I'm wanting to test out another rom, but for some reason I cannot back up my existing rom in cwm. I'm currently on CM7.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I choose backup existing rom, then shows the little android guy but there's the huge exclamation mark next to it. No clue what's going on. Never had this problem before.

Hold power and both buttons on the volume rocker until the phone reboots. When you see the Samsung logo, let go of power, but keep holding the rocker down. This boots you into recovery.

Just wanted to make sure I was doing it right. Well still no luck. After the back up says complete, this is the log info.
No/sdcard/.android_secure found.
Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backing up cache...
No sd - ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext
Generating md5 sum...
Backup complete.
so I reboot the phone after that, went into cwm and there's no backup from the back up list. :/

Even the internal storage is pretty much open. I have no music/videos/anything. Maybe a couple apps and that's about it.

Have you recently tried to move any files between your SD card and PC? Sometimes cards can become corrupted, or certain files at least can also become bad and not read. The more you mount and unmount the more degraded it gets. If you tried to delete any files, did you accidentally delete something from your internal SD?
Not that I'm aware of. When I get home ill try transferring a small file over. As far as the internal SD card its fine.

Nothing at all? Sigh. I really wish I could find a solution to this.
I guess ill try out Odin to put it back to stock and then root and unlock it. I just hate the fact I can't back up anything.

Yeah I switch from gb leak back to bionix frost but whenever I boot up it says my sd card is blank!

oooh i think i can answer this one!
go in to CWM and check your mounts...the sdcard needs to be mounted?
Did you use the RFS formatter?
thanks for the replies! but the mount thing wont work for i cant even go into recovery cwm! and uhm whats a rfs formatter? is it in odin?
Check drhonk's Bali 3.1 thread. In the post, there's a link to download rfs_format.zip. If logic serves me right, it'll format your phone back to rfs completely.
You just need to flash it via krylon360's CWM. Make sure you read the OP for directions though.
THANKS BRO!!! wait will it in any way like just change my phones rom?
alright, i cant place anything on my card -___- (god bless me) and uhm should i just place it in another sd card and flash it and try again?
I had this issue and I emded up having to reformat my sd card.

I am used to transferring data to my SD card by connecting the phone to my computer by USB and mounting it.
This suddenly has failed, and it looks like the problem is that there are apps running from the SD card. That is not surprising since I most my apps to SD because of the limited internal storage on this phone.
If its really an app or two thats causing the problem, how do I identify them so I can move then back to internal?
I have yet to have any space issues after deleting the fota files. Try using link2sd instead of apps2sd

I have made backups fine in the past, but I just tried again 2 times, and it gets to /data and starts going, then stops, and says there was a error backing up /data
What might cause this?
I have 8G free on the SD card

Would the battery being low cause this? I mean mine was at 65%
No this is usually caused by space issues in your sd card. Backup ur sd card to pc and reformat? Maybe that might help.

He says that he has 8gb free, reformat might do it though... other then that I have no clue. Battery would have nothing to do with this issue.

Well that didn't work either, I tried a different SD card, and getting the same thing......it gets about 3/4 of the way through /DATA and then give that error
How many apps/games do you have lol?

If your trying to do a backup from the app as oppose to booting into cwm recovery you may have freezes.

I have about 144 apps/games, and I am doing this within CWM

This worked one time for me. Try unmounting and mounting system, data etc.

Well, I went ahead and installed the new ROM anyway, and restored my apps using titanium and then I went into CWM and mounted everything, and it let me make a backup of the new ROM so, I dunno...........
I have a heard of a rom not allowing people to back up for some reason before. Maybe a google search will help you for a reason? mind sharing what rom you were on?

My phone won't boot. I tried putting my Nandroid backup on the external SD card to restore, but I can't restore it with CWM. Whenever I hit restore, it says no files found. I've tried mounting/remounting the external SD option in Mounts and Storage. Whenever I mount them through this option,, they don't show up on my PC, so I can put the files on the internal SD. It does, however, show up in Device Manager with a yellow exclamation point. Odin does not recognize the phone.
Can you get adb to recognize it? If you can then you should be able to "reboot download". Hopefully that will "soft"get you into Odin/download mode. If that doesn't work you can make or buy a USB jig that will boot you into download.

I get a device not found error. Why am I unable to flash anything from an external SD card through CWM? Shouldn't this be a standard option?
Ouch. That sucks. Did you try mounting it in advanced menu? You might want to head over to the irc channel. There are a few of us in there. We may be able to help you out.

Currently on a TW rom, Jelly Beans 19. A couple months back I had flashed an aosp rom and of course got the "0" folder. After switching back to TW, the folder remained. I flashed the restore SD zip by itself, along with fresh rom install, and it didn't fix it. I also formatted internal storage as well as SD card. For a couple days it was fine and then behold, that stupid folder is there again. Only bad part is, anything I download I have to merge into that folder so recovery will recognize it. I've done the formatting/ wiping several times. Any thoughts?

With a file manager go in to each folder of the zero move it out and when it says it's a duplicate there should be am option to merge the file storage and once you are done formatting again

I personally did it this way on the advice of the developer of synergy and worked flawless
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
the 0 folder is an emulated partition of the internal storage on your phone. i have one too. everyone does.
if you go into es file explorer, and go to the root of you phone, and then hit storage, you will see 3 options, "emulated", "sdcard1" and "0"
the "0" is a fake sd card. the internal storage is partitioned, in case something goes wrong you wont lose all your data.
i found this out the hard way lol forgot to back up and data wipe before flashing a rom once when i was half asleep, and you would think its all gone but no it was still all there. games, apps, contacts, the whole 9.
