I'm trying to back up my stock rom through clockwork mod recovery but I keep getting an error while backing up. I'm tempted to just flash a new rom but if it messes up I'm stuck. Please help!
Are you low on storage space?

So i want to get rid of Obsidian V2 , the GPS doesn't work for me and its getting on my nerves. I looking at the direction to flash a new rom but for some reason I went into clockwork recovery found the new zip folder,click it, it reboots back to Obsidian V2 again. The new zip is axura201.
Is there something I'm doing wrong I'm following method 1 of flashing roms, I'm just trying to get rid of this rom and replace it with a rom with working GPS and flash.

Make sure to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery first. Then reboot into recovery and flash your zip in there. Also it helps to clear cache first as well once in recovery.
cant get rom to load on vibrant says" E:cant open/cache/update.zip
(bad)
installation aborted
What rom what recovery ?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
sorry im new axura2.2 i followed the directions from austiclees on youtube oclf-titinium back up-rom manager, loaded rom from rom manager
When you boot the phone into clockwork recovery try to load .zip from sd and select Axura. Try it that way and get back to us.
im actually having a similar problem. Ive tried installing clockwork a few times now.
install rom manage from market
install clockwork
reboot to recovery
backup.
im trying the backup a second time now. i notice i have less space on my internal sd, so im assuming the first backup went fine, but when i reboot im still going to the samsung recovery and not clockwork.
i just uninstalled rom manager and im trying the process all over again.
am i doing something wrong?
Ok guys heres the deal....i recently got a samsung fascinate from my sister cause I couldnt mod my inc any more. ok so....i got the phone rooted. i have su perm. i downloaded rom manager and installed it. now heres my problem. i can preform a backup no problem, but when i go to restore that backup it boots into clockwordmod and begins and then get an error about erasing boot img. or something like that. can tell exactly if i get some help from this. also cant install custom roms like i can with my incredible. i know it can be done cause i see roms and all for this phone. can someone please please help me.
Thats because cwm3 will not perform nandroid restores on stock roms. You need to flash cwm 2.5.1.x red recovery. Its the best recovery imo for any bml(touchwiz) rom. Go over to my guide in general section and you cand find cwm 2.5 in section 2&5. Oh and ditch rom manager...manually install cwm via odin!
If you're coming from an incredible, also keep in mind you don't have to be rooted to flash roms either, you just have to have a custom recovery. There aren't really any modifications like rooting procedures, S-OFF, etc, required for rom flashing, just odin a recovery and flash your selected rom.
Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've tried searching the forums and using different methods to recover it, but none have worked so far.
SO I flashed the ICS Domination theme over Diet ICS rom, stuff was continuously force closing, so I factory wiped with the intention of re-flashing just the rom... after a reset the phone was stuck on the samsung boot screen.
I've tried using Odin to load the stock Rogers rom, it says it worked, but trying to boot the phone up its stuck on the samsung boot screen.
Am I missing something? Is there anything you guys can suggest I try??
use ODIN to flash a new recovery.img and restore from a nandroid
I didn't make a nandroid backup (i know, retarded), where can I get one and how can I push it to my internal memory considering the phone won't start up and I can't flash from external SD
Hi,
I have a rooted (using Indirect's method, I believe, with help from Albert W.'s video) Nook Tablet 16GB. I'd like to try a custom ROM and installed GooManger (1.2.1). I can download a recovery file (openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1 -blaze.img), and it says it installed it, but when I try to boot into recovery ("Reboot recovery" option) it just reboots normally. If I try to browse compatible ROMs, it says "No roms were found".
Googled but could not find an answer. I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction!
Thanks,
Pat

I think you're trying to use the wrong recovery file. Try downloading CWM or TWRP from the links listed in the first post of this thread -- I've used both with no problems on my NT.

Removing CM9
HELP! I installed CM9 on my nook tablet 8gb and I am not happy with it. I want to take it back to stock so I can load CM7. HOWEVER I cannot find a single website with this information. I keep trying to power it off and then hold the power and n to no avail. The cyanoboot menu just loads and I cant load any of the ROMs. Its really pissing me off and I would like to just get rid of this os. Can anyone help?

You don't need to go back to stock to downgrade from CM9 to CM7. All you need to do is boot into recovery and flash the new ROM. With that being said, it would be well worth your time to start by installing Titanium Backup and backing up your system before you do anything else... That will let you restore any apps you've downloaded and want to keep (along with their settings and data), which will eliminate one headache after you flash the new ROM...
Review this thread from Lavero.Burgos about installing a customer recovery on your tablet. You've already got one installed if you're running CM9, but the thread has got lots of really good info, and if you have the Clockwork Mod 6.x recovery installed, you need to replace that with Clockwork Mod 5.x to flash CM7.
Next, check this thread from Celtic Web Solutions. The link to the internal CM7 ROM is in the first thread, along with the instructions for installing this ROM to your emmc (internal) storage.
Now, when you start you tablet, instead of holding Power + n to boot into recovery, wait for the Cyanoboot splash screen to open (the one that says CYANOBOOT, not the animated CM9 splash screen), then press and hold the n button until the boot menu appears. From here you can select to boot normally into CM9, into your internal recovery, or into a recovery.img loaded on your SD card. Select one of the recovery options, and you should be able to do a nandroid backup of your device, then install CM7. Since you're changing to a completely new ROM, I strongly recommend that you do a factory wipe/reset as well as wiping the cache partition and Dalvik cache.
NOTE: There's a big difference between an Titanium Backup backup and a Nandroid backup! You'll want to do both as you go through this. Titanium Backup will take a snapshot of your apps (including the settings and data associated with them) that you can restore after installing the new ROM. Super helpful, since you don't have to re-install everything from the Play Store, nor do you lose data like savegames, etc. Nandroid runs from recovery mode, and will do a complete image of your system, including the ROM. It protects you in case you run into a major problem while flashing a new ROM -- it's saved my life a couple of times...
