[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] droidiser:
Hello friends,

I am often bombarded with different types of questions about the clockworkmod recovery. And I couldn't find a suitable source from where a newbie can learn about clockworkmod from the source.

So, I decided to write a guide on Clockworkmod Recovery.

The guide includes:

[*]What is Recovery?

[*]All the options in clockworkmod recovery explained

[*]How to boot into clockworkmod recovery

[*]Installing it [general]

[*]Scrolling through CWM
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UtCollector@gmail.com:
Seems very newbe freindly. Every thing about the CWM recovery. Would be even nicer if you would do a guide on everything about building a cwm recovery. There the differance between Arm types and Androud versions and stuff.

Im still bussy on making my own recovery and rom for a new device. Sow i made me some guide here:

Hi my xperia arc s don't start, stop on the logo of sony ericsson! I try the Companion, SEUS and Flashtools and nothing happens when i press and hold the back key and insert the USB cable.

I have tried on 3 computers and two USB cables! I have all the drivers installed.

I try to run the pc on safe mode and turn off the antivirus.

I do not know what else to do, Please help :(

I think u should take it to the service centre... :(

Have you tried flash tools?

[Xperia Arc General] marcao84:
Yes I try the Companion, SEUS and Flashtools and nothing happens when i press and hold the back key and insert the USB cable.
[Xperia Arc General] TheHaso:
Take battery out

Hold the poweron button for 5 seconds

Reinsert battery

Connect it to AC adapter

WAIT MINIMUM 15 TO 30 MINUTES

Press home and see if the charging battery icon is there

If not leave it for a hour

Disconnect AC

Try to boot it up

My phone starts but stop on the logo of sony ericsson.

And i can't repair on companion, SEUS or flashtools, nothing happens when i press and hold the back key and insert the USB cable.
[Xperia Arc General] Tesla:
Did this just happend or did you do something to your phone, like trying a kernel or rom?

Is it on stock android with locked bootloader? you have root? Tell us.

Have you tried a different PC?
[Xperia Arc General] marcao84:
the phone was in safe mode and tried to upgrade to android 4.0 on companion.

yes i have a locked bootloader! no root!

I have tried on 3 computers and two USB cables!
[Xperia Arc General] datagubben:
IC, if you try to upgrade to ICS and its corrupted somehow while on PCC you will brick it for sure.

Maybe try to reinstall SEUS, PCC and drivers from flashtools again and start all over? :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] TheHaso:
Reinstall pc companion and repair it
[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
Judging by "...and nothing happens when i press and hold the back key and insert the USB cable" it seems that your PC is not recognising your phone in flash mode. Yes, it can happen, and it happened to me many times on fresh XP installation. What I do in that case, is booting XP in safe mode, and then connecting the phone in flash mode (without SEUS or PCC or Flashtool activated), and letting the system recognise device and install drivers needed for flash mode.

When drivers are installed, I can reboot system in normal mode, and that's it. Every next time I connect phone in flash mode, it is recognised with no problems.

But as you already said that you tried booting in safe mode, I'm out of ideas. Maybe, just maybe, try to uninstall and reinstall everything, and then boot your system in safe mode, and then (without running any program) connect your phone (in flash mode) and wait untill drivers are installed.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosley97:
I have had my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for around 3.5 weeks. First of all I must express how much i adored the tablet, and how my computer , tv and games consoles became obsolete. However recently, I looked into rooting the device, I eventually did after 1 week of speculating possible scenarios in my head. So i rooted it using the Clockwork Mod method, again it worked fine for a couple of days, until i was playing a game, when the battery ran dead flat. Normally this would of been ok, however when i plugged it into the official samsung ac adapter plug, it recognized it as charging, but in 12 hours it hadn't risen by 1%. I was furious, I had saved up alot of money, for a long time - for it to brake. I then tried charging via usb connection , still no luck.

I tried searching online for similar cases where they couldn't get it to charge. I didn't find any for the N8010, but for other devices. They reccomended factory resetting , to see if that would help. So.. I did that ( after finding that after 2 days it goes up by 1 %) still no luck, so my question to you is:

' Have any of you experienced similar cases with your note, and what do you suggest?'

Admittedly, I am new to this - so somewhere along the line, I had probably failed which caused this, but still any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caaznkid:
Try Odin to stock. If that doesn't work then you probably have to get it fixed
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Plug it into a usb port of your computer. This will charge though slower than your wall charger. I suggest this in case there's something wrong with the wall charger. If it charges then you know its not the tablet...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttreed07:
I was wondering if you had any luck with this yet? i remember back when i owned a droid x i flashed a ROM that prevented charging. If you weren't lucky enough to have a spare battery around some people ended up splitting the usb cable and connecting it straight to the battery to do a force charge. If you are up against a wall and are desperate to get it charged you can check out this guide to opening it up http://cnettv.cnet.com/cracking-open-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1/9742-1_53-50130350.html the reason i say that is because it sounds like you need to ODIN back to completely stock and then start over. You don't want to run ODIN unless you have a good charge though. I have no idea if this is good advice or not... the thought just crossed my mind when i read your situation. Take my advice for what it's worth (not much) and do so at your own risk as i accept no responsibility if you end up with a $500 paperweight.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosley97:
I really would like to try this, but for that i need to boot into download mode, to boot into download mode i need battery .. A problem fix that needs the fix before you fixed it ..

Damn! I can get it to the same 1 % however quickly, but again I cannot charge through USB or AC adapter, both recognize as charging..

Does anyone know of a way to charge another way?

P.S. I managed to get a charge once.. after not being able to . The outcome was that it was 17% and by the time I looked at the guide again it was out of battery. I found if i completly discharge the battery, then leave it a couple of days, then charge.. it miraculously works! But I don't think that is normal.I will try that again in a last ditch chance , then i will reflash stock firmware.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samir_a:
I think its more of an issue with Rom which is doing that you should try reverting back to stock rom one question if you have CWM why didnt you take nanodroid backup if you would have done that it would have saved you loads of trouble.

I am not an expert of Samsung devices, but isnt there a method like we have in LG using NVFlash or Smartflash which does not require battery.

Also may be the RIL has spooked your charging volts
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Mate, that's not normal. If you get it to charge, wait until its ay least 50% charged before trying to flash, though it sounds like things aren't working properly there anyway... If you get it back to stock and there's still a problem definately return it as it sounds like battery could be stuffed. Don't forget, if you haven't already, to run triangle away as you need to reset flash counter before loosing root.... Especially if you're returning under warranty....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosley97:
I have run triangle away, that 'should' be fine. just got to try to get it to charge, then flash the stock.. ( i get that from sammobile right? N8010 latest ota update which is arounf 1 gb?)

hi:

i use [ROM] UNOFFICIAL CM9 with working camera prev9

i know this h/b asked many times and i searched for an answer::

an app stopped working.. cleared cache from settings--no change..

reboot, cleared cache and delvik.. tried fix permissions also--no change..

uninstalled app / reinstalled app-- got error "Insufficient Storage Available"

looked for any ".com" references to the app--didnt see any

i have 219mb used and 1.3GB free internal storage ..

i also dont see setting to install to SD by default, just in case that would help..

i havent tried to install anything while on this latest prev9, i doubt thats the problem tho..

thanx for any help
[TouchPad General] bit1:
You have to delete the .odex file related to that app usually in /system/app if not I'm pretty sure you can delete.odex files using Lucky Patcher
[TouchPad General] amkaos:
i uninstalled app, then looked for a related .odex file but found none

tahnx
[TouchPad General] bit1:
Are you using something like root explorer? It may be in /data/app but I'm pretty sure the file manager had to be root enabled. You remember how sometimes in Windows you uninstall a program but the shortcut and folder are still there? You have to manually go in and delete those files yourself? That's giving you that insufficient storage issue. If all else fails, full wipe out wipe of system will put you clean again.
[TouchPad General] amkaos:
k, i did what you sugg'd:: did find a related odex and deleted it..

reinstalled from google play .. gave me the"unfortunately...has stopped" error..the same as my original prob that started my insufficient space error..

i guess im beat..

i ll probly have to wipe out and reinstall ..

i thought for sure a restore from nandroid wouldve helped tho..

thanx..
[TouchPad General] Stryeguy:
After you delete the .odex, just to be certain the app is restored to the pre-odex state, in Lucky Patcher > Long press troublesome app > Remove ODEX with Changes! (restore application).

Then, go into system/settings/applications/all applications/Google Play Store and hit 'clear data'. Reboot into Recovery > Wipe dalvik & cache (a tad redundant, I know), reboot into system.

If this fails, after clearing caches, try re-flashing Gapps.
[TouchPad General] amkaos:
thanx for the reply.

i did fresh install including prev9.. i now do nandroid backup of that clean, naked install -- nothing else installed..

i will do a nandroid restore of a previously working backup and try all you

suggest..

i dont know if there is more current version of gapps than "gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip", but i ll find out find what i need

thanx again
[TouchPad General] Stryeguy:
4/29 should be kosher. Good luck
[TouchPad General] Stryeguy:
I stumbled across an application that should rectify your issue:

Amaze Memory Clear

Give it a shot if you are still having that issue. Report back, too - I'm kinda curious, myself.
[TouchPad General] amkaos:
that extra step you took was really great of you.. i will try it..

EDIT::

i found an obscure workaround for my original prob.. install ol file manager.. dont have to change anything.. just have it installed..

it did fix the stopped working problem..

so i reverted to my nandroid prev9 backup , installed ol file manager on this backup and everything works as before..

i did installed your memory clear app and it found quite a bit of space after i cleared apps cache and recovery mode cache and delvik..

so altho i dont know if it wouldve fixed my original prob, i do know it frees up alot of space...

really , i would bet against it fixing that prob cuz i had alot of space .... i didnt have much installed..

thanx for the tip
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hilalkan:
I have a Samsung S3 on O2 (UK). Yesterday I got a system update notification and I downloaded and installed the update (it was quite big, about 300MB). There were no issues during the install and it restarted fine when it finished, however about an hour later the phone just restarted itself on its own (it was in my pocket) and then just kept looping the restart process over and over. I couldnt get the phone to get passed the logo screen. I tried removing the battery, sim card, etc but nothing helped. I read in a post here to try to use the "Recovery Mode" to restart the device. I did that and it worked, I was able to get the phone started again, but about half an hour later it did exactly the same thing but this time I couldn't get into recovery mode anymore! I read a few more posts on this forum and it looked like the update had soft bricked my phone. I could get the phone into download mode so I thought I would try using Odin to re-install the stock firmware. I followed the instructions on the post to the letter, downloaded the correct firmware from Samsung, installed the USB drivers for the phone but when I tried to use Odin it just said the the update failed. Now when I turn on the phone I get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I have read a few posts on suggested work arounds but no matter what I try Odin always just gets stuck on "Nand Start Write!!!". I have tried re-installing the USB driver, using a different cable and even a diff computer but always the same.

Can anyone help? This is really annoying. I have never tried to do a root or mess around with the phone so it seems really odd that something like this would happen following a standard update

P.S These are the instructions I followed when I tried to re-install the official firmware - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671969

I'm an official member from the LiquidSmooth Team and I am looking to work on the Razr I along with hiemanshu. One problem is that we need to get a device to Hiemanshu. He is working on creating a device tree from scratch and has done about as much as he can with just the files he found online.

We're turning to the community for help to acquire a device to be able to dev with. Our goal would to raise enough money to purchase a Razr I to develop on. It will be much easier to have 2 or more devs working on porting the device completely. I'd like to have a goal of a device within the next month or so. This "seems" feasible, although time will tell.

If you'd like to help, please donate accordingly. Click on the Donate to me button here on XDA - I will forward on the monies to Hiemanshu. You can donate straight to Hiemanshu though. See third post.

Beyond that, look forward to helping the community get this device supported. Look forward to the help from you guys!

Not the thread to discus it but.

Gingerbread and ICS/JB are using different kind of libs/drivers. The main difference between them is that almost all drivers have moved to other folders and have other driver structures. GB and ICS/JB are not the same ;) That's why especially low end phones such as the Wildfire. We got a very hard time to get the camera working on ICS, but we managed :)
