Is it missing in both Sdcard and Sdcard2?

What version of recovery are you using?
If you use 5.0.2.0 then it's on your internal storage if you don't have the sdcard installed. If you use the 5.0.2.6 from rom manager then it's on your /sdcard/ext_sd/ directory which is your external sdcard.

Hi, I'm having this issue where the CWM nand backup of the whole system fails. I upgraded to the latest CM10 version, and still it crashes.
It goes as:
CWM-Based Recovery v6.0.1.2
SD Card space free: 26140MB
Backing up boot image...
Backing up recovery image...
Backing up system...
Freeing space... [stays rather long here]
Backing up data...
Error while making a backup image of /data!
Any help will be welcome!
Try changing the path to internal SD , if performs backup the problem is SD ext.
it might be searching for the blobs, and if previous backups were on internal instead of external then it may be reporting an error
Actually I wiped on purpose both the blobs and the previous backups, as I wanted to start from scratch. Both folders, backup and blobs are empty...
OK, I just saw actually it´s doing a bit of the backup, and then at some point it crashes, halfway there. Couldn´t get the name, it moves too fast!
EDIT: This attempt I was doing it in the internal card, but it also crashed.
Is there a way to see the backup log?
have you tried wiping cwm data, or might be that it is searching for blobs that no longer exist-hence the problem?

How can I wipe the CWM data? That's something I never did. Thank you!
Anybody knows this? Thank you!
Try with other cwm version.

I'm using CM10, how can I change it? I always install the whole ROM zip, which also updates the CWM, but never changed the CWM manually. Which one could I choose that works with CM10? Thank you!

are you talking about CWM Manager or the Recovery..if it is recovery..ROMs do not and cannot change the recovery...
So it does not depend on the ROM which you are using..try using the CWM recovery 5.5 which is non touch...flash it via Odin...Read the OP and try

I was talking about the recovery. I think the .zip file that includes the ROM can also include a new recovery, as my recovery has been changing several times, whenever I updated the ROM. Moving from Wanamlite to CM10 made me change the CWM from one with touch support to the current one (v6.0.1.2) , with no touch support at all.
Huh? I just noticed I posted this in the wrong forum? It says Galaxy S3 Q&A, I thought I was posting for SGS2. Sorry for this...Could some admin move this post? Thank you!
Two things: I think I found the error:
Error while making a backup image of /data!
I:Can't partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
I:Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd

Do you know what is this /dev/block/mmcblk1p1?

hey guys i am new to this forum
i recently rooted my android device with clockwork mod 5.0.2.8 installed
i flashed a new rom and before flashing i made a backup of the existing rom
the rom was ok and so i renamed the backup as 'stock'
i decided to go back to the original rom and thought of restoring it but it says "md5 sums not found"
so anybody have any kind of help
i am using samsung galaxxy ace plus gt-s7500
you need to rename it to what the backup was called when you created the nandroid
Just make sure that your backup is in root directory of your sd card..
Just like this
Sdcard>clockworkmod>backup>2012-09-06.11.31.38>files
If it is not like that make like that
Press thanks if i helped you

I've done this before on my motorola xoom, had to just delete the backup, kinda sucks. Since though I do recall some recoveries there is an option to not check md5 sums on restoration of the backup so that is what you want to try do. I have a feeling CWM doesn't have this feature but you can check. TWRP I think does so check if there is that recovery for your device. But then there may be compatibility issues since you made the backup with CWM. Worth a try though. Good luck

Yeah, same with when this happened to me.
You could, if feeling brave, theoretically this should work but I've never tried it. But the backups in your /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder are .img files you could extract them to your computer and use fastboot to flash them onto your device
will definitely try

Hey guys i just recently rooted my phone
Before doing so i made a back up on ClockWorkMod 5.5.0.4 however when i try to restore it, it says no files found?
I haven't changed any of the file names/moved the files and i can see the files still on my internal SD card e.g. Sdcard/0/Clockworkmod/backup
I have even updated my CWM to version 6.0.3.1 yet still does not find the files
Anyone can help?
Thank you
I'm not familiar with original cwm. When you flash 4.2 roms, /sdcard becomes /sdcard/0
I know in philz recovery based on cwm, you can change this location but cwm no idea

Copy the backup files to /data/media/Clockworkmod/backup and see if they can be found then

Thanks bro i appreciate it - your advice worked!
It found the backup file straight away but i havent launched it yet.
Just wondering what does the restore feature do exactly...does it reset my rom to stock and recovery to the stock android recovery?

No problem
Your phone will go back to how it was when you made the backup.
The recovery / modem wont be touched so you'll still have CWM.
Sorry i forgot to mention that then is when i made the backup file..while i had the stock rom
Also im guessing if you use the recovery..it does NOT un-root your phone?
If the stock ROM was rooted when you backed it up, you phone will remain rooted if you restore that backup.
Thanks guys for all your help really do appreciate it
I just have one last question to do with baseband and roms. My baseband version is i9300XXELLA however i want to try the Android Revolution HD rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334 . This would still work on my phone right?

Yes. All basebands will work. Some better than others, but that is not possible to know which work best for someone without trying them all.

Have a read there.
Consider replacing cwm recovery with philz where you can change locations

I just did a downgrade to stock 4.1.1 using Odin (which flashed it back to stock recovery), but before I downgraded (I was on 4.2), I did a nandroid backup in CWM.
After the downgrade to 4.1.1, I reflashed recovery with the newest version of CWM using the unified toolkit and tried to recover the nandroid backup, but it said no file found. The backup was already on my external sdcard, so then I tried moving it to another folder as mentioned in this thread, but that didn't work either. I didn't have that exact directory as it was posted, but I didn't think that would matter, so long as it was copied over from external to internal or vice versa.

Same Problem
i coulnt find the clockwork folder as told above, yet i have clockwork 6.0.4.7 installed. help plz Using Ressurection remix 6.0 on my Note 3 SM-N900L. Root folder just shows data/media and no clockwork folder is there.
I see lots of people having restore issues with the data folder but couldn't find anyone having problems with backup on the data folder. Every backup I try to do gives me this error about the data folder not being backed up. Is there a better recovery app out there?

Well, it worked now. Was probably just a free memory issue.
I have installed Omnirom version 2.4.3 on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and now I have a few problems but I have no idea how to fix them. Basically all my ROM backups were in a folder called clockwork mod but now they are no longer there. Instead they are in /data/media/clockworkmod? I have tried to copy the back up ROMs from this location to my SD card but even though the files are all there. When I go in to recovery Philz Touch and try to install the back up it say no files found?
How can I fix this? Its as if my internal sdcard has been partitioned? How can I get it back to one partition? Any help would be greatly received because I am in a bit of a mess at the moment.

Thanks for the reply and link tallman. I have read complete thread but there's no mention of how to get Philz Touch recovery to find back ups on separate part of internal SD partition. To be honest its really confusing and I think I'm over my head here. Any help greatly received.

Sorted now. Long story but its sorted. I wouldn't have been able to sort it out and keep all my files though without your help. Thanks.

Thanks. I have gone in advance settings, changed path and the Clockworkmod folder shows but when I go to click on any of my nandroid backups it says file not found? maybe I will have to start again.
Do you know the easiest way to completely format the entire phone back to factory settings keeping recovery?

After selecting data/media did you rebooted recovery..
If you did then just check whether the backups exist in your int SD card after booting your rom..
