When creating a backup of roms in philz touch recovery v6.57.5, I get can't read selinux context-no data when it attempts to backup system and data partition, will this affect the backup or is it normal, also which is the better recovery method between, philz touch, twrp or cwm.
It's your personal preference, but I prefer twrp.

Found that also, originally was on twrp and after switching to philz touch for a bit found I preferred twrp as well.
The question could be ignored or even close the thread.

In our case, TWRP have support for internal and external SD. Touch support. I think it backed up faster, CWM around 10 min, TWRP 6-7.
Is the CWM permanent?

Both are. Just it comes embended in kernel. No other way to use permanent, because they are on the same partition (kernel and recovery) on our phone.
If i flash my original FW, will the CWM is missing?

Yes, you will have stock kernel then, and all stock in its partition includin recovery.
i dont know if twrp has the same possibilities to flash zip files. i personally prefer cwm, who cares about 3 min time to create a backup and about touch support, its a recovery and not a launcher

Yes TWRP can flash zip, even use internal(varun modifications) and external storage. Both arey quite good, but I like that touch control more

May be future Devs can make CWM with Touch support, Galaxy Mini have CWM touch recovery why not us.....
i prefer to use TWRP
since tz 4.1 support TWRP, i immediately download it
So let me get this straight! If you are on stock kernel, you cant have permanent recovery. U need to change kernal for getting permanent recovery enabled. Am I right ?

Yes.
On some phones there is possibility to install custom recovery separate from kernel, but on out phone recovery and kernel are on the same partition.

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

Hi.
I 'm running SlimSabre on n7000 with kernel Asylum_Omni_4.4.2_kernel_20131227_n7000_additional_governors .
Today I tried to backup the device with TWRP nandroid backup, but during the backup of /data the device rebooted.
I installed temporary a CWM and I was able to backup everything.
So I tried to get rid of TWRP, but if I install CWM (recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-n7000.zip) and reboot, the device bootloop. Only re-installing Asylum I get back the TWRP and the device boot.
Anyone had the problem on TWRP nandroid backup ?
Moreover opening the various zip file (CWM, Asylum) I saw that some of them are not only boot.img or recovery.img, but also /bin and /etc are present.
Is there a way to move from TWRP to CWM in a clean way keeping Asyum as kernel ?
In my knowledge moving from TWRP to CWM keeping asylum as your kernel would be impossible....
I also got this issue, if you want I can tell you but the kernel would change....

Just tell me, if you know... the backup done with CWM are ok ?
I mean, the fact that TWRP is not able to backup /data (with or without compression) does not mean that CWM backup will be invalid too, right ?
I can keep TWRP and switch on CWM from time to time only for backup. It's a boring procedure (install CWM, backup, reinstall Asylum) but not impossible.
CWM backups work with CWM only and TWRP's with TWRP only, they can't be intermixed...
And inorder to check a backup, as you are following the long/hefty method above, once install cwm and try to restore your backup throgh it, if it works, then way to go, if it doesn't then try reflashing kernel as well as recovery as well as your ROM.
If everything fails then try to shift to a CM based ROM which uses cwm, as its the best and the most reliable option.
Hope I have helped you ?

...also check and compare your cwm backup in the folder with some previous cwm backup if you have. If everything looks fine and the size of backup is considerable, depending on how much data you have of apps, then the backup should be OK. But this is only JUGAAD and not a confirmation, so do once restore.

First of all thanks for the info.
I remember that CWM (or perhaps PhilZ Touch) can restore TWRP backup (on the advanced option you can choose).
I'm only a little worried because trying to restore a nandroid backup and finding that it's corrupted actually means restore from a previous backup my data, and that's 2 month old.
I've checked the size of the file and they seems ok. They should be some simple tar, so I could try doing untar them and check if they are ok.
Anyway, thanks for the info.
I'll keep the kernel as long as I can. It 's ok and it has SmartassV2 governor that work very well.
Hi,
I have taken nandroid backup using TWRP Recovery.
I have installed paranoid android after unlocking the bootloader.

I'm on latest existence ROM with lbl
I want to know if I can backup this ROM using philz recovery and then wipe my phone so that I can flash paranoid nexus ROM and if I don't like it then is it possible just to restore the previous backup???

Yes, simply like that.
Obs. Just for sake of not getting any bugs, wipe system, data and cache before restoring the backup.
