Odin keeps failing on this. I am on EE4, with the rooted voodoo EE4 kernel. Problem however, I cannot seem to do anything to the lag-fix in CWM. It says it is disabled, but there is no disabled file in the voodoo folder. Also, if I click enable, it does not enable the lagfix on the next reboot.

Every time I have tried to flash this CWR it gives me the phone linked to computer exclamation point picture. At this point I've been reflashing the EE4 rooted kernel, which gets me back to stock... any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
You are likely running the stock kernel. If you are, this will happen when you boot the phone normally. Flash a custom kernel or get rid of one or both of the files associated with reflashing recovery (/system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-<something>.p)

Flash a custom kernel that isn't stock.

I didn't make the post there, but I will see if JT can update his post to point here. And the instructions were posted as a precaution for SDCard problems as several people have had this problem since going to EE4 it seems.
[Verizon Droid Charge] uefcommad:
Imnuts i am trying to flash your kernal bt it says i have to have cwr in your post. do you have a odin image for the 6/2 PeanutButta Jelly Time ? thank you
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
Make sure you mount the partition as read/write. It's read only by default.

Root Explorer (paid) makes this easy. There are other ways, including the mount remount command, but you need to google the proper syntax.
[Verizon Droid Charge] v2.2v:
to add to your post....i think i successfully flashed CWM (it said passed in odin) but now how do i get into clockwork recovery so i can flash this kernel?
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
@imnuts - thank you for asking jt1134 to point his OP there, it will save a lot of people (well maybe) from asking where to get it.

@uefcommad - you press and hold down Vol. Up, Home and power buttons, when you get SAMSUNG on the screen let go of power and it should boot into CWM Recovery. Then flash your kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] uefcommad:
Copy the kernal to your sd card

Flash CWR with Odin

On first boot hold vol up and hme key with power till samsung screen

you will get into CWR

Then useing CWR flash the kernal

if you boot the phone and then try to go into Recovery you will get the stock recovery the Samsung Kernal will remove CWR.
[Verizon Droid Charge] v2.2v:
you are the friggin man! thanks again guys...veeeery excited now
[Verizon Droid Charge] v2.2v:
is there an easy way to boot into CWM? besides having to turn the phone off and doing the volume down+home+power...??
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
Here are a few apps in the Android Market:

Qucik Boot FREE

Fast Reboot Pro Paid

Hot Reboot Paid

EZBoot (Reboot) Free

Easy Reboot *Roo* Free

There are many, many more Android Market Reboot Recovery
[Verizon Droid Charge] MtnDewMan:
Does this fix the latest data wipe issue? Getting stuck on the .android-secure forever and requiring a battery pull?

Thanks

Chuck
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
Yes I believe so, imnuts removed the backup/recovery feature.
[Verizon Droid Charge] addictedhacks:
Wait im trying to understand what do the commands you have given us do??and also does this mean we still dont have a cwm with back/recovery? i have disabled vodoo lagfix and have this current cwm but even if i input those commands i dont get passed the second command? btw thanks for all the hard work and plz excuse my noobness
[Verizon Droid Charge] jami2976:
possibly...

I think the battery thing was me :D I posted that a couple of days ago after getting countless fails in odin, read a topic about laptop usbs not providing enough power and bam just decided to try it...also imnuts you replied to that post and advised me to reflash the kernel :D i appreciate all your hard work i still have my fassy and love all the work you have done on it not to mention all your hard work with the charge you rock !!
[Verizon Droid Charge] starvenmarven:
Any other way besides adb to get the sd mount fix? Never used it before :confused:
[Verizon Droid Charge] jraskal:
Keeps failing?

Am I doing something wrong if when i get to the step of Odin CWR and it keeps failing? I used the same USB port to flash ED1 many times without a hitch. It is a W7x64 laptop.

I came from Altered Beast v4, with lag fix

disabled lagfix

Odin Stock rooted ED1

D/l and install EE4

I'm stuck when I try to Odin this CWR
[Verizon Droid Charge] das7771:
id suggest you become familiar with some of the basic commands...it will save your @$$...its saved mine a few times
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
I had the same prob on my first couple of attempts and fyi I'm running the same OS on a laptop as well. Anywhoo to correct it I rebooted the laptop. Then close any and all programs that loaded on boot SPECIALLY anti-virus. Aftr that I open ODIN in administrative mode. When plugging the device into the comp to get download mode on the device so ODIN will flash it I used a different USB port. ONce it loaded the drivers again I proceeded to flash and it went threw just fine and I was good to go.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jraskal:
Thanks, a reboot, and different USB port finally did the trick
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Sweet glad it worked out for ya as that is what counts. Welcome btw no biggie just glad I could be of some help
[Verizon Droid Charge] jraskal:
Spent some time after a successful flash of CWR. For the like of me i couldn't get CWR to load.. Any ideas why? It sent me to regular recovery.

I've tried to start from ED1 to EE4 and tried to repeat the process. Some reason after my inequality successful flash, i can't get it to work since then.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
You have to boot directly to CWM after flash and install a new kernel, as the stock kernel will overwrite CWM on boot.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jraskal:
Thanks, I must have missed that step when reading how to do this. It works now. Also I just reread my post... sorry it didn't make sense. I didn't proof read it and I blame it on the text prediction :p Glad you could decipher what I was trying to say
[Verizon Droid Charge] Mikey450GT:
I could get it back into the main screen, but it came up with a sim card error and a new sim card would not make it work
[Verizon Droid Charge] zerosignal0:
Hey Guys,

So I was recently trying to apply this when I received the error mounting SDcard. So when I went to use ADB I have now found that I am receiving the following error after getting the shell prompt-

TOOLBOX Error 22

if I try to execute any commands its the same thing.

I have attempted with both my windows install with updated android sdk and my linux box with the same. Has anyone heard of this before?

One other thing that I would note is previously I did not have this issue and was able to both downgrade and upgrade with no sd mount problems and adb working.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
adb reboot recovery

Press and hold vol up+power+home (and keep holding). It will reboot the phone, and then take you into CWM. Release the power key when SAMSUNG shows up, and the other two keys a second or two later.

Yes, you should no longer get stuck on /sdcard/.android_secure

There is a bad symlink created for /sdcard, or something gets screwed up in the process of creating/deleting the symlink and it prevents the sdcard from being mounted. This just deletes the bad link and recreates a folder so you can mount the sdcard properly. And no, you cannot use backup or restore. I tried a fix, it didn't work, so Koush will have to fix it :rolleyes: Personally, I find Titanium Backup to be a much better method to move between ROMs.

No other way around it. I could put an option to do this automatically into CWM, but I'm not going to. It takes <30 seconds to run those commands and from what I've seen, it fixes it after you do it once. If you can't take 10 minutes to install and learn the basics of ADB to be able to flash stuff, which will also help you out with providing bug reports for ROM/Kernel issues in the future, I'm not going to spend an hour adding this to recovery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pestilent:
I just tried to flash this to my phone in odin and it failed. Now when the phone powers up it just shows a phone icon, yield sign and computer icon. So far I haven't been able to get my computer to recognize it. Has anyone seen this? any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
That's pretty standard when your recovery flash fails, usually due to a communication failure. Just try again. If it keeps failing (depending on what happens), you can try various tricks to get it to work. the first one below is what got it to succeed for me:

Mine was seeming to lose power and shut off halfway through, and here's how I fixed it. After Odin was loaded on the PC and the phone was in download mode, but before I started the flash, I inserted the battery. This kept the phone on through the process and it succeeded.

Try a different USB port (some people claim the back USB port works better for them, but that's very computer dependent).

If you're on a laptop, make sure it is plugged in. try a desktop if it continues to fail.

Try a different USB cable.

Make sure Odin is the only software running, and antivirus is disabled!

Redownload the Odin package, it may be corrupt.

Redownload the ROM/kernel/recovery, it may be corrupt.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
Did the update succeed, and are you able to get in to CWM? If not, try using Odin to flash it again. Also, what ROM and kernel are you using, stock?
[Verizon Droid Charge] pestilent:
Up until this point I had good luck with Odin. The problem is that I cannot get the phone into download mode. It just goes straight to a screen with three small icons (phone, yield, computer). I think my recovery partition may be hosed :(, but I'm hopeful there is a way to fix.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
That sounds like you're trying to boot the phone with the battery in. Don't forget, to get in to the download mode, you need to have the battery removed, be connected to your computer via USB, and hold only the Down Volume button for a few seconds. You shouldn't be able to get to the screen you are describing with this process.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pestilent:
Ok.. I just got it back into download mode. Not entirely sure how, but i'm going to re-flash

EDIT: after a mild heart attack, my phone is back up and running.

For some reason it refused to go into download mode when it first happened. I tried several combinations of vol-down and power button pressing (while the three icons were on screen) and it finally booted in. Thanks for the quick response chadness
[Verizon Droid Charge] ColonelSeitan:
So I'm in the process of flashing this from Odin, and Odin says all threads completed, but the phone still says: "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!" but in the middle says "download completed"

Also I placed the battery in after booting into download mode.

Should I continue waiting for something to happen?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
No, it's done. It's just a goofy screen - that message is always there whether or not you're downloading anything.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ColonelSeitan:
phew... ::wipes brow::

thanks for the quick response :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
I'm guessing you missed the following from the Flashing Tips section...
[Verizon Droid Charge] ColonelSeitan:
No I read that, but wasn't sure if complete was when Odin said complete or if the phone was supposed to say it was finished too. (My only previous experience with flashing in Odin, the phone turned off after it completed)
[Verizon Droid Charge] siphyn:
Can someone who is using this version of cwm check to see if their camera flash works ok in the stock camera app. My flash works great using the older cwm that contains the backup restore function. However, when I flash this using odin and I reboot as soon as i take a picture with the camera with the flash set to on it causes the phone to lock up. Thanks everyone.

Beamed from my SCH-I510
[Verizon Droid Charge] ColonelSeitan:
Just tried taking a picture with mine after installing GC1.5 and this, and flash worked just fine
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
This has nothing to do with your camera. When the system is booted normally, nothing related to recovery is running. If you're having issues with the camera, something else is to blame. I have no issues with GC1.5 and my kernel using the camera, flash being on/off/auto.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
If all you've done is flashed this, then rebooted, it also restored the original recovery. If you did something else (such as flashed a kernel or ROM), those would be more likely to blame, though I haven't noticed that issue with any of the ROMs I've loaded yet.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ahyiah:
had a 32GB class 10 sd. could not mount sdcard from cwm. formatted sd card and reflashed kernel from odin, no success

replaced class 10 card with original class 2 card. no more problems

not sure why this happens, i can still access the class 10 card from a card reader on my desktop and laptop, so for all intents and purposes, the class 10 card is fine.

just an observations, any thoughts?
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
That is wierd. I'm using a Class 10 32Gb card myself and haven't had any issues so far. First thing I did when I got the device is I pulled the class 2 out of it and put my class 10 in and have used it since.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MasterRy88:
I noticed in a different thread that someone said you had to be rooted in order to flash this properly. Is this true?
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
No. But if you don't boot direct to recovery after flash and flash a rooted kernel, the stock kernel will overwrite.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
That's backwards, you need to flash this to root. Well, you don't have to, but it's one path to rooting.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dabomb420:
CLASS 10 32gb seems FAKE ?i mean who manufactures it. i just never heard of anything of that size over class 4's which are hard enough to find, newegg, amazon etc i see only class 4 32gb from kingston, not sandisk, can i see a purchase link for a Micro sdhc class 6, 8 or 10 avaiable in 32gb forms, i would want one myself.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
Patriot makes them. Search on Newegg. People have been having mixed results with them so far.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ahyiah:
yeah its very bizarre for me too. on the class 10 card, i tried to unmount the /sdcard in adb and it still fails.

after i put in the class 2 card, cwm failed to mount the card but following the adb commands in OP fixed the issue. the adb commands didnt work for the class 10 card.

fyi, its the card made by patriot.

like i said before, the card still reads fine on my window machines, even formatted, making sure it was fat32. you think the card is still defective? i was using the class 10 card before on my phone already but i never tried to flash any .zip files from it until this version of cwm.
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Yep they are all over the place. I have a Patriot and also a Wintec in class 10. I've also got a couple of class 6 Kingston cards.

That said tho like you commented it is hit or miss on them working correctly. In my Moto devices nothing functions correctly at 32Gb, even a class 2. So it is a risk buying the faster ones to a degree and they are not cheap once you get up over class 4, but they are alot less then 6 months ago when you couldn't find one for under $125
[Verizon Droid Charge] jagri44451:
Is there a working cwm on the charge yet?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
This has been working fine for the past week. You just can't use nandroid backups (backup/restore function) and it doesn't show voodoo as being enabled, even if it is.

I'm sure we'll get a completely functional version soon, but the devs are working on alot of other projects and this works just fine for now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Backup/restore function is going to have to wait for Koush to find a fix, that could be anytime between now and never, and given that he doesn't have a phone, I'm going to go with closer to never :rolleyes: The voodoo detection is something I'll look into, but in the quick glance I had, I don't see what it isn't working. However, the important functions of CWM work, ROM flashing, Data Wipe, and Voodoo enable/disable. As I update CWM, I'll attempt to keep this updated. Look for updates on anything I have posted here to be few and far between for the next 2-3 weeks though, I'm moving and also traveling over that time period, so I have other things that I'll be doing instead.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Droid_ALM2ND:
Rooted with odin, flashed this recovery, all was well until I lost drag and drop for my sd card. The Charge seems to be protecting sd card after rooted. Switched sd cards and its the same issue. Anyway to disable?

Sorry if this is the wrong thread to be asking

EDIT: Fixed it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
Backup/restore from CWM is such an essential feature for those of us who root and like to tinker with our Android devices. For that reason, perhaps we could/should do something to get Koush a Charge. If he's interested, maybe we could start a thread to take up a collection to by one for him. It doesn't even have to be activated on VZW -- we could get something off eBay for him to work with. I would certainly pitch in for this. Is there any interest? Would this be feasible.

Given the news from last week that Samsung was seeding Android devices to known ROM developers to foster the rooting community, maybe Koush could get a phone from them.

One final option if we can't get Koush a Charge and, thus, are faced with the possibility of never getting a fully functional CWM. How about Amon Ra?? Maybe we could talk to him about supporting the Droid Charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
Did koush ever get it working for the Fascinate? If not, I wonder if we could chip in with the Fascinate community to get it working for both of our devices. Would there be any difference in the phones as far as recovery goes?
[Verizon Droid Charge] douglasmcusmc:
Im waiting on a complete recovery as well.. Im coming from the eris so amon is what im use too but cwm isnt much dif at leaast on the cover.. Ill donate also if someone can get this working
[Verizon Droid Charge] warriorprophet:
Is it a class 10 2.0 or 3.0, I've seen a lot of issues with "class10 2.0" in phones of late, but 3.0 certified cards (like kingston) seem to work fine. If you spent less than $90 on your "class 10" 32gb card, it is probably 2.0.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jagri44451:
Does any one have a charge to lend him I know people have done that in the past I would gladly send mine but my spare phone is being used by my wife till we can get another upgrade
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Truthfully, most people I know of make backups, but never restore them. I made 5 backups, and restored once with my Fascinate. I find it easier and cleaner to just set stuff up again.

I'll see if I can build Amon_RA's recovery. His source is on Github, so it should be able to be ported.

The Fascinate's recovery still isn't fully fixed AFAIK. There have been minor fixes along the way, but nothing significant that I know of. The difference between the Charge and Fascinate are the partition layouts, as they are different for the Charge compared to the Fascinate (and other SGS phones), and some stuff is statically linked in the code, rather than specified via variables. This is likely what is causing the problems, but there could be something else as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
I agree with imnuts, i did maybe one nandroid restore with my fascinate when i was learning i dont really see this being a feature we need to go crazy trying to get up and running.

and as far as getting koush a charge. Well at this point Rom manager has made him enough money to invest in his buisness. I bought Rom manager for the fascinate and it never worked correctly and even after it was brought up in public forum it wasnt really addressed, so as far as i am concerned i invested in that project and never saw a return.
[Verizon Droid Charge] suzook:
That would be AWSOME!
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
First, I want to say thanks imnuts for all the hard work you are putting into this. It is greatly appreciated. As for backups, I guess my experience is different. With my Evo, I tended to try a new rom every other day. Each new rom I set up from scratch, but thereafter, having the Nandroid backups available was a lifesaver, both in terms of switching back to a prior rom and, more importantly, saving my ass when install of a new theme or some other hack didn't go as planned.

I'll be very interested to hear how it goes with Amon Ra.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jack$on:
I understand on how to check voodoo lagfix and make sure it is running.... even though CWR is showing disabled.

But how do you check the sys lagfix? I know that voodoo is working and running. Not sure sys lagfix is though?

Thx!

I did a search.... but couldnt find answer.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
go to app store and get voodoo control and check it there..u can also change it in the settings
[Verizon Droid Charge] Manjews:
I used to do the same exact thing with my incredible. I would love to try all the roms coming out for the charge but not having working nandroid makes it a royal pain in the ass.
[Verizon Droid Charge] suzook:
P3droids odin maker in the market works great for this.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Manjews:
I just hate having to wait to be by my computer to flash things. I work 70 hours a week so im not home much so it really doesn't help my situation much lol. But thanks for the heads up.

I guess ill just stick with Gummy till nandroid hopefully gets fixed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MrBrine:
Hi sorry if this is a dumb question. The file linked to in the OP to download CWM has .tar.md5 as the file extension. Do I need to delete the .md5 from the end before I install it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Nope leave it in place and just flash the file as is.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
Help - I decided to go back to stock for a bit and then look at ROM options. When I disabled Voodoo and flashed back to StockRooted ED01 as I have in the past I was greeted to the rebooting of the Droid Image.

Now I cannot get CWM to install. Suggestions on how to get CWM back onto the phone if the image won't boot past the Droid image.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Wheelman6969:
Totally lost

I ran ODIN3 and downloaded New_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5 to my Charge with no problems as all. I then held the VolUp+Home+Pwr until I saw the Samsung screen and then let go of the PWR button while still holding the other two. See picture attached. I do not see any way to run the 0602_charge_voodoo.zip or any other file other than update.zip. Also, the pwr key does nothing in this screen but the HOME key will select an option. These are the only two steps I have done so far.

What am I doing wrong?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
once you flash the CWM-you have to immediately(next boot) install a rooted kernal and/or rom combo. If you dont then you lose your CWM and IMO have to reflash the stock Odin cause it wouldnt let me reflash the same CWM over the top
[Verizon Droid Charge] Wheelman6969:
The screenshot I posted was the very next boot.

Do I use ODIN3 to load the kernel? What I need is a REALLY good step by step. I tried following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122657 and wound up where I am now. What do I do next?

When I boot the phone normally, it still comes up with the factory boot up.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
once you install CWm via Odin..the first boot needs to be into recovery(hold power-vol up and home at same time..wait till Samsung logo appears then release).you should boot into yellow CWM...then after that is installed, immediately(without rebooting) install rooted kernel and rom if desired

reread the steps and follow them I just reread them and they are accurate
