Hello!
I'm trying to find out where to see a list of parameters I can use in there.
I'm using the ClockworkMod recovery (even if I think it's just universal that part), but if I write in that cache file "boot-recovery --nandroid" nothing happens when I reboot into recovery, if I set just "--nandroid" it says "E: invalid arguments"...
What I want to achieve is to execute a nandroid backup and then one or more update zip files. Is it possible?
Thanks!
no one has any idea?
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING!
What this is: This is simply an easy script to update your kernel via Clockwork Recovery, no ADB commands or mounting within Android involved.
To flash:
Download one of the kernels below.
Copy to the root of your SD card.
Boot into Clockwork Recovery.
Select install update from SD card.
Navigate to the ZIP file you copied.
Flash and reboot!
To create a ZIP like this:
Extract the template zip file. (attached)
Navigate to the boot folder and put your zImage in there. (optionally you can also place an initrd.gz)
Navigate to the system/lib/modules and place all your .ko files in there.
Archive the file again to a zip file and redistribute.
Example kernels:
[09 JAN][KERNEL] -=MDJ=- s10 [OC1536-SMARTASS-CIFS-CFS-UTF8]
[02 JAN][KERNEL][RMNET][SMARTASS][G-Sensor Fix] prj's kernel v0.3
Notes:
Probably won't work on builds that have squashfs'ed /system as it won't be able to install modules.
The kernels above do not replace your initrd.gz. Only your zImage and .ko files in /system/lib/modules.
It if first time I'm trying to use Clockwork Recovery to update.
After choosing .zip it asks for pre-installation backup and wipe.
I'm choosing only backup.
It says"push ok in order to reboot and continue installation".
I'm doing that, it reboots to recovery and what?
No changes.
Please, help if somebody knows
Your using the wrong topic to ask for this question.
However, in order to avoid useless clutter, the solution is:
- Launch Clockwork
- Select the other install menu ("Install zip from sdcard" instead of "apply update")
>This won't ask for a backup, but will just flash the kernel.
>You can also flash applications this way, but they HAVE to be BUILD for Clockwork
Honestly, this is easy as 123, and such request always come from people who never search.
Sorry about the rant, but i didn't invent the plane myself, and however i'm still astonished about all the prowess i can do just by looking for myself.
Try and do the same.
Thank you.

Ok. thank you any way.
And be aware, I'm quite intelligent not to ask every time, I don't know something.
I know how the search button works
But see, forum is quite far from live communication.
Thus, people could name same things with different words.
Even your description differs sufficiently from the initial instructions:
Author wrote "boot to clockwork recovery" and this means for me boot
into clockwork recovery mode from rom manager for manual rom management.
what?
That's why people asking here for help. And this thread is proper for asking my questions till I understand which exact topic should I ask.
Thanks.
Well, just to clarify I mean boot into Clockwork by holding down power and choosing Boot to SD in MAGLDR.

Yes, thank you! there is a thread about proper use of clockwork with nand roms already in section.
It seems, I'm not alone
Greetings.
I am trying to install Cyanogenmod 7.0.2 on my HTC Tattoo (still has 1.6). This is the first time I've done this.
I am following the Cyanogenmod wiki page that shows you the whole process of rooting+flashing a new rom (since this is my first post I am unable to post outside links in this thread).
In the "Installing Clockworkmod Recovery" section, I get the following error when trying to flash the image:
flash_image: not found
I listed the files in /sdcard and saw that it was completely empty.
Can anyone tell me what I missed?
I copied the Clockworkmod image file to the root directory by connecting my phone to my PC through USB (USB Debugging was on) and copying the file there.
Please let me know how to solve this.
Thank you.
I was able to solve my problem and proceed with the attempt to flash Clockworkmod. Now I'm getting another error though:
error writing recovery: No space left on device
I have plenty of space in the SD Card (~2GB), but I'm assuming the problem is with the phone's internal memory. I don't know what I can delete.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried to do as you said and installed both Rom Manager and Superuser. But now I have other issues...
1. On Superuser, it says there is a newer version of su and to update. I accept and get the following error:
An error occurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your binary.
2. So, I decided to ignore the update of su and just move on to Rom Manager. Here, I get an error like "su was not found in /system/bin". Well, su is in "/data/local/bin", as per the cyanogen wiki to root the phone. After this, any attempt to flash Clockworkmod fails.
3. To try to make it so Rom Manager has everything it needs, I followed the wiki again, but this time I tried to move the su file to /system/bin. I got the following error:
failed on './su' - Cross-device link
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Hmm, i had the same problem when i was trying to Flash CM7...
Your phone is not rooted...
I know its very frustrating but no worries!
1.Download program from this thread ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761507... you'll see the program in attachemnts and dl the first one.
2.Paste it in your's SD card , install it (use ASTRO MANAGER, to find the program)
3.Open the program and root the phone with 1 click
4. Then Superuser will ask you to allow it and click yes, and go to ROM MANAGER.
5.You will have to allow the Superuser here too.. Do it.
6.Flash Clockwork Mod recovery, and reboot into recoverymod.
7.Flash your Rom , flash Gapps(Google applications)
8.Enjoy
Thank you CROpipe!
Your instructions worked! I now have CM7 installed on my HTC Tattoo!
Here are the issues I found though:
1. When I was trying to download the ROM using ROM Manager, the list of ROMs was empty. Maybe it's because I was not using the Premium version...? I ended up downloading the ROM from the forum, copying it to the SD card and installing it that way.
2. I tried also to install GApps through Rom Manager. I was afterwards able to set up my google account, but I still had to manually download GMail, Google Maps, ... I'm not sure if this is actually how it's supposed to go... :-/
Anyway, thanks again for the help.
Yap that is quite allright Congrats on your new ROM ))

I want to install GladiAtrix 3 but i can't find the “Install zip from SDCARD” option in the recovery mode. There is only a "install update.zip" or something like this. Any help?
I'm on 1.83 with Glingerbreak 1.20 and GladEnable.

There are 2 menus to go through.
The first should have the following options:
- Reboot system now
- Apply SDCARD :update.zip
- Apply SDINTERNAL update.zip
- Wipe DATA/Factory reset
- Wipe CACHE partition
- Install zip from SDCARD
- Backup & restore
- Mounts & storage
- Advanced
- +++++Go Back+++++
The second should have the following options:
- apply sdcard :update.zip
- choose zip from sdcard
- toggle signature verification
- toggle script asserts
- choose zip from internal sdcard
- +++++Go Back+++++
If you aren't getting these menus, I would reinstall Tenfars CWM and try again.

Care to elaborate on what was wrong so that others who read this thread might see what you did to solve the problem.

maybe he was using the regular recovery and not CWM.
Hi all,
Can anyone please help me share my internet connection from my laptop to my Samsung Galaxy3 running Android 2.2?
I tried Connectify, Virtual Router and mHotspot but none of them work.
In case of mHotspot, I watched video on You Tube and done the same but I am not able to connect to that wi-fi network although I am able to find it by turning on my android mobile's wi-fi..
In case of Connectify and Virtual Router, I am not able to find Wireless Network on my android device. Can anyone please help?
Please let me know if any other information is required.

Thanks Bane, can you please let me know, how to Flash the mod via CWM?
Also, do you know if CWM supports SG3 as I am also trying to flash my phone to install custom ROM but not able to do so via CWM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858583
please use search
In the thread that you have provided, please let me know where to look for "how to Flash the mod via CWM"
when I downloaded mod file, it asks me which application to open the file in. I selected ROM Manager, then it reboots in recovery mode...there I have four options
Reboot system now
Install sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
which one I need to select?
I strongly advice to spend some time here in the forum and read all the FAQs and tutorials, as they will explain everything you need to know.
as the file is called wpa_adhoc-signed.zip you need to select an option that allows you to install a .zip or you need to rename the file to update.zip and select the option to install update.zip
Bane, I searched first and then asked but I am too noob to understand all this. I renamed the file to update.zip and then reboot to recovery mode. It still says the same:
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk() (or NULL)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation Aborted
You need cwm, flash a kernel that already has it(cf-root/g3mod/simplicity) or pm mumbozver for the installer
Or you can also manually copy the files although the first method will be easier

Thanks cdesai for the reply. I am using cwm and using this only, I am rebooting my phone in recovery mode. Does "flashing a kernel that already has this solution" means that I should flash my phone with a custom ROM that already has this solution implemented?
Ok
keep the adhoc file on your sd card
reboot into cwm
(use volume buttons to navigate, home to select)
choose apply zip from sd card
select the adhoc zip file
click on yes
it should work, if not then yes you can flash place the file by root explorer or flash a custom rom that already has it implemented
to manually apply the file
open the adhoc zip
open system folder
open bin folder
extract the file wpa_supplicant and keep just the file on ur sd
open root explorer and copy the file to /system/bin (replace the old one, take a backup of it - or rename it)
Are you referring to wpa_supplicant by adhoc file?
I cannot copy the extracted file to /system/bin folder as going to that folder is graying out paste option
If I try to apply it by rebooting into recovery mode, it is giving error message:
It is getting failed with the following message:
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk() (or NULL)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation Aborted
Note: I have renamed the file to update.zip and placed it in root of sdcard before rebooting it into recovery mode. Even then, I am getting this error message.
Please help me in proceeding further.
