Nandroid Backup cycle?

Hello
today I bought a captivate with eclair 2.1
baseband: I897UCJH7
Kernel: 2.6.29
i was going to flash cyanogen rom but I am trying to do a nandroid backup but it will not allow me to go into nandroi? I select backup rom and it goes to the recovery screen, i select reinstall and basically it resets the phone. Been trying the same thing for the past few times, thanks

Stop using rom manager. Use recovery

do you mean use nandroid through an img file?

No. He means to use CWM Recovery.

[Q] cwm recovery backup and restore_need help

hey all
my note is on ics 4.0.4 stock rom and notecore v14.1 kernel
i did a backup with cwm recovery and it was done correctly to my sd card
the question is:
if i install any other custom kernels,will the cwm recovery version change??(i think yes, am i right?)
and will that affect the restore of the backup that i made with the another version of cwm recovery if it was changed??
thx in advance

Yes, the cwm recovery version might change but it should not affect the restore of your backup.

Nope, it shouldn't. Your version of CWM won't change unless you change it. When you flash a custom ROM, it changes /system and /data to name a couple. Your recovery doesn't get touched.

thx for both of u
but if i want to change my current custom kernel which is notecore v14.1 to another custom kernel such as PhilZ-cwm6 v3.72 ,should i do extra procedures or just flash it through pc/mobile odin or cwm recovery normally without any other steps??

As note 1 has the recovery built in the kernel, any change of kernel will change the recovery to what is included in the new kernel. This will not affect your backups. You can restore your old backups with new cwm. No special procedure, use mobile odin or cwm, pc odin will give you yellow triangle, increase counter.

That's unique, I've owned a couple Samsung devices and none of them ever had the recover built into the kernel. that doesn't make sense, but I guess it works.

NANDROID ? Don't use stock recovery. Don't make nandroid backup for stock rom.

so how should i flash cwm recovery .
and which recovery is best suited for nandroid backups and comptability with all apps.
does it necessarily require me to install custom roms.

I am in same situation with a GT-S5570, it has stock rom and is rooted. I downloaded Clockwork Manager to it's SD card.
Then from stock Recovery manager I tried to install CWM from sd card. The screen got distorted and graphic looked awful.
Had to reboot and nothing got installed.
Tried Odin but it won't recognize my phone while in Downloading mode.
I want to install Cyanogenmod 10.1 Android 4.2........any ideas? I guess I need somekind of backup first, if I mess up and need to reinstall stock? Hard to do with stock recovery mode though.

To make it detect in odin you need drivers... install those by installing kies.... flash CWM from stock recovery only and not by using rom manager....

Apps can always be reinstalled in no time I think, problem is I can't install CWM from stock recovery, when selecting update from sd/zip or whatever it says, I pick the CWM file on my SD-card.
Then the graphic gets messed up and I can no longer see the menu clear.

before you flash cwm make sure its in the root directory of your sdcard... . So to say sd root is to say the topmost folder on the sdcard, which is just on the sd and not in a folder.

without getting odin recognize your Mobile you should not flash anything as if you get in any trouble it would be easy for you to flash the stock rom
and best and safest method to flash cwmr is to flash it through odin
you cannot backup stock rom with cwm recovery only custom one's can be backed up
to backup apps and data you should use titanium backup

you can flash twrp and it will replace cwm and vice versa.
i changed from twrp to cwm only by flashing it over, because twrp caues problems (backups were damaged or not recognized - never had such problems with cwm).

Ok thank you for the advise will look for twrp and see which is best for this device

but sir tyson says twrp is better?

They both work fine, but I prefer TWRP for more advanced features.
Did you by any chance rename your backup-folders with spaces in them?
That would explain why they weren't found by recovery.

İ think twpr is better when iwas at cwm it doesnt wipe good. İ have to flash orjinal rom after 3 or 4 flashing because of reboots .but after twpr there is no need to flash orginal rom.

i used both modes. I know that spaces are forbidden so i didn´t use them or rename anything.
But the fact is that two times twrp produced a corrupt backup i couldn´t reflash.
Never had such problems with cwm (but the same with cwm touch :crying

CWM 5xx | CWM 6xx

Hi,
i have some questions in cwm.
Last year i used a cwm 5 to flash some cm7.2. Last month i tried to flash cm11.
Therefor i used cwm6.
After all i want to go back, and tried to restore my backup. But this does not work. - restore aborted
Is this why i use cwm6 and make the backup with cwm5 ?
And can i easily change cwm to restore my cm7.2 backup ?
THX

Yes, it is because you made the backup using CWM 5 so you cannot restore it with CWM 6. Your only solution now is to install the stock rom back using odin through Download Mode and then install root and CWM 5. Once CWM 5 is installed back, you can restore your previous backup. Hope I Helped

I have to install stock with Odin ?
Is there no chance to reinstall cwm5 ?

Sadly, you can't install CWM 5 from CWM 6. So flashing stock is the only good option.

Mobile Odin is an AMAZING APP ...but... AFAIK with CWM 6.0.4.7 you can go back to CWM 5.0.2.6 :good: so just flash it

Yes sir it is. And yes if the app will install you can get back to cwm 5 using it. That's how I found it lol. I had problems installing it on an omni build from last month though.

BTW @alex_is_the_1 you don't need Mobile Odin to flash it, just a Terminal Emulator/ ADB
EASY GUIDE TO GO BACK FROM CWM 6.x TO CWM 5.x
1. Extract the image file from [url="dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/7/4/3/3/3/3/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip?key=6roq9AjWknQHZSzHyGtAbQ&ts=1402611881]CWM 5.0.2.6 FIXED.zip[/URL] (recovery.img) and put it in your sdcard's root directory.
2. Use the Terminal app (CM11) [optional download and install Terminal Emulator (from Play Store)]
3. Open it and type the following code (running Android 4.4.x)
Code:
su
flash_image recoveryonly /storage/sdcard0/recovery.img
It should work correctly and you'll get CWM 5.0.2.6 Fixed as recovery :good:

Thank you all for these Tips.
After this infoermation I've tried to install psx-recovery-0.3.6-touchscreen
directly via CWM 6 and this works too :highfive:
thanks
