Guys i have a karbonn A21 running ICS 4.0.4
I recently flashed its newly compiled CWM recovery 5.0.xx version ( 5.0.2.8 is full name i guess)
When i try to backup my rom.. it backs up my system image... everything but when it comes to backing up of data .. it gets stuck at the last on a file tombstonenocrash01 .. and after some time the phone reboots itself.
When i check my backup folder in clockworkmod there's about 435 MB of backup data in there including recovery.img , boot.img , data.ext4.tar and system.ext4.tar .
I just wanna ask that is the backup of my rom Complete and is it safe to restore that backup without any errors ?
Because it didnt show " backup complete" and rebooted itself automatically while backing up data in the end .
Help me please !!!
I would not recommend to restore this backup. I don't think it is consistent.
Try the following:
Open your file manager and go to /data/tombstones. Delete tombstonenocrash01 and try backup again.

Dont you think it might cause a system crash by deleting that file ? Cause its in the android data folder( not on the sdcard) . There are three of those tombstone files. When i extracted my backed up data.ext4.tar i saw those three files are present . And moreover the size of data folder in android directory is same as that of backed up data.ext4.tar .
What should i do ? Restore or not ?
I am scared cause at the moment we dont have any stock rom for the device and if i restore the device and problem crops up then my device is gone. Suggestions please
I wouldn't use that backup ....it will tell you when backup is complete .......and it doesn't look like yours is
Your phone is still working ??? I would download a stock rom or another rom for your phone and copy it to sd card at least you can
use cwm to install it
Hope this helps

As I wrote, don't restore.
For deciding to delete the tombstone files you might want to know what they are for:
If one of your apps crash (forced close) such a tombstone file is created. It is kind of a system dump to search for the error. Maybe some apps crashed in the past on your phone.
Always remember:
Files in /data are configuration files. If you format/wipe data in CWM recovery and reboot, your system is still okay. Wiping data only leaves you without configuration of the apps you have installed.
So don't panic, deleting tombstone files does no damage to your system.

Deleting tombstone files doesnt help. It's still getting stuck at backing up data . Recovery's fault i guess

and now its impossible to to delete/mount efs dir cant install new rom from cwm or odin only stock 4.04 installs ok but same problem persist no matter what if i try flashing newest stock rom 4.1.1 it wont write to nand - pit files from sammy site does the same no writing to nand
I have no imei and unable to format efs dir!! tried rooting it through galaxy 3 toolkit 6.0 and it workng ok i get root and recovery- but from here there no way to mount efs dir same says efsbackup pro when i try to recover/format efs
seems like its missing a pit file..or at least at total format of internal sd, but havent been able to do that until now!
Does anyone have a idea whats going on ? PLS help
