Hello, when i try backup my current default ROM, everything goes fine until it reaches .Android_secure and says "Error while making a bacup of /sdcard/.android_secure!"
No idea whats wrong.
I've tried backing up via the ROM manager and the Nandroid method.
Using ROM Manager to backup is a nandroid backup... the back up you're referring to is just the app data you had installed on your SD card. Perhaps you can choose to restore the other partitions but leave out the android secure image...
Edit: Oh, I misunderstood your post. You're trying to back up... well, you could move the apps you have on your SD card back to your phone and then create the backup. That will eliminate the need for the android secure image.

The screen on my vibrant lost all color so I had to get a replacement from TMO. I had the "old" phone rooted but still using the stock ROM and everything else.
Is there a way to transfer all my apps and user data to the new phone? I tried doing a Titanium Backup and a Nandroid backup. I saw a thread for a HTC Hero but the file names don't seem to carry over to the Vibrant.
When putting Titanium on the "new" phone, it does not recognize any backups, even though I moved it to the ext-sd using root explorer. Going into "Batch" in TB, it does not recognize any apps other than stock. I tried moving the TB backup to various areas of the SD card with no luck. Obviously, the "new" phone is rooted".
Using Nandroid, I backed up the ROM. I can see the folder with the 5 files within. Opening ROM Manager on the "new" phone and going to "Restore", it doesn't see any backup. Like with TB, I tried moving this folder around to see if it helped but didn't.
I even reverted back to stock (again) on the "new" phone using Odin but it still can't see any backups.
Sure, I can easily re-download all of my apps but the data will be lost. I feel like an idiot with this because it sounds so simple (and maybe I am), but I would appreciate any help using noob language. Thanks.
If you have a backup of your nandroid its pretty easy to retore it to your new phone . First install RomManager . Once you have RomManager installed you should have a folder named "clockworkmod" in this folder is a folder named "backup" . Now that we have these folder we can transfer our backed up nandroid to "backup" folder . Now reboot to clockworkmod and do and nandroid restore of that backup we just transfered . Remember to also flash the correct kernel for your backup .
TitaniumBackup works the same way just install TitaniumBackup and replace the "TitaniumBackup" folder with your backed up TitaniumBackup .
Click the Thanks button if this helped you
Thanks for the help. I just needed the correct folders.
Nandroid backups from CWM recovery goes to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
Try performing the restore from CWM recovery instead of ROM Manager.
Remember to have the matching kernel flashed before you perform the nandroid restore.
TB backups go to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup
Keep in mind /sdcard is the internal sd.

TB backup folder replaces /sdcard/TitaniumBackup it does not go in that folder .
Hi all
I have rooted my phone using the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT V2.0 by mskip. I have been trying to create a backup of the stock rom on my phone, but when I try to in CWM recovery I get error message "error while making a backup image of / data". Can anyone help me with this or tell me how to make a backup of the stock rom.
Cheers in advance

When you do a backup, the .android_secure folder form the external sd is backed up as .android_secure.img (It's hidden in the backup set and not included in the md5 checksum). This always gets backed up, even in an advanced backup where data is excluded.
Then when you try to do a full_restore from this backup, after it restores /data it attemps to restore .android_secure.img and fails formatting the device, which kicks CWM out of the restore function and back to the main menu.
I've not tried it with the sdcard removed. I didn't know it would fall back to the internal sdcard. Easiest way around the issue (for now) is to erase .android_secure.img from your backup folders.the backup folder will be pushed to thr cwm folder in /data/media internal storage and your phone will reeboot into cwm to restore the nandroid backup...If you use samsung toolkit ; the point n5 is the backup and restore entry ,then passes to the point n10 and performs restore \data\media (internal virtual sd card) if the backup is done correctly you will have no problems ...
Cheers for the advice but I used the complete tool kit and made a back up that way.
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 .

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!
I rooted my new sgs3 i9350 and installed cwm. Do I need to do a backup? And how exactly do I do it. So new to all of this, thanks

You can use titanium backup for game save,app, message.. backup.
Cwm recovery/backup and restore/ choose wether you want to backup to internal or external sd (I suggest external)....this will basically make a complete system image that you can restore if anything goes wrong, also backup your efs and copy backups to computer.
Backup user apps and system with Titanium as well.
Hi,
I installed Greenify and hibernated some apps and thereafter the phone restarted on its own and is stuck in the RevoltJB logo screen.
I've tried almost everything, from taking the battery out, clearing dalvick cache and flashing the RevoltJB rom again but it's not booting.
I've made a nandroid copy to the Sd Card, system / app, data files say complete but then when it's backing up the music/videos/pics it fails. Not enough memory.
Does that mean that the nandroid backup of system apps (sms/call logs) and my sisters apps/data (whatsapp message history) haven't been backed up?
I also made a internal copy and that seemed to backup everything. Hardly any pics or music on internal memory, plus it had 8gb free.
Does that mean that both the internal and sd card backup the same things?? And can I factory reset and reinstall the RevoltJB rom and then using titanium backup get back her whatsapp messages, her sms and call logs not to mention her stupid level 50 candycrush data?
Please can someone tell me if I've been able to make a successful nandroid backup on either the sd (even if it only backed up system/apps) or internal memory and whether I have any chance of a recovery of her sms, whatsapp and candycrush data.
PS if i reinstall jb rom it won't delete my nandroid backup will it...?
Thank you for your replies in advance. I'm going crazy because she's in tears, so please can someone help me.

You don't need to worry much after making the nandroid backup you can safely wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and reflash the ROM, also along with TB try using the app nandroid manager to restore the apps,call logs, contact's etc. from the previous nandroid backup, and be careful to not format /sdcard partition its where all your data like your music,videos, nandroid backup, and other data is kept.
Hmmm seems you don't use your internal SD card much, and making a backup anywhere is not problem it will be the same thing done twice whether it be in the internal or the external SD card, just try to make a successful backup by freeing up some space, also if you have the patience to read a lot try using Aroma file manager to manually handle the required files like the contact database and stuff, though I would advice a noob to hold off until he's more experienced.

Stop being melodramatic. Bricked phones don't boot. At all
I think you froze a system app....look at @MistahBungle 's signature and read what it says.
Do a factory reset and a ROM reflash.This is the only thing you can do.And yes,all her messages and game data will be gone (you can maybe extract them manually from the Nandroid backup)
