I have the dlink wifi issue. I tried running a linksys router to one of the dlink port which worked but I have to turn bluetooth off. Really odd. I'm getting another one tomorrow so I'll post if the new batch is any better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xcor3:
These issues people! Smearing, overheating, lag, wifi, lte connectivity. I won't say all the first batch have these issues, but some of them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pezlomd:
Smearing is for sure in all s4s at the moment. Not 1 s4 I have seen that doesn't smear.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd300:
Although new to 'Rooting' I have been reading extensively...I have been attempting to root my thunderbolt using the latest Thunderbolt-Tool-v1.1-BETA.zip...Each time I start the process, I completed the back up, but then I get an error message saying that the download was bad and it needs to re download the files...Here nothing happens...Can the upgraded thunderbolt be rooted? If so, where can I get help?..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onedementedsmurf:
First step would be to go here and register so that you can unlock your bootloader. (Quick easy step-by-step instructions)

Next step would be to install the necessary drivers for adb/fastboot. (to my knowledge this cannot be done on Win 8 64-bit possibly 32-bit either; specifically fastboot) For necessary items check the above mentioned site when looking at the instructions they are listed on the right. Or if running Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Now follow the step-by-step instructions to unlock the bootloader.

Then get this tool and follow the instructions (Windows only) to gain root. If running Ubuntu I'm not entirely sure how to get root as I'm lucky enough to have 2 laptops 1 running Ubuntu (easier bootloader unlocking) and 1 running Windows 8 64-bit and it took TONS of work to get it done considering Win 8 64 won't let me install fastboot drivers.

Hope that was helpful, and I hope even more that you're not running Win 8 64-bit lol

You'll also find instructions here as well as a crap ton more ROMs than available here on XDA

I try to compile a kernel for LG P690 from this but I have errors. I use arm-eabi-linaro-4.6.2. How can I fix it?
[LG Optimus G (International)] JestuKrak:
I'm thinking of getting LG-F180L red wine from South Korea, It is an korean version.

However I have several questions which I couldnt find answers to anywhere.

I live in the UK, 3 is my network. LTE comes out in several monts time, its going to be 1800mhz , is it going to work with this phone?

Also it is 32GB version but there was an info on wikipedia that is has micro sd slot anyways and removable battery which I dont know if its true, the model which im thinking about is LG-F180L RED WINE from korea.

Here is the info from wikipedia ''This Optimus G variant is similar to the E973 model with additional Japan-exclusive features such as FeliCa wallet support, a removable battery, a waterproof hydrophobic coating on all components and support for band 1 2100mhz LTE. The phone is also available in a currently-exclusive Red color.''

So.. is this korean red wine version same as japanese one?

thanks
[LG Optimus G (International)] skdubg:
Korea is Korea and japan is japan

no sd, no remove battery, no waterproof.

it says that this model will have built-in Blackberry fuctionality. Would anyone here know if this is a hardware revision on the XDAII or just a software revision?

If its only a software revision, we can probably install an application to have this fuctionality on our XDAII.

[Nexus S Android Development] migueldbr:
Awesome! Right now i cant test it but when i get the chance i will. it does support full nandroid backup doesnt it? The only reason i am still using an older version of cwm recovery is because i really dont like those incremental backups
[Nexus S Android Development] assassinoid:
Gonna Flash it and then reply later :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
:eek:

blobs were always optional. You can force tar if you look in Backup and Restore / backup format
[Nexus S Android Development] migueldbr:
oh...didnt know that...lol. i thought that it only changed format (like using .rar instead of .zip), i didnt knew i could change between incremental or full backups.

Anyway, looking forward to try your recovery. Will report back when its done.

EDIT: Just tried it, it flashed well and made a backup with no problems. havent tried to flash any zip yet because i didnt need to. will report back if i see any bug.

btw it looks awesome and it is very customizable!

[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
does usb mount work ???
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
Ask your ROM maker to fix the crappy scripting he's using and to update his flash binary

Else, stick to older versions supporting legacy code

Latest versions added legacy support to detect these outdated codes and which is more tolerant to crappy scripts.

However, I do not plan to update crespo anymore. Ask some of your developers to compile it from my git if you need updated version
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Though I only flash 4.x.x ROMs.. No more gingerbreads ect.. I haven't had any issues with this recovery.. If people knew more about what they were doing by reading and not just b!t©hing, they'd get further.. This is an excellent recovery.. Thanks for the support. ;)

[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
i use to have a rom on sd too ... but sometimes a full sd wipe can be a good thing and without an usb mount working you have to use adb ... and i don't like to use adb :P anyway if i'll have to do that i'll downgrade :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Basche:
Just curious, do you mean that usb isn't working when you're in recovery or just when phone is on?
[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
u can't mount your sd partition using the usb cable while in recovery to see and move content inside it ... but of course it work while you'r on your rom !
[Nexus S Android Development] kkkhattak:
I think there is a bug in "fix permissions" . CAN SOMEBODY CONFIRM IT ?
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
You should never use any fix perm program. It is a sort of desaster recovery
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
Can you try this and report if you can mount usb storage?

http://d-h.st/i54
[Nexus S Android Development] BBuZZ:
There's no option to mount usb storage on pc...
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
It should be under:

Mounts and Storage / mount USB storage

It is the last item in Mounts and Storage menu
[Nexus S Android Development] BBuZZ:
Wait a sec, gonna flash again....

EDIT: Not working...
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
You know you have to wait about 1mn also?

Reboot into recovery, connect phone to usb, wait until something shows on PC (about 1 mn)

Then try the USB mount option

If this is confirmed not working I can try reverting the kernel to try a last fix
[Nexus S Android Development] BBuZZ:
Its plugged in with usb mounted for about 15 minutes.... i even forgot that it was connected.. try cwm touch 6.0.1.0.. it worked just fine...
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
I do not own the Nexus S or any thing else than an i9100 ;)

Post a link to that cwm touch 6.0.1.0 recovery.img with working USB and I will try its kernel/ramdisk
[Nexus S Android Development] BBuZZ:
I have it in my other computer.. give me a few minutes...
[Nexus S Android Development] BBuZZ:
USB mounting is already working..

OP already updated the links..

Thank him for his great work
[Nexus S Android Development] raducux:
Why is the last release 1 mb smaller ? Than the other two
[Nexus S Android Development] BBuZZ:
Yes.. the one with 4.46mb

Already backed up, and flashed another rom with this one.. and copying from usb mount is confirmed working...
[Nexus S Android Development] raducux:
Yeah. Tested it too. It works well.

Was just wondering myself why is it way smaller on size.
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
Kernel is smaller. I just swapped kernel and use a prebuilt stock one. Seems only option for usb mount
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
By the way, this version also enables efs backup and restore
[Nexus S Android Development] morrigan91:
Thanks Phil for your work, many of us have waited a long time for a fully functional recovery, PhilZ touch 5 is awesome!

But I have a question about the efs backup, is it normal to be so small (0.01MB)? In "clockworkmod/custom_backup/.efs_backup/date&time_folder" i have only a "nandroid.md5" empty file and a 6kb "recovery.log", i searched in sdcard but there are no img or tar of the efs.

Usually an efs backup is a 4 MB img file.

There is also a little bug for the efs backup, in custom backup, I uncheck all the partition and select only the efs one, but when I try to start the backup the log said "efs must be backed up alone" and I need to tap on "Backup preload" which is "N/A" and remains so, after doing this the backup starts.
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
Yaffs2 issue probably. I will fix it. Also, thanks for reporting about the preload bug. I will fix it
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
Have one question. In this version, can you mount efs under mounts and storage menu? Or it stays unmounted

Also, once mounted, you can see its contents using aromafm or adb shell?
[Nexus S Android Development] morrigan91:
Yes, I can mount it and after doing this aroma shows /efs in root and the backup works partially (I think): in clockworkmod/custom_backup/.efs_backup/ now there are the folder "date_time", an empty "efs_date_time.img" and a 132 bytes "log.txt" files. The folder "date_time" contains 4 files: efs.yaffs2.tar (0 Bytes), efs.yaffs2.tar.a (4.0 MB), nandroid.md5 (100 Bytes) and recovery.log (50 KB)
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
The tar backup looks good (4Mb)

The img is bad. Can you post log.txt content from the img backup?
[Nexus S Android Development] morrigan91:
log.txt
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
Thank you for the log. It is what I was thinking

Here's a fully recompiled version 5.03.9

Download: http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16784#files

Hope it fixes your issues

Please, test if reported bugs were fixed, mainly efs backup

The restore should work, but I never tested it personally on yaffs2 partitions as I only have an ext4 phone

However, it should work without issues, but be sure to have a previous good efs backup before attempting a restore
[Nexus S Android Development] morrigan91:
Unfortunately, efs backup still doesn't work perfectly, the log said "can't mount /efs" but this time it created the img file (seems ok, 4.25 MB) in ".../custom_backup" but not the tar file, the folder "custom_backup/date_time" is empty.

log.txt

If I try to mount /efs the log returns "error mounting /efs"
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
Well, I removed the tar to let recovery uses its native yaffs2 engine, so no tar normally

However, under /custom_backup, the image should be created by the raw handler without errors in log.txt
[Nexus S Android Development] morrigan91:
Ok, but after doing an efs backup the log doesn't looks good

The img file seems ok, (the same size of my others backups). Can you put the img in the folder "date_time" or don't create the folder?

I tried to backup modem but it creates only the empty "nandoid.md5" and the "recovery.log" file.

Recovery and boot backups seems ok, an 8MB img file each one.

Anyway, you are the man! Thanks for your work!
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
is it related to not being s-off? Or no s-off here?
[Nexus S Android Development] morrigan91:
Bootloader unlocked, yes.

I've reflashed the 5.03.9 with the zip and I've tried even with fastboot flash, of course after doing this I've rebooted the recovery and the problem still remains, but for a friend the efs backup has worked, his log is a bit different and the img file is bigger (6.8MB) although his efs folder's size is the same of mine.

and this is his log.txt
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
Confusing

For your friend, the raw backup using new MTD name works however, the cwm based backup fails. Maybe cwm needs the faked name while cat uses the mmcblk

I will make a small change to see if I can get the yaffs2 backup working, as was the tar version.

Now, why on your side the cat doesn't work, it could be a corrupted partition as your partition dump stops at 4Mb

Ensure you have enough free space by the way
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
Ok, try this one:

http://d-h.st/2gT

It should fix, at least for your friend, the backup in "tar" mode, actually, yaffs2 not tar

The raw backup (img) will be broken again, but this is to fix things one by one.

Once yaffs2 is fixed, I will restore the working raw backup we got on previous version

Big thanks for all your help in fixing this
[Nexus S Android Development] morrigan91:
Free space ok, 10 GB and 700MB in internal, imei is ok and I have no problem with signals. I have an old img backup done when my NS has only a week of life and the size is the same.

I tried "dd if=/dev/block/mtdblock6 of=/sdcard/efs.img" command in terminal and it returned the read error: I/O error and a 4.25 img file.

My problem, sorry.
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
Ah, nice to hear

Can you test or someone else, the last version to see if yaffs2 backup works or not on /efs

It is this one: http://d-h.st/2gT

Custom Backup / select efs and give the log

log: Advanced / Report Error

Then zip the /sdcard/philz_recovery.log and attach it here
[Nexus S Android Development] Phil3759:
No one interested?

I am working on next update to fix many issues

Nexus S is the only device I support with /efs being a yaffs2 partition and having wired MTD name in fstab

I can fix it if I get a log or description of what works and not for efs with above version. Else, I am updating all other devices in the next couple of days and this will have to wait for you
[Nexus S Android Development] morrigan91:
yes.. i am busy in this day.. but is important to fix..
