Using Fastboot with CWM backup containing blobs... - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I've got a HUAWEI u8815 phone stuck in boot loop - I can use Fastboot to flash BOOT.IMG and RECOVERY.IMG to it fine.
Thing is I need to flash a SYSTEM.IMG but the only backup of the System is a CWM backup that is not in *.IMG format.
It has
- system.ext4.dup
- blobs (folder - containing loads of folders and files)
Question is can I make a SYSTEM.IMG from these files... or flash the blobs - but if so how?
I'm very stuck so any help appreciated.
Thanks
giblet

Fixed - by using Fastboot to update to latest ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.7 that allowed me to access the file system by mounting the SD cards... I was sweating for a bit.

[Q] copy files to recovery partition

Thanks first.
Is possible that copy files to recovery partition via adb?
The way it is, I'm porting CW Recovery to a new device, flash img to recovery, it's not work at all, stop at bootlogo.
I try to extract ramdisk.gz from native recovery.img, but failed, gunzip/cpio is useless. someone said copy files to recovery partition, CW Recovery worked. How to? via adb?
If it's possible, copy compiled files first, dump_image recovery secondly, packbootimg finally.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

[Q] Converting the md4 backup file to .img

My EVO 3D backup consists of the following:
.android_secure.vfat
cache.ext4
data.ext4
recovery.img
boot.img
system.ext4
I had created the backup using Rom Manager. Now when I am trying to restore the same using rom manager, the mobile restarts, shows some process and nothing really happens. When I am try to do a recovery using CWM, I get the following error:
system.img not found
data.img not found
cache.img not found.
What should I do?
Any help would be appreciated as I have no clue regarding this.

Flash 4EXT recovery and then try to restore. I dont think this format of backup is compatible with cwm recovery

now you have to make an update zip and flash it through CWM/TWRP recovery!
(assuming that your phone has custom recovery installed)
