[2014-07-08] ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.5.0

Hi, new user MI2S here.

I found your CM 11 rom yesterday and installed it without any problems.

I saw your update this morning but cannot install it through CWM. When I choose 'Install ZIP from sdcard' > 'Choose ZIP from sdcard' it says "E: Can't mount /sdcard". Trying to mount sdcard manually gave me "error mounting /sdcard".

Besides the update file, there is no data on the phone. I did a factory reset through CM11, including storage wipe storage as I wanted a clean phone. So through CWM I tried to enable and disable TDB and format the data partition and assumed/hoped it would repair the partitions, but unfortunately it didn't.

Also I tried the factory wipe through CWM but no solution. I think I went to far with trying to solve this issue because now the second partition doenst start up anymore and my laptop doesnt show the phone anymore.

I don't really know what to do from here. Any advise on to what to do next?

I installed this one: "recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.2-aries-20131115-signed" and used the instructions on the OP:

Installation:
  1. Download latest recovery-signed-***.zip
  2. Copy the file as “update.zip” in the root directory of your sdcard
  3. Reboot into recovery and install the zip file
Through these instructions I was able to install CM 11.

Use fastboot flash recovrery with an another recovery isn't the most correct way, this may cause problems Like those

Im not sure if I understand your post correctly. I followed the instructions on the opening post. Are you saying thats not the correct way?

Not the best way,cuz flashing recovery using a recovery may cause problems like yours

Dude, you're like a ferrari on steroids with your quick comments, thanks!!!

So what would be the best way then? Miflash? Not sure how that works...

Hi i have problem. I was instal older CWM for mi2 and than CM10.2... for some reason i need to flash MIUI recovery and now when i want to flash CM again my phone boot into Mi Recovery 2.0.1.. i download and flash CWM 20131115 in miui but phone still boot into Mi Recovery. Can somebody help me? Sorry for my english...
 
there is 1 recovery for each system. In Xiaomi recovery switch to the second system and from there reboot in recovery, you will enter in CWM. from there, flash CWM to the first system. It will work (it occured to me 2 weeks ago).
good luck

Did you mean "1 recovery for both systems"?

o_O ??????
Do u know what's a recovery? Have u ever used a linux OS that's not android????
Recovery is an indipendent partition... It's not linked any way to dual system partitions....

I know what is recovery. When it occurred to me I was as surprised as you... but this is a fact :

What occured to me :
active system : system 2
-> restart in recovery
-> enter in Xiaomi Recovery
-> flash CWM as update.zip
-> restart (active system still system 2)
-> restart in recovery
-> enter in Xiaomi Recovery
-> restart to system 1
-> restart in recovery
-> enter in CWM
-> change active system to system 2
-> restart (to system 2)
-> restart in recovery
-> enter in Xiaomi Recovery
-> restart to system 1
-> restart in recovery
-> enter in CWM
-> flash CWM.zip as to system 2
-> change active system to system 2
-> restart (to system 2)
-> restart in recovery
-> enter in CWM
How can this be explained without saying that there is sort of "dual recovery"?

I agree with you, may it be possible because starting to system 1 that was freshly restored and not yet booted to that restore the factory recovery...

It is to me a little weird... and for now I don't want to try to reproduce it... At the end I had CWM in restarting in recovery from both systems and it is enough to me... :)

No, cuz recovery is only one, see partitions table, u didn't remove recoevery-flash.sh of miui Roms so it automatically flash mirecovery,

Ok you're right, so it seems to be that I didn't check the option to prevent updated rom to override the recovery and after starting to freshly installed miui, it override my CWM recovery...

Thank you for the explanation.
 
Hi, I have two Android devices aside my MI2S 16Gb, Huawei U8800 and Nexus 7 '13, both with custom wirmware, so I'm not new to Android, but I didn't really use dual boot on the MI2S at all since I've bought it 4 months ago. Yesterday I've flashed CWM (of course the one from M1cha) with Aries Toolkit, but I must note I forgot to put partition.sh to the right directory. CWM opened up alright, but when I tried installing CM10.2 (once again, the one from M1cha), it froze. I haven't really read much about this very CWM for this very phone, so I didn't understand what was going on. Here's the log:

E: TrueDualBoot: failed mounting data
E: TrueDualBoot: failed mounting data
E: TrueDualBoot: failed mounting data
I: checking for extendedcommand...
I: skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found...
W: failed to mount /dev/userdata_moved (Invalid argument)
Click to expand...

After that, I tried using Udater app. It didn't work. I tried factory resetting it, then saw the logs and tried to format /data and /data1 manually hoping it would somehow fix Dual Boot. Both times just froze.

I: Can't partition non-vfat: ext4
I: Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd
I: Can't format unknown volume: /emmc
Click to expand...

Then I tried wiping again and installing CM10 again. Again it froze.

Now I can only go to the recovery, and whenever I turn my phone off, it turns on again, so I have to remove the battery.

Please help, I don't understand what I should do now.

Edit: OK, I think usig MIFlash may help, but what was anything in particular done wrong?

/data partition is empty or null... Did u use fastboot -w or removed /data folder?

I tried wiping data through CMW, but the process froze. I thought it could corrupt the memory, but anyway there was no choise but reboot.

But doing this through fastboot or manually - no, I didn't.

From what I understand flashing stock firmware through MiFlash will help, although it'd be great if I only needed CWM for that.

Cwm can't do this, if /data is gone, it can't replace it, u need fastboot and data.img to replace it

what about "mounts and storage"->"format /data"? it should recreate the filesystem.(enable/disable TDB does the same)
