I have a Samsung Galaxy S 2,
It's been rooted and has CMW on it with superuser
I ve downloaded from this website, the ICS remix Rom v7.1
After saving it to my computer, I unzipped the .rar file and moved the folder in to:
phone/clockworkmod/backup (like the post tells me to)
I then rebooted my phone into recovery mode, Wiped everything and then went into backup and restore, restore from internal sd card and then chose the restore files i downloaded from the ICS remix Rom v7.1
However, when proceeding with the restore process I get messages such as
cache.img not found, data.img not found phone.img not found etc etc...
is it because all the files I downloaded are in .tar format???
Can anyone help me with this??
You should see .md5 and .img files in the backup folder. TAR files are for Odin flashing I believe.

Don't post almost identical thread's within an hour of eachother... The moderators and also the users do not appreciate this.
In regards to OP, I have no clue on that particular ROM.
If the files are in tar, they are supoused to flash with odin, but if you knew the files are in tar files, Then I suggest to learn about flashing roms more or you might end up to bricked phone

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.

Just to check with you guys. is there any wipe of checkrom available?it appears that there is only the no-wipe version.
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.
Hello xda team
Since my Samsung Galaxy SII had many pre-installed apps, I have rooted my phone with the CF root kernel. Now I want to flash back to the original firmware. However, I was always warned in various forums, I shall first make a backup of my EFS folder. Immediately, I was looking for an app to back up, but I need a Hellcat Kernel. I've already found and downloaded the correct version, however, is in the. Zip file contains a folder named "modules_XWLA4" one cifs.ko file. Do I need to flash the file also, or I can ignore? If after flashing the kernel, the software to back up the EFS folder already included or do I have to download yet? Can the EFS folder secure a mistake of my cellphone occur destroyed? How can I later delete the custom kernel without notice it? Just the one-piece flashing official firmware XWLA4 and then use a USB jig?
I have tried very translate the text into English. But can still be errors in it. Please forgive me.

Do not extract the tar file.
As you have flashed CF-Root, your phone is already rooted and you can use Mobile Odin to flash another kernel.
Here is Chanfire's thread for Mobile Odin => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
A little bit work to do, as the free lite version needs the additional FlashKernel.apk to be installed manually. Or just buy Mobile Odin from the Market and everything needed will be installed automatically.
After this, do the following:
1. Connect your phone with USB cable to your PC and copy Hellcat's kernel tar file to your phone (directly into the root of the sd card).
2. Just start Mobile Odin app and select to flash a new kernel.
Then select the tar file for Hellcat's kernel from your sd card.
Please stick to HellcatDroid's description => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182922&highlight=hellcats+kernel
After flashing this kernel, you can start Companion app and backup your EFS folder.
P.S.: If you only want to backup your EFS folder, you can alternatively use the following app => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
It is a Windows application which saves the backup to your PC.
Good luck !
I tried to install a custom rom yesterday. Unluckily I treid to do it quickly before leaving the house. I rooted my tab, then copied the custom rom file and the Gapps file to my internal storage card and also installed a newer CWM version. At some point I must have formated my entire Date because there are no files left on my internal storage card. The tab goes up to the Samsung Logo and that's it. I'm guessing that there is no OS installed on the device. (Galaxy Tab 10.1n 3G - GT-P7501)
Now to my questions:
How can I copy the ROM File to the internal storage card using odin or any other programm? I can go into the download mode and I can start CWM.
Do I have to install anything else or should the Rom be enough?
I read somewhere, that I should copy the PIT File to my tab but I can't find the file anywhere!
After spending the last 4 hours looking for answers and a solution I hope that someone here can help.

You can't use odin to copy a file to your device and the mount sd-card option in CWM has never worked for me.
What you need to do is flash a stock odin file with its pit file and then you can reroot and reflash CWM.
Put the rom and gapps on your tab,
and hopefully then you can flash the rom everything will work correctly.
Here is a link to the odin tar file I use: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3mpm0lez9ikbzvf/Stock-3.2-HTJ85B.UEKMM.tar
You can find a tutorial for flashing this on XDA somewhere.
Thank you so much!!
It didn't work at first but after taking the tab out of the docking station and changing the usb port it finally flashed everything without hanging at the bin file. i will try to install a custom rom now.
thanks again!

No problem! I'm just glad it all worked out for you!
I am facing same problem but with TWRP recovery mode. I wiped out sdcard and all data. I am using P7500 tab. Can you help me through the process. All I can do it right now is go it recovery mode, nothing else.
well, just do what highriser posted, download odin, download a tar file that represents a Gtab ROM and flash it to your tab using download mode. As I am at work I can not provide you with links to the files (as online storage is blocked by our IT Security).
Check this thread and pay attention to the "UNROOTING & RESTORING STOCK RECOVERY" part.

Thanks. I managed to make it work. I was having problem finding PIT file.

I have been doing a lot of restoring, it would be nice to just be able to push the flash rather than geting an os installed, installing a recovery and then recovering.
I saw something for another samsung device and it involved dd'ing files and then putting them into a tar. but i suspect the /dev/xxxxxx files would be a different name on the GT10.1?
Thanks
Rob
I've tried opening a tar file before, in it was all .img files eg. system.img, boot.img and so on. So my guess is you have to create the .img files, tar them up and flash via Odin.

Right, but they are dumps of the /dev/system|recovery|... file systems from using dd to get a binary image, they are not the files like in a zip. which is why, if my reading is correct, zips actually get processed (extracted and moved) and the files in the odin.tar are binary dumps and they just get splatted back out into the file system like a Norton Gost restore. The trick is knowing which /dev/xxxx/ systems to pickup. I found a link right before leaving for work that seems to suggest if I get rooted and busybody on, I should be able to run an fdsik -l and get a list of the partitions.
I just got the stupid tablet back to stock ICS 4.04 this morning after running updates last night, so I hope to have some time play today.
