So please keep in mind that i'm a total noob about this kind of thing.
So my phone is already rooted, and I have clockwork recovery installed and I was trying to backup my stock ROM, but it won't back up.
So I seen over the internet that I could backup from my recovery mode, but there is no option.
Is there anything I am missing?
Can anyone tell me please?
I heard about something called ODIN, but I have no idea what it is or what to install it.

When you go in recovery there is an option to back up the rom.. are you sure you are on CWM recovery?
Anyways if you are rooted, you can install app called Rom Manager and it has the option to take backup.. take a nandroid backup through the app and you are done..
ODIN is used to flash a rom to your phone and that will wipe everything you have on your phone (except that on internal and external sd card)

I went into recovery more and there is no option to "backup and restore".
And Yeah, I have ROM manager and that's how i'm using CWM recovery. It has the i9000, but not my i9001 :/.
I don't know what a nandroid backup is... hahaha sorry.

Using ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 what option do I choose to backup my current ROM? When I go into backup and restore I have multiple choices and I am not sure which is approperate and where it says Restore All (Be careful)....I decided I better make sure what exactly I am to back up and restore?
I believe the warning to be careful is because you do not want to restore system data if you are not on the same base rom. If you are just creating a backup so you can restore settings on the particular rom you are on, then back up all. If you are looking to backup apps, use titanium

Are you in the Recovery mode or in ROM Manager? In ROM Manager I just choose to backup current ROM, then it restarts into recovery mode and does all of the work for me.
I am in recovery, not ROM manager but I guess I can do it through there too. As long as I get it backed up, thats all that really matters I guess. I want to do a backup so if I go to a new ROM I want to try I can just restore my existing one if the new one doesnt work out.
I've done that through rom manager with no problem. To me, that is the safest path. Good luck.

Hello, i rooted my phone, and it came installed with superuser, CWM and CWM tweaks. i installed rom manager and found out that it contains CWM too.
i have a screenshot here: tinypic.com/r/rh4y1f/5
What is the difference between these to and which one should i use?
Thanks in advance.
I'm not entirely sure what that App is. I imagine, when you click it, it would simply reboot your phone into recovery (CWM)—meaning they're the same thing.
Also, using ROM Manager to make backups, etc. is just like using CWM. If you make a backup in ROM Manager, it will be visible/restorable in CWM; likewise, if you make one in CWM, it will be fully usable in ROM Manager. Using ROM Manager to make a backup literally reboots your phone into recovery, makes the backup, then reboots into Android. It does the same thing, without you having to go through CWM's menus.
Alright, thanks

Not sure. Whatever app that was in his picture, which was just titled "CWM". I figured it would do as you said, though.

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....

At least, you must backup your apps. In case you unable to backup your stock rom.

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
Hey guys,
I have s3 mini. I wanted to flash 4.4 Kitkat on my phone. I needed to use TWRP recovery for that. So I removed ClockworkMod & installed TWRP.
Now,the problem is I have my stock rom(4.1.2) backed up using rom manager in ClockworkMod.
I tried installing ClockworkMod recovery using TWRP, but still TWRP recovery appears.
Is there anyway I can get ClockworkMod Back?
Plsss Help me guys!

I think you need to use the same version of cwm that you used to take the backup. Example, if you did a backup with cwm 6.0.2.7 you only can restore it with cwm 6.0.2.7 not work with 6.0.2.8, I think, got it!?!

I did the backup with 6.0.2.7. When I backup it says md5 dispatch. I have another backup saved in my computer. I copied it into the phone but no recogonized by rom manager. Is there any other way?
I meant when i restore it says md5 dispatch.
Or delete the checksum file so it will skip that

hello,
try this:
1. CWM flashes with your back up when you reboot freezes at startup because it finds the data folder or another (can not remember which) I think.
2. Then reboot into recovery again
3. flash back your backup again.
So i was installing some drivers from chainfire but when my phone was rebooting it just got stucked in the s3 mini logo,.. i can acces CWM recovery and download mode. i tried doing a factory data wipe, then cache wipe and dalvick wipe. After after all that it's still stucked.
Can someone help pls ._. ... btw i had CM 11 rom.
Sorry if other threads like this are already posted but i really don't have anytime to search all the forums.. i need my phone back D:
If u have a nandroid backup just flash it back and everything must be fixed hopefully

Yes you have to flash a stock firmware with odin but you will lose your current ROM and root access
