How can I uninstall ClockworkMod 4.0.1.0 ??

I have gone back to my stock ROM and want to upgrade whit the new LG firmware, but when I start to upgrade the phone restarts and then it stats up ClockworkMod 4.0.1.0.!!

I choose restart and its only start up normaly whihout any upgrade.

Ive deleted ClockworkMod files on int and ext card and I unrootet. Last thing I did was a factory reset of the phone, but still it will not upgrade..

What to do?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Try this: http://android.modaco.com/topic/336...460__hl__recovery__fromsearch__1#entry1741460
[LG Optimus 2x] SolidAudio:
But Im back in stock ROM. That was no problem. The problem is updating to V10c.

Phone have download the 10c file automaticly, but it cant upgrade it. Only starting up CWM everytime it restarts for upgrade...

Can this file you linked to fix that?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Yes. From the first post of that link...

"If you have backed up your stock system via ClockworkMod but you want to return your recovery to stock too (i.e. return to COMPLETELY stock), then apply this zip in ClockworkMod. Obviously, once you have, ClockworkMod is gone. :D"

In other words it replaces ClockworkMod Recovery with the stock LG recovery, which apparently is responsible for flashing OTA updates.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] SolidAudio:
CWM is gone and now its updating.. Works perfectly.

Thanks:D
[LG Optimus 2x] SolidAudio:
Didn't go so well afterall!!

It freez in the middel of the update!! I let it stay there for over one houer just to bee sure.. Then I had to take out battery to restart it.. Now its only showing LG logo..

What to do.?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
NVflash back to stock would be my guess.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Several possibilities, but I'd advise a smartflash with a complete copy of an old version (you can find them in another thread in this forum), followed by an immediate update using the LG update tool.

There's also the NVFlash route, just search the forums for those two buzzwords ("Smartflash", "NVFlash"), and you'll find plenty of guides.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] SolidAudio:
Ok.. I will try.. Thanks again :D
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
So I installed 401 and my backups are about 15mb to 120mb and not the usual 350mb or so... i lost all my settings because im not able to restore even a old backup when downgrading cwm again....

i also have about 13 apps which i can not rsstore with titan and are not visible in the markt at all. searching the market does not find them either....

so did i do something wrong when backing up/ restoring my system? it used to work like that for a long time now...

and how can i fix that i dont see any of my apps in the market and why cant i install some of them?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
If your backups are that small I qould expect that something failed.

Have you had a look at the log?
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
you mean the log in cwm while the backup is in progress? if so, yes and there was nothing that said it failed or so, it progressed as always, it also took about the same time.

i could fix the market problem, not sure if it was because i reinstalled the old market or just wiped cache and dalvik again.

i did a backup now with 4.0.9 from rom manager (is this version safe to use? does restore work?) and the backup is about 730mb so i guess that it works again.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yeah should be no problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] SolidAudio:
Smartflash dind do it, but NVFlash worked fine.. Now its up and running again.. Thanks :)
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
any idea why the backup was incomplete?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Not really, thinking about it, should have looked at the .img files and checked the individual sizes.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
i had 3 different backups, one about 350mb (120mb data.img thats the one i acctually remember) and 2 others backups about 15mb and 20mb or so and now the backups are about 750mb with ~350mb data.img.

damn i wanted to take some screenshots of the img files:/ i could try if it happens again with the 4.0.1 if that helps in any way.

EDIT: well i just tried it again and here are 2 screenshots to see the difference of the backups:

first one is with 4.0.0.9 and the 2nd one with 4.0.1 this one turned out pretty big but Android.img is missing in the 2nd backup which are the 200mb that are missing. maybe i can reproduce a 15-20mb backup at some point...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yeah they look fine, the Android.img is missing because support for it was dropped.
[LG Optimus 2x] emprize:
with the 4.0.1.0, when i do a backup, it say cant mount /data, anyone has idea?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
What ROM are you using?
[LG Optimus 2x] emprize:
cm7 .82, cm stock kernel with universal ext4 converter
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Hmmm EXT4.

I wonder if I forgot to re-enable it after the new recovery.fstab was commited. Will look into that.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
hmm so the Android.img is not where the os settings are saved? because when i restored a backup like that i ended up with the first configuration as if i wiped the system... o_O
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Nope, settings are in data.img with apps n stuff.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Can you try with 4.0.1.4 and see if you get the same message. If I was right, it will be gone.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
I installed the new recovery not using a computer but android terminal and 'dd'. Wondering if you could provide a simple shell script to do that instead of typing it. I do not get my laptop home on weekdays to force myself away from it. Hence need phone to be self hosting. Thanks for providing us the updates.
[LG Optimus 2x] diaramja:
Hello Rusty,

since 4.0.0.8 you recovery version doesn't mount my external SD (microsd). I use external version but It only mounts internal SD.

Any idea??

P.D: I tested 4.1.0.4 version too
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
There was a change to the recovery.fstab file that caused the internal SD to mount if the external one isn't detected, my guess is that's what's causing the issue.

I might drop it from the next build as you're not the only one to mention that.
[LG Optimus 2x] diaramja:
Thank You, ETA for the new version? ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Might fire out a proof of concept build in the morning ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
And here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/file/s6a38hh3hs8d3ue/diaramja.zip

No change other than to remove the fall back to internal SD.
[LG Optimus 2x] SpikeNansid:
Hey Rusty. I just installed v.4.0.1.4 . Seems to me like "Wipe Battery Stats" in Advanced menu does not work or at least it doesn't produce any printout. I tried to see if there was wrong ordered choices, but the no above and under "yes, wipe..." worked the same way (as they should).

Spike
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It works fine, there is just no output.
[LG Optimus 2x] SpikeNansid:
Ok, all fine then! :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] gliew_87:
how about vibration issue? still exist? any feedback?
[LG Optimus 2x] Etchelon:
I'm using 4.0.1.0 and got the "back menu button disabled" issue a couple of times so far.

In every menu, "back" disappears, and softkeys are enabled. Their press causes you to navigate back in the menus (with back softkey), move up and down in the list (with settings softkey). The only thing to do is to pull the battery. What's that? And above all, was it fixed in .1.4?

Thanks Rusty :D

Btw, who makes the official CWM? I always used yours...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I remember having that ages ago, but not recently. Seemed to happen if the softkeys were used a lot.

I remember getting round it without pulling the battery though, must have been persistent with it. Or I have a faulty memory, one is as likely as the other.

Anyways, is it fixed? No idea. Probably not :D

The official ones are from Koush, who does both the recovery and ROM Manager.
[LG Optimus 2x] emprize:
it works now
[LG Optimus 2x] ilos:
i actually made a nandroid backup with 3.2.0.0 version so if i upgrade too latest version 4.0.1.4 , did i risk some troubles if i want to make a nandroid restore ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Should work OK, try it and see?
[LG Optimus 2x] ilos:
yeah before posting question i must give it a try :D

i revert asap ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] diaramja:
Thank You but ... It doesn't work E:Can't mount /sdcard

Well, I will use internal SD for now
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
For some reasons certain types of sdcard requires a power down then boot to recovery to be recognized. Cwm can't change that, at least not that I know of.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yeah it's a weird thing all right. Does seem to be some sort of random incompatibility between card and phone.

Makes me nervous as I am considering upgrading my 8GB card ;)

Annoyingly I did upgrade it to 16GB just before getting the O2X, and then sent it back as the extra 5.5GB on board would do the job. Shame it's quite useless on CM really.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Both my 2 colleagues' sdcard also requires to power down and boot to recovery to be recognized. And their cards from Kingston 16gb class 4 and sandisk 16gb class 4.

Best part is my sdcard bought off eBay 16gb class 10 has no issues. It is an unknown brand at least compared with kingston and sandisk.
[LG Optimus 2x] diaramja:
ok but all versions between 3.2.0.1 to 4.0.0.5 mounted my external SD
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
@Rusty!

Looks like next compile will be named "CWM-based Recovery" instead of "ClockworkMod Recovery". I feel its the right thing to rename it since user compiled recoveries are unofficial releases, aka CWM KANG.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yeah that makes sense to me, make a clear distinction between the official and our hackjobs ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Just compiled CWM.....cute :)

CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.4
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Not that it's difficult to change that to whatever the hell you like, but I'll be leaving it as that I think.

Maybe add a "by Russ" or something to it to differentiate.

Edit: Actually I probably wont, as I am far too lazy to edit the file after each sync :D
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Hehe.......... I will never change anything inside. Like I said b4 if get started will get hooked then next will be starting out a building a ROM (modifying than building) like many does.....kinda deviate from my fun. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I only do the bare minimum really, I reckon less than 50 characters goes into the changes I make to this.

Takes 3 #'s to change the splash back to the orange A N D R O I D for example.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
hey i think i found out why a while back i got that small backups (15/20mb), i just did a backup and only had about 400mb free and the complete backup needs about 750 or so and there was no message that the backup failed or there was not enough space.

everything looked normal but the backup was a lot smaller than usual.

maybe the same thing happend with the tiny backups i got a while ago.
[LG Optimus 2x] Marsou77:
When I install CWM 4.0.1.4 with the .bat, I have "Failed to set prot mask (inappropriate ioctl for device)" it's important ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
If you're already rooted, probably not.
[LG Optimus 2x] Marsou77:
With other release of CWM, it didn't show that... why ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No idea, nothing apart from the .img has changed.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Hi,

I can't anymore install CWM. In Windows or Linux, each time I run the .bat or .sh script, adb says that the device is not found.

I had internal version installed and wanted to install ext one to burn GB, and the only solution I had was to install 4.0.0.9 from ROM Manager to have the correect ext version. Besides that installation of GB wasn't successful so I reverted to Froyo.

As it occurs both in Windows (XP and Seven) or Linux, on different computers, I can't figure out what it can be.

Till now all was working normally, on the same computers, with the same ROM (Slick 2X Froyo). I verified, debugging USB is ON, phone is rooted....

Any tips ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Type 'adb devices' and see if your phone is being recognised by the computer it's attached to.

I suspect not.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Yes I should have been more precise, adb devices don't show any phone attached.

If I run adb device when the phone is in Recovery it is detected but I'm not sure it's the good way to proceed (I didn't try to flash), and before I didn't need to do that.

Perhaps it's an app installed on the phone that interferes ? I'll try to see if it can be that.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
If you're really stuck you can flash it from the phone from a terminal using dd.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Yes thanks worked well, but the adb problem is still not resolved... No matter will try another time from a new ROM if I manage to flash Gr1 with SIM detection working, or BlazinDragon that I didn't manage to flash with 4.0.0.9 from Rom Manager.

Thanks

EDIT: With a new ROM (Slck 2G 4.3.4) ADB works again, so there was some corruption in my system probably.
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
on my device i have problems with my usb port,so i can't install a new recovery.

someone know how to flash it by terminal emulator? i don't remenber the command to use...

thx
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
If you open the .bat file you'll find it ;)

dd if=/pathto/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
this should work....

$su
#mount -o rw,remount /system
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

#reboot recovery
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No that wont work, the O2X doesn't use MTD. Also why are you remounting /system? It has nothing to do with this?
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
in this case i don't know how to do...

i have checked inside the bat file but i don't know which comand use from terminal emulator..

adb-windows push psneuter /data/local/psneuter

adb-windows shell chmod 4755 /data/local/psneuter

adb-windows shell /data/local/psneuter

adb-windows wait-for-device

adb-windows push clockwork-ext.img /data/local/

adb-windows shell dd if=/data/local/clockwork-ext.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7

adb-windows shell rm /data/local/clockwork-ext.img

adb-windows shell rm /data/local/psneuter

Those comands aren't for windows adb?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Look a few posts up, I said its the dd one you need to use.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Been a few commits over the past 10 days, so have churned out an "R2" release of 4.0.1.4
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
The best way is:

- copy the desired .img on you sdcard

- run a Terminal Emulator

- launch the Terminal Emulator, then type:

'su' (without quotes) and enter, it will runs the session as Super User.

then type:

'dd if=/pathto/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7', replacing /pathto/recovery.img by the path for where you put it, for example: /mnt/scdard/clockwork-ext.img for example. Use a File Explorer to see the correct path.

I've already done it it works perfectly. As your phone is rooted and as you make the stuf from the inside you don't need psneuter exploit, so ther's just one command to run.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Now with confirmation of battery stats wipe.
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Wow, didn't check this thread for a couple of weeks and the version numbers flew by. Do we have any outstanding issues with the latest version? (4.0.1.4 R3) I'm downloading it now and will use it to make a nandroid and flash the neoblaze froyo kernel.

I am coming from a really old recovery (4.0.0.5)
[LG Optimus 2x] gliew_87:
wonder when d vibration issue on certain o2x will be fixed? as temp using paul 4.0.0.5 no vibration issue... hoping getting new vers with no vibration issue
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
No problem using this.

And no vibration issue either.
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
This is now my default Recovery. Thanks Rusty!
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Uploaded new version.
[LG Optimus 2x] gliew_87:
haih still having vibration issue...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I can only assume if you've got it, it's never going away. Odd though.
[LG Optimus 2x] PYCON:
Great work, 4.0.1.5 works perfectly... :)
[LG Optimus 2x] baliriot:
yeay, a new one...:D
[LG Optimus 2x] fabioccoelho:
Works fine for me :D

Thanks :)
[LG Optimus 2x] el_charlie:
How can I upgrade to this new version??? Should I run the .bat like installing it for the first time???

Enviado desde mi LG-P990 usando XDA Premium App
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Yes...........
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
Cool, so this is now 2 in 1?

Internal as SD
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Sadly not, I can't get that to work, it's just both in the same package, you pick the install script of one you want.
[LG Optimus 2x] PYCON:
What about the advantages of installing CWM on the micro sd ?! :eek:
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Er, you can't install CMW on the micro SD.

There are 2 versions because one reads stuff from the internal SD card (so it works with ROM Manager on a stock based ROM) and one reads stuff from the external SD card (which is compatible with ROM Manager when using CM7).
[LG Optimus 2x] PYCON:
Ah ok man, with this release I can avoid to flash that ZIP that, on CM7 XX, make the swith of the memories ( internal <-> external ), right ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
If you're using CM7 then unless you've mucked about with the mount points, it's the external one you want.

If you want to much about with the mounts, then there is a script to do that in the nightly thread somewhere.
[LG Optimus 2x] PYCON:
Ok, sorry I'm italian, I've not understood but anyway I'll try it :)

Thx u :)
[LG Optimus 2x] K@Y@M@N:
I think it's appropriate to write in the first post a little explanation of the difference between the two versions, int and ext.

Tnx for your time!
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Sorry guys but what are the advantages of this one (3.2.0.1) over the 3.0.2.8?

I flashed but don`t see anything different, no more options as well.. Is it just a code optimization?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Softkeys navagations among other bug fixes.
[LG Optimus 2x] knzo:
Hum, I'm having a problem.

It shows me no errors when I flash something, but it doesn't really write anything on system.

Any ideas?
[LG Optimus 2x] stevvie:
I see the date error isn't fixed in this version. It STILL labels my backups 1 month behind. Just did a nand backup and it's labeled 2011-05-07.00.49.35 but should have been labeled 2011-06-07.01.49.35, so now it's 1 month and 1 hour out of time. WHY ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
That's bizarre, mine flashes just fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] Brmm_:
I can't seem to find the sdcard.

it says: Can't mount /sdcard.

Should I make a backup with usb, try to format it and put everything back? What ext should I use?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
In what context? You don't need ext anything on these as they have so much free space on /data.

Can you make backups and browse for .zip files?
[LG Optimus 2x] Brmm_:
It's the first time I do this, so it might be my fault.

I just installed CWM on my o2x and first thing I wanted to do was to make a nandroid backup and that what it says, nothing else.

"Can't mount /sdcard"

I also put a custom rom on the SDcard with my USB cable, and tried to "install zip from scard" and it's the same thing.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
OK, this is going to be a silly question, but as it's your first time it might be relevant.

Do you actually have an SD card in place, as the O2X doesn't come with one, you have to find your own. If not, then install the 'internal' version for now.
[LG Optimus 2x] Brmm_:
So, the 8GB is internal ??

Wow I feel stupid now, going to install the internal version, thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yes it is.

You get 8GB, which is (approx.) split up as 1.5GB /data, 350MB /system, 5.5GB /sdcard + plus a few MB here and there for boot, recovery, cache and lgdrm (whatever is on there).
[LG Optimus 2x] ludow:
It's known bug for O2X that it doesn't detect external microSD card.

Which happens very often. That's why ppl get "Can't mount /sdcard".

Power off device properly,then give it three fingers to get recovery. This way

external microSD is detected more easily. I use external, cause I have more space there.

Thanks Rusty for the updates! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] gliew_87:
it's kinda weird, only when using paul 4.0.0.5 i having no vibration issue... wonder why:confused::confused::confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Interesting, he must have tweaked something I guess.
[LG Optimus 2x] traxxus:
Can anyone help me?

I installed CWM 4.0.1.4 R2 on external SD.

When im try to wipe dalvik cache, the log says:

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 on /sd-ext failed: No such file or directory

rm can't remove 'sd-exz/dalvik-cache': no such file or directory

Dalvik cache wiped.

:confused::confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I'm guessing you don't have an SD-EXT partition, hence the error. Should still have wiped it OK though. Easy enough to check with ADB (or just do it and see if the phone is slower to boot up).
[LG Optimus 2x] traxxus:
What mean's "i don't have an sd-ext partition"?

Did i need to create it? Or how i can get rid of this error?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Just ignore it.

You can create one if you want, but most people wont need it.

about cwm and rom manager

hi guys, on my lg o2x i have cwm 4.0.0.9 (installed with rom manager), all works fine but i want to update cwm to 4.0.1.5 and so i have some questions for you:

- why rom manager doesn't have cwm 4.0.1.5 as latest version?

- if i install cwm (internal version), when i try to install cyano nightly, cwm skip to install update...with cwm (external version) i don't have this issue

- i'm download cwm 4.0.1.5 img but when i try to install it with rom manager, button "install alternative recovery" is disabled...how can i enable it?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] ker0ltjuh:
I need help. recovery says that there are no files on my sd card but im sure i have some zips there can some 1 help me?

CWR 5.0.0.8 is up for grabs via Rom Manager .....
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
5.0.1.0 actually ;)

Guess I'd best make some new versions shortly then, I only checked for new commits yesterday as well.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
With the bumps so quickly, I bet there are tons of bugs. Also I think the source for CWM5 is not available yet....I think.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yeah just checked git, it's not. Sync fails due to network problems at the moment anyway.
[LG Optimus 2x] biasquez:
issue with new cwm

yesterday i installed cwm 5.0.0.8 and i made a backup...today, i made a restore of this backup because i tried a new rom...cwm restore all apps except 10-15 games installed on microsd...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Might explain why .10 was released, sounds like it wasn't backing up/restoring .android_secure properly.
[LG Optimus 2x] biasquez:
you are right...with cwm 5.0.1.0 restore is fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] akshay_1991:
Someone please get me out of this mess.

I tried flashing the latest vorkkernel using vorkkernel updater (ROM-> CM7.1 nightly 112). On rebooting, the phone got stuck on the boot animation logo (It still is). I think i messed up the screen pixel density. I set it to 340 like a mad person :o

I tried booting into recovery mode using Power+Vol down as usual and the phone keeps going to software update mode. I don't get the CWM screen AT ALL.

What i did-

I tried flashing the file install-clockworkmod-linux.sh but the terminal says "No device found" Debian gets started and it goes to No Device found. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10.

Any way out of this?

Edit- I was using cwm version 4.0.x.x (I don't remember it specifically)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
You could try: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1229407
[LG Optimus 2x] akshay_1991:
Can i do this? -

I find someone with a windows machine and use kdz updater or equivalent and downgrade to 2.2 (Stock rom) and then flash CWM and re-install CM7?

Also, is there any chance of me bricking my device incase of a dowwngrade? I've read about this in other phone' threads.

Anyway, thanks a lot for such a quick reply :)

Hey guys how do I install this version of cwm do I just do it like a rom? Install zip ? from the latest version of cwm I'm running?
