Is it possible to format the internal storage with this recovery? I have this installed but last I tried it did not format :/
It seems that my data.img has reached the 4GB file size limit for FAT32. It is now 0KB every time I do a nandroid backup. Obviously, I can reduce my apps to work-around this. How are others working around this? It would be cool if this recovery could create rolling files when it reaches the 4GB size (ie. data.001, data.002, etc). With 64 GB of space it is unfortunate to be held to a 4GB limit.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hello, since my Xoom has been updated to ICS, clockworkmod now crashes ...
When I launch it, I see the android robot down with a red "!" on it ...
I tried to reload clockworkmod into my Xoom but it didn't solve the problem.
Does anyone know what may be my problem ?
EDIT : I finally installed eos-recovery-r6.img, this one works with my xoom running ICS.

error: device not found
I have rooted the Xoom 3G.
I have fastboot installed (I believe...how can I tell?)
I am trying very hard to load the CWM recovery img file only. I have typed in my command window on my win7 pc adb reboot bootloader a zillion times. It ALWAYS comes back with: error: device not found".
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the adb drivers 4 times.
I Am getting highly frustrated.
This is a gift for my girlfriend and I was hoping to give it to her with a ROM installed.

more recent CWM-recovery needed ?
Hi,
I have been using this recovery for a while now, but now that CM9 became RC1 I wanted to give it a try.
In the official manual over at CM-wiki it says one should install amore recent version of CWM-recovery: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Motorola_Xoom_(Wi-Fi):_Full_Update_Guide
So the questions are:
a) is this really needed ? Or what could be the issues when using this one here ?
b) If I understand this correct the changes made in this recovery - not to backup contents of "/data/media" (="/mnt/sdcard") are not in the official and most recent version of the CMW-Recovery, right ? .. so If I don´t want to backup stuff I have there (e.g. movies, music, ...) everytime I am backup up the ROM I´ll have to move it away first ?
Thx
EDIT: I just wanted to play and check with the most recent recovery from clockworkmod site and found it does not work at all (can´t access sdcard) - and found that confirmed in a few threads in different forums. I just wonder why CM and CWM are refering to this version then ? Anyway I´ll go back to this version here again.

If you let it fully reboot the stock image will overwrite the recovery while it is booting. You need to make sure that after you flash recovery with fastboot and reboot, you get into recovery before the rest of the OS loads. If you aren't letting the OS boot, then not really sure what's going on.
That was my point, if you allow the OS to boot, it will overwrite with the stock image. You need to catch it before it fully reboots after flashing otherwise you have to do it again.
how do I get it into recovery before the rest of the OS loads? I have tried to press the volume down and it gets to the page where it says fastboot...
then what else do I need to do?
thanks
ok got it... need to press the volume down immediately to get to the recovery....

You need to count to 5 when the red logo pops up then hit the down button to get to the recovery choice.
Unable to mount
Hey this has probly been covered but did not see it. I have a root wifi only xoom. I flashed the Jelly bean build 137, then I updated clockworkmod from 4.0.0.4 to 5.8.3.1 and now I am unable to see or mount the internal card or view updates on my SD card. Any help is much appreciated.

ClockworkMod Recovery - Modified for Motorola Xoom
OK, so this recovery will skip /data/media (Internal storage) when performing nandroid backups and also when you perform a factory reset.
This means that we can now perform nandroid backups without backing up our internal media and removing it everytime you want to do a backup.
Thanks to Bigrushdog and MadIndustries for helping out with the concept of the solution for skipping /data/media.
Also thanks to Koush and all the other developers that have contributed to clockworkmod, without you guys the android world would be completely different.
Thanks also to everyone in #xoom that tested this.
The source code for all changes etc are available through the github repository. The two other projects that have been modified to make this recovery possible can also be viewed through my github account.
Even though this recovery has been tested, I am not liable for any loss of data or any damages done by this recovery.
==============================================
General Notes
When I refer to /data/media, this is the same as /sdcard when the xoom is booted into honeycomb. So any data that is stored in here should be untouched by this recovery.
If you encounter a problem with the filesystem on /data like it has become corrupt, place a blank file called "eraseData" (without the quotes) in the clockworkmod folder on your external sdcard. This will revert to the old way of formatting /data. NOTE: by doing this you will lose everything that you have in /data/media.
Versioning of recovery images:
At the moment I don't have a version number as such, instead each recovery image is timestamped in the format of DDMMYY-HHYY. So the file recovery-solarnz-120511-2030.img was produced on 12 May 2011 at 8:30 PM. This versioning is also shown in recovery when it starts.
==============================================
Downloads
SLOW DOWN AND RELAX
Make sure you download the correct version depending on how you want to flash. I have seen at least two xooms bricked now because they have tried to flash the zip file through fastboot.
Recovery Zip (solarnz-R4c-100611-1150) FLASHED THROUGH CWM

Also, you can grab Rom Manager or QuickBoot from the market for easy access to recovery.

This worked for me. Flash new recovery. Reboot and while the screen is black hold the power up and power down. Took me a couple of tries to get my fat fingers on the keys just right.
thanks to solarnz and BWcorvus for the help2
Ok, I'm assuming you are on android 3.1 without a modified kernel.
The issue you are having is that with the default boot image, it flashes back the stock recovery every single time you reboot.
(Thanks Berzerker7)Code:adb shell rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Ok. on our xooms, /sdcard is actually a symlink (think of a shortcut) to /data/media.
So when I say /data/media, you can think of /sdcard (the internal storage).2
No, not the same. This is just a delete command and not the same as a wipe since it will erase everything in /sdcard and below that only.2
Flash http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13093938/recovery-solarnz-120511-2030.img through fastboot to the recovery partition. See if that helps.
If not, please come find us in #xoom on freenode.net.
