So just flash over current rom and it will save all settings and user options? Going to make a backup first just in case.
Attempted to flash via CWM and it says installation aborted with a dead android and the red triangle. Phone boots normally so I didn't break anything but what am I doing wrong? Maybe the file I downloaded is corrupted?

You have to unzip the file then place the file named something like 2013.08.23.15.18. That is the file you should place in your sd card then restore from recovery. Remember you must go to backup and restore then restore from external sd then choose the file.

So I extracted the zip and tried installing the extracted folder via CWM and it keeps telling me file not found, any suggestions?
Edit - I figured out what I was doing wrong, installing I should have been restoring, stupid mistake, thanks for the upload.

Reboot into Download Mode, utilize Odin to flash back to JFD (directions in the Vibrant Bible sticky thread in the Dev forum), root, install ROM Manager, and then reinstall Bionix.

Find a copy of the update.zip from clockwork. Put this on your sd card (the internal one) and try the reinstall packages option.
If this doesn't work. Research odin and do a restore using it.

There is a file called update.zip that's created by ClockworkMod. There should be a few links on the net to help you out on where to download the most current version.

Did you put it on your internal sd card? If you can't boot you would have had to use ADB to push it there....
EDIT: Also, did you have a lag fix enabled, namely voodoo, before you tried to "restore"?
I have attached a copy of the update.zip for cwm vibrant and a copy of the files needed for adb. Let me know if you need help setting it up.
hey guys can you guys help me install this rom on my phone its aready rooted Eugene's Ginger Clone 2.2 gingerbread clone... please!!!
download
move to sdcard/
go to recovery
make backup
flash rom (install zip from sd)
reboot
First install his rom then connect your phone to your computer and mount. Then put the rom in the internel SD card the one without avatar. Don't rename the file. Then boot into recovery and reinstall packages twice. Then you will be in clockwork wipe factory reset and cache. Then go to install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card and find the rom. Don't forget to backup your apparently.

What is the point of making a backup? I mean, you can always go to stock using odin and the JFD tar and pit.
Is backup just to save all your personal files, pics, music, etc?

I have heard this over and over. I only have one question that I could not find anywhere. Do you need to rename the "Ginger_Clone_Final_R2.zip" to update.zip? Everytime I reboot into recovery and try and get ti to install, I get the same message over and over; something to the effect of package not found. Thanks

you don't rename it. maybe your choosing the update zip from sd. it should be choose zip file from sd card then you choose the custom rom you're flashing.

Yea, thanks. I thought that was what I am supposed to do. I don't have that option though. When I reboot into recovery (through ROM Manager or on my own) I only have the STOCK recovery options. For some reason, the Clockworkmod options are not showing up. I noticed this about a month ago. I will have to try and figure that out first. Thanks again.

Have you flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager? If so, when you get into stock recovery just hit reinstall packages to get to cwm. You may have to do that twice to get it to work. If it still doesnt work try reflashing cwm from rom manager.

I had been doing everything right. I had to roll back to CWM version 2.5 (I think it is about 3 or 4 versions earlier than the current one). No wonder they have been making so many updates over the past few days. Well at any rate, I wanted to ensure I wasn't doing anything wrong. i have done it before, but for whatever reason (now known to be CWM) it just wasn't working. I got it fixed and now have 2.3. I will install my apps including Titanium Backup and report any problems. I hope there are none; from what it sounds like, I will probably not have any, but only time will tell. Thanks for posting and confirming that I was not losing my mind.

Hey guys i just recently rooted my phone
Before doing so i made a back up on ClockWorkMod 5.5.0.4 however when i try to restore it, it says no files found?
I haven't changed any of the file names/moved the files and i can see the files still on my internal SD card e.g. Sdcard/0/Clockworkmod/backup
I have even updated my CWM to version 6.0.3.1 yet still does not find the files
Anyone can help?
Thank you
I'm not familiar with original cwm. When you flash 4.2 roms, /sdcard becomes /sdcard/0
I know in philz recovery based on cwm, you can change this location but cwm no idea

Just wondering what does the restore feature do exactly...does it reset my rom to stock and recovery to the stock android recovery?

No problem
Your phone will go back to how it was when you made the backup.
The recovery / modem wont be touched so you'll still have CWM.
Sorry i forgot to mention that then is when i made the backup file..while i had the stock rom
Also im guessing if you use the recovery..it does NOT un-root your phone?
If the stock ROM was rooted when you backed it up, you phone will remain rooted if you restore that backup.
Thanks guys for all your help really do appreciate it

Yes. All basebands will work. Some better than others, but that is not possible to know which work best for someone without trying them all.

I just did a downgrade to stock 4.1.1 using Odin (which flashed it back to stock recovery), but before I downgraded (I was on 4.2), I did a nandroid backup in CWM.
After the downgrade to 4.1.1, I reflashed recovery with the newest version of CWM using the unified toolkit and tried to recover the nandroid backup, but it said no file found. The backup was already on my external sdcard, so then I tried moving it to another folder as mentioned in this thread, but that didn't work either. I didn't have that exact directory as it was posted, but I didn't think that would matter, so long as it was copied over from external to internal or vice versa.

Sorry I should have told you that you needed to restore a system.img of the kdz you are on. System.img and boot. img must match (from same kdz)
CM 10.1 P769
Using XtreSoLite ROM on a Galaxy S5. When I do a TWRP backup (default settings) and I target my external SD card (64GB SanDisk microSD), the backup succeeds and I can go back to the main TWRP menu and verify that the backup was created in a new folder called 'TWRP' on the SD card. However, once I boot into the system and get past the unlock screen, that TWRP folder is deleted from the SD card along with the backup.
All of the other files on the SD card are untouched, just anything to do with TWRP is removed.
Any idea what could cause this? I searched the thread for my specific ROM with no luck regarding this issue.
I have this issue as well running the stock rom. I also have the 64 gb card. Near as I can tell something about the way TWRP is writing the files to the file system (exfat) android doesnt like and corrects which removes the files. If I pull the card out of the phone before booting android I can see the files on the PC. The work around I'm currently using is to mount an external USB storage to do my backup, then copying the backup to the SD card in android.
..
Hey there guys...its happening to me as well and its annoying because you cant rely in your backups!
Any solution or just that SD take out workaround? Its kinda dangerous because you can corrupt the SD by doing this often!

TWRP Backups being deleted at boot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My solution for this error:
--Device S5 mini G800F
--TWRP 2.8.1
--MicroSD 64Gb
--TotalCommander for android instaled.
Step by Step:
1. Boot in recovery mode.
2. Create and save your backup into extSDCard (TWRP/backups folder).
* Example: extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc\2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY
-- 2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY = my last backup folder name created automatically by TWRP.
-- 2016-01-01--01-01-01 = backup date and time
-- XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY = phone and rom model/version
3. Open File Manager in TWRP and copy your backup folder (2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY) from extSDCard to internal memory.
4. Restart your phone (system restart in twrp).
5. Open TotalCommander and navigate to extSDCard/backup folder (extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc)
6. Create new folder and rename it with your backup name folder. *Example: extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc\2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY
7. Go to internal memory (copied backup folder) and copy all files to created folder in step 6.
8. Restart in recovery mode, run file manager in TWRP and delete backup folder from internal memory.
9. Restart your phone (system restart in twrp).
10. Finish.
