I installed Wuiu the other night and now when I try to restore a back up that I had previously had saved on my phone it just says "no files found" What did I do?! Did the ROM update my CWM and now the files are not compatible or what? If this is the case how can I find out which version of CWM i had and how can I get that back?
If I guess correctly, what happened is the sd cards are now mounted differently. You just need to find the backup directory with astro or some other root able file manager and move it to the correct sd card. I can't remember if the external is emmc or the internal one is. But whichever is which you just need to move the backup folder to the correct sd card. Sorry I can't give more detailed instructions, as I don't use wiui but if I remember right its based on cm7 file structuring.

In cwm, there should be two option to restore from. Go to backup and restore and then the third or fourth option down should be restore from internal.

While in CWM try both locations, cause Entropy and Siyah have it named differently.

Okay and how do you go about creating a new backup? just do it right over it?
because i heard that it takes up a lot ofspace
Shouldn't the real question be: why is this in the development section?...

think it creates another folder for the new backup... .What I do is, do the backup and move it to my external sdcard or copy it to dropbox or pc until need. The backup should be around 1.5GB...
nevermind..i got it
Does anyone know where the backups are saved to? I did a quick search but couldn't find it
Clockworkmod in the internal sdcard
Mine are saved in Clockworkmod folder on my external micro sd card
Moved to proper forum.
can anybody tell me how to enable sideloading so i can install CWM
i'm rooted with the OTA update
Help. I rooted the phone with z4root and then installed clockworkmod recovery and made a back up. Afterwards I installed android firewall so I can block apps internet permissions and after installing it my phone can't read from the memory card. I go into recovery to recover and it said my md5 doesn't match. So I checked to see If its the card but I made another back up on the card, so its working and I even recovered with the new back up. But the card still can't be read when the phone is fully on.
So how can I either recover my first recovery file, and try to recover the phone from it.
Or, how do I prepare the phone so I can send it in for a replacement

Also when the memory card is still in it says checking for errors.

i dont think a replacement is required because you said your card can still be read in recovery. this is all i have on the top of my head (sorry). if you have a card reader, plug your card into it and backup all your data on your computer. then boot into recovery and format your card. after that enable usbms toggle and copy your backup (on the computer) onto your card. see if that works. and about your md5, ive read that you shouldnt continue with any process if the md5 sum doesnt match
So tel me if this would work. What if I copy the md5 from the new recovery to the old recovery that had a md5 not match.? Would that work

You could try but since the md5 didn't match to the original it might be corrupted.

i tried to swap out the md5 but no luck.. going to try the memorry card thing. can anyone give me a like so i can reset the phone to factory and get rid of clockworkmod and get it ready so i can sent it to t-mobile for a replacement.
Yes the formating of the sdcard in recovery work nicely. thanks guys for the help
Hi
I am rooted and CWM always aborts when doing a NAND backup because it can't find android secure !
I know it should skip it but it does not.
Anyone know what I should do to fix this in cwm ?
Should I flash a different version of CWM ? If so can anyone recommend one that will work ?

Kind of running into a similar issue. When I try to do a back up in CWM, I'm getting that it can't mount backup path (but doesn't say what that path is, and I can't seem to mount sdcard in 'Mounts and Storage'). I'm going to assume this is like the SII where I need an actual ext SD card to run backups to? Can someone confirm? At work with no ext SD card.
Try reflashing ...

The latest version of CWM-Recovery should work well, on both internal and external storage. I've tested it on numerous occasions. I have the Rogers I747M, which is effectively identical to the AT&T unit.
Use this link for the correct/latest version of CWM:

If you don't have an external sdcard, then you need to choose "backup to internal sdcard".
I had started playing around with the Syhah Kernel and set up two different Roms (Omega and Darky) works very well however i ran out of internal memory.
with some investigation Clockworkmod was sucking up almost 5Gb so i deleted all my backups to find it still sitting around the 5GB mark deleted Rom Manager and Clockwork fully and got my memory back
Then re-installed Rom Manager and Clockwork, it still sits around the 2GB with one backup so was thinking
I love CWM because if I stuffup I can just reflash the phone back to a backup I guess similar to System Restore on a Laptop?
Why so hungry on Memory and whats a better solution?

Yes just did
Not compatable with the Galaxy S3
I like Clockwork but it would be far better installed and running off the external SD card?
i'm in the same case as you, siyah kernel and 2 different roms installed. Keep getting low storage messages etc with clockworkmod occupying 5.04GB in my system!.. anyone else has any idea?
Bit of common sense is in need here.. You have two roms of course a nandroid backup will take a lot of memory depending on what you have installed. It could be up to 3gb. if you want to make a back up make it no one is stopping you.
After you've backed up connect your phone to your pc and go into your internal or external memory card, depending on where you've backed up to.. Then find the folder Clockwork folder and click to go inside then backup and inside that backup folder there should be a folder with the date. Back that up to your pc..
Once done you know it is on your pc and if you want to restore just put that folder back into clockwork/backup and just restore simples..
The other option is to backup to your external card..
However if you have the new V6 cwm installed you want to backup the whole clockwork folder..
Yes correct you can move that backup file and I have tried that where the memory is used is with clockwork mod

I don't understand how clockwork recovery uses any space after i backup my folder on my pc i delete the whole clockwork folder. And it never comes back to waste any space. Unless i back up again..
I have really screwed my phone. It is a Samsung Fascinate 4G from Telus. I have tried to flash my phone that didn't work. So I tried to go back to stock with files I downloaded from here. I would get the phone to work but there was no sdcard, I could not mount or format an extrenal sd card and the sim card was not recognized. I did make a backup of my extrenal sdcard and found this folder on it. "sgs-kernal-flasher" there is two sub floder titled "backup and tmp". Does this mean I made a backup of my rom before I started to screw the phone up or did I download it from someplace? If this is a backup how do i restore if the phone will not mount the sdcard?
OK well let's see first of all you have a completely different fascinate than us you need to use this thread to find ROMs and stock files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540809
Now then just find the stock files in that thread and flash back to stock and no if it was a backup it would be under "clockworkmod"
