmm I tried flash update image and got:
E: Cant open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)
When I mount it in system recovery I see the LOST.DIR and update.zip

Try this:
-Confirm the Image-
1) Make sure you have the full image you are going to flash. (Compare MD5 Hashes and/or just redownload the image)
2) Make sure the image you are flashing is the in the ROOT directory of your SDCard. In other words, it shouldn't be in any folder.
-Flash the Image-
1) When in Recovery, choose to flash an image.
2) Depending on what recovery you have, you may have to select/find the Image you want to flash.
3) Flash the image
-Wipe (Depends)-
1) If you are coming from a different ROM base (ie anything -> cyan), you'll want to wipe.
2) After the phone successfully flashes the image, wipe the phone.
Reboot.
Let me know how it goes.
I pulled the new image from: Latest version: 5.0.8-DS - 06/19/2010
Download: http://cyanogen-upda...8-DS-signed.zip
but it says no such file or DIR... weird...
The only partition I can see on my PC to put it on is the main partition...
I just downloaded the file and renamed it update.zip

I just realized the main reason that you posted this topic. From what I am assuming, either:
a) Your SD Card reader is dead
b) The software isn't recognizing the SD Card reader.
Best bet at this point is to setup ADB (ADB For Dummies) and flash the image from your computer. It can get a slight bit complicated, but just slowly go through each step for installing ADB.
Once ADB is set up, you can flash the image from the computer.

The SD card reader in my phone? It has to work if I can read an write to it ( tested photos and videos) and in recovery I was able to make a backup.
If its the software I need to flash it then right? ADB does make me nervous as I only used it once... I just tried using the terminal emulator on the phone to flash a recovery image I had made while back:
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-backup.img
and got the message "error writing recovery: Permission denied"

If you can view the pictures that you saved on the SD card from the phone, then both the software and hardware are functioning correctly.
Regarding the permission denied:
1) What happens if you "su - " in terminal?
2) First try one(1) ^ and then try to reinstate the permissions. (In recovery, go to console and type : fix_permissions)
Not sure otherwise.

Official CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7

As Undeads thread has been closed, I needed to start again.
Basically when flashing the new 5.0.2.7 recovery with any method, via Rom Manager or ADB Fastboot the recovery just doesn't work proper.
My sdcard can't mount, hence I can't navigate nor install any roms?
Performing backups & restores don't work for me either.
I've had to roll back to 4.0.0.9, annoying because I want to try out Blues Bulletproof.
Please someone what is the definitve solution to getting the officion CWM recovery to work as I'd expect.
I've even tried a :
fastboot erase system -w
before fastboot flash recovery 'recoveryimage'.img
Rolling back to 4.0.0.9 allows me to do everything as per usual in recovery, but not with 5.0.2.7
I'm really quite baffled with this
1 - Download the recovery via real computer.
2 - Plug in your doubleshot, transfer to sdcard main directory.
3 - Disconnect from computer, use a root file manager (root explorer preferred) to copy the image from /sdcard to /data/local
4 - Open up terminal emulator.
5 - Type:
Code:
su
6 - Then type:
Code:
dd if=/data/local/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-doubleshot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
*Make sure all letters are lowercase. You will have to juggle the hardware/software keyboard to get the first "i" after "dd" to be lowercase. Try typing a few characters past it, then using the trackpad to move the cursor back to it. Keep trying the hardware and software keyboards until it sticks as a lowercase "i"
7 - Let it transfer, then exit terminal emulator.
8 - Reboot into recovery, should be good.
**Note - pay close attention to the file name for the image. What Undeadk9 typed into his guide is wrong, what I typed here is correct.
Post if you have any further issues.
Edit:
"if" stands for "input file".
"of" stands for "output file".
dd
One thing I love about the official clockwork recovery is the ability to mount the sdcard while plugged into the computer, and drag and drop files to and from the sdcard while the doubleshot is in recovery mode.
Good luck, hope to see it working for you soon.
Thanks, but still same issues
Hi Blue,
I'm still getting the same errors dude.
I just tried your method, hence I've now tried to install the new recovery with all 3 methods (adb fastboot, rom mamanger and this dd terminal command.)
They all flash/install correct, and when rebooting into recovery each time it looks fine.
But when I try to navigate to 'sdcard' (install zip from sd card/choose zip from sd card... i get "E: Cant't mount /sdcard/"
When I go to mounts & storage/mount sdcard, again I get "Error mounting /sdcard!"
When I attempt a backup, I get this "Can't mount backup path."
I hope you can decipher my mayhem here...... very weird!
Maybe it's my sdcard - however, it works as perfect on modaco 4.0.0.9, I'm unsure on whats going on here

I had similar problem, was something stupid. Think usb was still mounted or something. Not plugged into pc, right?
Sent from my RubiX CubeD MT4GS using Tapatalk
if you are using an older version of a rom you have to mount system and data.
Try mounting those and then trying to install from an sd.
If I were you I would do a full wipe /formatsystem/data/dalivk/sdcard. Backup the important things on the sd card to the computer and start fresh with an updated rom and a clean sd card.
You could always try swaping your sd card out but i dont think its the problem. The older roms make running the NEW CWM much more difficult than it should be.
I am not sure it appears you are trying to get an older ROM to run with the new CWM.

Installed new recovery through rom manager, to 5.0.2.7 and rebooted into recovery.
All seems well.
BUTTTTTTTT when i tried to do a backup of my current virtuous rom i get an error: "can't mount target path"
And then when testing the restore i get an error: "can't mount path /sdcard"
And when testing the wipe & format options, instead of the traditional Yes or No.... I now have like 10 No options and 1 Yes option.
Something seems bogus, ive reinstalled the recovery twice but same effect.
Anyone??

so am I the only one who literally can't get this recovery to work at all? perhaps I should contact koush and get him a log... basically, it won't mount my SD card. sd card is not defective as I can mount it fine through modaco recovery without any issues.
I guess I could try formatting the card and then trying the official CWM recovery again, but until then I'm just sticking with the modaco version.

I'm sure I saw it around here somewhere, hell if I know where off the top of my head. I am pretty sure it involved formatting the sd-card if memory serves right.
I have to go, will be on the road for a bit then tied up with the family of my Lady for a bit, so not sure when I can check back in.
Hopefully pmcqueen happens to see this and posts the missing info that was not updated...
I realize I quoted you from the other thread, so this issue has been hanging for you for a while? We need to figure out how to solve it - wish I could be more focused on your problem at the moment.
Try formatting your sdcard through Clockworkmod.
If you can't try powering off the phone and formatting the card directly in your computer.
It sounds like you have Clockworkmod successfully updated to the 5.0.2.7 version, but now reading the sdcard is the problem.
Can you try a different MicroSD card, do you have another one?
What ROM are you using? Becaause anything that dates before the official ROM.manager release date was unmounted. Basically there was a feature that the new ROM doesn't have. Undeadk9 confimed this in that thread. Everything you need to know is there. They go into full detail as to why it wasn't working. Even decided to open a full wiki about why. Did you even read it?
Basically you have to manually mount. Also in the rom try scrollong down and keep going until it unlocks.

Not sure if you already tried this, but if you haven't, try doing:
Get the SD Formatter here and format your sd card (use a card reader if necessary).
Use quick format, but make sure "Format Size Adjustment" was off (all available under options...)
Two reminders:
1. The recommended filesystem for an android SD Card is FAT32
2. Remember to back up whatever you have in the SD card so you can put them back in once you're done formatting
Thanks for all the input guys.
Will try an sd format etc and report back soon.

I can almost guarantee you formatting the sd will fix your problems with sd mounting in 5.0.2.7
You won't be able to do it via cwm recovery (it's not able to even recognize the sd, that's why you're having mounting issues) but if you put the card into an sd reader and format it for a normal fat32 partition I bet that fixes it.
So I just thought I'd chime in here...
I recently updated from Modaco to CWM and had this sd card issue however, I have like 10 different sd cards and the first thing I did was put the ROM I was trying to install on a sd card with nothing on it and BAM it worked. I'm going to try and put my 16gig back in after everything settles in the rom and I'll update with the results. tomorrow.
Hi guys,
similar issue here
I can't make a backup or restore, I can't install somethink because I always get "Can't mount sdcard"
any idea?
thanks
Oh damn I completly forgot to post my results.
Sd card needed a reformat, then the new recovery was able to mount sd etc.
Thanks to everyones 2cents in this thread, helped me out.
Enjoy
I've tried to format but without result
Did you try SD Formatter using a PC? I was able to resurrect a dead 16gb microSD using that method.

Unable to Mount Internal Sdcard in CWM 6.0.1.2

Like the title says. I tried to search by the xda app makes it difficult to find exactly what I'm looking for. Anybody have a solution? It goes through the backup and is unable to mount /sdcard, then gives the error "Unable to find an appropriate backup handler." I back out and go to mounts and storage, and I clock on mount /sdcard. It simply refuses to mount. I'm at a loss.
Does the device boot up?
Aye. Device boots fine, works same as the day it came in the mail. I'm stuck running stock root66 because I can't do a backup (and you know, I like having backups before I flash a ROM). I've reflashed recovery via EZ-Recovery and ROM Manager, still nothing. I'm using Touch, if it matters.

Sounds as if you have a corrupted internal sd. Might want to move everything over to ext sd and wipe data/ factory reset from stock recovery.

SDCard needed to be partitioned to ext 2048 and swp 0 (backup card before doing so)
Place Recovery file in system/bin with root explorer, and update.zip on SDcard( Don't Flash !)
Delete any ClockWorkMod on your SDcard,
intsall Rom Manager,
Flash Rom Manager with Sidekick 4g,
reboot into recovery, by using 2click + power method, if still blue recovery, re-install packages; it should go to Orange recovery version 4.0.0.2
Make sure Mounts are correct before flashing ROM,
Thanks for all you help guys :good::good::good:

I need help installing a ROM, I know how to root and i have superuse and red recovery, however, everytime I install a ROM, i get soft bricked with a robotic woman's voice saying, "convert system partition, data not available... Convert data partion, system not available.
Any ideas? I use the ODIN-one-clcik KG2 tar i believe.
Thanks in advance for any help.

This is the voodoo/ext4 lagfix.
IIRC, and knowing krylon360, it uses the sd-ext partition on your sdcard to temporarily store your files while it converts your partition.
Backup your sdcard, go into recovery. Partition your sdcard. Give EXT 2048 and 0 for swp.
Then try Odin again.
Thank you, will do

after I ODIN, I get stuck on SuperOneClick now, *daemon not running. starting now on port 5037* and when I look at my processes, I have two ADB.exe running, I end the one with the lowest memory (984kb) and one click pops up a window "Automatic version check failed. Is your OS version 2.0 or higher." (Yes) I click ok and then it gets stuck on waiting for device.

So, I'm guessing Odin worked and Linda talked a bunch and everything in that part worked.
If that is the case. When you boot to recovery, can you run 'adb shell' and get a root prompt?
If so, first mount /system
In adb shell:
Code:
mount /system
then close out of adb shell by typing 'exit'
Then download this zip.
extract it and cd to the directory it extracted to.
Then type:
Code:
adb push su /system/xbin/
adb push busybox /system/bin/
adb shell
back in adb shell, we just need to make sure su and busybox are set with the sticky bit:
Code:
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
You now just need to reboot, go to the market, install supersu by chainfire and busybox by stericson and run them both (to mostly upgrade the su binary, but also to make the 'smart links' in busybox)
You are now rooted.
If you don't have adb shell in recovery, please point me to your recovery and I will fix it.
I was never very familiar with using ADB shell, is it, my cmd? Or is it in some kind of emulator?
After this , I think I'm will to have some one do it for me, I'll pay for shipping and everything
The recovery I have after ODIN restore is blue, with no mount options, advanced, etc. All it has is this:
Android System Recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete all user cache
delete cache data
I think my SD card is corruput, it doesnt show up when I plug it into an adapter to USB to computer; my 16gb does show up.
Im going to retry everything with the 16gb card and I found out how to ADB push, hopefully I'll be able to Root Again on the 16gb

The recovery you have after ODIN'ing is the stock default Recovery. You'll need to root, and replace the recovery. You can use ADB like he said, or just use any old Root File Explorer (By the way, Root File Explorer is on the Market, pretty good but you have to pay.)

When I copy the recovery file into the bin folder in system, and place the update on root of SD, it still comes up blue, however, if I take a recovery out of a ROM file and replace it, it still comes up blue, but, if I hit re-install packages on stock recovery. I was finally able to change my mounts, and now I get this after installing ROM in orange recovery, " Convert system partition, 2 min... back up operation." Wow, now I have a red VooDoo recovery. Wouldn't reboot, or install any ROM from SD because it wouldn't let me mount the SD CARD,
mount /sdcard
error

After I did this to my 8gb micro sd, It is now unreadble, evene after setting back to defaults.
I'll test it on a 1gb, before my 16gb.
Right now I have the VooDoo recovery, but I can't install ROMS because it says, "can't mount sdcard," and when I try to mount it, it says:
E:Can't mount /sdcard
Error mounting /sdcard!
And Rebooting system takes me back to recovery or a boot loop.

No. I mean to say he's talking about a blue recovery..this could be the factory Samsung recovery. On the Sidekick the default CWM is Orange, and Voodoo CWM is Red.

Don't just ask for colors, ask for versions
Does it say 3e?
Or is it version 3.0.2.8 (red or blue)?

Point well made haha, but for people who often times run into these problems don't know the versions. The only way I was able to establish versions were through color. Sorry if it doesn't make sense.

Well, the version number is on every screen in recovery. It's always easy to find, because it says v3.0.2.8 or similar.
The point is, in the future, there maybe newer versions, and if you get in a good habit of knowing the version number, it helps to differenciate between different versions of CWR and other recoveries:
2x from Stock Android Recovery (v2 is from donut to eclair)
3e from Stock Android Recovery (v3 is from froyo to jellybean)
v2.5.1.x from Froyo CWR
v3.0.2.8 (Stock CWR- blue or Voodoo CWR- red) from early Gingerbread
there was a v4.x.x.x, but I don't remember how long that lasted...
v5.0.x.x from newer Gingerbread CWR
v6.0.1.x from ICS and Jellybean CWR.
It helps you to know where the recovery comes from. This info is useful for any phone you are on
No, I had stock recovery, I would place a recovery from the Glorious+Overdose ROM into the system/bin, and it would still come up blue, however, when I choose install packages on blue recovery, it takes me to Orange recovery, I'll check versions. And yes, I have an adapter for the sdcard, I checked it, nothing comes up, its done/fried. I'm afraid to try changing the ext and swp on my 16gb 10class because I don't the same results.

Sounds like you had a bad sdcard and did something wrong with the overdose rom stuff. I wouldn't be afraid of the 16G sdcard. Go for it.
Repartitioning your sdcard doesn't fry sdcards.
Maybe TheLastSidekick will chime in and help out with your recovery issue, but I'd still suggest moving to the 16G, partition with 2048M of ext and 0 swp and odin again. try the glorious+overdose rom directions again.
Cool, so I re-did everything (ODIN, rooting) I deleted the clockwork that was already on the SD with RootExplorer, put the Update.zip on root of sdcard, and the recovery in the system/bin and rebooted into recovery successfully with Rom Manager, I have Orange CllockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2, now I am going to partition the SD card.
Just one more question, Can I use the same 16gb SD card on my rooted HTC Inspire 4G for ATT? Or do I need to re-partition the sdcard?

[solved] [Q] Flashing the stock firmware again

Hello everyone,
I have a Galaxy R and to get root access, I just flashed ARDATDAT's kernel, but via Odin, without installing CWM. Later I found out that the method is obsolete, and now I have the yellow triangle in my boot screen. Later, I installed CWM also.
Now, I am not able to get the official ICS update because of that. The phone settings -> about phone show the following :
Model Number - GT-I9103
Android Verison - 2.3.5
Baseband version - I9103DDKH4
Kernel Version - [email protected] #76
Build number - GINGERBREADXWKI5
I want to flash the stock firmware again in order to get the ICS update. I downloaded the stock firmware for my phone (I am not sure if I have downloaded the correct firmware, It'll be helpful if some of you Gurus confirm that... )
from this page :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861359 : the firmware I downloaded says :
Android Version: 2.3.5
Country: India
Region: Europe
Carrier: Unbranded
Build Date: 17th September 2011
PDA: XWKI5
Modem: DDKH4
CSC: ODDKH4
Is this the correct firmware? I live in India, and the XWKI5 also matches with the build number in my phone settings, so I downloaded this.
Now, In the guide to flash stock firmware on xda here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406664 , it is shown that volume down + home button + power button will make the device enter download mode. However, after trying a lot of times, it is not happening. Is it because I installed CWM? I have also installed CWM app on phone. When I choose enter download mode from that, after reboot, my cell just shows the first screen shown in the tutorial, saying "Downloading... Do no turn off target !!" After that, none of the volume up/down/home/power key presses seem to have any effect. I have to reboot the cell to normal mode after long pressing the power key...
I want to go to the next screen of showing 'Warning!! A custom OS can...." but that screen doesn't appear at all...
Thank you in advance...
You downloaded the wrong firmware buddy. Here's the link to the Official Indian ICS Stock ROM.
Regarding download mode, make sure that the phone is not connected to PC via usb cable while entering download mode using Vol down + Home + Power.
EDIT: Resetting the download counter/yellow triangle is not easy. I guess you'll have to live with that. Just ignore it.

1. In the method you are using to get "Downloading..do not turn off target" screen is actually download mode itself.
NO WARNING PAGE WILL COME, SO PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE BATTERY AND RESTART YOUR PHONE.
Just insert the USB cable and start flashing via odin.
2. You dont need to press any volume up key to continue or anything to see that Warning page. Because warnings are only given beforehand and not after you have automatically continued.
And FYI the key pressing thing to continue after the warning page will lead you to this screen only
3. As far as you are concerned with the REGULAR WAY of entering the download mode...
WHICH WILL SHOW YOU THE WARNING PAGE AND YOU WILL HAVE TO PRESS VOLUME UP KEY TO CONTINUE...
4. For getting in the download mode in the normal way LONG press the "volume down+home+power button" you will be able to enter it.
5. CWM has nothing to do with the download mode..so relax..nothing got corrupt because indirect way of entering download mode is working.
So enter the download mode by any of the ways aboveand start flashing.
6. Buddy ICS is android version 4.0.4, download any version, preferable XWLP2 Poland rom, because it is the most updated one and the latest one too.
7. You dont need to download Gingerbread (android version 2.3.5) in order to get the official ICS update. XDA has the list of official firmwares for a download and flash procedure
So download any android version 4.0.4 official firmware!!!![
8. For flashing please read our Recognised Helper P hope it does not offend you vikesh.) kataria.vikesh's post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983262
9. For getting rid of the flash counter/yellow triangle....Try the app triangle away..
But i dont think it is compatible with our device..still give it a try
I hope this post helps you..

Thanks a lot DeepankarS, the post really helped clear a lot of doubts in my mind, because it feels a bit risky while flashing your phone for the first time..
I will try the ICS stock mod link given above by droidster. I have taken a 'user apps + system data' backup with Titanium backup pro on my external SD. Also, I have backed up my contacts on the same. Is this enough? I have heard that there are things like clearing the cache etc, so will I lose any important data even with backing this much up? Sorry, but just want to clear things before I do any mess...
Re: [Q] Flashing the stock firmware again

Cache wont make you lose any data
and yeah this much backup is enough.
And yes do one thing more...
Once you properly install ICS and CWM, Take a CWM backup of your device..
You can never lose your data then (data at that particular point of backup)
So if you have CWM backup, you can freely, without any problems flash any custom rom via CWM.
So even if something goes wrong while flashing a custom rom, you can restore via CWM.
And buddy always remember these things.
1. ODIN (any version) is to be used just for flashing STOCK Roms and CWM.
2. Never Flash a CUSTOM Rom via ODIN (until and unless stated) . It will brick your device. You have CWM to flash stock roms so dont worry.
3. Never factory reset your device while being on stock kernel, it might activate your brick bug.
Just after flashing stock ICS, download eMMC Brick Bug App to check for brick bug, then only proceed with the factory reset part.
4. For any problems, you always have XDA

Thanks a lot! Did not know that ODIN is used only to flash custom ROMs! I have already installed CWM on my phone using ODIN. I had tried to take a backup using CWM, but then I just cant find the backup files. My System storage had got almost full after I took the backup, and I tried to find the backup file, to move it to external SD, but I simply wasn't able to locate it...so freed some storage space by deleting apps. That's why I took a backup via Titanium Backup this time.... Should I try taking a backup via CWM again??

Buddy that depends on the amount of apps, files and data you have.
So..1.5-2 GB not necessary
Plus selection matters..so..
Why to generalise!!

First of all...thanks a lott for your constant answers and prompt help...
Okay...formatting sdcard means settings->storage->format SD card?? currently the option is disabled...do I first need to unmount it?? Then it will be enabled?? Also, what data will I lose after doing it?? (I know formatting will erase all data on sdcard...but don't know what all data exactly is there on sdcard....is there any possibility of bricking my cell in this ??)
