Hello, I tried out the new CM9 Beta 3 on my Gio, but before I flashed it, i've made a backup with CWM. Now after flashing, I've decided to switch back to my old backup, now I get an error while restoring:
"failed on /dev/block/stl12"
I have CWM v5.0.2.7 rfs + ext4 installed.
Please, can someone help?
I'm not sure, but the rfs+ext4 CWM should only work on rfs. If you're using CM, then you should've installed ext4 only CWM. I may be wrong.

You need to use CWM(ext4+RFS) with any stock or stock based ROM. Unless it has been converted to work with Ext4 partitions, but this would be stated by the developer.

It doesn't matter. Backups should be working fine when CWM complains about sd-ext. Stock ROMs don't support external partitions on SD card anyway.

With custom kernel they do
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
If you install custom kernel it isn't stock ROM stricktly speaking
"Stock" means "what comes from publisher", and I think neither Samsung nor cellular operators released any "custom kernels" with SD-ext support.
how do i install cf-root.first i install with ext4 recovery and format my device to ext4 and then when i install cf-root and then i reboot my phone is and just stuck on "galaxy gio" logo.does am i done a wrong method?
You need to make a nandroid backup, then flash ext4formatter, then restore your backup and flash cf-root
Format = clean
So everything gets wiped, you wiped everything and then installed a kernel, but it has no system to run so it cant boot

extformatter is the same as wiping.
it wipes every partition on your phone, and then sets the filesystem to use EXT4 instead of RFS.
first flash a stock rom again, or restore your backup if you had one.
instructions:
- install custom recovery supporting EXT4
- do a nandroid backup
- flash ext4formatter.zip
- restore nandroid
- flash cf-root
-reboot
thanks now i m should be able to install adrenaline engine

I have been running AOKP ICS for a while now and I had TWRP as my recovery. Well after flashing around a bit I had to reflash a rom and was unable to inject TWRP for it to boot. As a result I have CWM 6.0.1.3 I think. Is this the latest and why would I have a backup fail to create a MD5, therefore rendering that backup useless? CWM seems fine for flashing and wiping, but backups are super important. Any help would be awesome!

6.0.1.3 is the latest and I know, it can't make a nandroid backup
If you want make a backup on CWM just back to 5.0.2.7
Or use TWRP, I like TWRP

I'm kinda in the same boat. I ran into this issue when I was trying-out CM9. Now I'm on CM10 9/14 Nightly, which installed with CWM 6.0.1.3. I'm ready to flash the NS4G modem AIO and give it a spin now that the roaming issue is fixed. However, I want to be safe about it and run a nandroid backup first. If I can't restore my nandroid using CWM 6.0.1.3, can I use 5.0.2.7 with CM10?
Can I just CWM flash 5.0.2.7 over 6.0.1.3 or am I better off flashing TWRP?
Thanks in advance,
Al
Why does cm roms install a recovery any ways?!? I remember back in froyo rom days around hear. Some Devs *****ing about roms installing recoverys & apks to /data/ every one at that time came to agree that Roms SHOULD NOT INSTALL A RECOVERY.
I mean if a new cm rom needs a new cwm recovery then FLASH the new recovery reboot recovery & flash the rom

Believe it had to do MTD. Last I read about this, been a while, the 5.5 version of CWM was specifically for MTD and the 5.0 version was BML. I could very well be incorrect, but that's what I recall reading a while ago.
5.0.2.7 works on MTD
IDK I just miss having the cmw flashable cwm recovery zips. Luckely I have got gotten in to a pickle like many have

OK -- Now I get why I couldn't flash 5.0.2.7 over 6.0.1.3 when I was trying to get back out of CM9 a month or so ago. However, I ended up Odining back to stock and installed TPR MTD and I could swear that I ended up with CWM 5.0.2.7 on MTD.
I'm soooo confused.....
I just want to make a restorable nandroid of my CM10.

Yup. I've never been able to restore a nandroid using 6.0.1.3. I always get an MD5 checksum error. To be honest, I haven't tried in a while, but that was my experience a month or so ago when on CM9. I have no idea if the problem lies in the CWM backup or the restore process.
I'll give it another shot now to see if I can backup and restore my CM10. Stay tuned.

Well, Ahhhl be! (my best Gomer Pyle impression -- you youngsters can Google Gomer Pyle). I ran a nandroid in 6.0.1.3 and advance-restored data successfully. I don't understand what all the complaining is about....

This question has been answered by the second post, to keep things short if you want to flash a rom you need to mount /preload and /data from within CWM
Hello, sorry if there is another thread like this.
I tried to install Lite Rom v2.8 on my GT-I8160
I am not really a beginner (i have a HTC myself) but the information on the rom thread is kinda... not available ^^''
The GT-I8160 is running 4.1.2 I8160XXMG2 (stock kernel and rooted) with CWM6 on the external SD card (no clue why it doesn't permanently install itself, i guess it has to do with the fact that the phone is running a stock kernel?) i tried to install the rom within CWM (install zip from SD card) but it is stuck on repeating the boot animation ._. it works after recovering the backup though. Does someone know what i did wrong?
I think you didn't mount preload. Try to flash Lite Rom 2.8 again and in Cwm mount system, preload and data before flashing the Rom.
Tell me if it worked

Sounds odd, it's not hard to tell the updater-script to mount preload as well, instead of having to do it manually
Anyways, our system space is limited, so a lot of the apps are installed in preload/symlink/system/app first and then symlinked from system/app.
