Hi guys, i want flash Cyanogen Mod 7.2 on my phone, but I need Clockwork Recovery Mod First. In the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650), under 5.0.2.7, there is options for either ext4 or ext4+rfs. I am currently using stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread, which one should i use?
Ext4 + rfs
Sent from my GT-S5660
Thank you very much! If i may ask, what is the reasoning behind that? Also, i am looking to install Cyanogen mod 7.2. Should i install the ext4 formatter? It says
"If you from stock / custom rom based on rfs filesystem, u must flash ext4-formatter.zip before flash CyanogenMod. Otherwise you'll stuck on android logo because it cant mount rfs filesystem!"
Does this apply to me?
Its for newer version of CWM wich is under construction, I flashed from stock but extformatter isnf needed

I flashed from stock also, but alway get stuck at backing up cache
I managed to make a backup ones, but that one had hash check errors.
I asked a couple of times in the original thread, and even pm'ed Phiex.
But it seems I'm on everyones ignore list

Try to roll back first to ginger and then flash it again start from flashing cwm, i recommend using phiex rom, it's stable and not too difficult to flash

I know how to flash a custom rom, but I really don't want to flash it yet, because I'm (patiently ) waiting until CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0-GT-S5660-GalaxyICS-KANG-beta5 is ready.
And I agree that would probably fix it, but only because the system partition get's formatted to EXT4.
I just want to be able to backup my rooted RFS stockrom before flashing a custom rom.
PS.
Sorry for hijjacking this topic, didn't mean to do that.

Hi! I have a question. Is it possible to make some kind of super reset to Galaxy Gio so it will look like out of the box if i need to take it back to the shop? I hope some one can answer my question.
W/ best,
Jyrx.
Factory reset - resets all to default.
Clear cache, dalvik etc, then flash a stock rom if you have flashd roms before, delete superuser.apk if you had root acces ... Stock rom flash required if you used clockworkmod recovery and custom roms or boot.img..

Will flashing a stock rom remove clockworkmod recovery aswell?

Yes , if you flash a stock rom via odin, you can see ut also writes recovery.rfs or something like that.

Flash an official firmware by ODIN and your phone will be like first time - Stock Recovery, no root, etc.
Hi,
I' am trying to restore CWM from TWRP using Marcusant's zip file but TWRP does not allow the zip to be flashed and gives out a "unknown md5 error" message. I' am getting this message for every flashable file of mine (each of these have worked without any problem with cwm before) and I' am unable to flash any other Rom after flashing MIUI rom...wana get out of it and continue flashing other roms...
I cannot post into Marcusant's thread as my "10 posts" goal is yet to be reached ! Can someone help ?
Thanks

You could try flashing CWM using Odin. Also, questions go in the Q&A forum.
Post two more times in this thread and you'll be able to tell Marcus about it in his thread

If you've flashed twrp and are on Mtd you cannot just Odin in cwm again. You must flash the restore .zip

Don't do this... if your on mtd, which you are if your using twrp you can't odin in any recovery... you either have to odin to complete stock or hope the restore.zip ends up working... or a kernel flash works....

This should flash just fine... don't uncheck anything other than inject twrp.

Try to Odin back to stock and go from there.

Gonna have to odin back to stock and start over. Everything you need can be found in the sticky in development how to unbrick... (while its not a brick, this is the method you need)

Ah, yea that's right. I usually just Odin back to stock anytime I have an issue with hardware or the recovery partition. Starting over from a fresh odin is always nice in my eyes.

Try using TWRP 2.3.3.0 as your recovery system instead, it's more up to date and is reliable. Just flash it through Odin, afterwards, you should be able to install and boot the ROMs perfectly.

If you don't mind switching to TWRP as the guy above said, then I would switch. If you like CWM, then make sure you aren't using the super wipe scripts on CWM versions other than 5.0.X

IMO,, wiping as well as formatting operations in cwm isnt necessary,, because,, when you flash a device thru odin,, the phone's cwm recovery,, even your su app,,, will be totally erased,,,
so for me,, just reflash thru odin,, and you're good to go,,,
by the way,, im from the Philippines,, but i've flashed my phone with I8150XXLM8 - Slovakia ,, and after the flashing is complete,, ive felt like im holding a brand new phone,,,
if you like,, you can choose any firmware you like from here,,
but of course,, since its your first time,, choose the one based on your region,,,
to avoid any network conflicts that you might meet ,, when you flash a stock rom other than your region-based ROM,,,,
for malaysia, i'm using i8150DXLM2

I am really scared of bricking my phone and wanted to ask xda to clarify and help me out putting a custom rom on my phone. I have had custom roms on my optimus v and htc one v but never a samsung device and im scared hearing about these bugs that brick your phone and whatever odins are. Can someone give me a guide to root/put a safe recovery on my phone then explain odins? Htc devices have nothing like these sorry if this thread was pointless, if anything just point me to a thread thanks

Rooting is rooting. Once you're rooted you can flash whatever you want. Just follow the guides and you'll be fine. If you figured out how to root htc, this is a breeze!

Yes, through odin, but if you want to flash custom roms, use el26 custom recovery. Roms come with their own kernel, some custom. But is you are rooted, and want to stay with your jb stock, you can flash agat's or garwynn's custom kernel, both have cwm.

Mobile Odin can not flash modems anyway, and yes, you can flash el26 cwm in the recovery your have now, as long as its zip format. Boot to recovery, flash el26, reboot into new recovery, flash rom, gapps, modem, reboot, enjoy.
