Problem while saving actual ROM in CWM Recovery - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've tried to make a nandroid backup with the CWM-Recovery today.
But it says that it cannot access a special folder of the system.
Here are the displayed Logs:
-- Copying media files...
Successfully copied meida files.
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating application ...
Successfully updated application.
-- Applying Multi-CSC ...
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/XEG/system'.

Now my Question is if the saving Process was successful or if the error says that it was unsuccessful and how can i repair it then.
Thank to all.

I am using the default Kernel of my Android Device.
The Device is the 1&1 Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100.
My Kernel version is:
2.6.35.7-I9100BHKJ1-CL630390 [email protected] #2

I don't know how to change the Kernel.
I've installed only an root exploit that I've found on the web.

- Download the 5.92 version from here: http://dorimanx.shine.sk/
- Copy the file to ur phone (internal or external sd card)
- Go into recovery menu and then choose "install .zip from sd card" (then internal or external, where u placed it)
- flash it
- reboot
After this u r using the Dorimanx kernel.
Now try the backup in CWM again

Okay. But does this error say to me that the nandroid backupping was unsuccessful or can i handle it like a notice so that I've got a correct nandroid backup un my system ?

I think it just "aborts" if it fails.

OK. I don't have this folder on my System. So I think it is either an application error so that it would not create that folder or it is not created because the backup doesn't run complete.

I think u won't get further with this kernel.
It's written that it isn't possible to get into the CSC.
So maybe it's because the kernel is not able to OR because soemthing wrong with the CSC.
Backup all ur important data to PC and try, or u can life without a nandroid backup

Okay. I saw in my Smartphone, that everytime I've tried to start the CWM Recovery it was landing in the Android System Recovery. It doesn't matter when I start the Backupping over the ROM-Manager or over the 3-Button-Mehtod. I don't come into the CWM Recovery.
My installed Verison is the 3.0.0.x version for Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100). When I choose the Samsung Galaxy S2 (galaxys2) CWM Recovery version, then i am coming into the CWM recovery tool but then it hang with that message

Should I unroot my Firmware perhaps firstly and reroot it with odin before i start it again ?

Hm no answer right now. Can anybody check my last post please.
Thank your for helping me.

Right,with what you are saying you do not have permanent cwm and you mention rom manager.That doesnt work properly with s2 so if I was you I would
Flash that kernel mentioned earlier or
Get siyah 2.6.14 .tar kernel and flash it using odin

[Q] Can I do this to flash a CM ROM?

Hi, I'm really new to this Android thing and a friend bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace. He's worst than me and doesn't know what a ROM is..
Well, I want to install THIS CyanogenMod but it says the phone needs to be in 2.3.* and my friend's is in 2.2.1.
I searched how to update to 2.3.* and I thought updating to 2.3.3 by flashing THIS VillainROM will work.. and after this ROM, put ClockWorkMod (required by the CM) and flash the CM..
I want to know if this will work or if I'll brick my friend's phone (I prefer bricking my phone rather than my friend's). Hope to hear some reponse soon, thanks!
VillanROM is fine
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
Ok, so Will this procedure end up fine?
I would also like you to provide me with some guide to install ClockWorkMod if I don't have adb or that thing..
Did you ever bother to check the forums, or at least forum search
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168417
Tap-a-talked from my Galaxy Ace
Yes I checked, but when I go to the instructions HERE it says
"Nothing found for Groups Samsung-Galaxy-Ace Forum Topic....
This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.!"
So please help!
There is a trick like reading the second post of the thread too
Tap-a-talked from my Galaxy Ace
I'm Not familuar with your Galaxy phone but as it is samsung you should be able to you odin or swupdate to flash any SUPPORTED rom. Also first thing I have done with any phone regardless of manufacture is obtain root then flash recover and lastly flash the rom of your choice.
Not much help but hope it gives some direction
MOST IMPORTANT read extensivly about anything you are considering flashing BEFORE you do it. $500 dollar paper weights are over rated
Well, thanks for help but I have another problem
I connected the phone to Skies and it said a Firmware update was available. I updated the phone and ended with 2.3.4.
I was very happy and thought: "Great! I have 2.3.4 so now I can put the CWM and install the CyanogenMod "
I copied the CWM to the SD and installed it through recovery. When I tried to enter the CWM App it said I needed Superuser acess and the app closes..
I tried using SuperOneClick v2.1.1 and also opening in recovery mode and selecting "install .zip from SD" with a .zip supposed to root 2.3.4 but none of them worked..
What should I do? HELP!

You don't need root. Flash the clockworkmod recovery and you're all set for the final rom flashing.

Personally you're better off with Clovkworkmod 5.0.2.6 , just flash whatever custom ROM you wanna flash

But how do I flash? I have The Cyanogen in my SD, just turn the phone off and put it in Recovery mode and select update zip from sd?
Recovery mode
"Install zip from SD card" NOT "Install update from SD card"
Select your CyanogenMod zip file
Wait for it to finish
Reboot device

Try factory wiping. If that doesn't work you're going to have to flash the ROM again. Might as well go for CM9.

You have to mount it. Go on mounts and storage from recover and choose mount sd card. Then when you choose which zip file to install click on 'from internal sd' and it will take you to your external sd.

Did you use Rom Manager to boot to recovery? I don't know if it's the same on i9100 but the i777 has issues with Rom Manger, with the recovery part of the kernel. I know CM comes with, I haven't researched it but maybe something to look into...... It kinda sounds like you formatted the ROM. GL

Flash siyah kernel via odin and that should give you a fresh copy of clock work recovery if its corrupt?
Rom manager is nothing but trouble.It done the same thing to my x10i and my sg2.
It took several hours to get them back to running cwm(so I could restore my nand backups).
I think I used doom lords easy rooting kit for one and Odin for the other.
I've done a lot of stuff on several phones and I can state that after using RM it left the phones as close to full brick as you can get........lol

Yup, there's your problem. Rom Manager flashes incompatible kernel.
Simply boot into download mode and flash Siyah kernel and you will be back up and running.
Sorry mate it dint work... I flashed siyah kernel and now the phone doesnt proceed further from Siyah kernel logo...
can any one provide me way to flash a rom using odin...
i can use CWM... not even with the hard key combination...
only way left is i guess Odin..
Odin cannot flash .zip formats and all the rom downlodables are in .ZIP format...
is there a way out?

Hi try this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21659039 I got stuck on boot animation to RM and this guide fixed it. There is a full recovery package and guide included but it will wipe your device as it uses the CSC partition of odin. Read it thoroughly and see if it helps in your situation. All the best.

[Q] Kernel for nandroid backups? - JB 4.1.2 leak

OK thanks for that. Guess I'll have to wait. I really want to be able to do a nandroid backup in case things screw up and I have to spend ages restoring everything.
I never had problem with backups on Philz kernel. At least for me to do backup and restore working well.
Can't seem to install this! Just tried flashing the latest - PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSJ-OXX-3.70 - using Mobile Odin. It just reboots the phone and the kernel isn't flashed. Tried it twice with/without the md5 tag but didn't work either time. What am I doing wrong?

Well, it's rooted - not sure about properly. I flashed a file (posted on XDA) which rooted it after flashing the ROM. Everything appears to be rooted - Superuser, Busybox, etc
Problem is I can't use Odin cause I'm on a Mac so I have to use the mobile version.

Just out of interest I just booted into recovery <3e> and I get an error message in red at the bottom:

I'm confused. Does this refer to the root "update.zip" or to the kernel which didn't flash?

When I try and flash Philz kernel, it selects OK in Mobile Odin but when I press "flash" the phone just reboots normally, not into recovery and the kernel isn't flashed.

Did you try to download the file again? Download the kernel again,make sure it is finished,and flash it again.. mybe the file you download earlier is unfinished or interupted.

Huawei u8800
gingerbread 2.3.5
kernel version- 2.6.35.7-perf
build number - U8800V100R001C00B526G001
I had rooted my phone using 'Easy Rooting Toolkit (v-4)' by DoomLord..I was trying to install custom roms by cyanogenmod.. for some reason i was not able to install custom roms and was getting a status 7 error...so i did sd card partition from Rom manager..but instead of external it did an internal partition..after that my phone is recognizing many problems...many programs are force closing at anytime..if i do anything on phone and reboot then my phone goes into bootloop...then i have to reset data, clear partition and then reboot...then my phone starts properly....i am not able to root or install custom rom because as my phone reboots it remains into bootloop...
What went wrong ??? What should i do ???? How do i proceed ??? plz help me ..i searched many forums but did not get any good answers..pppppllllllzzzzzzz help!!!!!!!!!

Huawei(s) have locked bootladers... Which means custom recoveries (cwm, twrp..) are next to impossible to do/use, which means no backups to save you when $h¡+ happens, which also means working ROMs are virtually nonexistent... Sorry bro.. Might be time to exchange/trade in/return..

Does the boot loop take you back to recovery? And if so, does your nandroid restore/work properly?
