Root [Boost Mobile] Testers wanted

[MrBobo]

I got a backup to work by formatting the sd through cwm first... nervous to try restoring though

 

[MrBobo]

I am was able to restore, I had done a factory reset, cleared the dalvik catch and formatted the sd card in cwm first though

Where is Sebastian404 something happening to her?

Turns Sebastian404 is a he. Last he said he would be on vacation for a couple of weeks.

 

[jimmymorfue]

Because MrBobo was able to restore with CWM
does that mean we are able to flash apks with no problem?

I was able to find a stock camera mod which lets us record in widescreen and shoot in it as well in HD

I think until we narrow down what exactly it was that allowed me to get a good backup we can't call this working. I also am too much of a n00b to know if the backup was "good", but I did get it to say I had a successful backup and then that I had a successful restore and the phone worked. Beyond that I don't know what to test.

I will try and narrow down what it is that allows the backup to work today.

I started with a factory reset, wiped dalvik and formatted the sd card through cwm... one or all of those things allowed the backup to work... another question is whether you have to do the backup without allowing the system to boot or if it works either way after the first few steps.

 

[MrBobo]

I have played with this off and on today, I was able to get the backup to work one other time after a factory reset and format of the sd card.

I tried adding applications after that to see if I could get a backup to work with non stock data on their but no joy after many attempts (also tried clearing cache and dalvik etc)

best I can see so far is for this to do a backup takes having a fresh phone with a clear sd card, but even that's buggy.

I will probably check out until we get another beta to test, too hard living without all my apps and phone set up how I like it... good to see it almost working though, great work to sebastian and woodstock for the efforts testing/building this so far.

 

[MrBobo]

factory reset seems to be the key, I wonder if it's a size restriction on the total package or something... I was able to do multiple backups after a factory reset

by the way I am rooted

Did you experience freezing/lockup in cwm mode after two or three minutes?

 

[MrBobo]

yes, it does freeze up if you sit on the menu screens very long and aren't doing anything, but I was generally able to do anything in there (the backup isn't reliable though, sometimes it worked and sometimes I didn't but it never worked with all my apps installed and after using the phone much).

 

[3nd3r]

well, atleast there is an update to this thread.

 

[Lordvincent 90]

Could it be that it is having trouble with/data/app (or/data all together)
Try factory reset, install a app or 2, then using a file explorer with root access, copy/paste the apk (and odex, if applicable) from /data/app to /system/app.(changing the app to a system) then factory reset- backup/restore.

Looks like where not gonna get cwm for the warp. It's been almost 3 weeks and no progress

I dont know. Maybe other devs might get interested. Sebastian404 has been off the radar for quite a while though.

definitely more than 2 weeks i'd say

 

[MrBobo]

I put a note out to a couple developers from other threads to see if we can get someone to take a look at the warp cwm while we wait for sebastian to get back, from what I was reading on porting the cwm it doesn't sound like it should be this difficult... probably just oversimplified in my n00b eyes though

 

[MrBobo]

if anyone wants to try and help us port cwm over for the warp, here is a guide to get started:

My Brain Hurts: Porting Clockwork Recovery to New Devices

we have testers, but just one developer who's currently mia (we miss you sebastian!)

It shouldn't be. The dev that was working on it didn't actually have a warp to test it on, and were relaying tests through this site.

 

[PlayfulGod]

k I may be able to squeeze this in. Did the original dev have a github of his devices configs etc?

Do yall have root so you can get dumps? If so I need a dd dump of everything. I also will need the following from adb or terminal and saved to a txt file. If done from terminal add /sdcard/ for the destination and then copy to your pc n upload or attach em in a PM.

cat proc/mtd > warp-mtd.txt

cat proc/cpuinfo > warp-cpuinfo.txt

cat proc/partitions > warp-partitions.txt

cat proc/mounts > warp-mounts.txt

Once I get all those I can help with the dd cmds to get the dumps. If anyone already knows how to get the block mounts to get the dd dumps thats great too, just get get em, upload n PM me the link(s).

I am at work and I work alot more than the average person but if nobody has helped by the time I get off of work I will get that info for you.

I thought about it and since I cant use ADB here at work I decided to just use Root Explorer.

Hi,
I'm Russian user of ZTE V9+ clone (Megafon V9+). On 4PDA forum we're trying to use this CWM port, and it looks like it can work on our device! The only problem, as you can see in above posts is a reboot during recovery/updating after about 2.5 minutes.
I have a rooted device, so I can provide any information you need. It will be great if we have this port, working on multiple ZTE devices
Thanks!

 

[MrBobo]

I couldn't get romdump to work in terminal or adb, I got permissions issues in adb and illegal operation in terminal, if you point me in the right direction I will give it another try!

If you already root, you should be able to copy partition from inside /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2 and put it in your sdcard. Be aware that some of the files here are extremely large.
Here are the partition list:

Spoiler

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 dbl.mbn
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 osbl.mbn
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 cefs.bmn
/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /persist
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 adsp.mbn
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 amss.mbn
/dev/block/mmcblk0p10
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 EMMCBOOT.MBN
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 boot.img
/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 recovery.img
/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 splash.img
/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /system
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /misc
/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 /cache
/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 /data

You can also use dd from rooted shell to copy partition to sdcard.

For example to copy boot patition to sdcard:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p12 bs=4096

Actually the directory on the Warp is /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/
I dont know if that makes a difference but I always thought that may be the reason for our errors. If the Custom recovery is directed to /dev/block/ instead of /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/ that is.
