I cant get SD card files to show in Clockwork recovery. It shows on usb connection and otherwise no problem, but not in recovery.
I flashed to Bubby stock kernal now without CWM and it works sweet. 3650 quadrant w/out overclock.
Odin'ed Bubby CWM / Bubby Stock / Zedo v3 / Bubby Stock and now I have full root with stock kernel. Great job.
I will need to use recovery eventually though so if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Someone said to put SU file in root so files would display, but I am not sure what that means.

So I've never been able to get an official response so I figured id just post it...
What are the methods to get back to rfs/original cwm if I want to? For both methods? By this I mean:
1. The cwm 2.x.x.2 -- the only thing I heard was that if I get myself into the original cwm (I think 3 finger salute gets you there by default), I can flash any ROM (say, the di18 rom and modem) and it'll automatically reformat to rfs. Is this true? And does it get rid of the other cwm?
2. The cwm 3.x.x.x -- seeing as how this seems like the easiest way to get ext4, I would definitely want to use this method. But what I'm getting is this cwm only does ext4..so aside from odin'ing myself back to stock or whatever, how would I go back to old cwm/rfs?
My point here is that I would love to avoid having to use odin for anything (except getting to dk28 of course). My laptop usbs are sketchy sometimes.
Please please please some clarification. And don't tell me to read posts or don't do it if I'm scared or anything like that...if you can't answer my question then don't reply. I've followed dameon from the beginning of this and it still isn't clear.

Currently, the only way to go back to RFS is with Odin. Clockwork 3 should support various file systems, but I don't know if anyone has a utility to reformat a partition into RFS. I haven't seen one, but that doesn't mean much. If there is one, then it would be possible. If not, then we're stuck with odin.

Ok. So say I want to odin back to "stock" dk28. Does this also erase any modified cwms? (Tho I have a feeling it gets rid of any cwm redirector and goes back to stock recovery) I'm sorry if that's a dumb question.

remember to run a BACKUP with CM and Titanium before you convert and/or revert to any file system. best practices...

If you odin back to stock DK28, you will lose Clockwork Recovery. Unless you use a tar file that has Clockwork baked in.
Need help I installed midnight rom v2.2 today I did the recommended wipes as instructed. I had cwm 4.0.1.5 and did my backup twice. When I installed midnight every thing went good but then during reboot it just rebooted back into cwm 5.0.2.3 I've pulled the battery and nothing. I can't even get into my restore files ......did flashing the new cwm erase the backup?????I'm stuck what do I do???????
in the older 4.x cwm backups are on the internal sd card
in the newer 5.x cwm backups are on the external card.
(may be the other way around)
as long as you didnt format the actual sd cards your alright the backups are still there.
i think from cwm you can mount both to a pc and just copy the clockwork folder from one to the other. though i may be wrong.
might be easiest to odin a kernel that has the old 4x cwm
check the dev section there are a few floating around.
edit this kernel has the old cwm as both a flashable zip from inside cwm
and a .tar from odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284092
sometimes it takes more than 1 wipe/format to fully clear or you could have a bad download.
there are also a few full system .tar files that will get you back up and running on a stock system.
Thanks I used Odin to reflash a kernel with the cwm I needed and was able to restore. Ill try to flash midnight against knowing I'm this now!
no prob.
may think about copying the backups to the other sd card too.
that way they are still there even on the newer 5x cwm if you have a problem.
Would it work if I upgrade to zedomax v6.02 it comes with cwm5 same as what comes in midnight rom2.2 that way I don't go through the same problem if it happens again?
it should but your best bet would be to update to that kernel with cwm5
then create a new backup before continuing.
If your phone boots into CWM after a battery pull, just select reboot system now and that will boot the phone up. I see that on my phone as well at times. Not sure what causes it but that always fixes it for me.

Problem solved i just reflashed the rom and it booted up just fine. It works great. Very good rom!

PLEASE HELP! iv searched and searched! but im stuck in a WEIRD CASE!
after i use ODIN to flash a custom kernal with CWM it works fine.. i can boot up CMW but when i FLASH ANY ROM, after boot it loads the sprint screen.. and the "stock" looking home, BUT i cant go back to CMW. it goes to STOCK recovery.
WEIRD?
and NOW after i successfully flashed one of starburst early roms, it boots his rom (but i lose CMW! but i think im still rooted) and must flash CMW kernal to flash something else. so basically i can only use CMW ONCE!
and now i want to flash starburst latest rom but every time i try to flash it after using odin to flash kernal it goes BACK TO OLD starburst!
i dono whats going on.. seems like i cant flash anything or root phone properly.
ANY help would be appreciated.
i used (in odin):
Eg30 PLUS
STOCK CWM5
and i used the FORMAL ALL in CMW before any flash
Format all? I don't remember seeing that option in CWM but either way I'd stop using it. Just use 'wipe data/factory reset' or manually format the data partition.
If you're formatting everything(?) then you could be wiping the partition containing CWM.
Suppose to b formatting /system.. When going from one rom to the other

sorry i ment to say im using Calkulin FORMAL ALL.. its formats whats necessary before a flash
I think i had the same problem. Once flashed first kernel i could NOT get cwm to come up. Only nandroid recovery. I think what finally got everything to work right was that when i flashed the kernel again, i took out the sd card. I think that when i was flashing the kernel it was getting mixed up between internal and external sd's. Haven't had any touble since.
Just reinstall same kernel but take out sd card first.

I've used SFHubs Odin OC to move from ICS back to GB, and then the auto root tool to inject custom recovery. Specifically EL29 Odin OC and then Auto root Rogue Recovery. Several times, no trouble. From my laptop. Recently I used the same laptop to root my friends E4GT with El29 Odin OC (worked just fine) and then Auto root to install Rogue recovery. When I boot into recovery it looks and acts typical. But the recovery cannot properly flash any roms or properly restore a nandroid. It looks normal, but flashes zips too quickly and upon reboot I get a soft brick (hangs at splash screen). Luckily I was able to pull battery and get back to Odin mode.
Does anyone know why this happened? Is the auto root failing because I'm using the same laptop for two different E4GTs? Is there a ghost device borking the recovery installation? Thanks in advance for your help.
issues
Ive had the same thing happen to me.I did 2 things different at the same time so I dont know which one actually helped.
Used a difderntt USB cable(the cable that came for the.phone)
Deleted Odin the downloaded it again.
Worked after that I hope this helps.

Are you sure your friend's phone has an external sdcard?
If not, pay attention to commands that work on internal or external cards. Some areas you toggle internal/external mode. Some areas you choose specific options that work with internal or external.

**********************
First of all, thank you for all your awesome work. I am honored by your reply.
I am not sure exactly what you mean by toggling external vs internal. Rogue gives you the option to choose where to read from or nandroid to; I typically use the external SD.
Yes, my friend's E4GT does have an external SD card. Rogue recovery did write to it when I nandroided her EL29 setup, and it did read the install zip from the SD card as well. I wiped with Calkulin's format-all, then installed the rom (in this case Phantom's excellent Blazer). I knew something was wrong when it flashed, because it flashed way too quickly. After the reboot and subsequent Galaxy S2 splash screen to infinity, I pulled the battery, booted to Odin mode, restored EL29 thanks to your fantastic Odin OC, injected Rogue thanks to your swanky Autoroot tool, attempted another rom flash, same result, Odin OC, back to EL29 stock, Autooot again. Then I attempted to restore the nandroid of her EL29 setup, and that resulted in an MD5 error, which also led to a soft brick. So I Odin OC'd once again and called it a day.
My phone has never had this problem. I think I'll Odin OC and Autoroot tonight, and then restore one of my nandroids just to see if it works. I don't know whats up, but the trouble started when a second phone was added to the equation.

Basically when CWM comes back right away from an operation, usually some error occurred. One error might be using an external sdcard when it isn't present. There are other possible errors, but that was the most obvious one to ask about.

I appreciate your help. Thanks for FD10 btw, i just got done OC'ing it...awesome!
Ok i had this same problem. After OCing back to stock rooted EL29 Reinstall CWM rogue with adb auto root. This will give you a fresh copy of CWM rogue and shouldn't throw you into a boot loop. Also make sure you do a full data wipe and wipe all cashes then run Calkins format all zip prior to running the nandroid backup. Should be good. Hope this helps.
Hey guys im having a issue where i cant install some/most apps from the market. I get an error '' cant install apps to usb or external sd storage''. Thr issue only happens once i install agats ff11 recovery. When i used sfhubs ff11 odin oc the apps will install fine, but once i odin agats ff11 recovery it stops working. I can unmount the sd card and install the apps just fine but thats the only way. I also can no longer move apps to sd after flashing recovery. Ive searched and tried the unmounting sd trick. Ive read about deleting some market temp files qill fix the problem but i never could find the temp files on my phone. If anyone could provide any help or point me to what i should try next i would greatly appreciate it. I know i can just no t flash agats recovery but i hate the stock recovery. Ive also wiped cache and dalvik but it didnt fix my problem. Thanks in advance guys i appreciate everyones work here.
I am on Agat's ff02 and have the exact same issue. Tried installing Ringtone Maker and get the same error.

Thanks for your response. i havent noticed the issue until i upgraded from FF09 the other day, but then again i havent downloaded any apps lately. i just flashed agat's FF09 recovery and it has the same issue.
i would have posted this in his thread in the dev section but i dont have enough post yet so i posted it here.
