Well before i begin ..
This procedure involves flashing and erasing partitions manually on your internal memory card.. if you dont know wat youre doing .. lemme remind you .. you may brick your device..(well i still dont know if its possible to brick this device.. but stil ...)
you hv been WARNED!!
Here's wat happend to my phone..
I was on stock 2.1 and wanted to flash a custom rom for which I tried to backup my current rom..which didnt work well.. I got thrown in the clockmod recovery mode..were I tried to back up n gave me error..And I accidently reformatted the sdcard thinking its the external sd.. but this thing actuallly soft bricked my phone..
I had to flash a stock Rom with Odin .. but then now it never passed the samsung boot logo.. n went to the black screen of death .. with soft buttons working .. (aka Soft brick)
The only rom that works after this is "Eugenes froyo that doesnt brick"
After I flashed that rom .. the phone finally comes up agian .. but this time without any Application memory.. it shows 0.00 in Application memory..and I cannot install any apps now nor download any from market ...
On top of which I couldnt flash any other rom even from clockworkmod recovery as it gives me this error>>
"Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)"
"Can't mount DATA"
"Installtion aborted"
Well here are the steps of how to fix this and repartition your sd card manually bcoz after loads of research I found out that my internal partitions are messed up .. that the system partitons are alright but the /DATA and /SWAP arent ..
Heres wat youll need:
1:working android sdk and samsung drivers installed
2:"Eugenes froyo that doesnt brick(with 2E recovery)"rom
3arted (attached)
4:clockworkmod recovery.zip(attached update.zip)
step1:
Flash the froyo rom from eugene using odin .. ofcourse coz thats the only one that works ..
Step2:
Turn on usb debugging and connect your phone to the pc..
go to command promopt and type this:
>adb devices
you wil see sum serial no in the connected devices .. which means your adb and drivers are working fi9..
if you get any other error or no devices found your sdk isnt configured properly or its drivers issue ..
step3:
Download and extract the Parted to a folder(you'll hv six files)
you wil hv to push all six files to your device in the /sbin folder of your device...
use the push command
>adb push [path]filename /sbin
If it works..gr8 (it didnt work for me ... bcoz it kept on givin me "permission denied" errors..)
If thats the case ..push them to /system that by default in eugenes rom is mounted as RW
>adb push [path]filename /system
do this for all 6 files...
now get into the adb shell
>adb shell
it wil display '$' prompt
type "su"
at this point tap accept button displayed on your phone ..
after which it wil display # prompt
now you're in shell as root..
Step 4:
okay now copy all the six files you pushed into the /system directory to the /sbin directory and set permissons like this:
#cp /system/[xyz] /sbin
#chmod 0755 /sbin/[xyz]
(replace the [xyz] with the filenames..do this for all 6 files..)
now get into the /sbin directory
#cd /sbin
#ls
This should display all the files in your /sbin
The parted files you copied should be here...
Now lets start partitioning..
#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 and hit enter.
here it should get you into the parted prompt..(parted)
enter "print"
>(parted) print
this should display your card status and partitions..
Mine displayed:
total 16.0 GB
and had 3 partions
15.5 GB fat32 (which is /SYSTEM)
512 MB ext3 (which is /DATA)
32.2 MB linux swap(v1) (which is /Swap)
which ofcourse wasnt right do the math your self .. on a 16 GB card you cannot hv memory space more den 14.5 GB LOL
wel so youll need to remove the rest of the 2 partitons.. use these commands:
(parted) rm 2 (the second partition)
(parted) rm 3 (the third partition)
you wont be able remove /SYSTEM as its currently mounted and parted wil throw you errors..
now youre almost done .. DO NOT repartition..
now exit from parted and shell
(parted)quit
#exit
$exit
you should be back to command prompt..
Use clockworkmod .zip and install using 2E recovery.. and boot into Clockworkmod recovery mode..
der in partions menu format /system
(yes this wil format your phone n without flashing wil not boot up again...)
step 5:
Reboot device in downloading mode
after odin recognises device flash it again with Eugene's froyo rom (you can flash it with stock rom also but i suggest eugenes rom)
make sure the "reformat partitons" is checked.. and hit Start..!!
After it flashes you phone wil boot up and BAM!!.. you hv a fully working froyo with application memory back .. you should hv around 1.73gb of application memory after that...smiles... congrats ... now you can go ahead and download any apps n install them ..
And also flash from clockworkmod recovery with the custom rom of your choice ... ...
i hope this was helpful for ppl.. coz i really needed this wen all tht happened to me .. i had to read data all over the internet,get commands from manuals of adb and parted, and majorly spend a lot of time coz couldnt find straight answers .. for the same device..
dont forget to hit the thanx button>>
I've followed all steps successfully up until this one... Could you be a little more specific? I used adb to push the supplied update.zip to the system/bin dir, then rebooted into 2e recovery, then reinstalled packages, but when I go to reboot from there I cannot get into CWMrecovery. Please clear this up for me as this is my only hope to fix my phone!! thanx!! nick

how can i find Eugenes froyo that doesnt brick(with 2E recovery) rom?
I found EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA.tar, but it dosen't seem right.
when i'm in adb and trying to push 6files it gives me permission denied even with /system. i have to say that recovery is in 3e.

I had similar experience with some difference, just sharing my thoughts which can be used by others if required. In my case it was selection of right ROM but wrong recovery tool which made me stuck at boot logo with no activity kind of situation.
(1) I connected my device with my PC ,switched on Odin, fortunately it was able to detect my device .
(2) I went through all the desired process which are required at the time of installing a custom recovery tool.
(3) Flashed through the correct recovery tool, rebooted the device in recovery flashed with correct ROM..reboot..and all back to normal for me.
Hope it will be helpful for someone in case of soft brick situation, tutorial related to flashing with ODIN can be found easily on web.
Hey thanks for your work .but when i flash eugene after the samsung s logo it gives me black screen with touch buttons light up and when i flash stock the phone shuts down after vibrant logo
Please help me

lol luckly i live in singapore
first of all, lets start with custom recovery
1. Download the custom recovery file from here and here
2. DO NOT rename them, and put them neatly inside the ROOT of the SD CARD (that means it should be at /sdcard/ on androids
3. next, get Terminal Emulator from the market. search it.
4. Get a nice keyboard to work on for a while. you need to type A LOT
5. get titanium backup and backup everything. menu > batch
6. reboot phone.
7. Turn on phone and go to terminal and type the following
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*there should be no error except at stage 5 there could be, but not always.
8. good. flash complete. now grab the megatron ROM and the lagfix. they both should be .zip . DONT OPEN IT.
9 put the two inside the root of SD card
10. go to terminal, write
su
*press enter*
reboot recovery
11. you should have a menu of things. go to flash zip or sth (you will know) w/ ur volume buttons
12. press menu and you will be able to choose the two zips. flash any of them first, and do the second afterwords.
13. YAY DONE
14. no need for bucks thanks. just press the thanks button down there. its free.
*PM or EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT FURTHER HELP*

Also, isnt 2.2.2 not rootable??
I think it has to be downgraded to 2.2 and then rooted..
Edit:
Sorry, My mistake.. Didnt realize 2.2.2 is rootable now..
2.2.2 it's now rootable
It says that "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh ": No such file or directory.
I'm sure that I placed both of the files on the root of my sdcard
Well, I guess the hardest part is getting the recovery. Well I share my method so, here we go.
What you need:
1. terminal emulator(download from market - free)
2. recovery installer(download here)
3. your ROM which is megatron(download here)
4. Touch-screen bug fix(download here)
5. Back-up all your SD contents to your PC.
-. optional: if your file explorer doesn't support unrar/unzipping, download one. but since you have a PC just use winrar.
when you have everything, lets start.
1. extract contents of "recovey_installer.rar" to the root(meaning the base) of your SDcard.(it contains 3 files, so you should also see 3 new files on your SD card).
2. open terminal emulator, enter these lines(press enter after each line):
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/rf.sh
just wait and this should reboot you directly to recovery.
3. now in recovery(remember: "vol + and - button" is "up and down" "menu button is ok/select" and "back button" is back) select options:
Partition sdcard > partition SD
4. when asked choose your desired partition size then choose swap size as 0. This should format your SD card.(initially this will leave you with an ext2 partition, if you want ext3 then upgrade it to ext3 and so on using the same menu)
5. when done, press back repeatedly and reboot.
6. now, move your ROM(megatron) and the touchscreen-lag-fix files to the root of your SD card.
7. open terminal again and enter these commands
Code:
su
reboot recovery
just wait and it should bring you back to recovery.
8. in recovery, choose option:
- flash zip menu
- to avoid hiccups just toggle the signature verification
- flash zip from sdcard
- first flash your rom(megatron), when done immediately flash touchscreen-bug-fix
- press back repeatedly then reboot.
9. enjoy

just ignore that error message. this line is only there for those with different phone models which has the mention file in the phone internal storage. so this shouldn't affect optimus one users.
@ungaze, i did your way . It took me to android system recovery .
Anyway it didnt ask me for partition sdcard. So should i just reboot my phone?
congratulations, you now have recovery. you should see some options.
press volume buttons to navigate up and down(menu button=select/ok). Choose the option:
- Partition sdcard
- Partition SD
If you want to explore your phone a bit more, you could just reboot your phone for now. Just remember, to go back to recovery you could open terminal and enter:
Code:
su
reboot recovery
or when phone is off, press and hold "power/lock button"+"home button"+"vol down button" until recovery menu shows up.
Alright , did that . My friend told me about nandroid how can i do that before i flash the other roms ?
theres a menu option "backup/restore" open it and choose "nand backup". when done, there should be a folder in your SD named "nand" copy the contents to a pc or somewhere safe as this will serve as your backup file.
Okay, i did a nandroid and ready to flash roms . Wish me well =)
Anyway why do i receive E:Bad boot message when i reboot recovery.
everyone has it. it's perfectly fine. good luck
Anyway, as I was nandroid-ing i saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5GWgjJT2zo in the end, it shows the guy having no reception?
edit: He didnt have it on at the first place anyway. Sorry for the inconvenience.
i didnt view the link but im guessing hes using amon_ra v1.1, the method i gave you installs amon_ra v1.2 which fixes most bugs with ext4 and nand recovery/backup
By toggl-ing signature verification do you mean to enable or disable it?
disable. this is really not necessary as the zips youre about to apply are surely signed. but in case you have problems in the future, just remember that disabling sig veryfication may fix the problem.
Thanks man, how do i donate to you?
Btw i just screw my phone. Stuck at android screen page ;(. How do i restore the nandroid backup? Should i wipe my phone first, then do nandroid restore?
Will it restore me my version 2.2.2?
When i nandroid it , my phone was on ver 2.2.2
Ungaze?

1. Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13430042&postcount=25 and put all the files into a folder in C drive, preferentially name the folder adb and extract the zip file into it.
(thanks doomlord for the link)
2. Connect phone to usb and computer and enable unknown sources and enable usb debugging.
3. Reboot into your current xrecovery
4. Go to start on the bottem left of your windows, then Run...
5. Type cmd and then press okay( run cmd )
6. Type cd \adb and press enter
7. Type adb.exe and press enter
8. Type adb shell and press enter

11. Type chmod 777 sdcard and press enter
12. Now go to your phone and install custom zip x recovery gingerbread ready
13. Reboot and go back into your new xrecovery
This is for all those that have problems mounting recovery images all credits go to zdzihu and doomlord just providing a simpler way to install it
(btw this is a compilation of instructions from zdzihu's post and doomlord's post and i take absoulutely no credit for it)
good luck with that. All it does is erase, or make your old directory totally unavailable.
uh? it doesent erase anything all my files are still in my sd card just help to fix the cant mount image problem when ur flashing custom zip if your using like prerooted version of 2.3.3 doomlords etc.
my sdcard is coming up blank now in xrecovery....., and I can't connect with the usb either
### Plezzz BACK YOUR SD CARD OR ANY MOUNT/DRIVE UP BEFORE rm -rf /* ANYTHING. ###
All this is going to do is remove everything stored on your sdcard inclueing your security certs if u have passwords or screen locks. Also the only thing that xrec stores on your sd and backups zip an the logo.this will not remove any configs or xrec from the phone.
rm -r /sdcard/xrecovery <--- This Will Remove The Xrec data storeed on the phone but still this will not work .
and this is in the xrecovery install 1.0 see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
This is a dublepost
Great, thanx for tutorial?!
Weird im not a developer so i dun know why this is happening but my sd card is working perfectly and nothing has been erased. on ericwills rom for the past few hours and it is flying
For all those who dun want to mess around with adb shell, i suggest you to take a look at doomlords thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808 if your recovery has some problems mounting images
fyi depending on your computer, it may end up corrupting your sdcard as well.
what computer os are u using? do a full reformat of your sd card?
i'm on clockworkmod 5.0.2.3, my device is galaxy tab 10.1 P7510. i backup it with Titanium Backup. i've done CWM backup, i do know the CWM's backup file is sdcard/clockworkmod, but i can't delete it, either on my tablet or computer!! i've tried ES file and RE, nothing changes,,,,and the CWM file is as large as 1G, but i can't see anything in it! is that a new function of 5.0.2.3, to hide and protect its file? i've format the whole SDcard on my computer, and everything's gone, BUT the CLOCKWORKMOD file!!!!!! i'm crazy!!!!!

try makeing a new backup file in recovery as this should overright the last one
the file is probably corrupt
or using root explorer find the file and check the that folder is R/W
i dnt know if you can doo this on the sd card
You should be able to delete any file on the "SD card". Personally, although I use titanium backup as a great tool, CWM's backup is so easy and reliable for me.
thank u but it doesn't work. new backup changes nothing but make it biger, it seems that i can delete it by RE, but if i refresh i appears again. is there any way to format?

You can rename and delete backups with the rom manager app from the market.
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager
while in recovery:
adb shell mount /data
adb shell rm -r /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/DATED_FOLDER
Are you talking about the nandroid backup? If so, open the CWM recovery and the option to delete backups is there...
Also, you do realize that the CWM backup is not the same thing as the titanium backup, right? CWM backup is the whole system; titanium is just apps and settings...
got the same problem and tried a lot

hi, i got the same issue and have tried to figure it out for hours and turn to here for help finally. my clockworkmod recovery's version is 5.5.0.4, probably. and i flashed 5.8.3.1 minutes ago.
i've tried to delete the backups in rom manager, but still can't and was told error occured while deleting.
and i tried to remove them in adb shell, rm command, and it says permission denied.
Code:
[email protected]:/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup # rm -r 2005-06-01.07.50.08
rm -r 2005-06-01.07.50.08

In recovery (CWM) or android? Try with the -f switch (rm -rf), and do it in recovery from your PC (don't forget to mount the partition).

sure about that, i got the recovery from clockworkmod.com.
i formatted it in windows, and everything was deleted but the clockworkmod folder! ghostly exist
something i just thought.. i'm using windows 7, when the tablet connect to my laptop, windows recognize it as a portable device. it's special i guess. is there any way to let it be removable disk?

In recovery (CWM) or android? Try with the -f switch (rm -rf), and do it in recovery from your PC (don't forget to mount the partition).

One way is, in cwm, select "mount and storage" > "mount /data"
The other way is with adb (you're going to use it any way)
Code:
adb root
Code:
adb shell
Code:
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data
If you keep getting the same error, try deleting everything inside the backup directory, I mean the 2005-06-01.07.50.08 directory.
Code:
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2005-06-01.07.50.08
Inside the directory (be 100% sure to be in 2005-06-01.07.50.08 or you're going to delete something important. Always be careful when using the rm -rf * command)
Code:
rm -rf *
Or in one line
Code:
rm -rf /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2005-06-01.07.50.08/*
Then, delete the directory:
Code:
rmdir /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2005-06-01.07.50.08/
problem solved! thanks MapleSyrup
really thanks MapleSyrup! i executed all commands after normally powerup.
i just did them in cmw mode, all worked!
when normally powerup, in adb shell, command line prompt start with
Code:
[email protected]:/ #
in cmw(recovery) mode, it changes to
Code:
~ #
and no 'Permission denied' anymore when execute rm
i'm not English actually, literal words may be incorrect, hope readers could get it.
thanks sincerely. i've spent almost half day on the issue, you cant imagine how happy i am now, ha

I'm a little more of a newb here, and Don't understand the above stuff. I'm having the exact same issue.
ROM Manager basically just messed up my phone to the point that I can't delete backups in clockworkmod. Also the backups are showing 0 bytes in size even though they've taken up 3 gigs on my SDCard
I Got ROM manager to install the latest CWM, which is great. I Then was trying it out, and noticed you can do a backup right from it. It Loads CWM and performs a normal Nandroid backup.
Here is the issue, It shows that it has take up the space on my SDCard, but the folder contents are empty in clockworkmod/backups
Also, I can't delete them at all. I Tried ES Explorer and nothing worked. Said denied.
So it seems that my HTC ONE has no OS installed, I am able to get to the HTC logo and thats it. I reboot into bootloader and are able to install CWM and TWRP but no luck installing ARHD rom via adb sideload method, it just fails. Any hints on how to install a rom either stock or otherwise? i have a cwm backup of my stock rom rooted odex on my computer but it is not a flashable zip. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
(i have a mac if that matters)
if you aren't back on cwm flash that recovery.
boot to it
push your backup to the phone with ./adb push /foldername/* /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup might be backups, I can't remember, but you can check with adb shell
./adb shell
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod
ls (that is a lowercase L)
that should give you a directory listing.
after you've successfully pushed the backup reboot to recovery again and restore it.
This should do the trick

Hy gunnyman, when I push the folder to the sd card it always decompresses and send the individual files to the system not the full backup folder so i can select it from the backups menu. this is the command I used ./adb push may6.zip /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
I also pushed the decompressed files to the sd card since it looks like it instals all files needed for os to work with the following command ./adb push may6.zip /sdcard
I reboot system but still stuck on HTC logo.
May6 is the name of my backup and when i use the ls command it has a .zip to the end.
So can you let me know how to sent the complete folder to the phone to be placed on the backup folder and thus be able to be selected under the cwm menu? Thank you so much
Unzip it. Send entire folder uncompressed
You don't restore a backup the same way you flash a rom. It's a separate menu option in recovery

yes its unzipped. took off the .zip name and sent it to the backup folder and it still sends the uncompressed files. Once I go to restore from backup folder I get a -System/ and -Meta-INF/ files and no file with -May6/ or something like that. So i try to restore from -system/ but it says md5 sum dont match.
Any ideas?
No, I don't sorry
