I just bought my self a new 16gb sd card. I was wondering if there was a way to make cwm backup my nandroid to my external sd card as opposed to my internel one?
Thanks

if you are using the newest recovery by thecubed, then it already does...

Can I just install this over the current version of cwm Im using? Will it effect my current rom?
The new recovery from thecubed (5.5.0.4) let's you pick between internal and external(default). If you're using another recovery for some reason then just use a file explorer app to cut and paste from one location to the other.

I am using an older version of CWM. All I want to know is can I just install the new version over my old version without returning to stock or loosing current rom.

have you read the recovery thread?
does it specifically say you have to return to stock?
recovery has nothing to do with the rom, so no, you wont lose it

I did read it...it didnt say I needed to but the instructions were talking about installing it right after you unlocked the boot loader, so I was making sure I didnt have to go back and start the whole process again.
Thanks for making it clear!

I have been running a rom with a2sd and it works nice, but i want to try some others out and i don't know if i should dare to flash any rom without a2sd in case of if it screws up my phone or anything.
can someone please tell me if this is harmless or not and if backing up my rom through rom manager/clockwork recovery helps backing up my a2sd and all that?
will i be able to restore everything exactly as it was (including the a2sd) ?
Thanx!
You should backup with Rom manager or nandroid ( if I'm not wrong it saves ext partition too) , then wipe and apply the Rom you want.

Very sorry for newbie Q. I've been using Android for one month now. Though I've rooted, and install CWM, it seems that my knowledge is fragmented. For instance, I installed ROM Manager and ClockWorkMod. Both have backup/restore option. Is Nandrloid backup similar to this? Or CWM is the nandroid backup?
Coz I'm thinking about flashing the baseband and it says i need to do nandroid backup.
thanks
The backup feature in CWM is called a nandroid backup

Yup, you are right! It's the same thing.

Two more questions:
1. I read from a few threads that restore function of CWM may not necessarily working. How do we know when we do the back up that it'll work when we need to restore?
2. The CWM that i downloaded is 3.0.8. I read somewhere that the newest is 3.2 something. How can i upgrade to that? It seems that 3.2 can solve this restore failure.
thanks
If you look in the CWM 3.2.0.0 thread, you'll notice there is a zip file, in that is the recovery image and a batch file that will install it for you.

I did trust CWM with backup of my system before i tried cyanmod ROM... I have three backups on my SD card and CWM restores fine, but system wont boot. So i had to build my phone all new again.
Dont trust CWM
After rebuilding you could have have restored the data backup (not system and boot) and you'd have been OK.
but the need to still rebuild still equates to CWM backups are useless.

That's only true for the original ROM, for custom ROM it's a perfect solution, you just have to flash the ROM again after the restore.

now, i'm confused. So, it's not enough that we restore but we need to flash it again? Like in nvflash or smartflash? Then what is it that we restore?
Also, I just flashed CMW 3.2. Do i need to create a new backup since currently my back up is from CMW 3.0.8?
By flash the ROM again, I meant run the zip file with the custom ROM on from Cwm. You will then have all your data and settings back.

So, if i want to go back to stock rom, i run the zip with stock rom from CWM? thanks.
Do you really have a zip file with stock rom? I don't think so.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk
One could be made though, I suppose.
Sorry I'm confused now
CWM backups don't work? is that why I can't see them when I open CW Rom Manager? I can see them on the SD card but not in the program...
If these backups do not work, is there another way of making backups that work? I don't want to be left with a bricked phone if I try out some ROMS...
I saw a youtube video that showed how to use NVflash, but it was for the G2X and incredibly complicated, battery was taken out, and the phone was plugged in/out of the pc several times, etc... Is theres something similar for the O2X?
Cheers

Yes, it's the link below. Unless I'm mistaken. But not sure if it's compatible with my country.

I have nook ver 1.3 stock. I have also made a bootable Clockwork recovery SD card. Is there a way to use this sd card to root the device and install CM7 to the emmc?
I assume I need to root the device. New to the nook.
You don't need to root to install CM7 from a clockworkmod micro SD.

I suspected that. So the new ROM and CWM recovery will be installed to emmc? It seems like this maybe the easiest way and best way to go back and forth between roms/stock, rather than rooting it and doing it internally. Agree?
I love this device. I may pick a second one up from ebay (B&N refurbished).
CWM won't be installed, but you can install that with ROM manager once CM7 is installed.

Thanks. I assume this can also be done with CM7 variations, ie, phiremod and miui, right?
Yes but once CM7 is installed (which is rooted by default) it's much easier to just flash new roms using ROM Manager. I recommend getting the premium version if you want to install nightlies.

got you. I already have the premium RM. Thanks
one more question, booting from the sd card and the CWR on it, I format data, cache, emmc, boot and system andthen flashed phiremod rom. somehow my wifi settings and wallpaper were saved. I thought I would get a setup screen. Is it because these roms are not rooted and it's just being installed over stock?
I thought those settings were saved in /data. Hmm.
In the future, I wouldn't recommend formatting anything other than system when you flash a new ROM unless it specifically states to (which it shouldn't if it's a well written rom ).
It sounds like you didn't actually format those, which would definitely be a good thing, especially for EMMC.

Not really a helpful response.. I'm quite aware it says that, as I've already stated that in my original post. Once I have flashed the rom and other file, do I flash the boot.img file before or after restarting the phone?

Internal SD Card recognized but will not mount!
Hey,
I recently rooted my HTC Vivid (ATT) and installed CyanogenMod version 10-20131006-NIGHTLY-holiday. Everything works fine but I cant get the internal sd card to mount. There is an option in the storage setting that say "mount internal sd card." When I press that it appears as if it is mounting then it Apps, Pictures, videos, Audio(music, ringtone..... etc. Almost right after you press that it goes back to the mount sd card button. I have flashed the boot.img, used the terminal emulator and still have the same problem! I would really really (and just to drive it home) REALLY appreciate it if someone would help me with this!
If you need more info or would like to contact me to help me just email me at [email protected]
You can also just message me here if you wish.
Lemme guess... You're using CWM...
If not... I bet you factory reset from hboot

so when you boot to recovery, what does it say? Is it TWRP, CWM, WCX?
In all likelihood, you've lost the data on your internal storage. Rignfool has posted a fix for this issue countless times, and a quick forum search should come up with a topic where he outlines how to fix it. It involves mounting your phone via the recovery, and letting your windows computer fix/format the internal SD.

Its WCX. Sorry to be so naive but I looked and could not find Regnfool's post. Could you send a link to a few of them? I dont know if this helps but what I want to fix is the apps that use the sd card. Some apps that I know stored info on the sd card on my stock rom will work but are reset after I am finished using them. So bassically apps with save data half work due to this issue. Once again this is the first time I have ever rooted and installed a ROM so im a "rookie" just needing help.

Not a problem! It's an issue a lot of people (including me) have run into while doing stuff. Just count yourself lucky your charge port was working! (mine was not at the time, and was much more of a headache).
So I am about to root my htc one via instructions from QBking. My question is they say to backup your phone before rooting the HTC One. Is it the music and photos you have on the SD card because you can't make a backup until you flash a custom recovery, correct?

When you unlock with HTC Dev it does a factory reset. So anything saved to the data partition will be gone.
Plug your phone into your pc, copy and paste everything(pictures, music, videos).
