In a sense it's something like that, If the file structure could be rearranged for faster read/write then the phone would tend to be more responsive. Put it this way, It's like NTFS and FAT32 file formats. FAT32 has a faster read and write because of the limited file size structure compared to NTFS.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
The dev of internal card is mmcblk0p1, the dev of external_sd il mmcblk1p1. The CWM don't look into the vold.fstab, use always the external_sd (mmcblk1p1)for backup. So you can swap the two card if you want but if your app was put in the external_sd they will not backed up. BTW i think that 2GB of space in data partition + 1.6 GB in internal_sd is enought space for my apps and i don't need to swap it on the external.

Can we use shell to flash recovery?

I am a n00b so pardon my french ...

But can we flash CWM using ............

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/normalboot.img

Just curious.. what really happens then..

thanks for the time
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
You can use redbend_ua that you can find inside some zip file on xda (on the i9000 forum) cause it can write on bml partition.... On this way i will do a universal script to install cwm on every firmware.... but have to wait for this since i'm busy with other project....

Does flashing this CWM have a very high risk of bricking(any sort of brick ie: soft brick etc.) my phone??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
None.. Just make sure the cwm you are flashing is the right one for your firmware or else you will have a soft brick.

CWM flashing keeps my ROM and data safe ?

@Skin 1980

Thanks a million for your wonderfull work man... Custom ROM days are here thanks to you...

Now I have a problem or rather question due to my limited know-how about Android.. I hope someone can help me on this one.. I have tried searching posts here to get my answers.. But I am not sure about a few things..

I plan to flash CWM recovery using ODIN choosing CWM tar file are PDA..

The main reason is to get backup working and to get Juwe11 RamScript from http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1111145

I am on XXKB3 FW deodexed rooted with sdcard swap mod. So currently my 8GB sdcard is mounted under /sdcard and 2GB internal memory is at /sdcard/external_sd.

AA) When I flash CWM recovery do I loose any data from my existing ROM or phone ? I mean can I just flash CWM and then not flash anything else to get my cell working normal?

BB) I understand that to backup my ROM plus data I need to change back to original external_sd as disk space will be an issue for full backup (around 2.4 GB?). But after flashing will the vold.fstab change to original or remain same as I have now?

CC) Does this support for Juwe11's RamScript mean that if I update the script using CWM it will work? I dont know if my stock XXKB3 kernel supports init.d. I dont see it under /etc either..

Attaching zip with normalboot.img and mounts.txt

Thanks a lot for your time.. I wish you all the best for future projects ...

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
a. You will nit lose any data and don't need to flash anything after flashing cwm in pda.. Backup your data just incase..

b. You can do the swap but still have the backup in external sd w/c is now your internal sd card..

And for question c I don't know.. Maybe skin can answer :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
A) You will not loose any your data after flashing CWM if you flashed correct CWM for your ROM.

B) CWM doesn't use vold.fstab to define what partition is external and what indernal. Look at the Skin1980's answer

C) It's already implemented inside init.d script. Look at the Skin1980's answer
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
Now this support nand backup restore? N mount usb storage feature in recovery mode?

update: OK I know now this works great with nand backup.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] CSharp#:
I successfully flashed CWM in my device, but now my phone is not being detected when I try to connect via Kies or even mass storage, though it's detected in USB debugging.. any solution for this? TIA

edit: my FW is DXKB2
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
Will this void my warranty? And if I did a official update, will it brick(soft brick etc.) my phone? Will all my data be lost? Will I also need to be rooted? How do I get back stock recovery too?

Note: I am on firmware DXKB2

Thanks:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] stpsp:
sorry but for my stupid question, can any one tell me the steps to follow to install this new recovery !!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Go to download mode.. Open odin.. Select the cwm for your firmware and select it as PDA.. Click start and you're done..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Also take note, Its firmware specific :D You can't use a XXKB3 PDA on DXKB2 or you will end up in a boot up :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
Can someone reply my question. I really nid help. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Will this void my warranty? And if I did a official update, will it brick(soft brick etc.) my phone? Will all my data be lost? Will I also need to be rooted? How do I get back stock recovery too?

------------------------------

1. Unless you root. No. But if you root, Then yes, You loose it. You also loose warranty by flashing to a firmware that is not distributed by your region. Please refer to falex wonderful FAQ thread for more info.

2. No bricks happen unless you do it in download mode. This has been discussed aswell a few pages back. Anything done in download mode is safe. Then again, The FAQ thread.

3. Ofcourse, Flashing involves formatting and re-partitioning your phones drive. Back up your data into your external_sd using what app you feel comfortable in the market. For this again, refer to the FAQ.

4. Rooted is a must, atleast for this community. If you wish to NOT root your phone, Then flash and end there ;) but the bad news being, your not entitled to any customization's with the phone (This includes themes, mods, etc). Again, This is also discussed in the FAQ thread.

5. CWM is the custom recovery. You have stock recovery by reflashing the stock PDA.

Please refer to falex FAQ for more inquiries. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
My stock firmware dxkb2 has only one whole file and does not have the pda itself that's why I am worrying so much.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
As it was mentioned by ephraim that all you need to do is flash the PDA to any preexisting froyo firmware version without the latona file.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] morofaya:
How to i get into CWM :S? just flashed the pda to the phone but i aint seeing any different.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
start your phone with the combo key vol-up + home+ power
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] morofaya:
Oke ty bro , o and btw , i really appriciate youre work. i aint talented in phone stuff but u have my credits ;) hope you will have a custom firmware wich we all waiting for soon.

Peace
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
But if I flashed the whole file for dxkb2 won't it be like stock I only want the recovery to be stock.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
What firmware do u use? If u use xxkb3 then flash xxkb3 firmware and your recovery will become the stock recovery..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
I'm on xxdb3 if I flash cwm modded for my firmware then after gb release if I flash to gb then I think this will not cause any incompatible issue right?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
UPDATE!!!!

- Added ext4 support to the kernel;

- Added CWM Generator for porting CWM on every FW;
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
Right my friend! :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] podanimesh:
skin that means if e run the script e will have cwm as well as cwm support..

as far as i know android is alsobased on linux.

can we execute the script through terminal of android.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
no... need perl
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
My firmware is dxkb2 please teach me how to flash back to stock recovery. I only have one whole file not 3 files so if I flashed the one file my phone will become totally stock but I only want the recovery of to be stock.

And does this also mean that if I flashed this cwm now my kernel will be changed to ext4?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
What firmware do u want to use? If u want xxkb3 then flash that firmware to revert back to stock recovery. I think I told you countless times how to do that..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
skin has uploaded new file of xxkb3 firmware of date 27-7-2011. Can anybody tell me that what is new in that whats in that file???? I am little confused about that....!!!! If I flash that file what benefit will I get over previous pda file of CWM????
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
With that you can apply tge ext4 conversion script that you can find in the related post...

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
WOW!!! you are great!

I have a questions:

1. why in the CWM Porting.tar/source/res/etc/recovery.fstab there is ext3 as fstype for 3 partitions (/data, /system, /datadata)

But I remember that we formatted /cache to ext4 too. Why has it rfs? Also why ext3, but not ext4?

2. also why is fstype2 rfs for all partitions?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
after i flashed my pda with this GT-I9003_PDA-XXKB3-27.07.2011.tar, i got this error

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
To help you we need more info:

1. What FW have you installed?

2. Did you make rfs-ext4 converting?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
1. mine use fw xxkb3

2. before this i succesfully make rfs-ext4 converting until i flashed my pda with latest cwm in first post (GT-I9003_PDA-XXKB3-27.07.2011.tar)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] puga74:
Same happened to me :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
IE: you did the following:

1. flashed CWM with ext4 support from the "EXT4 converting" thread

2. Made ext4 converting

3. it works well

4. you flashed GT-I9003_PDA-XXKB3-27.07.2011.tar from this thread

5. it doesn't work.

Right? In this case I think you found a bug :)

For ALL.... WAIT BEFORE DOWNLOAD!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Namaless:
I found semi-fix but not working:

run in recovery, connect device with pc and with adb shell type:

mount -t auto /dev/block/stl9 /system

Now the partition /system mounted with ext4 but I can't restore backup :(

Get error mounting system...

Sorry don't have linux machine...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
yeah its right..mine flashed back with earlier pda provide by skins n redo all the step(i skip the remove file part)..at least the msg error is gone =)

p/s: now skins post new cwm fixed..didnt try yet
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
Wait... i have to check it again because maybe i posted the wrong file.....

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
Hello, sorry if my question sounds silly. I am on XXKB3. Now that a stable GD firmware may be very near, is it worth installing CWM? What exactly is the procedure for installation, can you point me to the right thread or post. Is there a step by step guide for flashing this? When I flash this, will I lost all my data and apps?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Flash with CWM only if you need to. Customizing your phone is your own risk. As we have mentioned aswell we do not promote people to risk their phones if they don't intend to. CWM is the best recovery available to android it allows ease of flashing files to backup using nandroid without much hassle. Also what's been used for FROYO cannot be used in GB in terms of they differ by system data.

As harsh at this sounds to many new users. There's a reason skin has mentioned the risks and ofcourse gain comfortability with your phone before flashing randomly. The faq by falex will answer most of your questions.

@jesrani there are no claims it is a stable GB firmware. Xxkb3 is the most stable FROYO firmware. Even if you chose to be using GB It will take a series of harsh critiques before it's determined stable or glitchy by advanced users. And then a few more days to determine what can be ported or not.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
just see my settings of odin in previous post attached file.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
Agree about the GB release. I could not find any guide in Falex FAQ, it points to this thread.

Checked it out, thanks.

So I open ODIN and flash, that's it. Nothing else to be done, RIGHT. And will I lose all apps and settings?

Do I have to DeOdex and root again?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
Thats it also check the auto reboot option only.

No you will not loss anything. But its always good to have backup. I use titanium backup pro for this. Best of luck.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Well, Odin, Series of files to put and then yes, Flash them. Latona first, Then the rest. And yes you will loose all apps and settings, Then again, Use an app like TB to backup all your data, Make sure in the external_sd so you won't loose it all. By default as for most phones there is no external_sd so by default the sdcard is set as default save location. Then restore them after the format. System data only must be restored, If you restore data with all, You'll need to reflash since some have different versions.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
Hey guys, 2 different answers!!! Which is the correct one.

Will I lost data and apps or no? And do I have to root again and deodex again?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
If you flash from stock, yes. You will loose data. But backup and you won't, what so confusing about that?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
don't get confuse, if you follow my picture options then you will not loss any apps n settings but again please make backup first using tb.

If u follow mislead and flash with latona file first then surely you will loss apps n settings. In my picture I didn't choose latona file or follow mislead guide.

I hope you get it.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MH34EK62	GT-I9003_PDA-GB-KP9- UPDATED.tar UPDATED 20.07.2011

I installed this through Odin & rebooted my phone. Then when I goto ROM manager & to Check for ROM updates. Then it gives me a message

Flash ClockworkMod Recovery

You must have ClockworkMod Recover installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager first.

When I select Install, it gives me another saying

Confirm Phone Model

What should I select from these two? It does not show Galaxt SL i9003.

Please help.

Dude, theres a new GB for our phone released a while ago.. Better wait fr feedbacks of it.. Maybe it's more stable than kp9..

Why did you install cwm through cmw manager? We install our cwm through flashing with odin..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kav4:
First I downloaded

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MH34EK62	GT-I9003_PDA-GB-KP9- UPDATED.tar UPDATED 20.07.2011

Then I installed that .tar file thru flashing with odin.

Then only I went to ROM manager. Is it not the correct way? I'm totally new to this. Can you pls tell where to download the CMW & how to install if what I did was incorrect?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
all is corect if u are able to use phone without error after flash i think u have done it but u are getting confused with rom manager settings....

i suggest u dont use rom manager: for recovery mode just use 3 button combo.

or if u want to use rom manager then just use that to enter ur recovery mode (its just like shortcut so u have not to manually press three button combo.)

rest option of rom manager is not usable for us. yes we have CWM recovery but i think skin need to register this to official site of rom manager so all users of rom manager get our phone option in the list in the app.

so for now not select any option other than recovery mode.
