if i want back to ext3 from the ext2 and use backup with ext3 will above atachment will help me?

And one other question, my buckup now with ext2 and hp preformace pack stops on /data. Just it says it can't backup data.. no error number or sth?
[LG Optimus 2x] biasquez:
i installed cwm 5.0.2.7 (external version), i did a backup on internal sdcard ( mnt/emmc) but i see that android_secure_vfat.tar missing...why? is it important this package?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Same happens to me, I guess it's not all quite worked out yet. As to whether it's important... it contains the apps you've installed on the SD card.
[LG Optimus 2x] kitty's_daddy:
I'm using modded CWM 5.0.2.7 with only one cwm.img for su660 that was built by someone in my korean forum.

This supports both int/ext sdcard and works fine (even advanced retoring).

Would you mind merging both imgs?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
According to git, advanced restore has been fixed today (15 mins ago), so I'll get that built and hosted at some point today.
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
Superb :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Advanced restore now working again.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
thx rusty for R2
[LG Optimus 2x] rdewa:

[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No, different recovery.fstab for a start.
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
just flash it over the old one....?thru CWM? for the new updated on...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Just run the .bat file and flash it over an older version.
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
Hiii Rusty,

Could not understand this...after rooting my device, I had downloadd ROM manager and then through that, had got the CWM downloaded and flashed tht....how do i run the .bat file? Can you please let me know....sorry for troubling u and asking a noob question...

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Double click on it.
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
I have two .bat files in the zip file...int-cwm and ext-cwm.bat files....which one or both? connect the phone to laptop and then run one by one? or copy to the device and run?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Take your pick, internal or external. Difference is explained in the OP.
[LG Optimus 2x] baliriot:
Currently using the internal option to avoid sometime external sd card not mount when boot to recovery... now placing all the flashable zips in emmc and flashing for fun! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] hesian:
I have just upgraded from 5.0.2.0 to 5.0.2.7 Ext and I have the vibration issue during CWM for both releases.

Did anyone ever workout how to fix this or why it only affects some ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No idea why it happens, thus no fix I'm afraid.

[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yes, that's the point of making them ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] rmein:
Just wondering if anyone else has encountered my weird CWM bug.

When booting the phone into CWM using the power + volume keys, whenever I let go of the power key it selects whichever menu item the cursor is on.

It all still works so long as I remember to move the cursor off the "reboot phone" before letting go of the power key, but is still a bit of unnecessary hand gymnastics.

This bug has persisted through NVflashing to phone back to original firmware, updating it to gingerbread with the LG update tool, and reinstalling CWM using both ROM manager and Rusty's installer.
[LG Optimus 2x] mind_challenge:
Happens to me also. I'm using 5.0.2.0 installed from ROM manager.

Also, how to install this latest 5.0.2.7 from first post?
[LG Optimus 2x] Ravensysteam:
Just Press Power+Volume Down, then release Power when the "other" Lg Logo Pops up (the one which comes after the plain white one) but KEEP PRESSING the Volume Down Button. Works fine for me, as you have like 5 seconds before the recovery actually pops up.

Greetings
[LG Optimus 2x] rmein:
I had a dig around in the code at github, and it looks like CWM is getting confused into thinking none of the buttons is mapped to SELECT (search is), and so it maps the power button to the SELECT action as well.

I'm a bit of a noob so I'm afraid I can't quite figure out how CWM tries to find out what buttons the phone has or suggest a fix.
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
As long as your download 5.0.2.0 for the Optimus 2X from Rom Manager, those wierd button errors should go away.

Once I had 5.0.2.0 from manager, that's the best time for me to apply 5.0.2.7 from Rusty!

Now, you should be able to just press "Boot to Recovery" from Manager. But if you wanna do it the old fashioned way, you could do Power + VolDown from off state. But, as soon as you see the alternate LG logo (it's the one with small blue hues behind the LG logo), you should let go of both power and volume. The device will normally boot into CWM, without selecting or moving anywhere.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Perhaps read the first post ?
[LG Optimus 2x] mind_challenge:
Ok, so I read the first post. When I run that batch, it says device not found. Every time. I installed all the drivers (when I connected the phone windows installed them automatically). Do I need to use some other drivers?
[LG Optimus 2x] RohanAJoshi:
when i installing this, the command prompt opening closing quickly.

i m using internal sd cwm.

plz tell me how to install and launch cwm from this ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It will open and close pretty quickly, it doesn't do a lot.

You boot into CWM the same as any other version.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
I have really an annoying problem.

It seems that each time I try to use nandroid backups with titanium backup for example, or AppExtract, I have a md5sum mismatch from within cwm that prevent restoring process.

Is that possible?

BTW I changed to latest 5.5.x version last night but problem could still occur .

I read somewhere that you can bypass the md5sum problem?
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
do you have by any chance the bravia hack installed? i got that problem 2 times now and needed a clean install and titan restore to get it working again.

im now running without bravia and will install it sometime next week to see if the symptoms come with it or not.

an other thing about cmw, i sometimes enter some strange mode in cmw where the buttons do some strange stuff, instead of selecting it enters a blank screen and i have to pull the battery to reset it. any idea how this mode is toggled?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It's not a special mode, it's just a bug I think. Happens after a lot of button presses.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
In my ROM Bravia hack in included yes...

But I really thought that mismatch came after those file access I mentioned above, but maybe a coincidence.

BTW I came back to this version as ,5.5.0.4 seemed very buggy.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Could this be a problem of timestamp? When titanium or appextract access the nandroid files perhaps they change the timestamp and md5sum isn't the same anymore...

When I have those mismatch the check and response of cwm is almost instantaneous, it must be an obvious thing.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
CWM doesn't like spaces in the folder name, any of them will cause an MD5 error.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Gosh.... Thanks! I rename them forgetting old standards in *nix OS, that is no space....
[LG Optimus 2x] darklord408:
Will this new recovery version fix the vibrating issue when in CWM? I have this issue. Used the CWM included in Rusty's rooting method for the latest gingerbread release
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Probably never. Most people don't have it, so it's pretty difficult for it to be looked into.
[LG Optimus 2x] darklord408:
Thanks sir. i hope the issue could be found someday
[LG Optimus 2x] sUsH667:
hi!

first of all, thx for this uptodate build of the cwm-recovery!

i installed the cwm-ext version over the 5.0.2.0 version rom manager did install, and now when i am trying to do a backup it errors out before the backup of /data with message "error backing up /data", nothing more.

i've read about this specific problem several times in this thread and elsewhere but did not find a solution to this.

does anyone have a suggestion what to do or how to fix this?

many thx in advance and keep up the good work!

greetings,

sUsH

EDIT: i flashed cwm 3.0.2.7 with rom manager and now the backup completes without any error... so, am i stuck with this old cwm (without working touchkeys, had to use the volume rocker and power key, grmph) if i want to have working backups or is there another way to achieve this?
[LG Optimus 2x] sesa_nanta:
sorry all... i wrong posted... please don't mind my post....
[LG Optimus 2x] baltac:
Hi. I've a little problem to install latest recovery. I followed all the instructions given in this thread in several occasions (LG Drivers, debug mode, and launch the .bat file), but I ever get the same message:

I'm on DjangoManouche 0.6 spica, already rooted, and CWM 5.0.2.0 installed via ROM Manager.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Looks like you don't have a root prompt (#) when running adb shell.

Use the attached .bat instead, it will work round that.
[LG Optimus 2x] baltac:
Thanks. In this way works like a charm! :)

Now I just wondering why... Dunno if it is significant, but even in the device Terminal Emulator I must use the "su" command everytime to obtain root privileges...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
In terminal emulators, that's normal behaviour. It's only ADB shell that can have a root prompt by default.
[LG Optimus 2x] CaptainHook8:
I rooted my phone by using SOC 2.3.3 and test root was ok.....but i also needed these .bat files to get CWM installed.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Sorry guys, is the latest touch recovery internal or external version? If I flash it can I access my sd card? Cheers
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No, touch isn't available for the P990 as yet, but RC has just tweeted that it's coming soon.
[LG Optimus 2x] withoutwings:

Don't have it so I cannot give it , but I think 5.8.1.3 is also good for use with only internal SD.

Try it , if not just flash the other one back.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I've never had mine not recognised :)

At least in this case it appears to have been caused by a total lack of micro SD :D
[LG Optimus 2x] 19chaosnik:
after a long while of thinking to flash it..... i tried it, but when i enter recovery with power + vol down it shows me no android, it shows me a lg symbol and it always is vibrating in the recovery so i didn´t flash a custom ron until now.

what can i do? should i try the indernal one?

sorry 4 my bad english
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yeah I should probably mention this shows a blue LG logo, that's fine. For no apparent reason, some people's phones vibrate in recovery, it's happened on every version that I know of, and no-one seems to know why.

You can still flash though.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Hi,

in the OP is says "The internal version of the recovery mounts the internal storage as /sdcard as well..."

Does this mean that /_ExternalSD and /sdcard are both mounted on /sdcard?

If so, are they both mounted to the root of /sdcard?

I think the more likely scenario is "instead of" rather than "as well as" but I though I would check first...

Tks.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yeah it mounts it instead of.

The external card is mounted as /sdcard/_ExternalSD, but you can't browse it.

[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Unzip the file to your pc and u will understand better.
[LG Optimus 2x] fifi139:
u must have installed driver so that windows can recognize ur phone. In the device manager you'll see "ADB" it means the driver is installed properly and win can communicate with ur phone. Then u unzip the cwm and run the .bat file.

that's it. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] blu3angel:
I've tried installing the latest ClockworkMod 4.0.0.2 for external sd card and everything goes fine... However when i've tried to do a backup of my rom it came up with an error saying ( can't mount /data! )... Am i doing something wrong here?

Questions???

Since this is a thread for Recovery i have some doubts related to it

1) I made the Rom backup for my LG stock rom 2.3 way back and currently i am on Temasek's cm7Kang + Vadonka's Kernel , I want to flash my stock rom backup for one day for testing and come back to my present Cm7 kang Rom after that, is it as simple as "formatting data and installing the roms back and forth " from CWM coz i am not sure about the ext3 and ext4 file systems thingy ?

2) will the backup i make for my current cm7 kang rom from cwm include the apps too ? and what about the data for the games i have downloaded, it will be removed once i wipe data and factory reset my phone from cwm while installing stock rom , will that game data be included in the backup i made of my current cm7 from cwm earlier?

and if not how can i backup that game data to bring my phone to the same point like it's now after coming back?
[LG Optimus 2x] forforce:
Hi to all, I want to install a new kernel with my stock rom and as I see for that I need CWM-based Recovery 5.0.2.7-R2 , my phone is rooted no problem but my question is that if I need to send my phone to service ,I will restore my backups and unroot it via SuperOneClick , how can I get my stock Recovery back? Is it possible?. Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
1) Almost that simple, yes. You need to flash a backtoext3 converter before restoring your original backup, as CM7 uses ext4 for the system-partition.

2) Yes. The backup includes everything you need: the boot-image including kernel (boot-partition) the firmware/OS (system-partition), user-apps, settings and data (data-partition). The only iffy part may be apps installed on the SD-card. To be absolutely sure move all apps to internal storage before backup. (This step is more than likely not needed, but it's good practice to have a complete backup and not have files dangling here and there.)

EDIT: As for downloaded game-data, unless you format your sd-card (or move or delete the data in any way), the data will still be there when you come back to CM7.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

Stock recovery image here.

...or smartflash a stock firmware (they all include the stock recovery) before returning it.
[LG Optimus 2x] prabhjitsinghwalia:
Thanks for ur reply !

a) tell me one thing , the game data that i download is stored in Android/data folder,right?

So will that folder be effected when i switch my roms from my current to stock and then back to current after i wipe out and do factory reset from cwm?

b) if it will be is there anyway i can preserve it, like copy the Android\data folder and paste it again later on ?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Not necessarily. The Android/data-folder is the apps' "external directory." If a game downloads additional data it's up to the game itself where to put the data, gameloft-games for example will put its data in a folder named "gameloft" on the root of your primary sd-card, other games will download to a "data"-folder on your sd-card root, and again other games put content in other folders (usually naming the folders similarly to the app-name, but not always.) The difference is that data in Android/data will get deleted when uninstalling an app.

CM7 uses the external card as the primary SD-card, while Stock uses the internal one as the primary. Therefore one firmware will not interfere with the system-folders of the other (unless you switch mount-points in CM.).

Sure, you can do this for extra security, along with ".android_secure" (apps on sdcard) and other directories containing downloaded data.

EDIT: Corrected locations.

I have a problem with constant vibration in CWM, and I was runing the latest CWM 5.0.2.7-R2 along with CM7 temasekKANG.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063756

mewtwo68d posted a link to 4.0.0.5-modaco-2x-clockworkmod which appears to be the latest CWM, that does not constantly vibrate my 2x. It installed fine, and runs without vibration. Problem now is I can't do a CNW managed backup, errors with...

Can't mount /system!

What is the fix to use this old CWM on my current setup ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
How could that be the latest version when it starts 4 and this thread is about v5?

I would suggest that it's not keen on EXT4, in which case you're boned.
[LG Optimus 2x] hesian:
I actually said 'appears to be the latest CWM, that does not constantly vibrate my 2x'.

Would a format of the SD card, back to EXT3 work ? or must it be EXT4 ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It's the comma that's making what you said wrong, but I now see what you mean ;)

It's not the SD card that's your problem (if I'm right), but the /system (and probably /data as well, possibly /cache) that will be throwing it off.

It's something that happens to a few people for no known reason.

Downloaded, but totally confused as what the heck to do with this?

I see a load of files... what am I meant to do with them? (I'd like to recover from internal memory rather than an external SD - unless that's considered unsafe?).

EDIT: Actually, I ran the bat file for internal windows.... rebooted phone and just got a constant LG logo :-( (I had just rooted as well with superoneclick).

EDIT2: Actually.. I have merely managed to reset my phone, no CWM was present that I saw :-( Bizarre.

EDIT3: Ok.. need some advice.. all that happens is it resets the phone back to factory :-( Appears the CWM isn't running right? USB debugging selected, and I've tried the internal and external batch files.
