I have made a back up with a CWM 5 (don't know exactly which one) and then again with CWM 6.0.1.2. I flashed CM10 and then when I tried to restore back to the stock ROM that I had backed up I got an error in CWM 6.0.1.2 saying that an "Error occurred while restoring /data". I checked the file size and it was well under 2GB. I don't know what to do as I don't want to lose all of this data. Is there a way to restore the backup made in CWM 6.0.1.2 or a way to find out which version of CWM 5 I used for the other backup so that I could use that one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think it don't care which version of CWM 5 you use cause I think you used the recovery by chainfire. It's not longer supported by him so simply try to restore your backup with his last one.

Hello,
I got some strange errors:
When doing a backup with cwm recovery 4.0.1.4/5 some or all apps stored in .android_secure get deleted and i have to restore them with Titanium Backup!
And I've noticed, that the old cwm 4.0.0.2 gets opened when booting to recovery via rom manager (and pressing volume/home buttons)!
(Even manual installing the new recovery won't change this, except that with 4.0.0.2 backups work)
Why is the old recovery always restored? Oo
I'm running newest villian rom with that nymphentamine kernel in version 2.0.0.5
I came from villian rom 2.1 with the cf-root 4.1 kg3 kernel installed, but did a full wipe!
Hope you could understand my problem, my English isn't the best :-(
//EDIT:
Even flashing kernel with odin won't fix my problem!
Another try to explain my problem:
I flash a new cmw version with rom manager (or odin or video the old 4.0.0.2 cwm) and as soon as i restart the device the old recovery gets restored and i don't know why! there is no update.zip or something wich could install the old recovery again!
Please help me, i'm getting mad with this!

Guys, currently I'm using DorimanX kernel. It has the latest CWM which is version 6. But I dislike CWM v6 because when I backup my ROM it will give out 2 folders that are backup and blobs. It is quite irritating to me because before this I copied the backed up ROM into my laptop and back to my phone but an error persisted, it said "MD5 mismatch". Thus, I would love to go back to CWM v5 without losing the DorimanX kernel, is that anyhow possible?
Thanks in advance.

There is no need to go back to an older CWM recovery version.
(You would have to flash a new kernel with the other CWM. Or flash a temporarily CWM just before using CWM recovery.)
Boot into CWM recovery, then select BackUp & Restore. There you can change the backup format from dup (incremental backup format with blobs) to tar (classic full backup).
Good luck !
Hi there,
I bought a new i9100 to replace my broken i9100 (screen smashed into pieces).
I took a CWM backup of the old one, and have copied it into the CWM backup directory on the new i9100. ( something like : /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/<date> )
Can I just reboot into CWM and then attempt to restore the backup? Both devices are i9100 gsm 16Gb versions.
Regards.
if you used the search function, you would have found another thread asking the same question.
short answer is yes.
I did search , but still missed it. Thank-you for replying. I thought it would work but had to verify here.
Actually the short answer is Yes if you are careful. THe backup has to be from the same CWM version as I just discovered.
I just tried it.
CMW v 5.5.0.4
Current installed with stock Samsung ICS.
Restore from known working CMW backup for CM10.1.
Results:
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Restoring system...
Error while restoring /system...
Now that a later version of CMW is installed one has to reboot into CWM again, and then run the restore again.
Some background info: I got my phone used, so the rooting and stuff was done for me.
When I got the phone, the top of the recovery said Semaphore CWM 6.something, I don't know what I did to it but now the recovery says CWM based recovery. I also notice that fix permissions is not there anymore, there is probably more things missing that I never noticed. My question is, How do I get back to the original Clockworkmod?
Also, does anyone want to give me the basics on flashing stuff? I see people talking about Titanium Backup and ROM Manager. Every time I want to make a backup I just go into the recovery and make a backup there. What's ROM Manager? What's the best way to do this kind of stuff?
EDIT: I just booted back into recovery since a while (when I flashed my current rom) and noticed that it's back to normal. It says Semaphore CWM Recovery 6.0.3.8, when it used to say CWM-based recovery 6.0.3.6. Back then, it also gave me a warning called Warning: no file_contexts. That's gone now, should I have anything to worry about?

Usually your ROM comes pre-packaged with a version of recovery.
ROMs that use the Semaphore kernel also generally come pre-packaged with a modified version of Clockworkmod recovery designed to compliment the kernel.
for reference:
if your recovery says: CWM recovery X.X.X.X then its usually the official version
Semaphore CWM Recovery 6.0.3.8 is a modified version for use with Semaphore kernel
CWM-based recovery 6.0.3.6 - is a modified version likely for use with another kernel (They dont always specify)
I would recommend just sticking with whatever version comes with your ROM.
there is rarely a need to change it.
ROM manager is an App that makes flashing clockworkmod recovery easy as well as downloading and flashing ROMs.
but for the most part if you know how to use recovery already your probably better off doing stuff manually in my opinion.
Titanium backup - is an app that lets you back up and restore all of your installed apps and data.
so for instance if you wanted to install a new ROM. you could back your apps and data up with Titanium backup and then install your new ROM and even wipe user data and still be able to get all of your apps back just as they were before you switched ROMs.
in comparison a nandroid backup (the backup done through recovery) backs up everything including your current ROM so restoring from that would also restore whatever ROM you were using when you made the backup.
as an example if you do both a Nandroid and Titanium backup while running android 2.3
then you decide to update to android 4.1
after the update if you restore from the nandroid backup you will be back at android 2.3 with all of your apps and everything back the way it was.
if you restore from a titanium backup you'll still be on android 4.1 but you'll have all your apps back as they were before.
While flailing around trying to get ROM Manager and CWM Restore installed on my rooted Galaxy S4 I blew it and installed CWM Restore 6.0.4.4. It doesn't work, telling me (something like) "No command" and presenting what looks like the stock recovery menu.
This error happens when I try to start a nandroid backup from the touch menu.
I finally found the official CWM page and downloaded 6.0.3.2.
My new problem is that I can't install 6.0.3.2 because it refuses to replace the newer version (6.0.4.4) that I can't use.
Please help me get CWM working. I'll feel a lot better when I can use it.
Thanks!

What bootloader version is your phone running? Have you read this post?
(Sorry if you're on MDK, but the fact that you don't say that you're on MDK indicates that you're probably not.)
