2nd init problems - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i went here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
installed v2.0 ( v2.3 fail install)but when in recovery SDcard cannot mount.
why sdcard works in rom but not in recovery?
tried twice.
is there anyway to update 2ndinit/bootmenu/cwm without access to sd (so i can install cm9 again)
do i have to try another sbf?

So u rooted your phone, installed 2ndinit and when in custom recovery u do not see your SD?
And do you have OpenRecovery folder on your SD???

CWM won't mount your Sdcard. You need to do that from bootmenu.
Tools>Share SDcard..
Make sure you click on Stop USB Share after finished.

As I understand he tried to enter CWM recovery to install any CM - in such case recovery sees SD itself. Am I wrong?

Eventually found out it was cwm 2.5.1 problem. CWM 2.5.1 doesn't like some SD cards... so I flashed a new sbf ( Nordic deblur froyo) and installed old 2nd init... (newer versions dont work).... with old clockwork mod and it seems to be fixed...

You have to partition your SD card (gparted/ubuntu...)
1st: fat32 put the rom-zip into the root of this partition
2nd: ext4 1GB
3rd: ext4 400MB
4th: linux swap
Install CWR via MAGLDR like flashing a NAND rom (DAF etc...)
reboot, enter MAGLDR and goto boot AD SD - now U enter CWR
and then follow the steps as mentioned in the rom thread. (chose ZIP dfrom SD card... install... reboot...)
Good luck
It´s quite easy.
The above post will work UNLESS you use one of the cwm 1.3 partitions. Using cwm 1.3 puts the recovery files on NAND (so no need to copy files to the root of your sd card for recovery to work. In order to boot into Recovery you need to select AD Recovery instead of Boot AD SD

HELP. clockworkMod recovery can't mount /sdcard

Hi all, I'm traing to install a fix, and clockworkMod recovery can't mount /sdcard.
do anyone have a clue on how to fix this?
tks!
I am also having this issue,
i'm using an 8G and 2G sd cards, tried to format them through the computer and through the phone but with no luck
i'm using clockwork recovery 2.5.1
try making a folder on your sd card, clockworkmod.
tried that, and it started working for me, dunno if it was a coincidence though.

I had the same problem. I think its due to the original JRDNEM_U3_2.59.0 sbf.
SO... Use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674
When choosing your firmware select the Nordic 2.2.2 (Froyo) version [JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005]. Then re-root using : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913709
Then you should be able to mount sd card in CWM.

Please tell me how you installed CM7 on the Defy.
I've been trying to install a custom ROM (CyanogenMod) all day on my phone but now I'm pulling my hair out by the clumps. This seems to be one stubborn device to play with. My desire didn't give me any trouble at all.
Please help with the following queries I have:
I have installed 2nd init boot and then was accessing clockworkmod through that.
But when I try backing up my ROM I get the error "cannot mount /sdcard".
On the defy if I press up and power on I get the default bootloader with battery check. I can only get into clockworkmod from the recovery app.
On my desire, I can directly boot into ClockworkMod Recovery by pressing up and power button. I don't remember now how I got t to do that, but I would like that in my Defy too. I suppose this will solve the sdcard problem?
What must I do to install a custom ROM on defy??
EDIT: I followed the cyanogenmod wiki at first and in their method I got stuck at the cp -R command, where I got the error "cannot stat, no such file or directory found" or something like that. I'm at my wits' end here, please help me!

This is hell annoying but simple solution worked on LGO2X. Reinsert SDCARD while in Recovery. It should work in all devices. Nothing stupid to try. Tell me...
It is because you formated your sd card with some other file system. Just go to settings / sdcard and storage . Unmount your sdcard and format it. It will get mounted in cwm from now on .

Still Can't mount sdcard, after formatting and creating folder on sdcard
phone and software details:
ClockWorkMod Recovery v2.5.1.8
Motorola Defy Eclair, OS 2.1, kernel 2.6.29
SndInitDefy_2.0.apk (Defy 2ndinit)
Android Bootmenu v0.6.1
USB Debugging is NOT on when I reboot.
I formatted the card, remounted it in normal operation, then tried going into the Android Bootmenu and mounting the sdcard, formatting it, backup but none of them worked b/c it couldn't mount the sdcard.
I also tried doing the same thing, but not remounting it in normal operation and shutting it off to no avail.
I also tried adding the folder: /sdcard/clockworkmod but with no luck.
Specifically, when do Custom Recovery, then in ClockworkMod Recovery, do backup and restore and do backup, I get the error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0{
(No such file or directory)
Can't mount /sdcard
This particular version of the OS makes rooting very difficult. z4root doesn't work as it exploited some security feature that was figured in the firmware update. Since I have a mac, even after using mono, I was not able to get SuperOneClick working (it hangs on "waiting for device"). So the only way I found to root was from this post:

Same issue on Galaxy S Plus
Have to same situation here with a Galaxy S Plus (9001). Everything works great mounted on the stock rom, but not in clockworkmod. Card is formated as FAT32 with clustersize at 1024 bytes. It's another phone but it might be the same issue ... Reinsert card while in recovery doesn't work, it reboots the recovery I think. Putting a folder 'clockworkmod' on the sdcard also doesn't work.

[Q] Can i repair cwm recovery?

Hello,
Ive magldr cwm recovery installed, and a magldr NAND rom.
Yesterday i tried to play with rom manager.
I didnt know it only work with clk, and i made the mistake to update recovery throug rom manager.
So it broke my MAGLDR cwm recovery :-(
My question is : can i repair my MAGLDR cwm recovery without wiping my rom?(because i didnt recently do a nandroid backup)
Thx for your help.
Unfortunately, no you can't.
The only way to fix your cwm is to re install cwm. And that will wipe off your rom, data and everything else.
Edit:
wow, i never knew about that !

We are just writing an image to the already created recovery partition,, not using daf to write a partition layout. It's just like flashing a rom, but only the recovery partition is affected.
In the android nand section, titled something like "clockworkrecovery, nand,SD, ver 5.0.2 yes/no stable" or something, (currently top post
Get both
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip (3.93 MB, 1153 views)
and
recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip (4.25 MB, 3415 views)
Extract and copy the SD card ver onto SD card (copy the two files to SD, done)
And then copy the whole cwr.zip to SD card too.
Then, into magldr, "ad SD" will boot into the cwm files you placed on SD, and choose instal zip from SD,,, choose zip,, and select the cwm.zip you also placed on SD.
This will write the cwm image into the recovery partition without reflashing the cwm partition layout, so nothing lost.
it worked
thank you for your help and your very precise explanations
welcome. Its worth leaving those two files on the SD in case recovery fails for whatever reason, since you can backup and restore just like in nand cwm recovery.

i could not get into the CWM menu, but with your help i was able to flash to a new custom rom.
In attempting this, I get the following error:

Any help?
Perhaps the recovery partition is too small? Perhaps you don't have a recovery partition? Check the flash.cfg you last used for partition sizes you used.
Alternatively, use the SD cwm to make a backup and do a fresh flash.

I have the same error as the person above you. Do you recommend using the SD cwm to flash Recovery_150M_system_44M_cache[v3.0.2.4].zip? I cannot recall what flash.cfg I used.

I had the same error. I made a copy of the recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip and copied my original CWMRecovery's recovery-raw.img on top of the new zip's recovery_leo.img file. That got me past the error and AD recovery works now.
Thanks for that just fixing mine as well now

[Recovery] Unofficial CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7[u8800pro&u8800]

I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.
unofficial Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.7 for u8800pro and u8800 [upgrade to offical 2.3 GB]
Installation Instructions (upgrading - root explorer method):
Using any file explorer which is able to remount as writeable (such as root explorer), browse to the /cust_backup directory and remount it as writeable
Navigate to the image directory and backup up the current recovery by renaming it to something like recovery.bak, or _recovery.img
Rename the downloaded recovery to recovery.img and copy to the image directory.
Installation Instructions (new install):
Unplug any usb connection and turn the phone completely off
Whilst holding both the volume + and volume - keys hold the power button to turn the device on. Let go when you see a pink/purple screen.
Attach the usb cable to your computer and wait until a few usb mass storage devices are detected and mounted. Look for one that has just one directory called 'image' in it. Navigate into this directory and you'll see recovery.img etc.
(optional) Rename recovery.img to recovery_backup.img
copy the new recovery.img to image, unmount the mass storage device (safely remove in windows) and then pull the battery out to turn the phone off.
Hold volume + and power to boot to recovery.
Install any custom rom
change:
mod the kernel,Ums is worked now
use zte u880‘s charge png
can install zip from emmc and use emmc backup&restore
add ext4 fs support
about SDcard
if you can't mount SDcard in recovery,do this:
enter "advanced"--"Reboot Recovery"
then you could use the SDcard
ps:this is issue of offical GB,not recovery!

Tested on u8800 and works very good. SD card sometimes can't mout properly, but i guess it's not an issue from CMW.
I've done a official GB backup, restored without a glitch, installed ICS demo without any problem too.
Can I upgrade my u8800 to official beta 2.3.5 and use this CWM to upgrade to cm7 or miui if I won't be able to use ics demo?

Was it a backup you did with this CWM version? Or with the stockwell's CWM? The old backups don't work with this one I believe.
the backup its before this version of course. but even with this new CWM I cant flash new rom. I says error blablabla id u8800pro. I installed this because I wanted to try new ICSrom but now Im stuck to it lol

Have you flashed official GB before installing this recovery? I think you need to do that before this works in the original U8800.
yes I did ! the ICS works but not others.
Hmm, I tried to restore my backup from yesterday done with stockwells 5.0.2.6 recovery and my phone got ****ed up. I know I shouldn't have done this but I just had to try. xD Now I can't get past the Huawei logo, when I push the power the phone starts but just turns off after couple of seconds. I can get to bootloader (pink screen) but not to recovery. I hope no one else has tried this and I hope I get my phone working again.
Would anyone have any advice how to get my phone back up and running? Or should I just go bring it to warranty support?
have you tried to replace the recovery.img from this topic again? that happened to me too when I tried to go back with CWM v4 but then I replaced with this

Reboot into Recovery fail?

Ok so I rooted and installed CMW on like the 23rd of June and it installed CMW onto my phones internal SD (I guess it didn't recognize the external SD). Apparently now there is a fix to flash CMW onto the SD card but I can't find any instructions on how to uninstall CMW from the internal SD... Do I just delete the folder and then flash CMW onto the external?
The second problem is that now that I have updated my rom manager and CMW to the latest version I can't get into recovery. It just boot loops and I have to boot into download mode and reboot from there.
Help is greatly appreciated! I want to be able to try CM10 so bad lol.

You seem a bit confused on the CWM works -- Your first problem, really isn't a problem at all.When you flash a different version of CWM, there isn't any need to delete any folder. With that said, some back-ups from one version(s) of CWM may not work with others.
If you are on T-Mo as your info says, download Terminal Emulator from the Play Store, and follow the instructions from this thread very carefully - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766552
This should fix both your problems and also install the version of CWM that is compatible with both internal and external storage.
