Tried to use rom manager to backup current rom, reboots into recovery and so on, but no backup file. Any suggestions?
Sounds like you dont have a current update.zip file on your phones sd card or didnt flash the current clockwork recovery. Check to make sure you have both folders on your sd card. Then it should work

For some reason, when I fastboot into CWM and go to Android Recovery and then "install zip from sdcard", my SD-Ext doesn't appear in the menu even though the SD card is installed??
Not sure what could be going on...
Yes, that is a known bug I official cwm

I didn't have any troubles beforehand when I installed Ninja ROM. Anyway to access it so I can install my bootanimation or should I place that zip file to the internal storage? Also, I made a backup of my current ROM and this sucks since I cannot access it right now (if need be)
Edit: Nvm, I had ROM Manager installed and that is what caused the problem. I deleted the program and reflashed CWM and everything is good now.
ext-sd is showing up for me.

Known issue. Please use this CWM
So MIUI is available and I want to try it.
But I will likely want to revert to my phone as it is now.
Right now, I am running 2.3.4, baseband I9100XXKI1, kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4, build XWKI4. It is rooted, has Superuser and ClockWorkMod, no Root Manager. I have no physical SD card.
How do I get MIUI on to my phone?
What, if anything, will that process delete?
What should I backup and how to restore?
ie. If I do a backup in ClockworkMod, is that effectively backing up the whole phone or just the kernel and ROM? ie. Is restoring a ClockworkMod backup enough to restore the phone to its pre-MIUI state?
Install rom manager
Backup your current rom. It backs up everything
Download miui from the miui website. You can also download it directly from rom manager.
Boot into recovery using vol up, home and pwr button and flash the rom. You will have to reinstall rom manager in miui.
Play with miui
Restore your previous rom from rom manager.

Just make backup and if you don't like miui, then you just restore. And everything will be back as you had before miui. Don't forget to wipe data and cache before flashing miui. Clear Dalviks cache aswell!

I recall being told on this forum that ROM Manager doesn't work on this handset.
can I clarify...ROM Manager basically just invokes the clockwork mod recovery, right?
So a backup in this way would backup absolutely everything, including the contents of the internal sd card?

Where should I be placing the MIUI .zip? On /sdcard?
Similar question re: backup - does ClockworkMod backup include the contents of /sdcard? Or is that not included because, technically, that is regarded a physical SD card?

Only backup your system, app and setting. Don't backup all your data on sd card
You can copy zip file to sd, go to CWM recovery menu, wipe all then choose flash zip file from sd card

I think what he might be getting at is can he place the zip on the internal storage of the device, and flash it? As it seems he doesn't own a SD card.
Just a heads-up: I tested MIUI on Friday, after making a full Nandroid backup of my VR3.0 with CMW.
When I did a restore of my VR backup afterwards, a lot of apps were force-closing, and even fixing permissions or wiping cache and Dalvik cache did not help.
What did work was a flash of CM7, allowing it to boot once, and then restore VR again (with a full wipe of course). Everything is running fine again now. I suppose this has something to do with the CWM recovery version included in the kernels (my VR had a 4.x version, CM was 5.x).
Hello guys,
the site has been very helpful to me thus thank you all who contribute..
I had rooted my phone with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 and everything was ok. (Supersu, CWM) After that i have updated offical JB via kies and rooted the phone again in order to have CWM and supersu again. There was no problem with the the second root but when i enter the CWM it says;
"this version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM V1.1 or newer. It appears you are running a different recovery. Variosuy feature have been disabled." I have flashed a newer version of CWM but the result was the same.
The backup menu that i had after first root was disapperared. When i tried to get backup via recovery mode is says "cant mount backup path" and i can not get backup...any help would be appreciated.
cwm app is not compatible with jb, boot into recovery with 3 button combo and all is normal
Thanks but when i boot into recovery mod and try to get backup, it says "cant mount backup path" is this because of no external sd card is installed ?

not sure to be honest,I use an older version so can't really say, but mine works fine
Anyone can help?

You are getting the error because you don't have an external sd card. Try using the "backup to internal sd card". That should help you I think.
Quick question.
I'm rooted with stock. I'm trying to complete a nandroid backup using Mobile Odin and a kernel from Philz Touch that will inject CWM recovery on my s2. (I'm on 2.3.5 GB, and found my kernel match through Philz)
I've read that all I have to do is open Mobile Odin, click file and select the kernel from my SD, do I need anything else? also will flashing delete my internal and external SD? will I have to apply all my apps again via TB?
This will be my 1st flash attempt since I rooted (using Odin on my pc) back in 2011/12, though now I'll be using Mobile Odin Pro.
I know it's a newbie question just need reassurance my SD (internal & external) will be ok, and that I don't brick my phone if indeed I need more files before attempting.
Cheers

Flashing processes through cwm don't delete your internal/external SD, if you flash a kernel through cwm your phone will be the same with different kernel

I backed up my i9300 from recovery, and now I want to copy the info to my PC, so I can format the device.
where is the backup saved?
Thanks
Either in your internal sd or external sd
Look for clockworkmod folder. Its in there i think :what:

depends on the recovery you're using. TWRP or clockworkmod
