What all will a clockwork restore bring back? I did a full backup through immediately after I gained root access (after I had just done the ota e28 update). Now I'm on superclean 2.2 voodoo-ed. Will it undo the voodoo that's on my phone our should I not use the clockwork restore for that? Thanks in advance.
You'll need to disable voodoo and reboot so the file system will be converted back to rfs before restoring or flashing a nonvoodoo kernel. Otherwise you'll be making the trip to Odin town to get your internal storage memory back.
So if I want to install superclean 2.3 nonvoodoo then, I would need to disable voodoo, and reboot first (while still on my 2.2 voodoo) in order to have it reset the file system, and then reboot and flash 2.3 nonvoodoo or is a reboot necessary? Thanks for the quick help.
You need to have nandroid backups for voodoo and non-voodoo. You can't restore a non-voodoo backup to a voodoo rom etc... But if you have the correct backup stored, performing a advanced restore / data will get all your data and apps back they way there were before your wipe / new rom installation. Works great.
I used the DI01 restore files from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204
and the .pit file from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878620
1. I first flashed the System partition with the Re-Partition option checked and the .pit file.
2. The I flashed the kernel (no pit or re-partition)
3. Finally I flashed the modem (again, no pit or re-partition)
Odin reports all three completed sucessfully, but when I power the phone on, I get and endless loop into Stock Recovery.
HALP?
first off, why did you check the re-partition? Odin is to be used without touchiong anything except pda and start (at least for fascinate)
Try using Odin for DL09 full package and you wont have to flash anything but one thing.

I used the re-partition option because I was having issues with DBDATA partition corruption and flashing back to DI01 didn't fix it.
Flashing DL09 now....
DL09 flashed successfully, still goes straight to Stock Recovery.

Try flashing this package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867648
yeah never touch anything in odin except the pda button and start. If i could get source code for it i would take out those buttons and recompile.
I was able to get into CWM Recovery and when I do a data wipe, I get the following errors:
Formatting DATA...
Formatting DATADATA....
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10 (File Exists)
Error mounting /datadata/
Skipping format...
Formatting CACHE:...
Formatting SDEXT:...
Formatting SDCARD:/.android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
running a backup also fails at trying to mount /dev/block/stl10.

what cwm are you using, sounds like that might be the problem now. try using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960118

That's the one I'm using.
you try a different sd card yet?
I have not tried a different SD card. from what I'm seeing it doesn't seem to be the culprit. Looks like the fact it can't mount the DBDATA partition is holding things up.
I'm restoring using Andrenalyn's DI01 package.
EDIT: Full DI01 package failed at movinand.bin
It's Alive!!
I was able to flash the full DI01 package using Heimdall, excluding the movinand.bin portion.
try eb01 heres a link.

awesome! hope your done sweating bullets...
Fingers crossed. We'll see if the original DBDATA partition corruption is still there. That's what cause this whole mess.
Just out of curiosity, why is the movinand.bin the only part that fails when I flash the DI01 package?
thanks everyone for your help!
Hello,
I was updating my Tab to 2.3.6 from 2.3.3, and since then, i can't write to MoviNand anymore. This means that whatever I write to /data or /sdcard doesn't actually change on the flash memory. When I remount or reboot, everything is back to normal.
This includes changes made using: mass storage, ADB, Recovery and even ODIN with repartition and a .pit file.
I've flashed the tab back to 2.3.3 and even to 2.2, but the contents of /data keeps unchanged.
I'm out of ideas. Anyone?
i used CM10, after i flashed a CM7 and it stuck in red logo M,then i flashed CM10 new buil, after that i can not install apps from Play store
and how can i flash CM7 from CM10. i have flash normal, but it stuck at red logo M
ensure you're using ext3, flash cm7, factory reset from stock recovery, test. maybe install cm7 again.
If that doesn't work then flash the sbf. Sbf to cm7 only takes about 15 minutes.
I had the exact cm10 to cm7 issue. I've posted all the ways I've seen to fix it. I sbf'd after trying different things for an hour.
As for market apps not installing, sort of had that issue too. It wouldn't install old versions when I went to My Apps>All. Had to search Play for the latest versions. Happened with hacked and regular market. No real fix, but a dalvik/cache wipe plus a market cache wipe and I haven't had that problem since.
EXT3 ?
is what ?

Ext3 and ext4 are different Linux file systems. By default (stock kernel) our file systems were mounted as either ext3. Custom kernels give us support for mounting /data, /cache, /sd-ext as ext4 (and ntfs/ext4 support on /sdcard -- no 4gb file size limit). Data on ext4 file systems should be better protected in case the phone freezes and you have to pull the battery.
Needless to say, if you're not sure if you're on ext3 or 4 and you didn't mess with the option in the bootmenu, you're formatted as ext3.
Hi,
I have installed Ultra Gb revolutionary 1.6 Rom and have been using it for a while. I wanted to remove all content on phone..so i tried to wipe data and reinstall the rom again. Rom flashed correctly and i rebooted the phone..but user apps were not removed, they are still on the phone.
I tried changing kernel, flash another rom, flashed utra gb again, the apps are still there, why?
You can try to conenct your sdcard to your PC and delete .android_secure, it contains sd apps that don't get deleted with /data
If it doesn't work you can use Wipe data option in settings :good:

Well, that may be a kernel issue! Try to install stock kernel/ROM via odin and get it all clean!

I think that's not the kernel, he said he tried to change it, i think he haves a problem because /data is not mounted,
OP use CWM and mount /data, then do wipe data & cache

While selecting Factory reset on cwm, data & cache are automatically mounted and both data, cache and .andtoid_secure is wiped! I'm jst sharing my experience, it happened with me few times while using percy_g2 kernel! The best option for me was odin!
In CWM in general partition is mounted when wiped, I think switching kernel and try again
Flash another CM kernel and wipe data then return to your kernel, or do a factory reset from setting in phone
Try to use odin. Your userdata.img may be Corrupted
Press Thanks if Helped
Well a simple solution to the problem :
1.Go to CWM,mount all the partitions and flash percy's kernel (CyanogenMod #2)
2.Go back and then go to advanced > reboot recovery
3.Now you'll be in Percy's recovery and from there,under mounts and storage,format data and format cache.
4.Go back and then go to mounts and storage and mount all the partitions.
5.Flash back to bieltv.3's kernel and reboot.
Finally, i had to flash flash stock Rom via Odin and go back to ultra gb.. Thanks for all the help guys
