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?
Second: Could some admin move this post to the galaxy s2 thread? Thanks!

First of all, this is not my work. I only compiled it.
This is the usual ClockworkMod recovery, compiled from the CM7 sources with additions/modifications by j_r0dd. What I've done is only to compile it for the Nexus One. For details, check out the link to j_r0dd's original thread for the Nexus S.
The credits go to Koush for the recovery itself and to j_r0dd for the modifications. I've only tested it quickly on my Nexus One, and it seems to work.
j_r0dd said:
This is based on the latest CM7 source which I modified for myself. I take no credit for the recovery whatsoever, but I will take all the blame for my mods . We all know this is Koush's hard work. Just some things were driving me crazy personally. First was the confirmation menu. I really got sick of scrolling through all those "No"s just to flash something, so i changed it for me personally and just thought I would share. I also created a proper wipe menu. I got sick of some wipes in the main menu and the rest in the "advanced" menu. I made this more Amon_RA like. See the attached screenshot for my changes. That change has led to a few others by me. flash with fastboot or flash_image. THESE ARE NOT IN ROM MANAGER. Also if you have an issue with this take it up with me NOT Koush.

Bug fixes
Disclaimer
These recoveries are compiled using the latest commits from koush, j_r0dd and others. That means they haven't been thoroughly tested and might have minor/major issues. I take no responsibility for any damages this thing might cause, but most things should work as intended. If you want something guaranteed to work, I think you should stick with one of the older versions.
Source code available here.
Thanks for compiling and posting this update here. I hope it works better than 3.0.0.5
If you're testing it, let me know if it works.

Not using sd-ext on my N1, so I don't know. But 3.0.0.5 never damaged it back when I was using sd-ext.

I got it damaged 2 times, I thought it was my S2E app, but when i sent them they told me remove the 3.0.0.5 as it is known with this issue, install an older version. Since i installed the release before this one, i have no problems at all.

So far I tested backing up, restoring, wiping and flashing all seemed to work fine.
Can't tell anything about compatibility to SD-ext, but a compiled version of CWM 3.0.24 from the Blandroid ROM showed no problems with SD-ext. I guess this one won't make problems either.
Need to test if ROMManager is still fully functional with this version.

Should work, but you'll need to try it.
For some reason, ROM manager doesn't work for me. It downloads the rom, asks me if i want gapps, wipe /etc, then it reboots but NOT in recovery, and if i select Recovery, doesn't work. (goes back to original screen)... any ideas..?

You'll have to ask koush or the other devs about that. I only compiled from source. I'm not that skilled at modding this kind of code...

This recovery works well for me. Flashed using fastboot.
I also used this recovery to reformat the sd-ext partition and now my nandroid backups complete without freezing (they would freeze on the sd-ext backups last time requiring a battery pull).
Thanks for compiling and sharing this!

restoring doesn't work with sd-ext (1GB ext4 in my case): it's always aborting during restoring data! no cache and sd-ext restoring and no "restore completed" CWM message but jumping back to the CWM main menu.
it's the same with the other CWM3.2.0.1 for Nexus One.
:-(
This Corrupts EXT partition!
This recovery corrupts EXT partition while the 2.4.0.1 doesn't restore!!! I'm staying away from clockwork recoveries from now on! I'm sick and tried of restoring corrupt ext partitions!

Updated OP to version 4.0.0.0.
Hi guys, tried searching the forum but no luck in these pages. I have a strange problem. I'm installing a custom ROM, it goes through everything fine, reboots, but it's just as before (i.e same wallpaper, apps, messages etc). This includes after doing a superwipe. So I have 2 questions;
When I superwipe, does it automatically choose the root on the phone?
Is it possible to have the phone's software on the SD card, and is booting from there?
Thanks in advance!
can u be a bit more clear?
which rom?
what steps did you follow?
what do you mean by superwipe?
some apps can be moved to sd card but some wont work on sd card. you cant boot from there either.
Hi
Thanks for the reply. The ROM I installed was this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334 - which included the "superwipe" script (I don't know what it does but I'm assuming it wipes everything completely from the stock phone)...
After doing that I installed from ZIP from sdcard, it went through the installation of the rom no problem, then when it reboots it just looks the same, with the old ROM on it
Sorry if i'm not explaining properly!
Thanks
try reading the op....it states that is an improved version of stock Rom with no visual changes! What are you doing flashing roms when you can't even be bothered to read the op?!

I read that - but it still has the bloatware. When I say "it looks the same" I mean literally - same apps in the same locations, same widjets, same wallpaper, messages still there, etc.

Yes but the speed, fluidity and batterylife of that rom is awesome, you can also theme the rom and delete or freeze applications/widgets you don`t need. This is not a restaurant you know where you can order whatever you expect , also do some effort yourself.
Look in settings > about phone and see if the rom name is in there. If it is then congratulations you have successfully flashed a rom.
Although reading about superwipe it seems to wipe everything including internal SD! Why the f*ck would anyone do that, don't use that, its not needed!
Just factory reset it in cwm and that should be enough.

very strange as the super wipe script wipes all data, cache and sd card, so if that isn't happening the flash is failing, and you should get error message...my only suggestion is to try 5.x.x.x recovery as I have seen several problems reported with touch recovery

This rom does not have version 6 recovery, it is 5 and non-touch . The superscript wipes the entire internal sd card and the caches. The external sd card is untouched. And i have done it myself, but after the superwipe it did matter in batterylife and rom speed compared to the standard full wipe.

That sounds like the problem then, flash the Rom from 5.x.x.x recovery and I'm guessing all will be good, so basically you need to flash a new recovery(remember kernel and recovery are separate on s3) and then try flashing the Rom, alternatively flash stock Rom, root with cf root(5.x.x.x) and then flash it

No because after the superwipe you flash the rom from the external sd card and you have the recovery that is included in the rom/kernel. There shouldn`t be a problem realy, it works well if people only read more than the first 2 lines of the OP.

So I went to settings > about and see that it says Android Revolution is installed - but there's something going wrong with the wipe still - considering everything is still the same? I'm not sure how to explain it properly. Kinda like I've reinstalled a browser but it's kept my tabs i guess

are you using Google backup/restore, just wondering if this is restoring all your stuff, never used it so don't really know much about it
---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------
also what Rom are you coming from, and how did you root your phone?
so im having trouble making backups in CWM based recovery 5.5.0.4. It always gets to backing up data, but ends with "error while making backup of data/"
Ive cleared up 9gb of space on my external sdcard and that didnt work. Ive tried the internal sd which has 6gb. Ive wiped cache/dalvik and fixed permissions and still I cant get a full backup.
any suggestions? I read somewhere that i might need to format my sdcard, but then shouldnt my internal sd work?
any help would be much appreciated.
Looks like you have too many apps saved within this backup image.
Look here, reply #9
Try to backup from a lighter image to see how it goes.

This new idea is taken from senior member Immix:
I think it's a problem in the backup using this CWM version.
Get Jokersax's recovery from here, and flash it with fastboot.
Now, flash the ROM you want without any data or cache. Clean everything and make a clean install.
Get Titanium backup and restore all your apps from the backup file you tried to use first. Just select "Import from Nandroid Backup" within Titanium backup.

sounds promising, ill give it a shot.
Hello there guys so I'm here because I did a very silly mistake related to the CWM for the Galaxy Player 4.2 (Or at least that's what I think I did ).
Related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39344227
Anyway I'm not familiar with CWM since the Galaxy Player 4.2 is my first Android device ( And is not like the device has been easy on us right ), my device is rooted and the problem is that I already got the Kernel on my device and as expected I'm without WiFi. How can I configure the CWM Recovery without WiFi, if not, how can I get WiFi back?.
Sorry for bothering with dummy questions/mistakes and thanks in advance .

Can I flash the fix without CWM, for example with Odin?. I'm having a really hard time here, since I was dumb enough to install the Kernel without configuring the CWM before or at least making sure I could do it without the WiFi. Now the problem is when I want to flash with Rom Manager it says I need the recovery since I'm not a premium but again in order to get the recovery I need WiFi internet :/.

Wow it's the first time I see somebody having more problems with CWM than odin (no offense). Actually all you need to do is to put the patch into your device and then boot into CWM. Once into CWM, go into install zip from sdcard, then chose zip from sdcard and chose your patch zip. Once you choose it, you will see a bunch of no and one yes, check yes and it will patch it. Once it's done, reboot your device.
Hope it helps.
I'd like to know if flashing the kernel with CWM will make loose data, apps and preferences ? Thanks.

You're right, it works fine ! Now I have a question : I tried a backup in CWM, system and data have been backed up, but neither applications nor cache.
I got the following error messages :

Backing up cache...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.

Man, I feel so stupid right now . I managed to run the CWM boot now when I try to install the zip the update. Says:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
Maybe I should tell you everything I did just in case.
I had the device already rooted.
Flashed the kernel
Installed the CWM v5.0.2.7
Transfered the Fix zip to sdcard
then I did everything you said and also tried to disable verification and still failed.
Sorry to be bothering U_U.

Hey Yep that worked as far as recovery goes. Thanks so much for that. I know you said you sd card was formated as extFAT. What should I try as far as trying to get that Rom on there? Flash like you said and wipe after and fix permissions? Never had a Rom fail to install sorry for all the questions just wanting to make sure I do this right. Thanks so much for all you help(need that apps to sd feature.) Can't download folder mount insufficient storage even when I delete apps. Thanks again Tried getting in contact with Andy as he put this rom together but no luck on that front yet I am sure he is super busy doing Roms. Also you said that TWRP version I had was probably the reason, it looks like the latest version? Sorry if this is a dumb question used to Clockwork Mod and 4EXT. (TWRPV2.6.0.0 what i have installed)

So do it the same way just with the other version of TWRP? Doing this do I just get that version and rewrite script? Will this keep my other back up as well? Thanks for your help.

Just flash any of the zipped recoveries except Twrp 2.6.0.0. You should be able to restore the nandroids you made if you choose to use twrp 2.5.0.2.
*First check the md5 of whatever rom your going to flash. Then follow these steps.*
1. Format system, data, cache and dalvik cache
2. Flash rom.
3. If rom contains firmware update (i.e. a new kernel, or modem etc. ) then fix permissions.
4. Reboot

I downloaded a MD5 checker and they are not the same. What is suggested in this scenario? Please see attached. I have stopped at this point. So I don't mess anything up

Thats the md5 of a data partition from a backup. I meant check the md5 of whatever rom you were going to flash. Don't worry about the md5 of your nandroids for now.

wiped all still says fail...
had to change out my memory card and it did same method and it worked. My other memory card is format fat32 and the 64 is extFAT is there a way to get my phone to read that? when i insert it it says damaged or format. I have formatted it 3 times. Works in computer not in phone. I can mount it after and you can use it but I could not flash a rom from it.

Okay, let me rephrase that. Read the directions posted by the developer of whatever rom your to flash. If there aren't any instructions, you shoudl post asking the dev. But if you know what your doing you're going to be ok, in general only wipe the system parition if you know the rom that you're installing is already pre-rooted. You mentioned you wanted to install the stock root deodex VRUAME7 rom made by andybones. That rom is pre-rooted. Just don't install an OTA.

Where does it say fail at? What does the message say? Put the rom on your sdcard instead. If not then go to advanced>>copy log to sdcard then send it to me.

Got the rom installed had to change the card out to my old card which is fat32 not extFAT. As soon as I did that it flashed with no problems. Thanks for all your help. Question though I have a 64gb sdhc card that is formatted in extFAT but the phone picks it up as damaged but you can look under storage and mount it and it will show 64gb.... this was also the case last night when I was trying to install the rom. I have seen a lot of people saying the s4 is having problems reading extFAT so I was gonna format it to fat32 but when I do I lose half of the 64gb card. Do you know of any solutions for this? I would rather have extFAT for bigger file transfer but at this point I just want 64gb of storage lol. Thanks again for answering all my questions these last few days.
