I'm sorry but i haven't test very good GB CWM since i'm working on froyo.... i think that is better get a 100% working CWM for froyto before portit to GB.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gianpa:

Thank you (ma tanto te l'avevo già detto che sei un grande :) )

btw... is anyone up to an overclocable kernel? I heard that our cpu is good at overclocking...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
In that order, except for #2. I'd suggest you use the same one you used before.

You used ROM manager? Well, this CWM isn't compatible with ROM manager yet.

For the zillionth time - please read instructions carefully!

i tried to search for a guide for how to make backup through nandroid but all are using rom manager

and i tried to make backup from CWM but after flashing the ext4 it goves error cant mount /system

so do you know how i can backup with nandroid

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
You can start your phone in recovery mod using three buttons together : Volume+, Home and Power.

After applying ext4-format.zip you mustn't reboot. You have to restore a nandroid you will have done earlier.

Now all you can do is reflashsing firmware + CWM
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] avengery:
i didnt reboot after flashing the ext4-format.zip i just tried to restore from

Manage backup and restore

and it gives

E:cant mount /system

i tried to mount system before flashing zip file but same

is there another way for restoring ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
You know, don't take offence from this, But you can save yourself the trouble and just update to XXKB3. If it's arabic text your looking for, I'm sure GO SMS Pro has some language settings.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
If you don't have a backup you can't restore anything...

Reflash firmware + CWM and enter recovery mod with the three buttons combination.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] avengery:

2. reflash CWM

3. apply ext4-format.zip

4. do not reboot!

5. restore your backup
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] iming88:

because i found that my device cannot apply some mod with previous busybox and i've tried all method possible to update busybox manually but failed and i think its CWM related..

@avengery - Where have you placed your nandroid backup?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
I'm afraid I forgot to tell you one thing :

1. reflash firmware

2. reflash CWM

3. Root (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1170498)

4. apply ext4-format.zip

5. do not reboot!

6. restore your backup
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] avengery:
thanks dude but same problem

1 i flash ROM

2 Flash CWM

3 Root ( before i was using Superoneclick )

4 backup with CWM ( dont know how to make backup with nandroid )

5 apply ext4-formate.zip

6 i found error cant mount system / cach log

so i cant restore backed files :(

but really thanks your replies :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
The error is can't mount system then resolve this by simply mount system.

Enter to recovery then see mount and storage, go there then select mount system.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] avengery:
when i do mount gives same error cant mount system

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] calvinljh:
can I reflash new version GT-I9003_PDA-KPE-EXT4-BATTERY-FIX.tar (7.58 MB, 1244 views) on top of existing flashed KPE.tar release early?

or it has to follow step:-

1) flash stock firmware

2) flash GT-I9003_PDA-KPE-EXT4-BATTERY-FIX.tar

3) install code page 1

4) install ext4 (how to install, just apply from recovery with selection?)

5) Root the phone

pls correct my step, i been search on this guide details early, not info about step
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
You can reflash it no problem. But if i were you , just on the safe side i would follow the instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
May be this is due to wrong cwm flash. If you flash cwm which don't support ext4 then this error can come so choose your cwm correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ruff.005:
I'm new in android recovery :(

I flashed "CWM-GT-I9003-XXKB3-EXT4-BATTERY FIX-PDA-09.08.2011.tar" via odin. But, in recovery mode I can't access my sdcard. It says "E: can't mount /sdcard"

what did I wrong??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
This reminds me of an endless limbo where I'm caught up wondering and asking everyone again and again,

What firmware do you use

, no wait-----What dark firmware do you possess? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
format your sdcard with CWM (copy the content to your computer before doing this)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nitinvaid:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
Can i do a full restore if example i backup my dxkb2 then flash to xxkb3 then can i just restore?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Then it would restore the data of DXKB2, Since this is somewhat a sensible question, I'll make it easy.

It's copying everything that you did *Backup phase* and pasting it, In the end flashing to XXKB3 would be useless since the restored data consists of system data and apps aswell. Chances are you might get firmware instability.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
In simple words, you can, but its like an "Undo" button action, as Misledz said.

It'll replace everything with DXKB2 making your XXKB3 flash useless.

Use Titanium Backup for user apps and data if you want to upgrade ROM and then restore YOUR apps and data. System apps should never be restored anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
With only 1 difference: he will have DXKB2 with CWM for XXKB3. They won't work together :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jjangjojo:
Oh... i thought nandroid was a backup of the whole rom. Then if so how does the restore option allow a soft bricked phone to be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
*Facepalm* Nandroid backup IS a backup of the whole ROM/System, I'm sure Skin and everyone has mentioned this. Before you ask further, Please for the love of God and all things almighty, try the nandroid backup and restore atleast once. Then that will answer on how the restore "fixes" a soft brick.

If you aren't willing to try it atleast once, Then I implore you to not ask further questions on this. Everyone who's flashed this, knows what it's for
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
My bad! I assumed someone would be smart enough to replace the CWM version too when changing ROMs.. Isn't that kind of obvious as its not yet universal for this device? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
LOL Holy crap, How did I not realize this? LOL I was so caught up into thinking it felt like It was universal :D then again, Do you think it won't work aswell cause of the Md5 mismatch?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
LOL.

No, it won't work. You have to change the CWM, then restore the nandroid from ext_SD.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
But what about md5 checksum? Wouldn't you get version mismatch or something/
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Not sure about that. Never tried it with this CWM.

It works on the S2 but S2's CWM is universal (sort of)..

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Fr@ncesco:
Hi guys, i'm a new android users and I need your help. I installed cwm with odin as said in first post, but I had any link to start it. So I installed root check and my phone was not rooted, than i rooted with superoneclick and installed rom manager. Just with rom manager i can start recovery but when i try to install custom rom i can't do it becauserecovery searchs a update.zip file and i can't check the rom file. I tried unsuccessfull to find answer anywhere. Can someone help me? There's a guide very detailed to do this? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
You need to use "Install zip from sdcard" to enable manual installation of zip file. Make sure your custom ROM is in the external_sd.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Fr@ncesco:
I do that but it results installation aborted. It searchs only "update.zip" file and i can't choose anyone else.

Clockworkmod works but it's like if wasn't installed, What's wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Do NOT use ROM Manager, this CWM isn't compatible with it yet. Just reboot into Recovery using the Power button.

Don't select "apply update.zip". Select the "install zip from sd card" option and browse and select the zip from the list. Make sure the zip is placed in the root of your ext_SD.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Basically what spacebar said, Looks like I'm really tired I missed the part where you said ROM Manager. It won't work ,our phone isn't capable/supported with ROM Manager. It clearly shows in the compatibility list.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rohit_rocks:
ya.. pls upload the whole package, and if u have the single CWM file, then upload that also.. thanks :) :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
in the next days i will update the CWM for all FW. Update mean ext4 with battery fix.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Fr@ncesco:
I tried to start recovery with method to put in download mode but it was successfull just two times. About Rom manager i saw the isn't compatible yet but i use that just to reboot in recovery mode.

I ever selected "install zip from sd card" but is ever displayed "E:can't mount /sdcard", i also tried to mount sdcard by "mounts and storage menu" but there is ever error mounting sdcard.

However i might be found what's wrong: after installing cmw by odin i see again "external_sd" instead "ext_SD", than the folder wasn't renamed. Could be for this reason that i've got problem?

Now i'm on stock froyo xxkb3 rooted with superoneclick, because i want to try NamaRom.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Depends on what CWM you had for which firmware? Cause only a few CWM had this issue. Anyways, The latest fix by your famous italian brother , the one with the BatteryFix,etc. That's the 100% working one, Place Nama's ROM in the ex_sd then choose "Install from zip", also make sure you use the Menu button to select, The home key tends to respond too quickly and you might end up double tapping :). Just use the Full Install of Nama and you should be good.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] avengery:
cant wait for the update , jpkde :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Fr@ncesco:
I tried everything. I had just the "CWM-GT-I9003-XXKB3-EXT4-BATTERY FIX-PDA-12.08.2011" file and installed it with odin. I need some other files?

I can't do this because when i try, it was "error mounting sdcard" or "can't mount sdcard"
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Try this and let me know

Problem solved. I format again sd from phone menu and it works... Rom successfull installed. Thank you so much
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Wow never thought of that, But your welcome :) Btw did your SD card belong to another phone? Nokia perhaps?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Fr@ncesco:
Yes it was sd card of my old nokia 5800 but I format by pc first to use that in galaxy about a month ago. Now may be i'll install last release of cwm.

However thanks more for your patience and your help.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
TIP: Always use this to format your SD cards.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Bud what's the difference between the tool you posted and the stock built into the phone? Correct me if i'm wrong but formatting a SDHC within the phone seems to be ok, Unless there is some epic booster performance that I'm completely unaware of with this software :O
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
That tool is made by the guys who made the SD card. It has format algorithms best suited for a SD.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ZAM_TK:
Tried CWM for DDKB2 & XXKPE, both were working fine... Now trying CWM for XXKB3 with CWM-GT-I9003-XXKB3-EXT4-BATTERY FIX-PDA-12.08.2011.tar ... But this one is still in the middle...its not installing, is there any issue with this PDA?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Try the one I uploaded in the last few posts.

@Francesco No worries chief, The issue was the same with me previously :D I used the same from my nokia. Problem is if you formatted with Nokia first, Then did a quickformat with PC, there are some files that don't get deleted :\. I had the same issue earlier, But with Media Scanner, CWM was never released in the first 2 months I had this :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
I am using ddkf1 and used skin's cwm preying script to create tar file of the rom. I also had the no charging when device off issue but today I switched off the device with charger plugged in, then when the wait cursor appeared I tried to bit into recovery. I saw the battery icon, which didn't appear earlier. Now I can charge my mobile even when it is switched off (cwm also available).

Someone else can try the same. If booting into recover doesn't help them press both vol up + down + home and them the power.

If a dev wants to debug using my device, I can connect using team viewer.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ZAM_TK:
Does this include EXT4 support, RamScipt & Battery Fix?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
EXT4 Support, Note: Support and EXT4 are 2 totally different things. RAMscript. But battery fix wasn't an issue in this.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ZAM_TK:
So, it would be something like a single CWM version compatible for all FW's or will it be still separate CWM for each FW?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ZAM_TK:
Sorry, mean to say that can I apply Ext4 & Ram script with this? Reason is there are two files (CWM-GT-I9003-XXKB3-EXT4-BATTERY FIX-PDA-12.08.2011.tar and GT-I9003_PDA-XXKB3-27.07.2011-FIXED.tar), so what's the difference here?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] soodgautam:
Dont facepalm me :D

But i still am not clear about what you said in the post above.

When a ROM says Supports EXT4 what does it mean ?

And is it any different from the concept of stock ROM and then applying ET4 script ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Hahaha no worries its a legitimate question the fact that ext isn't packed with the stock, the default system stock firmware runs on rfs file format, a very sluggish file format that has slow read and write times. Then when skin ported a fix to convert this to ext4 he created a CWM ported from i9000 to flash the converter and other files , cwm is based off stock ROMs for now so it's not universal like the SGS2. Since you changed your file system to ext4 you need to have a cwm based off the ext4 version of the stock rom, that's what ext4 support means.

Analogy: it's like when you have a car, you can are given the keys that work only for that car, but when you change cars you are required to have a new key to use it right?

@zak the ones with the fixed quoted are the stable ones.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ZAM_TK:
Misledz, are you 100% sure about this? Including EFS folder???

It seems like taking Entire Back up except EFS folder. Sorry dude, that's what my Experience:D

I have tried the restore multiple times, and it restored entire stuff including contacts, theme, call log, etc ... BUT NOT EFS MY DEAR...

I don't know about others, but this is what my experience and just want to share it, because it might be helpful for other newb's...:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
For safety purposes it doesn't backup the efs to avoid issues that may persist later, But if you wish to backup the efs there's a thread I came across on how to do so using adb, I remember vaguely spacebar posted somewhat similar to it.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
@Skin: I think there's another problem with the ext4 module as I'm on XXKPH now and TouchWiz Appdrawer is butter smooth when pinched out, with XXKPE it was the same before I applied CWM and ext4 conversion. After I applied them, it was sluggish like hell, you might wanna take a look.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Thats what i have seen...TWLauncher lags with ext4 conversion..

@Skin: Can you look into this?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
@Skin1980: From the experience I got with XXKPH, I don't think we (or at least me) would actually need ext4 conversion. The phone is already butter smooth and I don't care about Quadrant benchmark. So can you provide us a vanilla KPH kernel with CWM recovery, without ext4 and ramscript support? That's way we can also check if ext4 module is actually the cause of certain memory and lag quirks that me and other have experienced. It would be great :D.
