I've tried several diff jb ROMs now currently on beta 6. I've tried several diff cwm recoveries now currently on the latest 6.0.1.0. I can install zips wipe but I cannot backup my ROMs or restore any backups. I'm not allowed to post in the specific thread but trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Cwm boots in recovery then stalls and mentions something about my sdcard...
Sounds like your sd card got unmounted. Not sure how to fix that though...

I take it you have sufficient disk space for the backup file...which can be anywhere from 200mb up to 1.5 Gb or so?
Just do it "manually" after getting the error
In other words from cwm not ROM manager
I had the same error

I placed CWM final update on SD card and ran it from existing CWM.
I also reflashed my CWM ROM and tried to restore again and it didn't help.
I'm hopless..

so my CWM backup is pure garbage ???
can i make any bypass ? i have dozens of preconfigured apps.
I guess data restore does work.
Yea only that works bro,this phone is very complicated..ROM manager is not even compatible with this phone.

That's why you get titanium backup and back them up before flashing

unmount system error
i get the same, i have a official kj6 and want to restore a backup with drhonks kj1 +root, voodoo&CWM kernel and cwm wont unmount system. if i cant restore the system too then why does it have the option??
The way I do it is, go into cwm, I flash a froyo Bali 3.3 kernel reboot cwm (not the phone or it will boot loop), restore backup, then flash your GB kernel through cwm, reboot. Works for me.
will try, thanx
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.

I've already flashed a custom recovery image of ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.3.1 and have rebooted into recovery, which works fine.
I have Downloaded the latest version of CyanogenMod and gapps-ics and placed on the root of the sd card in my xoom. I have also tried this by placing this in the root on the internal storage but I am having the same issue here.
I can wipe data/factory reset fine, as well as wipe cache no issues, but then when I go into install zip from SD card, then choose zip from sd card I get the line E:Can't mount /sd/card/ so can't install the zips cm-9.0.0-rc1-wingray or gapps-ics
Any thoughts on what might be the issue here, and why I cant get to the zips. As I said I have tried this both ways, having the zips on the internal storage and on the actual SD card.
HELP! So so fed up with v3.2 I need CM9 on this!
I don't know if the message is caused by the launcher. I would disable the signature check and try again.

I had the same problem, did a few google searches which indicated there was a problem with that version of ClockworkModRecovery, i ended up reflashing with ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0 (R4c) and all was fine after that.
Hope that helps,
K
Thanks will give that a go and post back later for if it helps others.

If you mean when you're on the CWM and try to do anything you get an error that the SD can't be mounted, then I'm afraid you will need to take the phone back to stock mode and go up until the version you were running when the issue happened.
If you search over Google with the exact error you will find lots of solutions, even here on XDA, but I wasn't able to get it work (it happened to me once) and I solved it by doing what I just mentioned above.
Good luck with this!
Hi! As said, I have a problem with space. I installed cm10.1 and it had the correct space but then I installed stock again. I have now 1.97gb. Is this fixed with installing 10.1 again and then formatting system and all and then installing stock?

Anyone?
Sent from my GT-P5100 using xda app-developers app
Btw. I now have Cm10 and it installed fine. The space problem still persists. Going to try installing CM10.1 now and then format system and THEN (again) install stock. Would that work?
Try going into recovery>mounts & storage>format /sdcard. Copy your sd card to your computer first and restore it after.
