Hi,
I S-OFF ed my HTC Flyer succesfully today. But there seems to be something wrong on my device, as when I do a full backup of my device CWM cannot access my SD-Card.
Also when I try to install a custom .zip I cannot access the sdcard.
I noted that some new folders have been created on "/mnt/scard", called "ext_sd", with these subdirs:
- clockworkmod
- data
- LOST.dir
this is the only directory I can access using CWM.
Any idea about what went wrong?
Thanks!
Did actually put it on SD card not internal storage... ie you inserted a SD card into your flyer?
Cwm needs editing so we can access internal storage will have a look at it today.

Yes, I have a SD card in my flyer.
Ok, that's where my problems come from now. I also cannot install a custom .zip.
I tried to permanent root it using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193885
It says install went all fine, but SU is not installed, and cannot run apps that need a rooted device (like titanium backup).
--> Is there a way I can reinstall CWM now?
Should it work if I just put the sdcard out of the flyer and then reinstall CWM manually using the fastboot methode? (fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.img)?
Yes that would work for really flashing cwm then reflash the su zip

What I have done:
- removed SD Card
- rebooted into fastboot
- installed CWM without the SD Card in the Flyer
- rebooted
- deleted "/mnt/scard/ext_sd/ *.*"
The folder "/mnt/scard/ext_sd/" can't be deleted, all files in there have been.
How comes?
- rebooted into CWM
- flashed su.zip (went fine without errors)
- rebooted
--> Device is still not rooted!
Any idea?
I have reflashed CWM, but have still the same problems/symptoms.
--> CWM not able to access the SD-card.
Any idea?
I noticed also that when I try to do a Backup with CWM it says: "SD Card space free: 15262MB", which is not true, as this is the size of the SD Card. On the card there is only about 5 GB free.
When doing a full backup I get these messages:
Backing up data...
No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backup up cache...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Please help me to get this fixxed.

I know this was a problem with android_secure not being recognized correctly on the Evo 3D. I have a feeling that updates will eventually fix this. Also you don't have an sd-ext yet as of now it is not supported in ay roms for any new device.
Post in the correct thread next time... Q&A.

Does this work on the Nook Tablet? Mine doesn't appear to function when I try to do a backup.
ROM Manager
I am using ROM manager on CM7 alpha12 without problems. I use it to boot to CWM recovery and back. I use TB and CWM for backup so I can't verify backup with ROM manager.

So you are saying that you did the newest CM7 upgrade and your CWM works without using a SDcard? When I try to do a backup in ROM Manager my tablet will reboot and then it comes up with a screen saying to power cycle again and if this don't fix it call B&N support
ROM manager
Correct - if I want to use CWM I just start THE RM app and select to reboot to recovery. The tablet reboots into cwm and I do what I need,for example,backup and repartition data and media then select to reboot to regular CM7 ROM w/o changing SD card.

Bummer Mine doesn't work and I have no idea how to fix it
I cant do a backup directly from ROM manager either.
BUT if you follow his directions and boot into CWM first, you can do a backup from there without a hitch.
If you want to name it yourself you need to go to the file in your file manager of choice, and change it there.
Can someone tell me where backups to internal storage are stored?
Thanks.
sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
I do believe you need a sd card for your backups.
It sounds like you do not have one, thats why you are not able to do a backup?
I have one and it creates a backup via internal. But when I try to backup to sd card, it tells me it failed to mount. So I backup via "internal storage." I can then go to restore and I see my backup from the internal there.
Dont have my tablet in front of me but it somehwere like: /mnt/emmc/clockworkmod/backup
You should find a clockwordmod in that general area if its like CM7 for other devices
You can manually mount and unmount your SDcard through clockwordmod as well. Have you tried to mount it manually before backing up
I just decided to try it again, booted into CWM and clicked "backup" and now its backing up to sd (free space showing as 30017MB, 32gb card so that makes sense).
Earlier when I tried manually mounting the sd card it was giving me an error (failed to mount). I have no idea what fixed it but its working now and I'm sure I'll be able to find the sdcard backup at the very least.
Thanks for your help.
The SD card doesnt always mount on its own in these devices. I HAVE noticed that..
Hell,it doent even want to mount with guidance, as you have just shown, and I have experienced as well..
Glad it worked this time..
sd mount
As has been noted in other threads, sometimes you have to take the card out and reinsert to get it to mount. I have had times when using the CWM menu option to mount sdcard failed. Turn the tablet over,click the card out and back in and it will mount

Definitely the case, but when in CWM it doesnt always mount even by ejecting and re-inserting the card.
At least from my experiences.
I've got a weird problem. I successfully rooted my new HTC Flyer and installed CWM. When I rooted my new device I only had a very small sd card at hand which I replaced a few days later by a fast 32 GB sd card.
After the replacement I reinstalled CWM 4.0.1.4 but every time I try to do a nandroid backup nothing seems to happen. A progress bar is displayed but there doesn't seem to be any progress.
This is what CWM tells me:
Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
SD Card space free: 25496MB
Backing up boot image...
Backing up recovery image...
Backing up system...
Backing up data...
No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backing up cache...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Generating md5 sum...
Backup complete! (obviously not!)
Using file expert I can see .android_secure in /sdcard (probably internal "sd card") but not in sdcard2 (probably my 32 Gb sd card). In /sdcard and /sdcard2 there's adirectory clockworkmod. The first one only contains a directory called download and a file .settings. The latter one contains a directory backup and under it directories for each backup attempt.
The question is: Can I trust these backups in case something is going wrong and I need to do a restore? Given the above error message I doubt that. So my next question is: What can I do to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance.
simulacrum
Yes you can trust the backup.
And what about the above error messages?
they just mean that you have no apps on the sd card. They always throw that error at me. It's fine.
I get the same thing when I do it on my thunderbolt. Go to your SD card under cwm/backup and you will find the backups. They should be named with the date you did it.

Boot into CWM and go to advanced and then show log. see if you have any errors. I would personally do a partition wipe. If this works, from a running system, go to rom manager and do a fix permissions.
Ooo
Yes, from CWM, 4th option down. 'wipe cache partition'
You will lose only things that are stored in the cache. Similar to clearing cookies on a PC. Android will create a new cache upon next boot (which will take a little longer than normal)

Might be your sdcard. Backup everything and format it with SDFormatter then copy your files back,if you keep receiving errors about sdcard you could have a faulty sdcard.
You could also backup your data with titanium backup, boot into CWM make a backup of current ROM and make a fresh install of a new ROM, there are stock, CM7 and MIUI as CWM flashable zips for easy install in CWM pick the one you need, flash it and restore your apps with titanium backup (preferably only app not app+data as you're getting databases errors).
Make a backup of your new ROM in CWM once you finish setting it up as you want for precaution. Remove your old backup.
NOTE: If you install CM7 again make sure you have latest build (Internal: Alpha12 | sdcard: Final). Also verify the md5 of the download so you know its not corrupted.

Spoke too soon. TB still won't let me backup due to insufficient storage space. Now it says that my SD card is 200mb and I only have 1mb free??? I took SD card out and put back in, no change, reboots no change. Evernote is complaining too. WTF How can a card just go bad??
Laptop is saying the same. Considering reformatting and trying again?

You mentioned that you flashed CM7 sd image right? so you have to resize the last partition to the end of your sdcard. Last partiton is the one that will act as "sdcard".

Using easus partition master, resized the last partition to use unallocated space and nook said 200mb SD card anyway. I don't get it.
----------
Used different software and partition resized. This time set up started which I didn't see before. All seemed fine, started adding some apps from the market since I have no backup.
Suddenly it rebooted and bypassed/ignored the SD card and booted into the previous set up. I powered off, removed/replaced SD card then booted but same thing. I started to post HERE and it rebooted with the SD card! Then it rebooted into the previous set up without the card.
Was.thinking of doing the internal install. Does this indicate a bad SD card or problem with nook seeing it? Considering a surface scan in windows?

It looks like because seems that the Nook Tablet unmount your sdcard or it unmount itself randomly, so if you are running a ROM from sdcard it's logical it will reboot because no system is found. Try with another sdcard if possible to know better if its a software issue or hardware sdcard issue.

my s3 is unable to restore nandroid backup until restoring data proses.
it will give error restoring data thus stop the proses.
already tried backup in internal & external memory but still fails.
my cwm version is 5.5.0.4 cf-v1.5
need advice & help.
i dont have problem with my s2.
thanks.
What a coincidence. I was going to send similar post . Yesterday I experienced the same problem. I wanted to go back to ICS from JB but CWM failed to restore data. Fortunately I had titanium backup as well, so I could restore all my applications.
The error message was "Error while restoring /data!". I have recovery.log if someone wants to look at it.
Use the same CF Root version and CWM to restore that was used to backup sometimes helps .
jje
I used the same version for backup and restore.
Maybe you should try touch recover 6.0.1.2
It work fine for me
Can I restore my old backups with touch recover?
Try using advanced restore and reinstall the components separately

Yes backward compatibility.
Ok. Will try it in future. Already recovered all my data from titanium backup.
never had this problem myself, have you checked the size of the backups, if they are less than 700 meg the backup process may not have worked, was there enough space on your're SD card to do the backup in the first place?.
Try copying the backup to the other SD card, does it copy ok, if so try to restore from there. Seems to be there has to be a reason for this that you should try to get the bottom of.
My backup was around 3.5GB. There was over 9GB free space on sdcard and 5GB free on extsdcard. Don't think there was not enough space.
i have backup & restored in internal & external memory yet the restoration of data still failed.
in addition i have tried restoring nandroid by "advance restore from internal sdcard" step by step & still failed when restoring data.
noted that i have used the same version on cwm with my nandroid.
hope someone able to give me a solution for my problem.
i never have this problem with my S2.
Problem solved!
I have manage to successfully restored my nandroid backup by flashing cwm touch recovery 6.0.1.2 from this thread click here.
:victory:
Same problem as kakiboyer, except a bit funkier.
got the 64GB microSD card off amazon popped it in and it just just went. no formatting no nothing.
backed up my original stock image using cwm5.5 and saved it onto the external SD card.
then flashed supernexus build 5 which gave a problem with my external 64GB SD card when i turned it on,it said it was damaged and needed a reformat (not fat32 im guessing) either way the flash was fine, i just need to reclaim the stuff on my 64GB SD card.
I then tried restoring to my original image and then removing the data that way, but instead i got the /data error (hence why i'm here).
Same set up as kakiboyer by the way.
using cwm version 5.5.0.4 cf-v1.5
so when i updated to cmw touch 6.0 it now can't see the external sd card (only the internal one).
BUT when i flash back to 5.5 it can see the external SD as well as the original backups, all my music/movie files etc. on the external SD.
So since the OS can't see the card, touch 6.0 can't see it and i can't revert back to the original image; how can i get my stuff off this SD card?
Fixed it!
Slapped the sd card into my windows machine and ran "chkdsk F: /r" with F: been whatever the sd card is!
got everything back, it was extFAT so copied everything off, reformatted to fat32 and put everything back on.
Happy days!
Topic sums it up nicely, basically, I am at the recovery menu, but my ext SD card is not mounting. I stored my backups and the new ROM on it and am unable to use the phone atm cause, well....bootloop. I forgot to backup my data before wiping, so what should I do now? Currently using CWM 6.0.1.2, and I can still access the Recovery Menu.
