ClockworkMOD step by step uninstall Guide (Bell I9000M).

Hi Guys,
As i am a fresh victim of ClockworkMOD and my I9000M refuse to boot. Can someone please post a step by step Guide to uninstall ClocworkMOD Manually as i don't have Rom Manager install anymore.
My Internal_sd is readonly so i have to push the files into system/bin and work through adb.
I have tried deleting the files from the System folder but the files comes back as you reboot your phone.
Also /DATA folder has DALVIK_CACHE and other folders read only, However core system not to be able to write anything into /data as it boots.
Any Help will be appreciated.

If you used the RomManager from the market all it does is copy update.zip onto your internal SD.
I don't know what you need removed?

As far as I'm aware ClockworkMod doesn't replace anything - it uses a fake-flash method on the Galaxy S series that doesn't change stock recovery?

well i am having problems mounting internal_sd card. seems like recovery not able to delete dalvik-cache and bunch of other folders in /data.
i have reflashed JGJH2 and problem persist.
after odin finish flashing recovery not able to update. getting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (I/O error) or (file exist).
any suggestions will be appreciated.

SD-Card-Slot killed via wipe?!

Hey there, just have a f**** problem.
Yeah, I know it s my fault etc...
BTW: My HTC Legend is SOFF, and I have a nandroid backup.
My HTC Legend worked finde some hours ago.
Tried the newest CM nightlies etc...
Then, I installed the new Clockworkmod v.3.0.2.4 and wanted to wipe all back:
So I went into the CWM-menu and agreed the following steps:
- format /misc <-- NEVER DO THIS!!!!!
- format /boot
- format /system
- format / cache
- format /data
then I wanted to flash the new rom (install zip from SDCARD), but suddenly i got an error:
"Error mounting SD-Card".
I thought it is a bug from the new CWM, so i flashed the old CWM 2.5.0.1 back and tried again. But i got shooked:
The same error appeared!
Ok, then I tried another SD Card, nothing changed. All SD Cards work perfect on PC and have no errors...
So I think the issue comes from formating any partition...
So i flashed boot, system back via "ADB", because I cannot use SD Card anymore on my phone...
By trying to get the data partition back on the phone, I get the error: "partition does not exist"
Got it now with a very old nandroid to get bootet, but there is still no data-partition and i cannot get the SD card????
So I hope anybody out there could help me to save my Legend....
EDIT: I got it!
In fastboot i had to use ADB Command:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

Bricked

I was trying to install oxygen rom and it was giving me error 7, i tried many things and after formatting everything (system, data, sd card) without backup, the phone wont turn on. it boots into clockwork recovery fine. connected it with the purple screen to a linux machine and there are folders in the memory but no files. Can't even find recovery.img. Tried installing stock Rom but after the progress bar goes about 10 percent it gives an error. Custom roms still give error 7. Please help.

I'd suggest to boot in recovery (or install it if you accidentally deleted it) and wipe everything in advance (Dalvik etc) and then try to install a rom (anyone that worked for you) or some stock one.

I did that! i formated system, data, dalvik cache etc. and didn't back up the the phone before. when installing from purple screen stock rom gives an error and in recovery custom rom gives error 7 (assert failed)

Relax, your phone is not bricked, it's actually nowhere near that.
In case you lost all the data in Bootloader (pink screen), format the partition with FAT32, create a folder called "image" and copy the following files on there.
EMMCBOOT - http://www.mediafire.com/?lb6ifvgk72iru4a
AMSS.MBN - http://www.mediafire.com/?d6r45q6p5gew59v
Recovery.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?57njygc8oianjac
Boot.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?6d5i0714a7o9z97
Once you've copied those files in there, boot into CWM and flash another custom ROM. Try Miui or CM7 this time.
If you don't have any Rom zips on the SD card, no problem. Just boot into CWM (Vol+ and Power), go into Mounts section and select mount USB/SD card. This should make the SD card available on the computer and then you can copy any other Rom zip on the root of the SD card.

Does he really need boot.img to boot recovery?

Nope, not really. But just in case, I still think it's a good idea to put that in there...

Can't write to internal EMMC

Hi,
I have a nook that I rooted and put a custom rom on back about a year and a half ago. I flashed the ROM to the internal EMMC and CWM 3.2.0.1 was flashed as recovery. If it makes any difference it was a CM9 ROM
Now here's where I'm at. I can run ROMs off the sd-card but they are not stable at all. I get a whole bunch of force closes and such.
When I try and flash a new ROM to the internal EMMC it says it completes, but nothing changes. It is still the previous ROM. When I try and format the /data and /system partitions with the EMMC recovery, it doesn't complete. It says there is an error. When I format with TWRP off an sd card, it says it completes but once again, the rom is not wiped.
I've tried the 8 reboot error method, and it never gets to the stock recovery screen. It keeps booting to the EMMC ROM.
I've tried repartioning the EMMC with leapinlar's zip files. It says it successfully completes, but once again nothing changes.
Ideally I'd like to get the emmc back to stock and try and run a rom off the sdcard.
I've read the threads that I thought were applicable to my issues, but nothing seemed to work. I'm completely out of ideas. Anyone have similar issues or can provide some guidance?
Thanks.

The problem you are having running a ROM from SD is the brand and speed of SD you are using. It needs to be SanDisk class 4.
The reason the 8 failed boot does not work is you replaced the stock recovery with CWM. It needs the stock recovery to be able to complete. See my NC tips thread linked in my signature and read item A12. Assuming you can get it to flash, I have a stock recovery zip there.
I don't understand why the ROMs are not flashing. You say it gives errors when you try to wipe with CWM. What do the errors say? You used the internal CWM and TWRP on SD, but none worked. Try my bootable CWM SD to see if that helps.
I don't understand why my partition zips did not work. I know the newest TWRP will not flash them without giving an error 2 message. Try my bootable CWM SD.

Thanks for the advice...
I've been using a Patriot class 10 micro sd to run the roms/attempt to flash new roms. Its worked fine before, but I'll try and pickup another one from someplace.
When I try and format /system and /data from the emmc CWM it says "Error formatting /system" or "error formatting /data" after working away for about 5 minutes
Here's what i did:
Created CWM 6.0.1.2 Bootable SD
- Flashed NookColor-emmc-stockrecovery.zip
- Message said successfull.
- tried to restart and old CWM recovery 3.2.0.1 was still installed
Booted into CWM 6.0.1.2 Bootable SD Recovery
- mounted /system and /data
- attempted to format
- Message "Done." for both
- attempted to flash stock 1.4.3 that you have modified for CWM
- install from sdcard complete
- reboot
- Old CynanogenMod bootscreen and old rom still installed.
Using same CWM 6.0.1.2 Bootable Sd Recovery
-flashed NookColor-emmc-repair-partitions-1-4-5-6-7-8.zip and NookColor-emmc-format-partitions-5-6-7.zip
-said success
-attempted to flash stock 1.4.3
- nothing changed. Old rom still installed
One more thing I noticed:
Everytime I login to the currently flashed rom, any changes I make are never saved. For example, if i install an apk or uninstall an app, the next time i can successfully boot into the emmc ROM, those changes are reversed to the previous version. Could it be that the current rom is being stored somewhere and being reflashed when it tries to bootup?

I hate to say this, but it sounds like your internal embedded card has become read only. I have had this happen to SDs but not to emmc. The apps act like they are writing and if you leave the folder and come back, they are not there. It is like they are writing to a ramdisk instead of your SD. You might try booting to a ROM on SD and see if you can write to any of the internal partitions like /cache or /rom and see if they stick. If not, you may only be able to run off SD and maybe not even then. You might have to change your dalvik cache setting on SD so it uses /data instead of /cache.

I tried copying a file to the emmc partition from twrp and it didn't persist after reboot... so it looks like the emmc is set to read only. I don't supposed I can change that using adb and/or software solutions right? It's a hardware issue?
Any guidance on how to change davlik cache to use /data instead of /cache? I'll be happy to get any sort of stable rom running off any SD card.
I was hoping to repurpose the nook as in in car tablet to tether a data connection to my phone and play music and such.
Thanks for your help. I appreciate you taking the time.

I don't know of anything that can revive it. I never could revive my SD that that happened to.
To make your ROM on SD use /data for all of the dalvik cache, create a file in /data named local.prop. In that file put this line:
dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1
Next time it boots the system file portion of dalvik cache will be on /data along with the installed app portion.
Sent from my stock Nook HD+ using XDA Premium

I now have a stable version of CM 7.2 running off the SD card. I put the davlik cache on the data partition and everything seems to be running pretty smooth.
I'll keep messing around seeing if there is anything to revive the internal emmc, but at least I can use the nook off the SD card again.
Thanks for helping me troubleshoot and figure this out. Cheers.

Thanks for your speedy reply.
I have some further questions though:
1. which 'recovery' do you mean and where will I find Titanium backup and tytung tool?
2. I have downloaded the paragon software to copy the sd card contents which I will try to do now. However, what are the 'normal' methods used to resize as I mentioned in my previous post that the ext4 partition seems fixed when using the mini tool partition software?
TIA,
Geoff.

Robbie,
I have put the sd card into the slot on my computer (which is a year old HP laptop) and also tried in a USB port but the Paragon software is not recognising the card at all, with only the c drive being shown. However, I am able to see the contents of the fat32 partition of the SD card through explorer as normal. Am I doing something wrong??

Which recovery did you use to install the rom? does it have facility to backup ext partitions? I know macs18max edited SDrecovery can do this from the first post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd2-android/nand-dev/nov-17-2015-kernel-3-0-101-t3251438 others can too.
titanium backup can be found in play store, free and paid versions. haven't used it myself for a while and only used free one. people on this forum swear by it though.
tytung's NativeSD backup might have to be searched for, I'm afraid.
Don't know why your ext partition is not showing up. What rom(s) are you using?
magldr or clk?
Sounds like you will have to use a backup method from the phone as opposed to pc, to store the contents on your FAT partition, then move/copy them to pc.
does this make sense?

Thanks again Robbie. Tis whole thing gets wierder as follows:
I'm using Nexus HD2 Jellybean-CM10_V1.3a as the rom. In the recovery directory of the SD card there's the Jellybean rom as mentioned, clrcad (dated 8/7/2010, haret, initrd.zip, startup text document & zImage (dated 5/9/2012).
There's also a NativeSD directory with the same files as the recovery directory.
Running Haret from the recovery directory takes me to 4EXT Recovery v2.2.7 RC5.
It also shows: E: can't find misc
E: failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache".
In the info section it lists the sd-ext partition ext4 1012MiB free 135.5mb, sdcard fat32 14175 MiB free 8.0gb.
Attempt to backup fails as can't find cache partition, boot, recovery logs on E:
I loaded the Paragon software on my newer laptop but no ext partition was found. I then loaded the Paragon software on an older laptop and hey presto the partition was there. I tried to back this up on the pc but had repeated problems with files not being read. Then suddenly the ext partition disappeared on the pc but phone booted into Android-phew!.
I tried on the 1st pc and suddenly it recognised the ext partition. I tried backing up the partition but again had read problems. The fat32 partition backed up without 1 error.
So where do I go now? I don't want to loose the data in the ext partition but don't seem to be able to backup. Any suggestions welcome.
Geoff.

perhaps paragon wasn't the best choice for backing up. Try the recovery linked-to above, put it on your sdcard and run haret from its folder (you might have to change the folder name so that it is not the same as your other recovery folder). then select backup, then scroll down to sdext, tick it and swipe, it should copy to your FAT, and it seems you have plenty of space there. I haven't tried this backup method, which is why I said use 2 methods to backup. the more the merrier.
There are free sms, phone and app backup applications such as superbackup in playstore.
There was also a way to copy the whole sdcard as an image, partitions included, I will have a look for it.

Robbie thanks again.
I downloaded the recovery folder from your link but there's only 2 files in it namely initrd.gz and zImage, there's no haret. I have copied the haret, clrcad & startup text files files from the old recovery directory but it just hangs on running haret.
Geoff.

Sorry Geoff, I am not giving you very good advice. That recovery has a 3.0 kernel in it, and won't boot from haret. Am working ATM, will reply later.

Hi again Robbie,
I have good news and bad!!
I managed to eventually get the Paragon software to recognise the ext4 partition on my new laptop. What's odd is that the ext4 partition is listed under the name of the c drive. I then unmount and remount the ext4 with a new drive letter and I can then read/write. So having managed to mount, I was able to copy off all the files from the FAT32 & ext4 partitions to my hard disk. That's the end of the good bit.
As its 3 years since I did the last Jellybean install, I'd forgotten what to do and kept seeing posts about magldr and custom radio roms. I tried to boot into magldr on the phone while doing the sd card backups but it wouldn't go into it. I had assumed I must have installed it when I did the original SD rom install and I then wrongly assumed I needed to reinstall the HSPL4 and custom radio roms to get it on again. The former was ok but the latter caused the phone to hang on reboot at the HTC logo. At this point I went to the bootloader screen but after having the 4 colour screen I then got the white screen with blue writing for updating the rom from an sd card (there must have been an unzipped rom on the card). I mistakenly hit the install rom button and this erased all the phone's data before I'd had chance to use SD Backup, a programme I hadn't bothered using since long before I converted to Android.
I then looked back in my old bookmarks and came across a facebook guide to the Native SD installation which didn't mention magldr at all and it was at this point that I realised I'd not previously loaded it on the phone, although I did eventually manage to get it on after downgrading the HSPL to 2.08 and successfully flashing the custom radio only to be permanently booting into magldr-so I again reflashed the stock rom to get rid of it! What a waste of time!!
Having backed up the sd card partitions, I erased the partitions and made a new ext4 of 3gb and copied back the files to both partitions. I tried to boot the haret in the native SD folder but the phone hung at the HTC logo and then rebooted itself back into windows. I tried installing the jelly bean rom as an update using ext4 recovery but no joy. I tried wiping the ext4 partition and reformatting with EXT4 recovery then installing the rom as a new install which then booted into Android ok after which I overwrote the ext4 files with the previously saved ones. Now I get a boot into the CyanogenMod screen but no further even after waiting 30 mins. I also tried using NAtiveSD onetouch recovery to try and make a backcup of the old system and then restore over the new install (but not the boot files) but again I just get the hung CyanogenMod screen.
So do you have any idea of how I might get a successful boot with my old data? Perhaps I'm missing something else in the overwrite/restore process but I can't see what.
Any further help would be grateful-perhaps you have forum contact who might be able to help as well.
TIA,
Geoff.:crying:
