Factory reset doesn't delete the backup, that is stored in the SDcard (or emulated SDcard?)
Edit: Anyway you can flash the "full stock" ROM found in the development section

Before flashing you should have tried to make sure the backup file was there (select restore in the menu before flashing); Maybe there's a bug in the CWM

You need use flashtool flash any firmware for SP.

just tried making a backup (on mokee 4.2.2 rom with optimus prime kernel)
and it all goes through on the screen ok. makes md5 at the end etc. says completed. but when I reboot there's nothing on the memory of the phone in the cwm folder
any ideas?

Which folder did you look into?
There are many cwm folders but the one with the backups is "/storage/sdcard1/clockworkmod/backups".
At least for me
Sent from my LG-P880
checked both, nothing in either. I've even tried both options of backup and backup to external sd.
is there a way to update it or even change it to twrp?
Sent from my AOSP 4.3 Xperia S via Tapatalk
Got the same Problem. Rom Manager Shows the Backups i made and I can restore them but nothing to see in the folders..
so restore does work? I was afraid to try because it wipes before flashing and I didn't want to lose all data
Sent from my AOSP 4.3 Xperia S via Tapatalk
Are you looking for the backups with a explorer with root permissions? If not, I think you can't see the backups because they are somehow protected to not get deleted while flashing or factory resetting.
If you want TWRP flash a recovery zip through CWM
Sent from my LG-P880
With rom Manager backup and restore works without any problems for me. The only thing is i found no backup files on phone or sd card.
I found the other backups are stored in
"mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backups" and they are all visible for me with root explorer.

You already replied to the TWRP thread so you should get it working yourself.
Flashing an .img file is not that hard through adb.

Your data shouldn't get wiped. No harm in making a backup though, just in case anything goes wrong. You'll just have to reflash twrp once you're done. Just out of curiosity, what's the software number of the update you got?

maybe the updates are older, because it was not updated from so long so, i thought to update. anyways the software no of update is 3.62.401.1.
do i need to lock bootloader too, to perform the update. and should i make backup from recovery? which backup method would u prefer... i don't want to lose anything..

just a quick word of caution, last time I flashed back a stock recovery (and accessed it, but didnt do anything in it), I was unpleasantly surprised that it wiped my entire internal storage
be safe, and backup your stuff to your PC
and no, you do not need to lock your bootloader.

All the info needed to update is here http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/10/ota/
First flash the guru reset mentioned, then the OTA•
You could use titanium backup for all your apps and manually copy all the stuff from the internal sdcard to your pc. Making a nandroid won't really help, coz then you'll be restoring an older nandroid to a phone with a newer firmware, which doesn't work well. If you're completely stock right now, you could make a nandroid, and then after updating, if you want stuff to be like before, you could restore only your data partition. Works on Viper, not sure about stock.

I would
I use Titanium Backup Pro for that (there's also a free version), both require root though. if you need a solution without root, check out Helium; i've never tried it but it should also work.
for SMS and call logs, I use "SMS Backup & Restore" and "Call Logs Backup & Restore" by Ritesh Sahu, which work better than Titanium IMHO.
Then I put everything on my PC, and I'm good to go
Okay, maybe I confused you a bit here, lets do this step by step
1. Make a nandroid of your current rom(data partition) with twrp (make sure you copy this to your pc), backup all apps with titanium backup, copy all data from internal storage
2. Flash guru reset.
3. Flash OTA.
4. Flash twrp, get root
5. Make a nandroid of the new rom (just in case), and then restore only the "Data" partition from the nandroid backup. If it works, amazing. If not, restore all apps from titanium backup. Good luck

well can i just flash stock recovery instead of flash guru reset and than flash ota update.. if i can do so why i need to download that huge(1gb) file to just ota update.. also can u give me a download link to stock recovery.
Edit: i have got the link to stock recovery: http://d-h.st/rZj
Do i have to worry about anything else.. Things i will do now:
1. make a backup of all sd-card data
2. make a titanium backup of all apps
3. use Super Backup : SMS & Contacts to backup call logs, sms and contacts
4. make a nandroid backup of system
5. Flash the stock recovery
6. do an OTA update
I thing this much will do the update right? or is there anything to worry about?

Why I'm suggesting that you download the guru reset is that it'll ensure that you're completely stock before the OTA. having a rooted rom with all of those tweaks that anyone will generally install can cause many complications, so just to keep the process straightforward, rather do it. Leave it to download overnight By "nandroid backup of system", do you mean a complete backup or only of the system partition? Because, you need to make a backup of your data partition, not system. A complete backup will also do.

Try with version 2.6.3.0 or 2.6.3.3, some of the older ones don't allow copying of backups because of some form of encryption

2- flashed stock recovery (the usual way)
3- took pictures (attached)
4- flashed back the same CWM
5- rebooted, and it hit me with the setup wizard, skipped it, and boom, NOTHING on the phone except the ROM
6- i didnt wipe anything except the "fastboot erase cache"
wonder why it happened

It's not hard at all. First, you have to backup all of your stuff on your phone (the easiest way is through recovery mode, if you already have flashed a custom recovery).
Then you have to perform a factory reset (this will delete EVERYTHING, so make sure you made a backup before this step). You also have to do this through recovery (in CWM recovery, there is an option available. In TWRP, you'll have to select wipe and there you can do a factory reset).
And finally, you can flash the zip file by selecting 'install' through recovery and selecting the zip file you want to flash.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them

Hey since you are new you must read forum rules, here you need to figure it out by yourself. Read everything from thread use google or search here and read some beginers guides ok
Doing a wipe data / factory reset in cwm i have:
Formatting /data ...
Formatting /cache ...
and nothing more, seems to be freezed.
Known bug ?? any trick ?
thanks
after a long wait (3 minutes ?): Data wipe complete
...
strange no ?
same long wait (perhaps more, 5 minutes?) after a /data restore ...
wtf ...
Yup, you need to wait above 5 minutes..
it's normal if you dont want to wait more try TWRP recovery
normal ?
what cwm is doing during all this time (and without notifying anything) ???

CWM is really slow. Try TWRP it's fast.
well, thanks!
But just to be clear: the data restore itself seems to be as quick as twrp, but when it finishes backup (last action displayed) it's "hanging" for a while.

CWM actually has a bug with 4.3 and 4.4
I face two issues one is wrong date backup creattion another is very slow backup but the best and most reliable backup is of CWM.

I used twrp on my mortorola Atrix and it was possible to extract backup content on my pc with 7zip (.win files).
So perhaps it's a newer twrp version used here and backup files are criated in a different way ?
I also faced this strange thing when restoring with twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/help/issue-restore-twrp-t2836727
So I'm now using cwm ... but it is slower.

new backup method i think,
even if you cant extract with pc it doesnt mean that it doesnt work in recovery
i personally use twrp as i dont trust cwm and this is due to me using cwm on my first android phone till now cwm always failed with something and twrp worked fine always

I found a way to manage twrp backup files on PC: with TotalComander and renaming files as .tar
This wasn't necessary with twrp on Motorola Atrix (can be open with 7zip), but the version with Xperia is different.
