[Q] Converting CWM backup to flash zip ?? - Motorola Atrix 2

Hi everyone! I aware that maybe this is a stupid question, but i have to ask...Is there a way to convert a CWM backup to a flash zip to use with the CWM install zip option??? I'm asking this because I have a particular problem and is that I can't do backups or restore with my CWM so i can't install almost any custom rom that is in the developers forum.
I don't know why i have this problem, even I posted a thread asking for help about this, but I guess I'm the only one experiencing this issue and the only rom I successfully installed is the Victory Rom and is a flashing zip.
By the way I installed the CWM with the Atrix Bootstrap and I applied the patch RAZR-CWMOnBoot-Global-J.Y.Daddy.zip to have the CWM on every boot and I don't experience any GPS issue (I guess i don't know exactly what is the issue) and for the record when I'm trying to do a CWM backup i get the "check sum error" when the CWM tried to finish the backup process, and when i'm attemping to restore a backup the CWM starts without problem but then I get the "Error while restoring /system".
I hope you can helpme with this problem.
Thank's in advanced.

after you apply the atrix bootstrap use rom manager and install the recovery for the droid bionic and you will be able to back up and restore roms. advance restore also works incase you do a wipe, install a rom, and then want your data restored.

You could convert it... but you would have to write an updater-script, and get an updater-binary (you can basically steal it from any flashable zip.)

Should I remove the patch for CWM on every boot? Or i just download the recovery with rom manager ?

Well I tried this with no success , I installed the recovery for the droid bionic and then I reboot into recovery with rom manager and make a cwm backup, the result was an error when generating the md5Sum and my battery went from 60% to 3%, that kinda surprise me it's the second time that happens, the first time was when i was updating from stock 2.3.5 to 2.3.6.
Worth the shot i guess but until i can fix this i guess i'm screwed :'( .

That is an interesting point because everything I've done, the rooted, the atrix bootstrap recovery and the CWM on boot patch has been with version stock rom 2.3.6 I never tried do it with the 2.3.5 so i guess i'll be downgrading tonigth to stock 2.3.5.
thank's, when i'm done i will inform of my result.
cheers.

It works!!!! it was the stock 2.3.6 update that was stopping me from backup or restore in CWM maybe it changes something in the bootloader that screw the CWM, but now i'm testing the Lithium rom 1.2 . Thank you all for your help and tips.

Sorry for bringing this up again but I need the answer to the
original question on converting a CWM backup to flashable zip...
my question:
My CWM Backup consistes of 7 files:
boot.img
recovery.img
system.yaffs2.img
data.yaffs2.img
cache.yaffs2.img
nandroid.md5
.android_secure.vfat.tar
my guess is that the first two go directly into the update.zip
then What about the other three yaffs2 files and the .android_secure.vfat.tar file
how are they extracted/combined into the zip file??
ps.about the updater-script and updater-binary, can I take them both from any flashable zip?

Its possible, I have done it, and the only foders you need are system and data...
It will be a pain, tho, your gonna wanna do it through Linux, updater script needs to have the right commands in it to do this, so its def not a drag and drop process, even tho some of it is..

I had experience this yesterday when restore using PhilZ v3.81 recovery in my Note 2.. Basically the folder name is critical.. It must remain same as per when the backup folder is created. Else u will got md5 checksum error, if bypass md5 check, than error in /system recovery part. After renam the backup folder to the orig name, the restore is running smooth...

all you need to do is use unyaffs on the system.img and optionally data.img and if will unarchive them, then back it into a zip with the boot.img and build the updater-script!

No .androidsecure?

Ok so i backed up my tf using cwm and everything worked perfectly. When i try restoring the back up it first restores the system apps but then there is an error saying the is no .androidsecure file. And my tf wont boot up after. I then have to flash an old tf version for it start working again.
If anyone has a solution that would be great

It might not have anything to do with the 'error' which is maybe not an error, just an informational message from the "Froyo" days. This is all guesswork, but I seem to recall that .android_secure was for apps that were movable and moved to the sdcard. That just doesn't really make sense on the TF101 using Honeycomb, so if you don't have that folder (.android_secure), that that's cool.
Does the restore complete entirely aside from the message about .and* ?
Another thing I wonder about with cwm restores is the kernel. Did you have a working kernel in your tf101 before you got started with this restore? I'm not really seeing how it restores the kernel (boot.img/zImage/whatever) in this version of cwm. All I see saved is system.img, the md5sum, data.img and cache.img. My guess is that you might benefit by picking a kernel, like either the latest stock one or say, Prime's kernel, and burning that in afterward, clearing dalvik and rebooting again.
Note: It might be that everything needed is somehow in system.img and that cwm has the smarts to burn what it needs to the right places, but in every other version of cwm I've seen, there is a boot.img file in the cwm backup that contains the kernel.
If anyone knows how cwm is burning a blob for the kernel, I'd be curious to know how since I'm not looking at the code. Thanks.
Good luck
the restore doesnt completely restore.
It goes something like this....
System apps restore
I think another restore
Then the error
Restore cache
And then its done. It boots me up to an Asus image and wont go past.
These are the files in my cwm restore
Cache.img
Data.img
Nandroid.md5
System.img
Also i have stock kernel

So it sounds like the restore is completing with the message about the secure folder then dropping dead during the kernel load. If I understand you right, it sounds like you "had" a stock kernel when it was working, but I wonder if you've got any viable kernel right now?
Since your tf101 isn't working and is basically useless, you could try to boot back to cwm and burn some known working current kernel in there. I don't have the links right now to the stock one, but you could try a nearly stock one from the Prime ROM http://roach.qap.la/Roms/Prime_v2.0/OCKernel_Prime_v2.0.6.zip .
I don't know what his zip file looks like but at least it'll force the issue of burning a blob into the boot partition and you can tell if the kernel was the problem.
If that doesn't work, then your backup was possibly corrupted and I don't have a good answer other than to install either a stock image or one of the ROMs people use like Prime or Revolution and see how they do.
I'm also guessing that blowing a new image on there is a last resort because you had stuff setup the way you wanted it, but it's for you to decide that. You could search the forums for something that does some sort of integrity check on the cwm backups, or better yet, get in touch with Solarnz or Daoist via messages and ask their advice. They're experts here in cwm and I'm not.

I flashed another kernel but I still get the error when trying to restore. I've been searching around and I guess I'm missing the .android_secure file in the data.img. I just dont know how to fix it.
Btw my tf is usable and all I am just not able to restore all my apps and such. So its basically like new..

I dont know if that would work because, i think, the error is in the data.img.
I could try that though, how would i change it to a cwm zip?
Google "extract data.img android" and "make cwm zip" or search here.

I found this app called app extractor and it can extract apps from old nandroid backups. It works when trying to restore the system apps but when i try to restore user apps it is unable to. If been searching around on how to extract the data.img and what ive found is that i need to use something call unyaffs. If you can point me in a way of a great tutorial that would be great because i can not find one...

[Q] CWM Backup issue-how to solve this problem?

Hi,
I'm very happy to be ble to do some changes in my own phone Thanks to you of corse.
I made a root.I had no problem doing it.
I used the Odin and S2 root for it.
After that,I've made the CWM backup.All went nice and without issue. I've also saved the backup on my PC.
Thene I've installed also the Titanium backup.But I just left it like that for the moment.I didn't make any backup with it.
I wanted to get read of the triangle at the boot moment.
To get read of the triangle we need to flash the original kernel (in my case it's KI4).
I did it. Once again all went well.I don't have anymore the triangle.I still have the root (I have Superuser and CWM).
And now the best part.I suppose that it's my fault that it's not working now.
The problem is that before the flash of the original kernel (not to have anymore the triangle) I erased the backup I made before from CWM.
Just don't ask me why.I don't realy know
Now I wont to make the backup by CWM, the phone reboots,I get the window "Android system recovery" and it doesn't make the backup. It gives me the info:
reboot the system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

I even puted back the backup that I've saved into the PC.Then I tried to start one more time a new backup from the CWM,but I get the same screen.
Can anybody help me on this.
Is there some trick to solve the issue?
Maybe I don't know what to do and the answer is simple?
The phone is working fine.
But I would like to be able to make that backup with CWM.
I suppose that it was a mistake to erase the backup
I wait for any feedback.

Something got messed up along the way and you're not booting into CWM anymore. If the phone is still booting normally just go back to ROM Manager and flash CWM again. Boot into recovery and make a nice backup. Don't delete it this time, lol.

You don't have CWM recovery flashed....that is your stock recovery. Boot normally and them flash it from Rom Manager. Once is finished, go to Manage Restore / Backups and try to restore your backup. That should be working. The issue is that when you change your kernel you might have wiped some data...

Sorry for the question,I'm a noob : It means that I will have an option in RM to flash CWM?

The CWM I've got it with the CF-Root.
"Boot into recovery" - I'm doing it from CWM or how exactly?

If I understood well your point in that case I can make the "Boot into recovery" from CWM,Am I wright?

As I've wrote before I'm a noob girl if we are talking here about all those changes and flashing.
But trust me,I'm trying to do my best
The same question as for the first post.
After that I will reboot one more time my phone,I have to go to RM and I have to flash it (you meen flash the CWM)?
But how do I do it exactly? I don't have any idea
"Once is finished, go to Manage Restore / Backups" - I'm doing it in CWM or RM
And if I'm doing it with RM it will restore the backup I made previously with the CWM?
After doing what you've said I will be aslo able to use the CWM and go to ClockworkMod Recovery from the position of CWM?
Do I leave the backup which I previously dleted and got it back from my PC and put it into: /mnt/sdcard/cklokworkmod/buckup?
For your info,when I go to CWM,Restore (Restore an existing backup) I see the backup name:
2012-01-26.02.25.55
0 days,10 hours ago,656.1MB
What a shame with all thos noob questions,but only you can help me
Just don't kill me for the spam.
Next time I will try to do it in a good way.I'm talking here about the way I'm posting
Edit: Ok,I was searching and now I know that we have the option in RM : "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" lol
Is there any way to do it without using RM? I was reading that some of people had issue with it and I'm scared.
Anyway can you please just tell me and answer on my noob questions,so I could be sure that I won't make things worse...
I would be grateful.
So I couldn't wait and I got the RM from the Market (version v4.8.1.4).
I've flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery with it (now I have the version 4.0.1.5).
I don't know if it's the good way but my phone wasn't connected to internet. Then RM asked for it,so I turned on the WIFI.RM connected I suppose with internet and installed or flashed me a polish RM version.
Then I went to Manage Restore/Backup (in RM).
I've selected the backup that I had (anyway it was just one which I've copied previously from my PC).
The phone rebooted...
And I got this msg :
reboot the system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
-- Installing package...
Pinding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Instalation aborted.
It means that I cannot still boot into recovery...?
I suppose.
When I try to "Reboot into Recovery" from RM it's still the same msg.
When I do it from CWM,same msg.
More info so it could help you to help me
When I go to SU and I go on CWM I see this in 4 position:
- system/bin/sh
Maybe this bin file has something to do with it?
When I go to CWM in the field kernel I see : Current kernel:Unknown
The CWM from thhe CF-Root has the version V2.0
The CWM in the RM is as I wrote before the version : 4.0.1.5
I don't know if it's normal.
Phone is still working fine,no issue.
What to do in that case?
Please help.
I'm waiting for any reply.and at the same time I'm searching on the forum.
Maybe I can just go to ODIN and one more time make the root?
ODIN + flash the CF-root in PDA and then use S2 root.
Or maybe the issue will solve just flashing the CF-root file in ODIN.
Please,just tell me if I'm right?
I'm scared that I will do it in fiew minutes,because I cannot sit like this second day and I don't won't to make it worste...

Ok, so let's go easy and gentle....if you have Rom Manager installed, then enter RM and the first thing you will see is the option Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery, if you have flashed it before you will two lines behing the title saying Last Recovery Version: xx.x.x and your version....if not you won´t be able to operate anything from there until you install (flash CWM recovery).
Once you are sure that the recovery is installed, then go to Rom Manager and manage Restore and Backups. As I see, you already have a backup, so you can do a new one or restore the existing one just from the Rom Manager...select the folder with the date and time and let the cell work. When is finished, you will be like before....
Don´t root your phone again....you are already rooted. It will only jam you up....

As I see, you already have a backup, so you can do a new one or restore the existing one just from the Rom Manager...select the folder with the date and time and let the cell work. When is finished, you will be like before....
Don´t root your phone again....you are already rooted. It will only jam you up....

Thank you for a quick answer.
I'm entering to RM
I see first off all : Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
Uder I see just one line : Curent Recovery : ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5
What I did I ckliked one more time on flash ClockworkMod...
I ckliked on my phoen name SGS2 (strange the system shows 2 times the SGS2,I took the first one)
Now I see under Flash ClockworkMod Recovery:
Curent Recovery : ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5
New Recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5
When I closed the RM and I get back in, I see under Flash ClockworkMod Recovery just one line : Curent Recovery : ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5
and no any second line.
I would click it one more time just to be sure. Once that is done make sure you do the backup as you did previously. As far as your install not working it means that the backup you did didn't work fully, as far as I know.
If you're flashing a ROM make sure it is for your exact phone. Otherwise it won't work or will be extremely buggy.

When I try to flash the CWM in RM all the time same issue.All the time one line.All the time cannot get into recovery (not from CWM or RM position or even by key).
All CF-Root,kernel files that I have are the correct for my phone.
As I said,the problem came out after that I made a flash back of the original kernel to get read of the traingle at the boot.
xda says that when we flash with an original kernel,then we loose the CWM.
I suppose that was the case.
Now I just need the solution for it.
Maybe I just have to flash my phone with the CF-Root?
Your phone is rooted, right?

It may be a stupid question, but the backup is in the right folder? Sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/*The folder with the backup files here*

I'm asking stupid questions
the backup file is in : sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-26.02.25.55
The strange thing is that befor I didn't have this,now I see something even more in:
sdcard/clockworkmod :
I have my firts backup:
sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-26.02.25.55
and I see also this:
download/2110140492 and 140189054
recovery update/ect,META-INF,res.sbin
recovery eckpoint
.salted_hash
.settings
Maybe it came up when I was treing to make restore of backup...

Yes, it is.
I have SU and the CWM which is not working
I have also installed the Titanium backup.
SO I have the root.
Ok, one last try then. Click flash clockworkmod recovery and once it says done, before exiting it, click reboot recovery. You can also make a backup through there if you feel like you'd need to. If it goes into CWM then you should be good.
So long as it says "current recovery: x.x.x.x.x." whatever version you have, it should be flashed and you should be fine.

CWM problem on Stock ROM + other problems

I have a question about CWM. I installed it on my stock rom and now it says unable to mount /system. will i be able to flash other custom roms? and if i can how to make a backup of current rom?
p.s. i made a backup of all my apps via Titanium Backup Pro, and if i install it on new rom will it be able to restore those apps there? and does flashing a kernel and rom changes my baseband version?
choose the backup option from cwm menu.

And do you know an answer for other questions?
no you need to re-install all apps from the android market.
after re-installation, you can restore your saved data like high scores/achievements and all.
Do press the Thanks button if i helped you
The cwm doesnt work for stock roms because tj style has clearly mentioned that the recovery wont work custom or stock rom using rfs file systems.....you cant do backup using cwm..you can only backup boot and recovery image...to backup apps use appmonster pro......the apps will be backed up in your sd then after flashing your new rom you can install them from sd....you can flash custom roms...
any other doubts post it here
please press thanks if i have helped you

That happen to me..ill guide you to what i did.. i think you miss out on restartiong phone before flashing cwm..just flash your phone again with original stock.. let it boot and restar..then add the root zip and restar in recovery..update it and let it boot normally.. restar again and flash cwm with odin.. and let it boot..

no, because stock rom has rfs file system, so cwm cant make a backup of stock systems, but after you flash the custom rom you can create a backup of any custom rom that supports ext4 file system... and if you want to make a backup of your installed apps use titanium backup, it worked best for me, and you can use it on any rom...
whatever appmonster can do, titanium can do as well...
why have two apps, when one does the entire job (and even more)??
also, backups made by titanium (apk as well as data) are compressed...so you get a little more space on your card...

Install Custom Rom!

Just a quick question to double check.. I rooted my atrix 2 and installed CWM and took backup of my phone thru it. So two questions:
1.} Now to install custom rom, what should i do? directly now download and install thru cwm or need to flash any other thing?
2.} I accedently changed my stock battery icon thru rom toolbox pro and when i restore my stock rom thru cwm it says md5 check failed.. What should i do?
To install a Custom Rom only need access to CWM Recovery, and follow the installation steps of the Rom you choose, as there are two forms, one is restored and the other is flashing, so you should read the instructions.
thanks buddy!
I did not use rsd or did not flash fast bootfiles, are these necessary for installing custom rom? I guess not i am trying custom roms now..
And what abt the second question?

No rsd and fastboot files are for flashing back to stock in the case of u messing up your phone (soft brick or bootloop)

for restoring. do a few things. first, make a backup right now and try to restore it right away. If that works, something went wrong with your old one. you can open up the nandroid.md5 file within the backup folder and delete everything, that will make it restore, but it could cause some issues if it really was broken. Or it could not even boot, but that is what the fxz is for.
If it also fails, most likely there is something wrong with your sdcard. that happened to me. try formatting it WITH THE PHONE (backup anything that you need to since it will be wiped). if it fails both times the backups are most likely fine, so just delete everything in the nandroid.md5 file and do it. Keep in mind it may still have issues so be familiar with the stock restoring process just in case.
As always, i don't take responsibility for anything that happens.

CWM restore - MD5 mismatch (XBSA ICS 5.2)

Hi everybody!
I'm on my learning curve with "brand new" o3D - xbsa ics
I love it.
Yesterday I installed CWM 6.0.1.5 using dexter's guide (fastboot etc). Now I have nice touch recovery.
Just to check I did system backup. Then I tried to restore it. And got message:
E: Invalid command argument
and then
MD5 checksum mismatch
Any ideas why? And more important - how to get it work? CWM without restore is pretty useless...
I tried renaming backup to one word without spaces etc - didn't help... And I don't see md5 file in backup folder...
Thanks in advance!
With ICS i never used CWM, so far with TWRP Recovery never had that issue.
Same problem here, I have a cwm backup I want to restore, but always get a md5 mismatch error, anyone got this one solved?

latest version of cmw 6.x has a lot of bugs... try restoring with cwm 5.x and you should be allright.
