exactly right, it will evolve into a more user friendly app in the future. I would not worry about it right now just do not rely on the nandoid back ups for right now and wait for a more solid fix to come out.
[Xoom Android Development] skoone68:
I installed both. first, I updated Koush's CWM that I already had installed from a while back, and then about an hour ago I installed BRD's recovery.img file.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Does it really matter which one I got?
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
So it is an interface issue with clockwork and the sd card mounting i am sure it will be fixed soon
[Xoom Android Development] ClydeB1:
I have

- mount /sdcard

- mount /system

- mount /cache

- mount /data

Ok, I only installed the BRD version. I installed Rom Manager but didn't update Recovery.
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
no essentially they both do the same thing
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Ok sorry guys do what I'm getting from all this is everyone can back up. But can't restore? Thanks

sent from my evo :-)
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
and your still getting the same cache error mounting when you power on and boot into recovery?
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
LOL i do not think you can have two recovery.img files loaded one will overwrite the other. Just an interface issue with clockwork and your sd card right now it will be fixed i am sure. The BDR and rom manager should be essentially the same recovery.img?
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
I would say yes for now so dont rely on your nandroid backups to restore until it is fixed
[Xoom Android Development] stiffspliff:
been experimenting since last night, w/ music and movies on my sdcard, nandroids are only ~350mb. after factory reset, rebooted to make sure everything was gone except sdcard content, and restored nandroid back to original state w/ widgets, homescreen, etc. in tact.

happy customer as always, brd :)
[Xoom Android Development] GulMiguel:
Need an SD card?

Check out eBay - they have some wonderful prices on name brand 32 GB microSD cards. Already ordered a SanDisk for myself - should be in tomorrow. YEHEY!!
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
How did you restore? It keeps telling me. Error deleting boot image
[Xoom Android Development] xlGmanlx:
When I get to a computer i will donate and like it
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Same here, i had to do advanced restore and do each part.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
How did it work in advanced for boot image. I'm confused because as brd has said CWR is fully functionally? ???

sent from my evo :-)
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
I think that is a little bit of a misomer as it is a workable recovery but the interface between the sd card and clockwork can be tricky.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
It is letting me do everything besides the boot image in advanced

sent from my evo :-)
[Xoom Android Development] ryan562:
Awesome. Gonna make a nandroid backup now.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
I wanna do a factory reset and restore lol but I'm scared

[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
oh i would not do that right now LOL give it some time for the bugs to be worked out
[Xoom Android Development] stiffspliff:
I was talking to a few people in IRC while I did this.. worked fine from factory reset within honeycomb and also a reset from recovery
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Lol I thought that would make some laughs. What is this guy thinking!
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
are you referring to me?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Haha yea. Maybe we will be lucky tnite and get the new kernel???
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
haha i would not do anything until i see it a bit more successful just me its too expensive to screw it up flashing when so much is still unknown
[Xoom Android Development] open1your1eyes0:
I was told by another member that it is impossible to access the recovery parition without an OS on specifically the Wifi Xoom. Does anyone know if this is true?

The reason I ask is cause what do we do in the case our OS is corrupted and we need to do nandroid backup or restore pre-OS?
[Xoom Android Development] jmattick:
I would assume, at least until an alternative is setup, that you would sbf back and then restore your nandroid backup from there. A little longer but not extremely difficult.
[Xoom Android Development] mrkrabs:
OK...I've installed cwm...the problem is recovery is not showing up from power off....I turn on...wait for red dual core screen...hit volume down...only options I have are fastboot...rsd....and sum thing else I can't remember but it doesn't say recovery,,,,I can get into cwm by rebooting through from manager or a adb
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Wifi version doesn't have this option (nvflash, rsd and fastboot), only the 3g (nvflash, rsd, fastboot and recovery).

[Xoom Android Development] open1your1eyes0:
Can anyone else back this up? There is no way to access recovery on Wifi Xoom without an OS?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
How many people have been able to restore there rom they backed up on cwm?
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
+1 I would like to know becuase it doesnt seem to be working like the usual restore feature
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Your getting the same error right? Error boot image? I've been asking all over. Xoomforums is like a ghost town
[Xoom Android Development] scassel:
Thanks for your dedication to this brd. First nandroid complete.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Try to restore to that backup let us know if it works

sent from my evo :-)
[Xoom Android Development] scassel:
got an error. Could not erase boot img:confused:
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
OK then I'm not the only one. Were working to figure this out
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
You can manually restore and it will work. But doing a full restore does not work yet.
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
thank you i will wait til this is figured out, i am sure it is a compiling issue and will get fixed fast
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Manually? By going into advanced and doing it. It lets you do everything besides boot image
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Yep, thats how i did it. I have restored a couple times already.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
And the boot image worked through advanced? Any tricks?
[Xoom Android Development] scassel:
Ok. Looks like a little more development is needed. I have the 1.3.1 kernel and installed recovery through rm. Nandroid went OK and it was in sdcard2/clockwork/backup. Trying to manage backups from rm yields a blank screen. If I boot into recovery from rm, I can start the recovery process but get the boot image error. I did not check my mounts or try to boot into Recovery from power off. For the record, wifi model.

As fast as we got here, I am sure it won't be long :D
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Sorry no i skipped it. All you really need is data and system.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
OK cool thanks. Did you do system wipe to factory and it worked?
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
Yes today alone i have done 5 different wipes (in os or cwm). I have restored 2 times, been testing a lot of crap.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
I think I'm gonna do a wipe :-)
[Xoom Android Development] dj_ghosie:
You could install "QuickBoot" from Market and reboot to recovery and fastboot from there.
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
I think I got three updates for from manager today anyone else?
[Xoom Android Development] BlackDino:
So did I haha
[Xoom Android Development] DirtyDawgOriginal:
Thanks for the reply, this didn't help me though.
[Xoom Android Development] open1your1eyes0:
Yes, but the whole point I'm asking is what if you can't access the ROM like let's say it is corrupt or doesn't boot. How are we to access recovery on Wifi Xoom otherwise?
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
well, it looks like we are having issues with the boot partition. I am looking into this. In the meantime, used advanced restore and restore system and data manually. Use quickboot to easily access recovery from the Xoom. I am close to having a solid updater script so we can start flashing kernels, mods, and other stuff from recovery. Soon, no more of this fastboot crap!
[Xoom Android Development] mrkrabs:
Maybe there will be a way to run clockwork from SD card like on the nook
[Xoom Android Development] padanfain:
I am getting the same error that another person has posted:

E: Can't open /dev/block/mmcblk1p3

(No such file or directory)

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

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

E:Can't mount /sdcard

I just flashed recovery via adb... running tiamat 1.3.1... was hoping to use recovery to flash 1.3.2.
[Xoom Android Development] b0ricua:
Would you mind adding any nuiances, bugs, etc. to the OP? Just to ensure all information about restoring is all in one place

Thanks!!
[Xoom Android Development] Squeak22:
It doesn't support loading zip's from the internal storage yet. They have to be from the external sd card.
[Xoom Android Development] atom_jack:
I'm getting those same errors, and my xoom won't even boot up now - just gets stuck in the Dual Core Technology screen. The weird thing is I didn't even change anything. I've been running CM since yesterday, rebooted into it several times with no problems, even did a nandroid backup (but no restore), and then all of a sudden when I rebooted into it today I got those errors. My intention was to flash the new tiamat kernel, but now I seem to be stuck. I don't really see what those errors have to do with loading zips from the internal storage though (I didn't even copy any new stuff over). I can still get into recovery just fine, though.

Do these errors have something to do with the boot partition problems bigrushdog mentioned?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
No. Just do a restore manually under advanced just system and data see if that works. Or you might just wipe first then restore through advanced that'll work. Then apply the new tiamat. 1.3.2 in cwr
[Xoom Android Development] atom_jack:
Advanced restore doesn't work, can't seem to mount my sdcard. I also tried wipe data/factory reset, but it showed

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p10 as well as p9 (/data and /cache/). Then it said it skipped the format.

Does it matter that I was running Tiamat 1.3.0, not 1.3.1?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
No it doesn't matter did you do a system wipe and clear your cache try that. As long as you have your backup you'll be ok you won't loose anything. When you download 1.3.2 did you copy it from sdcard to sdcard2?
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
Must i have a SDCard in the slot to flash this recovery ?
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
You can flash without, but it won't do you much good.

[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
You say you can still get into recovery, this tells me you have a 3g...you can just run the sbf and start over.

[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
If you can't do that depending on how you rooted just use the one click and root again should be OK
[Xoom Android Development] atom_jack:
No, I hadn't copied it anywhere yet, just on my computer. I did however create /sdcard/sdcard2/, then when I rebooted into CWM it started showing those errors.

By system wipe you mean wipe data/factory reset, right? It looks like when it first starts up, most of the block devices in /dev/block are missing, but after waiting awhile they seem to magically appear. When I first tried wiping cache it complained that it couldn't find /dev/block/mmcblk1p3, but after I waited awhile I was able to wipe it, and also do a wipe data/factory reset, but that doesn't seem to change anything. Since I have the wifi version, could I just try redoing the manual (fastboot) rooting instructions or something?

No, I have the WiFi only version. When I let it try to boot up normally, and it hangs on the dual core screen, I can use adb to reboot it into recovery. I'll also note that while it's stuck in the dual core screen, 'adb shell' returns

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

edit:After some more poking around in adb, it looks like the wipe data/factory reset erased everything in my /sdcard/ (ie, internal 32gb of memory), and that's being mounted as /data/. I was able to mount /system, /cache, and /data from CWM, but not /sdcard. So, I can't seem to get access to the physical sd card (which has my nandroid backup). It just says Error mounting /sdcard! .
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
Could you explain ?
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
To flash the recovery just go to fastboot and do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img But without an sdcard, you won't be able to do much in recovery.
[Xoom Android Development] atom_jack:
Ok, I'm back in business. I think my sd card was partially ejected or something - dmesg showed a bunch of errors, so I turned it off, removed the sdcard, rebooted, but it still couldn't find the /cache partition, so I turned it off again, put the sdcard back in, rebooted it, and it booted up as a brand new (rooted) xoom. Attempting to restore my nandroid backup now, one at a time (except for boot). Phew!

ps:thanks for all the help guys!
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
So i don't need to use my PC ?. I just want to get the kernel running for now , i'll get an SD Card soon .
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
You would need a computer to get the recovery on, and then an sdcard to flash the kernel. You could also take the pieces out of the zip and flash just like the old ones (but you still need a computer to do this).
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
I used rom manager to flash the latest recovery 3.0.2.5 can i boot into recovery with that and flash the kernel . I'm having a problem downloading the clockwork recovery file on my PC , i download it from my Xoom and email to the PC and it's a bin file which i'm also having problems extracting .
[Xoom Android Development] atom_jack:
My nandroid restore went through, although not a lot of my settings got saved (some did, like wifi networks). A lot of my apps are force closing, now, like Launcher Pro. I did restore sd-ext, but it didn't really look like it actually restored anything, plus I didn't see any matching .img file on the sdcard for that. Is there no way to restore all the settings properly yet? Will I have to reinstall all these apps that are force closing and start them from scratch, settings wise?
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Go to cwr and its a setting fix ..... forgot what it says

Actually go to rom manager. Fix permssions
[Xoom Android Development] fsunoles157:
Depends what kernal you have now
[Xoom Android Development] jawonder:
Ok flash Clockwork Recovery with ADB when i boot into recovery i get a green android with a triangle and exclamation sign ,i don't have a SD Card in could that be the cause ?.Ok got it , flash the latest recovery in Rom Manager then i was able to boot into recovery with Fatboot .

Well- I tried everything at first. The new 32 GB SD card seemed intermittent. It would work then it wouldn't... All the while- the spare 8 GB card I have worked fine.. Then I jerked the 32 GB card from my phone (that I KNOW is legit) and compared to the "new one"... Both marked SanDisk... But the real one has a serial/part number stamped in it and the other doesn't.. Also the "new" one (ordered off Ebay this week) has lettering already scratching off and the edges look rough (less quality)... What I have is a generic 4 GB card that reads 32 GB and rewrites itself.. Beware Ebay scams.. You get what you pay for.

[Xoom Android Development] cat2115:
I'm the same as you,
[Xoom Android Development] DirtyDawgOriginal:
Try going into mounts and storage and then "mounting sd card" then go back and try your backups and/or flashes. This is what I've had to do. For whatever reason, it's having difficulty recognizing/mounting sd card through RM and it has to be done (for the moment anyway) manually while your in recovery. You can also gain access to the sd card by "mount USB storage" with your xoom already connected to your computer system via USB cable.
[Xoom Android Development] padanfain:
great, sticking a 2GB sdcard in there let me flash the kernel... thanks for pointing out that recovery doesn't currently read the system sdcard.
[Xoom Android Development] hermy65:
how do you navigate through cwm? obviously up and down allow you to choose what you want to go into but how do you actually select an option?
[Xoom Android Development] ilovechi23:
Power button.
[Xoom Android Development] DirtyDawgOriginal:
I got this same message. I'm assuming that it means that during the back up it found "nothing" apps wise installed on the sd card and therefore didn't back anything of that nature up. I'm sure if I'm wrong, someone will chime in here and let us know. :) To me, this is what it means because of the way it's worded.

it says : "normal nand detected. non pvt4"

on PC it says "waiting for flashing to complete"

i had both the drivers that come with HTC Sync AND the modified HBOOT from unrevoked. my desire is a PVT3 hboot 0.80

i used the CD method, MD5 sums were OK.

i used GingerVillain 2.0 when starting S-OFF procedure.

FAQ on alpharevs page:

Something went wrong! The livecd told me to get help!! Is my phone bricked?

First of all, leave your phone turned on and plugged in to USB. Your phone will most likely not be bricked, unless you REBOOT!

Before that happens, please contact an operator on irc.freenode.net , channel #alpharev , as instructed on the livecd.

The operators there should be able to provide you with some more hands-on help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzumagos:
actually i rebooted it and it worked. HBOOT and RECOVERY remained untouched, but system didnt boot up anymore.

flashed gingervillain again, then ran a RUU to go to stock, then unrevoked to get root and finally tried S-OFF again and it worked.

it must have been the gingervillain :)

i think that i could reboot the phone without bricking it is because alpharev didnt dump old hboot (which would appear on screen)
