same?

sorry, i wanna ask and confirm..

is that create image zip from a NAND backup, mean, the zip that created can be used to restore back up (NAND) from "install zip from sd card" section?

and the contains still same as original (.tar) like?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
That's what the feature is designed for.

well, i have try to backup it to image.zip

it takes a long time to bckup it into zip.

after check, it stores on sdcard internal..

Hello!

First thank you for the great work...

I tried to use CWM Recovery from Version 6.0.1.2 to 6.0.1.2 and CWM Touch Recovery Version 6.0.1.2, 6.0.1.9 and 6.0.2.7 and PhilZ V3.81.

With all this version I get the message that my sd-card is not mounted... and Backup is not finished. Try to backup to Internal SD Card. When I try to restore my ROM image made with CWM Recovery V5.5.0.4 the Toch Recovery shows an error message that the Backup header is not found...

Going back to CWM Recovery V5.5.0.4 and everything works fine...

I use Complex-D Rom 2.1.3 with built in HydR Kernel... and in the ROM CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.12 is included.

What's going wrong? Do I make mistakes?

Where are the backups stored with a JB 4.2.1 ROM? (CM10.1)

Is there some other place than /0/clockworkmod/... because my /system/ is almost 6 gigabytes and I think there must be an old backup sitting somewhere. I'd like to remove it and free some space.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mika83AC:
Hello everyone,

i'm running the 6.0.1.2 version of CWM Touch recovery and CM10.1 with stock kernel.

Now when trying to install the latest recovery (6.0.2.7) via ODIN (3.04, never version has the same problem) i'm stuck while odin is performing it's work:

It's stuck at "<ID:0/003> recovery.img" and i've waited for 15 minutes the first time, then tried again, but i always get stuck at the same operation step.

What could be the problem? Seems that there is any write protection which prevents ODIN from updating my recovery?!

Kind Regards and a good and happy new year to all of you

Mika
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] PresidentMcCain:
I had the same problem. I was on 6.0.1.9 (updated via Odin previously). Could not install 6.0.2.7 via Odin (like you), just freezes there.

I had to flash 6.0.2.7 via CWM Zip (obtained via this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2052091)

Now I'm on CWM 6.0.2.7 and CM10.1 :) Directly upgraded from CM10 nightly.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mika83AC:
Thanks, this solved my recovery update issue :good:

But still wondering why i've got this problem with ODIN... I'd like to solve this too because it's better to have a working ODIN for the case i mess up my phone or anything else where the recovery isn't working correctly any more. So ideas are very welcome!

Mika

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Could be a solution for this problem. But i like to have a working ODIN for the case i can't access my rom/recovery any more.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] pat357:
Just to check :

- do you have USB debugging on or off ?

- I suppose your drivers or OK ? Any exclamation-marks () present in your Win device manager ?

- Try again with ODIN v3.07, just to test and report here.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mika83AC:
Okay, here are the news:

I got ODIN 3.07 and tried again, it worked. BUT: before i've flashed the 6.0.2.7 recovery via recovery (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2052091)

So i'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the ODIN version because some days ago i tried the same recovery update @ home with the ODIN version i used now (3.07). And there it didn't worked as with 3.04 yesterday.

I remeber that CWM recovery once asked me if it "should protect itself agains flashing" (something like this, don't know the exact words any more). Could this be related tha a ODIN attemp is denied but an attemp from the CWM revcovery itself is allowed?

According to zoot1, when you use the recovery it is still accessing the emmc, therefore it is indeed needed to be patched. Currently I am downloading my ROM's upgrade package. And I am in no hurry until it is patched.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 0asis:
There was no updates for the moment guys ..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] donalgodon:
Is the danger in the recovery kernel the same as it was in the SII? As I recall, it surfaced during a wipe. Does that mean that it is unsafe to boot into CWM recovery at all, or that it is unsafe to wipe and does that include cache and dalvik or only data?

I can't believe that Samsung did this again after the SII fiasco. They never learn. My next device will likely be the Sony Experia Z
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] thekoRngear:
Hi, when you boot into any custom recovery it has separate kernel which (as of now) does not have the emmc fix (SDS). So the emmc is accessing the recovery without the patch which is totally unsafe. Philz will hopefully upload his one. And others will hopefully patched their ones too.

I quote zoot1:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] wikusq:
so new recovery isnt safe yet. yes?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] donalgodon:
Is EVERY action performed in CWM dangerous? That's what I don't understand.

Can we just build a CWM using the kernel image from ELLA?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] thekoRngear:
What new recovery? The existing cwm 6.0.2.7? I am afraid it is not. But hopefully will be updated to the patch soon. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] wikusq:
damn, my bad. sorry for noob question.

so.... we still waiting for safe recoveries with fixed recovery kernel, yep? ^^
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] thekoRngear:
So far two kernels are patched: perseus and boeffla.

No recoveries are patched yet.

cannot restore nandroid or TiB 4.2

Guys Ive just had a bit of a hell time last few days

Had my phone 3-4 months rooted with sgs3 toolkit - all good!

Finally plucked up the courage to flash a custom rom or 3

nandroided with cwm 6.0.1? and Titanium Pro backup of apps

flashed these roms over a period of 3-4 days doing factory reset and wipes of cache and dalik

android revolution

3Minit

Hellybean

resurrection remix

I really liked the customisation on the hellybean and decided to go back

And heres where things went pearshaped

cwm refused to restore - it told me "no files found" or failed restoring /system or /data

TiB was the same - it detected the backup folder in storage/emulated/0/0/0 but of course it could

not access that folder

after doing some searching I realised that 4.2 has a different way of storing your data!!!

I found all my cwm back ups in the "0" folders and these folders are all symlinks to /data/media/

It;s been stated that the latest version of cwm and TWRP overcomes this problem of the 0 folders but I tried this and it doesnt work - I flashed back to android revolution and have spent most of the night copying all my backups/blobs to my pc -which is a very long and laborious process - once thats done I'm gonna give twrp a go

I've ended up with a total of 3 clockwork mod backup/blobs folders which are all different but together they hold all my backups - with the new 'blob' incremental system I have a total of 14gb of backups but in reality most of my backups are around 800mb and there are only 5 of them!!! so all the 0/0/0/0 folders I have, are duplicating them all leaving me no internal memory..

My question is: how should i safely merge them all together and keep everything in tact?

can anyone offer a suggestions? Am I going about things the right way - perhaps theres some other way I havent thought of??

Anyway, back to copying and any advice much appreciated

dibb
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] seanpr123:
Is this one of those things that just gets blown out of proportion?

I've been flashing this phone like crazy on different versions of CWM (as I'm sure many of you have), and never experienced an issue.

Are we saying it's only a matter of time before brick, or is the likelihood of seeing an issue now statistically low?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mloc33:
I see it as a lottery, the chances of getting it are very low.

But also, I have`nt read anywhere as to what may cause it, the fact that it`s random, that`s the worrying thing.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fenstre:
First, back up all the files to your computer, 0/0/0/0 included.

I think the clockworkmod blobs and backups folders can be merged--just put all the backup directories together in one place, and put all the clockworkmod/blobs/*, 0/clockworkmod/blobs/*, 0/0/clockworkmod/blobs/* stuff together. For clockworkmod to see it, it should be in /data/media/clockworkmod, not in the 0/0/0 folders. You'll probably need to do this copying with an intelligent program that can merge directories. I'm not sure which one. Windows copy, for example, would probably fail telling you "a folder with the same name exists in the destination". That shouldn't be a problem, because you want the contents copied recursively.

As for other programs, you probably can't merge them. Just pick the version of the sdcard data you want. In the end, move it to /data/media (if you want to use Android<4.2) or /data/media/0 (if you want to use Android 4.2).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dibb_nz:
thanks for replying, i've got all the files copied to my pc but i never copied the 0 folders...???

rojah that! should my Tibackups be copied there too? I'm assuming yes

Intelligent??? we are talking windows here, lol...but I get your point - as long as they are each in there o folders it should be all good.....

Yeh now I'm back on android revolution its a bit easier as it uses /sdcard - the cm10,1 roms use storage/sdcard/emulated/0/0/0/0 - its all very confusing keeping up with the differing naming conventions and the fact that with each factory data reset another 0 folder is added....

the biggest question is why cwm cannot see anything at all in the 0 folders - but I am gonna give twrp a go as supposedly does

I'm not overly worried about apps and things...but I'd love to solve the problem there doesnt seem to be alot about it in the s3 forums...plenty in the nexus forums tho....:)

thanks again for your sound advice

rgds dibb
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fenstre:
TB is like any other standard Android program: the files go in /sdcard by default. If you're using Android 4.2, that really means /data/media/0. For prior versions, that's /data/media.

The reason CWM is different is because it's its own operating system. When CWM is running, Android 4.2 is not. And CWM interprets /sdcard to point to a different place than Android 4.2. (Look at it like a PC: you could have Windows XP and Windows ME installed on the same computer, and if you have multiple hard drives, Windows XP may see the first drive as C:, and Windows ME may see the other drive as C:.)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dibb_nz:
OK so i guess I'm pver analyzing things here but where does cwm interpret /sdcard is pointing to??? if cwm makes a backup shouldnt it know where to restore them from????

...sorry I obviously need some learinin!!! hangs head in shame:( I;ll put them in data/media and try a restore .....thanks again

dibb
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fenstre:
CWM interprets /sdcard to mean /data/media. So that's why your backups aren't found if they're in /data/media/0 (Android 4.2 automatically moves them there because it's not that smart).

any news on the next version with the EMMC fixes?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] pickandwhammy:
+1
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fenstre:
Let me ask about the eMMC fix more constructively:

Somebody said there's a helper tool that will build a flashable recovery based on the current codebase. So where does the recovery get its kernel? If a recovery is built from the codebase on a certain date, will the recovery have the same kernel as that codebase?

To rephrase: The current Cyanogenmod codebase is fixed. CWM is a tool built from the Cyanogenmod codebase. If we build a new unofficial CWM, will it contain a fixed kernel, or does it have a separate kernel?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] thegh0sts:
sounds fair, though i still don't know what the new commits are meant to do.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kobrax:
Is this recovery still broken?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] pickandwhammy:
I won't go so far as to call it 'broken'. It's not yet patched, yes.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kobrax:
Lol.. I didn't mean broken... I wrote that in a rush. Thanks for the answer

So what's the deal then? Should we not use this recovery? If so, what recovery is safe to use? And if a ROM says to use cwm recovery, can we not use another instead?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] strikoo:
This is the only one built on XELLA kernel

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002953

No one knows for sure that in update 7 MMC fix is really SDS fix and even less that there is MMC fix in the XELL kernels. All reports on SDS was that phones died charging over night, so I don't see the point in having a "safe" recovery as no one reported SDS when it was in custom recovery or any other. You all are over paranoid. Just install Yank555, Persus or stock XELL kernel and enjoy your phones as they(phones) will all die after the warranty due the bad build quality etc.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] pickandwhammy:
PhilZ Touch recovery is based on CWM, and has the kernel patch for the eMMC issue. So it's best to use that for now. Any ROM asking you to use CWM does so for it's ability to flash unsigned zips. That's basically how you will 'install' the ROM.
