People with problems in 6.0.1.0

Are you using AOSP or SAMMY BASED?

I'm using this version with cm9 and cm10 since the beginning and I had zero problem.

Only had problem when i was in Sammy.

In AOSP change log days ago I saw something merged by Koush releated with this new method of backup.

Maybe that is the difference.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] GabrielSousa:
Didn't work. Cwm can't mount scdard or extcard
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fenstre:
That's not it--I'm running the latest CM9 nightly (the 23rd), but I still can't use 6.0.1.0 to backup (no matter what method I use to flash recovery).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Cristiano Matos:
When i first install this version a had a problem, in cm9, that my backups stops in the middle of the process with a message: cannot mount sdcard.

I weirdlly solve by flash cf-root and flashing right after v6.0.1.0.

I don't have any problem since then.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fenstre:
That sounds like my problem. What method did you use to flash 6.0.1.0?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Cristiano Matos:
Mobile Odin
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] morg01:
No, but I have 162 apps and counting . . . that couldbe the issue :laugh:

This version needs thorough testing, it's not stable. Beware.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mariotme:
I dont know on what basis your concluding your thoughts.

Zero issues here and running great
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] inffy:
LOL. Can we get some facts for this bull****. Did you even test this....what should we be afraid???

Idiots....
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Cristiano Matos:
One thing for sure, with cm9 or 10 this recovery is amazing. Fast backups, restore and my precious 8gb sdcard thanks for some more free space:D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Gramrock:
I updated cwm to 6.0.1.0

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Cristiano Matos:
Did you try to make a official Sammy OTA update with custom recovery?

I think that's won't be possible.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
Does this come with menu button select, and progress bars for backups etc?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Cristiano Matos:
No menu select button, you need to touch in each text/option.

Progress bars are present.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
Nvm, you CAN navigate with volume up and down, and select with the menu button :D

/Sdcard wont mount however so I am unable to do a Nandroid backup >.<. Just marveleous
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Cristiano Matos:
I already had that same problem.

Could you tell me which from are you using?

In my case I fix this problem by flashing cfroot and flashing this recovery right after.

I don't know why it works and I'm not sure if the problem was solved by this... But works.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MeX_DK:
Im running stock samsung. And I was actually running CF-Root before flashing Siyah Kernel and this recovery...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Cristiano Matos:
Thats weird. I'm running cm9.

Some days ago I saw in cm9 changelogs a few new merged codes related with this new recovery method , I guess.

I really don't try in Sammy roms.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] wind0zer:
Does recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.3-i9300.tar do backups the old way or the new 'blob' way? Okay figured 6+ has blob recovery.

Just tried the ver. 6 and it took me ages to make a backup and I want to go back.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sohail77:
Do i have to root my phone to flash this recovery and also do i have to remove bloatware because my phone is 100% stock
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mskip:
No you dont have to root first, you just have to install the Samsung Drivers first and then flash the tar file via Odin in Download Mode.

If that sounds like gibberish the just use the S3 ToolKit [International Edition] to flash it.

Universal proper rooting for most ICS phones

Hi,

I hope this wasn't discussed yet... I've been following Phil3759's thread in which he presents a method for rooting ICS devices without increasing the flash count, and without really flashing CWM (aka method 1). etique57 tried this method on the S3 but encountered with an error that the CWM zip file is not properly signed (thread post). Phil3759 suggested (thread post) that we post a follow up on the S3 forum. Maybe someone could help us with this here?

Thanks,

Z.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Gramrock:
Well I start the update in the OS, it downloads and restarts then while installing cwm cancels it. :>

but heres the strange thing, the error was the same and the package installation was abortet i restarted after and now my phone doesnt find any updates anymore... lol...

i disabled the signature check via cwm could ti eb that it finished the installation suddenly after abortion ? in the background or something like that ?

why dont i find any update now ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Cristiano Matos:
I'm assume that you are rooted and with custom recovery in question, rigth?

I guess the only custom recovery that supports OTA is Chainfire v.1.5 (He wrote this in your thread).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
Lovely - CWM touch 6.0.1.0 working with LG8 :)!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Why not? Recovery is totally split from kernel/os.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] TotallydubbedHD:
I hadn't checked for a while here. I'm just glad everything works, like ext sd support.

So I'm happy that works and that it works on the fw.

I never started that it wouldn't work on another fw, just confirming that it does.

In other words I'm happy that it progressed, since the first time i used it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mopral:
Flashed back to Chainfire CWM

Do not know why but some zip file does not work with 6.0.1.0: it tells me in recovery that the zip has been flashed successfull but nothing have change when I restart my phone...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] osoelpeligroso:
Noticed a strange thing with my nandroid backups: have two older ones with approximately 1.4GB(done with the other CWM) and the two recent ones only have 16.7MB(done with touch recovery)... Is that normal, was something changed to make the backups smaller? Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Cristiano Matos:
Did you check the blobs folder?

The "real" backups goes to there. All apps, system datas and stuff.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] osoelpeligroso:
So it is normal that the backup has only 16,7MB?? There are no tar files inside. The backups from chainfires recovery include the tar files. So it is designed to so? And that are differences how the two recovery store the updates?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Cristiano Matos:
Now we have two folders:

One contains the files that link to the respective datas in blobs folder, boot.img and recovery.img. And other (blobs) contains all datas.

Read the first post. Mskip explains a lot better than me.

How come i cant back up to external sd card. it says it cant mount backup path. i got a 64gb sdxc card class 10. i thought this version supported external sd card

im using a uk unbranded s3 on stock samsung firmware

do i have to format and partition the sd card using cwm first and then try to backup to sd card. the sd card as of now is ex-fat
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
If it is exFAT formatted it won't work. Format it to FAT32, then test again.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] joanquro:
Is this recovery backwards compatible with older backups created with CWM 5.5 (non touch)?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mskip:
Im not exactly sure I will test this later with a backup I made with the S3 ToolKit.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Cristiano Matos:
If i'm not crazy i think i restored an old Wanam backup made with cf using this recovery.

I think it works for restore others backups not made by him.

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

Works for me...

I don't know but it seems that with stock or based roms problems are most frequent.

I'm with cm9 /cm10 and don't have any problems at all.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 10076757:
naah i dont want FAT32 i want ex fat so i can put over 4gb files on, so at the moment CF-root will do me fine, such a shame that it cant read exfat, very big shame
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Cyanogenmod and cwm shouldn't be able to handle exfat as it's microsoft licensed. So this recovery and official cm won't be capable of handling exfat ever.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] baste07:
is touch recovery stable enough to replace cwm 1.5?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fenstre:
It's stable enough for you to safely install it and test it out. If you can make a backup and restore it without errors, keep it and use it. If there are errors you can re-flash the recovery you were using before. I recommend giving it a try. It doesn't work for me, however.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sodeknetters:
If I understood correctly, clockworkmod recovery can be used directly (by booting into recovery mode) and can also serve as the 'back end' of ROM Manager.

Some versions of cwm recovery are known to be incompatible with ROM Manager, so in those cases you can only use it directly or through another app like 'CWM' as supplied with that recovery.

Now, the question. I have manually installed touch recovery (as found in OP) and rom manager was included in the ROM I installed. When I open rom manager, as soon as I want to do anything, e.g. make a backup, the program says I first have to install cwm recovery. It seems it doesn't recognize the existing installation of touch recovery...

Any suggestions welcome.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] StuBouyer:
Flash 6.0.1.0 from rom manager, then install touch. Otherwise rom manager doesn't have a record that a cwm recovery was installed.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] baste07:
What issues are you facing?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fenstre:
Well, I posted thus a few pages back but got no answer. In short, I get an error that doesn't make sense to me (something about not finding a backup handler). I'm making backups to internal storage and have plenty of space. Have tried reflashing several times. Log: http://pastebin.com/33yeNusu

Is it possible to flash this without Odin?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fenstre:
Yeah, you can use software called Heimdall. It's command-line software and the syntax is "heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img" (recovery.img is inside the tar file). Be sure to use version 1.3.1 and not 1.3.2, because a bug will soft-brick your phone if you use the latest version. Note: this must be done while you're in download mode, like with Odin.

If your phone is already rooted, you can flash with mobile odin, which is an Android app (author is giving it away for free on these forums, or you can buy a more complete version in android market).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] TBayTom:
I correctly flashed this version with ODIN, however, when I try to boot into recovery I run into an error. It resets the phone and says "recovery booting" at the top in blue on the samsung screen. It then goes to a black screen and won't let me do anything. I then have to reset the phone to start it up again. Anyone help with this issue?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kallexander:
Can I flash this if I already have regular CWM? Ontop of it? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] hanison:

Same issue here. CWM 6.0.1.0, try to install ota update and same assert fail error...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] treUse:
You can't use a custom recovery to flash OTA. Use the stock recovery for that.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fenstre:
I suspect you didn't correctly flash this recovery. Try it again with heimdall 1.3.1 if not with ODIN.

Do you mean the recovery from CF-Root? Yes, flashing this will overwrite that. It's safe, but the CWM app won't work anymore besides to reboot into recovery.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bala_gamer:
im getting stuck when using "fix permissions". is this a known issue?

external sd

I have an external 64gb SDXC card class 10, exFAT formatted on CM10, but can't install from it or bakcup to it in recovery.

Anything can be done:confused:

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Smiffyboots:
I think it has to be Fat32. I had to format my card in the phone on a stock rom (not the pc) to make it work.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] lubluchka:
Thank you for replying.

My mistake, the card is Fat32 formated (and NOT exfat as I mentioned).

So it is Fat32 and is still not working!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Try to format it in cwm. Mounts and storage -> format external sdcard.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] lubluchka:
I formated the SD Card in CMW.

Still I can't see an option in the CMW menu which allow me ton install or to backup/restore from the ext sd.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dantheman122:
I can't use backup to external sd, it's coming up error while making a backup image of /system! Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bangrahman:
I can't seem to be able to flash the latest version at all. The previous touch recovery worked fine. But this one just stops when it's saying it's flashing in Odin. I've tried Mobile Odin as well and that doesn't work for me. I reflashed CF root and immediately tried this recover and it still didn't work.

Anything I'm doing wrong?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] theonlyanil:
In my case, It was not blue but yellow. But still flashed.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mskip:
Well list exactly what you are doing and exactly what is on the Odin screen when it goes wrong. I assume Odin is detecting your phone if you can flash CF Root via Odin with success.

Just came over from DHD. Gonna give this a spin!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Cristiano Matos:
I had the error: image /system.

I'm using this recovery for a long time with no issues since today.

The only different thing that I do was that i deleted my LOST.DIR folder in external SD. The error comes just after that. Could it be problem?

After this unsuccessful backup to external the folder LOST.DIR was created and I can backup again without a problem.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] silvio82:
I think that external sd recognition will be fixed soon in the official recovery, and I prefer the touch version to not use physical button. I came from a desire hd and my volume button doesn't work very well at the end due to large number of flash....:-D

You said that you couldn't flash zips from the external SD-card. Can you do nandroid-backups to the external SD-card or isn't it recognized at all? Thanks and awesome work, man.

Edit: okay, seems the sd isn't recognized at all, didn't refresh ;-)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] silvio82:
Backup to the internal and then move the backup to the external to have a repository. I think is the best solution at now. :-)

You will loose nothing. Only change will be that your recovery will be overwritten with the touch one.

The version CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5 works fine.

That fact has been stated clearly in the first post. This version is simply for people who prefer the Touch Interface and dont need to flash via external sdcard.

For anyone who wishes to have the backups placed on the external SD card they can try this tool which works for SGS 3 as well. I haven't had time to test it yet but from the comments in the thread it's quite useful.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Logistically how do you keep backups separated size wise. Since the blobs are all connected. It seemed that I couldn't keep track of my backup size very well .... In the past with non touch I just deleted backups when I began running out of space. With touch I can't really tell and then when I went into recovery and deleted a backup I didn't gain any space ???
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fenstre:
You need to run the "backup/restore => free nandroid space" function to delete unneeded files.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Tried that and still gained no space .... I'm sure there is some trick to get used to but it seemed so much easier to see backups that were (about 1.5 gb vs 800mb) and know one was CM vs Sammy and then delete the individual backups as you wanted to based on space .... What's the purpose of going to the blob thing?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mskip:
You can delete the backup folder you dont want anymore or delete it through the backup/restore section of cwm recovery. When you next make a backup or select free nandroid space any files that arent needed anymore (i.e. files used by the backup your deleted but not by any other backups) will be deleted.

I agree that the new blobs method of backups makes it impossible to copy just 1 backup to your pc for safe keeping but I admire the process used. As most roms share ALOT of the same files only files that dont already exist from any other previous backups will be added to the blobs folder. This makes the overall space used for 3 or 4 backups alot smaller than the old method.

Im not even sure if the old backups will still restore on the new touch recovery but I will be updating my rom in the next few days so will try to restore an old backup and see if it works.

MArk.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Ok, that makes sense.... Main purpose is to save space. I really like the Touch functionality but wasn't understanding the process so well

The deleting of files in the blobs by the freeing space command after you've manually deleted a backup folder now makes sense as well. I'll try it again but have a couple of old original backups that it would be nice to be able to use.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] AAccount:
Does the restore function actually work? On my galaxy tab 10.1 the cwm backup restore operation corrupted my data partition and I had to format it with stock recovery. The only reason I bring up the tab is that, like the s3, it has no real sdcard partition. Never had a problem on my s1 though.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pyr0x64:
