Any way to do a nandroid backup from the clockwork mod on JI6 (froyo) since the recovery screen won't install the unsigned update.zip that ROM manager uses to enable clockwork mod recovery?
[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
You need to do this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804226 just use the version of Odin that you used to install Froyo. This will enable 2e Recovery needed to run ClockworkMod Recovery.
[Captivate General] m7ia:
Thanks for that thread, are there any cons to using that kernel? (reading the thread now)
[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
None for me so far. I've been running it about 2 weeks now and I have no problems.
[Captivate General] m7ia:
Thanks, I'm in the process of flashing it now
[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
The kernel flash is easy, it takes 30 seconds. Enjoy.
[Captivate General] m7ia:
Yup, it was just as simple as you said, thanks! :) Just made a nandroid backup. And clockwork mod's recovery is great
[Captivate General] Tenacious--M:
Im sorry if this is a dumb question...Im brand new to Android. What is Nandroid Backup?

I rooted and did the clockwork/rom manager download and then did this:

How to Install ClockWork Recovery:

1. On the menu there should be an option labeled “FLASH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY.”

Press it.

2. Once a popup says that it has been succesful press “BACKUP CURRENT ROM”

3. Your phone will now restart and backup your ROM

4. If your phone does not start backing up and instead boots into a blue menu use the volume

keys to select reboot now and then press the power button. Try to do all the steps again.

5. Wait for it to finish and then it should restart.

Is this different from a Nandroid backup?
[Captivate General] newter55:
Clockwork, nandroid, both refer to rom manager utilities. Clockwork is the recovery function and nandroid the backup utility.

But you need to select reinstall packages at screen with blue text. Clockwork/nandroid will have green text menu.

Swyped.....you may have to interpret
[Captivate General] Tenacious--M:
But im doing both the Clockwork/Nandroid with the Rom manager app correct? I did the reinstall packages and then it showed code scrolling and a status bar that took a minute or two... Is that what you mean? Did I do it right?
[Captivate General] newter55:
Yep....that is a nandroid backup

a issue no one else seems to have

Hey,

I just rooted my phone a few days ago so i could install the lag fix on my captivate. Got it done and it runs great now. I started looking around at these custom ROMs and i'm interested in trying one out, but not with out backing up my stock/rooted rom first in case i screw something up. Here is the prob that i'm having.

I installed Clockwork Rom manager NP. Got Busy box installed already too. I opened up rom manager and hit back/recover and it asked me my phone type. I told it the captivate. It downloaded recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-captivate.zip into a recoveries directory. Next i clicked on the fix permissions and let it do its thing. Now i clicked on backup current ROM clicked ok for the default name. Phone reboots into recover mode and pops up with.

update media, finished

--install from package....

Finding update package...

opening update package...

E:can't open /cache/update.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

I hit reinstall packages and it gives me the same error.

The only thing that i have try was renaming the recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-captivate.zip to update.zip and dropping it in the main directory but it had the same effect.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Get and update.

I re-dropped the recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-captivate.zip as update.zip in the main dir. and hit backup current mod.

I clicked reinstall packages and it went into the manual mode, hit reinstall pages again and it has seemed to work.

I will give and update if it does not. Thanks again.

Guys,

One thing I am not sure of. I got a brand new Captivate with Stock JF6. I have another one running Froyo.

If I take backup of current new phone via CWM (nandroid) and restore it on the other one.

Is there any trouble expected ???

One I know that files in /efs may get screwed up as it has IMEI related entries too ... but I am not sure.

I am listening.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
From what I understand, The clockwork version of Nandroid backup doesn't back up the kernel of the rom. This is why I don't bother using it. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong
[Captivate General] jwkicklighter:
I've been trying to figure out how to make nandroid backups for a while. Thanks, worked like a charm!
[Captivate General] cdwhit:
Ok. Stupid question, but I'rather a stupid question than another screwed up phone. I'm on captivate 2. On the first one I immediately rooted, deleted crapware, played with ROMs, and ended up using Odin.

Oops. At the end of this I had a 72 hour old phone which would no longer go into recovery of get OTA updates.

Now i have phone 2. Before I play I want to know I can get back to where I am now.

If i root my phone, the later unroot, is it exactly the same as before I rooted?

If I use ROM manager to back up my system, and It then gets screwed up, can I back up to where I am now,unroot, and still get updates and have EXACTLY. The phone I have today?

Thanks.
[Captivate General] iutbs:
did you follow directions very closely when using odin? I couldn't get it to work correctly first time I tried but then used one of the other methods and it worked flawlessly. if phone still will power on its not hardware bricked just software from what I understand and you should be able to masterwipe and load stock. I've never had the best of luck in backing up and restoring apps and such so I always just start from scratch each time. I've found it gives me a more complete experience as opposed to having to worry if a program might cause a conflict aftet a restore . that's just me though
[Captivate General] cdwhit:
It's not that Odin didn't put a system back on my phone. It's that after running Odin, I was one of those that lost the 3 button recovery. I was also told, after the fact, that phones which had gone back to stock with Odin could no longer get OTA updates, and that was apparently true since I had to use Kies to get the update.

I would like to be able to try out ROMs, but I would like to be able to go back to where it was from ATT so I can get OTA updates later if I desire. I also would like the safety net incase this phone has some other "feature" that is disabled by something in Odin. I'm basically trying to avoid the screw ups I made on the first phone.
[Captivate General] gmanunited:
Once kies is used your Odin rom will essentially be back to stock. Updates should come over the air. I personally do not think we will be getting many more OTAs but one could hope.
[Captivate General] JohnnyDanger:
When I first rooted and put a custom rom I ended up returning to stock a little while after. When I did this I couldn't get the ota update to work. Well after searching around I found that if you clear the cache of a running app it will let you do the ota update again. I'm sure you can find what app you need to clear the cache of thru a google search. I will look for it in little bit and post back here.

***Edit***

I found it. Once you return to stock using Odin 1-click, then you need to go to settings>Applications>Filter All> and clear cache for Device Management.

I dont see Device Management on my phone running Phoenix, but I know it was there when it was stock.
[Captivate General] ZioNicR:
Hi All,

Does anyone know where the nandroid backup is stored? I'd like to keep a copy on my ext sd card. Thanks for your help.
[Captivate General] MobileNick:
I believe it's under the /clockworkmod folder on your internal SD card.

Considering what happened with the Droid X and its encrypted/boobytrapped bootloader, i think that a development scene for motorola phones is just not worth it.
[General Topics] l<enny:
not worth it?

if a total newb like me can root, install a custom recovery, flash a new rom, and customize my phone to the max, i think the droid problems are not present in this phone. i am trying myself to learn to dev with android, but until i do, i would love to see a 2.1 (or maybe even 2.2 :D) rom for this phone. just because you aren't interested (or able) to develop for this phone, don't mean others won't. i love this site, and i have learned alot from the resources here, but it seems to me they are snubbing one of my current phones. every customization on my HD2 has come from (or i learned to do myself on) this site. even way back to my tmo wing i was learning stuff from this site. but if people feel my phone isnt good enough for this site, well, modmymobile is workin their collective rear ends off tryin to dev for this phone. i know i'm not the most active poster on this site, but thats because newbs are like children, seen and not heard, to some folks on here. well, this isn't the only dev site on the web, as sorry as i would be not to be able to use my first dev site.
[General Topics] tnt8902:
Yeah I was thinking the same. Tmobile offered me 3 phones to choose from sence they stop restocking the g1. Moto cliq, moto cliq xt, nokia nuron. That's not a really fair chance from the phone selection which the nokia sucks and the other phones are basicly the same. One has a hard keyboard and the other has a soft keyboard. Plus from what I heard you can't install apps like you can on the g1 because of the security measures. Modmyphone gave a lot of information, if the moto cliq xt picks up further I might end up getting it or wait for my 2 yr contract to finish and get full discount.
[General Topics] BrutalHoe:
Seriously I would love to c a cliq xt section, Im really disappointed that modmymoto only have like 3 devs working on XT, i spent way too much time here back when i had my g1. There r way too many good devs here who could do wonders w cliq xt.

After all, if cliq xt doesn't pick up on here after a while, section can just b taken down but don't deny cliq's abilities, i would kill to c a Hero sense or froyo tuning on it. I'd assume a good challenge would just attract more devs to work on xt.

Is there a way to make it so the screen turns on when I get a notification? The only thing that happens currently is a sound is played. I could have sworn when I first got it that the screen turned on as well. Any help would be great. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] q_hung:
I have a similar requirement and therefore would like to bring this issue up to seek for your help.

Whenever an SMS comes, there are a sound and a small icon of an envelop appearing at the top of the phone for about 1 ~ 2 seconds. If the phone is with me then I know there is an SMS. Other cases i.e. when I am outside and leave my phone in my room, I will not know that I have SMS on my phone until I open the message application (as there is no notification like missed call)!

Can anyone let me know how to set the SMS icon (the small yellow envelop) remaining on the notification bar until I open and read the SMS?

Thanks in advance.

After trying almost every way imaginable to update my PRI for a month, I finally seen a post of what Churchwin88 did and I did what they did and got the update in one try.

I will attempt to give the best instructions I can on how to update the PRI on your EVO since I know so many people have been trying for so long now.

Step 1

Boot into Recovery and Nandbackup your Evo.

Step 2

Follow this link and follow the posters instructions for installing recovery RA-evo-v1.8.0.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

Step 3

Follow this link and grab the zip for "HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed" and put it on your SD card.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743352

Step 4

Follow this link and grab the zip for "Fresh Evo 3.1.0.2" and put it on your SD card.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743079

Step 5

Boot into Recovery and flash the zip file from step 3. (HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed)

Step 6

Reboot system and when your Evo comes up and is finished loading, enter the dialer and put in ##786#. After it loads, choose MENU, then RESET, then enter your MSL number and accept the prompts to reset your Evo. Your Evo will power off and will start up in Recovery after it wipes the system. While in Recovery, follow the next step.

Step 7

Choose the menu for "Wipe"

Choose Wipe Cache and acknowledge it

Choose Wipe Delvik and acknowledge

Choose Wipe Cache again and acknowledge

Choose Wipe Delvik again and acknowledge

Step 8

Flash the "Fresh Evo 3.1.0.2" zip file from Step 4 and reboot system when it's complete.

Step 9

Wait 10 seconds after you see the "unlock screen" menu and then unlock it and let it contact the network and do it's thing.

When this is completed, you can check your settings and see if you have PRI 1.40_003 installed. Now you can boot back into Recovery and NandRestore your system that you backed up in Step 1.

I am confident that it will work for you if you follow the instructions exactly as it worked for me on the first try after trying to get this update for almost a month...

GOOD LUCK!

Haha, sounds pretty much like my post in the other PRI thread. If so, I'm glad it worked for you and hopefully for the others.
[EVO 4G Android Development] The_Infamous_One:
I'm willing to give this a shot, even though I have seen multiple threads like this in the past that consisted of mixed results. I'll report back in a while.

UPDATE: PRI Updated after 2ND ATTEMPT! I have tried numerous methods with a total of at least 60 unsuccessful updates, and I do have to say that I was pretty surprised to see the beautiful 1.40 PRI! I was hoping something was happening since it took a bit longer to activate and update the PRL. I'm glad to see the PRI stick when I NAND restored back! I definitely see a noticeably stronger signal as well! Thanks thisizaremix for posting this method as I hope others have as much luck as I finally have! =)
