Is anyone else experiencing difficulty with the Kitchen in this version? None of the kitchen tweaks will work, they download fine, and it goes thru the regular process of installing, however none of the programs seem to be functioning after installation. Just checking with anyone else before I try re flashing. I did do a full wipe before install.
2.3.6
xxki4
Siyah 2.3
Checkrom V4
The same thing is happening with me. It downloads the files just fine but when it tries to install them, it restarts to the wrong recovery (not clockworkmod). You can see the things fail installing because of the <!> that comes up in the recovery for a split second.
How can we get it working? The only way I've done it is to manually restart to the right recovery, and then manually install each zip.
Reinstall the kitchen app

Try installing them from recovery, you have to delete or rename the clockworkmod folder on the external sd card in order to install things directly from the kitchen.

salted_hash in clockworkmod folder
Found the culprit:
Q: I am not able to flash via Kitchen???
A: Delete Clockworkmod folder
Reason:
Previously to make the kitchen flash in older version of CWM5 we need to use a salte hash file that was placed in the Clockworkmod folder, Now with the updated CWM5 the actually problem with CWM5 was fixed by the respective creator!
So now what happens is that all you people have that salted hash file remaining in ur sd card that doesn't allow to flash stuff in the newer better CWM5, thats why when u delete the Folder it stats working coz the salted hash file gets deleted!
Now you may ask why delete the folder, when u can delete the file only!!
LOL answer is simle the Android os never recognizes the file there so when u open myfiles you never find the salted hash file inside the clockworkmod folder! You can use other apps and methods to delete the file but then there is the obvious questions from noobs!!
So Moral the problem is only with that one salted hash file and not ur backup.

So you can delete the entire folder, or just the "/sdcard/clockworkmd/.salted_hash" file. This worked for me.
Correct just the salted hash needs to go, there's no need to lose your backups. If you do delete the folder next time you do a nandroid it will only get recreated without the salted hash.

Hi,
I currently own a rooted SGS2,
I rooted it yesterday and it has Superuser and CMW.
I am trying to flash İCS REMİX ROM V7.1 XXLP2 4.0.3 resurrection
Ive downloaded and put it into phone/clockworkmod/backup folder (or whever it is supposed to be)
when i reboot my phone into CMW recovery mode and i choose to restoe the downloaded custom Rom, it says it cannot find system.img cache.img etc etc.. and then it says it has skipped the restore process.
when i checked the folder that i downloaded from İCS REMİX ROM V7.1 XXLP2 4.0.3 resurrection, all the files are in .tar format except the boot.img
anyone know how to solve this??
Some1 just had same problem, and I thinkbthe files are in tar format so if they are, learn more about flashing.

CWM backup
It is a CWM backup, you have to put the zip file you get after unrar in the folder sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. DO NOT UNZIP
I did that, and after I unrar-ed the downloaded file, I got a folder containing tar files , one md5 file and a boot.img
I also had some trouble restoring this ROM and what worked for me was to get a standard 4.0.3 ROM that you can install from zip from the sdcard and then only do the restore from the backup as they say in the intro of that thread.
Hope this helps

I currently do have a different 4.0.3 Rom installed from zip on my Galaxy s2,
so what you did was you did a restore from backup with ICS remix rom 7.1??
Yes I unzipped the File and copied the folder to the clockworkmod/backup folder. Then boot into cwm go backup and restore and restore from that date folder. Thanks to Wescrip and all the dev on that thread. They've done an awesome job so far.

I did exactly what you mentioned above, however I get error messages such as data.img not found cache.img not found,... then it says it's skpped it all and the restoration process becomes aborted...
is it because the files in the folder are in .tar format not .img?
That might be a problem with the Kernel or the CWM version you using. Not too sure.
What I can tell you is these are the steps I followed and they worked 100% for me.
1. For the first ROM i installed I downloaded this one - http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/roms/CM9ICS/update-cm-9-SGS2-01122012-signed.zip
(Thanks to max at galaxy S2root.com for the link)
2. I did a full wipe and factory reset from CWM and then installed this zip file from sdcard.
3. I booted my phone and let it start up. Then switch off again and go into CWM.
4. Then chose restore from backup and restore (as you will see CWM is now 5.5.x.x which might have a influence not sure)
5. Let it start up and bob's your uncle.
Edit : just fyi there seems to be a problem with the cwm that comes with that rom as it doesn't read the sdcard and I couldn't restore from it. So either you must flash a new cwm from odin when you want to restore to your old rom or install the first rom again so you have a working one and then restore.
So I've made a couple Nandroid Backups and I am unable to find them in any of my directories. The reason I ask is because I'd like to rename a couple of them before I forget what I was running. I usually use ROM Manager (i know.. this is the only thing i use it for) to rename my backup files. It's just easy that way. RM isn't seeing my recent backups.. I dl'd CWM Manager app and it sees the backups if I go into "restore".. but there is no way to rename them. Also.. when i go into my phones files and into clockworkmod folder.. i still only see a couple old backups.. none of my new ones are anywhere to be found.
So i guess I'm wondering wtf the backups went to, and how do i find them in my directory? Thanks, appreciate any info I get
also if someone has a good alternative to ROM Manager for renaming backup files.. I would appreciate that as well, thanks guys!
I get the option of backing up to either sd or ex_sd. I don't suppose that gotcha?
As far as renaming, I use the ancient method of keeping a separate .txt file with the nandroid name appended with ROM and kernel. I have to edit the text file when I change ROMs or kernels, but all un-appended backups subsequent to the last appended ROM/kernel are still from that preceding combination.
Capiche?

I've haven't gotten the option to where my backups are kept. Regardless I'm still unable to find the backups anywhere I'm my directory.

Backups are in clockworkMod folder. in /sdcard or sdcard/external_sd/ depending on your kernal. the newer kernals have external sdcard as an option.
Strange that you cant find them. Delete the CWM folder and take another backup?
Maybe sdcard is full and backups arent getting saved?

It is strange. Both my SD cards have plenty of space. The part that bugs me is that the app CWM Manager see's the backups if I choose restore, but yet I cannot find those files ANYWHERE in my phone. Believe me I've opened my clockworkmod folder countless times hoping to see them. When I boot into recovery and choose restore.. I only see the two new ones... then to get the old backups in recovery I have to choose restore from external SD. So My backups are there on the phone. They are just hiding somewhere and I have no idea where else to look. I'm really just trying to rename them. I know where to find em in recovery if I need to.. but it's bugging me I don't know where to find em in my phone directory.
Have you tried another file manager?

I've tried using RootExploer as well as the stock file manager app. Even when I plug the phone into my PC via USB and search that way I cannot find the backups. Its driving me mad LOL
Not sure it should make too much of a difference but 1 of the two "missing" backups was taken with stock illusion kernel, the other backup I'm missing was taken with the new Siyah kernel 2.6.11.
sent via Galaxy SII
Backups SHOULD be in:
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
or
/emmcs/clockworkmod/backup (which is /sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup on Samsung firmwares - when in CWM itself it's /emmc, same for CM7)
So.. after days of confusion I found the files.. thanks to everyone for replying. There was another "clockworkmod" folder in my external SD card. I didn't realize that as I kept opening up the first clockworkmod folder I saw... at the very bottom. Below my music, with a couple other zips, was the other clockworkmod folder... same as the one on my SD card- clockworkmod> backup> ..zips!
FINALLY!
thank for all the replies!
down below is a link to stock rogers kernel.
http://www.mediafire.com/?u4ch0ycljybq702
extract rar file to clockworkmod > backup folder
boot into cwm and go to backup and restore
choose advanced backup from internal sdcard
choose boot wait a min and voila!
note: you will see some AT&T bloatware but can be removed via Manage Applications
thanks to all the devs that helped me out on this one... greatly appreciate your time and effort!
If anyone has tried this please let me know. Thanks

yeh doesnt work it says MD5 mismatch
1.open sd card in windows.
2.download 2 softwares ( md5 calculator and notepad++) jus google them and install.
3.open clockwork folder in sd via computer->backup->(your back).
4.now right click on nandroid.md5 and edit with notepad++
5.green highlighted phrase is a key.
6.right click on rest every file in backup folder individually->md5 calculator
7.match the key to that of notedpad++ file
8.if they dont match copy key from md5 calculator and paste in notepad
9.save and exit.
10.now try recovery it;ll work.
i noticed it worked this way when i replaced the boot file and nandroid file with a previous made nandroid full backup

First off, don't rename a cmw backup... trust me, if you rename the zip it will cause an md5 mismatch when you try and restore and that always tends to happen when ya need it most.
Second the file you are looking for is either on your SD or your internal storage, the file si called clockworkmod or something like that, inside you will see a file labled backup. Delete as you will, but I always tend to transfer said files onto my pc and title an individual folder for each file, there for eliminated the irritation of md5 mismatch.

That's what I'm sayin . There is no clockwork mod folder. I do have it installed though. Thanks for the info. I didn't know that would mismatch the md5

You should be able to restore the folder , by booting into recovery , and running a new backup.
This will force place a new backup file to the SD card in the proper location.
If this does not work , or the backup fails to run, you must reflash the recovery using Odin ....g
you are using cwm and not twrp right? if using twrp the backups are in folder named twrp on internal or external which ever one you specified when backing up.
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup
Are you rooted?
Are you on a stock-based rom and not a CM-based rom?

You haven't flashed gapps properly or your gapps zip might be corrupted. Did you verify the md5sum of the zip before flashing?

Ok, I see that jokersax hasn't provided the md5sum for the gapps v3 package, so I'm providing it here - E859E11A84C6A47FD53635E1A4E6B538
Whenever an md5sum is provided, always check the downloaded file to see if it matches. If there is a mismatch, it means the file is corrupted and you'll have to redownload it. If you're on Windows, an easy way to check md5sum is to install this program - http://sourceforge.net/projects/cyohash/
After it's installed, right click on the downloaded file, got to CyoHash>md5. It will calculate the md5sum of the file, then check the verify field and paste the md5sum of the file which is posted by the maker.
If you're on Linux, you just have to open terminal in the folder where the file is located and type 'md5sum <filename>'
Now you redownload the file, check the md5sum with the one I've posted and then flash it. Before flashing make sure you wipe everything properly (boot, system, data, cache, dalvik-cache). First flash the ROM then flash Gapps.
Just for verification purposes, I see the same MD5 on the gapps3 I use.

Are you using standard CWM recovery installed from ROM Manager or are you using jokersax's modified version? You're supposed to use his modified version for ICS and JB ROMs.

Ok, do this. Extract both the ROM and gapps zips. Open them in side by side windows and copy the files in the gapps folder into the same respective folders in the ROM folder. Then in the ROM directory, where you can see META-INF, system, boot.img and other stuff, select all of those, use 7-zip to create a zip file or Right click>Send to>Compressed zip file. Be careful not to zip the folder with the ROM name. You need to go one level inside and zip the folders there. When you open the created zip file, it should show META-INF and other stuff. You said the ROM zip is flashing fine for you but the gapps one is not, so you might as well try putting the gapps files into the ROM zip once and for all.
