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

Hi
1. How can I backup the efs partition with TWRP v2.7.1.0 that is already installed on my xt1022?
If I boot to TWRP recovery, touch the backup icon, so I get only the possibility to backup:
[x]System
[x]Data
Cache
[x]Boot
But I don't get the choice for efs, like there is one I saw on pictures (hyperlinks are not allowed for new xda users) an older TWRP version then mine for an other smartphone.
2. How can I backup the efs partition with an dd linux command - in an root adb (root already activated)?
3. How can I then restore this efs partition in case of an efs disaster?
Thanks in advance!
Use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.partitions
It automatically highlights appropriate partitions. Restore functionality is also available.

once you have twrp flashed or side loaded, click the backup button. Then backup what you need. I believe the system partition is all that needs to be restored to get OTAs, but I'd backup the boot img anyways (especially if you are going to flash custom kernel).
The easiest way to get the backup off your watch is via ADB. But i believe you can use an app from playstore to copy from watch to your phone if you dont have ADB setup on a computer. Backups are saved to /sdcard/TWRP

thanks man just did the backup after installing twrp and everything is good.
This is a Backup of the PH1 ROM's system and modem partitions. Excepting the recovery, this is a stock ROM, without the SD card fix or root.
You will need a custom recovery to install this ROM. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/how-to-root-note-3-lollipop-t3089382)
Always perform the appropriate backups and other steps just in case something messes up. If you are on OH1 or OK2, you should be able to just flash and go without any data loss (except root and custom system apps), but no promises.
Extract the folder (ES File Explorer or 7 Zipper) to "extsdcard/TWRP/backups/[serial number]" then boot into recovery and restore the image.
The easiest way to get the recovery folder is to simply make a backup, then extract this folder next to backup you just made.
I didn't factory reset prior to this backup because it's just system partitions, so let me know if there's anything weird.

Hello Everyone!
When I was restoring one of my OrangeFox 10.1_1_stable backups, My device went-off almost in the middle of the backup. I somehow managed to bring it alive. But when I restored my backup with TWRP 3.2.3-1 recovery, it was restored perfectly, and the system booted.
I had posted my problem in detail here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83046045&postcount=667
I want to know whether the recovery had bugs OR I made the error of restoring the wrong partitions?
And I have one more query too -
In official TWRP, I always made backup of every partition EXCEPT RECOVERY AND FIRMWARE, and never ever had even a single problem in backup or restore.
But in Orangefox, I saw some partitions, which were not in TWRP. The backup in which I faced problem had all partitions EXCEPT RECOVERY AND INTERNAL STORAGE (i couldnt find FIRMWARE in Orangefox, and INTERNAL STORAGE in TWRP).
So, why the two recoveries show different partitions.
And most importantly, which partitions should be backed up, that can be restored safely to get my device in previous state exctly?
So here is some additional detail.
I have one-one backup - one from my TWRP 3.2.3-1, and the other from the OrangeFox 10.1-1-stable on my PC. On viewing the files of the backups, I found the following -
