Vibrant stuck at recovery - Vibrant General

Hey
i tried to install the axura 2.1 but i got an error failure at line 13 copy_dir package data data. i have the voodoo kernel but i dissabled it by creating 'disable_lagfix' folder in the voodoo folder.
now my phone can only go to stock and clockwork recovery.
i tried putting a new kernel and rom on the external sd but i dont see it when in clockwork recovery

I didn't think you could flash anything from the external memory card, only the internal one. Why don't use just Odin back to stock 2.1 ?

Please Help - Phone showing 0.00 Storage Space

ok so here is my problem...
My phone i showing 0.00B of storage space, same issue as other posters. However, something corrupted my SD card so I have no CWM and no CWM recovery or backup. What I have done so far...I have flashed the stock ROM and Kernal via Odin. My phone will power on and I can use it like normal, however, I have 0.00B of space and cannot download or install anything. I have restored root and am unsure of where to go from here since I can't just download CWM via the market and go from there. Can anyone please help me? Also, this is my first time rooting etc, so I am not familiar with every acronym and process, if someone could just take the time and write out in simple terms what I need to do to get my phone back to normal I would truly.....truly appreciate it, thanks in advance to anyone who will try and help.

I hope someone can help you out, but I hope this also serves notice for others who are first time rooters. If you aren't sure what to do, either don't do it, or get some help before possibly ruining your phone.
Well...you couldn't have predicted your sd card failing. Do you have another? Head over to cyanogen mod forum and see if you can get the apk on to another sd card.

i do have asnother SD card. I am re-rooted and noty sure of where to go from here. If someone could help me out from here I'd be very grateful.
Sounds to me like you had a voodoo kernel installed and then installed a stock kernel, without the voodoo properly uninstalling. If this is the case, I would try the following:
Get the CWM update.zip and put on your sd card.
Put the old voodoo kernel that you had on your sd card.
Boot into recovery and run the update.zip, putting you into CWM recovery.
Reinstall the old voodoo kernel.
Reboot, if everything works and you can download apps again you will need to completely uninstall the voodoo kernel. Follow the instructions posted in this forum to completely uninstall the voodoo kernel. You can find these instructions in this thread.
Make sure you use the manual install, I did not have any luck with the zip file uninstall. Also make sure you do the final step and wipe the data.
Once these steps are completed, you should have your original kernel installed with voodoo gone completely, and you should have your disk space back.
If this is not what happened, then I am sorry I am not sure what to try. I know that these are the same symptoms that I had and this is what fixed mine.
Good luck.
selem thanks a lot...but problem is, I do not have CWM, and I cannot download it becuase I have no space on my phone. Also, I do not have the Voodoo Kernel saved to my SD card because I have noything on my sd card, that's the problem. Without anything on my sd card and without an internal memory to download anything how can I return to stock?

Can you take your new sd card, go into recovery, and format the SDcard by any chance? Can you do this with your old one?
When you have a clean, fully functional SDCard, can you flash CWM then?

when i try to boot into recovery mode I get this message
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (invalid argument)
I cannot flash CWM if I can't download the app. Since I have no space on my phone it's not allowing me to download or install anything, and without and existing version of Rom Manager on my SD card I dont know how I will be able to boot into CWM recovery.
I'm not sure I'm following this.. Your SD card does, or does not work?
If you flash the Voodoo kernel back you should get to the point where you can then download whatever you need since that should solve your zero free space problem. You can flash the Voodoo kernel via Odin. Just download the Voodoo kernel you want, open up the zip file, and find zImage. Extract that. You might have to put it into .tar format to flash, or Odin might just accept a plain zImage file. I'm not sure. Always use "PDA" when flashing with Odin, never ever ever ever ever ever ever use the "phone" box. Always PDA.
Assuming you have a working SD card, recovering from this should be pretty straightforward.
The key here is you obviously need to extract the zImage file (which is the actual kernel) to flash via Odin. This removes the need for ROM Manager, or any access to the GUI.

Like I mentioned above, use Odin. If you want CWM recovery, flash CWM kernel via Odin. Then you just need to put the CWM update.zip on your SD card. Boot into recovery, apply update.zip.
Here is update.zip (the CWM version).

namebrandon, thanks for your instructions. I do have a functioning sd card now, I got a new one. THis is one blank though, so no information what so ever on it. If I understand correctly, I can install the Voodoo kernal via ODIN using the "PDA" option....and that's it?? (Of course using the steps you mentioned about extracting etc)

That will get you a functional CWM recovery. You'll still see that error in stock recovery since your mbr is still set for Voodoo.
If you want to apply Voodoo back, and try to correctly uninstall it, you'll need to flash this (Voodoo zImage). I've extracted just the zImage form Dirrk's SV_1100 Voodoo kernel.
You'll need to flash it, it might do the conversion, then once you've booted into the OS, you'll need to create the disable_lagfix file. How to do that is in one of the "How to Uninstall Voodoo" threads.
file attached.. you need to remove the .zip extension.. it should just be .tar , but xda doesn't allow .tar files.

ahh thanks a lot. So I can either install the CWM Recovery update.zip onto my sd card and then just apply update.zip and return to stock completely
-OR-
flash the Voodoo Kernal via odin and my 0.00B problem will go away and I will continue to have the Voodoo Kernal? Sorry if these are dumb questions

100% correct. Going back to stock takes an extra few steps after CWM, so I suggest trying Voodoo first. The problem with 0.00 free space is that your mbr is still set for Voodoo. It didn't get put back to stock, so ideally you flash voodoo, then uninstall, and the uninstall sets your mbr back to stock.
CWM is for other troubleshooting, if you need it. I'm not going to be around for a bit, but it sounds like this should get you to a point where you can recover from. I highly recommend joining the irc channel and having someone walk you through it step by step.

ok let's see if I got this....if I flash this .tar file you have attached for me via Odin, I can reboot into the OS and use my phone with Voodoo running on it and my 0.00B problem will go away?

namebrandon...still need help. I have downloaded the Voodoo Kernal I want to use and have it saved on my desktop. Can I install that using Odin? Also, I have downloaded the CWM update zip and I know you said place it on my SD card but where? I placed it on my SD card but not in a particular folder and rebooted into recovery and tried to install update.zip but that did not work. I have the voodoo kernal downloaded, I have the update.zip downloaded...I don't know where to go from here.

@ Namebrandon - Can I install the Voodoo Kernal using Odin?
No. the zip must be flashed using cwm recovery. If I have some time later I'll upload an odin version of the voodoo kernels.

[Q] Stock Restore stuck

I just switched over to Cyanogenmod 6.1.2 RC2 and before doing so I backed up my stock ROM using Clockwork. I really like Cyanogen however I wanted to boot back into my stock mod to save some of the original apps and data on my SD card to be able to transfer them over to Cyanogen.
I booted into clockwork recovery, cleared data and cache, and went about restoring my stock ROM. Everything installed fine but when I reboot the phone into the Stock ROM the phone gets stuck on the splash(?) screen, the one that just says T-Mobile MyTouch 4G. I proceeded to take out the battery, and reboot into clockwork recovery and reinstall Cyanogen 6.1.2 to hopefully get the PD15IMG file onto the SD card to do a complete stock restore from hboot.
Problem is that when I boot into Cyanogen, my phone no longer shows up as a "removable disc drive" when connected to Windows so that I can't transfer anything to the SD card.
I can get to hboot, s=off, and boot into clockwork recovery but for some reason as I said before, my stock ROM backup won't boot.
Appreciate any insight,
D

Not 100% sure but it could just be a corrupt backup or an error occurred with the backup. I've had issues with this before, you can probably reformat the sd card and if you can get any info needed off it keep it. I typically transfer "important" files onto my computer such as nandroid backups, some data, downloads, roms etc... for cases like this. What clockwork recovery image were you using?

[Q] Help with ROM Problems and question about sd card

Ok here is my situation: my phone is rooted and the rom installed is CM alpha build 51. somewhere along the line i think i messed up something and now im unable to backup the current rom w/ CWM to flash a new build/rom etc. when i try to backup current rom is restarts into recovery and when i try to backup there it says that its unable to mount system. Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.7 but in recovery mode it says 2.5.1.2 and when i try to flash a later version it just stays on 2.5.1.2. anyways
Q1. Anyone have a solution for this ?
if not
Q2. should i flash back to my original recovery and flash up again ?
Q3. What can i remove from the sd card ? its getting kinda full. can i completely wipe it ? I want to completely wipe it and flash CM7.
You need to use clockwork 3 to backup any version of cm7. You need to fastboot flash that recovery back on, then make backup, then flash 2.5.1.2, then restore 2.2 rom.
2.2 roms = CWM 2.5.x
2.3 roms = CWM 3.x

Help With new RED "cwm-recovery-ALL"

Hi
I am having a tuff time with all the new CMWs. here is my story
Ok so I had froyo DL30 and the new EB01 was leaked so I wanted to update to that. I tried going to CMW and for some reason it was not loading, I was stuck in the blue screen. I came here to the forums to find answers to my problems and found the thread with the new red cwm-recovery-ALL so I flashed that with odin and it seem to work at first, but when I wanted to flash a .zip it would no let me. it kept says it could not mount the sd card.
I decide to go back to completely stock with odin, then I flashed DL09 and then I flashed EB01modem.tar with odin also but I used the CMW that was made for DL05 and DL09. I tried booting into recovery and again could not get pass the blue screen. I tried several update.zips on my sdcard root and found one that worked, it was sitting in my clockworkmod folder. I dont know why it worked but it did and it took me to red clockworkmod. everything in there worked so I flashed jts superclean 2.4 and some batt mods. All those flashed correctly and was able to upgrade to EB01 and jt super clean but the CMW no longer works. It outomatically goes to re CMW (no blue screen) and again it tells me it cant mount sd card.
If someone has an answer to this please let me know, I am desparate. thankfully I got what I wanted form CMW before it stoped working.
I wished everyone gave odin files along with the zips so people have options on how to flash. personally I love odin over flashing CMW.
Thanks.

Been having the same issue, im going to use your exact method when i get it to work ill post my solution to you.
btw you can mount the card by, going to cwm, then advanced, the hit reboot recovery. you should be set.
Have you seen my thread?

It has all the steps to fix recovery but this is the red recovery which will work with both voodoo and non-voodoo. It seems to be working well for people if you follow all of the steps. You have to do more than just flash cwm-recovery-ALL via Odin.
Got it! fool proof!
put http://db.tt/kWmVm4F at the root of sdcard, call it update.zip
My steps, went to download mode, reverted to dl01 (stock) package.
After reverting i went straight to download mode and proceeded to odin this file http://db.tt/6dZUc7d (thanks jt!).
then after reboot i went directly to recovery mode, it took me right to red cwm. I then flashed a custom rom (super clean 2.4) and a custom voodoo eb01 kernel. I think this step is key to the process. Also applied update.zip
After this i went back to download mode and odined the eb01 modem, then booted to android.
After all this i put my device into usb mode and copied http://db.tt/kWmVm4F (thanks again jt!) putting it on the root of my sd card, naming it update.zip.
Lastly i copied it again to my clockworkmod folder on my sd card and renamed it "recovery-update.zip"
Booted to recovery installed things (zips) no problem.
Hope this helped!

what update.zip did you flash the first time?
currently following your steps and hoping that step is not completely necessary

2-reverted to dl01 (stock) package.
3-straight to download mode and proceeded to odin this file http://db.tt/6dZUc7d (thanks jt!).
4-directly to recovery mode, it took me right to red cwm.
after i get to rec cwm it starts giving me the same old problem, cant mount sd card. any ideas? about to trow phone against the wall
what odin package are you using to revert back to stock?
also this is what i get when i try to choose zip file
finding update package
E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

E:cant mound /sdcard
I went to the mounts and storage menu and tried mounting sdcard from there, it gave me the following
E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

Error mounting SDCARD:!
also not sure if you noticed but you have links to the same zip file twice once in your fist sentence and then again after you flash EB01
update 3
I am thinking it might have to do with the way my sd card is formatted, i remember formatting it a while ago so i can boot honeycomb form sd and then formatting it again (had some partition problems) but it has been use with cwm since then but you never know. does anyone know how should i format my sd card.

[Q] Continuum Kernal Issues - I think

So I got my continuum 3 weeks ago, first Droid phone. Decided to root, took me about 5 hours finally figured it out using SuperOneClick.
Wanted to check out some custom ROM's so I plugged my USB cable in and transfered the .zip file to my sd card and booted into cwr and tried to install the .zip from the sd card and rebooted, nothing was different or had changed. Did that a few times and realized that I hadn't wiped user data or cache or delvik so I did that all in the cwr and installed to .zip rom and rebooted.
This time when I rebooted a few things were different. All of my apps were in alphabetical order, the home screen was back to stock except for my background was one I had just installed. My contacts were gone (thank God I backed them up).
So I rebooted again.... hung at Samsung logo....
I had also put the Peanut Butter Jelly time kernal on my sd card out of luck I installed that and rebooted. This time everything was the same as my previous horror boot except all of my apps that were set to run on boot fc'ed and all of the other apps that I have are just icons. None of them open or they do and fc. Market will not open. My phone is a phone and a camera and the browser works.
I am very new to droid but learn quickly. I cannot post on the continuum dev threads because I am a noob. Hopefully one of the continuum devs will see this and know what to do to help.
Thanks a ton, I do not mind donating for help.
You said that you wiped user data?
That would remove all of your data, including your applications...
Your apps are toast, but your phone is not...
If you made a backup before you flashed (which you are supposed to xP) , then you can easily restore your apps then...
But if you didn't, then go back into recovery and do a full wipe... When you boot up, you should be back to the original state..
If not, then i am going to have to have you flash one of our rom zips... But i really dont think it'll come to that xP

Recovery
I made a backup and when I try to load it it says checking for md5 sums then gives me an error that it can't mount (unmount) the "/system".
So if I go back to recovery and wipe everything and reboot that should return me back to stock??
I don't care about the apps I dled I can always get those back but I can't even open market it fc everytime, no way to re-dl it.
1. what rom have you/are trying to install?
2. how are you installing the rom? you can't just go into cwr and click "apply sdcard:update.zip". you have to go to "install zip from sdcard", then go to "choose zip from sdcard", and then find the rom you put on your sdcard and select it. make sure you're flashing the rom file, not the cwr file because they are both named "update.zip". to make sure you're flashing the right file i would put cwr in the root of your sdcard and the rom file in some random folder.
3. did you install voodoo or novoodoo? and if you correctly installed either, the boot up video should be messed up when you turn on your phone. did you make sure the peanutbutta jelly time kernel was exclusively for the continuum, and you didn't accidently flash a kernel for some other phone?
4. if you truly did install the correct peanutbutta jelly time kernel, i would recommend flashing back to the original kernel (let me know if you need it). if you installed voodoo, you'll need to put a blank file in /sdcard/voodoo/ named "disable-lagfix"

1. what rom have you/are trying to install?
2. how are you installing the rom? you can't just go into cwr and click "apply sdcard:update.zip". you have to go to "install zip from sdcard", then go to "choose zip from sdcard", and then find the rom you put on your sdcard and select it. make sure you're flashing the rom file, not the cwr file because they are both named "update.zip". to make sure you're flashing the right file i would put cwr in the root of your sdcard and the rom file in some random folder.
3. did you install voodoo or novoodoo? and if you correctly installed either, the boot up video should be messed up when you turn on your phone. did you make sure the peanutbutta jelly time kernel was exclusively for the continuum, and you didn't accidently flash a kernel for some other phone?

1. I was trying to install the super clean
2. I was trying to install from zip on sd card then selecting the sc_cont.zip I believe it is called
3. I had both voodoo and no voodoo, with no voodoo I had no bootani's with voodoo it was the factory bootani but distorted.
4. I just tried the original kernal and system from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967165 and now my phone's bootani is stock stock but after the verizon screen my phone turns off.
So now my phone is bricked again. I tried going back to pbj (peanut butta jelly) voodoo kernal and the same distorted bootani comes up then the phone turns off. I can get into crm but that appears to be all I can do.
Is there a different place to get the stock kernal or is the link I posted the right one.
I would really like my phone back to stock and root again. But first things first... get it to boot to a phone.
Forgot something, when I attempt to boot into crm the lady comes on and says "Convert system partition, system is not available" Then it sits and the weird lines from voodoo and the bootani from voodoo. If i could get into "phone" I could create the file you are saying but the phone turns off after that. Back to boot like a loop.
Instead of creating a super large thread, how about you just hop into the IRC, and i will try my best... i have a couple ideas to try...

Thank you so much to trail blazer
Basically I had the wrong update.zip installed and couldnt even mount the usb to cpu to do anything about it. Luckily i had a msd to sd adapter and was able to switch out my update.zip to the correct cwm. Thank you so much blazer and imnuts!!! you guys are my heroes.
