Just to let you guys know, this version of CWM requires a ICS+ kernel. Ace does not have an official ICS update. So the kernel needs to be hacked to get things working. So the recovery may work on some roms but not on other. Please test it and report bugs. We are really trying to get it working.

So please be patient and help us instead of arguing and flaming.

I am sure that the recovery should work on any ROM, it doesn't mater which ROM do you have, because recovery uses a separate kernel, and don't use any things from ROM, you can format you system, boot, data and recovery will still work.

Guys, Good Job but

I made a backup with the CWM5 and it was 786 mb in total

I flashed the CWM6 and I made another backup and it was 16 mb, is this normal?

Plus, when it's making a backup the screen turns black and I can't see what partition is being processed. is it normal or a bug?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] codeknight11:
Bug. The recovery crashes while making backup.

but, does it mean it's not 100% stable yet? or I need to reflash it ?

Partition SD card

So I installed it no problem, everything's fine so far. But I noticed that there's no more "Partition SD card", which was a really handy feature. Is that permanently gone? Also, if it's coming back, would let you format ext4, or only ext3 like CWMR 5.0.2.6?

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] rishalshah:
i was earlier facing a problem of not getting into CWM recoveries for some reason, but then i tried to reflash through odin, but there was no further progress. (Stock rom and download mode is working)

Then i flashed the CWM 6 using the stock recovery and it worked.

Inside the recovery, i m unable to factory reset my phone. An error always occurs saying:

Error mounting /data!

Skipping format...

Error mounting /cache!

Skipping format...

formatting /sdcard/ .android_secure..

Data wipe complete

I m also unable to backup since the system is also not mounting.

I also tried to mount cache data and system using mounts and storage but it shows "cannot mount cache data and system" respectively.

So this probably means that there is some problem with the cache, data and system mounting or its files have been corrupted.

I first tried in the Q&A section, but not much solution. U can check the link below:

I don't know if it matters, but I looked into in another recovery-update, and there is only a "recovery.img" and the META-INF folder! But in your package there are multiple files, maybe that's the reason why it's only a temporal recovery! But I'm no dev and that's just what I think...

shaaan did you check if the recovery loads correctly the Samsung modules. You should look into lsmod, should look like this:

Module Size Used by Tainted: PF
sec_param 8954 0
fsr_stl 263980 3
fsr 372324 2 sec_param,fsr_stl

This modules are allow as to access the internal memory, as far I understand the temp recovery uses the modules from the old recovery.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] PabloPL:
shaaan

I think that you forgot to set

BOARD_BML_BOOT and BOARD_BML_RECOVERY

in your BoardConfig.mk file.

By default it's set to (in bmlutils/bmlutils.c file, from recovery sources)

BOARD_BML_BOOT "/dev/block/bml7"
BOARD_BML_RECOVERY "/dev/block/bml8"

but on galaxy ace, bml7 is the bootloader, so it should be set like this (example here or here )

BOARD_BML_BOOT := "/dev/block/bml8"
BOARD_BML_RECOVERY := "/dev/block/bml9"

Probably that's how you overwrote bootloader.

He cannot unbrick his Ace with Odin.

He has bricked his Ace in a similar way in which Rom Manager bricks the Ace! He has lost his bootloader and so his phone cannot start up or set a usb connection with odin. :silly:

The only DIY thing he can do it open up his phone, take his motherboard out and then use Riff's Jtag box to rewrite the bootloader and then assemble his phone back!.

Or he has to go to service center who will charge him half the price of a new Ace without warranty! :cool:

And a Riff's Jtag kit costs more than an Ace I believe. :eek:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Original Android Development] dragonnn:
shaaan brick looks exactly when you use ROM Manger on Ace, only way to fix it is JTAG, but it is to expensive.

Cant we flash the boatloader in the phone with som tool like on htc o xperia devces

If you lost youre boatloader you could rewrite it by reflashing it

If the phone has atleast a connectivity uwb to pc

Then you could try to flash the boatloader through some programs

But for it you need to have a copy if bml7.img
