Is it possible to use CWM to take an nandroid backup on my pendrive?
I'm using xperia U and I don't have much place on internal storage.
I'm using DevSwift's Jellybean rom with experimental kernel 11.0c
You have actually raised my questions?
I was about to ask here?

Yes you can do it with cwm.
Connect your pendrive (mount it if it doesn't mount automatically) and select it for the backup. (e.g for xperia p was /storage/usbdisk)

Could you please explain the steps? that would be very helpful
My device is xperia p with cwm v6.0.4.7
- Boot to recovery,
- Connect your flash drive (if it doesn't mount automatically go to Mounts and Storage and select Mount USB storage)
- Then go to Backup and Restore option and select backup to /storage/usbdisk (which is your flash drive)
That's it.Wait till the backup ends and reboot your device.
If you want to restore the backup follow the same steps but in step 3 select:
- restore from /storage/usbdisk or
- advanced restore from /storage/usbdisk

Ask here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/cwm-cwm-recovery-6-0-1-2-locked-t2020895
Connect your flash drive and see if it works !!
If it doesn't just install another cwm for your phone.

Hi there.
I have an S2 (GT-I9100) running a rooted stock 2.3.5 (!) firmware.
I have Clockwork mod 4.0.0.2 installed.
Can I just download a regular intl release and have it installed by following the simple instructions on the main thread or am I missing anything?
Would it be a matter of simply restoring my backup if I screw up?
Thanks.
Make a nandroid backup with ur CWM.
Recovery mode > backup and restore > create backup (choose if internal sd or to external)
Now u have a backup u anyway (if phone boots ) can restore if something happens.
- For flashing load the CM files + newest gapps to sd card
- Than backup all apps u need
- go to recovery and do a full wipe (!)
* wipe data / factory reset
* wipe cache
* advanced > wipe dalvik cache
* mount and storage > format data/system/cache
- flash the Rom (CM)
- flash gapps
- Reboot
That's it!
PS: if u want to go back just go to recovery mode and go to backup and restore > restore (choose where u backup data)

Make sure you run the latest CWM before flashing 10.1 or you might encounter some issues.
Thanks all.
So CWM 4.0.0.2 will not be good enough?
Is there an easy way to upgrade cwm to the latest textual version? (4.0.1.5 if I am not mistaken). Do I have to go through the "guess which image/kernel to put" all over again?
Thanks again.
This is my first thread after a years here without any problems to flash on my i9300.
My condition:
1. Previously use CM 10.1
2. Update to CM 10.2 --> It's OK without problems.
4. Restore all my apps from Titanium Backup --> Still OK
5. Uninstall Xposed framework for Reverse Tethering 3.7 --> Reboot --> Install same Xposed framework --> Reboot --> TADAAA!! problem occured :crying:
6. Stuck at bootloader
7. Have done many things but failed untill reinstall stock recovery and stock rom through ODIN --> Myphone start to breath
8. Done MegaWipe before reinstall TWRP recovery, CM 10.2, Gapps and restore some apps through TB --> No problems.
9. Try to nandroid backup via TWRP and get error log as below :
Backing up Data...
Breaking backup file into multiple archives...
E: Error tarring split files!

Maybe sectors in eMMC going bad. My advice would be to have at least 4GB free on internal SD at all times. Backup weekly but only to external SD. Avoid writing to internal SD as much as possible. (also be 100% certain that you have multiple EFS backups). If you are using a dual-boot kernel - try to do most of your extensive work in a ROM that you install as second (and keep 1st as emergency backup).

I don't think it is covered - or at least not as long as the phone is non-stock and it still starts
The backups can be done from a custom recovery - for instance with Philz there is a menu called "Backup to external SD". By using external SD you are minimizing the chance that something goes bad on the internal SD.

TWRP also can backup to external drive. Have been tried and failed...
As your suggestion I installed Philz recovery and "Backup to external SD" and it completed nicely without any problem :laugh:
what is the different? i think it should be same backup target. it is external SD card but failed with TWRP.
Thank you

I think it might be a small difference on where the intermediary files are stored but I can't say anything more without studying the source code (and asking Phil what the differences are in the dedicated Philz thread might be simpler).
Hi everybody ,
I need your help to install Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 on my s2 i9100 , now i'm on ics 4.0.3 official .
Read the install instructions on the first page of the thread, follow the instructions. It's not exactly rocket surgery.

Flash philz kernel (choose according to your build number)
Boot into recovery
Select wipe data/factory reset
Select clean to install a new rom
Install rom zip
Install gapps
Reboot
If u get status 7 error then instead of flashing philz ...Flash any siyah/dorimanx kernle for ics.
Good luck.

The method for rooting and flashing CWM
1) Download Odin (http://androidfirmwares.net/Tools)
2) Download root kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1103399)
-- just scroll down and search for ur version (settings>about phone>basis version)
3) Flash it via Odin
-- Extract .zip
-- load the root kernel in Odin (as PDA)
-- Put SGSII in download mode (Vol-, Home and Powerbutton)
-- Press "Start"
4) Phone should reboot by itself
5) Turn it off, then start phone in recovery mode (Vol+, Home and Powerbutton)
6) Check if u have enough space for backup on sd card (to be sure: 2GB)
7) Go to:
-- Backup and restore
-- Backup to internal sd card (for sure u can choose external if have and want it there)
-- confirm it and then let do the phone the backup (can take a while [5-20 min])
method to flash rom
1) Download Rom
2) Put it on internal sd card
3) Go into recovery mode (see above)
4) DO A FULL WIPE!! (U won't loose ur backup on sd card [but u can copy it to PC, too, if u want])
-- wipe data/ factory reset
-- wipe cahe partition
-- advanced > wipe dalvik cache
-- mount and storage > format data/system/cache
5) Then flash Rom via recovery
-- install .zip from sd card > choose .zip from sd card
-- Select the downloaded Custom Rom and flash it
6) Reboot and u r done!
hope this helps

Simply Stated
You Need To State that you are testing the Recoveries you've posted on a SM-C101 Specificaly
There are many variants of the s4-Zoom Two from AT&T alone
Not that it affects you directly, but I personally would not want someone to brick their device based on my unsubstantiated claims.
" I just read where someone has already bricked a device, flashing a recovery you posted for a SM-C101 on a SM-C105 "
HERE: Post #7
You simply need to do a better job of posting in detail
Thank You

This info should be included in your OP on all the recovery posts you've made
This recovery looks great i tried Twrp but usb mounting didn't work for me it did here and i like the UI better TWRP was just too complicated cwm soft bricked my Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom 3G Black (SM-C1010) (Nordic edition, bought in Sweden i live here so ordered my zoom from a store in north Sweden and im very happy with it, i lost my Sony Xperia Z in a taxi a while ago i was drunk and it fell out of my pocket when i was getting out of it so it probably landed on the seat and didn't get it returned) and this is based on Cwm so i expected to have to revert back to stock with odin but thankfully i didn't need too so im backuping my Rom right now (stock rooted)
This recovery is working fine with my SM-C105, and its a lot much better than TWRP.

Device Tree
Is there a working device tree for the SM-C101 so I can port recovery and/or roms? When I build a recovery the phone bootloops. Here's my setup:

THIS PROCESS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA
I encrypted my HTC ONE MAX last day and because of TWRP error in decrypting my partitions,Like:
Code:
Mount /SYSTEM.error
Mount /DATA error
I decided to decrypte my phone but as I said, TWRP recovery Didn't found any partion on my internal strong.
The solution is simple :
1.Download stock HTC stock recovery :
Stock Recovery Sense 6 - Latest
Stock recovery 3.23.401.1 (Google Drive Download Link) (it's for international version - Find more in other threads)
2.Boot into bootloader -> Fastboot
Use your ADB :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_t6ul-3.23.401.1.img
3. Go to your Setting -> Backup & Reset and Reset Your device
your device will reboot and recovery will ERASE ALL YOUR DATA
Now You have Non-encrypted Device
4.in final step you could flash TWRP again Like:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-t6ul.img
Another option is using TWRP...
Go into the Wipe settings,
Select Format Data,
Type Yes when prompt
And when is complete, complete a Factory Reset under the Wipe settings.
Don't forget that it will wipe internal storage so you will need to have a copy of the ROM on the external storage to flash..

When your device is encrypted, TWRP Can't mount your internal storage!
It should decrypt with stock recovery first...

It does when you format the data.. I was encrypted and read this technique in a separate HTC forum.
