multi flash

Can anyone advise me please?

I have created multi_flash directory on internal and external sd card but I keep getting errors.

Also it cannot find aromafm afterI put it where I was told.

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

Ok, sorted aroma fm, forgot to delete the 180 from file name, d'oh.

Just need someone to tell me the correct path for multi flash, I'm stuck!

Thanks in advance

I really must learn to read instructions correctly.

Please ignore my questions, all sorted.

Phil big thanks to you for a "sick" kernel. Keep it up sir.

hi [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] I wanted to post here to report strange behavior in your recovery mode packaged within neat rom 4.7 LSS i wanted to do a factory reset to try a mod i have had a crack at building. I booted into recovery and selected factory reset and off it went doing its thing once complete i pressed the back button and a screen offering to recover some thing from sdcard popped up as soon as i touched the screen again the phone rebooted to and old "android" boot ani. were it stayed looping over and over. I did leave it a good long time before i rebooted into recovery and restored a back up of LSS i had made shortly after installing LSS lite which it has done with no problems and everything works fine on my phone. You'll forgive me if i don't try again to gleen more details for your.

I MUST HOLD UP MY HANDS AND CONFESS TO REMOVING CWM MANAGER APP FROM SYSTEM/APP FOLDER COULD THIS BE THE PROBLEM??? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A MANAGER APP FOR FLASHING ZIPS ETC FROM WITHIN ROM, AM I WRONG?

thanks for the great work by the way everything is great (just that odd behavior when factory resetting)

all the best and kindest regards. :cool: :eek: :silly:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] gaosphappy:
Hay a copy and paste of a post from neat thread.... Just to keep you updated... if there is anything i can do to help get to the bottom of it please let me know..

yep. done it again this time selecting clean for new install,. cleans fine then select install bla bla bla installs fine "hit any key to continue and OMG it asks to install recovery set or something like that touch any were on screen and it reboots into bootloop. WIERD .com

Edit that did it all again while typing and although it asked for the same things in recovery it rebooted fine. (going to copy and paste this into philz thread) You know its prob nothing just one of those things that pop up and bite you in the but. now and then. (yep it does happen) ok so back to recovery to install my backup.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] williamtavares:
Please, someone can tell me a thing?

Is the following: After I installing the PhilZ-cwm6 in my LSN JB ROM, Many many app stop working, and i have to reboot the system, and sometimes i block the screen and when i come back to unlock the phone are dead and i have to turn it on again..

thanks in advance.

Hi PhilZ, I am playing with stock dedeoxed zip in which I added your kernel and other files needed for root but when I flash it and want to reboot, I get error about "Fix root (/system/xbin/)". How can I prevent that?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pilotn:
try to wipe cache and dalvik cache, if not enough try ti fix permission too
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Well, if you wipe phone, recovery settings are deleted and it will prompt you to restore them from a backup

There is a toggle for that option

Also, Koush recently added a root popup: if you wipe /system, you will be prompted to re-root it

Finally, obviously, once you use Wipe for a new ROM, /system is formatted and you are left with only one option: flash a whole new ROM as phone will not boot otherwise
[Galaxy S II Android Development] parag1dubey:
Hi Phil.. Somehow, my nandroid backups keep getting deleted.. The recovery always says 'no backup found'.. I dunno what's causing this. I made the nandroid on neatrom with your latest kernel... What could I be doing wrong? This has never happened before....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gaosphappy:
were there was dark there is now only light. i had no idea it deleted recovery as well. Its never happened this way for me in the past. Thanks for the feedback sir. will take a good long hard look at all the options available. thanks again. And i guess at least turn on double tap option :D (great work sir)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] williamtavares:
If I wipe cache and dalvik i'll lose all my apps and data? how do I fix Permissions? thank you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
No, wipe cache will only format you cache partition, and wipe Dalvik cache will only delete the the JVM cache.

Wiping data (= factory reset) will delete all your user apps + app data.

Fix permissions is a feature in CWM recovery > Advanced options (where wipe Dalvik cache is too).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] williamtavares:
Done! Thank you so much for the reply!!

I get stucked on "fixing permissions" about 3 minutes and i thought i have f*** my phone XD.

Hope do not get problems with apps and death lockscreen anymore :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jr866gooner:
Hello all..had a quick snout thru yhe dl links but didnt find what I was looking for. I require philz for the following
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Gingerbread (GB) > Android v2.3.3 > BVKH2 ... it's a very old firmware.

I doubt that Phil3759 will create a rooted kernel for it.

Check (old) CF-Root kernel thread ... there is a 2.3.3 version rooted stock kernel ... for CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE2-v4.0-CWM4.zip (in post #3).

Maybe this will work to root your phone.

But I recommend to flash a newer ROM (such as XWLSS).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jr866gooner:
Yes maybe go stock LSS, get philz and then flash a custom rom over the top. Does it matter which flavout of LSS? I could even do ics then get philz maybe? Would the nordic LSS be alrite?

pleaseeeeeeee.....

thanks....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] egps2:
Hi as far as I know the differences between LST and LSS are very small and LSS is very slightly newer despite being released just before LST. In the past JB stock kernels have been inter-compatible between stock roms so I'm sure LSS kernel on LST will not be a problem if you can't wait for PhilZ. I have never had a problem doing this personally with the last few stock Samsung JB buils and PhilZ's kernels.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, IMO it doesn't matter which version of XWLSS you flash.

But there is a UK (XEU) version out now.

Maybe you want to flash this. (Check on SamMobile.com !)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Either I work on improving code, or do useless daily minor kernel updates

I opted for option 1

Now, I monitor this thread and requests are put on my todo list. As soon as I am done with next update, I will release requested kernels

As usual, no ETA
[Galaxy S II Android Development] paranoidisc:

Thanx for ur kernel..

Is this the correct size.

Hi,

At the beginning, I had XWLPG 4.0.3. I changed to XWLSN 4.1.2 rom.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mr_zuff:
Hi phil!

I have a question for you!:)

Before flashing a new rom, what is better between:

- Rom wipe 2.08 (latest version)

- the "full wipe" in your recovery? (Under wipe data)

Thanks and have a nice evening! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
The full wipe under recovery is really clean and full

The other I have no idea
[Galaxy S II Android Development] szymko1995:
Phil, why I always have a bootloop after a full nandroid restore? Only data restore is ok. Yes, I have chosen option to include preloaded in settings.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
What version of Philz do you have installed? Is it fixed for bootloop?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] arunbbr:
That means i just flash xwlsd bootloop fixed .zip frm twrp recovery and get cwm back ??

Sir Phil

One question: some user mentioned, that formating the internal Sd card via settings doesn't work, the sd card will unmounted /mounted but still all data there.

Now they ask about the procedure in cwm under mount and storage :

Witch format is the wright for formatting the internal memory card (where i can save data)

Because there are 3 format options

Format Emmc (my suggestion)

Format sd Card (dont know external Sd or the Rest of the internal memory card)

Format ext SD card (the external memory card only).

Thx for your support!

What is the difference between factory reset and clean for new ROM installation?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] scandiun:
Factory reset erases data, cache and dalvik cache partitions. Clean for new ROM also formats system, so it means you can't boot android unless you flash another ROM. There must be the script somewhere.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr.AFK:
Clean before flash new rom:

Format system, preload, cache, data, dalvik.

After this, you have to flash a new Rom in Cwm (or boot into Download Modus for Odin)

Factory reset :

Format /data

System boots normally, you start with the wizard.

Gesendet mit meinem S IV
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pdario:
So, another couple of questions:

Will I be able to recover from such clean-for-new-ROM with a nandrodi backup?

If I flash the ROM with Odin, do I have to erase system or this is part of the Odin flashing? In other words: will Odin flash leave a custom file in system?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] williamtavares:
guys, please, if i want to change my JB ROM to another JB, but from a different country, how do I remove the CWM ? if i wipe everything & Factory reset the CMW will be gone?

thanks :)

And.. there's a way to ONLY root my device via stock Recovery? cause since i installed the whole CWM my device is crashing and so many apps... I already wiped dalvik and cache. thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Coempi:
You can root your device through flashing a rooted ROM with ODIN. If you factory reset the device custom recovery will stay. You can change it by flashing a different kernel that contains a recovery image.

Best regards

Coempi
[Galaxy S II Android Development] williamtavares:
If i just flash another oficial ROM the CWM will be lost with any problem right? Or i'll brick my phone?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Coempi:
If you flash unchanged stock then your phone will go back to the original state AFAIK. If you follow the guides you will not brick your phone.

Best regards

Coempi
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jr866gooner:
As I understand it if you flash stock you lose root and custom recovery. You go full stock then allowing you to go down another path for rooting if you ever want to.

Just make sure you download and flash the right file. Easier way to flash another custom JB ROM through recovery after full wipe.

Backup

Hi Gyus!

I want make a backup (Philz kernel, Omega v23 ROM) and my question is, should I use in misc nandroid settings option "include /preload"?

Thanks for reply!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
As I don't know Omega ROM very well: Check in a file explorer if you have any system content in your preload folder/partition.

If yes, then include it in your backup. If not, it's not needed.

BTW: You can include the preload partition in your backup and exclude it in the restore if you are not sure if you need it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Traky:
Thanks! I see something in preload folder, I will make backup with /preload. Thanks for info!

Phil, I actually like the new color scheme you created. It reminds me of "My Fair Lady" (also known as "Pygmalion" ) as I had created and did technical (sound/effects/lighting) side of this in a stage presentation years ago. Lots of violets and pinks in the scenery.

Please don't revert back to the previous scheme as default.

After 3 weeks of working flawlessly on xwlss using philz kernel, my phone just went into bootloop mode. I turned it off because battery is getting low then after replacing with a fully charged battery and turned it back on poof bootloop! Just goes into Samsung logo then reboots. I flashed philz kernel again fixed for bootloop but did not work. Looks like I will be flashing xwlss again. Is there any way to keep a record of stats or logs that will not cleared even when a reboot or restarts happen? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] THE RED BLUR:
Solution thats proven to work for me and many others to get out of this is to make a backup in recovery and then from that same backup restore data and that will repair the bootloop. ;)

Real strange you got into it since the init binary of these kernels are fixed to prevent this:confused:. I myself have never had issues with fixed versions of philz kernels.

You sure you aint flashed some mod or something?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zero_3:
Yup never flashed any mod. Just philz never did anything just normal usage.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MaXAiRO:
Is there a way to flash ONLY the recovery for people who already have root and another kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marcelser:
Also got bootloop with lss rom

Hi,

Although the binary of these roms should have been fixed, I also got into bootloop with the lss rom. I did shut down my phone with a nearly empty battery and pulled it out before the phone was completely shutdown. After replacing the battering and starting it got into bootloop. What fixed it for me was to do a e2fsck on the /data partition from the console of aroma file manager and it reported that errors were fixed and then I could boot the phone again, although a few apps were lost because of the e2fsck the phone booted normally.

Will try the backup & recovery option if it happens again and see if this works better then the e2fsck fix.

But just to mention, the bootloop is definitly not gone completely maybe it happens less often, but it's still there.

Best regards,

Marc
[Galaxy S II Android Development] THE RED BLUR:
Fair enough. Well are you going to tell me my tip worked or not :confused::D:p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
the bootloop is caused by /data corruption on unexpected shutdown

Until Samsung fixes their kernel/ROM, this will be an issue

The swapped init only lets you boot on the corrupted /data, but doesn't avoid the corruption

Until now, no real good fix was found. I personally stick to old XXLSJ ROM that seems to have a /data partition not vulnerable to the issue even on newer kernels

Probably, Samsung will never fix it for us until they release a 4.2 ROM maybe

Time to change phone?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
It depends.

Personally, I shut down properly, not a single issue during normal usage and nandroid backup done every day or two just in case :)

Thanks Phil.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] THE RED BLUR:
Or just Rom will do for now :D:p;)

i dont use a sim in this phone as i use my sim in my other phone,so turned wifi on and connected. ota software update available so i thought why not. clicked install on the warning screen and left it to update the os.......... now the problem !!! its got to aa point where i think its stuck inbetween a boot,recovery or ota update as its just constantly flashing on and off with the little green andy with the blue shape in his belly :confused: this has been going on for 1+ hour and im sure it shouldnt be taking this long ? has something gone wrong and does it need a sim inserted to complete.

ive read never to unplug whilst flashing so its still connected to power usb as i type and is still flashing on and off :crying:
