[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] They Drew First Blood:
I'm almost positive nandroid does recognize the file system- I think that is the point of nandroid basically, to take a snapshot of your entire phone including file systems and cache- but I ran into issues restoring apps with TiBu after a nandroid backup/restore between two rom versions, and it seemed to be due to a different format of file system. I'm no expert however...

[EVO 4G General] Notorious:
Its good and bad. Its good because it frees up alot of memory but its bad because it slows your phone down because the dalvik cache just keeps building up and up and you need a high class sdcard or it will slow your phone down more also. And when you wipe dalvik cache in recovery it will wipe dalvik cache on internal,sdext, ect
[EVO 4G General] slyd0997:
Sorry I don't know other than it gives you more internal memory. Maybe ask over on the androidforum.

[EVO 4G General] Notorious:
Only if you use sense you'll notice it ;)
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Actually, that could be why the few times I ran 3.5 ROMS, the lag was almost unbearable at times
[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
What class SD card do you have?
[EVO 4G General] Notorious:
Go to a deodexed sense rom and move dalvik cache to sd then don't reboot your phone at ALL just setup your usual stuff and you'll notice the tremendous lag after a couple of hours
[EVO 4G General] guih:
Do it only if you have a class 4 card. I currently moved it to sd on swag rom x and everything is running well.
[EVO 4G General] Exleh:
You need like a class 6 or something, I have a class 4 32GB but it gets slow so I put it on the internal memory and I wipe it occassionally.
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
im gonna have to throw my 2 cents in as DONT move it unless you seem to be running out of internal space... cant say i notice much lag with aosp but i have noticed with sense 3.5 roms... and as a side not its with a 32gb class 10 pny card sooo /twocents
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
TBH, I have no idea. It's a 16gb Sandisk I bought over a year ago
[EVO 4G General] aburgthing:
During the time I was using Synergy I initially ran Dalvik from the SD card and had persistent lag. Moving it back to internal solved this problem. You can get an app called Apps2SDGUI which is a easy graphical interface that allows you to very easily control Dark Tremors Apps to SD (obviously you are partitioned right?) so you can experiment. I have a lot of apps but still maintain between 180 - 160 mb of free internal space which for me is the sweet spot running Dalvik from internal.

I built a couple of CWM Recovery Nandroid backups for all the folks looking for a stock restore image that is pre-rooted and devoid of bloatware.

Built on: 1838CTO 32GB US Thinkpad Tablet with Gobi 3000 WWAN. No internet connection made during boot. No account information entered. Superuser pre-activated.

You should update to the latest CWM Recovery port, i.e. VENTANA RECOVERY from http://everyrandom.com/files/files.php

BACK-UP YOUR OWN THINKPAD FIRST USING CWR

- and report your experiences afterwards!

UNZIP the folder to /clockworkmod/backup/ on EXTERNAL SD-CARD

Use CWR after a full power down, choose backup/restore, choose restore, choose the backup folder

There are TWO options currently:

NO BLOATWARE 0089 / OTA2.5 -- 350MB zip

No-Bloat 0089/OTA2.5 US Rooted Nandroid - NEW LINK

NO BLOATWARE 0075 / OTA1 -- 330MB zip

NO Bloat 0075 US Rooted Nandroid ZIPPED
[Thinkpad Tablet General] konker:
Thanks for doing this!

I kept having trouble with downloading the files.

After entering the security code & clicking on Dowload File, it will automatically refresh the page & bring me back to the beginning again.

I tried both on Firefox & IE.

Which CWR are you referring to?

I can't locate the new port in the original CWM thread...I'm using the one posted in the first post of that thread.

Konker
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pwstein:
I don't know why the site isn't working for downloading, seems like lots of folks have been successful. I ran in to the same issue trying to test the download. Any ideas from the forum?

CWR/CWM Recovery -- It is called ventana_recovery and can be found in US or ROW types in 16, 32 and 64 iterations at everyrandom.

Download the archive and open it with winrar. You will find system.ext4.tar. Open it inside winrar and it will extract it. In the app directory you will find all system apps.

MD5 checksum mismatch?

pwstein,

Finally got down to restoring your Nandroid backup to my TPT.

However, I kept getting the MD5 checksum mismatch error.

Am downloading again to try and see if it makes any difference.

Do I need to preserve the folder name 0089_US_no-bloat_rooted?

Konker
[Thinkpad Tablet General] konker:
Reloaded the 0089 package but ended up with the same MD5 mismatch error.

Tried this method to recreate the nandroid.md5 but my TPT does not have md5sum even though busybox is already installed.

Anyone has a clue what I can do to overcome this?:confused:

Konker
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pwstein:
Off the top of my head, and I apologize if you have made this apparent elsewhere, are you using a US (or UK) firmware Tablet?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] konker:
I'm using a US TPT.

Do you think the CWR versions we're using matters?

I've since upgraded the CWR to the version you recommended & so I'm wondering if this is a factor.

Konker
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pwstein:
I don't know about the different CWM Recovery. I wish I did.

After you have extracted the zip, the folder can be renamed but it should be placed within the backup folder, like:

EXTERNAL SD-CARD ROOT/clockworkmod/backup/0089_US_no-bloat_rooted/**files**
[Thinkpad Tablet General] konker:
That's where I placed it with & without renaming.

From other threads, it seems having _ & - might affect the recovery as well but I've not seen any success even without those symbols or other characters in the folder name.

Running MD5 checksum utilities, I was able to ascertain that the MD5 checksum of each individual file included is correct.

Still a mystery...:confused:

Konker
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pwstein:
Maybe try a different SD-card?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] konker:
No difference with a new SD card

I tried a new card but it didn't work either.

Out of curiosity, after backing up my system in CWR, I tried to restore \cache to test it out & it worked.

No MD5 mismatch error.

What could be wrong?

Would you be able to try out your Nandroid backup on your TPT & see if you get a MD5 mismatch error when trying to restore the \cache?

Final Update:

I just tried CWR for 0089_US \system only & it worked!

Seems like the issue could be with \cache image.

Tried 0075_US \cache earlier but no issues.

As it turns out, I deleted the MD5 entry in the nandroid.md5 file for cache.ext4.tar & I was able to use the whole Nandroid to restore my TPT.

However, that did not solve my problems with encryption.

It has been hinted that the root exploit that we use could have broken the cryptographic system of the OS thus crippling the encryption of the OS.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] ChiefOHara:
Hey!

I also ran into the update problem because of the gps.conf file. Could anyone provide a working file? I tried a couple of files from other threads but none has worked so far :(

Also, what are the correct permissions? I read that they also might be part of the problem.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ChiefOHara:
Ok, to answer my own question: the gps.conf files I found in the other files were correct. Apparently the mistake was that the newline sign was somehow messed up. So the files looked normal in the editor, but it didn't work. To correct this I replaced the messed up sign (probably \r\n from a windows editor, but gedit didn't display it correctly) with a plain \n. And after replacing the keymap file and the busybox bin it updated fine. So I'm on ICS finally!

s-off, rooted, ClockworkMod recovery 5.0.2.7, on 1.28.531.9

Now I have been getting OTA notification (the old one I guess, 5.44mb) almost everyday and I have been ignoring it so far. But now I think I want to install it in order to a) stop the annoying notification b) install further OTA from t-mo.

But then I realized that I wont be able to install OTA with the CWM recovery, and I will have to "flash stock recovery" to be able to do that? Am I correct?

If that's true, how do I go about doing it? I have been searching for about an hour and I can't find anything (either I am getting too old or I am not using the right keywords).

Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question - I don't want to upset mighty egos of XDA community.

you can find the stock recovery here:

but i am not sure simply restoring stock recovery would be enough to get back on the OTA trail, lol. you may have to do a full restore to factory, and while you are at it, you might as well just restore straight to the stock ROM version you wish to be on.

have a look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17424340&postcount=24

it might look like a lot, but the instructions are there to restore a factory stock image. just be aware that it would be a full reset, wiping your user apps and data, etc.

If you just got it today I would suggest you start reading guides and FAQs. When you think you have it, read it all again. Its similar to the Captivate, but different enough you can do some damage if you aren't paying attention.

That said, the leak just dropped is not ready immediately for use. There is no "best" ROM, try many of them. There are several ICS ROMs, both AOSP and TW based. They are in the dev sections.

I have a galaxy S2 (Europe GSM unlocked) that is quite screwed up.

I contacted Samsung and they, as always, say bring it into your local repair place for service so I tried to hook it up to my computer so I could wipe it before handing it off to strangers since they want me to ship it overseas. I tried to get into download mode using the normal button combination, but when I plug it into my computer Windows says its an unrecognized device now both with and without KIES. ODIN doesn't see it either anymore.

Worse yet, it wont reboot back into android with it just now reporting itself as "Android" with a product ID of 0x0001 and the vendor ID as 0x18d1 (Google). Any ideas on how to get this fixed without shipping it overseas since I am now in the US and Samsung USA wants nothing to do with this phone?
