[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
Hi All,

I need real help with ClockworkMod Recovery. I have been installing Android on HD2 using storage card (haret.exe) method. Then I moved to NAND without any problems.

But I am not able to understand ClockworkMod Recovery at all. I looked at lots of threads and also the main thread for ClockworkMod Recovery. I know how to install it. I have installed it on my phone. But for some reason I was stuck in the loop after installing the ROM {[22 JAN] -=MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 [A2SD+][GRH78C][RMNET][Kernel: MDJ S10.4 OC]}. I did exactly same as the video tutorial says. My radios and HSPL is fine. Coz I am able to use the same ROM in NAND mode. But still in ClockworkMod Recovery mode the phone kept restarting and never got to the main screen.

I also do not know what ext2, ext3, ext4 partitions are. Do I need to make them before installing the ROM? Also on the main thread for ClockworkMod Recovery, it has 3 partition files. 250MB, 350MB and 450MB. I do not know what that is. Which one to use for which ROM and what are the differences between them?

What is the use of ClockworkMod Recovery if I have to flash this partitions every time I install new ROM?

Also can someone tell me what backing up the ROM means? Does it mean I can back up my current one and flash new one, and if I do not like the new one I can restore the old one in the same state (with my APPS and SETTINGS)?

Please please help me with ClockworkMod Recovery fundamentals. I would really appreciate it.

One more thing, I would not post a question if I haven't looked around enough for answers. As you can see I have been doing this from months, but only asked one question before and this is the second one. So please do not take me for someone who does not look around for answers. I do, its just that I did not find anything real good to explain me from the bottom. So please someone help me out.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Digital Outcast:
EXT partitions can be thought of as extended partitions on your SD card. They are used to "extend" your storage capacity. Some ROMS place some of the ROM files on the SD-EXT partition. This is done particularly for the EU HD2 where it has only half the storage on-board that the TMOUS HD2 does. If you are using a ROM that requires one you do have to create the partitions before installing/flashing the ROM.

The three different flash.cfg files on the CWM thread are files used to instruct DFT how to re-partition your on-board storage (NAND). There are several partitions, up to 16 at the moment. Some ROM's use 4 partitions, some use 6 or more. Typically, non-CWM ROM's use only 4 partitions (boot, system, data, cache), whereas CWM ROM's use those same ones as well as a miscellaneous and recovery partition.

The main reason for the different files is that some ROM's use more space for the system partition. The different flash.cfg files just simply allocate more or less space to the system partition.

You don't technically have to flash new partitions every time you flash a new ROM. As long as you know how to modify the ROM to work with your current partition setup it will work. Or, get ROM's that use the same type of partition layouts. Since the release of CWM, more ROM's are becoming available for installation via the ZIP deployment method in CWM, which means they ALL use the same partition (with exception of the system partition size) setup.

If you have a TMOUS HD2 with plenty of onboard storage it's easier to just create a larger system partition and never have to worry about repartitioning. That's what I did. I have a 450 MB system partition and every time I deploy a new CWM ZIP ROM I don't have to repartition anything.

You nailed it on the head about backing up via CWM. It backs up all your partitions (boot, system, cache, sd-ext, data, etc) and saves them to your SD card. That way you can flash a new ROM or do a hard reset. Then later if you want you can do a full restore and be exactly where you left off before doing so. That is, if you flash a ROM that has the same partition layout. If you flash a ROM with a different partition layout, the restore may or may not work until you repartition the same as the original ROM was when you flashed it.

The only issue with all this is that since there isn't a set standard yet for ROM's and their partition layouts any ROM chef can define their own partition scheme which can make for a hassle when trying different ROM's. I expect that at some point there will be a standard set of partitions that will be used between all different chefs to make things easier. CWM ROM deployments and updates are definitely the future of this and how all native Android devices are handled. I imagine that will become the case down the road for the HD2 as well.

Hopefully that clears it up for you a bit. Sorry about writing a novel...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
Amazing explanation. Thanks a lottt man. Just one more question, I have TMOUS HD2 abd I did the same thing as you said. 450MB of partition. And then tried to install the MDJ's CM7 ROM. I got the message saying the ROM is successfully installed. and then I rebooted my phone. But it kept rebooting itself. Any particular reason you know of?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Digital Outcast:
Is this using the 400 MB flash.cfg file from the CWM thread? The reason I ask is that I checked that flash.cfg file and the boot partition is flagged as the bootable partition. I'm not familiar with the CM7 ROM from MDJ, but is it set to deploy via CWM with a boot folder in the ZIP file?

Also, have you run logcat (if you're familiar with that) while the issue is happening to see what is going on?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
To be very frank I did not understand what you just told me sir. Only thing I can tell for sure is I downloaded the .zip file from the thread at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877777 . And I do not know what logcat is. I am sure you must be thinking that I am an idiot. Forgive me for my ignorance.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
Thanks a lott Digital Outcast for this amazing explanation. I hope I can get the Recovery mode working. I will try some different roms and see what can be done. meanwhile if you get chance please explain me your response "Is this using the 400 MB flash.cfg file from the CWM thread?

[Streak 5 General] drakxtwo:
Just thought i'd post a story ....

Many sleeps ago my streak went in for repair, alas i thought weeks would pass but lo and behold a call was received by two tin cans and string that the streak was ready. All a jitter i clocked off work early, rushed .. well once out of traffic (ie on foot) i rushed to the shop, no! it was not repaired but NEW. Brand new, not just the unit but the box, contents everything.

Considering myself lucky and tweeting thanks to o2 i got home prepared it for flashing, carefully reading the instructions for dj steve's 1.6.1 i began the process.

Flash recovery - check

Flash baseband - check

Flash dsp - er no, distracted by the sight of my young voluptuous wifey i flashed dsp1.mbn to dsp .......

As you might think this is not a good nor healthy idea ... PANIC .... oh no new streak is dead streak, bricked. Feeling somewhat er "small" i began to research eventually realising the light at the end of my self inflicted tunnel was the QDL tool. What i had not counted on nor did i for the next 2hrs was the insane difficulty of installing and using the tool in 64bit windows. Would it install?, even following videos etc hell no.

Fortunately being a geeky (if inept) engineer i have three or four laptops with various OS's for linux, windows etc so winxp it is, QDL tool installed, streak connected, flashed and yeah we have life!! I felt like Dr Frankenstein ... It's alive!!!!

Next onto 1.6.1 ... wrote the cfg file er no the text file, stuck it in the root of the sd card and away we went. Except it didnt go, each time i installed 1.6.1 it either hung on the streak droid logo or cycled through the EPA boot routine. After six flashes or 1.5.1 (working) and 1.6.1 (not working) confused old me searched XDA and found that someone else was confused about the install file.

Finally after 6hrs from receipt of new phone i copied the install.txt to install.cfg and kept both in the root dir and also put both in the android\streakdroid folder and reflashed.

This time i have a working streak on 1.6.1 with scores of 1850 and am now a happy little chap (thanks steve) my only issues now are i chose a resolution of 200 and now want smaller plus the bottom status bar i cant see (transparency?) but i am not flashing again! well till next week.

Moral: flash your phone in peace and quiet

Moral: Use winxp or another 32bit OS

Moral: Don't give up, research

Moral: Buy a big coffee pot or a case of stella just in case things go wrong.

Apologies for the length of post, its rambling nature but after last night, three hours sleep and the highs & lows i felt the need to share.

Cheers,

Lee

If you want to change the LCD density, there's an app on the market, or edit the LCD density line in system/build.prop. download. Root explorer. Or earrings file explorer( enable Root settings in options). Really easy, no flashing required, just a reboot after you've done it.
[Streak 5 General] drakxtwo:
Excellent, will investigate 2 moro. Thanks for advice :)

One of the app for density is call LCD Density, it works like a champ.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxothuk_uae:
don't know why - but my phone still rootedm, even after 2.3.2 update

Any idea how come?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
By "still rooted" do you mean you still have the superuser.apk or can you actually still boot into CWM? Because an OTA will not delete those apps but it WILL break root.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
The update doesn't wipe the phone at all, it only patches certain files in the /system partition, so it doesn't actually delete the su binary in /system/bin or the superuser.apk in /data/apps.

The update script does, however, do a recursive chmod of the permission on /system/bin, and that broke root on my phone. Even though the files were still there, and some apps thought that I was still rooted, many root things (like Titanium and Root Explorer's ability to mount /system as R/W) wouldn't work.

I've seen some reports that root stuck, but I'd advise flashing the su update again...it's quick and easy to do with CWM, and it will fix the permissions to make sure none of your apps have any issues.

Are you sure the update actually occurred? Your android version and build number have changed?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxothuk_uae:
so, now i have

Android version - 2.3.2

Kernel - 2.6.35.7-g7f1638a

Build number - GRH78C

if start titanium backup - can see that superuser permission granted

Market access working perfectly - i hav an acces for paid apps

Can grab screen with ShootMe

dont remember how did i root - seems i just run some script on ubuntu notebook

Thanks for everybody for replies
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yes, going into CWR can easily update the permissions recursively
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxothuk_uae:
not sure but probably i am on superboot loader (not SWR)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
being rooted does not stop OTA updates, it never has. being on a ROM other than stock is when you cant get the updates. if i root, and leave on the stock ROM, the update should come thru jsut fine. at least that was my understanding.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
He's saying that he thought the OTA would unroot him, not that being rooted would keep him from OTAing.

Funny how the update seems to impact the root of people differently. It definitely broke mine, even though it didn't erase the files.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Oh oops my bad I mis read! :-)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagech:

No Update

Hello,

I tried to update my phone but I am now looking since 10 minutes at the little Android and nothing happens.

There was a short message where the Clockworkrecovery said something like it could not verfy the update file.

Should I just put out the battery and try to reboot?

Edit:

The Clockwork recovery came up again and I selected to reboot the phone. Now it's still running on 2.3.1.

What have I done wrong?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronk93:
Is it the little android and a triangle with a ! inside it? That happened to me also and I found out that if u change any system files like patching the 3d gallery apk or in my case I deleted the genie widget apk, it will cause ota's not to take.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srichter:
Yes, exactly!

So is the solution maybe to wait till the 2.3.2 version is available at the ROM Manager?

I m trying to use SetCpu For root users so that i cud underclock it when the screen is locked..However when i provide it root access it underclocks the phone to 584Mhz and there is no way to manually enter the 600MHz frequency (through keyboard) there is just a slider that goes to a max of 584 MHz..When it asks me to select the device i select the first option (G1, MSM7k series) ..HElp i really want to make my battery last longer...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bioan:
Underclocking it won't give you battery boost as long as you have the same voltage.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sarfaraz1989:
thats wat i was thinkin but all over the internet there's this misconception that underclock saves battery ...underclocking can make cpu run cooler though generating less heat i believe...This phone (p500) heats up real quick..

[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
Try reflashing the kernel, then reinstall SetCPU (make sure you clear the data in the manage applications thing)

EDIT: You don't have to. Open SetCPU --> [menu key] --> device selection --> autodetect speeds.

SETcPU settings [Optimus One]

Setcpu definitely helps increase your battery life...

My optimus one battery life has increased x2 times

Here are my settings:

Maximum : 600mhz

Minimum : 128mhz

On screen off : Max :128 and Minimum 128; Scaling : Powersave.

On battery 20% : Minimum :128 Max :480

That's it!!

Hi,

I just got my new samsung vibrant t-mobile, and I am a newbie in the Android area.

If I do a official upgrade to 2.2 froyo via Kies, can I unlock it with the same popular methods found here with the: Generate Unlock Windows.zip

Does anyone know if official 2.2 would relock a sim-unlocked Vibrant?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrSparkey:
No the new 2.2 update from T-mo will not lock your phone again, it will un-root the phone. Use superoneclick to root again agter update to 2.2
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captirwin:
I have an unlocked Samsung Vibrant.

When I tried to upgrade to 2.2, it would start, and then give me an error message instructing me to remove and replace the battery and trying again. I tried 3 times, unsuccessfully, to upgrade.

I believe the phone has to be locked before it will be able to be upgraded to 2.2. This is just my opinion. I would like someone more knowledgeable then me to respond.

Thanks.

Here is the first one it is their Canvas App: http://vegantab.gojimi.com/download/Canvas.apk

Here is app number 2 it is their Calculator App: http://vegantab.gojimi.com/download/Calculator.apk

Clicking on switch to normal calculator will crash the app.... for now.

**************BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS AS IT WILL REPLACE THE STOCK BROWSER*************

Here is their stock Browser App: http://vegantab.gojimi.com/download/Browser.apk
