[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rraghur:
I'm hoping someone here can help with weird problem with CLockworkmod recovery.

Not that it should matter - but, I'm on Nexus One running CM 7.1 with Tiamat 4.1.0 kernel

Have an 8GB microsd card, second partition of 768MB as ext3

Nandroid backup with CWM works. Restoring the backup works with CWM recovery image 2.5.1.4

I've tried 3.0.2.4, 5.0.1.0 and 5.0.2.0 images when they came. In each case, the backup is created properly. however, while trying to restore the backup, it fails with "Error restoring sd-ext"

I've looked around on XDA and google and cant seem to find the cause or anyone else facing the same issues.. Any help appreciated
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
CWM 3.x and higher is known to corrupt the sd-ext. Stay with cwm 2.xx or amon Ra.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rraghur:
I seem to recall that there were multiple posts/info that sd-ext support was brought back in... Also, seems weird that the sd-ext is backed up properly but wouldnt restore..

I guess what I mean to ask is: Is this official? Also does it mean that there are no plans to fix this? At least for N1 users (esp. power users) isnt this a major deal breaker?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bourinos:
I had the same problem.

I solved it by restoring my archive on Ubuntu, after partitioning my SD card with Gparted using a MicroSD card reader.

Save all your data before.

Change the rights after format and partitioning with ''chmod''.

Copy saved datas to the SD card (Fat32).

Restore backup that you want with recovery.

Extract sd-ext datas from the archive and copy them to their original place(sdext).

Reboot and pray...

It worked for me.

P.S. : Sorry for my english.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galloway:
I had the same issue wig a corrupted SD card on recovery....as a result I ditched CWMR and went to AmonRA. It worked great! Recently I have just started using 4ext recovery and absolutely love it. It is now my replacement recovery. It even checks the md5sums of backups before you wipe to prevent the corrupted SD card issue or even the risk of a corrupted back up in general. Check it out if you haven't yet!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rraghur:
Have been looking at 4Ext - but a little hesitant about making the jump. Are my nandroids from CWM compatible with 4Ext? Need a safety net before I ditch CWMR 2.5.x :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galloway:
They may work not sure but you can always keep your CWMR backups and make new ones with 4ext. If the need arises just reflash CWMR from within ROM Manager with no worries. I have several CWMR backups as well as AmonRA backups and now some 4ext backups. The 4ext backups are by far the best and most impressive of any I've used/made. Try it and see what you think....no risk of going back if you decided you needed to.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rraghur:
this is long overdue - but I switched to 4Ext and couldnt be happier now that restore just functions.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffMaN:
i had this problem too. error formatting /sd-ext

how i fixed

it: i booted up my linux, formatted the sd-ext there, and changed the permissions to write all.

user that owned the partition was root : root, and only root could write.

put my sd back in the phone, retried the restore and it worked like a charm.

so its basicly a user permission issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makgun02:
SOLVED

I have the same problem with my wildfire s a510e but after some research on net I solved it

First of all, i used my ubuntu OS to restore sd-ext if you have ubuntu you can download it at its website

(it requires a card reader and ubuntu)

I extracted my sd-ext on my disk as a file after that i had root permission on terminal via ''gksudo nautilus'' and i copied the all file to my sd-ext from ubuntu to sd card

if every thing goes well you can copy your backup to your sd card (fat32) after enter the recovery what you wanna use it

all is that

thanks

Sorry for bad english

the post is the same the above post which is in turkish language

Bende de aynı sorun vardı fakat nette yaptığım biraz araştırmadan sonra sorunu çözdüm

öncelikle ubuntu OS gerekli bu metot için ben ubuntu kullandım ubuntu sitesinden(tekrar yazımı spama giriyor) indirebilirsiniz

(kart okuyu ve ubuntu OS gereklidir)

sd-ext yi buraya çıkar dosya dizini olarak çıkacaktır daha sonra terminale bu komutu yazarak ''gksudo nautilus'' root olarak giriyoruz tümünü sd kartın ext bölümüne atıyoruz

Hata almadığınızı farz ederek devam ediyorum yedeğinizi kartınıza(fat32) yükleyin daha sonra hangi recoveriden isterseniz ondan restore edin büyük ihtimalle sorun çözülecektir Bende çözüldü..

Hepsi bu

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltimateGoblin:
Hi everyone!

From some time on, my Clockworkmod (v 2.5.0.7) backups do not create a correct sd-ext.img file. The file results as being a 0Kb file. Quite bizarre, as I am running a data2sd ROM! Once the backups were working correctly, but now if I try to do a Nandroid restore, the Md5sum mismatch and I cannot proceed further. And that's ok, because otherwise I would not have a correct restore!

The ROM is working well on my phone and I can see no problems at all in my day-to-day use.

Nonetheless, I have had a lot of problems with my actual sd card lately, and I have wiped and reinstalled the rom from scratch quite a few times. Can I have messed up something?

If I insert a brand new sd card (which I'm planning to buy anyway), in your opinion the problem might be solved?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gholfali:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltimateGoblin:
Thanks but for the ROM I'm using version 2.5.0.7 is recommended. And no-one else is experiencing my same problems. I'd like to know why... if possible!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swemoza:
I think you can try to use rmd recovery or 4ext recovery.

With data2sd it means you use sibere script and maybe also droidzone rom.

And if im not wrong, droidzone is using 4ext recovery.

And i use rmd recovery and never get problem to backup and restore data2w or data2ext rom (never tried data2sd yet, but it should works too..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltimateGoblin:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetf1:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 2 (euro) currently running

- KJ1 frankenstein rom

- XEU CSC

- KI3 modem

- speedmod 2-13 kernel

One observation is that the phone tends to cling on to very low 3G signals. Arguably this isn't a problem per se - some may argue it's a good thing -- but I can't help thinking it's not the best for battery life.

This is especially true at work where I do have wifi. At home a 3G microcell solves the signal issue.

I was wondering if people found other modems like KI4 - or even earlier ones tackle this scenario differently. I can imagine never ending debates over which is better or worse of course.

I have tasker and thought about setting that to flip to 2G when wifi was detected, but it seems as if that option doesn't work on the SGS2 even with a rooted environment.

Maybe it's not really an issue...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
You can check in in SamsungServiceMode and then do network priority I guess. All modems by default are set to hang to UMTS then if not switch to GSM. There's an option there however to do GSM first but i'm thinking it's more like if super strong UMTS is available it'll go there instead of staying on GSM.

Hi,

My HTC Raphael is starting to have some hardware problems (again), and I'm considering a new phone.

Since I like the smaller phones, but somehow also the hardware keyboard (not necessary full qwerty), I was looking at the X10 min pro (don't want to spend a lot of money this time). Only downside that I see is the lower screen resolution. Android is an enormous plus (if 2.2 or higher I guess).

Anyone knows of a similar device?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] hygge:
Interesting idea, I have setup swap as descriped but I had to change loop device to /dev/block/loop18 which was the only unused loop device on my mobile.

It was wierd, because all new loop devices I created was quickly reserved for the same app by the system, rather annoying. But luckily I had one unused allready available.

I will let you know how it works, how the system performance is percieved after some testing. I would think it could slow down the device, the memeory is increased but it will be on slower memory.

Hi inteks

Thanks allot for your script, it actually feels like its memory has been increased with 64MB. I have a few times experienced a slight lag when starting up memory hungry games but the homescreen no longer has to redraw when returning from the game :)

It is usually problematic in the Order and Chaos game to chat as the game loads the default keyboard which takes some time as it is removed from memory again as soon as you have send your message. The swap makes the keyboard stay in memory and open up instantly :)

I am also able to keep more applications open during normal use, I would normally have problems having mail, web and other document open at the same time.

I had to modify your script and manually create a new loop device, all loop devices from loop0 to loop38 was allready used.
