Sd-ext is nothing but app data on SD if you don't use it then there ain't **** to format as far as his SD that's different for real but I really doubt that the issue is something common or anything anyone needs to freak out about writing a huge post on how the dev is so wrong here. Tons of us use this recovery with no problems so calm the hell down

sk8er

Thanks for this. I'd much rather have control of my own recovery as opposed to letting ROM mangler handle it. I've had the phone four days and have used this recovery the whole time. Backup and restore are working fine. Getting access to mounting the external SD would be huge so thanks for looking into that.

As far as people having their SD card wiped I would have to guess their are hundreds of people using this and to have only one report it leads to user error. The SD-ext was also not backed up by recoveries on my last phone as well(SGS4G). Never an issue at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bluntman420:
Hey listen, the only reason i said what i said was because of the way you've been posting. If you are on Sk8's side than why the uncalled for RANT? Let's just drop it now cuz it aint getting us nowhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
theres no reason to choose "sides". we are all on the same side......... making our phone better than samsung intended it to be :-D

in terms of getting a way to choose whether you want to mount internal/external usb storage from recovery: my boss is on the Team DRH (viewsonic gtab dev team) and he is the creator of the touch recovery for the gtab and he said his team has been trying to find a way to be able to mount both and they are having trouble as well. just because the way recovery looks at the different storage locations its a bit tricky. its definitely on the to-do list though and hopefully will be able to be done someday *crosses fingers*

and again, if someone out there with a little more coding knowledge wants to give it a go the code is at https://github.com/sk8erwitskil

I had the backup working... Had the .hidenandroidprogress file in the correct location, mounted the sdcard prior to backing up, & made a successful backup... Now a few weeks later i try to backup again and hang at backing up data.

I've double & triple checked everything, but end up having to do a battery pull a half hour into the process to reboot the phone. After rebooting, i can locate the backup in the backup folder, but not sure if it's a complete, usable backup.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
if it doesnt complete then dont try to restore it as its not complete and will not work correctly. are you backing up to internal or external sdcard? do you have an external sdcard in your phone? if you do can you take it out and go into recovery, mount /sdcard and tell me if backing up to internal works for you?

also once you boot into recovery you can connect your phone to your computer through usb and run this command (if you have adb installed)

adb shell tail -f /tmp/recovery.log

then run a backup while that command is running and if it fails then copy everything that is thrown out of that command prompt and paste it somewhere and send it to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eachitandi:
I figured it out, & knew it would be something stupid i overlooked... Amazing what coming back to it after a good nights sleep can do...

The first time around i put the .hidenandroidprogress file on both the internal & external sdcard. My external is only 4G and i only use it for music and to store copies of a backup. When i was double checking everything last night, i never checked for the added file on the external (my thoughts: no need for it to be there, i mount/sdcard and save to internal anyway). Well this morning i checked it to see if it was there before trying your suggestions, and it was gone. I added it and was able to complete a backup in about 3 min. So apparently i need that file in both locations regardless of where I'm backing up to? I mount internal and save to internal...

Oh well, thanks for the quick reply and it's great to know there is support for us noobs when it's needed!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
awesome. im glad you got it working. yah i guess its better to just have it in both locations. it cannot hurt so might as well. the code is only looking for it in the path /sdcard/clockworkmod so whatever location is mounted at that mount point it should find it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bluntman420:
Hey sk8, were you able to create the CWM with both options for usb storage? If not could you please create a separate version that mounts the external sd card when MOUNT USB STORAGE is used. Thanks!

I flashed this recovery to replace the regular non-touch one in order to install the CM9 alpha for our phone. I didn't perform a backup (don't really know why I didn't though :p), though now when I try to backup to either the internal or external storage the backup freezes at a random point and I have to long press the power button to reboot. Have I missed a step or forgotten to do something crucial?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dixit:
Yes. You missed a step. The last part of the first post where it talks about creating a file. Do that on both internal and external SD paths and it will work after that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cmlohff:

Recovery not working

Hey guys, I was having issues running a backup until I added the .hidenandroidprogress files in both internal and external sd. Now the back up works perfectly fine.

However, I'm having a problem with actually restoring the backups I make. While messing around with it, I ran a complete backup, rebooted on the same rom, and then tried to run the backup. The restore worked perfectly. Then I flashed another rom, rebooted, and went back later to run the recovery on the backup that I had just previously proved working and I received a "could not restore system" error. this happened at least four or five times and I never did actually get it to run the recovery. I tried mounting/unmounting sd card, formatting system, wiping caches, wiping, etc. all to no avail. I finally had to reflash a new rom just to get it back up and running.

Any idea why it's not letting me run recoveries?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
yah the bar is going to not show any progress since that file is in place. thats what the file does :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
do this:

-plug phone into usb on computer

-run "adb shell tail -f /tmp/recovery.log"

- mount /sdcard

- run the restore

- when it fails, copy all the output from that command and paste it into a text file

- send that file to me

ill look at the log and see whats going wrong
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
i created one that only mounts the external sdcard. its here: EXTERNAL mount

i dont have an external sdcard to test it but it should mount only the external sdcard and not the internal. let me know how it works.

excuse my ignorance, but when i try to create the .hidenandroidprogress file in either my internal or external sd cards, terminal emulator says "touch: not found". i've checked all over the forums, and cannot find a solution to this issue (or even discussion). Please advise as to what I am doing wrong.

For the record I am using CWM Touch installed via ODIN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
hmm... boot into the OS, install busybox. (download the busybox installer app from the market. open it up and run the install.) then connect to adb and run "adb shell touch /sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress" (if you are on cm9 you are going to have to create the file in /mnt/emmc/clockworkmod)

OR

just plug your phone into your computer and mount the usb storage and go to the clockworkmod folder and manually create the .hidenandroidprogress file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RK:
Hey just an idea can you write a code to put that file there when recovery boots or something? I have no idea how hard or easy that would be but might reduce the traffic on this thread :-)

Is the "format external sdcard" working? My wife is giving me her 8 gig microsd and I want to format it to wipe it clean, but don't want a surprise (example: it formats the internal instead). Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
if you install it from the install zip i made then it creates that file for you. if you install via odin or using the recovery.img then you need to create it yourself.

if i had an external sdcard to test i would but i dont see any reason why it shouldnt work. if you dont feel comfortable or dont want to make a backup just boot into the OS and format it from the settings app. thats 100% guaranteed to work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eachitandi:
In reference to my previous post...

1) Backed up my 4Gig sd card to PC

2) replaced it with my wifes 8Gig

3) booted into recovery

4) tried to format external sdcard to wipe it clean

5) got an error message that it failed

6) remembered about a ROM I was on with my captivate that referred to the eternal as emmc

7) took a chance and formatted emmc

8) that formatted my internal sdcard

So what would format if internal sdcard was chosen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] liquidzoo:
Formatting the Internal card will format the internal phone memory, same as emmc. What you want is to format the External card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eachitandi:
That was a typo that I corrected, I tried formatting EXTERNAL and got the error message, tried formatting emmc and it formatted my internal sd.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
in recovery the internal sdcard is mounted as /emmc and the external sdcard is mounted as /sdcard. so by formatting emmc you are telling it to format the internal sdcard
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eachitandi:
Then what is /sdcard_ext? That's what I thought the external would be, when it didn't work I guessed that it was emmc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
there is no /sdcard_ext. when booted into android the external sdcard is mounted as /sdcard/external_sd/ and the internal is mounted as /sdcard. when booted into recovery the internal is /emmc and the external is /sdcard, unless you dont have an external sdcard installed at the time you boot into recovery, then internal can be mounted as /sdcard by manually mounting /sdcard in mounts and storage (which needs to be done to make a backup/restore to/from the internal storage)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eachitandi:
Ok, you right, there is no /sdcard_ext... It's /sd-ext. That's what I tried to format first thinking it was going to be the external sd card.

So...in recovery...if internal sd card is /emmc, and external is /sdcard, what is /sd-ext?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sk8erwitskil:
/sd-ext is a legacy option that was used for froyo. it was a partition on the sdcard that was used for APPS2SD. it is not used anymore in ICS or GB
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eachitandi:

4.Reboot to "Download mode"

5.ODIN flashing to something like stock leak to anything else
