What benefif from cwm6
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Google CWM6 changelog.. mostly super fast backup/restore
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] FrOz3n:
And faster installing ROM, I've flashed CM10 in hmmm 20 sec ?! idk but faster than with CWM5. And it let you install zip via ADB(still untested) I'm going to test it now.

Sweet and useful info for all Mini2 users :)

EDIT: TheWhisp should this CWM be touch or classic version?

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] FrOz3n:
Why touch !? In my opinion that would bring you only fail menu touches so its a no from me for the touch verzion..

Re: [DEV] ClockWorkMod 6.0.2.8 - coming soon

Wow good job i can't wait to try it. Is the recovery loop exist?

Sorry for my bad english
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] FrOz3n:
Haven't run into it yet.

For the installation over sideload, I confirm IT WORKS. Thank you TheWhisp :)

You just setup the android SDK, install ADB tools, download your favourite ROM (currently mine is CM10 xD) and install it over ADB.

What does Install update via sideload do?!

You don't have to put your rom or flashing .zip file in your phone or SD card.

If you have it in your downloads folder (in linux) you just connect your phone to sideload on CWM6 and write in terminal (on your PC)

"adb sideload <.zip_file_path>" and you have it :)

Example. You have update.zip file in your downloads folder, so you write

adb sideload ~/Downloads/update.zip

So yah, i tried it, and as I said, it works falwlessly :)

PS. There are like NO bugs so I think this is going to be released tomorrow or so. Let's see what TheWhisp thinks :)

Re: [DEV] ClockWorkMod 6.0.2.8 - coming soon

Will it be compatible with existing flashable zip files? The whisp has been working hard for s6500. Thanks.

Sent from s6500d with custom ROM and kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] FrOz3n:
It's compatible with all .zip files I have tried yet. It doesn't matter which zip file you try, it should work as long as the zip file worked in the previous CWM5.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fallen_Knight:
cant wait for it...now its free from cwm loop .
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] djfnz:
Great news!!!! I'm very happy! Fast backup and fast restore!!! Ohh yeah! Thanks Whisp!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tekkenl0rd13:
our beloved dev thewhisp really makes the Galaxy Mini 2 alive..

CM10+CWM really good.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
and again... Ace Plus users ask me for help, I fix their kernel, they use my Mini 2 config, rename every jena to trebon and can't include me in the credits. Hate people like that. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] myconfusedo:
don't ever help 'em anymore sir

people like 'em never learned a lesson ..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
It kind of feels sad when you do something in your free time and someone just takes your work and say it's his. Anyway, release in an hour.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] djfnz:

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] midzan21:
[MENTION=5368120]zokni1996[/MENTION] I got same problem. And yes [MENTION=4900076]djfnz[/MENTION] I redownloaded again and still nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
I repacked it and re-uploaded when I read xfim's post.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] zokni1996:
thx, but the problem isn't fixed... i tried to download an another browser, an another computer.... my odin version is 3.07
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] midzan21:
[MENTION=4148720]TheWhisp[/MENTION] I got an idea for latest CWM. Before on my old LG Optimus One I could flash a newwer CWM via flashable zip. Now I ask you as main developer could this be possible for our phone so you can pack latest CWM into flashable zip so we can flash it from older CWM and update it to newer version. If you think that is wrong fine, but that's my personal opinion and I found somewhere that somebody here do that and it worked but now I'm on phone and I can't find it anymore.

EDIT: Now I checked something on my laptop and I saw that even if I delete*.md5 extension and return it to the only *.tar on older versions of CWM WinRAR opens it fine, but latest version it says that is corrupted. I can't make picture right now because I have very bad Internet on my wiFi Tethering with laptop and Mini 2.

Sent from Thermonucler bomber called Optimus One using XDA Premium
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
ok, I uploaded CWM flashable .zip. It works fine
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] :
because with the new cmw there is this text? " Warning no file contexts"?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
it's because of SELinux, it's not enabled on Mini 2
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] :
but then it is not a problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fallen_Knight:
cant make a back up with latest cwm 6.0.3.5..

always reboot bbefore generating md5 checksum

so when trying to restore, md5 checksum mismatch error...

pls fix
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] the-bomber:
always reboot on cwm 6.0.3.5 when i'm mounting USB storage !!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fallen_Knight:
any fix for cwm 6.0.3.5 bug in making back up?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] manudroid19:
Bug on 6.0.3.5

When I use your last cwm update, aroma installer is not correctly displayed. The colours are... rare. White is blue and similar colour changes like that

This is new; aroma worked perfectly in cmw 6.0.3.3 b1 and b2
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] rhisendark:
phone reboots itself in 3-4 minutes with the latest build btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MrMateczko:
TheWhisp, why not delete the 6.0.3.5 build from goo.im? As you can see in the last 2 pages, there are a lot of bugs. The 6.0.3.3 b2 worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
updated to 6.0.3.6
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fallen_Knight:
no bug eh?? downloading
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ward0:
Try before asking for bugs .. be happy that the big DEV thewisp helps us.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fallen_Knight:
not asking you...

edit: found bug. autoreboot when restoring / making back up
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] the-bomber:
:/ the phone auto reboot itself !!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
select "report error"
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] the-bomber:
it ask me to install rom manager :/ and i heard it bricked someone device !
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
I doubt CWM would ask you to install RM. It will just create a log file on sdcard. You're probably doing something wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] the-bomber:
okay thanks ;)

question : is it rebooting in u r phone too ? or it's just me !
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fallen_Knight:
i also experience autoreboot bug..reverted to 6.0.3.3b2
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] manudroid19:
Me too. Random reboots and aroma colours still buggy since 6.0.3.5 build

My phone won't boot into recovery, no matter how long do I press Vol up + Vol down + Home + Power. It doesn't shows the Samsung logo, nor the cwm logo, it's stucked at CM10.1 boot animation.

I can get into the download but not in the recovery.

Advise please.

The recovery is ClockWorkMod 6.0.3.3.

If you can't boot into download mode, try emergency download mode - take off battery, wait few minutes, hold download combination for few seconds, insert battery, wait few seconds and press volume up, and connect to usb.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bwn:
because you must hold vol+ + vol- + home + power...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rendering:
I tried that combo too. Samsung logo appeared, then the screen turned off. And, no, I did not rebooted into the stock ROM before trying the combo
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] aamj1997:
Use that combo, keep it pressed until Samsung logo appers, then release them
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bwn:
or for sure you can release only power button, your phone just turned off, because you were holding power button too long
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Rendering:
Should I re-flash the recovery If I accidentally let the stock ROM to boot?

If you have CWM, you don't have to reflash, because you have it flashed on your phone and it should work just fine

[MENTION=4148720]TheWhisp[/MENTION] do you have problems with CWM 6.0.4.5 ???
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
no
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] NiceIceDice96:
So why we suffer from internal sdcard0 mounting can you see what this problem please cuz this is why I can't install cm 11
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jack_21:
6.0.3.3b2 is broken

Odin shows MD5 error and if you bypass this using tar as extension, Oding installs it but is impossible to open the recovery. Simply the combo doesn't work

In 6.0.4.5 is impossible to mount internal sdcard with nfc version

Inviato dal mio GT-S6500 con Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] manudroid19:
and in S6500D with stock rom and modded kernel too. sdcard0 can't be mounted!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
because recovery doesn't have anything to do with the rom you've installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] NiceIceDice96:
Explain more I didn't exactly understand what is the problem
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] droper_250:
He said that the problem isn't the rom that you have installed
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] NiceIceDice96:
and why cwm can't mount sdcard0 if the problem not from the rom
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ItachiSama:
It may be part of kernel or recovery config files, easily.

And when [MENTION=4148720]TheWhisp[/MENTION] will have some spare time and had unterstood what is the problem,

he'll give us a new working build of CWM ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
it has nothing to do with the kernel, then no-one could mount it. The storage is registered on every device, the problem is Android cannot mount it.

CWM uses the same minivold as CM, that explains it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] NiceIceDice96:
do that mean when it will be fixed in the cm11 rom source then it will be fixed in cwm i mean do everyone use the same version of cwm have this problem
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fallen_Knight:
your using s6500d right..then seagman's workaround should work..i tried it once then i have no more sdcard0 mount problem on both cwm and cm11...flash the pit..saves your time
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] rhisendark:
I flashed [MENTION=5115703]bleached[/MENTION] 's cwm just for mounting sdcard. then flashed regular update. 6.0.4.5 now something happened and I don't know how I can mount all my storage in cwm... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] NiceIceDice96:
no i have s6500
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bleached:
I flashed the other update without problem. Don't really understand what problem you have. Perhaps you could try flashing 6.0.3.2b with odin and then apply TheWhisp's update..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] rhisendark:
I don't have a problem :) I used to have a problem but don't know how I got rid of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ItachiSama:

BUT why pit when i flash stock tom odin says getting pit for mapping that is mean the pit file inside the stock img and pit will be flashed automaticqlly before flashing the system rom in odin

the pit file can be exported from every device. ( heimdall -print-pit --verbose ) And you should also be able to re-partition with it, but I don't know how safe it is.

hello sir,

i have a problem i am trying to replace CWM 5.0.2.8 with 6.0.4.5 but unfortunately my mini GT S6500 is stuck in 5.0.2.8 bootloop,when i extract the 6.0.4.5 file odin does not seem to find the file on PDA...can you please advise on how to replace this version while in this predicament...thank you:crying:

am on stock GB 2.3.6

And then you can reflash any cwm.

the problem i am having is that whenever i plug the device into ODIN 3 even when powered off it just boots up into the CWM recovery and fails the flash...anymore suggestions...?

when the device is plugged into odin i have two [COM11] and [COM12] show up in yellow...when i flash your stock or any recovery i get

enter CS for MD5

check MD5..do not unplug the cable

please wait

recovery.tar.MD5 is valid

If you are stuck in recovery mode, just reboot to bootloader from cwm.

About flash with odin 3, leave on usb ports just phone usb cable, or try another pc.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mrsim:
how do i reboot to bootloader...evertime i go to reboot system now it reboots back to CWM
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] midzan21:
take out battery for about 5 minutes, then take it back and press

VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER

and now you are in "bootloader"/Download mode where you can reflash CWM to newer version (6.0.3.2b2 is stable enough)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mrsim:
thank you will try this and let you know the results...:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mrsim:
well first i flashed the stock recovery that was posted for me by [MENTION=5395003]MaDaLiNoSt[/MENTION]...that seemed to wipe some data off my device,then i installed CWM 6.0.3.2b2,

that installed ok...now i cant seem to access recovery with vol+ -/power button/home...the device just keeps vibrating a lot or booting back into the UI...can i access the recovery any other way besides the whole finger wrestle mania...:confused:

and playstore keeps FC whenever i try to download an app...need to check if i am still rooted...but can't download rootchecker to find out

UPDATE downloaded rootchecker through google and installed device is still rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] midzan21:
Well you say that you have rooted device than try this app for reboot to recovery:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=hr

It worked while I was on stock ROM :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mrsim:
yeah i downloaded it and booted from it and now i am back in a recovery bootloop again...:silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MaDaLiNoSt:
To solve an recovery loop you just need to flash something in odin, and everything is done. :cool:

You can reflash stock rom, stock recovery, or an custom recovery like cwm or twrp. :D

Enjoy the time with your phone, it could be the last, because this phone is not so popular :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mrsim:
the problem is not flashing the recovery...it's booting into it after flashing..if i use a third party app it bootloops...and i cannot seem to boot using the normal method with vol rockers power and menu...grrr...it is very frustrating
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MaDaLiNoSt:
Please , think about you are not the first user of this phone. I also get this loop sometimes, and is not frustrating !

I will tell you again how to skip this loop>

To power off from recovery just select that option, or remove temporary the battery.

Press vol. down+home+power (for 3 seconds).

Then skip the first message with vol. up .

Now connect your phone to pc, and flash stock rom or an recovery via PDA Column.

If your phone is not recognized, you will not see in odin ,,COM %,,. And flashing progress will be stopped after leaving CS.

If you selected auto reboot in odin your phone will be automaticaly rebooted when flashing is finished.

If not selected auto reboot in odin, just remove the battery, and put it back and then power the phone.

And, please do not try to>

- select ,,Flash lock,, in odin.( I will be hard to unlock bootloader again. You might probably go to the mobile service. )

- flash .pit files in odin ( Pit files are used for re-partitioning, else is not useful. Flashing it from another model or an custom rom, it will cause a little soft brick, see Q&A Mini 2 for solutions! )

It was that so hard?! NO, is just a lot to explain.
