I have tested flash, wipes and it works (I tried flashing AromaFM and it worked, not an entire ROM) but if I select mount storage it doesn't work!
Also, I'm in ICS (1.14) ROM not JB

alternative to what @xpirt told
Code:
adb pull /cache/recovery/last_log
EDIT do this after you try UMS(if on windows wait for sometime for the drivers to install like atleast 10 min) and boot into the rom.

Ok, I have copied the last_log file (i tried usb mass storage and waited for some minutes before copying the file). I'm unrooted so I picked up the file with AromaFM.
I hope it helps!
PD: There's also something weird that happened to me with the other CWM recovery: when I switched off the phone to charge it, the orange light blinks for 15 seconds and the phone starts again! It doesn't happen with TWRP recovery (the "starting process", not the blinking). EDIT: The restart issue does NOT happen with this recovery. Yeyyyy!!

@OP, why panicking? ums will work just fine
you need to add proper lines in BoardCOnfig.mk and ramdisk. You should have waited for me to fix it as i gave you my tree. Anyways Try uncommenting the line for UMS_LUNFILE which is commented, and delete the next two lines after it. Compile it with that and tell me.

Yes its your tree and actually the fix became apparent with the log.
Thank you for everything you have done for this devices recovery and I have no plans of changing that.The recovery is now fully functional and bugfree as soon as Gweedo767 is free he will be doing an official build(dont hold your breadth may take a while).
Post that official builds shall be available on clockworkmod.com and this thread will cease to exist(at least it will be locked).
And @neXus PRIME will you be updating your thread with this info since you will be the main maintainer.
Thank you ,
Dark Passenger.

Thanks for all your work making CWM official.:good::good:
btw, i said the "panic" thing in a light-hearted way.
The recovery tree is originally LLOIR's, later on modified by cobje(therbom), Clauddy, and then final fixed tree by neXusPRIME (me). Please give credits to all of them.
Secondly, i like TWRP far more than CWM, so i invite you to be the official CWM maintainer if you are willing. We can work on recoveries together.
I currently have JB and ICS TWRP 2.5.0.0 ready to be released but only do it when i receive JB OTA.
Lastly, NOTE that the tree you are using for OFFICIAL CWM is only ICS COMPATIBLE. You will need to modify the recovery.fstab for JB compatible recovery by changing the mount points for SYSTEM,DATA,CACHE as they are in JB ROM proc/emmc. Then you will rebuild and CWM will be able to flash ROMs for people with hboot 1.25.0.0

Yasir

1. Its my pleasure.
btw so was mine
2.all credits will be present once official builds are online and I open a thread for it.(maybe you could make your thread jb version so there are both versions present for those who want it).
3.wat a coincidence I like cwm better than TWRP. no offence seem to work.Also the recovery tree as always is open for anyone with a github account to modify.
4.Same here the tree submited is for ics and will be updated only when i get the jb update(knew about the mount points from the various thread actually from your post I think).
PS do you know whats needed and/or where I can get the sources for touch recovery.
PPS in your recovery.fstab(cwm version) the internal sdcard(emmc) is mounted as vfat where as in cm its emmc.

cool :jealous: i might have to wait a tad bit longer for that
also if possible can you hold out on the update for a few more days might be the first to try out official builds.

I'm afraid I can't! I was very excited watching that my operator updated to JB (they never updated our ROM before) that I made it and now I'm in JB.
I'm sorry!
Also, if you want me to test it in JB, let me know it and I'll be very happy to help!
Have a great day

[Q] Someone Please Help Me!!! :)

Okay so I received an Asus Transformer Prime tf201 yesterday. This morning I was able to unlock it, root it, and then I wanted to install the latest nightly of CM10 (24th). After I saw that it was indeed rooted I booted into twrp and in Wipe I did Factory Reset, System, Internal Storage (wanted to get rid of the pictures, etc. from previous owner). I had CM10 latest nightly and gapps both on my External SD Card so I knew I wasn't removing those.
Anyway after clicking on Install and then Using external SD I selected the zip of CM10 and swiped to confirm flash. It does well for about 2 or 3 minutes (the blue bar even shows progress) and then it comes up with the message E:Unable to mount '/staging'.
Please please tell me I did not mess up my Prime when I just got it???!!! Anyone that can help please help as soon as possible as I am really wanting to play with this after all the fantastic reviews I have heard. You would have my eternal gratitude and if it is not wrong to do this I will even donate via PayPal to the person that can help me "fix" my Prime.
Please KNOW I have been looking for answers to this for HOURS today and still haven't found anything to help me. I am really hoping some genius on XDA can help me.

Mine, the radio button for external is on, you could try the terminal under advanced button...command would be something like su then enter and then mount /staging or something like that.... you may want to check the command exactly, my terminal skills are limited...

Probably running TRWP 2.3.x.x, right? Some others had this same problem with the TF300 and switched back to TWRP 2.2.2.1 and their ROM flashed just fine. Might be worth a shot.

No, there is a 2.3 for both ics and jb bootloaders ... I THINK that 2.2 was ics only (can't remember for sure). If he was loading the CM10 nightly, he should have had an ics bootloader, or it would not have run.

You do bring up a good point, though ... if his TFP had a JB OTA, he could have the jb bootloader! Alias, you need to check these types of things out before moving forward.

I had the JB OTA before starting I do know that. Would have kept it if I didn't love CM so much! So would I just install twrp 2.2 through fastboot then like I did the 2.3.1.0 that I have now? Or is there another way I can do this? Thank you BOTH for your help! It is much appreciated! :good:

If you had the JB bootloader before, then you surely still have it. You would not change your bootloader by flashing a CM10 nightly ROM. The only way that I know of for you to go back to an ICS bootloader is with nvflash. If nvflash was not on your TFP when you got it, you won't be getting it anytime soon, because it cannot be installed with a JB bootloader on your TFP.
Which TWRP 2.3.1 did you load? The JB version?
The CM10 nightlies are not currently compatible with a JB bootloader, so you had no hope of running it. That may very well have caused your staging error, but I am not sure. Since you apparently have a JB bootloader, you would have to flash an appropriate ROM, like Craig Gomez' (here). But, only the JB version of TWRP 2.3.1 will work for you, as far as I know. So, I'm thinking you must have loaded the correct one.
I cannot be 100% sure that you have the JB bootloader. I hope you are sure that your TFP was updated to JB by an Asus update (OTA).
If I were you, I'd make a plan of action and post it here. Be patient and wait for a response, before moving forward. Good luck with this.

the only way back to an ics bootloader it through nvflash... if you didn't do nvflash before you started with JB then you are stuck using jb roms only I think.....you could try hairy bean .....

Okay let's see if I can get this is all right. I have The JB version of TWRP 2.3.1. As for running a different ROM I tried the Unofficial one you listed and it still gives me the Unable to mount 'staging/' error. It first says it is verifying the signature then update package, then it says Updating partition details and that is when it comes to the staging error. :crying:
I am 110% positive that my TFP was updated to JB by the Asus update (OTA). Thanks again for the suggestions hopefully someone out there will suggest something.
What about doing the PRIME FULL WIPE that someone suggests here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670824 Then trying to install the Unofficial CM10 with the JB Bootloader? Anyone know if this would work?

I wouldn't try the full wipe... what I would try is the fix permissions button under advanced.... failing that... I would try fastboot install of twrp 2.3 again (instructions on the twrp OP).... it is like you don't have rights to write to the staging partition...
Read this thread... this guy was in the same boat... page 2 post 19 is where he fixed it....

@Alias -- I was really hoping the JB bootloader ROMs would do it for you.
This right here is excellent advice from Gage_Hero:

If this does not work, I am at a loss of how to recreate the Staging partition (and perhaps others), but there is probably a way.

Glad to get you up and running again just do yourself a favor before you try cm10.... make a backup... or 2 I never used cm on my tab but did it on my phone.... when I restored... I had to do it twice... not sure if that is the case with the prime or not ... but if it is a JB bootloader then you should be okay... I like flashing through twrp though .. never did a rom through goo... but I am sure it works...
I need a little more help now. I went to boot into TWRP last night and I just got the dead Andy. Does that mean that putting this stock JB back on my TFP I have lost my TWRP recovery?
My TFP is rooted though as I have SU in my app drawer and I installed Titanium Backup just fine. I just wanted to make a couple of backups of my TFP (one to save on my PC and one to save on my TFP's External SD. So my question is can I reinstall my TWRP through Fastboot like I did before even with it rooted? First time I did it I followed these instructions:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pW05Jf87dg&feature=plcp
But upon further reading it states that people have had problems installing JB ROMs with using the 2.3 or 2.3.1 version so should I install the 2.2 version? Please someone help me yet again possibly??? THANKS!

I think people have had issues installing 2.2 on the JB bootloader I would fastboot install 2.3.1 there is no reason it shouldn't work..... I think there is some disconnect between twrp and some of the jb roms as some devs are including twrp in their install like Mr.Wookie over at team wookie.....

Okay so I went ahead and have redone TWRP 2.3.1 via Fastboot. I then did a backup of my ROM twice onto my External SD card. After that I did a a Factory Reset through TWRP of course and then installed the Unofficial CM10 with JB Bootloader. I still got the E:can not mount '/staging' but I went ahead and installed the Gapps that was listed on the thread as well and then wiped davlik cache and regular cache. Rebooted and I am VERY HAPPY to say it FINALLY worked this time!
I was ecstatic to see that CyanogenMod symbol come up. I made sure to wait 10 minutes to let the ROM settle before doing anything and it looks very nice!
I am confused as to why it worked the second time or even worked with the staging error as well when it didn't last time. Maybe because I didn't do the wipe Internal in TWRP? Who knows all I know is my Asus is working wonderfully and I am SO HAPPY to have it back! Thank you again everyone for all your help, I LOVE THIS FORUM! :laugh: :good:

Good to hear.... not sure if your aware or not but with a decent backup ( I do one everytime I think I am going to try something foolish) even if you do a wipe, as long as you can reach twrp you can restore the prime to it's state before you started messing with it....

I'm using your recovery and I like touch recovery. Backup and restore works flawlessly
Don't you want to continue your TWRP ?

I always want an alternative to CWM coz it has bare basic features. TWRP was an option which had open source code so i tried it. But cant seem to be able to boot it. Something important is missing. But i may abandon it coz madmaxx said he might support desire X with 4EXT. and once 4ext comes, all the others will be rendered useless(kidding of course)

Yasir
So mount USB storage still doesn't work?
give me 1 more day
@Yasir Javed Ansari
Very happy with the progress of this Recovery, expecting more from you
Very happy with the progress of this Recovery......nice work
awesome ! i suppose the usb mount issue is the "e: unknown volume for path /sd-ext thing ?
Any progress my friend?
Syncing the jellybean tree is taking HELL more time than i imagined. But cobje is working on the device tree.
You can expect these in next release:
- graphic fixed
- sdcard mount (un-mounting has bugs if u guys have noticed or not)
- random reboot (still testing)

Noob question: what is the easiest way to flash a recovery without dozens of adb commands?
Only way now is
"fastboot erase cache"
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Graphic has been fixed , but as the recovery is closed source, I can't feed custom board config to fix UMS. That's why I'm also working on twrp.

Hi Yasir, thank you so much for the fixes.
Graphics are working %100.
Backing up is working, will test restore soon.

Tried the flags we discussed
You end up with a zImage-dtb, but it has no DTB embedded data
You can verify by comparing it to the zImage: they are same
Also, no DTB files were created during compiling
The end is a zImage without the DTB info

Yea I noticed that b4 I broke mine from compiling. lol Not overly concerned with it atm. I'm sure the kernel gurus will work their magic.
Haven't installed it yet.
But I am dying hard to get a kernel for exynos with Boeffla or Faux audio driver.
Thank you for the CWM recovery!
Getting my Galaxy S5 tomorrow! And only have this one SM-G900H variant in my country. I will be replacing the recovery with this as soon as I get it!

nope sure isnt, I didnt get into computers until I was in my early 30's and only been messing with android for almost 4 years now.
Has nay1 install it yet? is it working for 900H?
I`m guessing the recovery doesn't work for the SM-G900M model as I've tried the process a couple of times and can't seem to be able to boot into recovery mode, only download?

Gave another go without the auto boot. Ran the whole thing, then it was left at the blue reset on Odin. So I pulled the cable, pulled the battery, and did the recovery reset with the volup, menu and power thing.
Goes then to the message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing " and then just reboots the phone regularly without ever going through recovery.
Something wrong in the process or the way I did it?

You can't flash this yet (I'm working on that, I promise) but you can boot from it!
NOTE: THIS IS A WIP. Not a lot has been really tested yet and this is posted merely for your enjoyment atm.
I don't suggest flashing anything yet, not that there is anything to flash heh.
Also, I take no responsibility if you break your watch, yada, yada.
To do this, make sure you have Android's tools (for fastboot), an unlocked bootloader, and the watch connected to your computer in Debug mode.

Nope, though I'll try to get to it tomorrow after work! If you want, I can give you an overview of what I did:
1. Pull the source for CM11.
2. Dump boot and recovery images using dd.
3. Ran makevender.sh using lge and dory.
4. lunch'd it up.
5. Replaced the recovery.fstab with the fstab from the recovery ramdisk.
6. Ran makerecovery.sh.
7. fastboot boot'd the recovery.img
This is all off the top of my head and missing some random files you had to hack around with, of course. Hope you get it working and more progress is made because I can't get to it for another day!

Heh, don't worry, you didn't seem like you were shooting me down at all! Anyway, I tried TWRP but it wouldn't boot for some reason (it's extremely hard to debug at the bootloader level). So, I went back to CWM and got swipe control working! Here's a build of the recovery image
NOTE: To boot this do NOT flash it; you need to "fastboot boot" it. Also, don't blame me if your watch breaks, yadda, yadda.
As per the source, I'll tell you the truth, it's pretty ugly and I'm deathly afraid of git so give me a few days until I get around to uploading it.

This is exactly why I've rooted my watch! Well, that and the Gohma ROM.
The issue I'm having is pushing the .zip file to the sdcard. Getting an error saying it's read-only. Can't do it via adb because the second I boot into CWM my laptop forgets it's connected to anything.

It's only booting because it doesn't work when flashed to recovery. The file size is around 8 mb whereas the legitimate recovery is 23 mb, which I'm sure is an issue. Is it possible that I'm only creating a ramdisk that gets paired with the watch's kernel and I need to make an image with both of them? Sorry, this whole uBoot stuff confuses me a bit.

Try pushing the zip to the sd card while it's normally booted and then restart. I think that's what I did, IIRC.

Getting:
Code:

failed to copy 'emoji.zip' to '\sdcard': Read-only file system
This was just done while the watch is booted normally and plugged in via USB. It almost seems as though the root permission hasn't worked. I'm at a loss.

Weird... I don't even think you need root to push to /sdcard/ but I could be wrong. I'd suggest trying /sdcard/emoji.zip so it knows where to resolve. Also, I don't use Windows, but does the backslash work on adb as a file separator?

I just ported PA beta 5 to our Vibrant! Can anyone please help test it?

Hi all! I just finished porting Paranoid Android Beta 5 (Oct 22, 2014) to our beloved Vibrant. My only problem is my Vibrant is my daily driver. Can any kind soul whose Vibrant is not your daily driver (or if you just like to live on the bleeding edge) please test this out for me?
ROM *EDIT: Wi-Fi not working yet. Wi-Fi working now, but took down link to wait for original dev's permission. I have permission now, but I keep getting "No SD card" error
PA Gapps
Official PA5 xda link of the Rom I ported (i9000/galaxysmtd)
Permission from the official Rom maintainer is still pending, hopefully I'll get it soon.
Thank you so much!
Edit: I suppose I should include these steps (copied from xda thread above):
Installation Instructions
Coming other ROM
1. You must be rooted!
2. You must have a custom recovery installed.
3. Wipe your device if you are not coming from PA 4.+ already.
4. Flash the ROM zip, it could appear a warning (all data will be wiped due different partition table)
5. Reflash the ROM zip, it will continue now.
6. Flash the GAPPS.
7. Reboot. (It can take up to 5 min.)
8. Enjoy
Coming from AOSPA 4.0+
NOTE: I'm not responsible of crashes due kernel changes.
1. Flash the ROM zip.
2. Reboot.
3. Wait the upgrading android dialog.
4. Enjoy!

I don't know why I was hesitating - I could just take a Nandroid backup before flashing. I just did this, and I'm happy to report that everything went just fine! The only snag I had was a Wi-Fi problem - it says "Turning Wi-Fi on", but just stays like that. I remember seeing this problem somewhere before, maybe the kernel. Will investigate and report back

Edit (4.41pm cst):
SIGH... Been researching and trying out solutions all this time, and nothing's working Tried NeatKernel, Semaphore kernel, neither worked. Will keep at it and report back.

you need to copy over system/lib/modules from base to port or from custom kernel if that what you're using, in order to get wifi working. I could of sworn PA was patched a certain way and would only run with its provided kernel or maybe something has changed since i last tried to port it for personal use. Also not a great idea posting ones work with out getting full permission yet may cause you trouble later on down the road...

Omg, that worked beautifully! Thank you so much, kind sir! I've also taken down the Rom download link and will put it back up again once I have full permission. Thanks for prompting me to do it. This is my first time at porting a Rom, so I'm not fully caught up on the etiquette yet. I've asked him for permission, and thought I could put it up only for testing purposes in the meantime, and then post it fully in our development forum once I have his full permission. He has been pretty great so far with granting a few people permission on that thread, so hopefully I can become one of them soon Thanks again so much!
Okay, it seems like I'm having another problem/bug. My phone's not detecting its SD card. When I tried to download a file it said, "No SD card". When I went to Settings/Storage, there are 2 areas of storage as usual, but it only lasts for about 3 seconds, then all the rows collapse and all I'm left with is "Internal Storage" and a couple of rows - no sight of an SD card. Is this something you've come across?

Try flashing one of the custom kernels we have and see if that works, if it doesn't help solve the issues it may just be kernel related. If all else fails give this a shot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51293597&postcount=151<br /> and if that doesn't help try porting a previous version of PA and see if the SD will mount properly.
For some reason whenever I flash a kernel, everything goes well until the "Android is upgrading" point. All apps are updated, then it says "starting apps" or something and it doesn't go anywhere after that, just stuck on that stage Then when I tried to reboot into recovery, it would be really difficult for some reason (like holding the buttons down would cause boot looping, very finicky). When I finally did get into recovery, it turned out to be Twrp, and not the Cwm I was used to. I have no idea where it came from, esp since I believe both port and base were cwm! I got really scared for a few minutes because twrp didn't have my backups. Finally, after a few more reboots, I got back the familiar cwm. I've never been so relieved in my life lol. I'm back to my old state, and will try again tomorrow morning. That's what I get for trying to play hero haha

Its fine you ended up with twrp that happens when you flash a kernel that comes with twrp, see our device recovery image is within the kernel. I actually prefer twrp over cwm due to it being touch screen and putting less stress/abuse on the volume and power button/s. I checked the i9000 thread of PA and didn't see any users with the SD not mounting so I'm guessing it could be kernel related. If i can get my hands on my wife's vibrant I'll do a personal port and let you know of the results.

Ah, yes, from the kernel, that makes sense. Yeah, I'm glad more people are switching to Twrp because I like the touchscreen too instead of hurting the physical buttons. There's also a kernel (Semaphore?) that uses touchscreen scrolling in Cwm, which is cool too. Thank you, I'd really appreciate that!
Also, can you please show me how to properly bring an outside kernel into a Rom? I have been following this guide. It says to replace:
bml_over_mtd
bml_over_mtd.sh
erase_image
file_contexts
flash_image
make_ext4fs
boot.img
Plus system/lib/modules per your suggestion. However, I was about to try Iyahman's kernel, but it doesn't have:
file_contexts
flash_image
make_ext4fs
system/lib/modules
How would that work?
Btw, I just tried pulling the kernel resources of the kernel used by SlimKat into PA5 rom, but I still get the No SD card error
Our SlimKat rom uses the "samsung kernel aries", which is also used by the i9000 PA rom, so I thought it would work this time, but nope.
@dzee206 - Sorry for the spamming, man, but I just wanted to clarify the SD card problem I'm having, because I'm a bit confused as to what exactly it is. So when I try to download an .apk off of an xda thread using Browser, I get the error:
"No SD Card
An SD card is required to download ...apk"
But I am able to successfully download an app from the Play Store and use it well.
When I open Gallery, I get this error:
"No Storage
No external storage available"
Sorry I'm a big noob, but is the phone saying I don't have an external card or an internal card? I've never had these problems on this phone before, and I've never used an external SD on it. Thanks.

Also, can you please show me how to properly bring an outside kernel into a Rom? I have been following this guide. It says to replace:
bml_over_mtd
bml_over_mtd.sh
erase_image
file_contexts
flash_image
make_ext4fs
boot.img
Plus system/lib/modules per your suggestion. However, I was about to try Iyahman's kernel, but it doesn't have:
file_contexts
flash_image
make_ext4fs
system/lib/modules
How would that work?

You only need the files in the root of the kernel (zip) not the folders though, don't worry about the modules with semaphore that's just how it is. Just leave file_contexts, flash_image, make_ext4fs that came with PA while porting they should suffice. Sorry man I ported PA yesterday while at my in-laws but didn't get a chance to transfer it over. I'd do it while at home but my PC exhaust fan crapped out on me and I won't have time to replace it till the beginning of next week. For now the best I can do is give advice base on my experience porting. May wanna give a different ROM a shot at porting such as DU or Mackay.

Thanks man, I really appreciate your advice and efforts. Will try a couple more things and report back.
I tried putting Iyahman's Semaphore kernel stuff into PA5 and using SlimKat as base, but it didn't work I got the error 7, that the ROM was for i9000 and not for T959. I don't get why it happened... I deleted the i9000 lines from updater-script and everything, just like previous attempts (the rom had actually loaded properly in previous attempts, so the difference here must lie in the using of the kernel or SlimKat as base).

Never use a ported ROM as base it be best to use the unofficial cm11 or spirit ROM, since those are the only ROMs we have that's built from source. Honestly if it was me I'd give up on PA and look for something else to run there's plenty of i9000 ROMs that have yet to be ported over or hasn't been updated I a while.

Ahh, thanks! I read somewhere that both base and port should both be either CM-based or AOSP-based, so I guess I started looking for AOSP-based roms and decided to try SlimKat. But I'll make sure not to use ported roms anymore. I tried the cm11 one, I might try Spirit as a last ditch effort, then see what else is on i9000. When Paranoid updated their website this week, I had checked it out, and when I saw galaxymtd as one of the legacy devices, I had gotten excited at the prospect of a new-ish rom. But lemme see what else is on i9000 after I try a couple more things here. Thanks again!

It's some what true about using the same type of based ROMs when it comes to porting but pickings are slim. Myself and a bunch of other porters have been using cm as base and haven't had any issues porting different type ROMs.
