Clockworkmod Backup

Is there any way to change clockworkmod backup to flashable zip. The backup use a lot of space when I move it to my pc and decide to restore back, the md5 checksum doesnt match,

Haven't heard such a feature of flashable zip for CWM backup files. Besides, it's already compressed, so if it's quite large then maybe you do have a lot of files and data in your device.
Regarding checksum not matched; please do not rename or delete any folder / files from CWM backup folder contents when you do backup to PC.

I faced the same problem few days ago, and this solution worked for me.

[Q] how to create cm7.2 odin flash fw

hi guys i am running cm7.2 nightly on my captivate and i want to create an odin flashable firmware of cm7.2 rom on windows xp for backup purpose please give me a full tutorial on doing this

I believe it isn't possible. I was asking around for ICS and from what i gathered it isn't.

Two things you could do.
1.download the newest nightly that you want to base it on.
2. Use Root Explorer and EXTRACT ALL.
3. Then go to the extracted folder for the nightly, and delete out the SYSTEM folder.
4.Now MAKE SURE you have your phone set up EXACTLY how you want it to look like. Reboot the phone once that is done.
5. Now with root explorer navigate to /system and long press on the system folder. Choose COPY
6. Navigate to the extracted folder (which should be like sdcard/speedsoftware/extracted OR something like that) and go into the folder where you deleted out SYSTEM folder earlier. Now long press and choose PASTE.
7. Back out until your back at the extracted folder name, long press on it and choose RENAME. Pick the name you want it to be. (I usually use something like: CM7.2RockRattRedRemixThemed02-10-2012).
8.Long press on the name again and choose ZIP THIS FOLDER.
9. GO TO ZIPPED FOLDER.
10. Move the zipped folder to your sdcard, reboot to recovery and flash it to make sure it works.
11. If it worked just copy or or move that .zip file to your computer for backup.
Or I can upload the one I have created so you can see it and test it out. I have made some other changes so it is partially already themed, has the theme chooser. apk File I use instead of the stock theme chooser .apks that come with the original cm7. I use zip themer to set up certain things so they are automatically themed when just flashing the build i created. Hope this helps you get an idea of a pretty bazsic way of making your own cwm flashable cm7 rom already personalized. Oh I also delete of some of the apps that come in cm7 and just put my own personal apps into the system folder so I already have them built in.

thanks for your effort and reply but i want to create odin flashable fw not cwm, i know how to create cwm flashable rom, but anyway thanks for your reply

You could DD'ing a back up of all partitions and then tar'ing it, then flashing it in ODIN

Aren't the partition blocks different on AOSP?

Yess, but you can look them up then dd them, and DL the pit with heimdall, and create an ODIN FW flasher

Boot.img vs zImage. Way around?

decompile the boot.img and grab the zImage from the decompiled boot.img

[Q] How to make a rom backup (from rom manager) to become a flashable version of CWM?

I've just flash a rom (download from xda, which is in *.zip format JB4.12) by CWM to my note 1, successfully.
Now I've just backup the rom, with some apps and data, by rom manager. However, the backup come with several files include a *.img instead of a zip file.
Anybody know, how can I make these files to become one *zip file, which I can flash it to the system and make it become factory default??
Please help...

I would suggest you taking a nandroid using CWM recovery..its easy to backup & restore..about your question regarding rom manager, may be you can put all the .img files into 1 .zip file, but i really don't know if it will make a flashable rom..

simply say, how to backup thwart whole roman with data which is flashable to cwm?

Nandroid backup backs up the entire rom and is restorable via cwm.

Thanks for prompt reply.
Will it create *.zip files that can be used to flash to factory default rom?

Not .zip AFAIK..it does on .tar format & another format (forgot the name)..anyways, u should be able to flash .tar using mobile odin..

It doesnot make a zip file. it makes a folder with the date and time when you made the backup. in it has ext4 files of you system,data cache, modem kernel etc.. all you need to do is boot into recovery and go to backup & restore and choose the folder you want to restore and it will do the job.. it doesnot require a zip file this way.

New CWM and backup

Anyone knows how the new CWM backup works? With previous versions when i backup a ROM evertyhing was in it. They used to be 200-500 MB according to the rom and programs. But when i tried to backup a ROM with new version the backup is 13 MB...? But another folder is created named "blobs". And it is around 940 MB. I don't understand how this works.
With previous versions when i backup a ROM i could just move it to PC because it was only one file. Now i don't know what to do? Is the 13 MB file enough? What happens to "blobs" folder? Should make a copy of it too? Shortly wth is that??
I use ROM Manager

The blobs folder contains all your apps. Copy the entire clockworkmod Folder to your computer.

You can change the backup method from blob to the older tar method in the settings of CWM (not the ROM Manager). You have to boot into the recovery system to change this.

[Q] Trying to restore stock firmware, aborted each time

Hey All, have google and googled for the past week but nothing specific to this issue I'm having.
I want to restore my stock firmware so I can get OTA updates! I didn't make any sort of backup when I began playing with different roms. I have htc_039 unbranded aus htc one. Bootloader has been unlocked with S-on and TWRP installed.
Downloaded Deevans/bugsys nandroid backup that matched my phone details (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41368105&postcount=375&nocache=1&z=2030115523399023) but there isn't any sort of instructions on installing these.
When i have tried to flash the rom I get "installation aborted" and when playing with fastboot it has given me messages that it cannot find certain .txt files (something like android.txt and a few other ones.
Could someone please tell me what im doing wrong or list the instructions to install this? I don't know if I have to lock the phone again, restore the recovery file first, no idea!!! Or is there anyway to turn the Android Revolution 12 image to get OTA (i dont think so)?
If you need any further phone info I will post.

Can anyone help with this?
When I try to flash the file in TWRP it starts and stops at "Updating partition Details".
What have i not setup right? Have been using these resources:

Hi,
I'm new to the htc one so not sure here but from what I understand and anyone please correct me if wrong - but if it's Deevans nandroid 1.29.980.2 (Australia unbranded) it's a CWM backup and I don't think they work in TWRP.
So think you would have to flash CWM, then flash "restore" nandroid from CWM or find a TWRP nandroid.
Also think you need s-off before you do ota as no way to gain s-off with revone on updated hboot 1.54 yet.
Hope this helps.

Thank for the reply
I have tried to install this with CWM which gave me those first missing ".txt" files. I will give it another go with CMW and post the results.
I will also S-OFF before doing the above.

Phone is now S-off and put CWM as the loader. Tried the zip file again and says:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
I have also downloaded the file twice to confirm its not corrupted and it opens through winrar with no problems.
Any other suggestions?

I would try restore it like a backup, so unzip and put files in your CWM backup folder.
Not sure how CWM backup folder looks but in TWRP it's like /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/... or /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/...
So I would try unzipping and copy files (boot, data, recovery, system) to /sdcard/CWM/BACKUPS/folder/put files in here - then boot to recovery and try "restore" option and browse to backup folder. You could probably copy the files to any folder on the sdcard and restore from recovery not sure.

Thanks for your suggestion and that was going to be my next question. The file I mentioned in the first post is x.xxx.xxx.zip (x as the numbers) and inside that zip is a folder with the same name x.xxx.xxx and inside that folder are all the files.
I tried putting the folder only in CMW but wont detect it, tried it with the .zip file and fails. Have now just put all the files into the folder and tried again with same failure.
There is a very long error in the recovery.txt file it made, don't know if its any use but the first line that pops out is:
Starting TWRP 2.6.0.1 on Fri Aug 2 06:23:49 2013
BOARD_HAS_NO_REAL_SDCARD
I put the file into this link if you know of anything, makes little sense to me. http://pastebin.com/Tvp2Qp2X

Are you using TWRP recovery? or CWM recovery?

I have now tried both TWRP and CWM and fails, also have installed ROM manager and another one I cant recall from play store. Also booted into recovery and went to the 'restore' option from the menu but cant find any directories..
I dont know if this has anything to do with it but noticed in the contents of the file:
ARCHIVE: cache.ext4.tar
ARCHIVE: data.ext4.tar
ARCHIVE: system.ext4.tar
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar.a
data.ext4.tar.a
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
recovery.log
system.ext4.tar.a
system..ext4.tar.b
Not to get ahead of myself but HTC ONE is ext2or 3 by default, its not something simple as having to change it to ext4? Its just something that stood out.

Just done google search on CWM backup location and seems to be /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup - so you could try copy the zip and/or files there and try restore from CWM recovery and see if that works.

Interesting that there was no 'backup' folder inside that folder. Have created it and putting the files and zip in there now.
Was also googl'n and found this article:
http://miuiandroid.com/community/th...d-restore-error-while-restoring-sd-ext.15611/
Someone mentioned to now open the zip file when it downloads. I'll try your suggestions and this and let you know what happens tomorrow.
Thanks again

Morning,
Have downloaded the .zip file again twice and put it onto the SD and clockwork Mod backup folder and it has aborted again.
Any ideas on what to try from here?
