[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
rusty, is it possible that there is a "wipe data" bug in this recovery (4005) ?

i tried to wipe data on MCR Rom, and it seems to work ok, but ...

i wanted to move from fr18b2 to cm nightly 55

put cm zip on sd card, wiped everything, applied cm zip, rebooted

a lot of FC after PIN code, like LGsetupwizard, and so on (not included in CM ?!)

no chance to get CM running ...

then i reverted to my backup, downgraded recovery to official 3028, applied again and everything was ok ...

i can´t figure out why ...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I'd hope not, as it's code straight from the CM repo. Will see if I can replicate it at somepoint.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
i think i can give you more details now ...

wipe data seems to be ok, but i think this recovery is not executing

format("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1") correct !

today i moved from nightly 56 to 57, this time i deleted some apps from zip file before installing (googlebooks, email, file manager, and some others)

after installing 57, i still had this apps in system/app (deleted them with root explorer manually now)

so my conclusion is, that new zip file got just extracted, but no format happend before ...

this could also have been the reason i couldn´t move from fr18 to cm with recovery 4005 (worked with 3028 as i posted before)

what do you think, could you try to replicate ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Mr.Greg:
Guys please I need you help. I`m new in development and I rooted my 2X one week ago and I checked model of clockworkMod on the phone and is v3.0.2.8. How can upgrade? Via recovery? Just flash this zip file? Thanx in advance!
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Unzip the cwm4 to your computer and run its batch file with your phone plugin of course. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] peewster:
/data wipe doesn't work indeed. But you can also wipe your data with rm -rf /data trough adb. Worked for me. It's ugly but it works :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
so is this recovery reliable or not @rusty?

cause of the missing why possibility then

or shall i switch to a different recovery?which one do you suggest then?
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
i´m trying out again 3200 (01.06.) tomorrow with new nightly, can tell you then ...
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
CWM 4.0.0.5 External version is unable to format the cache partition when flashing rom on two different O2X. That must surely be a bug/error ???
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
ok i will listen to that..
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
3028 works at least bugfree when you need it (i tested when moving from fr18 to CM), but no softkeys enabled ...

i hope 3200 will also ...

i use this version : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098001
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
It can't format any partition, see previous posts.
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Okay. So a previous version is recommended?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yeah looks like 4.0.0.5 ain't great. Seems to have trouble with formatting, pretty sure 4.0.0.4 was OK but too many beers to delve into it right now.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I think the 4.0.0.5 has wiping bugged too. Will test 4.0.0.4 when I'm free.

The softkeys is a very nice feature though. Too bad.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
4.0.0.2 External works fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I'll try that then thanks.

EDIT: 4.0.0.2 wiping of /cache is working well. I've yet to try other wipes but that's a good start.
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
Delete plze

Sent from my HTC Desire
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Been a couple of commits overnight, so I have updated v4.0.0.5 never know, might sort some of this crap lol
[LG Optimus 2x] xXZaufiXx:
should i flash this with my actual cwm ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No, open the zip and run the batch file.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
3200 worked fine for me, just installed cm.59 with some other deleted apps, after install they were gone, so format seems to work properly, softkeys also work

anybody tried rustys new 4005 ?
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
did he rebuild it?didnt know lol.i am using 4.0.0.2 now..seems to work
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
thx for info ...

i think i´ll stick to 3200 for some time, it simply works and that´s what i need.

honestly, i didn´t recognize any differences in user experience in the last versions, so ...

as long as softkeys and wipe / format is working, everything is fine for me ...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I did. There was a couple of commits overnight.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
you tried wipe / format yet ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Mr.Greg:
I upgrade my recovery to 4.0.0.5 from v3.0.2.8, but when I tried to do a restore from recovery I received a error, I installed back my first rom and after I ckecked recovery model was v3.0.2.8, after I did a back up and was ok... Guys any idea???
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yes, it formats fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
fine, i will update ...
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Just tried updated 4.0.0.5 for both mine and your compiled.

For wiping /cache I still get error for both our compiled CWM4. Still thinks its not formatting properly on the updated CWM4.0.0.5 updated 06-25.

I tried 4.0.0.2 and it formats fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Odd, I didn't get any error wiping cache (or with data & system for that matter).
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Doh. It must be my phone then :)

I'll check on my end. Thanks.

EDIT: Rusty! Can u confirm no error at your end going into "Mount & Storage" and select format /cache ? Nothing is formatted. (both mine and yours). I checked my end nothing is wrong with my phone :(
[LG Optimus 2x] gladiamos:
Can confirm wipe do nothing in 4.0.0.5.

When i wipe i have no error but still do nothing when i boot there is no wipe !!
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Hmm, I get an error doing it that way, but if I use 'wipe cache partition' from the main menu, no error.

Wonder why it would be different.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Try change your permissions or add some files to

/cache/Download

And wipe cache from recovery main menu. For me, nothing is wiped even if I selected that (I don't get error from wiping cache in main menu).
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
In 4.0.0.5 is internal mounted at /sdcard and external at /sdcard/_ExternalSD?. Because I want CWM to be able to use my external card and its a priority
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
On the internal version it's mounted there, but it doesn't work.

On the external version it's just /sdcard
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
So you get the option when you "install" it wehther you want the internal or the external version?
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
use

install-ext-clockworkmod-windows.bat

or

install-int-clockworkmod-windows.bat
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
More commits overnight, and it seems that v4.0.0.5 can now format.
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Can anyone confirm that?
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
Rusty,

Please make it so that you can see what files are backed up etc. I prefer that to just seeing a bar that moves. I would like to get the "view" back that 3.2.0.0 offered while doing backup.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Just did a own compiled of CWM4.0.0.5 2011-06-27, wiping works now.
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Cool, thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Rusty, will we have a new int/ext variants of 4.0.5 soon? I built 4.0.5 from CM sources and it is ext by default. I do no know how to make the int variant.

Could ext version work with LG stock from modaco or does it require internal?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I updated the OP with the working versions this morning ;)

External version works with MoDaCo/other stock ROMs, but not via ROM Manager.

To make your own internal version, you have to edit the recovery.fstab file in /devices/lge/p990
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
Rusty,

Any chance you can get it to actually display what is happening rather then only just showing that bar?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Er dunno, that would involve knowing what to look for and where :D
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
I thought you were the one making them since you are posting them >_<. But can you please forward my request to your source then?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I'm building them, but I'm certainly not taking any credit for the real work, that's Koush... thought everyone knew that.

All I do is edit recovery.fstab for internal SD and EXT4 support.

These aren't official builds as such, they're from ROM Manager. This is more like a ClockworkMod nightly kang :D I like new versions of things, so when I see a change I build and host for any other version whores out there.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
Ah,

I just like how version 3.2.0.0 tells you what files its working it. At least to me its more informative as i know its working, rather then showing me a bar that doesn't move >_<
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I have a hunch on the cause... go into ROM Manager settings and enable 'quick backup'

I reckon that will make 3.2.0.0 behave in the same way.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
3.2.0.0 was never an official ROM Manager release and after ROM Manager ****ed up my NANDroids I stopped using it. And I have progress bars on both 3.2.0.0 as well as 4.something. But 4. something doesn't show details

EDIT:

CWM 4 on my LG O2x, no ROM Manager installed:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11843124/DSC00001.3GP

CWM 3.2.0.0, No ROM Manager installed:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11843124/DSC00003.3GP

Sorry about the bad quality but I think you get the gist of what I want :P. I want a moving progress bar as well as the "ability" to see the files being backed up rather then an empty progress bar sitting at the bottom.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I know what you want, I've used ClockworkMod before v4 ;)

I reckon the quick backup setting is now the default, whether it's by design I don't know. I like it that way though, miles faster. Whether it's easy to 'fix' remains to be seen.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Although I was aware of this, and I agree most people are aware - the question does highlight a potential issue for new users since this build doesn't get tested like official ones.

Perhaps the thread title should include [UNOFFICIAL] or [TEST]?
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
Both backups I performed took the exact same time for me or close to it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Something I've realised today:

The internal version actually can browse the external SD as well! You have to mount it manually from ADB though, the built in mount function seems to fail (without error) for some reason.

adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/_ExternalSD
[LG Optimus 2x] ludow:
I am quite concerned about backwards compatibility between different builds. I can tell you, they are not. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
In what way not compatible? I've restored backups over various versions.

Unless you mean a newer backup doesn't restore properly on an old version (>3.2.0.0), in which case a backup taken on the version probably wont work either ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] CZVAGY:
Instalation doesn´t work. Deamon succesfully started and after then "device not found". I don´t understand, cos cabel plugged, debug mode checked, USB drivers installed.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Sounds like ADB is broken for you. Do you have Android ADB Interface (or similar) listed in Device Manager?
[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
Hi,

I am complete newbie to this thing, and with all these version i am so confused what to use :S

I am going to Flash Fear edition Fr19 for the first time, i am on official Rom now.

Please anyone tell me what version of CWM i should use ? and with download link please

thanks a lot
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
use the latest one attached in 1.st post, you should be fine (you can choose external or internal, read OP for more infos...)

->

Both .img files in one package: http://www.mediafire.com/?x2w27b5e4fcb5ey

MD5#: 6667bc770e8123d88e24e911096166e3
[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
thanks for quick reply,

but why so many people reporting in different threads of roms that latest version dosent work well and with 3.2 works fine. As i dont want to mess up my phone i asked what to do :(
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
you´re right, some older 4005 versions had problems with wiping & format, but rustys newest one should be fine, i use it since some days without problems

if something is really not working for you, you can flash over other recovery at any time, nothing will harm your phone, recovery is ROM independent :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
Thanks

I just download and launch the .bat file on my windows 7 install-ext-clockworkmod-windows

A cmd windows opened it did some stuff and closed itself, now when i go in Rom Manager i still see version 3.0.2.8 Is this normal ?
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
yes, ROM manager doesn´t recognize this build, you´ll just see 3028...don´t worry about that

just boot to recovery & you´ll see correct version nr.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
If you're really sad (like me) you can manually edit ROM Manager's configuration so it reports the correct version :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Netuser:
no i thought something went wrong :P

thx :)
[LG Optimus 2x] bjohv052:
When doing a backup, sd-ext is not backed up. The reason is that sd-ext is missing from recovery.fstab, see https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_p990/blob/gingerbread/recovery.fstab

Could someone with better skills than me make a patch and supply to Gerrit?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It's missing because it's completely unnecessary on the P990, why would you need an EXT partition with a 1.5GB /data partition?

Anyhoo... http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Gerrit
[LG Optimus 2x] bjohv052:
I don't use sd-ext for space, I use it to get ext3 file permissions. For example, I symlink /data/dropbear to /sd-ext/dropbear, so that when I wipe and flash (or buy a new phone) dropbear works instantly. Dropbear files need specific ownership and permissions for dropbear to work.

Anyways, thanks for the pointer.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
New version time :)
[LG Optimus 2x] bjohv052:
Thanks, will try.

What's with the sdcard/Android thing?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
A commit was added to backup the /sdcard/Android folder, which some apps use to store data.

I think it's pointless to back it up, as a) it's already on the SD card, and b) it's bloody massive! (it's where that 500MB of data each new game seems to need is stored)
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Hi,

just flashed the new version.

I've just made a backup and there is still the Time/Date bug: the folder is named 2011-06-08.11.39.39, instead of 2011-07-08.13.39.39.

The incorrect time zone is not a big issue, but I can't understand why there is one month back in date.

I use internal version as I'm running Froyo Slick 2X.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No one seems to know, else it would have been fixed by now ;)

Also, it doesn't affect everyone either, so that makes it even more annoying... for instance, my backups are named correctly.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
it also happend to me on all FROYO ROMs...

on CM it´s ok ...
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
I have that issue with my Nandroids too. It's pretty annoying, but I'm guessing (as mentioned by markus) that it should work fine once you have that CWM + CM combo going on.
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
don't know why but if i try to install a zip packagefrom this recovery,every time i got "istallation aborted"

the strange thing is that i haven't this error when i try to install a rom like cyanogen but when i try to install a live wallpaper from a zip..(this zip work on other phones..)

any idea?
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Hey, what about differnet color versions? Would be cool and doesn't require that much work...

Thanks in advance :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Are you using the right version? For instance the external version would cause that on a stock based ROM.

Hop to it then ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
I'm using the external version with cyanogen installed....
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Should be fine then, unless you tried use ROM Manager and the .zip was on /mnt/emmc

How old is the file? It might be using an amend script that was deprecated from Clockworkmod v3 onwards
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
this is the file that i have tryed to flash:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1146337

and also this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12981464&postcount=9

i know that they could not work on cm7, but normally in my past experience i have always been able to flash and then they could or not work....now nothing.
[LG Optimus 2x] kickassdave:
Tried flashing my girlfriend's phone last night. This seems to work but on going into recovery I just get "can't mount sd card" when I choose to apply zip from sd card...

Really odd but I can't see anyone else mentioning this. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Actually a lot of people have had similar, seems to be the phone is quite finicky about SD cards.

Usually turning the phone off and booting straight into recovery helps.
[LG Optimus 2x] kickassdave:
well... this phone only has internal SD card. The .bat file "seems" to have installed without error (the dos window closes before I see any confirmation otherwise)

I was then shutting down the phone, holding volume up+power ON and in recovery every mode still unable to access SD card... :(

I have triple checked all drivers are installed and working as required as well.. totally clueless.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Did you install the external version by mistake? That doesn't support the internal SD card (at least not in any useful way, it's at /emmc). Next time I build the external ver will fall back to the internal card if one isn't installed (as per recent commit).

Edit: Done that now, so either build will be OK.
[LG Optimus 2x] kickassdave:
Thank you. I'll make sure I send thanks when I get home. I could only see one .bat file in the zip that says external and internal sd... so not sure what had missed. Look forward to trying again.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
Its not pointless >_<. My LG stored all the gamedata and **** like that on the Internal SD. Means that if I have to do a full wipe or a NVflash then I am stuck with downloading all that data over again. Either that or having to manually copy the Internal SD contents somewhere regularly which is just going to be annoying. And I have had been forced to do that 1-2 already due to a faulty ClockWorkMod recovery that bootlocked your phone on restore due to an error with restoring the boot partiation.

Why not make it an option to include it or not. Or simple make 2 versions (one with and one without) as I would prefer to actually get the backup.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
NVFlash has never wiped my internal, despite the warnings Paul provides.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
Well it wiped mine every time I restored with NVFlash. Which is 2 times so far. Both time as a result of CWM bootlooping my device.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
It's been reverted in CWM4.0.1.0.

New in CWM4.0.1.0

Google Music stores their music cache /sdcard/Android...

Can't back this up unless we start selectively excluding apps, which is gross.

Most apps only store interstitial files here, so it is not a huge deal.

Apps need to be able to work properly without an SD card. (Oops ROM Manager).

Revert "backup and restore of /sdcard/Android (see getExternalFilesDir)"

This reverts commit 50732e3.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
And where can i find 4.0.0.10?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Wait for Rusty! to build his or u can get from my MediaFire Sharefolder which I compiled unedited.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yeah I've only just got up, let alone started building ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Now you can find it in the OP :p
[LG Optimus 2x] PYCON:
I've not understood how new recovery 4.0.1.0 works... If I want the recovery works as old version 3.2.0.0, I've to install internal version but in this case the recovery can ONLY read internal SD, right ? While if I install external recovery, it'll be installed in external SD and can read ONLY external SD, right ? :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Close enough.

The names 'internal' and 'external' tell you which bit of storage it mounts by default. The external version will mount the internal SD card if there is no external SD present.

If you don't mind a bit of ADB, the internal version can mount the external card to /sdcard/_ExternalSD
[LG Optimus 2x] PYCON:
Tried, it doesn't work... When I go to _EXTERNALSD, index menu return to root of Internal SD... It doesn't display the content of the External SD... :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yes it does. Like I said, you need to do some adb related fiddling.

adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/_ExternalSD

Then you can browse the external SD card.
[LG Optimus 2x] PYCON:
:eek: No man, u've not understood... :D I'm speaking about RECOVERY MODE !!!! In the recovery, install zip from, then browse the content of the internal sd... Here there's _EXTERNALSD that is an invalid link ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
Yours has quickbackup setting :(. Any chance for one without it?.

Or at least tell me how to change it so I can build my own. Because I like the "stock" 4.0.0.10 apart from the quick backup crap :(

BUG:

Every time I have made a backup with CWM the External SD is not getting mounted on reboot
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Maybe Rusty! Can share his experience. I've yet to try editing anything cuz its a curse. Once started will never stop. So I'm not even trying :)

And yeah our o2x is damn fussy about sdcards. Quite a number of users have your issue. Luckily I'm not one of those.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
That would be good. I dont think its reasonable to expect that he would actually go and recompile a version "just for me" where the only change is that quick back is turned off and everything else is as "stock"
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
'Tis you who does not understand, ADB works in recovery...

As for the quick backup thing, it's been the default since version 4.0.0.0 and I like it ;)

I am assuming that the thing that needs to be changed is in nandroid.c (which is what I had to modify to stop the backup of /sdcard/Android), but nothing really jumps out at me. Unfortunately my coding skills are next to zero you see :D

Of course it could be in another file altogether.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
Rusty,

You might like it, but I dont :P. And even installing CWM from rom manager and changing the setting there does nothing. And I have no way to dig inside the img file to see if I can change anything :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It's not too hard to split the .img, as long as you have linux, although it would be better to 'fix' at the source.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
Well I dont know how to compile the source files, and seeing as you were compiling i "thought" you might know the trick where to find the solution.

And no im not running Linux if thats what you are hinting at >_>
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I hope you set up for some disappointment then, for now at least ;)

Someone else mentioned it as well, so you're not alone in hating the quick backup setting if that's any consolation.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
Not so much dissapointment. Rather annoyance since I can just go and flash 3.2.0.0 of CWM which does more or less the same without lacking the bars. I will just have to miss out on the backup of the sdcard/android folder.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Don't worry about missing out on it, that code was dumped.

The only way anything in this thread starts backing that up again will be if I deliberately make it. Which isn't likely.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
I mean, I can see the good side of it being included. But also the downside of a significant increase of backup package. But I actually lost lost data due to it not being backed up.

One of my apps was set to save on the SD card and I had not given it much mind when I ported over to my LG. At which point it saved files on the Internal SD which then got wiped and files was inadvertantly and permanently lost.
[LG Optimus 2x] k101d:
CWM version go quickly, my question is who need to use the newest version for me I still use 3.2.0.0 and don't know what benefit of follow the new one except internal support. IMO 3.2.0.0 work perfect.
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
New versions are for tech and update junkies. And for normal user yeah 3.2.0.0 work good.
