Thanks for the reply. Maybe that is the cause of the problem. I deleted my previous 2 backups and maybe it has a big size on SD card thats why it does not have enough space to create new one. Now I created new backup and thanks for the help mate. Problem solved. :good:

Help with xUltimate.

I recently downloaded a program for deodexing my rom called xUltimate. After exploring, I found an option in the advanced panel called "Create rom.tgz for use with nandroid"
What does that option do? Does it help to create a nandroid backup which is stored in the computer? It would be very useful for me to create backups to the computer storage as my sd card is always full.
Thanks in advance!

Not for ace! For ace rom backup use only CWM ... ace's backups are tar and not tgz!
If your sd card is full of backups just release old one's or move them to your pc

Nandroid

While trying to do a Nandroid backup, I get a error stating, failure to back up boot image. What causes that and how do you fix it?

Does our version of CWM have the 4 gig limit?
The reason I ask is because on another phone the nandroid backup fails if your internal SD card had too much saved to it.

cwm fails NAND

Hi
I am rooted and CWM always aborts when doing a NAND backup because it can't find android secure !
I know it should skip it but it does not.
Anyone know what I should do to fix this in cwm ?
Should I flash a different version of CWM ? If so can anyone recommend one that will work ?

Kind of running into a similar issue. When I try to do a back up in CWM, I'm getting that it can't mount backup path (but doesn't say what that path is, and I can't seem to mount sdcard in 'Mounts and Storage'). I'm going to assume this is like the SII where I need an actual ext SD card to run backups to? Can someone confirm? At work with no ext SD card.
Try reflashing ...

The latest version of CWM-Recovery should work well, on both internal and external storage. I've tested it on numerous occasions. I have the Rogers I747M, which is effectively identical to the AT&T unit.
Use this link for the correct/latest version of CWM:

If you don't have an external sdcard, then you need to choose "backup to internal sdcard".

Can't copy things to external sd!

Whenever I try to delete anything or copy things from sd to extsd it always says it cannot be moved!
Has anyone got any ideas as to why?

Error restoring backup

Every time when I restore a backup my firmware, I have an error during the recovery Data partition. When creating a backup, no error occurs. Where could the problem be?

How much space do you have on your ext sd?
Despite all the data, pics blah blah. Is it 16gb etc?

I'm backup to ext_sd 32Gb, free space 10Gb.

I tried backing up with only 1.2gb left lol... I knew i needed more than 2gb in order to backup... Do you know how much a 16 or 32 gb would cost?
EDIT: Nvm, a 16gb would cost me $14 in walmart... Good price if you ask me.
