Awesome, that was what I was going to try to get out of his recovery partition:)

Thanks!! This is much better :)

I should have some compiled images up before night's end.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stewarta:
@realyst2k and Koshu: I will make this change and give it a go. Thank you.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] photonmedia:
So the CWR worked fine for me initially. I was able to take a full backup (/data included) and then did a wipe data/cache and rebooted.

Now, though, when I boot into CWR it will reboot itself after about 30 seconds.

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stewarta:
CWR ROW 32Gb works fine

@realyst2k: I am in your debt. The ROW 32GB version worked.

1. I made sure I had a copy of /etc/install-recover.sh (install-recovery.sh.orig).

2. I used terminal emulator (could have used QtADB from Win x64 PC) and

did as follows:

su
mount -o,rw,remount /system,
echo "#!/system/bin/sh" > /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
dd if=/data/local/ventana_recovery_row_32.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

3. I then shut down and rebooted with a Vol+ while pressing Power on button and as soon as it vibrated I pressed Vol+and it booted into ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWR). As soon as it did so, I rebooted into the Honeycomb system.

4. After again powering off, I then booted into CWM Recovery and successfully backed up the ROM.

This was successful, but reported as follows

no sdcard/.android-secure found (etc) (32Gb)

no ext sdcard found (yet CWR backed did a Nand backup to this 32Gb card)

(In reality both are there)

So thank you ... that is a major achievement!

For those who want to go back to stock bootloader, remember to rename /etc/install-recovery.sh.orig (or whatever) to /etc/install-recovery.sh and then go back into Terminal Emulator (or QtADB from a PC) and:

$ su
# dd if=/system/recovery-from-boot.p of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

CWR boot ok, but backup won't work (restarts itself by backing up system)...

18384XG (32 GB + 3G) with 32 GB SDHC card, A310_02_0037_0074_ROW
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stewarta:
@mari8b: I think the secret is to reboot back into the system after your first boot into CWR without doing anything in the first visit to CWR. Well, that is my experience at least.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] ChadH42:
Has anyone looked into the problem with the 32GB US version failing to backup?

Mine fails halfway into backing up /system. Also, it shows the output file name containing ext4 which tells me that CWR thinks /system is ext4 filesystem.

True??

EDIT: I just flashed the 64GB version on my 32gb unit and CWR ran longer and got 3/4 thru /system before re-booting. Clue??
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quyTam:
Same experience here. My cwm works sometimes, don't understand when, but thinks its maybe 50 %.

I also try a wipe and sdcard folder is deleted :(
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stewarta:
I can only suggest as I did in Post 134. My 0074_ROW 32Gb works.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] twospirits:
Same here on my 32GB US Thinkpad, but on mine it reboots about a minute CWR comes up in any selection, not only backup.

TS
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Koshu:
Can someone with reboot problems verify if stewartas hint works?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] realyst2k:
I noticed the same behaviour as stewarta, though I figured it was a fluke. Only happened once so I hadn't bothered ADB logging it to find out why it did that(since it won't do it any longer).

So yeah, give stewarta's suggestion a try.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mari8b:
It doesn't help... (I wonder if yes)
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quyTam:
for me it seems to work randomly.

Try it several times to check if it works...
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stewarta:
After the experiences of a few of you, I decided to do another Nand backup, and report the output. The first thing is it did work again and placed the second backup with the first in /external_sd/clockworkmod/backup ... so that's good.

The output was as follows:

CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7
Backing up boot image
.... recovery image
.... system
.... data
No sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage
Backing up cache
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext
Generating md5 sum ...
Backup complete

The only things I can see that may be issues are:

1. The /sdcard/.android_secure folder is missing .... needed?

2. CWR is calling for the sd-ext, but the Android system names this external_sd I don't know if this is an issue or not??
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quyTam:
have you tried a wipe data to see if it skip "sdcard" folder ? (make a backup of your sdcard folder somewhere to be sure)
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stewarta:
Not sure I want to go down that path. I think there is a simpler solution ... but first I'd like to see realyst2k's experiences with this.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Jon2555:
It isn't a problem. It tries to backup apps moved to external storage but that partition isn't existing so it just skipped it. Can someone with reboot problems post its output?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quyTam:
difficult to post output when it reboot...

It begin the backup an after some time it reboot itself during the backup.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Jon2555:
I think that log is made every time when you use recovery by default so you just have to post it but I'm not so sure where it's stored. I'll check.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] realyst2k:
Sorry, was sick and busy :)

What we need really is the log of a rebooting backup attempt. If yours consistently reboots on attempt, please try the following:

Boot into CWR. Try the backup until it reboots. Reboot into CWR again, select "Advanced", then "report recovery". It will tell you where it stored the log. Make a note of it.

Boot into Android. Find the log with your File Manager of choice, paste its contents here.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] photonmedia:
I don't think the reboot problem is necessarily related to the backup process. For me (16GB US), I could boot into CWR and no matter what I do, whether just let it sit there or going through the menus, After about 30-45 seconds it would reboot itself.

I re-flashed the latest "ventana_recovery.img" and booted into it then rebooted into Android like stewarta suggested and it seems to have made all the difference in the world. No I am in CWR and it has been sitting there for 5 minutes with no reboot. Attempting a backup now. I will report back with further updates.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quyTam:
Thanks, will post log next time I try
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] mari8b:
You were right... I tried it again and this time it works. I already made a nand backup of my tablet's rom...
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] paperclip69:
Hi

I am on 0075_uk with a 32GB version, i want to put on CWR but not sure which image to go for at the moment as there has been a lot of updates, any chance the first post could be updated and cleaned up so people like me know which image is going to work for our device and how to do it?

cheers

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] SoonerLater:
I second the motion. It would be very, very helpful if post #1 in this thread were updated with links to ALL of IMG files, plus updated instructions. To encourage JCase to update Post #1, here's all the IMG file download links that I've found:

Post # 1 -- cwr_ventana_2.img.

Post #71 --

ventana_recovery.img

ventana32_recovery.img

ventana64_recovery.img)

Post # 117 -- recovery_ventana_row16.img

Post # 131 --

ventana_recovery_row_16.img

ventana_recovery_row_32.img

ventana_recovery_row_64.img

Updated instructions appear throughout the thread, but as near as I can tell, the *current* instructions are as follows:

adb push [COLOR="Red"][insert name of IMG file here][/COLOR] /data/local/
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
echo "#!/system/bin/sh" > /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
dd if=/data/local/[COLOR="Red"][insert name of IMG file here][/COLOR] of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

FYI... this thread at thinkpadtabletforums.com has these instructions.

ADB app and drivers can be downloaded here.

Note: I take absolutely no credit whatsoever for any of the above. My hat's off to the heroes whose work made it possible for us to root our TPTs and who ported CWM to the TPT.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] slpin:
once i went into the mount menu and manually mount everything, the back up worked
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quinting:
Tried downloading this (I have the 32GB ROW), but that url doesn't work...seems the /files folder is missing...if you go to the root of the URL you get a list of folders, and files is not there...any other place to download it?

Thanks!

Never mind...I realized I had downloaded it earlier...so I had it - link still isn't working, but I did get CWM installed and am doing a backup right now...ready for CM9!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] DerBer:
I Need the file, too. But it seems completely unavailable right now. Could anyone provide a working link?

Thanks in andvance.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] realyst2k:
Seems like the files are available again. Will look into a mirror if this happens again, though I imagine this was probably just a fluke(this is nicely volunteered spaced by a contributor, after all, not some big Megauploadish site) that looks to have been corrected.

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

Run this in an adb shell

su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/data/local/uk_dump

And send upload/post the file to http://everyrandom.com/files/.

Post the link here and when I get a chance, I'll compile an image for you.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] jhankinson:
Does anyone have a backup of the original /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (32GB US version)? I stupidly did not make a backup of mine. This is needed to restore the original recovery right?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stewarta:
@obscure.detour: Perhaps follow the guide to removing CWR, then re-install ..... but the first time you are in CWR, simply reboot back into Honeycomb (i.e., do nothing else). Then the next time you boot into CWR you should not experience any more random reboots. That worked for me a some others, so perhaps it will for you too.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quyTam:
Maybe I figure out when it reboots (must do more testing to confirm).

I've noticed that cwm reboot when I use an application to reboot to enter in recovery.

When I do a clean shutdown and restart the tablet, it seems to work.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] twospirits:
Why I'll be damn. You are correct. I've been rebooting using one of the reboot apps (Reboot Control Widget) and it always reboots when I go into CWM to try to do a backup. Deleted that app and did a regular clean shutdown and restarted the tablet into CWM and now it did a full backup.

Finally, thanks you so much.

Edit:

It did a full backup of boot image, recovery image, system, cache and data.

But it states no /sdcard/.android_secure found and

no sd-ext found

so it skip doing those two.

Now to figure out how to update to OTA2 without it giving me that dead android mascot with the red triangle. lol

TS
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] quyTam:
Good to know that it finally works for you :)

Seems that my observation is correct
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] obscure.detour:
I can confirm that this method is the fix all for CWR rebooting randomly. A clean shutdown and then entering clockworkmod recovery from a normal boot works. I have done this, and just ran a nandroid backup with zero issues. Backed up boot, recovery, system, and data perfectly fine.

quyTam is my hero :) Mad props to you good sir. Good observation :P
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] twospirits:
Yes CWR works great now. Only reason I was using that reboot control widget was to avoid having to use the power button so much and mess it up as some have mentioned, but hell I rather have CWR do a full back up than having a fast reboot option.

Off-topic: Now that I did a full recovery, I also was able to update the tablet with the newer OTA2 and still keep root and CWR.

TS
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] obscure.detour:
Same for me, was using QuickBoot just to minimize the use of the power button because I am scared it is going to stop working on me eventually :rolleyes:

Off-topic: @TS, which update method did you use? Did you use GodfatherIP's newest modified version via CWR he posted today? And did you have a modified SystemUI.apk? (I changed my icons to stock HC, as I hated Lenovo's bright white icons)
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] twospirits:
Yes, I used GodFatherIPs latest modified version via CWR and took screenshots of the process so I plan on making a newbie step by step at one point today.

I didn't install a modified SystemUI.apk. I might as well since the white ones are too bright.

TS
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] stewarta:
@TS: I guess I wasn't clear enough LOL.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Noneus:
I think I did something bad :( I flashed a CWM which is apparently not for my tablet. It doesn't get through the Booting the recovery kernel. I used QuickBoot to boot to recovery. Because the recovery is not booting the boot-to-recovery-flag from QuickBoot is never cleared and the tablet tries to load the faulty cwm I flashed everytime. I think I bricked it :( Anybody knows a solution?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] ker2gsr:
Does it boot up at all?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Noneus:
No. It only displays the message Booting to recovery kernel.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] rangercaptain:
Only push the power button long enough to see Lenovo label, but push the vol+ key many times until you are in the recovery (the booting recovery kernel message shows at top left).
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] ker2gsr:
hes already stuck at the screen from what im reading the problem is he cant get past that its stuck in a bootloop

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

check and see if your device is recognized in adb while in that screen i highly doubt it but check anyway if so try pushing right recovery
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] amc0:
Yep, your device is bricked.

Device is not recognized in adb but it is recognized in apx-mode (holding the rotation button on boot-up) so you could do something with NVFlash.

I've been browsing the web for a NVFlash solution without any success so the only thing you can do is send it in for a repair.

I got the same thing and I had to send mine in to Lenovo so they could replace the motherboard as it was "faulty".
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] jhankinson:
You may still have hope. In this post they claim to have the correct key for issuing commands in APX mode at least for the K1, so maybe the key is the same for the TpT. I don't really know much about this mode but maybe you could boot into it by holding the auto-rotate button and then try to issue a command to reboot normally.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Atom2007:
I did the same and didn't found a solution. So I sent it to Lenovo (via Supportline where I get a Ticketnumber) and now I am wating if they repair it for free or maybe call back for a repair fund. :cool:
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] paperclip69:

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] paperclip69:
Should also mention its the 32gb version
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] obscure.detour:
Why does doing a factory reset or formatting /data within CWR format the sdcard? In every android device I've owned with CWR, doing a factory reset and does not format your sdcard. And when you specify to only format /data it should only format that directory.

I've flashed/rooted/tinkered with many many android devices with CWR and have never had this issue of it constantly formatting the sdcard. Does any one else have this problem?

This just started happening on my build machine after completing a recent version of ICS for my Nook. Now all of a sudden I can't complete a zip for any of my different Android devices??? I am not a Linux pro like most so this may be an easy fix but as it stands I am dead in the water. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NineInchNails:
try make clobber before building again. It'll clean up everything and start fresh which MAY help. Not familiar with your error but am familiar with building from source.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jschill31:
Man that was the first thing I tried... I have formatted and reloaded my entire build machine. I am starting to think it has something to do with the new tool chain in sdk. There is literally nothing online except for my error.

This sucks...I have 3 different projects going now and can't work on anything.:confused:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NineInchNails:
Could it be because your trying to build with 32bit and not 64bit?? Had all sorts of ICS build errors until JB helped me figure out it was simple as my machine not being setup right
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jschill31:
You are correct in that I am running 32 bit but I was having no issues building ICS for the Nook with it? It ran perfectly for a good month while I was working towards audio on the Nook...ran a build at least once a night. Android SDK released some update that I like a sucker installed. It may have nothing to do with this "broken pipe/minigzip issue" but that was the only thing that changed. What is strange is that it persisted even after I formatted and reloaded. I am not sure if this machine can run 64-bit, it is an old AMD Athalon 1ghz. Don't care if it is slow, do you think it will run? If so I certainly can format again and start over, I am not vested in 11.10...actually I don't like Unity one bit. Please post which Ubuntu you are running since I ultimately want to work on ICS and our beloved HeroC. With all of you guys moving on it is time a few of us start learning for ourselves.:)

Thank you Dastin.... I guess I could have went out on a limb since it is the only other choice on their website. :D So no one has ever seen this error before? Leave it to me, what blows me away is how it remains even after a format and re-install. If the machine had not built prior I would lean towards equipment or missing dependencies. I assume it would be better for me in the long run to revert to 64-bit if it will run on my pc. I think Matt would agree if finally is cold in the Midwest...

Cheers from the Tundra!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NineInchNails:
I did every type of search possible. Even searched in places where I've found info Google won't. Still nothing. I mention 32 bit because I had all sorts of errors I never found info on because I was running 32 bit. Once I installed 64 bit all my building problems and errors I never did figure out went away. Might be the case for you who knows....

But yes winter finally settled in here... for a little bit at least. I'm not gonna complain one bit though because we've been lucky for how winter can get here. We should be under 5+ feet of snow and below freezing temps but tomorrow we're expecting 35. Most of December was 40's.... We're not used to that...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jschill31:
That is the truth for here in Sioux Falls as well. We usually don't get as much snow as you guys but the temp sure has been sweet. Are you north or south of the cities?

I know I35 well...one of our retail stores is located in Medford. I am the electronics buyer for Karl's TV. So check this crap out, I formatted again last night and loaded 10.04 this time. I must say I like the interface much better than Unity but the same exact error again? I am beginning to think that one of the build binaries is corrupt but I am sure we would be hearing something. The error is so general that it really does not give a direction to start looking except for minigzip & ramdisk. I would lean towards equipment if I hadn't been able to build with it before....

I was trying to figure out what this mod is called or referred to as. I saw it on a classmate's Gnex and been seeing it on a few roms. I wanted to see which roms have it, but I wasn't sure what to search for unless I just go through the screen shots on each one. Either way I wanna call it the correct thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Peesashiz:
I use the AOKP ROM which has that. And I think there a some others.

AOKP is one of the more popular roms though. As for what they are called, I guess they would just be quick controls, or power controls or something like that. Not really sure though.
