Bug during backup?

So I am starting my backup of my phone using this recovery.

I booted into recovery, chose "Backup and Restore", then chose "Backup", and finally told it to makeup to the external card.

Here is my output:

CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.4-atrix1

SD Card Space free: 4331MB

Backing up boot image...

Backing up recovery image...

Backing up system...

Backing up data...

Backing up .android-secure...

Backing up cache...

No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.

Backing up osh...

Backing up pds...

Generating md5 sum...

Backup complete!

It seems somewhere in the backup code it tries to backup the contents of the SD-Card (external), but the mount point is referenced as "sd-ext" instead of "sdcard-ext".

This isn't a big deal for me at all, as I only have videos and music on the external card - both of which I have copies of on my PC. For some people, they may want to be able to backup the external card as well.

Edit: In the advanced restore options there is also an option to restore the external sdcard, but it is against referenced as the mount point "sd-ext" instead of sdcard-ext".

Like I said, I'll wipe the phone clean tomorrow and test restore it then make a new post with the results.

So far so good!!

Boot regularly and then in Settings enable USB Debugging. From a command prompt, "adb devices" should show your phone. From there, "adb reboot recovery" and wait 10-20 seconds.

Does that get you into recovery? Does the "Motorola Dual Core" boot image change at all when you try to boot into recovery? Like to a little Android guy with a yellow hazard sign?

The "plugged into AC" recovery is just a hijack of the normal system, so if your phone boots normally I'm not surprised that method works.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] romracer:
"sd-ext" refers to an ext3 partition on the external SD card. On other phones, this is used for crap like "data2sd" and "apps2sd". On our phones, the only current use I've seen of this is for Sogarth's webtop2sd.

Standard CWM does not backup SD card contents (it backs up to them) so there is no support for that in mine. I could consider adding it eventually.

You will see references to "sdcard-ext" in my recovery if you do something like Apply update.zip and then choose External SD card (look at the path it shows you for update.zip on the confirm screen).

Let me start off by saying I apologize if these questions have already been answered. I searched Google and XDA for many hours trying to find the answers.

1) My HOME key does not seem to work and I am wondering how to go about fixing this.

2) Is there any way to link my facebook contacts with my phone's contacts?

3) I can't seem to figure out how to make the lock screen work. I have fiddles with all the settings but nothing seems to work

Thanks for all the help!

I'm getting ready to flash CM7 onto my NS4G, but I want to backup the stock recovery before I start in case I want to revert back to pure stock. I know that there are placed where I can download other people's recovery dumps, but I'd really like to create my own.

Does anyone know how to get a recovery dump of the stock recovery. My issue comes in the fact that dumping recovery seems to require root, but rooting the NS is done by unlocking the bootloader and flashing the recovery. It's a catch 22, I can't backup the recovery without rooting but I can't root without flashing the recovery.

Any tips?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snandlal:
In a terminal:

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd3 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snandlal:
If you cat /proc/mtd it will output the value (partition) of all your mtd's. It will tell you what each is. Very handy i think.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agasser:
The trouble is that running dd requires root. I'm not aware of a root exploit for the Nexus S 4G 2.3.5. The current method to root the phone is to unlock it, flash ClockworkMod recovery, and flash superuser.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agasser:
I accidentally solved my own problem. I gave up on trying to find a way to backup the stock recovery and I just moved forward with loading CM7. However, in the process I discovered a way to backup the full un-rooted stock system, including the stock recovery.

Here are the steps I took (more detailed steps on CyanogenMod wiki):

1. Unlock the phone using "fastboot oem unlock" (this did a factory reset, including the SD/USB memory)

2. Rebooted into the bootloader

3. Installed ClockworkMod Recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.1.0.1-crespo4g.img" while in the bootloader

4. Without leaving the bootloader I selected Recovery. This launched ClockworkMod Recovery.

5. Used ClockworkMod Recovery to run a NAND backup.

I can't fully explain this, but the backup included the stock recovery. When I restarted the phone and launched recovery again it still had my stock recovery image installed. The only way I can explain this is that "fastboot flash recovery" only flashed ClockworkMod temporarily while I was in the bootloader, I'm not sure how that works.

After flashing CM7 I used ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod Recovery again, and using that method caused it to stick. However, restoring my stock backup does in fact flash me back to stock recovery.

Long story short, I was able to get a clean backup of non-rooted stock. If I want to go back to pure stock for warranty or other reasons I only have two steps to take:

1. Restore my stock backup

2. Lock the bootloader
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snandlal:
Check for /system/etc/install-recovery.sh delete or change permissions to 000. When booted to OS,it will rewrite over custom recovery
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
And Samsung can still read out the phone's files to see the bootloader was unlocked IF they wish to :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suksit:
Your NANDroid backup does contains CWM recovery. The reason you get the stock recovery after reboot is because of the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script. (see what snandlal said above)

I think CM7 does not include that script in their ROM.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ray_jai:
Hi, I have a milestone and this morning the phone was just stuck on the logo.

I'm using stock rom and I didn't do any to it. But I have noticed the phone rebooting and hanging on itself when I update apps from the market. I do have androidrini (spellcheck?) recovery installed and when i try to restore my old backups, it says MDS check fail?

I managed to restore a very very old backup but it's still stuck on the logo. I'm afraid to wipe because I may lose the recovery menu.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
When you wipe through OR or recovery, the phone's data is wiped clean. Your SD card stays the same way it was, so you will not lose OR at all.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Hi,

using the app GPS Status, in addition to gps info, it shows data relating the inclination of both axis.

Using it, i've seen that it isn't calibrated... when it is completely horizontal, the app shows a certain value, and the orange ellipse isn't on the centre... in order to get the zero reading (ellipse on the centre) I have to inclinate the mobile a little to the left side.

Hoq can I calibrate it?

Regards.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Well, it seems to be fine right now... i don't know.

Anyway, it would be interesting to know how to calibrate it, or at least a way to check it.
[LG Optimus Black] sonic1995:
hy, u can calibrate it if u have acces to hidden menu. To activate you need to create a shortcut to this hidden menu. You can do this with most replacement launchers and apps like BetterCut.

Example using LauncherPro (others will use a similar method):

1.Long press on home screen

2.Select Shortcuts

3.Select Activities

4.Scroll down to and expand com.lge.hiddenmenu

5.Select HiddenMenu (first entry)

6.Enter Shortcut name

7.Click on shortcut to launch

8.Hit 'Thanks' below :))

bump

I have to rise back this thread.

My LG Black is showing an offset of 0.600 and 0.400 on either the y and x axis.

I've tried everything that shows up on google. No sucess.

Has anyone had success on calibrating the accelerometer/g-sensor?

The compass works perfectly, FIY.

Every app and game that relies on the g-sensor is messed up, because I have to lean the phone to the left to get perfect horizontal.

Thanks

My issue is

There are not many apps/games for tegra 2 that can't run on single core processors with chainfire3d so why the need for quad core?

Don't be dumb, its because quad core must be bigger than dual core, and sounds newer and...well....BIGGER.

Is quadcore going to be somehow the savior of android tablets and convince millions of people to give up their iPad all of a sudden just because nvidia/moto releases a "quad core" tablet?

I know when I was thinking about getting this phone, all I could focus on was, "Well, i dont really care about 3D, so why get the phone?" Truth is its so much more than just 3D, its an over all step up from the 4G, with 3D capabilities.... good luck on the plunge!

Hey, I just got an 8 GB microSD card for my Galaxy from my father (he was using it before giving it to me) and, instead of formatting it using the Galaxy, I formatted it in my computer and I am afraid that I might have done something wrong. The problem is that it's transfer rate is painfully slow (about 2 MBps, whereas my old 2 GB card would transfer files at 30 MBps).

Also, after formatting it using the computer, I formatted it again using the Galaxy, but still, the slow transfer rate remains. I don't think this is normal.

So, I want to try to format it again using the computer, but I need to know the exact settings for optimal performance. Quick format, the unit allocation size etc.

doubtfull the nexus prime will ever see the checkmark logo, doubtfull, that's just my view on it, though, they had a chance with the nexus one a year ago and said "nah, we like the incredible" not that it's a bad phone, i love mine, but verizon had the chance and passed on it.

the bionic....eeeehhh, knowing motorola's stint with locked bootloaders, and the pentile screen. i'd pass

if you want my honest view, i may be wrong about the prime, if it does hit verizon, check that out, if not, then check out the vigor.

now, i've had bad experience with the galaxy s lineup, so it may varry for you, but i'd say pass on the gs2
