clockworkmod issue

helllo i have a samsung galaxy s. i downloaded CWM and used it before and it ran fine did a backup. then i decided to do a full factory reset of the phone including formatting the SD card. the phone is still rooted.
anyway with a clean phone i reinstalled CWM premium and try and backup my rom to get a clean backup done as i want to be able to go back to the original rom supplied by my carrier (optus) once i have played with froyo.
now the issue is the phone reboots and then the following errors happen
--Install from package--
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Cant open /cache/update/zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
does anyone know what to do, i have tried to do all the things as requested by CWM when i reboot, ie recovery mode is broken.
have enabled erase recovery = cant find this option
clearing the download cache =done no change
i reinstalled the program and have hard reset it again too.

Hi
if i understood correctly you formatted the internal memory of your phone. Well if thats the case, then unfortunately you deleted the ROM backup that you made on the internal memory (unless before formatting you copied the folder /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ (the rom back up folder) to your Computer) and also you deleted the clockwork recovery file. So now you need to install CWM from the scratch. and get yourself a stock (optus) rom backed up by someone the same method. i remember i have seen it somewhere here in the forum just search for it.
good luck

sorry what i mean is that i reset my phone to the factory default to get a backup of the stock optus firmware. and am having issues doing this backup. as it wont boot into recovery properly.

ok fixed it... not sure why as this does not make sense. but i went back to the internal sd card memory backup i had done and copied the recovery-update.zip and download folders back to the phone... went into CWM and then tried to do another backup and it works... maybe a bug during re-installation???

Well, glad to hear your problem is solved.
cheers

Problem flashing rom: stops at boot animation

I tried a long various way, no success and now i can't use my loved nexus.
Everything was working very fine till i used my nexus' sd to flash a rom in a friend's nexus ( his was not working): here started the problem.
After re-putting on my sd on my n1, i lost all data, settings, no apps, no market, no adw..
-Tried to reflash the rom(kang 1.3 which was working perfectly till before): still no market, no adw, stock look, no apps (included in the rom)
-Tried to wipe all data/factory reset, reflash the rom: still no market, no adw, stock look, no apps (included in the rom)
Then i reached to install the 2.3.6 stock rom, which was working: i rooted it with superoneclick, installed rom manager
First i tried to backup with clockwork recovery but it stopped on backing up sd/ext: i had to remove battery and reboot, install ra recovery to have a success in backing up ( in recovery's opinion).
At this point i tried to reflash the rom, but i got stuck on the starting animation which is in loop..
I tried to nandroid restore from ra recovery but it said "Oooops something went wrong"
don't know how to solve, can you please help me? i can't use the phone! (recovery seems to work, have drivers correctly installed)

Ok my guess it's your SD card that has a problem so try making a full wipe (erase on) of your SD card and see what happens.

I'm re-flashing the passimg of stock 2.3.6 which yesterday was working.
again i noticed some problems on boot animation, but it moved on and it seems to works..
should i partition again my sd? Because it works on my pc ( in this way i put into the sd the passimg.zip, so it shouldn't be broken) and i guess maybe it's because of that..

A re partition would be a good idea.
When my sd-ext got corrupt the fat32 portion was fine but ext portion was busted

repartioned sd, still get the problem wtf..
http://pastebin.com/igvgPHSN here is the boot log, hope this'll help you..
thanks!!

I would format card outside phone with sdformatter--I use v2.0? Full Erase and Size Adj ON. Then repartition and swap is 0.

i first tried this:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/38/problems2.png/
and then this:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/23/problems3a.png/
but it didn't solve the problem.
Then i did a full wipe and it worked, i reached to install the rom, BUT missing some pre-installed apps (like adw, facebook, android stock keyboard etc., but with market, gapps et.)
i put this apps on my own and now it's working, but still miss something like the link to "power off", "reboot" , "recovery" etc.
what is going on?

I think I screwed my phone :(

I downloaded the HydracoreNirvana kernel and installed it through CWM.
Later I thought of installing the Ultimate N7000 XXLSZ JellyBean 4.1.2 v5.2 ROM but I read somewhere that the HydraCoreNirvana kernel was not supported so I download SpeedMod K5-1 and flashed it through odin. The phone Rebooted but it didn't restart. It only showed the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen and won't turn on.
I managed to boot into recovery and install the SpeedMod kernel and then, as stated in the ROM's OP, I flashed it checking every step as I took.
ROM was installed successfully but after the Language selection screen it shows "Samsung SetupWizard has stopped". I tried reflashing the ROM but its still the same error.
How do I get past this??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

boot into recovery... mounts and storage> format - system, data, cache and preload and install the rom again

Okayy. That worked. Thanks a lot!
But the phone is lagging a lot now. Its even worse than before (And I haven't even installed any apps myself yet!). Any way to correct that problem?

install Titanium Backup and remove some of the apps that you dont use.. clear some space and it should become smooth.. also as you have just installed the rom, wait for media scanner to finish... give it a couple of hours

Okay.. One last question, I backed up my Messages and Call Logs through Titanium Backup to an .xml file but now when I want to restore it it doesn't give me the option to select from card/phone. It only shows "DB text editor" and "Dropbox". How do I fix this?

check if your internal and ext SD is detected properly. also check in TB preferences for the location of the backup folder

Yes, the Ext. card and the SD card are detected properly. I copied the backed up .xml files to the existing back up folder for TB but it still doesn't give me the option to restore from the card.

did you try going to preferences>backup folder location> detect

It says "No backup location was found" even though I've set a backup location!

may be try reinstalling TB

Phone Frozen after flash

I was using CM10.1 RC1 by bieltv.3. After he updated the the rom to RC2 I flashed it today after taking a back up.
I then restored the apps I used to have on my SD card, rebooted and moved to SD. Then I restored the remaining apps (twitter, swiftkey etc). The phone froze when i tried to set un check the notification for swiftkey. I waited for sometime and removed the battery.
On restart it loaded until my lock screen. I was waiting for dash clock to load but it didn't only to find out my phone had frozen again. Tried this twice without any success. So i reflashed the ROM after wiping cache/ data/ system/ dalvik cache. It now got stuck on the screen where i select the language.
I then decided to restore the backup taken from CWM 5.2.0.6. While restoring .android_secure it failed.
When i tried to wipe data it got stuck while wiping .android_secure.
Then I reflashed CWM and then wiped again. This time the wipe worked.
Then i tried flashing the RC1 that I had been running all this time. It too got stuck on the language selection screen.
Wiped everything again and now I'm trying to restore the CM10.1 Backup again. Currenly it's been waiting on restoring .android_secure for the last 15 mins. Not really sure what to do.
I'm currently out of ideas. Need help
Update: I tried to do an advanced restore and only restored the boot and system but it still gets stuck and then reboots/ or just stays stuck. it does unfreeze for a few seconds some times but then freezes again :/
after I wipe the dalvik cache if i select show log i get
failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (no such file or directory)
...
...
...
....
After reading about it I have come to the conclusion that my Internal SD partition is corrupt / damage since I can't mount SD-EXT
Am I correct?

Did you try to fash a Stock via Odin, then flash root + cwn 5.0.2.6. fix and finally flash CM10.1 again and restore your back up?
I think your partitions are corrupted... Were you using sd-ext scripts? as int2ext? wel try with the first method

I wasn't using any scripts.
I used odin and flashed the stock rom. Phone starts up goes to unlock screen and all looks fine. after about 1 min the phone starts to lag very very badly until it stops responding and then shuts down completely.
Didn't root or flash cwm still.

Maybe the files got corrupted somehow. Try downloading the ROM again and use another SD card.
That might fix it.
Good luck.

I forgot to mention i did wipe data and cache after flashing via odin. So that didn't help
Edit- ok I noticed my sd card wasn't being detected so I removed it and rebooted and everything seems to be fine :/
Can a faulty sd card slow down/ make your phone become unresponsive?

Final Update:
The whole thing was caused by my SD card. I should have checked how the phone responds to with the SD card removed.
I'm suspecting it must have happened while using Titanium backup. Good thing I managed to get most of the titanium back up files copied to my PC so I can restore them later.
Things I overlooked: the phone only locked up a few seconds after it starts (i.e. gets to the lock screen). That's when the phone detects the SD card.
I need to figure out how to format the card now since I don't have another method to connect to the PC and the phone isn't detecting the card.
Thanks for all the help.

Is it detecting the card in CWM? If so, you could format it that way.
I got a miniSD card adapter with my phone? Did you not?

so your Sd card was corrupted, use a micro sd reader

Managed to format the SD by mounting USB using CWM.
CWM refused to format saying the card was read only. but the pc did a quick format

[Q] Boot loop - Still possible to backup internal sd?

Hi guys!
Here's my situation:
- P990, tonyp's PA 2.6 v.13, old bootloader, Kowalski kernel exp. version 12x
- Phone started boot looping (no obvious cause)
- Tried deleting cache. Didn't help.
- Tried flashing the same ROM from external SD. Didn't help.
- Tried restoring working backup (boot and system only, not complete restore) from CWM. Didn't help.
So then I guess I have to do a complete factory reset, but that means I'll lose everything on my internal SD card, right? I want to make a copy first so that I can keep my files. My nandroid backups are only 2.x GB, so I guess they don't include everything on the internal SD card.
I tried to connect the phone to my laptop, but nothing happened, so I deleted/reinstalled drivers from the LG website. That didn't work, but then I found this post which got me a little further. It said the installation was successful, but when I was in CWM, the disks (int. and ext. SD) wasn't being recognized. When I rebooted recovery (from CWM) or just rebooted the device, the computer recognized the discs and started installing four drivers, but as the phone either gets into CWM or just boot loops, it seems like Windows isn't able to finalize the installation of the drivers. This results in the SD cards not being functional in Windows. I can't even see disk labels or storage used/available.
Does someone have an idea of how I might be able to access the internal SD from Windows? Either by fixing the driver issue, or some other method?
I guess I have to fix this USB issue to be able to try to use adb pull to get all the stuff off the internal memory as well, right? Or is the connection between phone and computer not required to be "complete" to be able to do that? I do not remember for sure, but I believe I had turned on USB debugging before all this mess started. However, I have never used adb before.
I'm massively thankful for any help!

I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1.
Yes, I tried wiping dalvik cache as well, but that didn't fix it either.
Are there some other ways of getting out of the bootloop? I don't mind flashing stock rom or whatever else, as long as I can recover my internal SD.

Download AIO-toolkit from the developement forum. Install itt, and install nvflash drivers with it.
At the main screen select option 2, and then select option 2 again. Follow teh instructions on the screen, and select TWRP 2.5.0.0 to be installed, or cwm 5.0.2.8, both have working mass storage.
(6.0.3.1 has broken massstorage and adb interface. I think you installed cwm 6.0.3.1 through rom manager, if it that true you are on old bootloader.)

Aha, that explains it!
I installed CWM 5.0.2.8 and I got a little further than before. When I mount USB storage in CWM, my external SD card shows up on my computer, but not my internal SD card. What can be the reason for this? Could the card be corrupted, or are there other ways of getting the internal SD to appear?
I tried mounting everything I could mount from the Mounts and storage menu in CWM, but the external SD was still the only thing that showed up on my laptop.
Thank you so much for helping with this!

Do a factory reset with a working cwm. You will lose all your installed apps and their data, but it will keep data on internal sdcard. After the factory reset you can boot up into andorid

YES! I thought factory reset would delete the internal SD, so I didn't even consider that, but it worked like a charm! Thank you so much for caring and helping! You just made my week! :highfive:
