Any chance the dalvik cache wipe function will ever get fixed/updated? I know, I know, I can use root explorer but it's inconvenient and often forget to do it before I've already rebooted into recovery.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Hboot? Are you sure you're using a Nexus S? I thought hboot was HTC that's all. If it is a HTC phone, probably isn't booting into it because of the different mount points or something, try a specific recovery for your phone.

Sorry, noob question......downloaded ns4g-4014 on my phone and it downloaded as a .txt file. Can I just rename it to .img and then flash through terminal?

[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Did the flash go through according to the command line read out? Try downloading and flashing again and do "fastboot devices" first to make sure the phone is communicating properly.

EDIT: re. Dalvik wipe in cwm recovery, it works. Wipe and check with adb afterwards. Just trying to prevent another 2 page discussion on this.
[Nexus S Android Development] j_r0dd:
This was mentioned a loooong time ago. Dalvik definitely gets wiped. I used it all the time w/o issues ever
[Nexus S Android Development] Cherokee007:
This recovery it is for T-mobile G1 too?
[Nexus S Android Development] ZeDestructor:
NO! You'll brick your phone flashing this recovery on the G1. The correct CWM for your G1 is in the G1 sub-forum.

Carebear

Any chance on a Carebear version, I recently saw someone with a Nexus S who had it. I liked it on my G1, would love to see it on my Nexus S

Thanks in advance!

I have stock recovery and I want to flash 4.0.1 image for 9023....any guide?...help!
[Nexus S Android Development] bringonblink:
quoting simms here

'su(press enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/3014cw.img(press enter)

reboot recovery(press enter)'

note you can rename it to whatever you want
[Nexus S Android Development] DJTaurus:
Isnt it another way to flash the image?...or a tutorial to get ADB working in my pc?
[Nexus S Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
Is your bootloader unlocked? (There will be a padlock under the Google logo when you boot up.)

2nd question: Are you rooted?
[Nexus S Android Development] DJTaurus:
Yeah i am rooted...i used the root way below

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138755

which gave me the folder below

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/823/unledsss.png/

Now after finishing root i still get recovery 3e despite i followed the root way with SuperUser 3.0->One Click Root for Nexus S - Clockwork 4.0.1.4 modded by j_r0dd(which i read is the proper for european nexus s 9023)

The thing is that while i was following the root tutorial (just following the cmd commands) i was doing the whole procedure with CWM 4.0.1...after root finished i only have recovery 3e (when i boot to recovery)

Most of my friends have managed to get CWM by flashing a custom rom which already has CWM.I dont want to flash a custom rom.I just want the CWM 4.0 for my 9023.....????????????????????????
[Nexus S Android Development] chiballer20:
I get the same thing. Downloads as txt file. ????
[Nexus S Android Development] DJTaurus:
I managed to flash CWM V4.0.1.4 :)....all this time i was flashing the wrong (SuperUser 3.0->One Click Root for Nexus S - Clockwork 4.0.1.4 modded by j_r0dd) CWM for my european NS.

So last question from the topic below....whats the difference Superuser 2.0 and 3.0?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138755

ps Guys why the hell rooting,flashing CWM is so dificult for NS compared to GS1/GS2 where you just use odin and everything runs smoothly...?
[Nexus S Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
This is what's different in superuser 3.
[Nexus S Android Development] Esteway.619:
This would be great. We had flashable recoveries on the epic and would work great. Just a thought. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
These are all flashable images. After you check the md5sum, rename it to *.img and flash like normal.
[Nexus S Android Development] frost866:
Hey guys Im new to this forum so sorry for my nob question.

How can I flash this to my phone?

it is .img file. so how can I do that?

thank you
[Nexus S Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
Flash Image GUI is probably the easiest way. (You'll have to rename it so the filename starts with recovery.)
[Nexus S Android Development] Esteway.619:
What I meant was in the epic forum we had then I a flashable zip format.
[Nexus S Android Development] benwizzi:
Flash Image GUI was acting screwy with me but using Terminal worked fine.

On another note, can you do a red version too please?

Great mod!!
[Nexus S Android Development] Esteway.619:
This worked for me thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] chiballer20:
Don't use Terminal that often, since i'm already rooted and flashing roms a regular basis. But I tried to install this new recovery and I opened Terminal, typed in 'SU' just like you're suppose to. And I get "Permission Denied"....

How is that possible, I have SuperUser running fine, Titanium Backup is good, BusyBox installed, Rom Manager works just normal....

Why don't I have SU Permissions in Terminal?? HELP PLEASE...
[Nexus S Android Development] fergie716:
Try going into Superuser app and see if terminal is granted SU permissions

CWM 5.0.0.0 Released. Flashed on my MIUI ROM. OTA Update is broken, I have contacted Koush about that.

Release page with all recoveries listed. Maybe you can put this in OP.

Latest 5.0.0.0: Download.

CWM 5.0.0.0 MD5 Checksum: 8547c4a426092b653ad626cacf7de20b

Flash in Bootloader:

fastboot reboot
[Nexus S Android Development] laslow:
Quick Backup and Restore is broken in 5.0.0.0 (file details still display even if the setting is enabled - toggling doesn't change anything, and .hideandroidprogress is still present in the /sdcard/clockworkmod directory).

Koush is working on it, though, and everything else works fine.
[Nexus S Android Development] droidance:
So all functions are working other than OTA updates right? I'm using CM7 nightly.
[Nexus S Android Development] brainmaster:
I can't tell for the CM7, but since CM7 doesn't have OTA, then it should be fine.

[Nexus S Android Development] fleischbanane:
I just get an update-info for 5.0.0.0. Works everything now? When will this recovery get the update?

Major changes:

Backups now use tar over yaffs for everything except mtd partitions. Backups got way faster.

Backups now preserve the filesystem type at time of backup. Restores will restore the appropriate filesystem type at restore.

boot to fastboot mode

open terminal in platform-tools

fastboot devices

another thing i have debating changing is the reversing a couple of the capacitive buttons for navigation in the recovery. i am thinking of switching the search and home button's function. just due to the layout of the buttons it makes more sense to me. any input would be appreciated

wahhh i use the orange one though!!! its softer on the eyes than cyan lol
[Nexus S Android Development] fergie716:
Id like that layout..
[Nexus S Android Development] droidance:
Thank you so much! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
Yes. Whatever phone he had when he added that apparently had the buttons in a different order. I will admit that the home button does resemble an up arrow, though.
[Nexus S Android Development] zyonee:
Call me conservative, but I've gotten quite used to the current layout, which is also compatible if for some reason I'd have to switch to stock CWM. So I'd probably feel confused with a new layout. But in fairness, I did get used to this one, so what's to stop me from getting used to another layout? Your call, we appreciate your work either way. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] j_r0dd:
i will just leave it how it is and just change it for myself lol. just thought i would ask

I've had this problem too.. not sure why though.

Sent from a Brainmasters MIUI powered NEXUS S!
[Nexus S Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
I don't know why, but I can tell you how.

The back button is disabled after looping from the bottom to the top of a menu 3 times. Do it 3 more times to reenable it - either go all the way down through a menu 3x, or go to the last item and hit down up down up down up.

Maybe it's to prevent accidentally rebooting at a bad time, like between flashing back to stock and reflashing superuser.
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
Anyone know where in the source code is the color of the font changed? Which file?
[Nexus S Android Development] reddv1:
It's in the file UI.c in the root folder. Search for cyan or orange to find the line in the file. The color are rgb format, the last value is always 255. All other colors except cyan are commented out. If you add a new color make sure the rest of the colors are commented out before compiling.

[Nexus S Android Development] fergie716:
Use Flash Image by joeykrim

Rename whatever recovery you have to recovery.img and then use the app.

Might not stick the first time, but it has always worked for me after the second so I would recommend using it twice

[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
read the first page...
[Nexus S Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
as much as people want to be lazy, I bet it takes far more keypresses to navigate to the right directory as you flash 20 billion different things, than to hit the down button 5 times to select "Yes" in a confirm screen.

Especially when you allow capacitive buttons to make choices too, it becomes ever more critical to have a good confirm screen.
[Nexus S Android Development] xsteven77x:
Agreed.
[Nexus S Android Development] fleischbanane:
If you don't want this way to install roms then don't use this but the stock one!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] TheSSJ:
Hi j_rodd,

sorry to change topic, but do you think you could add an option to delete a backup set using the recovery instead of doing this with a file explorer?

Would be a great help if "someone" forgot to delete some older backup sets and now is faced with the message that there is no space left on the SD..:D
[Nexus S Android Development] j_r0dd:
Implementing a file explorer into the recovery is something I have thought about doing ever since I started working on recoveries with the cliq. Honestly it is beyond my skill level of working with code. It's easier for me to just plug the phone into my PC and delete/move what I need to. I'm not sure how much more I'm gonna work on this anyways.
[Nexus S Android Development] TheSSJ:
Mh, it's not that I want a file explorer in the recovery...more like a menue with the current backups that are available (like in the restore/advanved restore menue where I can choose a backup set to be restored) and when I click on confirm that the recovery deletes the whole backup folder I wanted to remove from the SD...the function to list the backups already exists, it just needs another action instead of restoring the backup...

I hope I explained it a little better now :D

/Edit: Sorry, I just saw that it isn't that easy...I unpacked the recovery image and I was assuming that everything was written in normal shell scripts, but now I know better...I'll see in the source code of the recovery if I can do something...
[Nexus S Android Development] saryu:
hmm.. i'm sorry if this has been asked before..

i'm having flashing issues, i wipe everything, flash new ROM, when i reboot, i'm back to my old ROM.... it's not flashed properly..

edit : before this, i use 4.0.0.2 orange.. then i just flashed the latest cyan...
[Nexus S Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
Does it give you an error message?
[Nexus S Android Development] saryu:
maybe.. i didn't pay attention.... flashed ROM, reboot straightaway... failed 3 times.. revert back to 4.0.1.3
[Nexus S Android Development] zyonee:
Or you can try this one. It's the 5.0.2.7 version of j_r0dd's recovery mod, but with a few small addons by myself. If it doesn't work, you can still revert to 4.0.1.3 like you said.
[Nexus S Android Development] saryu:
allrite thanks.. will try...
[Nexus S Android Development] solesonfire:
How do I flash it tho? I'm a noob so bare with me
[Nexus S Android Development] kid1da:
Go into recovery and navigate to where you saved it and just flash it. To access recovery turn off your nexus. press volume up and power button. Than select recovery, to navigate in recovery use the volume rocker and to select options use the power button.

if the skies the limit, where's the urgency?
[Nexus S Android Development] phone_user:
Thanks for your convenient MOD. :) How about adding the function "rebooting after work (flashing, backup and restore...)"?
