[02 Nov][RECOVERY][NAND|SD][cLK|MAGLDR] ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 "YES/NO" STABLE

seadersn · Mar 20, 2011

good morning everybody!

@ layouts: yep, we really need two versions:
- one with small cache for chefs which are linking cache into the data partition and
- one with cache "as usual", sized ~ 44mb

sizing the system partitions adequate for everyone is not really possible, i believe. have a look @ DAF flasher versions, here the system partition in most cases is depending on filesize of the system image, there are much more variations available than for cLK.

@ silverwind: what exactly is your problem?

recovery doesn't boot, no matter if used via sdcard or nand? maybe i've made a mistake whilst cokmpiling it, please tell me more, as i didn't test the magldr versions due to no more using it. but i thought they should work as usual.

Top of the morning Seadersn. Question about rom manager. In the PRO version, when you can select to check for updates on a build. Is that just fir supported CM devices? Also why won't Cyanogen put our phone in the supported devices section? Our phone is as native as can be, except for getting OTA updates.

seadersn · Mar 20, 2011

yep, it is. but one can contact koushik dutta and request his rom to be in the update list. the rom chef needs to submit a java script file, which contains the necessary data such as rom name, server to check for downloads etc.
i believe charansinghs version for example will be available for us pro users soon

illuzi0n · Mar 20, 2011

dw will figure it out ..

seadersn · Mar 20, 2011

wowow... post this in cLK thread, pls; and a question: what happens if installed "the usual way" with "fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img" ...?
another question: which layout are you using?

I posted my question in this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12233670

I can boot into Recovery using AD Boot method. But if I use USB Flasher to flash Raider x Recovery, then I cant boot into Recovery (after flash), it always says ERROR cannot read kernel image

Please check the above link, i hope you can help

thanks in advance

seadersn · Mar 21, 2011

i've installed magldr for testing this out and unfortunately this is working with no problems

and i have no idea what could cause this at your side; i'll hop over to your thread and have a look at it. we will get this

Maybe, there is damage in my physicall NAND

Now, I go back to Winmo for several days and will retry and see if it works.

Thanks anyway

Please check the flash.cfg in the recovery folder that you are using. I have had the same problem and realised trawling thru the forums the problem was with the second line in flash.cfg file
misc ya 1M
recovery ya|ro 5M
boot ya|boot|ro 8M
system ya 140M
cache ya 30M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

Instead this line should read

recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img

changing this sorted the problem
hope this helps

hmmmm... Strange...
Here is what happened to me.

I flashed cLK 1.3.3. and then the CWM 3.0.1.9. Everything works fine even CWM menu shows cLK1.3.3. CWM 3.0.1.9.
I then flashed TyphooN's ROM and the Kernel provided in 3rd post and everything is working fine.
I tried to use ROM Manager to check how good it was working. Then i tried "Flash CWM Recovery" in ROM Manager menu. I was messing around and decided to download the CWM for ZTE-Blade which is 3.0.1.4. (for testing purpose and not because i am stupid

)

Now the strange part is first of all ROM Manager didn't recognise the version of CWM i am using, 2nd that it allowed me to flash a CWM recovery that is not for my device (but thats ROM Manager bug and Leo is not supported yet), and 3rd even though it booted in CWM the title was cLK 1.3.3. CWM 3.0.1.9 it was acting as CWM 3.0.1.4 (i just tested the charge feature and just keep rebooting after i shutdown)...
Also once i reflashed with fastboot the new CWM recovery 3.0.1.9. it were still acting as CWM 3.0.1.4.

I don't know it this is cLK or CWM bug but this is the right place to post it...

for first: rom manager doesn't seem to be able to see the real version installed, it only stores the info of the recovery which it installed itself.
for second: not a bug

if rom manager doesn't correctly recognize your system, it lets you choose a recovery; no matter if it's suitable, you can flash any version. if your device gets recognized, you have only one choice: your device

for third: acting like means? did you shut down your hd2 and (after waiting 5 seconds) then plugged your a/c adaptor in? then it will be charged, led = orange means charging, green = full, blinking = overcharge / -heat; this doesn't work in recovery itself.

and reboot to recovery isn't working? that's related to the correct combination of cache partition size, initrd.gz (mounting of cache; evtl. corrected through an init.d startup script) and kernel.

Stephen · Mar 21, 2011

I have jsut tried the charging in off line mode and also finding that it is not working. I have the euro 576mb version with magldr 1.13 and 3.0.1.9 installed. Did as you suggested powered off the phone, waited 5 seconds and plugged it into the mains. It started to charge but simply turned back on again.

seadersn · Mar 21, 2011

charging in offmode is cLK only

magldr doesn't offer this feature.

ok... That's nice to know that those are not actually bugs... so i guess it will be fine once ROM Manager supports HD2.

Well about the "acting"...
The CWM version i flashed from fastboot was the 3.0.1.9.
The CWM version i flashed from ROM Manager was the 3.0.1.4. (ZTE-Blade)
What happened is that even though i reflashed 3.0.1.9 (and thats what the CWM Title were saying) the telephone for some reason kept the 3.0.1.4. (I have only tested the charging while phone was off - waited about 10 sec and then once i plugged in the cable turned on by itself)

3.0.1.4. was working fine btw.

I checked it, and it is already correct (the green sentence above) as it should be (because I didnt do anything with the file since I downloaded from the original thread (Raider x)).

Thanks for your suggestion anyway

despy1989 · Mar 22, 2011
