What does "update gift" mean?
I figured out that it happens when there is a update.zip and a PJ53IMG.zip on the sd card together but but still not sure what it means

That is really strange. Do you have any .zip files (or any other files that might confuse the bootloader) in the root folder of your SD card?
Yeah I had an update.zip from titanium backup after more refining my google search I found that I needed to get rid of the update.zip

Just to confirm: Removing the update.zip from the root folder of your SD card fixed the issue?

Just want to be able to use the Rom manager app to manage my backups. I like to organize by the name of the Rom within Rom manager. I may be wrong but going into recovery mode only allows me to see dates and time of backup.

I'm guessing u mean twrp (TeamWin recovery project). I would stick with that, but it's more of a personal preference. Just try both and see what u like best. They are easily flashable with a pc38img.zip through the bootloader.

Yes, I did mean TeamWon recovery. I see there is a way to flash in Rom manager but am unsure if it will conflict with TeamWin recovery.
Thanks!

If its the same as the evo, then it shouldn't. It just replaces the other recovery. If you don't mind doing this, you can get a file manager (like astro) and go into the folder where your backups are and rename the backups. However, I would only use letters, numbers and they default symbol that they use in the backups (usually a - or a .)

All you have to do is download rom manager and flash clockwork from that! I am running it for the same reason you are. The back ups are over a gig though...

What I do is I keep the nandroid backups in a folder on my computer. If I want to flash a recovery (which I never do unless I'm at home anyway), I just mount the SD card and copy over. I only keep one on my card saving those precious GB for other goodies.
Thanks for all ur input. Soon as I get to my PC I will hit the thanks button.

I couldn't find any statement that answers my question. My friend is interested in rooting his phone to backup his apps with TB. His phone is currently stock (4.5.141). Is there a root method where the phone is not reset to factory? It would defeat the point of rooting if he looses all his data.
Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

If he backs it up through titanium he can use a root browser and copy the file to ext-sdcard, factory reset doesn't erase that. You could also put the backup on a computer via USB if he doesn't have an ext-sdcard. Be sure to put the file back in the proper directory after wiping.

It was my understanding TB would not be able to backup anything unless it had root access in the first place..

Oh sorry I misread your OP. Yes titanium needs root to perform backups. If you try the USB method you can pull files from the phone and sdcard and store them on your computer.
Edit- also just rooting shouldn't reset data, unless your unlocking the bootloader as well

I'm sorry can you point me to the thread that has this USB method? Also do you know of any method that roots without deleting his data?

I know this may sound like a really stoooopid question.....
I have a clockwork mod folder on my Sd card and my extSD card, do I need both or can I delete the one from my phone ?????
I have tried searching but I cant find the answer
Many thanks
Depends where you want to store your backups....external is safer for obvious reasons but always worth having at least 1 nandroid on internal and external for safety
Thanks for the quick reply.
There's only 1 backup in the clockwork folder on the phone, all the recent ones are on ext sd, just wanted to make sure I could delete the whole clockwork mod folder from the phone and not do any harm

The file manager for TWRP isn't reading my files. I moved all my roms to a different folder and deleted the old one they were in. However TWRP isn't recognizing any changes that have been made to any files or folders and it still shows the old folder but it is empty. How do I make it refresh or recognize any of the new files and folders in my phone? I have used the file manager i got when rooting my phone and es file explorer and the both are reading everything correctly. So how do I make TWRP start working correctly as well?
Where did you move the files from and to?

Roms are In the downloads, move them to the 0 folder and they will show up.. Use root explorer to move them when booted and flash them from the twrp
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Well yea I had moved them from downloads to a folder where I had been putting all my roms and stuff. But even if I put them back in downloads twrp won't pick them up.
Alright so it isn't like updating anything. By that I mean it is showing stuff I deleted from my phone and isn't showing anything new I install
Edit: just read the 0 folder thing you said. Problem solved! Thanks a lot

Where are the CWM Recovery backups stored? I think I've looked everywhere but can't find them. They restore ok from the recovery view but can't find them in any file explorer. Most of them I have on internal sdcard but the clockworkmod folder is empty

The path you're looking for is /data/media/ClockworkMod/backup I believe, haven't seen the other but of course it could also be right.

I'm almost positive that's where I found mine a couple weeks ago, and I'm running 4.4...[EDIT: both paths take you to the same thing, just checked] It shouldn't matter what version, as per below.
An explanation as to why it's not where you think it is.
After 4.1 (correct version?) introduced multi user, internal storage is separated into numbered folders for each user, starting with 0 - the first user (ie usually only user on phones). Since CWM uses the root of the SD card instead of following this new format, most apps cannot find the backup since they access the 0 folder of int storage.

4.1 didnt introduce multi user. It is 4.3. Also. I tried the directory u said. Nth. Its wat the first directory was given is correct.
