One day i decided i had enough of cyanogenmod and decided stock samsung was the way to go. I did a full backup with the latest version of clockworkmod, the full backup weights 2.99gb. When i try to restore it using any version of clockwork it gets up to restoring data then says Error while restoring /data!
i can boot back to cyanogenmod however apps are "installed" but they all say that they are not
Please help because i really need this phone
Either the file is corrupt or your sd card card could be damaged. It would be easier to flash stock with Odin and start again.
and if you have to /will go further without old backups, switch to TWRP after having rooted
Strange because i copied it without any errors... oh well. :crying:

Hi, i thought something went wrong with my android so i did a flash but before that i did a backup.
After flashing, i found out with was a problem with my carrier not my phone, therefore i wish to restore the clockworkmod backup. As soon as i restore it from clockworkmod screen, i've booted back into a fresh Android with some apps missing.
Help please?
I've found out the problem. My nandroid din't backup the whole system. Apparently my memory card was full... Sigh
Hello
Here is my story
I was trying to upgrade to ICS by flashing the latest stock ROM XXLPS that I got from Samfirmware.
1- on the first try I did not perform a full wipe, the ROM was a no wipe ROM so It upgraded and all my apps are kept there,. after a while I start facing errors and restarts so I fall back
2- on the second try I flashed the ROM then I did a full wipe/factory reset. It was working well until I rooted it using CF-root and started to restore my apps using TB. I noticed that the problems are coming from Apps installed on external SD, sometimes it was unmounted automatically
Anyway I did a fall back using a CWM restore, I noticed after restore that CSC and baseband are still the ICS ones ? I thought that CWM backup and restore everything??!!
I have also had the same experience once....
when we select advance restore we can find these:
1) Restore Boot (which include boot image and Kernel)
2) Restore System (complete system files)
3) Restore Data (user data like apps and user data etc..)
4) Restore Cache
5) Restore Sd-ext (if we set a partition for applications in the externel SD card)
Unless the CSC is already integreted in system (2nd item) I believe these 2 items, especially baseband, are not backed up normally from CWM, otherwise there should be a restoring option too .....
Especially if you go from one generation to another (Gingerbread to Icecream e.g.) its more complicated to go back a step. You should flash a base Gingerbread ROM from samfirmware e.g. with ODIN (not a CWM version) and then try to restore your Gingerbread backup.
After you flashed the base you may change CSC before you restore your backup. This is the cleanest way to get back.
CWM nandroid is not what we know as a real image backup of a PC.
Thanks guys for the clarifications
BTW regarding the upgrade to ICS what is the best option to do it and restore back the apps or keep them ?

This you have to do with Titanium back up not with CWM back-up...with Titanium Backup pro you can restore applications from nandroid (CWM) backup.
there should not be any problem while you restore only apps on the ICS, some may not work, just unsinstall such...better you select it individually and install... but dont attempt for any system data restore....
This is exactly what I have done, i tried to restore using TB but from backup taken by TB and not from Nandroid.
It was working fine but later start to hang and restart. I noticed that the issue is coming from applications installed on external SD? Is there any issue with ICS or CF-root kernel and external SD card?

try moving all apps from ext sdcard to phone for a while and check for any issues like hang or restart
I found an open issue related to crash and reboots when a large number of apps are installed on sd card.

I rooted my phone yesterday and flashed one of the ICS ROMS. Prior to flashing the ROM, I made a backup of my stock ROM using CWM. Instead of keeping the backup on my sd card, I moved it to my computer's hard drive. I decided I wanted to restore my backup, so I moved the back up files back on to my sd card. However, when I try to restore, CWM is unable to find the files.
Anyone know how I can get the back up restored through CWM?
Hello guys,
I have a question. Lately I have been running into problems with Making/Recovering Nandroid backup's.
Right now, I wanted to make an Nandroid backup of my current stuff so I can move to CM10 again. I enter recovery, start a backup, it fails while doing /data. So I try again, but this time to Internal Storage. It took a very long while, then it failed. I rebooted, it seemed I was "low on storage". I checked that failed Nandroid backup on my Internal SDcard, I saw it was over 6GB's
So yeah, weird stuff. I'm running the last 5.xxx version of normal Recovery (so not the touch one or the 6.xxx) one. If really needed I will enter recovery so I can give the exact version.
edit: v5.8.4.5
One known recovery problem can be if you are using a different recovery version to the one backed up with .
jje
Tried it again to external sd card, ended up with a failure /data. Off course the backup was 4.7GB's and my SDcard got full.
Why is my phone going rage mode and making gigantic nandroid backup's?
Flashed latest recovery from ROM Manager (6.0.1.0) and it seems fine now.
When i try to perform a nandroid, either via twrp or cwm, because they both say my data partition is about 4.65 terabytes. Changing the firmware doesnt seem to help. Currently running CleanROM 1.6.5. any ideas?

Having the same issue on a Droid Razr HD, since I first flashed a 4.2 rom in July, I've wiped and formatted every partition on my phone multiple times, restored nandroids, used CWM and TWRP, tried newer versions and older ones, even a couple of custom variants based on CWM and TWRP, but my phone continues to report 1133300Mb as the size of my /data partition when in recovery.
If I try to backup anyway, it errors when my 32GB SD card fills up (I tried formatting it once and it literally filled the 32GB card with an unusable backup file that I just had to delete. I want to try restoring stock via RSD lite but really wanted to backup first, I can do backups WITHOUT the /data partition, but won't that mess things up if I try to restore?
***update
I did a full unbrick restore using RSD and now my partition is reporting correctly. if/when I flash another 4.3 rom, I'll update again with any changes...
