Clockwork Recovery 2.0.0.5 messes up root/recovery?

This is really odd, i just updated Clockwork Recovery to 2.0.0.5, i then tried to flash to behnam's cyanongen mod 5.0.8-test7. I used Clockwork to download the rom + googleapps..ok good so far, once the download was complete i was offered to backup the existing rom and or wipe data...i chose simply to wipe. The phone then asked me to confirm the reboot, which i did, and it rebooted the phone but now brings up the black phone with a red triangle. If i press vol up + power i access the recovery menu but haven't attempted a flash because i don't know why i now don't have a properly functioning recovery? I seem to still have root access from within my currently installed rom too :S
Help lol?

I had exactly the same thing with the cyanogen rom and rom manager. If you go ahead and press volume up and power while in the red triangle screen, the recovery will carry on and work as normal. I've done it a few times now.

and if when you press those buttons the recovery doesn't automatically launch, click on apply update.zip, this is the recovery image

Hmmmm interesting...so re-applying the recovery update.zip will just fix it? Wonder what changed in clockwork to make this happen?

Correct, I'm not sure why it happens randomly, that is how you'd access the recovery image, the image is the update.zip on your SD card. So apply that and you're there

i'm using the latest recovery and i can't mount the sd card anymore with /moun sdcard it gives error /dev/block/mmcbl0 can't be mounted,
never the less when i start amonra recovery batch and then go back to connect with adb shell to the still running clockwork recovery it works to mount the sd card strange behaviour

excuse me for this noob question... but what is this Clockwork Recovery?

Do a search for it on this forum, or try searching rom manager in here. There are at least 4-5 threads on it. One of which is very big! Try searching for 'fake flash'

this is not an issue, it is a feature of the new clockwork
i have spoken to Koush and what this means is that you are not using Apps2sd so there is nothing to be backed up.
the error should therefore be ignored as it is not a problem

Erm, this sounds like a bug. Can you join IRC:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=koush
Ask for me, I'll be available.

I'm using apps2sd so the ext partition is there and schould be backed up!
i reverted to 1.8.9.2 (i think) and i backs up my ext partition just fine !
i'll join irc later !

Thanks to Koush for the assistance, top man.
Seems that some how the 'command' directory and 'update.zip' were missing from my /cache/ :s

koush, really nice support, fixed the sd-ext not mounting and not backing up in nandriod bug, and the mount sdcard bug within an hour over irc perfect!

could you post the solution koush gave?

just update to the latest recovery image (2.0.1.0)

mine's only offering 2.0.0.9
i talked to koush as well, nice fellow!

scroll down in Rom manager to older images, there you ll find 2.0.1.0

Unfortunately still not working for me on the latest Recovery (2.0.1.0)
Tried to backup my sd-ext (since that's where my A2SD apps are) and got:
Code:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(Invalid argument)
Could not mount sd-ext, sd-ext backup may not be supported on this device. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
I think my partition is ext4 if that makes a difference.

Can you send me an ext4.ko? Recovery currently only supports ext3.

Can't Mount Sd Card in CWM

So i went to flash a ROM and now it says while flashing that the flash was aborted because the system can't mount the SD card. I'm using the newest CWM and have flashed stuff before. Not sure what to do, it wont let me make backups, restore, or flash anything.

Did you use the Mounts menu to try to manually mount the sd?
Also, Which method did you use to get into CWM?

Ya i went into the menus and manually unmounted and then remounted the SD card but that didn't do anything. I used the typical three finger method to boot into CWM like i always do.

i think
I believe this has something to do with the way in which the SD card is formatted I also cannot mount in to usb storage in CWM i get an E: error

Have you guys tried to "Reboot recovery" from the "Adavnced" menu in CWM, and then try to flash the ROM?

I've had this happen before, it was a formatting problem. The easiest fix I found was to back up SD-card data on your pc, reformat the card from the Android system, then copy your data back over. CWM should be able to mount your card now.

I had a problem with the mount dropping mid flash it was my sd for some reason was chipped I always keep backup files

Just flash another version of CWM and u'r done. I faced this problem after flashing Siyah Kernel v2.3 which includes CWM 5.0, and I tried all the methods online; formatting, error-checking, etc... nothing succeed!
Finally I flashed another kernel (Which includes CWM 4.0) and it worked fine.

Thanks!
Same thing happened to me just now... found this thread.. pushed new CWM in ODIN - Worked like a charm.. Fixed in 2 minutes..

Flashing another CWM (ACS recovery this time...) via Odin did not fix the issue. Going to try the format /sdcard fix and see... argh!
*Edit* aaaand that didn't work either. WTF... I literally just got this phone 2 hours ago... brand new.

delete the .androidsecure folder on your sd that worked for me formatting wont work if you put your files on the same with me because i always copied that folder along too

[SOLVED] e:unknown volume for path [sd-ext]

I'm using Revolutionary CWM Recovery 4.0.1.4 that came with the revolutionary.io root method...
I formatted and partitioned the sdcard using this recovery
I have 16gb card - 2048mb ext4 - 64mb linux-swap - and the rest fat32
everytime i goto wipe dalvik i get e:unknown volume for path [sd-ext]
everytime i go to nandroid backup it says no sd-ext found
.android_secure folder is present on the sdcard
i know i have sd-ext, why do i see this error?

I had the same problem and I was able to fix it by formatting the SDCARD and then creating new partition. If you do, make sure you backup your data first.

i thought that too... so i copied contents of the sdcard to the pc.... formatted and repartitioned the sdcard, and copied contents back...
still getting the error... i know 100% that i have a sd-ext partition...
i'm wondering if its a flaw or bug in the recovery.img im using, which is the revolutionary cwm 4.0.1.4 that came with the revolutionary.io root method

After talking with attn1 on irc #alpharev
he re-wrote the Revolutionary CWM Recovery 4.0.1.4 to support SD-EXT
so for anyone still having this issue, here is the recovery he fixed and gave me

[Q] Need ADB sideload

Hello.
I have problem with my phone, i format all memory, and now i have no recovery or any rom to flash it,from what i know and read, only option for me is ADB sideload rom to phone, cause like now i can only go in fastboot, flash new recovery, that it.
The problem is, i think only twrp have ADB sideload function, and .......i can't use it, touch don't work in twrp, volume up/down also do nothing. is there any other method to put rom on card in phone ? Also i can't connect phone to my pc, for some reasons computer don't see my phone, i'm able to flash new recovery through cmd, but can't make pc to see phone as usb mass storage. So now i stuck. anyone have something similar ? And figure out how to put rom in memory card ?

How in the World you managed to do so???
Erasing recovery???
Well, I never used ADB push. The easiest way is to flash Philz recovery again, mount sd card and copy the ROM.zip to sd card.

And why double posting problems. Old thread is only 3 days old

Flash this recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
And do whats been told. Mount the sdcard in the mounts and storage menu. Wait a couple of minutes (yes literally minutes) it will pop up !
And if you did search the twrp thread (touch not working) you would have found the repacked 2.4.0.0 -JB twrp recovery. It's been discussed there many......many times !

i can't do it cause in recovery i can't mount phone as storage so i can't put rom on it. having only recovery give me nothing if i'm not able put rom in phone. if problem will be only recovery, then i wouldn't bother you guys. my main problem is that pc don't see phone, all drivers are installed, yet nothing works.

i try viper, cm11,project x revolution, always had error 7
i put rom on sd card in phone, flash boot img, shut down, disconnect cable, boot in recovery, wipe and stuff, install rom, error 7, i never disconnect cable during installation, i even don't touch phone more than i need to.

Its the recovery i guess. Have you tried this.....rom is now on the phone so that problem is done. Flash the 5.15 recovery and install the rom.zip.......spit out ideas and thinking out loud.....these are all things to test.
