Hello guys, i've recently got back to stock rom just to be sure to delete every mod done to my MB860, did this via RSD (A safe method tested even after with unlocked bootloader).
Thing is, when doing a backup of the rom via CWM says the next message:
error while making a backup image of /pds!
I've installed long ago the PDS Fix but after i've replaced my touchscreen i've rolled back to my stock backed PDS, but the CMW doesn't seems to be able to back up that partition, so CWM is a no go, and i have to roll to TWRP to backup, but i wish to know if there's a fix to this issue.
Thanks.

Hello there guys.
I've done a full backup with clockwork but if i try to restore it i get a error message about the boot image...i can't restore it. now i was able to restore system..data..and so on via advanced restore...i get no boot animation but the system is up an running. i can't get the wifi to work...what can i do now?
I used a clockwork 4.0.1.4 with root enabled..i flashed it whit Odin.
Thanks guys
forgot to mention I own a Galaxy S 2
Flash a clean stock rom as your backup is corrupt.

Same issue
I took a full backup with CWM (4.0.0.2) to test a Kitchen ROM. After getting it to work I wanted to switch back to my standard ROM (CF-Root KE7), but it failed with the boot image ("error flashing boot image").
If the backup was corrupt I would expect the MD5 to fail, but it didn't. Like the OP I was able to restore all the other items one by one, which now gives me a Frankenstein ROM: KE7 with the Kitchen-selected Kernel (Ninphetamine) and baseband (KH1).
I'll flash a new stock ROM with CF-Root again, but I am doubting CWM now.
I attempted to flash a rom I have downloaded from rom manager and after the recovery had backed everything up it just failed to flash and said the file was (bad)...
So I thought I would be ok and just started up again, once I got into the rom I realised that all my apps have gone and all my system data. I went to download Rom Manager from the Market but obviously my account with google was not signed in so I tried to do that.
NO KEYBOARD!
So now whenever I tap on a text box the keyboard does not appear.
I went back to recovery to try and restore my backup and it says MD5 Mismatch?
I thought I would play it safe and take off all my Titanium Backup file onto my PC so I have everything safe, but its only 10mb?! I backed everything up and there was a few MASSIVE games that took me ages to download, where have my proper backups gone?
I have a really bad feeling that my SD card is corrupted or something nothing seems to be working.
Am I going to try and use fastboot to put a decent rom on there or get the backup to work?
Any help would be a god send!
You got the right idea. Use fastboot to flash a ROM and go from there.
For sure fast boot and i would make sure and do a full fastboot wipe also might be a goos odea to test out sd caed on computer transfer filws to and from it and see of files obtain any issues or data loss

I spent a while this weekend flashing my Atrix. I don't know what version you were on but this is a relatively safe (but do it at your own risk) method to recover an Atrix to latest Stock.
If you want to go straight to a custom ROM...You can do this:
Download a ROM to your SD card (I tried Turls and Joker's...using Turls right now)
Reboot into your CWM and format your data, system and cache partitions then install from zip from your internal/external card
I like to reboot back into recovery, clear the battery stats and then reboot into the rom
If you want to go to stock...This process worked for me since I have a problem with Nandroid not restoring my /system file so I gave up on trying to use CWM for backup/restore functionality and use Titanium Backup for that. CWM still works great for other functionality....As a side effect of a failed /system restore with CWM I have a non-booting phone...
SO....my recovery for this has been:
Use the Motorola Automatic Update using a PC...It will download the 141 stock SBF and flash your phone, at this point you're basically latest stock (I flashed this over unlocked bootloader)
Unlock your bootloader using the AUTOMATIC_UNLOCK_V4.2
Re-root your phone using the /preinstall method
Restore (if you have a backup) with Titanium Backup
Then download and install a custom rom at a later time
Thanks guys but it was a ****ty SD card! Peace.

So I had my Epic 4g Touch running on ics 4.0.4 root and it was working totally fine, UNTIL....I decided to install the cyanogenmod 10.1 rom to see how jellybean 4.2.2 is all about. I followed the instructions exactly as they were depicted on a youtube video, and used clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.7 to backup my current rom (ICS 4.0.4). The 4.2.2 ran totally fine, until I tried restoring my data from the old rom I had before (I hope Im not confusing anyone). After restoring the data, the jellybean rom would stay stuck in the boot up screen. Then I tried just restoring the entire rom from backup, my phone would just boot right back into custom recovery mode after completing the backup restore. I then tried restoring my phone to the old 4.0.4 root that I had before, but I would just run into the same problems whenever trying to do a full backup restore or just a data restore (phone just cycling back into custom recovery mode)
Is there anything I could do???? I can still look into my phone's eternal sd card and see that the recovery files are still there. I just need to restore my phone back because it would be a lot of trouble finding contacts, redownloading apps, as well I had some vital memo pad files that I really need to get back for my business. IS THERE ANY WAY I COULD RECOVER MY PHONE DATA???? PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Thanks guys. I found a solution. I just kept the new cyanogenmod 10.1 and used the nandroid manager app to restore all of my apps and the rest of my data individually. Worked great!!
Hello I was having problems in backing up data in nandroid using cwm recovery. Some nice guy suggested me to change my recovery so I did.
Now i have messed up real bad, i flashed a philz recovery which I had used in a stock based rom and the backup was successful but then the phone couldn't boot up. So i restored the boot patrition from a previously made backup. This way i successfully booted up my phone and got previous recovery. So far so good. Now i knew that the problem is in recovery. I also had a raw kernel file which I had used to flash the cm11 rom so i flashed that kernel. But then i restated device to find out that i have now lost root access. I tried flashing super su via raw kernels twrp recovery but I saw no effect despite it being flashed. I cannot flash the recovery because the curreny twrp recovery crashes when i try to flash that.
Current situation is that I am getting constant unlimited, system process is crashed, errors and I can see no signal from mobile operator. Wifi is working fine.
Please help me, my phone is almost unusable with this error but I have access to all the apps, functions etc. in case you can suggest me to use it.
UPDATE:
Tried to flash a latest version of cm11 and now booted up correctly. root checker says I am rooted.
got latest cwm as well
Now I need to take backup to see if the initial problem is there or not.
As the issue highlighted in this thread is solved, I will mark this as solved and will reply to future problems (related to not being able to backup /data) in the following thread:

Hello there I have a couple questions regarding to the red honor boot logo and also on how to update from a stock rom with TWRP and root ( also a couple of system modifications ) to the new B331 update.
So heres the rundown, when I first got my honor 5x I did not spend too much time on the stock rom I went ahead and rooted my phone and installed TWRP then made a backup of my stock rom (B151) no modifications other than SuperSU being installed. After that I went ahead and installed CM13 nightlies and updated mostly everyday up until the build July-18-16. I had adoptable storage enabled with my 32GB SD card and I totally forgot to disable the adoptable option before I reverted to my stock backup so when I went onto TWRP and tried to restore my backup I always got an error where it said something along the lines " error; could not find system" but instead of it backing out it continued to restore and bricked my phone. I had a somewhat clever idea to flash any build of CM13 I had on my computer and guess what it booted then I disabled the adoptable storage and booted back onto TWRP restored my backup and everything was fine until it booted and I noticed the honor boot logo had a red "h". I found that weird since I have restored my backup previously and that never happened. Anyone knows what it could mean and how to fix it?
My second question is how should I go about updating to B331? Should I download the stock recovery B151 ( since that is what shipped with my phone and is what my backup is) then revert to my near stock backup, flash stock recovery and unroot then update through cslA's B331 instructions? Or should I somehow fix the red honor boot logo then go ahead with what I stated above or is this all done differently? I am not a newbie at these kind of things I just moved onto more important things in life and simply want to update my phone. My needs for flashing new roms daily are over and I just simply like huawei's UI as it just "works" for me. Thanks to anyone who responds anything is appreciated as I can't seem to get my old skills working again. Haha:laugh:
Fibgerprint aint working right? U cant go back to stock with just a normal twrp backup. Install an update.app through dload for your region and then apply the twrp backup.. Make sure you are on B151 Recovery!

No, my fingerprint is working... I just wanted to go back to stock ROM with root and that's what I got just now I have a red honor bootlogo. Now I want to update to marshmallow but I have a fear that even if I follow the steps onto reverting to stock I may brick it because of the red bootlogo.
So what you are saying is I should download my B151 recovery and firmware to revert to stock then update and from there I should root and install TWRP?
