Hmmmmm.... good point about drivers.

Anyone gone from leak to OTA notice anything different?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] paperskye:
I actually have two questions here.

I'm trying to do an advance restore of the data from a previous backup using CWM. recovery 5.0.2.7 and having some problems.

In recovery, when I click on 'advanced restore' I am told there are no files. I then choose the regular 'restore' option and it shows the files to choose from.

I can then go back one screen and select 'advanced restore' again and it will now display the list of backups. When I select a backup and try to restore the data, I get a MD5 mismatch error. This happens when I try to do an advanced restore with any of my backups, not just a certain one. Also, I can do a normal restore without any problems.

I tried this:

http://www.geekdevs.com/2011/10/solved-md5-mismatch-error-on-clockworkmod/

Then this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1606047

I've read several threads but most of them seem to be solved after trying one of the above methods. I also haven't seen any that describe the backup list not displaying at first.

Secondly, I found this problem because I'm running Pyr'o'Ice ICS Desensed 1.1.3 and stupidly tried to tether with wifi and my phone got stuck in a reboot loop. I want to restore the userdata via Nandroid recovery, but will that also restore the tether setting that causes that bug?

My main issue is with the Nandroid recovery, but I thought someone reading this might also know the answer to that question also.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit: (didn't read whole post)

1. Open your sdcard on pc (usb mounted)

2. ensure there is a folder in clockworkmod/backup (ex: 2011-08-10.02.40.28)

if your sure the nandroid isn't corrupted and you want to restore it anyway, you can modify the md5sum.

1. go get a md5sum checker

2.With your phone mounted on your pc...go into the clockworkmod/backups/(yourbackups folder)

3. md5 sum all the images in there (write it down somewhere)

4. open the nandroid.md5 with a text editor

5. replace the md5s with the ones you wrote down

6. Try restoring it again
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
This doesn't appear to do anything

I'm having exactly the same problem as the OP, and I'm not sure how this will help as all md5sum does is give the md5s listed in the nandroid.md5 file. Using this method, all one is doing is putting the exact same md5s over what is there in the nandroid.md5 file.

I really need a method to make the Nandroid Advance Restore work in order to get back my data after updating to 1.63.531.2.

Any other suggestions? --

y do u guys need to advanced restore...just restore
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
Heh, well, in my case, I'm trying not to have to restore my phone from scratch after updating to 1.63.531.2, as well as keep the update. A straight restore will just take me back to DS Mod 1.55.531.3. Advanced Restore would allow restoration of data without overwriting the boot.img, system, etc.

So, no further methods to try to address this error?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
then take the system.img from the 1.63 update and put in replace of the nandroids one....then redo the md5 checksum for the system.img like i had showed before
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] paperskye:
The md5s are already the same.

That also doesn't address the issue why I am told that there are no files found when I try the advanced restore option without first going to the regular restore and backing out.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
Investigation ongoing, but an idea to help

This may have something to do with the way in which CWM 5.0.2.7 saves the majority of data to tar files instead of img files. This behavior of CWM is part of the discussion in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1624516

Yogi2010 made the suggestion of using the Modaco 4.0.0.9 recovery for backups that can be successfully used with Advanced Restore. I believe Modaco's AR works because it saves all data to img files.

I'm going to attempt an update to 1.63 using Modaco for backup and then AR of data afterward. If successful, we know that Modaco is the key for utilizing AR due to the file type it uses for data storage.

Why CWM 5.0.2.7 behaves as it does regarding AR remains an open question.

I'll report back to this thread with results after my update attempt --

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
Modaco functional with Advanced Restore

I used the Modaco 4.0.0.9 recovery for my backup prior to updating to 1.63, then followed with an Advanced Restore of data afterward, which successfully restored my phone environment. So AR is functional with Modaco, but not CWM 5.0.2.7. I don't know for certain if the fact that CWM uses tar files has something to do with its inability to execute AR, but it certainly seems like this is a contributing factor.

I'm going to Google this and see if I can come up with any further info on CWM that might explain its behavior.

So far, it's Modaco FTW. Itz on my fone, reestoring my data :D --

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] paperskye:
Did you use this to get Modaco? I noticed it says you must have s-off but in your thread you said you have s-on.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179125

My problem is that with the data I want to restore, my phone gets stuck in a boot loop. I am thinking that I might be able to install Modaco, restore the data where I can't start up my phone and then do a Modaco backup while still in recovery. Then restore a functioning backup (so my phone boots up) and finally do an advanced restore where I only restore the data I need from the bootloop backup.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
That's the original thread Paul (Modaco's creator) posted. I downloaded my copy via Blue's invaluable Developers Reference: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17384145&postcount=7. Scroll down to the Recovery section, and under Clockworkmod 4.0.0.9 Recovery there's a download link; but it's the same file.

As to being s-off, I think that's how things used to be. Obviously, all you need now is the bootloader to be unlocked so you can fastboot flash the recovery img file. Otherwise, I couldn't have been doing all the monkeying I've been doing recently. ;)

My experience is limited, but from your description, I'm not sure if the Advanced Restore option will be the smoking gun for your problem. The way I understand it, ClockworkMod recovery--of which Modaco is an unofficial flavor--takes the equivalent of a disk image of your phone while the OS is inactive (like many disk imaging programs for the PC). If you've got some ratty data causing the boot looping, that data is going to be stored along with everything else in the snapshot during backup. It will also be restored using regular restore or Advanced. So, I'm not certain how using a different recovery module will accomplish your goal of stopping the boot loop. Also, remember that any backups made with CWM 5.0.2.7 will be incompatible with Modaco recovery since it uses only img files.

This definitely needs to go to someone more experienced in troubleshooting Android, I think. Maybe you could edit the title of this thread to reflect the boot looping problem. This will hopefully get someone like Blue involved to help out. Sorry not to have a definitive answer for this. I suppose you could flash Modaco (same as you flashed CWM 5.0.2.7) and see if it does what you're hoping it will do. Best advice I can give.

Apologies for not having a concrete solution, and best of luck --

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] IBtokin:
Same problem, with ANY restore

I'm running cwm 5.0.2.7 and can't restore any previous backups. When I run restore it restores a few things, but then it just stops and cwm recovery seems to abruptly reset. After that I get stuck on the splash screen after rebooting.I verified the md5s in the backup folder, also. All match.

I DID change the backup filename so I could find it easily in my backup folder, but it was doing the same thing even before I changed it.

Anyone else have the same issue?:confused:

Also, is there a way to restore the images through adb/fastboot, even though they were created by cwm recovery?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
A small suggestion

Check your backup filenames and make sure they don't have any spaces. If that isn't an issue, you might try reflashing CWM and see if that resolves its difficulties. CWM shouldn't be behaving as you describe if it has been installed properly. Only other thing I can think of is looking into any item installed on your phone that could possible not play nice with CWM. I don't know of any myself, but it's a possibility.

Not that I know of; hopefully someone with more CWM knowledge will chime in on this thread.

Hmm...I'll have to check to see if the old fastboot method can still be used.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nope. Nandroid used to save the files in .img format instead of the current one. This means no fastboot restore.

The I9100 international version of the i777, is a physically different phone, it's got a different button layout. While I would postulate that if you could get it to install, it would not work correctly.

I remember before the AT&T leak, and the international ICS release first came out, there were people using international software on this phone, however they had to use an app to emulate the home button on the screen, it was..... cumbersome.

I've been running mason sbc for about a week now. I had to use a combination of vipermod and smurfed out scripts to get the kernel set where I wanted it.

Then I used vipermod to uv -25MHz so it wasn't such a battery-hog. Underclocked, undervolted, and set to CFS seems to be my winning combo!!! I get no less than 3 hours of constant screen time (streaming video, browsing the web, etc.) and enough standby to last me all day so I don't have to carry my charger with me anymore.
