[Q] Cant backup with CWM

I am trying to make a backup with CWM but it keeps hanging around 40-60% and than I have to pull the battery, because it wont do anything.
What I've done:
-S-OFF with ALFArevX beta
- installed CWM by having PC49.zip on sdcard and then go in HBOOT so it would ask to update
-ive rooted my phone with another .zip through CWM
and what should I have done with al the drivers i have downloaded on my pc to make it S-OFF, because i just left them in seperate folders
So... what do i have to do, to be able to make a backup with CWM and what did I do wrong>
EDIT: BTW what are the chances of making a full brick?
thankyou

it is when you are trying to make a nandroid backup, are you? if it is , make sure you have free space in your sd card (around 250-300mb)

yes it is when im trying to do a nandroid backup. i still have 960mb free space, so that couldnt be the problem, right?

Reflash different version of recovery and try again. And if your memory card can be formattable from connection in disk mode from PC, then there are no memory card read/write errors.
BTW, chances of brick are when flashing hboot and radio.

Using the latest 4.x recovery. And haven't had any issues. Of course I haven't had any issues with recoveries I used. But I haven't used the 3.0.0.6 one.
You can also use the 3.2.x recovery which fixes the offline charging (if you feel the 4.x recovery is experimental).

[Q] [Rom] I think I bricked my HTC One X.

Hello guys,
I think I'm dying over here.
I just got my HTC One X and since I don't really like Sense I tried to flash it. So here is what I did:
1. Unlock the Bootloader: Everything was fine
2. Flash Clockwork recovery via fastboot: Check.
2. Root the phone via Clockwork Recovery: Still everything worked
3. Flash the Bootimage via fastboot: Still green
4. Flash the actual ROM via Clockwork Recovery:
Here's where the problems started kicking in. The Rom started flashing, erased my internal storage, but then aborted for some reason.
Now I have the following Problem: I can get into HBOOT, I can get into the cwm, but thats it. When I try to get to the internal storage cwm tells me: internalsd was not found.
So I thought maybe I'll just set everything back to start via RUU. Problem is: I can't find a suitable RUU. Fastboot tells me my version is 2.17.111.3, but I can only find RUUs with the id 1.26.111.3. Seems to be an older version? Can I use that one, too? If not, has anyone any idea, what to do? I don't know what to do.
Thanks for your help.

You can mount your sd card within cwm recovery . Go to mounts & storage and then at the the bottom you see mount as USB disk. Copy another ics rom to it. And do the procedure all over. Flash the boot.img from the rom do a factory reset and flash the ics rom.
Try another ICS rom first !

Thanks for the quick answer, I appreciate it.
When I try to mount the whole storage as USB drive windows wants me to format it. Can I do that, or is that a bad idea?

Hmm well it depends if you have personal stuff on it like fotos or something. Of not i don't see the problem. And by this you mean the 25 gig that is available on the sd card ?
And what do you mean with "the whole storage" ? There is only 1 sd card in the phone. And that's the one that will be mounted with the USB disk mount option.
You are using 5.8.4.0 cwm recovery ?
Keep the info coming so help can be provided ! :thumbup:

Well, no personal stuff. As mentioned, I literally just bought the phone.
I go into the recovery, then mounts and storage -> mount USB Storage -> plug it into my computer -> windows wants me to format the storage of the device I just pluged in...

Should not be a problem then, maybe it got corrupted somehow....make sure that you format it as fat32. Then copy another ics rom, try viper x ..... Great experience with that one ! Just to make sure the whole shabam works !

Chill!
Well Just wanted to tell u ..Chill u havent BRICKED ur phone.
Take a deep breath and follow what has been told.

To be honest, I chose cyanogen mod 9. I really like the vanilla ICS/JB.
One more question: What would I have to to, to use JB roms?

No problem ! It's great that it worked !
Well for as far as i know you have to update the hboot IF the CID number of your phone supports it. You have to flash a firmware zip in a way. I'm not into this. I'm waiting for the original OTA

Well, I see. Hm, the way I see it the changes between ics and jb are way to insignificant, to risk destroying my phone. So, I'll stick with CM9 for the time beeing. But again: Thanks.

Enjoy the phone and have a nice weekend

SD card can't be found
SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED
Tried flashing a rom but the installation failed, so I tried again only to get the message
E:/Can't mount/sdcard/
Rebooted my phone to find that the oririnal rom was still working but its unable to read my sdcard because its unmounted. Can't use usb storage or mount in recovery or use any recovery tools that require sd card access
If the HOX was a sealed unit I would simply take the sd card and put it back in
Is there solution to this problem?
Reformatting my SD card fixed the problem

If you want jb ROMs you don't need to upgrade hboot, only jb sense ROMs need to. You can flash cm10 without any kind of problem.

I majorly messed up my phone. Need urgent help!

Prior to receiving my GS2 from T-Mobile I did research on how to Root, Flash ROMs, you know, all the cool things Android phones can do, and I mean A LOT of research. When I finally did recieve my phone the first thing I did was root it, which worked flawlessly - at which point I thought "Hey, this isn't so hard I won't have any problems at all!" OH BOY WAS I WRONG.
Here's where everything went wrong: The first ROM I thought I'd install was AOKP Milestone and then I'd try CM10, so I put both .Zip files into my SD card. I backed up to Titanium Backup and to my External SD card through Clockwork mod then I installed AOKP Milestone and made it to the home screen with some force close messages. It was running, but didn't look very stable to me and the whole "Swagger" thing turned me off to it. I went back to Clockwork Mod and the website that I got CM10 from also told me to run DarkSide Wipe before installing the ROM so I did just that. Ran Darkside, installed CM10, then installed Gapps. I then rebooted my phone and CM10 started to load up, but after 10 minutes of just the splash screen I assumed it was stuck in a bootloop. I then restored the backup I made before installing Milestone, but I remember there being an error and it not being successful. It was at this point that Clockwork Mod started being buggy. Starting to panic, I tried a factory reset through CWM. It formatted data no problem, but it would hang at "formatting /cache" until I turned off the phone. So I panicked some more and formatted system, emmc, data. (Not a smart idea, I know.) but it would hang when I tried formatting the cache again. And its been stuck in a bootloop ever since.
I read somewhere that you could use Odin to revert your phone to make it completely stock by flashing a kernel. I thought my prayers were answered! I was finally going to just start over and forget this ever happened! No. My computer won't even recognize my phone is plugged into it. (Yes, I have all drivers up to date. Yes, I am using Samsung Micro USB, and Yes, I have Keis installed.) Since my computer won't recognize my Phone, Odin won't.
* I can access Clockwork mod, and Download mode, but my computer won't recognize my phone when plugged in.*
I know it's a lot to read but I have tried so many things I'm just so discouraged about this whole thing. I know I'm a noob so please explain your answers like I'm 5. I don't understand most Android modding slang.
Thank you.

v6.0.1.9 Touch

If you have an external sd card, load a rom on to it from your computer and then get your phone into recovery mode and choose to install from external sd card. See if that works. Also sometimes a cache wipe can take a while. Also don't panic and start doing things you know nothing about. I would recommend and ice based rom then figure how to get twrp recovery then move on to cm10. . If you can get past this, I can help you. Pm me

Ok, I will see if I can get an ICS ROM onto my Micro SD. If it works I will PM you. Thank you.
I'm still open to more suggestions!
EDIT: The funny thing is, when my phone is in CWM my computer recognizes it and I can mount USB storage, but won't recognize it while in download mode. Weird.

don't use superwipe with cwm 6+. it will break your recovery and cause a bootloop.
also it seems that a lot of people have problems with cwm 6.0.1.9 and it seems like it doesn't wipe properly so i would recommend latest twrp or sk8terwitskil's cwm. i think that's what happened with aokp and why you were having so much fcs.

Battery pull didn't work either. :/

UPDATE: I've tried installing 3 different ICS ROMs from the external SD via CWM but they all seem to freeze 3/4 through the install. After about 5 mins of being frozen the phone reboots and the bootloop just comes back. Once again I have nowhere to go. I'm lost.
If anyone has more suggestions, please share!

i don't know where i read it but i just remember now that someone said kies and odin are incompatible. so maybe that's why odin couldn't detect your phone? kies might have been running in the bg.
so i would uninstall kies and driver. restart comp. then download and install just the driver from samsung website. then put the phone into download mode and connect to pc. see if that will help.
if not, i don't know lol. usually i would suggest flashing to twrp but i don't know how well that's gonna go over a broken recovery.

I would suggest flashing TWRP recovery 2.3.3 and try and flash a ROM again after....CWM has gone downhill in my opinion.
Here is the TWRP thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768742
Or download GooManager app and install that way
And do not use any cache wipe scripts with this.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

You need to have computer install odin driver while you're in download mode before odin works. Try this wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe data/factory reset, format system, format cache and format system. Then flash new rom in recovery.

RESOLVED!
Funny thing is, I just plugged in my phone to a computer running Windows 7 and Odin recognized it! I guess my XP at home doesn't like phones. From there I flashed a stock kernel and VIOLA! Phone is out of the box new! Now I'm very weary about installing a ROM again.. I don't want to go through that ever again. Maybe i'll do some more research before I molest the software's insides.
Thank you everyone for your contributions!

Try recovery from sk8erwitskil, it's the only one that seems to work w/ my Hercules. I had similar problems to what you were experiencing and it's the only recovery that worked for some reason. I am on a GNex now so take that for what it's worth. I'll pull out the Herc. tonight when I get home to update to the CM10 latest nightly, it's been a while.

Ive had the same issue. CWM does not see my sd card so I had to put all the files onto the internal memory. i was still be to root and install roms.

[Q] Stuck on TWRP

I wiped flashed file but it keeps booting into the modified TWRP RECOVERY? Stuck at this point.
Anyone have any ideas?
I was on TWRP 2.4.1 Newest version
MA5 Stock Deodexed MA5 Firmwares
OK Now a little freaked out. I can't get to billards file or any of my back ups because they were on my external sd card!!!! I hate trying to learn new stuff (old dog)
I'm so used to HTC and when I think I have a grasp of Sammy I F&ck it up!
Oh yeah and my back ups on PC are gone because of hard drive crash! FFFFUUUUDDDDGGGGEEEE!!!!!!!
Any help to get me back to where I was before I flashed this thing would be very much appreciated. Hell I'll take a bootable ROM of any kind. Sweating bullets!
I have the mskips 3.0 toolkit can that help? I scared ****less to do anything!

I don't have ideas of why. But if you have ROM, try flashing it and see if it'll boot. Then at least you can get the rom you want later and maybe your backups.

No Rom on Phone

It's (TWRP) not showing anything under the external sd card and I'm not sure how to mount the external sd card? Under mount there are some options problem is this is a modified version of TWRP 2.3.2.3 or something close to that. Just confused on how to just get a stock rom back on the thing?
thank you very much for your reply

I had this problem a few times. I know I solved it by just flashing back to stock and formatted everything. I know that's probably excessive and you'll lose a lot of info but it's better than having a very expensive paper weight. Lol

I can't see anything on my sd card and since this is some sort of modified version of TWRP it can only see what's on the internal memory. But none of my back ups are on the internaland whenever it rebooots it always boots the the modified version of TWRP. Really stumped i don't know adb so I don't know if I can even push anything to the phone?
Don't mind losing data no biggie there but I'm like you don't want it totally hosed.
Thanks Charles

Use odin to flash latest twrp over the funky one. Then use real twrp to access sd card. Also before that, remove sd card and copy contents to new hard drive using a card reader.

Copying files now. Quick question/advice If I can see my old TWRP file in my internal memory could I flash that file with this weird modified version of TWRP? Then I could flash any file from my sd card stock or custom ROM. If not to flash the TWRP file in Odin do I place it in PDA the slot and which buttons do I need to check (reboot etc)?
Wait I can't use Odin because my PC can't recognize or see my phone because of this modified version of TWRP. Damn it!
My apologies for the noob questions just scared ****less to do anything.
My sd card is wiped clean
So I could put a file on sd card but this modified version of TWRP can't see my external sd card.
Thank you for your time
Charles

To use odin you have to put the phone in "download mode" not recovery. It's a special mode different from recovery or OS or bootloader. Power off the phone and press & hold UPvol+home+power until you get the download mode screen.
It doesn't matter what kind of recovery or anything else you have. It works even with no recovery or kernel or bootloader or OS at all.
Get the tar version of openrecovery 2.4.1.0 (or whatevers latest you future readers). Don't unpack the tar.
Uncheck reboot.
Use the PDA button, select the downloaded tar.
After flashing is done and it says 1 success 0 error, bpull the battery.
This next is annoying and I can't really believe there is no better way, but I need to do it this way or else the newly flashed recovery doesn't "take" and I have to flash it again. Just once the first time after flashing. After that no problem. Anyway, hold DOWNvol+home+power, and while holding all those, put the battery back in.
Now you should have a good fully functional useful TWRP recovery that you can use to flash all kinds of things from the sd card, backup all kinds of things to the sd card, access the internal main OS flash drive, the internal "sdcard" and external sdcard, etc.

Ok since I was in the middle of all this (On MA5 Firmware and stock rooted ROM) Do I flash a stock rooted ROM and which one(LJ1 MA5 LK8)??? I don't know where I was as far as this zip was when I wiped dalvik and cache and started this disaster?
For the life of me I can't remember how to boot into recovery Power & volume down? Is that right?
Thank you for all of your help your a godsend.
UPDATE:
I'm back on Stock Deodexed MA5. I was and to flash TWRP 2.4.1.0, Reboot recovery, and restore my last back up.
Thank you SOOOO MUCH... going to cry in my stressed out happy place
Update used an all in one and stock deodexed MA7 thank you everyone!
