When I rooted my Xoom and backed it up through CWM I did not realize/forgot that the backup was not on my actual SD card and was on my internal storage so obviously when I installed the new Tiamat 2.0 ROM I lost my original backup. I was hoping someone had a copy or a zip or something that I could just install through CWM and then make my own backup again. My Xoom originally was running US 3G Verizon 3.1 HMJ37. Does anyone know where a copy is to a link with just one file for me to install like the Tiamat 2.0 ROM. I am hoping this is something easy to solve without having to unroot my Xoom make a backup and then root again. Can anyone help???

I would recommend just grabbing the stock images from my sticky. Link is in my sig. Fastboot flash them, then make a backup.

Hello all,
Coming from a Thunderbolt I was very comfortable with ClockworkMod Recovery, I backed up and flashed often through recovery.
On this VZW S3 upon rooting and installing CWMR standard version 5.8.something my backups were only going to the internal SD card and the dates were never right, always saying 1970. The file size seemed about right (1.5 gb) and there were the normal dozen of so in the backup directory.
Out of desire to backup to my external I card I tried the new EZ Recovery app which installed CWMR 6.0.1.0 I believe, the non touch version. This version would backup to the external SD card, but still had the wrong date name for the backup folder. When I browsed that folder it was only 30mb but there was another folder called blobs that was about 1.5 to 2gb.
Is this how version 6 works? I don't have much confidence that this is a good nandroid backup and that I could restore off of it.
Looking for confirmation that this is how it is to work with version 6 and/or any tips or alternatives you can offer. I want to be able to backup and restore off of my external SD card.
Thanks in advance!

That is indeed how version 6 works. As for the dats, those are sadly messed up in general I haven't seen a fix for that, but i also haven't searched for one because i know which ones are my latest and don't keep many of them anyways. As for it not backing up on 5.8 its because you have to have your SD formatted as FAT32 and exFAT (again not sure if 6.0.1.0 changes that because i formatted mine) But i did successfully backup and restore on version 6 and it worked perfectly.

Thanks Never,
I wiped the card when I first had issues backing up on 5.8. Formatted it with the phone but it still wouldn't give me the backup options. How can you check the formatting?
Wonder how multiple backups work in version 6, does it dump it together in the blobs? Or is is some more intelligent non duplication way of storing multiple backups?
Thanks again!

I formatted mine on the computer just to make sure it worked. So no idea how to check it from the phone sorry.
As for multiple backups, i've got a few backups and it always restores fine, so im assuming its got a way of knowing what goes with what.
And your welcome
Are you trying too back up through rom manager? I've given up on that. I do not have an external card, am rooted, using the latest non touch cwr. I usually boot into recovery manually or through rom manager and backup from there. Have the same issues with dates and large size. But happy to report that I go back and forth between cm10, stock, and synergy rom regularly with no problems. Also remember kexec boots 3 times, it's not a bootloop.

I boot into recovery and backup there, if I do it through Rom Manager I get no choice to backup to external SD at all, but I can in version 6 thru recovery.
Glad to hear it works OK.
What flavor of CM10 are you running and can you give me a link to the one you are using? Does Google Now with the cool voice search work well on CM10? Been dragging my feet! Might be ready to take the plunge.
I can't stand the Touchwiz crappy so cm10 was the only choice for me. Apparently the sms/mms not working but it does not effect me since I use Google voice. Very smooth. Google DROID hive forum and look for it there. It's by dhacker.
Google now working great.

Cool, I'll keep watching the development, sms bugs are a deal breaker for me and I have a tab open watching the Droid Hive forum already!

I was wondering if there is somewhere or someone here in the forums that can clarify how these new back-up files work. I like to back-up my back-ups on drop-box, but now that it is creating all these files do I need to move all of these created files together or just the file with the date and time stamp? I want to flash a new rom but want to make sure my current is backed up correctly on my dropbox before doing so.
Any direction is appreciated Thanks
Phone formats to sd card to extFat. Fat32 must be done on PC. No recovery supports extFat. Kexec no longer supported by anyone once bootloader was unlocked. Haven't used Clockwork since TBolt days so don't know how Blob files affect Dropbox backup.
There is an option in CWM to turn off the blobs. I prefer to have backups that are stand-alone, so I personally turn this off.
In CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2:
backup and restore > choose backup format > tar
The two options are "dup (default)" and "tar". The "dup" option gives you the blobs folder. The idea is that it saves space when you have multiple backups. The "tar" option seems to work just like you are used to - one folder per backup.
Where does the sms folder goes?? I forgot to back up my sms using smsbackup and restore but then i was able to make a backup on cwm i like to restore my back up but when i hit restore it says md5 mismatch.. but since i was able to make a backup on cwm where i can find the right folder for sms.. cause i would like to copy it on my current rom folder so i can restore it

Hello everyone,
because of some reason (I am not sure why, maybe I was doing an update by pushing "ok" somewhere) my GT2 doesn't boot anymore. There comes the Boot Screen with the Melody and then it writes "SAMSUNG" and then...REBOOT. This loops again and again.
The most important thing for me is now, to recover my Pictures I have saved on the device. They are on the internal flash (not SD Card) so I cannot take it out and plug it into my PC. So I have no idea how the get my data.
Because of the importance of the pictures (I really don't care about warranty now, there are so many Pictures of my son on it) I just installed ClockWorkMod Recovery (6.0.1.2) with hope to get data. However, I have no idea what to do now. There is a backup menu when I open it, but is this what I am looking for? Is there any way to access my images???
Thanks!!!
Regards

If its just your images just do a backup and flash a new rom using recovery. Internal sd card will not be erased by doing that. Just do not format internal and all is well. And when you get the new rom up you can use titanium backup pro to restore your apps from nandroid.

In CWM mount usb storage and plug into a computer.

Hi,
first: Thank you very very much for your help!!
I will try this when I am back at home. I have CWM on my Device but it is not rooted. Is this enough to install a new Samsung Firmware (e.g. from SamMobile) or do I need to root the device?
@shakatu: Can I access the internal flash storage this way? That would be fantastic. I will try this immediately when I can!
Thanks!

Hi all

when i run Rom Manager is to backup my ROM it goes all the way to the end but does not save a backup in the backup dir it say it cannot find the sd card or the ext-sdcard even though there is a at least 2gig free space.
What must i do to correct this fault?

What i have learned is that in JB 4.2. CWM put these backups in a safe place on the SD card (cannot find the with a file explorer) but when i use CWM to ro restore my image it does it 100%
Don't know how to backup to ext SD.
thanks

You can change the settings in the cwm app to save them to a different location. However it only works if you initiate the backup from the app, not if you do it from recovery.
