How to flash cwm using terminal emulator:

1.make sure phone is rooted

2.get the recovery.img

3.put the recovery.img in root of your sd

4.open terminal emulator

5.just type su then push enter

6.then type dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 and push enter

7.after u see notes something like "transfered file in ....... seconds", means it works

8.after that just boot into recovery,the cwm should be there.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Brian_SGW_CM9:
Big and important question

I made a backup when I was v5. Its my stock rom. Can I restore with v6 without a problem?

Another question. Is it safe to install back the v5 to my phone when I am on v6?

Just flash remics rom with cwm6..... success no prob...I think it will no problem for flashing others ics rom
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] toroloco73:
why there isn't yet the way to put a name to backup instead of the date and time? these days I'm trying many roms and is very difficult remenber what they are

if I change the name or add a word to the bk folder, during recovery gives me MD5 checksum error
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Karmalot:
So everythings fine with the new cwm version? Any reviews from those who flashed already? Flashing roms thru cwm 6 working? Restoring back up working? Help us out.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] toroloco73:
for me very fine
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Karmalot:
Meaning flashing rom and restoring back up thru cwm6 is working right?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Just Another★Gamer:
Not sure about backups but flashing ROMs and stuff are fine.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Karmalot:
Thanks for the info. I'll wait till backing up is confirmed working. :)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Karmalot:
So no issues on small size back up? And also the blob thing is left unanswered.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
I think the backup was actually stored on the "blobs" folder..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Karmalot:
So when restoring use blobs folder instead?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Brian_SGW_CM9:
It shows like the file is small. But I think. Yes. It access into bolb and restore. I tried a few restores. All works with no error
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Karmalot:
Flashed thru terminal emulator. All done now.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nereuseng:
My all backups include the previous one has broken.

Before that my phone's battery drop out when i was having a backup.

after that i try to restore the previous backup (not the undone one) back it shows Error.

Now i have no backup again and my all apps and message are gone. :(

I go check Bolb It shows empty,

Is that a bug?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] azhiekurosaki:
Yeah I found the "bolb" with this recovery version. and there were so many files in this bolb folder *it makes the copying nandbackup process to computer is taking a long time than usual*. i prefer to use backup from the old recovery 5.5.0.4. even it has a big size. It only has 5 files in backup folder.

and I have a question, can we restore a backup ROM from CWM 5.5 with CWM 6? since I found the backup files were different, I am afraid to restore my old backup ROM with this recovery. * I flashed the CWM 5.5 before I restore a ROM* and honestly it takes time a lot. :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dhada:
Any bugs in CWM6?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] azhiekurosaki:
it happened to me too when using Stock ROM GB XXLM8. in CM9 it did not happen. anyone can answer this? i would really appreciate that,

---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 AM ----------

so far, nothing. just there is a prompt like fix root and flash stock recovery when you want to reboot system when im in a stock rom. in CM9, nothing like that happen. just use it bro. it is worthed to try. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dhada:
ok dude i update my CWM now :good:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] azhiekurosaki:
Nope. I haven't seen any touch version of CWM6.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darkteb:
Is it just me or does the backup process in cwm6 taking much longer time than before?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] azhiekurosaki:
Indeed. Maybe it happens coz in CWM 6, it creates a folder called "bolb" instead of just folder backup like it does in cwm5. For the record, I am still using CWM5 cause it's easier to make backup of the ROM
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Isn't CWM5 incompatible with the latest CM9 from Arco?

_____ SGW + Bionic Cow 2 + xda app _____
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
I think it must be compatible.. Kernel between the Recovery image and the Android OS is different right. Recovery has its own kernel.. so there's no danger to flash ROM.. right? wrong? tell me
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Should be... but Arco himself gave the warning that to flash CM9, we *have* to use CWM6 out risk bricking...

_____ SGW + Bionic Cow 2 + xda app _____
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] willypt:
Hello... CWM5 has the needed files to flash CM9 without failures.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
but before CWM 6 released, acro had wrote before "use CWM 5"
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Brian_SGW_CM9:
Why not just use cwm6?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
I was asking *that* question to @azhiekurozaki ...

_____ SGW + Bionic Cow 2 + xda app _____
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] willypt:
Hello IvanKurnia, Brian_SGW_CM9, and pepoluan

You are free to use which CWM to flash CM9 atm. But, you are also advised by sir Arco68 to flash using CWM6 as it contains new binary and possibly fixes bugs which is surfacing in CWM5 (though, I haven't encountered one by myself).

Hopefully this answers your curiosity and enlightens the topic :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Perhaps 1st. Backup will be slower, but, every backup after will be faster, as it is incremental, and only backs up what is needed!!

Loads if blobs will remain as is, making it faster overall!!

each blob is hash checked for changes, no change to hash, no new backup performed!!

Then I suppose u to ask him in a private message when u limit who answers your question
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Okay, just got forced into restoring a nandroid backup... didn't have any errors -- except one which I'll detail below -- when creating the backup, and restore runs successfully -- within the limitations imposed by the error.

Okay, the error was: ... something similar to "couldn't find /sdcard/.androidsecure, won't back up apps on /sdcard".

Which is somehow expected: Bionic Cow 2 swaps the internal "USB Storage" with the external microSD.

But that caused me to lost the apps I got installed on my SD.

My question: is there an option to also backup the .androidsecure on the /external-sd?

_____ W with Bionic Cow 2 & xda app _____

---------- Post added at 02:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

Okay, out of curiosity, I tried performing another backup. This time, I mounted sdcard and external-sd before running the backup.

This time, I didn't get the ". androidsecure not found" error. Instead, I got a "/sd-ext not found" error. Checking the nandroid backup results, I now see a new file called ".android_secure.vfat.dup"

Does that mean the .androidsecure directory on my microSD is now backed-up?

_____ W with Bionic Cow 2 & xda app _____

---------- Post added at 03:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 AM ----------

Another update...

After spending some time restoring apps using TiBU, I noticed that some apps I originally moved to SD actually got restored from the first backup. Hmmm...

I'll need to investigate further...

_____ W with Bionic Cow 2 & xda app _____
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
May I ask do you have a sd-ext partition created on your SD card?

This would be a Linux partition, used by A2SD from Dark Tremor, used to move your apps, and perhaps Dalvik Cache, to SD card......... it was popular some time ago, and still is on devices with low internal memory space for user apps......

If you don't have this partition, the "no sd-ext" error message is to be expected!!! IMO

Sent from my Momo11 Bird Tablet
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Ahhh, indeed I have one! A secondary partition required by Link2SD to do its magic.

_____ W + Bionic Cow 2 + xda app _____
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Sorry, I should have also said about L2SD partition, or any other apps to SD management method, not just DT A2SD :o

Links2SD can also work with a FAT32 Partition?? AFAIK....

so your partition is definitely ext Linux?? not FAT??

It should be backed up by CWM, as backup would be totally incomplete without it....

and totally unreliable!!!

Needs further research...

Sent either from my Sammy GT-i8150 or my Momo11 Bird Tablet!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Yes, that's correct.

Definitely, I formatted it myself.

Hmmm... maybe because when I did my second backup, I haven't linked anything to it?

Let me test... I'll be back.

Can someone post detailed steps for Flashing CWM with Odin and ADB ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
THESE STEPS WILL INSTALL CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY VIA TERMINAL EMULATOR, SAME AS ADB SHELL..

NEEDS ROOT ACCESS AND BUSYBOX

FOR BEST RESULT, UPDATE SUPERUSER.APK, SU BINARY, AND BUSYBOX

DOESN'T NEED PC..

-go here http://www.mediafire.com/?6wkwiko5gmqhuyr link by acro68 the author of W's CM9 and who made CWM possible to our device

-download and extract it..

-put the recovery.img in /mnt/sdcard

-download "Terminal Emulator" by Jack in market

-open it then type "su" and click enter

-allow root access..

-then type "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13" then click enter

-then some text will show in bottom

-exit terminal.. check the recovery by turning off the device then turn on with volume up botton, home button, and power button pressed together.. until "Galaxy W" screen shows up, release the power button only.. then you will enter CWM

-navigate with up (up) n down (down) vol button and home keys (select) and power (back) and click "reboot system now"

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE BRICKED..

HAPPY FLASHING :D

Here is the way to flash CWM6 using Odin

1. Download Odin & Ancora.ops & recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ancora.tar.md5

2. Enable USB Debugging in Setting-Application- Development

3. Open Odin.

- Select the ops file, and enable one package in options

- then load the md5(recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ancora.tar.md5) file with the One Package button.

- put ur phone it into download mode, first turn off phone, then hold Volume Down + Home + Power Button for a while.

- Phone will turn on and show some screen, then you plug in usb cable (it may look for the driver through Windows Update so please enable your computer's Internet connection).

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] spino1970:
'Cause me too had problems for installing via ADB shell and i've not much experience with odin, and 'cause GREAT arco is asking...searching on web i found this simple alternative (referred to previous CWM by Arco, but working also for latest):

1. You have to root your phone.

2. Copy the downloaded file (recovery) to USB storage. Unplug your phone from PC.

3. Install android terminal emulator from market.

4. Tick USB debugging dekat setting-application-development.

5. Open terminal emulator

6. Now, enter this:

$su
#dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] spino1970:
Ok, guys... big trouble in little china... but now solved.

Just for people that coul have my same problem:

My Galaxy W was stucked in Odin mode after upgrading CWM... i didn't know why!

i just updated like usual:

Copied file in sdcard, and used android terminal emulator. entered:

$su

#dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

and restarted to check if it was tight...

But then, the lil Wonder was just looping starting in ODIN download mode :(((((

Until here, the "problem".

Now the "solution" :)

Because i was in odin mode, i was - almost - sure that mobile can receive data via Odin software.

So, i just downloaded arco68 md5 version of new CWM, the Ancora.ops (like said in OP) and the Odin 4.43 + Galaxy W drivers (I just passed on Win8, so didn't installed yed).

Then, in order

1) installed drivers. Just to be sure, i've installed in win7 compatibility mode.

2) extracted Odin and started

3) connected phone (that was already blocked in download mode)

4) followed instructions from here.

That's it. Now lil Wonder is back from semi-death :P
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
Has just checkd new build 6.0.1.9 and new feature added "Install from sideload"

What is it?

Sorry for my noob question :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sigprof:
From reading the source and commit notes, with this feature you can install an update.zip package by pushing it from a computer without copying the package to the SD card storage first:

Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable.

Select “install from sideload” in the CWM recovery menu on the phone.

Run "adb sideload update.zip" on the computer.

Note that the only way to exit from the sideload mode is to push something from the computer (the comment in source suggests running something like "adb sideload /dev/null" if the “install from sideload” command was selected accidentally). If you selected “install from sideload”, but cannot perform "adb sideload <something>" from a computer, the only remaining way to exit this mode would be to force a reboot by holding the Power button for 10 seconds.

I suppose that the sideload feature is absolutely required for some newer devices which do not have any FAT32-formatted storage (in devices which come with at least ICS from the factory the internal storage may be located in /data/media on the ext4-formatted /data partition, and some devices with reasonably large internal memory do not have a microSD card slot). On Galaxy W you can always attach the internal storage to the computer in mass storage mode (even when booted into CWM recovery) and copy your update.zip there, so the sideload feature is not required even if you do not have a microSD card installed.

The sideloaded update.zip is also temporarily stored in RAM, which limits the size of updates installed through this method (the system partition size on Galaxy W is 552 MB, but the whole available RAM is only about 350 MB, and some RAM is needed for the recovery process itself, so it is possible that some bigger ROMs cannot be installed using the sideload method).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
@sigprof thank you
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Brian_SGW_CM9:
um...how do i flash it with terminal emulator? is it safer than odin? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
Yes, it safe. At least for me :)

Make sure BUSYBOX has installed on your device

-download and extract recovery.img and put in /mnt/sdcard

-open emulator then type "su" and click enter

-allow root access..

-then type "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13" then click enter

- type "reboot recovery" to check your latest version.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] imadiu:
It doesn't matter if it is flashed on GB ROMs right?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Kreaz:
Sure, much safer than ODIN since we don't need any USB connector. Which it means: Brick chance is reduced.

Actually we don't need busybox. My friend tried it in his stock-rooted device.

Nope, any ROM (GB/ICS/JB) will be capable to installing (since 'flashing' is CWM-ROM install related) this release. As long as you follow the instructions.

I sent this message, from SPARTA!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reinjoy:
i don't know, but when i tried to over ride this version over the previous one, odin did'nt recognize my fon..

anyways, after the failure, i managed to install it via terminal emulator..

btw, if you put the 'recovery.img' in your external sdcard, then add '/mnt' before the word 'sdcard' in 'dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/...........'

i think..better put it in your internal sd..lol!
