Hey guys,
I think the new CWM allows backup and restore? I used it to backup my current rom, but can anyone verify whether there are still issues when attempting to restore backups? Last thing I need is to brick my charge.
Thanks guys!
Is working

I could not get restore to work but it didn't brick my phone either. From what I've heard some people have had it work tho.
Is this the CWM from the Android Market? And, if so - Am I supposed to let CWM rewrite the Recovery Mode like I did on my Moto Droid?
Sooo hoping backup and restore is working, I know he didn't test it completely but that certainly doesn't mean it wont work :] Post in this thread if it worked for you!
I just installed cwm and did a backup before rooted. And was having issues tethering and wanted.to revert back. I went into cwm and attempted a restore. And it failed saying could not unmount /system. Then it froze. Next time i booted to cwm it booted in a basic mode with only options to reboot or apply update.zip
This is my first experience modding a Samsung phone i just upgraded from my droid 1. phone is working and plan to do more this weekend when i have more time to explore.

I am having the same issue as witmore. I can create a backup but it has issue with /system. It doesn't brick the phone but I would like to make a good backup incase things go bad one day.
Is the Market CWM working properly for backups and restores yet? I really want to try some new ROMs ...
The market app still does not work.

Bummer!
Is there any other method out there that can do a full backup / restore for a rooted Charge yet?
Try OdinMaker by P3Droid. It is 2 bucks on the market. I believe it works fine.
I cant get OdinMaker to reliably finish.
I saw somewhere on here that CWR backup works but to restore you have to reflash (Odin) your rom, kernal and recovery. Then in CWR you do an advanced restore and do /data only. I have not confirmed this works.

Try 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5
The imnuts cwm 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5 works very well. IT is is stable the only issue is lagfix ext4 does not work. However this may not be a cwm issue but rather a kernel issue. Dan
does anyone have a link for this new CWM?

I don't know if anyone has tried this but I've been running kasoinate on my mesmerize since his v0 release. If you want to try it make sure you were already on a voodoo kernal. Download kaos's kernal and Tom from the fascinate forum. Boot into cwm and wipe,than run the rom zip first than the kernal zip. Make sure you install gapps also. Reboot and you should be in froyo heaven.

This works but do it at your own risk. Im working on a mesmerize build so if you can wait a few hours I may have something up for you all that is a little safer.

Awesome I can't wait to try it. Its not that dangerous if your comfortable with cwm and you can always revert back to your mesmerize voodoo kernal and nandroid backup. And of course we have Odin. But I can't wait to try your rom..keep up the great work!!

There have been issues even with people on the fascinate getting boot-loops after messing with that ROM. It's only a soft brick, but, you must remember, there are a lot of people who would piss their pants at the sight of a frozen Samsung logo.. We don't really want to encourage flashing things labeled for another device onto a different device. If the other ROM say had a Verizon radio in it.. well, it wouldn't turn out well. In this case, that is not a problem, but that's not always the case.
If Koasinate works, what about jt's stableish froyo build he released a couple of weeks ago?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Any aosp rom for the fascinate should work, they just need to be compiled using files pulled from a mesmerize.

I have a nandroid backup but it didn't work
Boot into CWM, wipe your device, install the vodoo kernal for your mesmerize than install your nandroid back up by goint to backup and restore and hitting restore and picking the most recent nandroid backup. In my case if I wasnt able to wipe or install I would have to do a battery pull and boot into CWM once or twice. Hope that helps.

go through the whole voodoo install process again or just go into cwm and install voodoo again?
go into cwm and install vodoo again than do a nandroid restore, if you try to stay on kasocinates kernal youll get an md5 mismatch when trying to do a nandroid restore

it just freezes at samsung now
after you do the vodoo kernal install the nandroid backup in cwm, this should go through the whole process of restoring your nandroid backup and than reboot through CWM and it should get you past the samsung screen.

i have to pull the battery again to get back into recovery. is that right? thanks for your help im freakin
says mismatch
also it says cant mount no such file or directory, when I try to wipe
try pulling the battery and redoing the wipe again....if this is not working for you I suggest just resetting your phone back to stock with odin, the instructions are in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881064 dont freak out too much, your phone is still recoverable. just read everything in the link and you should be back to stock in a matter of 10 minutes. hope this helps

Last night I acctually got CWM to install and do a nandroid backup OK, but I forgot to backup the backup directory before continuing to flash the 4G_Fix then as everyone found out it wiped my External SD. I guess that's what happens when you stay up too late. I was able to Oden-Tar back a couple times but could not get the CWM to do a clean backup after that. Sure wish I had that backup file.... Oh Well...
Since this doesn't have CWM, this will not work.

I was going to flash the Honeybread theme so I went into recovery and did a backup. I flashed the theme but my bottom bar was missing (due to the fact that I did a metamorph to remove the clock from bottom bar). I booted back into recovery and did a restore to the backup I did today. It went through the whole process and when it booted up it wanted me to go through a setup. What happened?
ATM I'm doing another restore to June 29th. Hopefully that works. I'm going to be pissed because it took me a while to set all my stuff up.

Hi,
Soooo.. I flashed CM7 for the first time ever..... woo hoo. but now all my apps, and everything from the stock are gone. Is there a way to load everything from stock onto the CM7? I tried doing a restore from NVFLASH but that just brought back the stock so how do I just keep everything the same but running the CM7.
Thanks guys

Well, if you had made a nandroid before you flashed, and could restore it (not sure when you did with NVflash), you would have everything back on your last ROM (you did not specify what ROM you were on).
You could then try just wiping dalvek and cache and formatting /system and flashing the ROM over it. That works OK most of the time. as you are clearing out the System partition but retaining your date (make sure you flash gapps also).
Another option is to wipe everything, and then flash the ROM, gapps, and then date only with advanced recovery.
Depending on what ROM you are coming from, that could carryover some issues - but most of the time it works OK.
If you did not have a backup of your data, then you will have to rebuild it from scratch in any case, so you might just as well do it on a clean install of CM7.
Well I did make a backup but when I restore its not cm 7 anymore so using nv flash how can I restore all the apps and messages, etc onto the cm7?

Have you tried titanium backup? Restore your old Rom with the apps. Back them up using TI to the external sd card. Do the usual stuff to load a new rom and restore your apps using TI. That's how I do it.
Some also like google restore, but I like having a hard copy for myself.

I downloaded titanium backup but it says the device is not rooted. I have the nvflash CWM on there but I assume its still not rooted. Now that I have the NVFLASH CWM and i can boot into recovery how do I root the G2X with the latest gingerbread update?

Restore your original stock rom with all the apps. Root using the one-click-method. Install TI. Backup your apps to the sd card. Now flash your favorite rom. Install TI on the new rom. Restore your apps from the TI backup you made on your sd card.
It should work.
Although on CM7 I had a couple of issues restoring certain apps. I think it has something to do with how CM7 names different partitions.

I might have an idea but you'll have to do the research.
Boot into CWM and connect USB to your computer. You may be able to copy your /data/app folder to your computer using ADB commands, then restore them the same way. Might work, might not. Never done it that way. And this will probably only backup the apps, not the data (savegames, etc.).
As I said earlier, you can restore data only with recovery/advanced restore.

Yes, restoring /data only from the advanced restore menu in CWM may work. But I think that will restore all system data as well which may cause FC frenzy. Definitely worth a shot!

I think ill just wait until gingerbreak or superoneclick are available on the update then I'll root it, back up with titanium, and restore after i flash cm7.
btw. If I do a wipe, and then go d/l the apps i paid for again will it recognize that ive already paid for em or would i have to pay again?

All of your purchases are remembered. As long as you sign in with the same google account you bought them with you can download them again for free.
G2X CM7
Well so I took screen shots of all my screens and app drawer and just downloaded all my apps again. Then I restored the SMS from the SMS Backup and now everything is the same just running CM7. First time Ive flashed a rom woo hoo.
us my backup from the market. back up everything, then wipe, flash new rom, then download my backup from market, then restore your stuff.
OK so we know the bionics bootstrap recovery doesn't work. I was messing around with Rom manager and flashed the bionics recovery and was successful. Recovery version 5.0.2.5. Then I booted into recovery from Rom manager and performed a successful backup! Gonna hold out on flashing the backup right now but I'm hoping someone that knows a lot more then me will look into this also and see what they think about it and can we possibly use everything without fearing a bricked device .
i successfully created a backup using the bionic bootstrap recovery, but im leery of trying to do a restore without having an sbf handy
Well I got brave and clicked the restore button using the bionic bootstrap recovery. I have 20+ days left to return the phone if anything went wrong. I backed up using the recovery, then clicked restore. Everything restored perfectly. I did not choose wipe data though, as I didn't think it would matter. Just thought I would add that bit of information. Hope this helps guys.

I just used CWM 5.0.2.5 to restore the system backup I made before updating, and indeed it worked fine. I'm back down to 55.11.16 android 2.3.5 (from 55.13.16 - 2.3.6) with seemingly no ill effects. IIRC, I made this system image with the bionic bootstrap recovery app.
Im still on 55.11.16 android 2.3.5 also, I know using Rom manager to make a backup took a lot longer then what I was used to on my OG. Just went through a restore with no seemingly ill effects. Has anyone tried flashing a zip yet? Just glad we seemingly have a recovery that is working.
my vivid will be here in the next day or 2. once i have that, i will risk the Atrix2 and start working on a rom.
Oh no Pirate your switching over to the HTC Vivid? I have been looking at the reviews on that device and it looks as thick as my A2 with the defender otterbox. I'm going to kick my cat if people start abandoning ship on the A2, bummer!
Awesome work on getting CWM to backup and restore. I would love to see some custom roms being dumped onto this device.
Nice! Recovery loads up smoothly on rom manager. This could get interesting...
If your bootloader is not unlocked be very careful as to what you flash!
Try a theme or something that does not affect kernals,
Just my thoughts

Thanks for the heads up!!
I'm unable to reapply the patch up to 55.13.15
Code:
contents of partition "boot" didn't match MTD:boot:8388608:9651a551679347926bb7589bb4b57d8dea357cb4:8388608:b56beaeb976b10b86cdbd38e87024ab16fe1197f
I've supposedly restored the boot partition with cwm, oh well.
This is probably to be expected. I'm guessing I can only get the stock boot partition back with a proper fxz flash to stock...
edit: I don't think cwm is even saving a boot image. I don't see one in any of my backups.
Makes me wonder what it's doing when I restore boot

No. I built several zip files to flash and cwm nor the bionic bootstrap worked.
I think we may have to wait for the official cwm release, with our device in it.
