[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Your ClockworkMod Recovery is version 5.0.2.0. ROM Manager version you need to get from when you open ROM Manager itself, as it'll say at the top. These are two different things. I'm using verison 4.5.0.1. Update ROM Manager in the Market (or uninstall it from your current ROM, then re-install from the Market).

Try performing the following in ROM Manager: Open it, hit Menu - Settings - turn on Advanced Mode - turn on Erase Recovery - hit back arrow - select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.

Then try flashing the ROM in question.

EDIT: I have had issues with ClockworkMod Recovery verision 5.0.2.0 initially, but after turning on the Erase Recovery feature and re-flashing it, things were fine. Every once in a while it won't backup, so I just reboot and re-flash recovery, do the backup, and it works fine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taufufa:
I have the same problem... I happen after I flash abyss kernel 4.2 to my galaxy note and now I cannot restore my backup, when I boot to CWM it freeze.

Please if someone can help.

Still a problem- No Erase Recovery found in ROM Manager Premium

Using ROM Manager ptremium 5.0.2.4. Turned on Advance Features a waring window came OK'd it but no new feature cropped up!!! Don't know where this Erase Recovery" feature is to be found
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Menu - settings, 7th option down. Advanced mode has nothing to do with the erase recovery feature.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Are you s-off, or bootloader unlocked? If so try reflashing cwm thru hboot or fastboot. Also, are you trying to install this rom thru rom manager? Why not just go straight to recovery your self and flash it from there. Rom manager is known to have issues flashing things.
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
MSM7227 S1Boot has been patched to ignore SIN header signature by the_laser.

You need phone which you either did not unlock by cable, or phone which you unlocked via SEtool2 only.

If you unlocked with Omnius, in C:\ProgramData\Omnius for SE\Backups\Xperia X8

you have file called: Xperia X8_IMEI_DATE_SIMLock.opd

Note, the fixed S1Boot for other tools should come soon.

Restore that TA backup, then use semc.cmd in the_laser's release to unlock bootloader - you'll restore SIM lock this way!

Currently there is no unlocked bootloader for Omnius unlocked phones.

* Kernel build instructions in second post.

* Original post by the_laser with unlock instructions in third post.

What will this allow:

* custom kernels

* better/fully working Gingerbread

* no need for chroot to avoid init crash bug

* overclock/Synaptics fake DT/Cypress real DT/MDDI fix built in kernel

This will not enable:

* real DT on Synaptics digitizer
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
To make custom kernel:

1) Compile it.

2) Grab Image, not

zImage

3) Make ramdisk.gz (cpio ramdisk content, then gzip the cpio archive)

4) Place both files in ./msm7227/sinTools

5) Name then image and ramdisk, no extension, remove existing files

6) Exectue example_build.cmd

7) Grab result.elf.sin from result.zip, rename to kernel.sin and pack in ftf bundle with patched loader.sin from ./msm7227/loader

8) Flash with FlashTool.

By the way devs, I noticed that bootloader unlocking process puts 4 files in /data/local/tmp (expl, fixPart, mapper_2.6.29.ko and (in my case) my7227bootwrite_semcSL) and executes them.

Is it safe to remove these files? If no, what happens if we remove this files? And what happens if we format our phone's /data partition? Will these files be removed?

Sorry for asking so many questions but these questions are quite important as these pertain to S1Boot and meddling with S1boot can cause hard bricks :(.

I hate it, I hate it I HATE the god damn thing!

I think that information about SOD is way too fragmented on the net, the cause of it is not clear, there is no cut clear solution, most of the ROMs have it (even new ones), work around exist but not effective, Samsung have no idea what we're talking about and I'm very in need to vent out and throw things at their support staff!

So, why don't we make use of technology and put all the related information regarding SOD here? Maybe we can eventually fix it and shove the solution up a Samsung representative a$$ just for the fun of it? :)

I assuming a SOD is when your phone becomes totally unresponsive after a period of time using wifi, BT or just a active data connection and the only way to fix it is to reboot the phone by pulling the battery.

Just now. I was on xda app and suddenly the screen started having a titty attack (its happened numerous times before on froyo)

i wasnt worried cuz i figured my processor was just being overworked so i downclocked it to 400mhz.

Usually this happens in miren or dolphin. Then it clicked. It MUST BE ALL THE ENERGY BEING USED TO RENDER THE WHITE! cuz i always use my [phone at or near max brightness....

the thing was, i lowered the brightness and it stopped, but then it just shut off....i had to unplug it and plug it back in for the charger to even start charging it again.

So my question...is the screen dying (which means it has been for a while.) or is the processor dying (which means it has been for a while lol)

How bad is it, I know we can all experience the screen f'ing up just by raising the brightness all the way and go to settings>display>and uncheck power save mode then go to any screen that is white. Its a problem with the super amoled.

My phone freaked out earlier today and after spending some time trying to recover it, I just had to wipe it and reinstall the ROM. Sad day, but no major harm done.

However, I have lost the data to some of my apps, which I would like to return. I have a Titanium backup from ~4 days ago which is fine for most, but some (games) I would like to recover my progress.

I've got a nandroid backup from when the phone wouldn't turn on (gets stuck on white 'HTC Evo 4G' screen), and I'm trying to use unyaffs.exe to pull out the file contents to grab the application data, but it's failing. It says "end of image" twice and then deletes the data (goes from ~400MB file to 0kB).

What am I doing wrong? Ideally I'd like to pull the specific application data from one nandroid and put it into the other, but I'm unsure how to do that. I tried using ext2explore.exe and that isn't working either.

tl;dr -- I want to extract some application data from a nandroid backup, but the unyaffs.exe approach isn't working. Help?

From what I've read about newer handsets, the phone needs some time to figure out know how to convert raw readings into percentage of capacity. I believe, the phone figures out how much charge a battery has based on the voltage. And, I don't think the relationship is linear.

My battery seemed to be horrible the first day. Today, I've gone through 30% after 5 hours, with the screen being on for 35 minutes and wifi connected for just under two hours. I don't know if the battery is "breaking in" or the phone is reading the level differently, but things are looking better.
