Try TWRP

What is TWRP?

You didn't happen to convert your file system to a ext 4 did you?

Honestly I am not sure. I dont think I did.

What recovery are you using? Jokers newest doesn't mount the system I believe

Nandroid

Where are the nandroid backups saved to? I can see the ones I've made through the recovery menu but I can't seem to locate the file in the sdcard itself
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
are you using cwm? if so then they are in the clockworkmod folder under backups
If you are using twrp it's in TWRP/BACKUP.
how do I restore my backup?
Blindly please I have semi bricked my evo3d. I can't see but it still goes into the boot loader.
So I need exact key entry's

even though you can't see what is going on, do you remember which custom recovery you're using? cwm or twrp? as the menus are not identical...

Ok so I guess the latest version of TWRP isn't playing nice. Do you flash this on in recovery or Bootloader?

I have never flashed from recovery and I'm not even sure if it's possible you can use a cmd window to push it
To flash recovery from cmd prompt
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img
fastboot flash boot openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.img
btw twrp 2.3.1.0 works flawlessly

[Q] New to rooting i717

I have an AT&T i717 running ics stock rom. I installed cwm 5.0. something and was intending on installing the CM10 JellyBean rom from paranoid. It would not install from sd card. tried another rom from diff developer, same thing. I read that I needed an updated cwm so I tried to flash another, wouldnt work with the version of ODIN i had so i upgraded to v3.07, was able to flash another and then when I went to recovery it stayed in a black screen, reflashed the older version of cwm and now when I go to recovery it will show the main screen, but if I try to install or even reboot it takes the menu away and shows the symbol in the center. Am I just completely stupid? Have I missed something?

Yes...That is the first step I believe.
UPDATE: I have CWM recovery 5.5.0.4 working properly but I am getting an Error Status 7 (yes I have searched but everything I found was old and didn't help) I am trying to run cm-10.1-20120113-NIGHTLY-i717 build as well as pa_quincyatt-2.56-20121219-013738 build. both show same error. Any ideas?

Do I select factory reset or system from the twrp menu?

Did it work?
Figured it out. Cleared both cache and delvik Cache and did a factory reset. worked like a charm. thanks for the help and I hope this helps others as well.
Just for future reference, also wiping system along with wiping cache/dalvik and factory reset is good practice. Sometimes not wiping system can cause some issues.

Did you have to pay for the app. The Release version is giving me Parse Error when I try to install it.

I just used the release version the other day to update my CWM. Try downloading the APK again, usually parse error means a bad file. Try a different browser to download it.
Flashify also works well...

The free one from XDA worked fine for me. Just retried it and it worked.
Easiest and most stable/reliable way for.me is to use the terminal emulator to flash the recovery image. If you want directions tell me. Its super easy

1) move the recover image to the root of your internal sd card (use es file manager preferably)
2) rename the recovery image recovery.img
3) open terminal emulator
4) type su then hit enter
5) type flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img and hit enter
6) youre all done.
Thanks bro learned something new

Unable to flash custom recovery after root

I was messing around and had a soft brick so I odin'd back to stock rom and got everything running and got root up and running. No matter how I do it I can NOT get a custom recovery to install. I tried Goo Manager which never actually downloads the file. I found the .tar file to install manually via Odin and it says it fails. I even tried clockwork mod to install clockwork recovery and it just boots me to the stock recovery. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?

Yeah it basically says once you have root access you can use Goo Manger or Clockwork Mod to install the pre Loki'd recovery. Neither one of those 2 work though it just says it does and then takes me back to the stock recovery.

Yeah I did all the steps up until the actual recovery isn't installed. Goo Manger won't download anything at all but Clockwork Mod does and it says my recovery is set at either clockwork or twrp (which ever I pick) but when I boot into recovery its still just the stock one...

Install the all in one root and recovery tool for mdk...since you are already rooted you can skip that step...select the prep for recovery option...it will clean up and get rid of things that interfere with custom recovery and then select install either oudhs or twrp...these will allow you to flash updated cwm/twrp versions which I recommend to ensure proper flashing of newer roms...once one of these is installed you can always use rom manager or goo manager or the others to update...but I believe the prep for recovery step is crucial in having a functional custom recovery

I agree. Where can I find the all in one root and recovery tool for MDK?
Why dont you try to look for custom recovery thats suits your device manually and flash it using recovery tool app. You can get it in playstore

Our devices are quirky... Some will do just fine just randomly flashing recovery...others just won't behave without going through the prep for recovery step...I know I flashed stock with Odin once before rooted again and had the same problems getting custom recovery setup...used the same steps to fix it then too...I would recommend these for anyone having issues with recovery install
Ok. So sorry for being rude
