How come when u rename a backup folder, and tried to recover it.it says "folder empty or no files in folder?. All I did is rename that folder to a more easy to understand name, not the standard date and time.???
Using Cwm 4.0.1.4
EVO 3d hboot 1.5

Because it only knows to look for what it named the backup, not what you changed it to.
so the program that only works that you can specify a backup name is rommanager? I used rommngr before and paid app too .what happened is it upgraded my Cwm 4.0.1.4 to 5...something, that app does not backup just restarts my phone(but ask to create a filename and just restarts lol) and when I tried to use recovery (on hboot and rommgr)it just restarts my phone
I never used rommgr after that incident.and the instruction on new hboot EVO 3d 1.5 is to use Cwm 4014 Manually? Any other options.?

Revised on recovery part.
When i use recovery using hboot it just restarts,when i use ROM mgr there is no back up file,bec. It didn't backup in d 1st place.

If you Open the ROM Manager App there's a Option "Manage and Restore Backups" if you Click that, then Click the Backup you wanna Rename you'll be given the Option to Rename it from there! If you Do Make Sure you Don't Have Spaces Between Words!
Good Luck!

I think i just screwed up and damaged my system/chroot file by copy and paste from the /sdcard/ext2ubuntu/ to my system folder without backing up the original. I am now afraid to re-boot my phone. can someone send me a good copy of the original file. I need someone to copy their chroot file from their /system/xbin/ and send it to me.

Okay, will do. I get it now! I do have a few backups.
You could have just downloaded the rom that you flashed and pulled out whatever you needed yourself from computer or phone

Just want to be able to use the Rom manager app to manage my backups. I like to organize by the name of the Rom within Rom manager. I may be wrong but going into recovery mode only allows me to see dates and time of backup.

I'm guessing u mean twrp (TeamWin recovery project). I would stick with that, but it's more of a personal preference. Just try both and see what u like best. They are easily flashable with a pc38img.zip through the bootloader.

Yes, I did mean TeamWon recovery. I see there is a way to flash in Rom manager but am unsure if it will conflict with TeamWin recovery.
Thanks!

If its the same as the evo, then it shouldn't. It just replaces the other recovery. If you don't mind doing this, you can get a file manager (like astro) and go into the folder where your backups are and rename the backups. However, I would only use letters, numbers and they default symbol that they use in the backups (usually a - or a .)

All you have to do is download rom manager and flash clockwork from that! I am running it for the same reason you are. The back ups are over a gig though...

Yup. With TWRP, You could save space with the compress option.

What I do is I keep the nandroid backups in a folder on my computer. If I want to flash a recovery (which I never do unless I'm at home anyway), I just mount the SD card and copy over. I only keep one on my card saving those precious GB for other goodies.
Thanks for all ur input. Soon as I get to my PC I will hit the thanks button.

Standard folder backup name for cwm 4.0.1.4 is like 2011.11xxxxsomething. and when i rename a folder to a easy to remember folder e.g. "infectedrom".when i tried to use restore. It says files and folders are emtpy.all i did is just renamed my folder. ANY IDEAS????TNX
---------------
I dont use rom mnger(paid version btw) bec. The last time i used it.it screwed my phone.
It upgraded my cwm 4xxx to 5xxx,whenvr i use backup,it ask for backup name,but did not backup just restarted my phne,and if i use restore,there is no restore point(bec it never backup in d 1stplace).when using hboot 1.5(bootloader) when pressing restore,it dont go cwm,just restarts my phone.so i never used rom mng after that....

I'm using Amora recovery and I was wondering the best way to rename backups that are still able to be loaded without aborting
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I doubt that this is the right section for your post, but I would also like to know the answer to this.
Yes should be in general. From my experience with clockworkmod recovery you could not rename recoveries. Have not tried with amon ra.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
You can use Rom manager to rename backups, it will generate a New md5 I believe, I used to use it aalllll the time, it made life easier. i also used clockworkmod when I used it. Never tried it on amon ra.
Otherwise, it will probably be easier to put them in folders or something..
you also can't have ANY spaces in the folder name.
On CWM and Amon Ra, I have renamed without issue using Root Explorer. Just make your backup, reboot phone, go into the proper folder and find your backup, long press on the backup you want to rename, and choose the rename option.
hi all,
ive just installed 4ext recovery touch on my evo 3d (gsm).
I have cwm already installed and ROM manager.

Yes, you can uninstall Rom manager. But don't delete the clockworkmod folder on your sd, it holds your backups and 4ext can restore those.
And if you flashed 4ext, cwm recovery is gone.
thanks wikd,
if i remove rom manager will the folder containing those backups remain?
just a thought im going to copy all backups to my pc.

It should stay, I've flashed a lot or roms and that essentially uninstalls it, but my folder stays.
thanks again wikd,
I copied all backups and roms to my pc,ive now removed rom manager and cwm backup folder is still there.
have checked with es file explorer all seems well !
and again 4ext (free) is great.
Now you have 4ext i advise you install the 4ext updater app
It allows you to update to the latest version through the app, it's great!
Get it here
http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
thanks 00mpollard,
ill try that.
00mpollard,
is that not what ive got installed already ie free option?
It's the free option yes
00mpollard,
can i update using this free app of 4ext??
Yeah you can
thanks 00mpollard,
could you explain how to update 4ext?
