Is anybody else unable to back up ROM successfully on Omega v13?
I thout I'd backed up my beloved ROM and settings last night before full wipe testing the latest JB Odin ROM. That ROM was not good with regards to wifi intermittently toggling on and off so restore the previous ROM time thought I.
Wrong!
The CWM file wouldn't restore and when I looked at the files the Backup file was 16.8mb bit the Blob files were over a gig. There was no md5sum.
The situation then got worse as my phone entered a black screen bootloop for a while and wouldn't connect to the pc to flash an old backup ROM.
3 hrs of sweating and various wipes, odin flashes, downloads and not much sleep later and I'm back on Omega v13 again (minus all of my SD card files). But, I've just tried to back up my current ROM and still the same problem.
ROM manager is 6.0.1.2 if that helps.

Dont use Rom Manager is the simple answer especially if you used CF root .

Thanks for the reply but how do I backup my ROM without using ROM manager? Also why is the function not working anymore as it's been fine for 23 different ROMs?
Do cf root and ROM Manager conflict with each other?
It's doing my head in

Just back up with cwm and forget about Rom manager

Alright cheers gents.
Have duly uninstalled ROM Manager and will stick with CWM.
I think the problem was that the way a backup is now saved has changed - previously each dated backup file would be circa 1.8 gb in size but now when you back up it doesnt duplicate all of the files, instead it has a file hub in the BLOBS folder and just captures an image of the remaining files and md5sum.
It will save a lot of space this way at least...
As for CF Root however it wont let me do a NAND backup as it loses connection to the device as soon as it starts...?
Maybe because Omega v13 doesnt meet the criteria of insecure kernal??
I dunno.

It`s another way to make a restore if I did a backup with CWM?
What did you backup ???
On what phone and what app to backup .
What CWM recovery are you using .
or are you trying to restore a backup from a different phone ??
Post is rather confusing .

MD5 is a way to control a TAR file.
It will missmath as well if you try to access the file via 7-Zip for instance.
Try to find same file elseware from the web, or excrtact end rebuild a direct tar file.
Good luck
I don't like CWM4 on CF-root
The reason i don't like it is: It makes the recovery disappear after about a day of use, Then i have to reflash, i don't want to do that.
CWM removes it's self for me
The thing i don't like about CF-Root, is and this may be my fault, It freezes some of my rooted apps that freeze bloatware (Easy Freezy) and it also removes the custom recovery by it's self
When i go into the app and click reboot recovery, it boot into Android system recovery.
I then have to reflash in order to get ClockworkMod back.
This other Root meathord: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Does NOT freeze some rooted apps like Easy Freezy and Adfree like CF root does for some reason.
Help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
hello everyone I have a question, when I made my nandroid backup of my stock rom and the one i'm using now before applying a patch and one after the patch but made the first 2 by mistake to the internal memory of the phone now I want to move them to my PC but i can't find them with root browser(or explorer ) I can see them in CWM when I go in to recovery but I'm not sure were there getting store also being that I made the backups so close together the time stamps on them are really similar and I can't tell which one is the stock and the backup of the new rom is there a way to find out which one is the stock one without having to do a restore
thank you in advances for the help

Your nandroid backups should be located under... clockworkmod/backup/"YYYY-MM-DD.HH.MM.SS"
Your backup(s) should be in a folder with the format above as in date and time.

If there are multipe folders under "backups" with different time and dates then those will be all the nandroid backups you have made so far with the most recent one being the one with the newest date and time while the old backups are the ones with the older dates. What do you plan on doing? are you trying to restore to stock 2.1?

Not exactly sure if your phones nandroids will work with your gf's phone. I recommend you create a seperate nandroid on her device just to be safe. Thats if that phone is rooted otherwise disregard what i have said.

Well if her phone is not rooted there is no way to create or restore the nandroid backup since you do not have CWM installed. Unless you know of some other way to create and restore the backups.

Oh i see now. I Forgot about that. Excellent point but technically you are rooted. That update.zip you flashed in stock recovery (reinstall packages) edited some of the system files on your phone in the process and gave you superuser rights or "root" access. So you are rooted just so you know.

Had a very bad experience when i upgrade rooted GB to stock ICS using wifi (w/o pc connection). During the 1 week of using ICS, my s2 got tons of issues, ie, no app works properly, battery drain faster, consum more ram etc.. worst, could not root! Eventually brought to samsung svc ctr to restore a brand new GB.. root the GB again & working well till now..
However i really want to explore the latest JB roms, in case of the flashed rom got any issues, i want to know how to restore to GB (backuped using 'CWM app') using CWM restore or anything else?
Which likes using Ghost to backup/restore a setup windows sys..
Phone details
Android v.: 2.3.6
Baseband v.: i9100DXKL1
Kernel v.: 2.6.35.7-I9100DXKL3-CL814876 [email protected]#2
Build No.: GINGERBREAD.DXKL3
Rooted with Current kernal: CF-Root 5.0
Can any1 also kindly advise me what are the important things/steps i need to take note, when flash to JB rom? I dont want to mess up my lovely s2 again..
Thanks in advance!
1. Try to backup gb and then install ics stock rom on your phone with odin, you can find the guide on the forums somewhere (because there is no support for running gb and jb on the phone because of non kernel support for the both),
2. After you get your phone booting up root it with siyah kerneb by flashing it frue odin like flashing the stock rom,
3. Now install jb (i recomend you the jelly bam version by igio, awesome rom )
4. Now that done if you want to go back to gb you have to install gb stock rom yust like in odin.
5. Root the gb and install cwm kernel and you can get back to your rom.
JellyBam http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903162
So to your question NO you cant as i said the kernel does not support gb and ics/jb on the same device...
Click thanks if i helped you
And if i made a mistake please correct me!!!

What a load of crap that other guy said.Just make a nand backup of your GB setup,then flash the JB rom/kernel.You can backup that if you want/or dont(if you dont youll lose option to restore JB).
I can alternate between GB/JB by just restoring nands anytime I want.

Nandroid Backup or nand backup - a Nandroid backup is essentially a complete snapshot of your phones operating system—application data, and all—that be restored via recovery. It’s always a good idea to keep a backup of a nice stable setup just in case of emergency so that u can restore the same using CWM recovery
so that it saves u all that time u need for dwnld'ng a firmware and flashing the same and setting up ur phone to its previous wrk'ng state, with all ur apps and its data
PS- u can use that CWM app (the App after rooting) to perform those actions
Eg.Im using XWKI4 with siyah v2.6.14 kernel.I go into cwm and make a nand backup.
I can then download say vanilla rootbox by bajee,and once everythings set up ok I then go into cwm again and make a nand of that.
2 minutes later I go into cwm and restore my GB backup and Im back on GB.
For your other question,I think the siyah GB kernel has cwm as an "app",but I dont think the vanilla rootbox kernel did.I changed the kernel to dorimanx but I went straight back to GB.
Anyway,I just use the 3 button combo to get into cwm.

Correct me if im wrong..
So as long as i already created a GB backup in my int sd card, & after which i flash a JB rom. If i want to switch back to GB, i just reboot to Recovery mode with up-home-power buttons & from there i can restore my previous GB (backup in int sd card). Is it correct?
In addition, regarding kernel..
I explored some rom & their steps of flashing, none mention about flashing kernel?
I know kernel is sth connecting hardware with OS (right?), then why flashing kernel is not included in the rom flashing steps? Is flashing another kernel necessary?
When flashing a kernel, must i connect to pc to do so, or simply copy kernel file into int sd card & flash it (using recovery mode?)?
Thanks for ur patience!
1.yeah,thats what I said
2.the roms come with the kernel,and some come with aroma installer which lets you choose various combinations eg. kernel/apps/launchers whilst you are installing the rom.
Anyway you can chop and change compatible kernels whenever you like.....same with modems.
People try different kernels for performance/battery life so its not compulsory.
You can use odin/mobile odin or cwm for flashing.
And its best to backup your efs folder when your rooted also and keep a copy on your pc.

What & where is efs folder? Is it containing the backuped roms?
IMEI.
just download hkctool off play store and use that.
Used 'CWM app' to backup into ext sd card; restore also using 'CWM app' w/o any issues.
However, when i reboot to recovery mode, i cannot restore as indicating 'file not found'.
My question is: whether the backup file must be inside int sd card instead of ext sd card?
Thanks!
It doesnt matter where it is.The restore option in cwm looks at your external card,and the other restore options further down look at your internal card.

It might be in your internal and the cwm is looking for it in external or in other direction that is looking in external and the backup is in internal you can look wit the explorer or something. Look for the clockworksmod folder or something. Mine is in the external sdcard. Try to move whole folder in internal maybe.

Hello,
I recently flashed my phone back to stock after running a custom rom, before i flashed the custom rom i did take a nandroid of the stock rom, today i tried to restore my nandroid which i saved on my computer, CMW tells me "Couldn`t open directory. No files found." I`ve tried to put the folder in /mnt/extsdcard/clockworkmod/backup, with no luck
Can someone please help me and tell me whats wrong or what can fix it
Thanks for any help
Are you copying the exact same files? Which cwm are you using? What backup method do you use? (Tar/blob)
If you've backed up with blobs abs since then flashed later cwm's (which now use tar as default) it may not find that back up.

Hi, JJE
I am experiencing a similar situation. I understand I need to roo again the phone using the exact same CWM version I did my bkp with.
The thing is I don't seem to find that CWM version. Is there a place where I can try CWM from version 4.x to 6.x?

I was using Android Revolution HD 4.1.2 and decided to update to 4.2.1 (bad decision!). The installation all went okay but then i noticed my files were missing however there was no free space after extensive searching i found that all my file on the internal SD folder had been moved to /data/media/ from some strange reason. So i decided to move them all back however, my memory began declining till there was no more space, I found a folder in /storage called emulatedSD which had two folder called 0 and legacy which within them also had copies of my SD memory. This was all getting too confusing so I decided to flash back to 4.1.2 however recovery was somehow reading the SD memory from the root folder not the /sdcard folder. So on restarting it its stuck in a boot loop (repeating the samsung animation anyway).
I was hoping someone could guide me on how to recover my phone back to normal, I don't know if reflashing a stock rom would work as its the root folder that are messed up, please help!
In recovery format sd card system data cache and preload should give you an empty phone .
Boot to download mode and flash stock rom .

The folders legacy and 0 I think are associated with Siyah kernel and dual boot?
Where you using Siyah kernel? If so, you may have (almost definitely) messed that up so I'd suggest starting from scratch again anyway - as per the posts above me.

I think your phone must be rooted
So the best is that backup your apps witg titanium backup first
Download a stock rom from sammobile.com or you could just use Android Revolution HD
And then wipe your data with CWM recovery
And flash the firmware via PC odin
