[Q] Droid Radio Update Issues

Hey All,
I have literally spent the past 6+ hours trying to update my radio to version 2.x on my Droid Incredible, and it isn't working. No matter what method I try, which image, or which ROM, nothing works.
What I am Currently Running:
Sky Raider 2.5.2 Vanilla
I am s-off
I ran the latest unrEVOked3 to gain root access
I downloaded the latest usb drivers
What is happening:
When I download PB31IMG.zip, I place it into my newly re-formatted FAT32 sdcard in the root directory. After that, I launch it into hboot, and try to have it run the update. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, it cannot find the image.
I have also tried the normal version of de-upgrading, but I get stuck on this step and cannot proceed any further.
Any help would be appreciated!
Zack

This should be in General.

There is no directory called root on the sdcard. What it means is to just put it on ur sdcard, do not put it in any folders. Just /sdcard/

Try making sure radio is named radio.img make sure amdroid-info.txt is ok, and make sure it is named PB31IMG.zip not pb31img.zip or .zip.zip
Or tcberg could be right, and you may be putting the file in a non-existing directory.

How will I know if amdroid-info.txt is "ok"?
I made sure it's named properly - my bad on that, and the directory. Saying root just meant the main directory on the sdcard, not in any folders.

I would either: download the file again, or take an android-info.txt from a splash screen zip

Do you know where I could find the latter of those two options?

The android info txt???? Its in all the solash screens..just go into tje themes subforum and there are like 5 threads on them....all you have to do is just rip the txt file out of there and place it in the radio zip

I apologize for my ignorance, this is the first android root I've done. But how would I go about doing that?

1. Download a splash screen zip from the themes forum
2. Find the android-info.txt
3. Copy it to your desktop and paste it into the PB31IMG.zip file

you have to press power volume down and the dedicated camera button at once to gain access to the root of your sdcard

I would be willing to bet that PB31IMG.zip is actually PB31IMG.zip.zip on your sd. The file in windows should just read PB31IMG and nothing more.

lmao......

There is a known issue of the pmg file getting corrupted when downloading to your computer and transferring to your phone.trying downloading the file directly to your phone.

The problem is most likely that your sd card isn't formatted to fat 32. Backup the radio image format your card to fat 32 instead of fat put the image on the root of your sd and try again.
Make sure that the file isn't corrupted and that you are in fact s off. Download it again to be sure and re format as well. Either your card is formatted wrong or your image is corrupted.

You can also try messing with the format cluster size. Try default allocation size first, if that doesn't work tinker with the sizes.
Make sure you have the correct radio update file and do not change the file name at all. Here is a link to the correct one, download it and try again.

[Q] Another "sdcard\0" thread..

Soo, I know there's a lot of these threads around, but I can't find the answer I'm looking for. I'm wondering: After I flashed 4.2 I got this extra "0" folder on my internal sdcarrd. Can I just cut/paste the content of the "0" folder back to the original sdcard root? or will this have a negative effect on the storage?
Regards.

I had this issue earlier so i moved everything back to the root folder and deleted "0". If you are planning on flashing a few 4.2 roms i suggest you use the latest TWRP recovery or wait for the updated clockwork recovery because everytime you flash 4.2 roms they automatically create a 0 partition so you will end up with 0/0/0 etc depending on how many you flash

K, thanks!
I think I'll just copy the content of the "\0" folder back to the root, and stick with the ROM I'm on now. Then I'll update CWM when an update is released.

Aaargh.. I'm getting kinda pissed now..
When I try to copy the sd-content back to the root, it says that the device has stopped responding, or isn't connected. Can you tell me what is the standard root folder for the sd-content?

After installing a previous backup the was still a 0 folder so I copied all of the files to the root folder however it made the pictures unable to view

I've tried several methods to move my clockworkmod folder out of the "0" folder to the sdcard "root" to no avail.
I'm currently backing up everything from "0" to my desktop. Once that's done, how can I push the clockworkmod folder to the sdcard "root"?

Seems like there are some problems copying big folders over to the root. Try to first copy the CWM folder from your PC into some folder on the sd-root. Then, from your phone, open up a file explorer and copy the CWM folder to the root. Pretty weird, but it looks like it's working for me..
Edit: Yupp! worked for me. Hope you'll sort it out aswell.

What file explorer did you use? Every one that I've used takes me directly to the "0" folder when I hit "sdcard" thus I can't seem to paste the clockworkmod folder into sdcard root.

move it to /data/media
---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------
here's how it works
before the virtual link to /sdcard was /data/media
cwm was writing under /data/media so cwm folder would show up under /sdcard as well
now the virtual link to /sdcard is /data/media/0
that's because of multiuser (even if multiuser is not working on phones)
cwm is still wriyinb to /data/media so cwm golder eoll mot show up under /sdcard
solutions
1. to copy cwm foldrr on pc: move cwm folder from /data/media to /data/media/0 that is to /sdcard then attach phone to pc and copy folder from sdcard
2. to restore from a backup on your vomputer: attach phone to pc, create cwm folder on sdcard andcopy h erebackup folis, copy cwm foldef from /data/media/0 into /dara/media
it is normal to have a /data/media/0 which means /sdcsrd
it is not normal to have /data/media/0/0 which means /sdcard/0
the latter happens on your second installation etc.

I haven't updated to 4.2 yet because of this sdcard/0 issue I'm reading about
I don't care much about what's on my SD card besides my Nandroid backups so the only thing for me is: can I restore a backup from CWM if I move the "clockworkmod" folder from sdcard/0 back to the root of the SD card?
I assume there's no other adverse effects of all our files and stuff being on sdcard/0 instead of just sdcard root?

read my commeny above: yes, although cumbersone, yes

I'm thinking this is the appropriate thread to post this so here I go. I flashed the newly released 4.2 rooted stock image and there were a few problems :
1. I forgot to delete the cache/dalvik cache, which created a bootloop and completely messed up my device, and I had to wipe/factory data reset from the recovery to fix it (in which case I had to lose almost all of my data)
2. I accidently overwrote an existing nandroid backup of the previous (CM 10 stable) ROM I had made to restore just in case anything happens, so I was out of options to restore my nexus to a working state. I finally had to use the crashed ROM's nandroid backup using an advanced recovery so I had my photos, videos etc intact. I got it finally working but anyways,
3. I restored my apps+data using titanium backup. I wanted to go back to my CM10 backup which I had made using ROM manager and it was still present with the rest of my data. But when I selected the backup which made, the device restarted and gave me an error stating "SD CARD MARKER NOT FOUND" :crying:
Now I'm unable to restore or even make a new backup with ROM manager. And to add, I have like three folders for storage using up too much space on my sdcard :
1. root/sdcard - I have no idea where this came from but it sure has an awful lot of my files copied there
2. root/storage/sdcard0
3. root/storage/emulated - has two subfolders : 0, legacy
All of the above locations contain the same exact files and I just want my nexus back the way it was. I know I can flash CM10 right away but I just wanna get some help on how to delete and make changes to these added folders by properly moving the files without crashing the os.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am having this issue as well and am very very annoyed. Please help. Thanks. I cannot get into recovery manually or otherwise. Keep getting Andy with the red exclamation mark in his chest and must remove battery to reboot.

Fu#k rom manager and CWM use TWRP an rom toolbox pro an you will be fine on 4.2 JB.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Update: got it working.. had to flash back cm10 stable, move files around and get back the old ROM manager backup and restore it. Its fine now. Not to mention the 4.2 ROM was pretty unstable on my nexus, causing several reboots and sometimes it froze (especially when I connected it to my desktop) and I had to remove the battery and put it back in to get it working. Moreover the 4.2 rom screwed up the file system, making my nexus' SD card unreadable on any desktop. It just wouldn't install the drivers whatsoever. I'd wait for cm10.1 than try any other custom 4.2 from now on.

CWM problem

I am dealing with some issues here. I have a nandroid of CM10 from a just a couple of days ago, before I f'ed up my phone. The problem is that CWM can't seem to find its own backup?? I keep getting "Couldn't open directory", "No files found". Has anyone else had this issue??
It is the same version of CWM that I used to make the back up in the first place. Very frustrating.

is it the new version of CWM? did you move the backup off your phone then back on to it? if so, did you remember the blob folder?

This is same prob for me. I went to 4.2 from jbsourcery but want to go back and i get the same problem. cwm 6.0.1.0
I think there is a newer version of cwm so im going to try that first. but when i go to flash zip from sd card it says
0/
legacy/
obb/
not sure if that has anything to do with it though.....?

Nope same problem with updating to 6.0.1.5.

There are new mounting points in 4.2 because of multi-user-support.
Main user entry point is now /sdcard/0/ folder on your internal storage, all data is moved in there. So you have to manually copy and paste your backups to fit the folder where your custom recovery is expecting those backups.

but all 3 of those points have the same data...I can't copy from legacy to /0 or obb. They all have the backups there. i can't mount sdcard in recovery though....I think the only way is to flash a 4.1 ROM and then do a restore until a recovery comes out with 4.2 mounting support. Am I correct here?

Cwr backups don't work with TWRP
Edit: sorry didn't see k786 post

Copy your /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
This is where your stuff is mounted in 4.2
After restoring you will still have problems though. All you stuff that used to be in /sdcard will now be in /sdcard/0 so many things won't work. Again copy or move all contents of /sdcard/0 to /sdcard and you are back to how it was.
I did all the copying from Terminal Emulator because file explorers could not see anything inside /data/media but it's there. Typing 'su' first and then using 'ls' in Terminal Emulator will show what is in there, so use it. Use 'cp - r' to copy the folder. Needless to say you need to be rooted for this.

[Q] CWM Won't see backups

Hi guys. I figured it was time for a fresh install of CM 10.1 It didn't work out too well because TIBU wouldn't see my backups, but now CWM won't see my nandroids. I can find them under /storage/sdcard0/clockworkmod, but CWM doesn't see them. What can I possibly do?

Still nada showing up for backups.

Have you tried to manage them in the Rom Manager app? hit manage backups then you can manage/delete backups

No backups found by rom manager, but I can find them if I look myself.

That happened to me the first time, then I started to use Rom Manager Premium and in settings change the path and press the option "use external storage"in setting. If you look for this folder in the root you can find it on sdcard1(external sd)
If you enter the recovery by pressing the power buttom all your backups would be saved on this path if you are using a 4.2.2 rom (mnt-shell-emulated-clockworkmod).
Personally if I did that way, I copy/paste the back up on the external sd.

[Q] Where is my nandroid stored? [Solved]

Hi, rather basic question here. But I have CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery and I make an occasional nandroid backups with it. But I couldn't seem to locate where these backups are stored and how to clean them out.
Everything usually goes to the "SD" card at /storage/emulated/0. But I looked under "clockworkmod", "Android", etc. Could not find where these backups are hidden. CWM does not have the option to delete these backups so eventually I just end up with alot and I worry about running out of space whereever its being stored.
Edit: Solved. Its in data/media/clockworkmod/backup, but need a root file manager to see browse to that directory.

Try this to locate it

Data/media/clockworkmod/backup

I have nothing under the /storage/emulated/0/data folder.
Couldn't find it even with the DiskUsage app.
In CWM recover, its supposed to be under /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup, but I cannot find that directory at all.

It doesnt save them to the SD Card. As mentioned above, starting from the root directory, look in data/media/clockworkmod/backup.

"/data" is empty for me.
But I know that I have at least 3-4 nandroid backups in there and I've even restored too. So I know that they do exist.

What version of Android are you running?
---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------
And you should have stuff in the data folder wether you have backups or not. There should be system files in there as well. I have a feeling you are looking in the wrong data folder.

So I'm running android 4.3.1 (vanir).
Little confused, there are 2 "data" directories:
/data is empty
/storage/emulated/0/data has 2 folders: colornote and TitaniumBackup. But even in this folder, there really isn't much, the titaniumbackup folder is also empty.

Can you post a screenshot of the directory you are looking in? The data folder you say is empty. It should have a lot of system folders in there. You saying its empty is confusing.
