Hi,
very unpleasent supprise today... By fortune I've formated my sdcard where I had all my apps and system settings backups (Titanium Backup).
Few weeks ago I made system copy via CWM and I copied to my PC. Today I wanted restore this copy (1,5GB) but CWM shows mismatch...
To avoid mismatch I flashed the same kernel, the same ROM and what the hell is wrong? Earlier I flashed MOD's, ROM's and restore worked.
I'm desperate. I will pray for rest of my life for user who can help me :angel::angel::angel::angel::angel:

Free space I have much more but what unwanted items you mean? System apps?
In fact my backup copy is completely debloated. I removed almost 50 apps from stock system.
Hi
I am thinking to swtich to TWRP and I have some past CWM backup. So I want to make sure that I can use my past backups with the new manager.
thanks
I don't think it works like that
But you can use titanium backup and backup every thing there

They are definitely NOT compatible. You cannot use your CWM backups with TWRP, unfortunately. You could, however, flash your recovery back to CWM when needed. It's not like going to TWRP is one-way, with no way back to CWM.
go twrp all the way. why would you want old backups? just create new one to be safe with twrp after you flash recovery.

Nope...each are only compatible with its files. Why are you moving to TWRP...just curious?
Kinda related ...
Is it possible to have CWM as the recovery boot option **and** TWRP as the alternate recovery boot option? I think I could rename a few files uRecImg and uAltImg (or similar) on my nook Color, but I have yet to see something similar for the HD+.
Thanks in advance!

No, it does not work that way on the HD/HD+. You must choose one or the other.

Reason for Choosing TWRP

I would like to respond, i have tried all variants of CWM available for my Xolo Q700, and TWRP i would choose only because it gives you an option to see how much space you actually need on the SD card and how much you have.
with CWM the availabel space in storage is shown but after waiting 10-15minutes for all data to be backed up, you end up getting an error message 2.5GB of free space wasnt enough. it tries to save each data file one by one and after all space is taken up, it fails
please correct me if there is an update to CWM which attends to this issue.
being a newbie to rooted phone flashing (i started playing around just about an year back and i am now in a position to root, unroot or unbrick few phones....)
other than that, i would like to choose cwm because i see more development there than TWRP...
and CTR v2.4 though it uses CWM 6.0.4 , an older version, seems to be good with full touch control and optional aroma file manager...

Each device is different and requires different amounts of space to back up the device. Also it depends on how many apps you have installed. It could be that 2.5GB was not enough for your Xolo.
Both TWRP and CWM save the data files one by one, but both also compress them into archive files for each partition. The only difference between the two is TWRP predicts how much space is needed and CWM does not. I don't think there are any plans to change that.

First of al I'm not talking about our device but my friends S4 Mini LTE!
But the S4 mini community is not that active, really..
So I was going to flash Liquid Smooth for him (he was running stock rom, no root), so made backup for safety but the backup took 3gb space and that was all he had left.
I used this one (CWM) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
I stopt after step 6, only wanted CWM recovery because Liquid Smooth would give root automaticly.. I did everything right!
- CWM worked properly
- Made backup (didn't know it would be 3gb)
- Rebooted, phone says not enough memory
- Can't find the backup. Really NOWHERE, trust me.
- CWM was not installed anymore when I again booted in recovery.
So the problem is that cwm is not installed anymore? If I flash md5. again with odin to get cwm will I find the nandroid backup?
I really need to solve this, it's my friends phone soo..
I made backup for safety, but now the backup is the problem because it's so big and can't be found.
Thanks
Again I know this is not s4 mini section but it's pretty dead over there, or our device section is extremely alive

Probably nowhere, maybe it deleted files after there was not enough space. CWM make folder in root of exnternal/internal memory called clockworkmod. If it is not present, then there is no backup.

And backup was succesfully completed.

Is there other way than searching file, for example doing such thing it will be removed but he still has his photo's/music.

Try it on PC. And put hidden files to be shown. I have no idea where it could be. Maybe it is in different place on S4 mini.
Or make backup of stuff he uses, format and put them back on the phone.

Not system, backup is not there. Format sd card, the one you said it is full - and it has no apps it has data (music, pictures etc...). System has nothing to do with CWM nandroid backup.

It will remain in phone, it will not self destroy. If that is what you ask.
It is first occurred after installing recoveries from this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649923
I was new that time so take out backup of system from ROM manager app, it started backup into internal memory, after a which it ran out of space so i rebooted in system.
XSP prompt low internal space message so i decide to delete backup file. succeed to delete from Rom Toolbox root browser.
n from now on this problem started.
i tried deleting .odex files from /data/app nothing happened.
some one suggested to delete .odex files from /system/app, i started deleting butt it turns into soft brick (bootloop).
so i flashed XSP with stock ROM 4.3 India with the help of this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658952
i lost all my data n all but i was happy to see that problem is gone.
then i started rein-staling all apps + root app like super SU, Rom toolbox, titanium backup, luckypatcher (same as before).
then i realize xsp is not rooted so I rooted again with Towelroot n installed recoveries.
everything goes fine for some day n problem occurred again. :crying:
then i find a trick to wipe cache/ dalvik cache, i tried it without taking out backup.last all data again but problem is gone again.
i stared reinstalling apps again.everything goes fine for few days.
n then problem started again. i take out backup first (TWRP) then start wiping cache n all.
then i start recovering that backup,
But This Time Problem won't gone keep showing OUT OF SPACE message again n again, also unable to install app from play store.
i dont want to flash it again coz problem will come again.
sorry for bad English.
please help me guys..
please reply n help me.

You should start all over again and use an external mini SD for your backups and media files.
Backup to external SD card from recovery rather than backing up to your internal memory.
Backup files are known to be large files.

No, just wipe everything on your internal SD card.
Wipe /cache, /data... etc.
Format /system
And then start over again like you've just bought your phone.
You must have a load of bloatware since I cannot image an internal SD card being full with only installing a few apps.

n should i restore backup from TWRP, asking because i noticed that if i restore it, problem wont go.
If you restore a nandroid backup from recovery it will not solve your problem!
There are always folders with files in them that remain on your internal memory.
Restart all over (format) and when you're installing big apps like games or so, move them to your external SD card.
If not, you will be confronted with the same problem over and over again.
Simple logic if you ask me...

You possibly have one or more nandroid backups in your internal memory.
Check folder clockworkmod\backup.
There might be some folders in there. Delete any backups (complete folder) which aren't needed.
To avoid running out of memory again, backup to external SD card from now on.

Don't make a nandroid backup. Just make backup of apk's then make a backup of contacts manually in vcf format and all other things you need. Then partition your SD card and then use App2SD and make your internal memory grow more in space don't follow anyone's else crap suggestions.

And as far as it is about making a nandroid backup then keep in mind that Nandroid Backup makes backup of compelete device as it is in what so ever state it is.

Well after you're done downloading that extract it first but you should have a program on the computer to extract with... I use winrar because it's easy and does everything... After you extract it you need to get it onto your SD card but make sure it's in the root of the SD and not inside of any folder and then go in TWRP and wipe system dalvic, cache and data and then go back and restore/install the stock rom you're downloading now.

I figured it wasn't gonna show the rar file so do this one.
The next thing you should try is this... Use your computer to navigate inside of your sd card and look for this and click TWRP and then click Backups then you should see a folder similar to this FA48XSR09828 (but not the same as mine) click into that one and then take the entire extracted folder this one "cricketstock2014-12-22" and copy it in there and yes it needs to be in this folder so you need to somehow get it in there..

After you get that entire folder into your TWRP backup folder go back to wipe and wipe the thing's I mentioned and then go back again and this time click restore and you should see the cricketstock2014-12-22 folder tap to install that.

Alright do this then... Put your SD card back in the phone, boot into TWRP and then click backup and then make sure it's NOT set to try backing up to your internal storage make sure it says SD or ext_sd and then backup the broken system you have because this will then create that backup folder you need on your SD card that you can't find since you never made a backup up before after it creates the folders go ahead and copy the cricket folder in there then go back to the main screen and tap restore and then you should see the folder you copied in there as long as TWRP is set to external storage if it says internal again then change it back.

just make a backup the normal way. Just go into TWRP and tap backup and go from there until it's done backing up the messed up system. You only need to do this so we can get the stock recovery into the backup folder that you can't find.
