I'm using CM7.2 by Lovetz.
When I'm trying to make a backup of the rom via recovery
It says error while backing up /system.
Is there any other way to backup and restore my rom?

No, complete backup can be done only via CWM recovery. You can try mounting system first and then backup again. If that doesn't work then try re-flashing the rom and using stable version of CWM recovery (v4.0.0.9)
Make sure you have enough free space on your SD card. 300MB-1GB
Depends on the ROM you are using and no. of system apps and other stuff.

Use CWM recovery v4.0.0.9 or 5.0.2.6. It has worked for me.

Hi all...is it possible to backup my current rom? If so, how?
Thanks
when you boot into clockworkmod you can do a backup there. i think it makes a backup of everything and then you can restore using the clockworkmod...

I don't think this belongs in the development section.

Greetings XDA-World.
Well, Firstly, id like to mention that today is my first day as a registered member of xda. And Yeah, im just 15 so you can call me a noob or inexperienced, i dont mind.
Well Anyway, before i flashed CyanogenMod 7.2 RCO by vo-1, I took two backups of the original stock firmware, one using CWM 4.0.0.9 and the other using CWM 5.0.2.6. However, i decided to go back on stock using the backups but failed, and my Ace is stuck on bootloops. If someone could help me get these backups to work, i would be really grateful.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Admins im sorry ive posted in the wrong place or wrong method ot whatsoever, im a newbie]
Thanks,
UsmanJ

You cannot restore Stock ROM's backups using CWM. If your stock rom was on ext4 filesystem then it could have been possible. But, I think you made a backup of a stock ROM and not a custom ROM based on Stock ROM. Lol, a bit confusing but you cant restore that backup as far as my experience says.

Thanks brother. Yes, i could guess that because most custom rom format the system partition as ext4 because it occupies less place. Isnt it possible that we format the System partition in a way tht is supports the initial backup?
Sorry if im too newb.

Ney. Cuz the original backup was taken on a rfs filesystem. You can try one thing. Flash stock rom via odin, root your ace, install ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.6 and then try restoring that backup. Not really sure if this will help but there's no harm in trying

i've been using cyanoace.. a really good rom by behradgh for a few months now. suddenly my phone goes into a bootloop. is there any way of rectifying this without reflashing because i dont have a recent nandroid backup? any inputs are greatly appreciated !!
Try reflash or use adb logcat to unveil why it not boots

You shouldn't lose any data when reflashing
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Make a nan-droid backup fom recovery. Wipe everything. Flash new CM7. I recommend CM7.2 by FAT. Go to recovery -> backup and restore -> advanced restore -> restore data

Yes,but remember not to use this method in the future when you are flashing stock over cm as it wont work coz cm is a different build.

It probably wont go into a bootloop if you just restore data. No harm in trying.

Are you sure, because the original developer section is several Custom recovery for our Ace model ported from Gio and not everything although it can be installed, but some items do not work as a USB mass storage and full wipe the problem of recovery.

my ext is ext3. I read that the cwm is ext4 only. IS that a problem?
I've made a cwm back of my cm9 rom using cwm 5.0.2.6: when I change my ext 3 to ext4, can i still use my cm9 backup to restore using cwm?

Almost all roms are in ext4 file system. Btw, cwm works on all roms. It is px recovery that only supports ext4 roms. You can easily restore your backup, don't worry.
