[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.

[Q] Hboot 2.02 and /system/ partition size

My old evo decided to commit suicide

Anyway got a new evo in, trying to get it rooted. Got as far as getting S-OFF which seems to be important:
Supersonic EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
Hboot 2.02.0000

Flash MISC, run the pc36img. Everything seems sane, then i do the rageagainstthecage exploit again, load on a recovery image. as soon as i reboot to recovery my /system/ partition size gets cut in half and then i can never boot again because random files are missing. Also flashing images fails because half the files dont copy. same with nandroid restores.
results from df before:
/system: 358400K total, 270140K used, 88260K available (block size 4096)
results from df inside recovery after mount -a
/dev/block/mtdblock4 179200 131460 47740 73%

I cant seem to find anyone else with this problem, ive tried it several times with different recovery images. WTF am i missing?

Have you tried unrevokeds unrooter? I used it when i got my second evo with 2.2 on it and i had no problems. Maybe the root method is causing the problems.

I had the same problem. I ran RUU using fastboot and it restored me to stock.

Same issue...
I was able to get su with hboot Super one click.. I can post a place to download if needed. My issue is with the crappy quality of this hardware ver (003) my wife has the original and i love it.

also
I also cannot get any roms to load... I used the traditonal push with no success... Although i have noticed on significant thing that seems to keep happening.... its always fails with the boot.img. I tried loading Fresh through the Rom manager and all it would do is kick me to recovery.... try to do it manually and all roms fail on the boot img.

[Q] Help freeing up Internal Storage (nandroid backups)

I'm currently low on space on my internal storage and I believe the problem is old nandroid backups from back when I used CWM. I now use TWRP and it doesn't see my old backups. Where can I find the backups so that I can delete them?

If all you wanna do is deal with the nandroid backups on your device, I use Nandroid Manager (from Google Play store, its free). It finds the paths where any and all backups on the device may be stored, and lists them for you. You can then go and delete them or browse them if you want...

I've tried that, but it only shows my most recent backup that was made with TWRP. It doesn't show any of my old backups that I made when I was still using CWM

Download Rom Manager in the play store from Clockworkmod and go to Manage and Restore Backups and then delete them.

Use a file browser and go to sdcard-clockworkmod and they should all be there. Cut and paste them to a computer if you need to save them. You can always use titanium back as well as app from above to extract anything you need.

Sorry for the late response, I've been busy with school and just got around to attempting to fix this issue to no avail. I tried reflashing CWM to see if it could see old recoveries but I couldn't see any. I'm beginning to think it's not actually old nandroid files, but something else taking up all the storage instead. I've used diskusage and root explorer to try and find something that was taking up lots of room, but nothing was taking up much space. I don't have many apps, and there's no way the rom should be taking up this much room. This thread over at androidcentral shows other people having the same problem. This is getting pretty bad as I can't update or install any apps.

After doing some digging around in diskusage I finally found the culprit. All of the old recoveries had been moved into /data/lost+found. Deleting the contents fixed all my problems! Hopefully this will help someone else out, it has been driving me crazy.

[Q] Internal storage full almost full...

Hey guys
I've searched around a lot for this but haven't found anything that helps me...Basically recently my phone has been telling me that there is around ~520mb free left on internal storage.
Here's some pics from "Storage" and from the StorageAnnilyser app.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Everything I have (pictures, etc) is stored on my external SD, so I really don't know what is clogging up my internalSD at this point...
Also, I have made two CWM backups, which are not showing up in either internalSD/Clockworkmod, or on my externalSD/Clockworkmod as I have it set to.
Any ideas where they can be found?
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks guys,
Elliott

Bump

Did you check under TWRP. That would be the place your backup would go to with the newer TWRP recovery.

I'm using CWM.

Use a root explorer and browse to /data/Lost+found if it's packed, delete everything

Empty but thanks...any other ideas?

Could try Diskusage from play store. It gives a little bit more info of what files are taking up space. Can be set to scan Internal/SD and if you have root, even the main directory. (personally never used the root scan) It reminds me of a pc app called Windirstat. It will even allow you to delete files straight from the app.

I actually just ran into this same problem myself last week. In your storage analyser app (the same one i use btw) change the path its looking at to the /data partition (the pie chart button). If it is as i suspect your lost+found folder is probably brimming with junk file fragments. This folder is protected even beyond normal root elevations and doesn't show the files contained within. I was able to use File Manager! from the play store, change the permissions on the folder and delete some of the junk but there were still some that it couldn't delete for some reason. I deleted the contents of the folder using the file manager in TWRP which supersedes the permissions on the folder, in CWM you can probably do the same with the AROMA file manager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952862. Its probably worth mentioning im using an AOSP based ROM and the permissions may be different in TW.

Thanks guys.
Disk usage worked great for me in ways that storage analyser never did.
I found my CWM backups in the root directory of my phone (not even in internal storage). I moved/deleted a bunch of them and problem solved...
Don't know why the backups are saved there but whatever...going to be saving to external storage from now on (where I thought they were being saved originally)

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:
