Ok, so I have been attempting to Flash ROM to Doomed Froyo. I keep hearing to Nandroid Back up.
So I go into ROM Manager and then Back up current ROM being ClockworkMod.
When I visit Manage & Restore Back ups there's no Back up files. I'm beginning to concern myself that it's not backing up! If I go to my File Manager and rummage through ClockworkMod there's no Backup folder or such of that sort.
Am I doing something wrong here? Or is the back up ROM pulled in CWM?
CWM is not a ROM

So my main issue is when I Back up Current ROM it only takes 3 minutes at least to go through rebooting the issue.
I go into ClockworkMod on my SD card and there's no Backup folder containing my 'Backup'
I need small bits of help, what am I doing wrong?
-Should I manually make the 'backup' folder?

I never claimed CWM was a ROM -__________-
I proposed asking if I could find my backup via the CWM Reboot?
I can't seem to find a backup folder in Clockwork Mod. I am not understanding this Nandroid and backing up a current ROM.

Are you looking on the external sdcard? That's where it all gets stored. It also be that you need to manually boot into cwm and do your business that way. Our port may not be fully compatible with rom manager yet.

Can some one please help me my phone will create a nandroid but wen I go to restore it I get an error no matter wat I do
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Two things usually cause this, either the folder is renamed and has a space in the name, or you are low on battery and need to charge your phone (greater than 50% is best)
Also have a close to full SDCard will cause it.
damn forgot that one. lol Don't think about it, never an issue for me

well it restored this time but after 3 hours on the htc screen i pulled the battery
I have this same issue.
I just created a new backup (97% battery, over 1/2 of SD card mem free). Here's a list of the files that it created:
boot.img
misc.img
recovery.img
system.img
When I look at one of the 2 backups that will actually restore, it shows these files:
boot.img
cache.img
data.img
misc.img
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.img
Any idea why this is happening?
No one has any thoughts on this?
What recovery are you running?
I'm running 1.5.2
You might want to try and use a newer version of recovery. There is 1.6.2 and also darch has one that he OC'd.
I had this problem before when I copied my sdcard to my computer and reformatted my card to fat32 only. When I tried to restore a backup it was trying to write files to the sdcard but there was not an ext file system on it so it would abandon the process.

did you repartition your sd and it worked?
I flashed 1.6.2, and I still can't get a good backup.
The upside is I still have one that works, the downside is that it's from 6/1.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on other things to try.
when i try to back up my phone using nandroid it would get stuck when backing up "system" and i am forced to do a battery pull!
its really annoying as i really want to try out other roms without re installing apps
Thanks in advance
How long do u wait until restart the phone?
Try looking a new version of your openrecovery, I use androidiani

parads said:
This has happened to me some times. I've read in some place that it's a common error if you have more than 3 or 4 bakcups on the nandroid folder (it doesn't matter how much free space you have).
Since I keep 2 or 3 nandroid backups on SD, I haven't any problem with this.
I hope this work for you.

The same problem for me with Androidiani OR 3.3 and I have no backup on nandroid folder.
Nandroid backup stuck at "Dumping.." system or data till the battery's empty, and there no data backed up, so I have to use Titanium Backup for backing up data
Sometimes it works if you format your card and download a fresh copy of AOR. Make sure you backup your sdcard before formatting it.

I had the same problem a few days ago. just replace the current openrecovery with the FuFu one found in the dev section. And then copy the nandroid backups from the old recovery and paste them in the new one. The problem should be solved....

Here's what I do.
First, download mini partition tool for formatting the SD card (http://download.cnet.com/Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html), don't forget back up the sdcard before doing format.
after formatting complete, copy your back up to your sdcard, and then copy the fresh OR (I'm using the androidiani OR 3.3 (http://code.google.com/p/androidiani-openrecovery/download/list) to your sdcard.
Go to openrecovery and do the nandroid.
On my case the nandroid backup is success.
Hope it works on you too.
Hey could you check if the Nandroid backup is created? in my case, the process stopped at the System Backup. But when I did a battery pull and booted to recovery, I found that the Nandroid was indeed created...
Ye it did make a back up after a pull but the only thing that was missing was the system file
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
I had this problem last week. The nandroid would fail when it hit my Ext2 partition, and I'd have to do a battery pull.
I put the card in my laptop using an SD adapter and ran a chkdisk on it in windows 7. Sure enough there were errors on the card that needed repairing. After that, nandroid worked perfectly.
I've had the error as well once before, and that required a bit more work. My milestone came with a 16gb card, but I upgraded to a 32gb card...still have the 16gb in reserve 'just in case'. And it's a lucky thing I do. I deleted my music off the 32gb card to make room, and then used the previously mentioned minitool partition wizard to clone my 32gb card to the 16gb card.
nandroid worked on the 16gb card without any problems.
So i wiped the 32gb card (deleted all partitions from it) and then cloned the 16gb card back to the 32gb card...
nandroid started working again.
Since most people probably don't have spare cards like that lying around, you SHOULD be able to replicate what I did by using a regular SD card or even a USB stick.
Hope any of that helps.
Nandroid never works for me also....

Do what spyder says or unzip the rom file (tar/zip) to the last level and take those files from there...
Moreover install Better battery stats as well to make sure if this is what causing the issue.... Just a side idea... And just to be sure
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Moreover once u r replacing the files make sure to set the right permissions on them (check the permission of the files u are about to change and then replicate the same with the new ones)
Here an advice for the future: If you plan to apply a mod always copy the corresponding system files onto your internal or external sd card prior to replacing them.

Yeah its not messed up completely. I am slowly recovering my files to maintain good battery backup. Once i fixed it then i will make a backup.
I've used the rec. App and its made zero differance to my batt. You should make a backup ,b4 you add stuff like this so you can just go back

I am running ARHD 10.1 based on JB 4.2.2. and my recovery is TWRP. The issue I am having started when I updated the rom from 9 something to 10.1. It was recommended that I back up the sd and then restore it back on the phone after the rom flash. I deleted everything from the sd card and then transferred the files to make sure the the files don't get corrupt if it was merged. However, this method was a headache and some files were harder to transfer. After I got everything back to normal I noticed one thing. My old back up of nandroid are still in the sd card, but don't show up in recovery and my new back after the transfer of files to sd card do not show up in the TWRP back up file in the sd card, but I can see the new backup of nandroid in recovery. Why is that. I looked everywhere in the sd card and I can't find any other place it will save them. So where did my phone save them and where can i find it in the sd card?
its /data/media/clockworkmod/backup for cwm but im not sure about twrp

I found the new back ups in data/media/0/twrp, but I only see it in the file manager in twrp. The folder is shown empty on es explorer with the phone turned on and I do not see phone files when plugged into the computer, only sd. How can I view phone files on the computer.
You need ES set to root explorer to view the contents of /data

This is one of the reasons CWM is much better
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Yes, you need root permissions for access to /data/media...
In general, something not so with your phone (file system), the path /data/media/0/twrp and path /storage/emuleted/0/twrp are "symlink". My advise, after you will take backup, keep all applications and data and make factory reset with formatting of internal sd under JB 4.2.2.
Hi
I am thinking to swtich to TWRP and I have some past CWM backup. So I want to make sure that I can use my past backups with the new manager.

I don't think it works like that
But you can use titanium backup and backup every thing there

They are definitely NOT compatible. You cannot use your CWM backups with TWRP, unfortunately. You could, however, flash your recovery back to CWM when needed. It's not like going to TWRP is one-way, with no way back to CWM.
go twrp all the way. why would you want old backups? just create new one to be safe with twrp after you flash recovery.

Is it possible to have CWM as the recovery boot option **and** TWRP as the alternate recovery boot option? I think I could rename a few files uRecImg and uAltImg (or similar) on my nook Color, but I have yet to see something similar for the HD+.

I would like to respond, i have tried all variants of CWM available for my Xolo Q700, and TWRP i would choose only because it gives you an option to see how much space you actually need on the SD card and how much you have.
with CWM the availabel space in storage is shown but after waiting 10-15minutes for all data to be backed up, you end up getting an error message 2.5GB of free space wasnt enough. it tries to save each data file one by one and after all space is taken up, it fails
please correct me if there is an update to CWM which attends to this issue.
being a newbie to rooted phone flashing (i started playing around just about an year back and i am now in a position to root, unroot or unbrick few phones....)
other than that, i would like to choose cwm because i see more development there than TWRP...
and CTR v2.4 though it uses CWM 6.0.4 , an older version, seems to be good with full touch control and optional aroma file manager...

Each device is different and requires different amounts of space to back up the device. Also it depends on how many apps you have installed. It could be that 2.5GB was not enough for your Xolo.
Both TWRP and CWM save the data files one by one, but both also compress them into archive files for each partition. The only difference between the two is TWRP predicts how much space is needed and CWM does not. I don't think there are any plans to change that.
