[Q] installition failure

I just did some changes and am starting to get failures. I had portioned my sd card with clockworkmod in rom manager and did not find the option to change ext2 to ext3 so i left it be for a few months.
I then got pri zip for 1.77_003 that required RA recovery since clowckworkmod 2.5.0.1 would not allow me to install the zip for new pri (root users). Flashed RA 1.8.0
As a froyo 2.2 user, it gives the option for me to auto update apps in market, so I use it. Since I am in a small area that has sprint 3g with 2 bars in AM, and roam with 3 bars in PM, it will start the update then fail. I loose the app as it removes the app before installing new version (removes then fails to install update), also I have just learned to undo partition and happened to loose all data on card while doing so. Was a shocker to me. I have lost some apk apps that were not on market and can't get those apps from market to install now. I lost adobe air and superuser for sure and can't get them to re-install.

It's happens with adobe air too, and something else i didn't catch with the triangle with ! in middle on taskbar before a reboot.
I am running http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352
And I lost ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1 when I had to flash RA 1.8.0 to get pri 1.77_003.zip to flash. CW fails to flash in rom manager ever since I got pri update to flash with RA. Have made several attempts to get it with failure since update to new pri.
Hope I don't have to re-root with superuser app files to get it back.
That should have covered all details as to where I am at now.
Please help with something if you can.
Yes this thread is a question.

Questions are:
Does anyone have the superuser apk that will install, adobe air, and any apk's I may have forgotten that might show up later in thread? (will post as I remember or realize they are gone)

[Q] ClockworkMod Recovery

I'm sure most of you are familiar with the "2 white bars when booting into recovery issue" so I have a favor to ask. I'm running the 2.5.0.5 recovery on my HTC incredible and needed to do some stuff from recovery. It seems like recovery is working, I just cant see the menu options. Can someone post the menu items (and order of course) so I can use it blind? I just need the main menu and partitions menu. Thanks!

just go to rom manager, all recoveies and install the new one. I think it adresses the slcd screen problem

Awesome, thanks. Can you also show me the mounts and storage menu?

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. With 2.5.1.1 The screen just went nuts and flashed a bunch of colors. 2.5.1.0 and 2.5.0.1 both had white bars. At some point I had an older version of the recovery mod that worked but then when I installed ROM manager it forced me to install the recovery mod which caused the white bars problem.

SOLUTION
It turns out the recovery is fully functional, you just can't see it on the screen. So, you can do all the mounting from adb. The best part is you don't even have to know the paths to mount. If you type
Code:
mount -a
from an adb shell it mounts all the partitions (except the sdcard for some reason).

Nice to know. Thanks

Sounds like you have a slcd screen. I had the same problem. Go to this link. Once you flash through Hboot it works perfectly. Better than messing around with it in the dark! Hope that helps.

Follow what is suggested in the guide from the link provided above.
Execute this command from ADB or a Terminal Emulator app from the Marketplace: cat /proc/mtd
According to the post, your Erasesize will then be stated, either 20000 (PVT old) or 40000 (PVT new). It further goes on to mention that if you have a PVT new device, your phone has a different NAND chip, with a bigger pagesize and changed partition offsets, therefore, tools such as ClockWorkmod, AlphaRev, and some custom ROMs will need to be adjusted to work with this change.
Those with an Erasesize of 20000 are the lucky ones and would not have received the recovery errors when attempting to flash or backup their roms.
If your device has an Erasesize of 40000, then you were not so lucky and will be required to use the modified custom CWM-AlphaRev Recovery 2.5.1.3 and install it with unrEVOked in the meantime for a temporary fix.

Twrp issues

I've always used CWM but I see everyone basically recommending it. I've tried it in the past and I've never had it work probably, they just updated it to 2.4.2.0, so I figured I'd give it a shot. The time zone is set, time never is correct, battery is no where near correct, that doesn't bother me, however, I cannot make a backup. I CAN and do, but once I reboot and enter recovery again, it doesn't show up under restore. The backup is still in my phone though via root explorer. I usually fast boot flash the .IMG file, but I also used goo manager to just see if somehow it got corrupt. To be honest the only two features I like are being able to name your backups, and multi zip flashing is neat. What the ****?
TL;DR
Toro user
TWRP doesn't keep backups, date and battery info are incorrect.

backups should be in /data/media/0/TWRP/...
because the virtual sdcard is in /data/media/0/ for android 4.2 and above

That's just a redirect.
Just how like that's the same for:
/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emulated/legacy
/storage/sdcard0
/sdcard/
Are all the same directory, same files.
REGARDLESS, twrp should account for the 4.2 filesystem as you needed to update your recovery going to 4.2 to have these issues corrected and my clockwork touch recovery works fine, and I've used the newest twrp, so it makes no sense, I've even backed up my storage, deleted /data/media while doing a full cleanup to have twrp and my ROM create the correct directories for 4.2 and it still doesn't work.
If it wasn't the correct version it would keep creating /x/0/0/0 everytime I flashed a new ROM which it doesn't.
I'm over it as twrp only has those two features which doesn't bother me and the interface is ugly IMHO.

It's not a redirect. /data/media/0 is the physical location of the data. The other locations are either fuse mounts or symlinks that point back to this location.

Can't recover all my formatted stuff.

Hi guys this is my first post in xda developers but i've always solved my troubles with your help. But now i really need to expose my problem, cause actually i can't find a solution even if there are many posts about it.
I changed my clockworkmod from 6.0.1.0 to 6.0.4.5 to flash a 4.4 android version rom on my galaxy w.
everything went okay, i guess but i had some issues with photo gallery (kinda everything duplicated, so i had a bunch of ''useless-double-files'').
One day later I decided to go back to my 4.0 rom and here the mess begins. I tried a restore from cwm but i couldn't because there was an error about restoring /data (but there's still the recovery date in that list) so I re-flash the 6.0.1.0 cwm and the 4.0 android rom, but when i turn off my phone all my pictures was GONE.
I plug my device to my computer and it says that the available space is almost full, like when the mess wasn't happen, but when i browse the pictures i can't find them. :crying:
I tried this and everything goes til this:

}
(even if my .raw is only 8mb???? )
edit: i looked up in partitions of my phone here and i re-did all this but downloading mmcblk0 instaed of mmcblk0p12 that was only 8mb. this is goin over 1,80 gb. is this the correct partition?
how can I turn .raw file in files?
Please help me guys, i literally waste my all day.
(Sorry for my bad english tho)

(sorry for double posting) i've got news..
i finally got my .raw / .vhd files. they are
mmcblk0p28 (that is my mnt/sdcard stuff 1,7 gb like my internal storage phone is. it's 100% full but i didn't find much.. only small pictures)
mmcblk0p17 (that is /data and i find not much pictures in this)
then i tried mmcblk0 that was the largest file (the whole phone i guess?) but when I attach it as a vhd in disk management it comes already partitioned and allocated. what does it mean??
should i give up? i will never get my pictures back? :crying:
