Will do.

On the rom,there is nothing unusual about the settup or partioning that I know of.

And yes,both backups were created with RA.

I was able to get back to a working phone with my data intact using RA by restoring the latest backup,then reflashing the rom with no wipes before attempting to boot.

Thanks again for your efforts with this recovery :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drellisdee:
After a restore can you make a update.zip that flashes that roms boot.img only. Dont have it format or touch /system.

I'm thinking I may need to have nandroid erase the old boot.img prior to restore. I haven't had an issue at all on dinc2 by just using dd to overwrite the old boot on mmcblk0p22. This test should let me know if is an error on boot.img restore.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fixxxer2008:
whats the proper method of backing up then? can i rename the backup or do i amend it only?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
ok,so i got home,plugged in the phone,and installed rom manager,then installed amons recovery. booted to recovery,and wouldnt ya know both my backups restored :mad:

i thot maybe it had something to do with the fact that id been running blackao5p all day,and when i had the trouble yesterday i had been running a sense rom.so i reintalled clockwork,and restored a stock,rooted mr2.

back to recovery,and this time no boot. so i moved the recovery log,transferd my boot only .zip,then flashed it. tried to reboot and still nothing. :eek: of course the prollem could have been with my creation of said .zip,as all i did was delete everything from the shiftth3ory rom but the metainf folder,and the boot image,rezipped it,and signed it. so if youd like me to try another method with that,i will.

pulled the battery again,back to recovery,flashed shiftth3ory in its entirety,and it booted up fine.

logcat is here:

http://pastebin.com/e0WAt7Bp

grr it wont let me attach recovery.log,but heres what it said:

http://pastebin.com/Tj78RK4n

let me know if there is anything else i can do to help :)

edit: i made a backup of blackao5p prior to the above. after haivng shiftth3ory boot,i just now went back to amon and restored the blackao5p backup just fine.

does seem to do with not being able to restore aosp after sense,and maybe sense after aosp(i dont have any sense backups in amon,or id try).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drellisdee:
Ok. Ill look into it. Thanks for the info. The recovery.log must be run before rebooting recovery fyi. It was empty. The logcat you attached definately had a booting kernel and got very far in the boot process ( it even aquired a mobile cellular data connection.) I had been doing all my testing on sense btw so Ill do a nandroid of an aosp on my dinc2 when time permits to see.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
hmm i think i took the recovery log in this manner: restored backup,tried to boot,hung at splash,pulled battery,went back to recovery via hboot,then moved the log over. then i tried to flash my boot only .zip when that didnt work,i flashed the rom in its entirety overtop of the backup to get back to a working rom. does that affect the info on the logcat? sorry if i misunderstood the sequence i should have done things,i want to get you info that will help you :)

do you want me to get you another recovery log,after a restore,and before trying to reboot to system?

is the logcat what you needed,or do you want me to redo that as well?

also might ask the inc 2 guys if anyone has had issues restoring aosp after being on sense,or vice versa. might be that minimal issues arise since most users seem to be fairly diehard sense or aosp. prolly safe to say not nearly as many folks truly enjoy them both and will be restoring one after the other.

thanks again for your efforts. alot of us have used Amon on other devices,and additionally its nice to have an alternative installable thru rom manager if needed :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drellisdee:
Yes. Was that logcat taken from when the rom hung at splash also? If not do it also when hung at splash.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
i restored the backup,hung at the splash,pulled the battery,went to recovery,flashed my boot only zip,hung at splash again,pulled battery again, went back to recovery,flashed the rom overtop of the backup,then let it boot,as i thot the logcat needed to be taken after a reboot,so had to be in a working rom. so the log cat was taken after the rom was flashed ovetop of the backup.

ill get you the new recovery log,no prollem. it may be later this evning,since i have to restore sense first to duplicate the condition(long day at work today :()

how should i get you the logcat after the hang? can i go back to recovery and do it there? i dont recall if adb was seeing the phone or not while it was stick at the splash.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drellisdee:
Ill need a logcat while hung at splash assuming adb connects. Are there any other factors such as required radio version that could also be causing this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
im using the latest radios,wich are compatible with both roms.

heres the new recovery log:

http://pastebin.com/RbJ9CynA

looking thru it,i noticed this:

Flashing boot...

dd: can't open '/boot.img': No such file or directory

:eek:

dont know if thats relevant or not

ill boot it now,and try and get you that logcat while its hung
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
its definately hung. i cant get a logcat,because the device is attached,but offline :mad:

i assume its becasue its not getting far enuff in the boot process,but any advice? ill leave it like this a few minutes if theres anything you want me to try.

edit:

i gave it about 20 minutes to try and get adb to see it. during that time i tried unplugging and replugging,and moving it to different ports after leaving it unplugged for a couple minutes.

finally i pulled the battery. before starting this time,i made a backup of the stock mr2 rom id just flashed. i restored this backup,and it booted fine. after just a couple seconds,adb started seeing it online(after the 3rd or 4th "you just plugged something in" tone.when it hung, i was only getting 1 or 2 tones)

hope that helps :)

im off to work,so if theres anything else i can do,let me know... ill take care of it later this eveing :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drellisdee:
Thanks. Was able to comfirm and fix the boot restore. Had a extra "/" in path. Thanks for the debugging. It was failing to flash the backed-up boot.img.

Version 3.04

Changelog : Signature checking is off by default

Fixed boot restore error in nandroid.

PG05IMG-ra-mecha-3.04.zip

Should be updated in rom manager in a day or so also.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] smoother2010:
TY for this wonderful, speedy recovery. it wipes fast and backs up and restores fantastic, much better than clockwork.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ibsk8:
I'm glad I wasn't the only one with restore problems. Also glad to see the support
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
i agree. the issue was fixed quickly,and its working great now. i made a backup of shift ao5p,restored rooted mr2,then restored from that back to shift a05p.

no splash hang and no prollems :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drellisdee:
Next up in future release will be the ability to restore cwm nandroid backups. I have cwm 4 backup restore coded in and seeming working and am adding 5.0 currently.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
Cool. I can test pre-release if you'd like :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drellisdee:
Beta release with clockwork 4.0 & 5.0 nandroid restore capability. Changed min battery lvl off charger to 20% (from 30%) for a nandroid restore also.

Didn't have time to make hboot version. Unzip and flash via fastboot with command

fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-mecha-3.05.img

Md5 =35ee49eb223b2edb44895e1c290d1723 recovery-ra-mecha-3.05.img.zip

To restore a clockwork nandroid copy the dated folder from the clockworkmod/backups/ dir that has the backup you want to your /sdcard/nandroid/SERIAL#/ dir. Renaming is NOT NEEDED!!! You will want to delete the recovery.img from the clockwork imported folder (else it will restore clockwork recovery) and remove the the md5 line for recovery.img in the nandroid.md5 file. Select that backup from the nandroid restore menu in recovery and recovery will handle the conversion for you.

Untested but mecha-3.05 backups should work in cwm 4.0 restore if you rename the ext.img to sd-ext.img and the android_secure.img to .android_secure.img (if they exist)

If you have any errors on mecha-3.05 please read a few posts back about how to get a recovery.log and pastebin it please.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
cool,about to flash and test. for those not comfortable with fastboot:

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

tested-restored a 4.x,3.x,and 5.x clockwork backup. working perfectly :)

are there plans to be able to navigate to the clockworkmod/backup folder so you dont have to physically move them to the nandroid folder?

thanks again for your efforts :cool:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drellisdee:
Yes will upload new beta soon with that enabled. No moving or modifying of cwm backup will be required. And yes you can navigate to it on phone and select which cwm bckup to restore.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

MD5 = 8904dc4cefb6f4d1d3c936afee5f3b64 PG05IMG-ra-mecha-3.05-2.zip

Please see if someone can fully test with restoring CWM backups see above notes as I don't have a T-bolt.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
testing now :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
well i have tested as thuroughly as i can think to do. ive prolly restored at least 20 backups in the last couple hours :eek:

i restored 3.x,4.x,and 5.x clockwork backups with the restore clockwork backup option.

i restored amon nandroids as well.

i restored sense after aosp,and vice versa. also restored clockwork after amon,and vice versa.

after all the restoring i used it to flash nons3ns3 v2.

happy to report everything is wrking fantastically. :cool:

if there are any specific tests youd like,or any recovery reports,let me know.

the only issue there was at all,was the 1st or 2nd time i entered recovery,the back arrow quit working. :mad: but it was only that time,and worked every other time just fine.

do you have further plans for this? or have you achieved what you wanted to do with it? not that theres anything wrong with it,just curious :)

we appreciate all the hard work,its working great.

The proper name to rename CWR is PG05IMG?? If so I've done that added it the root of the sdcard held power and volume down but noting happens? My mind must be going blank can you please tell me the proper way to flash recovery? Thanks so much.... also after you flash the recovery then you flash the super user correct?

Sent from the Honeycomb hideout
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
yes. rename PG05IMG,place on root(top level) of sd

only 2 reasons a file is not found:

1)not properly named(if adding the .zip it could be names PG05IMG.zip.zip since windows adds and hides the file ext.) thats a zero,not a capital O

2)sd card not formatted FAT32
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MRFERRARI23:
Ok so after I rename it to that and add it the root of the sdcard once I hold power an volume down and get to the proper screen should it automatically detect it and install? Cause I believe I renamed it correctly but Idk what's up? :(

Sent from the Honeycomb hideout
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
yes,when you boot to hboot,youll see a blue status bar in the upper right corner,then the phone will ask you if you want to update vol up for yes,vol down for no.

as i said,if you renamed it with a windows machine it may be named pg05IMG.zip.zip. you can try just renaming "PG05IMG" and try it that way,or you can find the file onthe phone with a file manager(such as astro) it will show the filename and extension.

if your file is truly named correctly,and on the root(not inside another folder,on the top level) of your sd card,then the prollem must me with your sd card.

if you connect to the computer or put the sc card in a card reader,then right click on the drive that is your phones sd card,click properties and see if it is named just "FAT". if so,you will need to back it up and reformat. or find a second sd card to format FAT32 and put the file on. the phone will NOT find it on a plain FAT formatted sd card.

Is it ext3 or 4
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scotty1223:
ive assumed it to be ext 4,but ill let drellisdee answer for sure. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drellisdee:
Recovery will autodetect the fs in use assuming its supported in kernel. The recovery kernel will support ext2, ext3, & ext4 as well as raw used on boot and recovery.

Updated to 3.06

recovery-ra-mecha-3.06-gnm.img

MD5 ccd64cadf2b98e8f446e79d5a5c3d1a8 recovery-ra-mecha-3.06-gnm.img

Compiled for armv7a-neon so its faster.

Rewrote the ext3|4 menu to use C not scripts

Added a developer menu:

Developer menu:

Make and flash boot from zimage : This makes a mkboot folder on sdcard and mounts sdcard as mass storage then you copy a zImage and kernel modules into this folder and it will create a new boot like anykernel and flash it.

Toggle full ext wipe : This toggles between doing a quick wipe (default) of ext partitions or a full wipe which reformats them to ext3 or ext4 whichever you had.

Install su & superuser: Installs or fixes su & superuser install (removes old if exists)

Install eng (unguarded) su: Installs engineering su that doesn't use superuser (removes old su & superuser if exists)

Reboot to bootloader: reboots to bootloader/hboot

Reboot recovery : reboots phone back into recovery

[Thunderbolt Android Development] loveubuntu:
slow CWR? How fast is Amon Ra? I have no issues with CWR. Sure it takes about 4-5 minutes to backup/restore a loaded sense rom and 2-3 min for an AOSP rom, but the experience is painless. Can someone explain what "fast" means?

Also, recently titanium backup (paid ver) gives you the capability of restoring something specific from a CWR backup. This comes quite handy if you are a rom-whore :D Can someone with this recovery confirm if this option works? The setting says CWR backup in titanium. But I'm thinking it can be tricked into thinking the backups are the same? Just thinking out-loud...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] setite:
I can't speak much to the issue of speed. What I know is that I had Amon RA on my EVO. IIRC CWR was buggered when I first tried it. Since moving to my Thunderbolt I have been repeatedly annoyed with the speed of CWR. I will install Amon RA because I recall never having been equally irritated with it.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigboimike21:
First off.

Galaxy Tab 10.1

OTA update 3.1 with TouchWiz UX. Rooted with no custom ROM. I previously had Starburst ROM with 1.4GHz kernel but experienced some issues so I unrooted my Tab, completely wiped everything, and started fresh. I re-rooted my Tab and restored about 20 games/[

PH using Titanium Pro.

I experienced this issue before but it was just with certain apps. About 2 or 3 I know of. Now I'm having this problem again, except with all apps that have never been previously installed. For example, lets say I've never installed Angry Birds. If I tried to download it now I would get the error: Purchase cancelled. Error processing purchase. Followed by two options, Retry/Cancel. If I click retry its an endless cycle of trying to download. However, if I've downloaded Fruit Ninja before, I'd be able to download again with no problems.

If any other information is needed please let me know. Not sure what else I could provide.

Thanks for any help in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] Hans de Groot:
Hello,

Sorry to post this here. I've been following a few threads about x10 mini pro custom roms for weeks now but after signing up I am not allowed to ask my question to that specific rom there. It said I should post it here first.

I am using the [ROM]MiniCM7 Pro - V7x - GingerBread (2.3.5) by paul-xxx for more than 2 weeks now and it works great, I even have a battery life of about 14 hours now instead of 6 after I stopped using launcher pro and used the standard adw.

But I have 2 serious problems.

The first is that I cannot always unlock my phone. I know I have seen this question a lot but in my case the screen just stays black. There is no slider that does not want to slide. Just a black screen. If I slide open the keyboard I see the lights go on some times. When I connect via usb I can open a shell (via putty) and every thing seems up and running. Just the display is now showing anything.

When pushing buttons and sliding the keyboard several times I sometimes get the screenback. Some times just have to wait 5 minutes or so.

Does anyone have any clue what to do about this?

I tried killing the launcher process but that did not help, it just restarts and even if it did help I do not always have the phone connected to usb.

The other question is about missing calls. I had several missed call alerts while i was sure I was next to the phone all day.

Today I saw it happening for the first time. (because I got a missed call sms and right after that a call on the land line which was the same person who called my cell)

So I called my phone (after letting it go to sleep), used top to see whats going on. I saw the process android.phone.com starting to use more cpu (but not 100%) and I even saw the screen get activated (after 10 seconds or so) but no sound and then it went to voicemail and the phone went dark again but the sms with the missed call came in right away.

Is there a solution to this or are there more people have problems with this?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
