Root [ACS] Clockwork Mod Recovery for Transform Ultra

[EGAcls]

Pull down your notification bar and select "usb file transfer" or something like that... it will bring you to a page that will allow you to turn it into a mass storage device which is neccesary to transfer stuff while plugged into the computer. Is that it or will it not transfer despite doing that?

Does this link work? Samsung Transform Ultra Tutorial

Well the thing is I don't have that opinion in the notification bar anymore all I get is USB debugging thanks for replying anyways

 

[Loota]

Ok then do it from settings > wireless and networks > usb connection.

 

[ChoznJuan]

I think he is having the same issue as in this post http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?p=4057775. I've just started having the same issue. The computer doesn't even see the phone anymore. It will charge but no USB debugging or Mass Storage.

Yeah I tried that to I put it on ask on connect and also tried mass storage. I have tried this with 4 diff SD cards and none worked well they worked but i cant get any of them to let me trun on USB storage. I guess its not to big of a deal because I can push the files with ADB or i can just use the micro SD adapter but now its got me confused because all i did was flash the green theme like it said to.

 

[Loota]

That's weird I'm using the green theme as well and I have no issues with it :-(

 

[Bandaid]

I appreciate the hard work involved getting CWM up and running for the Transform. This is another must have that installed nicely on my wifes phone. Thank you!!

 

[2strokenut]

What else is it saying? Md5 mismatch?

That's it, just "installation aborted".

If it were an MD5 mismatch, would it tell me?

 

[Loota]

Yeah it would say something along the lines of

Checking md5
Md5 mismatch
Installation aborted

CWM does not work on my phone(TU) . it wont let backup , restore, flash no nothing . What the hell is goin on ?

Having the exact same problem, have redownloaded and re installed many times, always same thing. says cant mount sd card

This:
https://github.com/Blefish/android_device_huawei_u8800/issues/1

Seems to confirm what interdpth was saying causes CWM to reboot every 2 minutes.

Adding rmt_storage and it's dependent libs to a correct path should fix the CWM 2 minute reboot bug. The problem is....I have very little understanding of how to mount a recovery image, add the files, unmount it and then flash the new recovery.

I can do everything but actually mount an RFS partition image. I have tried various methods with no success.
_________________________________________________________________________________________

Edit: One more thing...I think I know why /system refuses to unmount after a backup or restore on the TU. Since rmt_storage dependant libraries are called from /system during the backup or restore, /system will refuse to unmount while it is running. I have yet to find a way short of killing that process to unmount /system....and I do not want to kill rmt_storage while it has something mounted(like /dev/block/mmcblk0p1).

~ # umount /system
umount: can't umount /system: Device or resource busy

148 1 nobody S 5932 1.5 0.0 /sbin/rmt_storage /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
That ^^^ is what is keeping CWM alive after a backup or restore is done.
_________________________________________________________________________________________

Edit2: With /system unmounted, I get this:
/sbin # ./rmt_storage
/sbin/sh: ./rmt_storage: not found

With /system mounted, rmt_storage runs. Also, after mounting /system and running rmt_storage manually, CWM stays up forever.
_________________________________________________________________________________________

Adding something close to this to a zip updater-script might allow it to be flashed without a 2 minute reboot in the middle of the flash:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/rmt_storage");
EDIT3: That ^^^^ does not work...at least in my CM9 zip. It freezes CWM.

Of course, you would not be able to unmount /system after the zip flashes:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system") <<< That would most likely fail.

So its basically a job from hell to try and get this 2 minute bug removed? what about the new kernel for FC29 update? has anyone tried to see if the 2 minute bug is still there?

 

[interdpth]

Mount during the init.rc script. It would be better to put rmt_storage in sbin so that it exists in just the kernel.

I hate rmt_storage

Alternatively, just remove the need for it in the kernel

And /sbin needs to be in your path

Ok, have a question, or maybe a problem.. not sure I'm getting

CWM for Transform Ultra Installer

Using zergRush to automate this
./run.sh: line 23: syntax error near unexpected token `All'
./run.sh: line 23: `echo (All credit for exploit go to the creators)'

when I run the run.sh in a terminal. I'm using Lubuntu, and although my phone does say that it's rooted, and I can access Superuser. Though when I try to boot into recovery, I get

Android system recovery <3e>

Volume up/down...blah blah blah

reboot system now
Apply update from /sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

E: Can't find misc
E: Can't find misc
E: update file is backed up: not updated
E: Can't find misc

I don't see where I would be able to backup and then install a Rom.

Any help would be extremely appreciated!

Read this:

The USB part: Configuring USB Access

OR:

There is another way to get CWM to your device:

Read this and flash CWM recovery using the quick unbrick instruction at the top:
http://androidforums.com/transform-...ing-return-stock-samsung-transform-ultra.html

Quick unbrick instructions: Read this How-To and and flash this:
Samsung Transform Ultra CWM: tu_CWM_recovery - Minus

OR:
Try running the .bat from a Windoze box.

 

[zomb98]

Thanks bads3ctor, going to try that out and see what kind of trouble I can get into with that.. And sadly I don't have a Windows machine to use...

 

[Loota]

Would wine work?

 

[hiasen]

Could someone repost a link of the windows drivers for the samsung transform ultra?

 

[zomb98]

Tried with Wine, but sadly a no go I get:

[Loota]

Let me ask you this... was it able to start the daemon?

Ok what's say we download the whole install package again... I'm thinking maybe something got corrupted or maybe its something simple like when you extracted you didn't choose everything (ie: the folder with the daemon in it). So please try redownloading, rextracting and retrying

 

[Loota]

Could someone repost a link of the windows drivers for the samsung transform ultra?

[concepttheman]

If n e 1 has a problem flashing your files are corrupt or incomplete. Use a home computer. For usb debugging. Turn off computer first then reboot (with phone plugged in) the restart phone. Hope this helps. Oh and make sure u pick the right rom.

 

[ittbattlesship]

i updated to 2.3.6 and lost cwm and can't get it back. tried odin and the batch...

HELP!!??

edit: Batch gives error of "hellions with blue flames after sending 189 zerglings and odin shows that it is installing but the phone reboots with stock recovery

edit: /dev/block/mmcblk0p13: cannot open for write: permission denied... WTH? FML!

 

[powerkane]

the update fked up all the root methods interdpth is working on a new one

 

[ittbattlesship]

Got cwm back! You have to pull the battery and cable IMMEDIATELY after writing recovery in odin. A great many thanks to weirdfate.
