I'm not sure how ClockworkMod handles this but I've been using 4EXT Recovery for a few months and it will automatically determine which format the ROM you're flashing uses and convert if necessary. Works for both fresh ROM flashes or backups.

I've been running ARHD and wanted to pull something off of the stock ROM backup I had. When I restored the stock nandroid, 4EXT formatted the existing ext4 partitions to ext3 and restored the backup. Then when I restored ARHD it automatically switched 'em back to ext4.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Thanks for the responses guys. Still looking for someone to answer positively on this last question. I don't want to be the someone asking about how to get my phone to boot when it is stuck on the white screen. lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ridethisbike:
i'm with the other guy, i use 4EXT. but when making a backup it says "writing ext4 data" (or something along those lines) for each partition that uses ext4. it does the same for ext3.

i would be inclined to believe that CWM does the same thing and changes the file system accordingly. one way to check if it records the file system type would be to look at the tar files. go to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/whatever-you-named-your-backup that folder should contain, at a minimum, the following files: system.xxxx.tar, data.xxxx.tar, boot.img, and an md5 file. the xxxx should be the file system that particular backup uses.

EDIT: that is assuming that CWM uses tar backups and not yaffs2. not sure how those backups are structured. either way the filesystem should still get recorded some how.

i think you'd be fine just restoring. there would have been massive amounts of new threads popping up saying "OMGIDIDARESTOREANDMYPHONEISFUX0RED!!!!" if anyone had any problems once ext4 showed its face. know what i mean?

as an alternative. why not just flash 4EXT Recovery? since you KNOW it does what you're asking? kinda takes the guess work out... lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] System92:
Hi guys,

I've been wanting to learn how to program Android for a while now out of personal interests as well as to contribute to the community. I've tried looking into it but all I find is how to program Android applications in Java. I'm looking more on the lines of programming to develop ROMs and such, would that be in Java as well?

I'm not a programmer (only took a Python course in college) but I'd like to learn and if any one could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joshoon:
Hi there,

I haven't flashed a new Android ROM in a while on my good old HD2.

Things got changed...

I have magldr installed, and I also just installed CWM and seems to work fine too.

And I partitioned my SD card with a 1GB ext4 partition.

When I flashed a ROM in CWM, and I want to boot it, it keeps being stuck in the bootscreen of the ROM after magldr loaded it.

And yes, I have been waiting like 30 minutes, because I know the first boot takes a while, but not 30 minutes...

I have this issue with every Android ROM, and I am wondering what the problem could be, because I'm already struggling with this for lots of hours, but still haven't find any solution.

Windows Phone 7 via DAF.exe seems to work fine though, so my guess it that there is something wrong in partitions? but I am not sure at all.

I hope anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Joshoon :rolleyes:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joshoon:
But still I am wondering what I'm doing wrong in my progress.

Well I am not sure about that actually :O

I also tried a magldr partition of 445MB.

And I used the Recovery_400M.

But CWM looks to work fine.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joshoon:
I tried again.

Want to flash this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1275119

I made a 1GB ext4 partition before.

With HD2 ToolKit I made a 175MB System partition, and a 8MB cache size.

Guess what?

It seems that it's booting now :D

Still waiting till it's fully booted, but I'll keep you updated.

Thanks kylew1212, you made me understand the 5/175/8 formats.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cicnabru:
I also get stuck on bootscreen with every rom that i flash with CWM.

Until i flashed a new kernel today i didnt have that problem (using ThypooN CM7). When it got stuck i did a task 29 to try and fix it.

Maybe i am missing something, this is what i do using HD2 Toolkit:

task 29

flash 2.15.50.14 radio (at first i didnt do that but i makes no difference)

install MAGLDR

install CWM

flash rom with CWM

I am using a 150/5 patiton for the ROM (recomemded in the OP), i also tried 160/10 but again it doesnt work.

CWM installs the zip normally. When i try to boot the rom it just gets stuck at bootscreen. I tried leaving it for 20 min and it still doesnt work.

I even installed wm6.5 and did the whole process of installing MAGLDR again to see if that helps but the same thing happens.

I also tried using cLK and got stuck again with every rom.

cLK, MAGLDR and CWM all work just fine, that is why i have no idea why the rom gets stuck at bootscreen.

It seems to me that the CWM doesnt install the rom corectly. The only rom that does work is AmeriCan Android becouse i doesnt need CWM.

Is there anything i can do to fix it?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
I'm not sure what's going on. I've flashed many roms with cwm. Never a problem. However if you think cwm is your problem try another recovery, there are a few more available now. I've started using team win recovery project (twrp)

One other thing. It is not necessary to reflash the radio everytime. Once it is installed it does not uninstall unless you change to a different radio.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cicnabru:
I also flashed many roms with CWM and i never had a problem before.

Now i tried twrp with clk (clean install with task 29) and it flashes the rom normally. After i reboot i get the bootscreen, then i should get the boot animation and all i get is a black screen (the backlight is on). Few seconds later the phone vibrates like it booted but the screen is still black. If i restart the phone the same thing happens again.

I guess i'll have to use wp7

Thanks anyway

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

I finally got it to work :)

It was the last thing i tried before flashing wp7. In wp7 OP it says that you have to install wm6.5, let it boot and then install MAGLDR. The important thing here is that you dont use task 29.

I installed wm6.5, let it boot, then install MAGLDR and CWM (without task 29) and now it works perfectly :)

This is a must for the g2x. If you use from manager it only fake flashes clockwork mod recovery and makes you unable to flash roms.

Typical way to achieve root on the g2x is to.

1. Nvflash cwm

2. Create a nandroid backup.

3. Flash a rom that has root.

Don't bother with rom manager or super one click.

Wait. I know what to do and you wont lose any data. Give me a minute.

If you don't have zip with your ROM, download this one.

Open that zip with 7zip, go in /system/app/ and drag "SystemUI.apk" on your desktop.

You have rooted GN so I guess you have ADB. Run cmd and enter those commands:

adb devices

adb remount

adb push <full path to the extracted SystemUI.apk> /system/app/SystemUI.apk

Reboot and you should be OK.

Let me know, if it works ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goodcovv:
1) I think my stock ROM must be the same as

this one

So can i grab systemUI.apk from this one?

2) There is other ways to do it without using ADB?

I FIND HOW IT CAN BE DONE!!

I do everything that you said, but i using ROOTexplorer directly on my phone. THANK YOU! you the best!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
NOTE: Please see the following post for the original modification (as far as I'm aware) and the manual method of doing the same thing: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20869996&postcount=7

This "update.zip" style installer simply automates the process of modifying /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml to make the tablet permissions act the same as previous versions of android.

In particular, programs with the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission will be able to write to the removable storage card. (Honeycomb changes this to require WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE which very few, if any, 3rd party programs use.)

If you are having issues with programs writing to your storage card, this might fix it.

This uses 'sed' to make the edits. If this is installed twice, it won't re-modifying the file. (However, if you have manually edited the platform.xml file, and then run this script, it might make create duplicate, but harmless, <group> entries. Before making the modification to platform.xml, it will create a backup of the file (called platform.xml.backup) in the /system/etc/permissions directory (if the backup doesn't already exist.)

Instructions:

Download the file, and place on your sdcard. Reboot into recovery and install .zip from sdcard. Choose this file. Done..

(I've tested this with my CWM based recovery and it works. It _should_ work with the factory recovery as well, but I haven't tested... Please reply with your results.)

Support:

None. If you aren't familiar with using recovery to install updates, you should research the topic before continuing.

More info:

If you are curious, here is the sed command I'm sending, using busybox compiled from the cyanogenmod sources:

sed -e '/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >$/N;s/\n\(\([ \t]*\)<group gid="sdcard_rw".*$\)/\n\2<group gid="media_rw" \/>\n\1/' -i /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

What that means is: do an "in-place" edit on /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml, and find the line containing "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE >", then if the next line contains some whitespace followed by "<group gid="sdcard_rw" />", replace that sdcard_rw line with two new lines, the first being "<group gid="media_rw" />" and the second being the exact line that contained "sdcard_rw". I purposely put the media_rw line before the sdcard_rw line to prevent this same sed command from finding the same match again. In other words, if you run this sed command 50 times on the same file, it'll only make the change the first time.

(I'm not fluent with sed, so if someone knows a better way to do that, please feel free to educate me.)

File is attached below...

UPDATED Feb 5th, 2012: the script will change the filesystem permissions of the platform.xml file before attempting to edit it. This MAY overcome issues people have been having with non-rooted devices, but I'm unable to test so I don't know.

Okay, well, it appears that this won't work for a device that doesn't have CWM Recovery installed. Not sure why, but at least I've repeated it.

Take care
