Hi,
I have a Galaxy S2 HD LTE device and i am facing a problem while restoring a backup i created with clockworkmod recovery.
Here is what happens:
1. I boot into recovery and created a backup of my existing ROM (which does not complete actually).
This is what i see...
Backing up system...
Backing up data...
Backing up .android_secure
Backing up cache
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Generating md5 sum...
Backup complete!
Now the problem is that if i restore using this backup i get into bootloops... and the backup never actually works...
Can anybody tell me whats the problem?? My life is becoming a hell coz every time i flash a ROM and not like it. Then i have to start afresh every single time
Thanks.

Hello, when i try backup my current default ROM, everything goes fine until it reaches .Android_secure and says "Error while making a bacup of /sdcard/.android_secure!"
No idea whats wrong.
I've tried backing up via the ROM manager and the Nandroid method.
Using ROM Manager to backup is a nandroid backup... the back up you're referring to is just the app data you had installed on your SD card. Perhaps you can choose to restore the other partitions but leave out the android secure image...
Edit: Oh, I misunderstood your post. You're trying to back up... well, you could move the apps you have on your SD card back to your phone and then create the backup. That will eliminate the need for the android secure image.

Okay well I just removed the files in .android_secure (backed up onto PC)
and now i get an error while making a backup image of /cache -.-.

A few days ago I accidently formatted my sd card by resizing sd-ext (I don't even know resizing sd-ext from CWM will format the sdcard)
Thing I have done:
Recovered the Nandroid backup with undelete software
Tried a full restore in CWM (Check mismatch in system.yaff2.img)
Tried to restore /data only (Also it doesn't let my to do this)
What should I do?Can I force the phone to restore the backup?
That Nandroid backup is my last resort to get my app data back.I don't want to play the game all over again.So plz help me
Hi all

I have been trying to create a backup of the stock rom on my phone, but when I try to in CWM recovery I get error message "error while making a backup image of / data". Can anyone help me with this or tell me how to make a backup of the stock rom.

When you do a backup, the .android_secure folder form the external sd is backed up as .android_secure.img (It's hidden in the backup set and not included in the md5 checksum). This always gets backed up, even in an advanced backup where data is excluded.
Then when you try to do a full_restore from this backup, after it restores /data it attemps to restore .android_secure.img and fails formatting the device, which kicks CWM out of the restore function and back to the main menu.
I've not tried it with the sdcard removed. I didn't know it would fall back to the internal sdcard. Easiest way around the issue (for now) is to erase .android_secure.img from your backup folders.the backup folder will be pushed to thr cwm folder in /data/media internal storage and your phone will reeboot into cwm to restore the nandroid backup...If you use samsung toolkit ; the point n5 is the backup and restore entry ,then passes to the point n10 and performs restore \data\media (internal virtual sd card) if the backup is done correctly you will have no problems ...
Cheers for the advice but I used the complete tool kit and made a back up that way.
Hello guys!
Recently I decided to flash a new ROM, and before that i made a nandroid backup with CWM. Backup was saved in /storage/extSdCard/clockworkmod/backup. After a new rom flashing, i didn't like it, so i decided to restore from my nandroid backup. When I open Rom manager app, and select to restore backup, my backup shows up, however, when I click restore, after booting to recovery menu, it says "can't mount backup path". I have rom manager CWM recovery v5.5.3.7.
What should I do? Is it possible to restore from PC?
Delete (please ignore)
have you tried to move your nandroid backup to the internal storage and restore from there?

So I've finally managed to install a CWM recovery for my spreadtrum phone. Went on to do my first nandroid backup but I noticed near the end of the procedure it said sd-ext partition not found sd-ext not backed up (something to that effect). I know I have an sd-ext partition because I am using link2sd (using fat32 for partitions). My question is what will happen in the event I restore that backup? Will the linked apps in the sd-ext partition need reinstall? Is there any potential problem that may occur if I restore? Thanks in advance.
