Are you getting the stock recovery screen now? and the cmdline=7 message?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
That is what he was getting. But he was able to fix w/ the help of imnuts. I'm sure he will post the steps and files to fix, whenever he gets a chance.
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
Yes it will work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
Unfortunately, I had the opportunity last night to test whether the backup which I had created with this new CWM would work. I was running Froyo with GummyCharged and had a data problem. I tried to do a restore from CWM and it failed each time. It indicated that it couldn't umount system.

Had it worked, I was going to stay on Froyo for a bit longer, but I used this as the excuse to jump to the new GummyCharged GBE. That being said, I'd still love a working restore function. I run a Mac and having to go into bootcamp to use odin is a pain (not to mention I have very little space on my bootcamp partition and transferring over large odin backups is problematic).
[Verizon Droid Charge] nduanetesh:
I'm finding restore not working as well. I did a backup of gummyCharged, went over to Humble (Froyo version) and tried to restore back to GummyCharged the next day. The restore initiates OK, but shortly after the MD5s are checked, the restore fails with an error of "Failed to unmount /system" (or something very similar, I didn't write down the exact message). I tried manually unmounting system from the mount/unmount menu in CWM, and that failed as well with the same error message. I didn't have my computer handy, so I couldn't try unmounting /system in adb.

Hope this info helps. It would be awesome to have backup and restore working!

EDIT: Just checked it out again. The actual error message reads as follows:

E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system"

Error while formatting /system!

(This was in an attempt to restore GummyCharged while running GummyCharged.)
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
That's the same error message I got.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
I got a very similar error except it was failed to mount /data!

I got this after doing a CWM update from HUMBLE 1.2 to 1.3.

I tried a LOT of things and the only way to restore was to use the SamsungPST lite and do a full factory restore back to ED1.

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...harge-full-factory-tar-flashing-software.html

Good luck, I'll try to answer any questions as someone who banged my head against the wall over and over...

FYI I tried adb commands as well with no luck. Ultimately you need to repartition and the only way that worked for me is using the charge.pit with SamsungPST.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
I'll see if I can find the problem then. By any chance, do people with the error for /system have voodoo enabled or disabled?
[Verizon Droid Charge] suzook:
NO, I was running GB leak, with stock kernal. Im now on gummy 2.3.4.....still no system restore due to the unmount /system error i get. Thanks. Let me know if you need a beta tester, I have a backup phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
I was running Gummy Froyo with Voodoo kernel. Voodoo was enabled.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Has anyone successful restored their nandroid backup using the restore function in this newest cwr?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Glad that there were failures on both :( Just makes it that much harder to troubleshoot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
I had a successful restore using a test version. I know that doesn't really answer your question. I would have to say from the feedback that the answer is no.

That said, I did have a successful restore. I'm sure the issue with this build will be found and corrected.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schoat333:
I'm still getting the sd card mounting error. I'm not able to flash anything using CWR.

Here's a screenshot of the error I get when I input the command from the first post.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Haloman800:
Thank you!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] nduanetesh:
Yes, I had voodoo enabled at the time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schoat333:
*edit.

Figured it out. Had to use my OG Droid to format the 32GB SD card.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MitchTank:
Yeah Imnuts wanted to let you know I got two charges too, makes for an easy test with nothing hanging in the balance, let me know, if your unsure super alpha, I can help
[Verizon Droid Charge] joereist:
I'm new to the ADB thing, but I'm getting a message of 'failed' when attempting the umount command. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schoat333:
I'm getting the same error, and I'm trying to figure it out now.

I have an idea, but I want to see someones recover.rc file, that can mount the sdcard, to see if my theory is correct.
[Verizon Droid Charge] joereist:
I had a theory too.

Popped in the old SD card that came with the Droid, rather than my fancy class 10 Patriot, and CWM 4.0.0.1 was able to mount it with no problem whatsoever.

Soo..I'm going to backup my main files and reformat the faster SD card. Bet there's some nasty corrupted file or something on there that's giving CWM gas.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schoat333:
Good to know, I havent tried that yet, but I will now. Thanks for the tip.
[Verizon Droid Charge] joereist:
PS that didn't work. My Patriot SD card is no good for CWM I guess, even after clearing it off and trying fresh.

edit: The Patriot now won't mount in regular Android either, at least before it would. So...yeah not sure but perhaps the card itself was the problem.
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
How did you format the card? I had an issue with my stock 32GB card and when I formatted it under Windows 7, I chose 'Default Allocation Size' instead of the 4096k that was chosen for me.

Since doing that, everything has been great with the card.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schoat333:
Got mine to work. I used my OG droid to format the 32GB SD card, copied all of my data back onto it, and it worked like a charm.

Thanks for the idea. :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Updated the OP with a new download. Hopefully it fixes the problems people had with restore. Also adds in some more updates to recovery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Manjews:
So when I flash the newest version i get nothing but the damn banana when i try to do anything :/ Went back to 4.0.0.8 and everything (except restore) works fine
[Verizon Droid Charge] BeefJerky9:
Same here. Unfortunately I was stupid enough to delete the 4.0.0.8 version from my drive after downloading this one. Would someone mind uploading it somewhere? Thanks!

EDIT: I reinstalled the PBJ kernel and it put 4.0.0.8 back on there. Thank god!
[Verizon Droid Charge] KaneD20:
Same here. Flash 4.0.0.8 back. I have noticed, though, that if you go to advanced restore you CAN restore the data. It fails if you try to restore the system but, again, you can restore the data.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
It seems that the button mappings got screwed up with the last update, but I have no idea why as I didn't change anything related to that. I'll look into it then. Fix one problem only to create another it seems :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] KaneD20:
I'm sure you'll get it man. Keep up the good work and thank you for this stuff. Its almost there!!! :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] robrowald:
So is there a link to a version that the buttons work right, I get nothing but that damned banana when I hit the power button to select anything...
[Verizon Droid Charge] suzook:
He hasnt fixed it yet. go back to 4.0.0.8
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Isn't that how it always seems to go. We've got faith you'll get it fixed. quick question tho. I noticed in version 4.0.0.8 there is a "format /datadata ". I've never seen that before or I don't recall at least. Is it something new and somthing we need to concern ourselves with. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] robrowald:
I can't find a working download link for 4.0.0.8

EDIT/UPDATE: SO it appears that if you double click the power button and fiddle with the volume keys simultaneously you can get it to work. I got it to install a zip from the SD card that way, Banana Be Damned!
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
I have been able to navigate through most of the menus and flash a couple times. If you hit the home key you get the banana then hit power it brings up the proper menu and the buttons work like before power to select and back to back out. I haven't tried the backup/ restore but I will and report back.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Restore is still a no-go can't umount /system error:-(
[Verizon Droid Charge] ten mile stereo:
Damn this blue banana, first time trying to root and that b@stard ruins my night. Guess Ill wait untill its fixed. Thanks for everyone's hard work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MrMakeIt:
Death to blue banana

I will be having nightmares of this blue banana :eek:

Tonight was the night I was going to get all this sorted out, but I'll have to wait until this gets fixed.

I appreciate all your hard work!!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
If imnuts gives his permission, I could re-upload the 4.0.0.1 recovery. I don't have .8, but by flashing the PBJ kernel, you'll get that automatically.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Go for it. I'd re-upload it, but I don't think I have it anymore
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
I'm almost positive I have all your builds on my laptop at home. I'll take a look tonight when I get home. If so I'll re-post 4.0.0.8 for everyone for now until you get time to look things over on the current file you have
[Verizon Droid Charge] MrMakeIt:
Hope you can find it -- I have got to get this a custom kernel and ROM on my Charge ASAP --- the battery life is atrocious
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
I posted this in the kernel thread,

Yeah. Here is what you do. Scroll to the menu to your selection, then press home( banana will appear) then press power, and the new menu will appear. After you are off the main menu just use power and back buttons to flash then return to main menu where you will have to press home then power to reboot.

Cheers
[Verizon Droid Charge] monkeychef:
Can someone tell me how to put this on my uncles phone. Maybe a link or something?
[Verizon Droid Charge] MrMakeIt:
Screw that blue banana

THAT WORKS man you rock!! You are a scholar and a gentleman

Thanks again

Quick question: I rooted the phone with Odin and would like to update to the new CWM version. I have the yellow font now. Do I just flash this through recovery or do I have to Odin again?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
Odin always for .tar files. CWM for .zip files
[Verizon Droid Charge] nighteyes_wolf:
So with 4.0.1.0 can we now safely backup/restore the EP1F roms?
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrewjt19:
Successfully BACKUP through CWM on Charge

I have successfully backup up my rom (I'm running Altered Beast), but haven't tried restoring it though. So I don't know if it would work. But I have bricked ,y Droid Charge numerous times and simply reflashed it through ODIN with new ROMS/kernels with no problem. You lose all your data though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
The restore still doesn't work. But it doesn't brick your phone, it just gives the error can't umount /system.
[Verizon Droid Charge] timgt:
I thought I remembered reading somewhere that restore doesn't work but advanced restore does?
[Verizon Droid Charge] KaneD20:
Yeah, I've gone into advanced restore and am able to restore the data but if you mess anything up in the system... Its time to Odin. BUT at least the data is backed up and it SEEMS that it can be restored (I've done a data restore and it went through w/ out causing any problems). It seems that the CWM 4.0.1.0 is SOOOO close to being fully functional. :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Here is a copy of the 4.0.0.8 CWM Imnuts had out before this last release. hopefully this will help out folks until Imnuts's takes a look at the current file posted.

Just unzip the file and then flash via ODIN like always
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Thanks for posting
[Verizon Droid Charge] luvtorev:
I just rebooted the phone into recovery for the first time because I wanted to backup a current rom but there is no backup/restore option. Is this right? I just got the phone like 2 days ago and rooted and flashed gummycharged GB and wanted to try a different rom tonight but can't backup. Is there a way to back outside clockword mod?

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nighteyes_wolf:
there is this, making your own ODIN image: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1082288 there is also a pay for app on the market that does that but this is free heh. be careful and make sure to follow ALL directions or any attempt is rendered mooooo
[Verizon Droid Charge] luvtorev:
Thanks for the link. Looks good but i think I'll just wait for the clockwork mod to be 100% functional. GB gummycharged is working out great so far, i just wanted to flash something new and its good to know there is a way to backup.
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Not a problem. Meant to do it earlier but some stuff came up and I kinda forgot until yetserday.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Echo5Kilo:
I just attempted a restore and everything went great. Was running Humble and restored back to GummyCharged just to see if the restore function worked. I can confirm for my device, that it works.
[Verizon Droid Charge] KaneD20:
What version of CWM are you using?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Echo5Kilo:
I'm running v4.0.0.8
[Verizon Droid Charge] lsmagill:
CWM Voodoo Lagfix recovery v4.0.1.0--options not working

I am trying to disable lagfix, but when I boot into recovery using button sequence, I do get the CWM menu (blue text). when I scroll(with vol buttons) and select(with power button) voodoo or any option for that matter, I get a caricature of a blue banana with legs and arms. Nothing happens. I press power again and gets 'stuck' and I have to pull battery to reboot.

I do have voodoo after confirming with Quadrant (score 1452)

[Verizon Droid Charge] K.AuthoR:
Does anyone else have issues getting this to work on the E1PF Gingerbread leak? I flash it through ODIN and it always comes up with the stock recovery. Am I doing something wrong?
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
It doens't work with the GB build from my understanding. Any GB build by a dev should already have CWR built into it for use tho
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Flash the earlier version I posted in post #232 ( ie version 4.0.0.8) and everthing should function correctly. Or as stated above you can follow the info in post #222 as that works also.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pboy207:
So there are issues with this new version. Is it not working correctly? I have the newest version on my phone and it seems to hang on the blue banana no matter what option I chose. Is that what everyone else is experiencing?

Edit... I see this is the issue everyone else has. I sure picked a great time to begin flashing ROM's. First I flash a ROM that was suppose to include a CWR but didn't so I was stuck on samsung boot screen. Then I flash the newest CWR, only to see the damn blue banana taunting me.. lol. My timing couldn't be better. Anyway thanks everyone for their hard work with these ROMs and kernals.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
It likely doesn't work with the GB build if you are using the stock GB kernel as the stock kernels will reflash recovery on every boot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GrainOsand:
Keep scrolling down while in CWR, Until a message pops up that says "BACK BUTTON ENABLED"! After that all options will work and blue bannana will be gone. It should continue to work on subsequent boots. Atleast that unlocked it for me. Kinda strange but it worked!

I was hoping my CWR problems were gone with my fassy, I guess not eh?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dhp106:
Yeah I had a class 10 patriot. Wouldn't mount in cwm but did in the os.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellisz:
I keep getting MD5 check errors trying to load the CWR through Odin. I have DL'd it 3 times. I am doing it with the battery removed. I had the same issue last night and then tried to Odin humble which as it all and it refused to boot and gave me a weird picture. I assume I soft bricked it? I was able to load EE4 and the pit file to get me back up and going. Almost afraid to do much more in Odin as I just got the phone yesterday. My first charge did not have any of these issues.

Well, I put the battery in while flashing and it appeared to work. Was stupid and forgot to uncheck re-boot. I assume when it boots, it overwrites the kernel so I will have to try again. Does it make sense that I would get the MD5 error and need the battery in for Odin to work?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
yes the stock kernel will overwrite recovery on boot. I always flash w/ the battery in now and haven't had any problems.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sinhumane:
so... flashed this... was getting that damn banana all the time... its a strange fix, and may be a repost, but when in a menu, scroll completely through it three times until back button is enabled.... had not a single issue after that at all.... maybe this will help someone. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
I've came across something odd. I odined EP1H bloated, so it's not rooted (everything stock, including kernel). Then, I odined this recovery, and it worked. I even rebooted my phone a few times.

Then I tried flashing a rom using this CWR, and it worked too. :eek:
[Verizon Droid Charge] dlang123:
What I Found when I used it.. was I would get the bananna, and other icons.. but when i would click the power button again.. it would take me into the correct menu.

Might want to try that.. it was almost like someone wanted to add some icons so that you would visually know what you were doing and then accept it too....
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
This works.

Sent from my Droid Charge running Humble 1.4
[Verizon Droid Charge] KaneD20:
I honestly never had any problems flashing it w/ EP1F. Did have a problem trying to navigate through the menu though. Have noticed that there seems to be a work around for that for the time being though. Has anyone tried to restore, or does it still say that it fails trying to mount the system?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Trying to fix recovery is on my list of things to do this weekend then ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] KaneD20:
Temp restore method

Ok, I've definitely confirmed this for myself by actually doing it. If you need to restore your phone:

1. Boot into CWM and (assuming you've already made a back up w/ CWM) wipe data/cache.

2. Flash the same rom you are using (I'm on GummyCharged 1.9.1). This will ensure the system data is installed from scratch.

3. After flash reboot phone and let it load up.

4. Skip google account set up and when phone completely boots reboot back into CWM.

5. Go to "Backup and Restore" --> Advanced --> and then restore data

It may take a minute but when it finishes your phones data will be restored to the state it was at the time of the back up. I'm fairly certain any custom Kernels would have to be reflased unless it was a part of the rom you flashed in the first place (have not confirmed this though).

Hope this helps until a working recovery works w/ CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Mean Bro Greene:
I had this problem and actually did the exact same thing, just trying to get it to work. Once it said back button enabled, everything was golden.
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrewjt19:
NEW CWM Errors

First I downloaded the new CWM (blue) and got the banana whenever I tried to do anything and then I download Humbles new GB odin and it had the blue edition in it working fine. I noticed the old CWM (red) had restore and backup which worked in the advanced mode.
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
What version is CWM in the ODIN version of Humble GB? If it is 4.0.0.8 that is why it is blue and DOESN'T have the banana problem. That said for anyone wanting a fully working CWM in blue check out post 222 or 232 as I posted the 4.0.0.8 version which is blue but DOES NOT have the banana prob
[Verizon Droid Charge] KaneD20:
Again, just another quick heads up for anyone still using 4.0.1.0 (the blue banana) if you scroll through the list 3 times a pop up comes saying "back button enabled" and CWM will work fine. Its a pain but it will work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Anyone have any thoughts. Really weird what happened to me jus tnow. I've had version 4.0.0.8 installed for ages now without issue. Today I wanted to do a more current backup of the ROM I have as I haven't done one in awhile. All went fine until reboot. Out of nowhere I get a msg saying the sdcard is damaged and needs to be reformatted. So for the heck of it I power off pull the card and reseat it. Reboot and I get the same thing. So then I decide to boot into recovery to see if it sees it there and I find it doesn't. It is not mounting it for whatever reason. Low and behold it dawned on me others have had this prob. SO I check the OP and tried to follow the instructions on fixing it hoping it would do the trick. However when I type "umount /sdcard" I get an error saying " can't umount /sdcard: Invalid argument "

Any thoughts or input on what is up or how I can fix it. I'd really hate to have to format it and loose everything I have on it. And even at that I don't know reformatting it will fix it to start with. So before doing anything I figured I'd toss this out there for all the gurus who may have some input. Thanks in advance for any help/input
[Verizon Droid Charge] aaronDroid80:
That's so random. Inside joke, perhaps. How did you even find out about that. Thanks, though...as I was a bit confused.
[Verizon Droid Charge] KaneD20:
Someone posted it earlier in this thread. I've tried out myself and it seems to work just fine. Hoping a full version is available soon. For now I've just downgraded to 4.0.0.8.

cwm navigation

Good God! I'm so glad I finally found this post! No one else tells you the proper sequence and I've been screwing around with it for hours! Thank you thank you thank you!
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Updated the OP with a new recovery (kernels coming soon). I'm no longer building based on the CWM Voodoo recovery and building just completely stock CWM, so if something isn't working, it is broken in CWM itself. The odin backup feature is still available, you just need to use it via ADB now by running "create_odin" from adb shell. The only thing not stock about CWM is it is using my background image, and the color is now orange, like stock CWM is as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] KaneD20:
So will we be able to flash through Odin if we are using the peanutbutter jelly time overclock kernel? I guess I wanna make sure that the only thing that gets overwritten is the recovery file and it doesn't mess anything else up.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Yes, I'll update my kernel threads later tonight with updates then, but this will do for most folks to hold them over :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Nothin' better than a new imnuts release in the morning!
[Verizon Droid Charge] senormoll:
damn it i just flashed this an hour ago lol

i just went back to 2.2 with the PBJ OBT...screw 2.3, I don't even understand the purpose of it
[Verizon Droid Charge] timgt:
How come restore is still broken? I get an error about unmounting /system during restore.

Errors says:

E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system"

Error while formatting /system!

This sucks, I flashed another ROM just to test this aspect of the recovery now I gotta start all over again.

Backup seemed to worked.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
If restore is broken, it is broken in CWM itself and not due to something I've changed. I am compiling directly from the source available from CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery. If anyone finds a fix, I'll gladly put it in place.
[Verizon Droid Charge] timgt:
I've used restore on every android phone I've owned so its not a cwm thing. This is the first phone that it doesn't work on.
