Backing up my rom

I recently purchased Rom Manager but every time I select backup current rom it reboots the phone to a screen that only has options to reboot recovery, reboot, recover, & shutdown. Its the same screen I saw when holding the volume up and turning on the phone. What am I missing?
Thanks

You need to root and install Clockwork Recovery to use the built in Backups of ROM Manager.

The phone is rooted and rom manager says clockworkmod is installed but Im still not getting anywhere
I just checked again, and I have 3.0.2.4 of clockworkmod installed.

Try installing clockwork recovery manually. It doesn't sound like you have it installed. At least not correctly.

AHA! Success... I redownloaded and flashed clockworkmod again and this time I was able to backup my rom.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated

CM7 and Root gone wrong!!!

So, I tried to root this phone and I used SuperOneClick and successfuly rooted it.
Afterwards, I downloaded ROM Manager and installed the nightly 53 from Cyanogenmod 7.
I checked Wipe Data & Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache;
Afterwards, it went to the clockwork recovery; (the orange screen) installed it successfully from the SD card;
Afterwards, Cyanogenmod didn't boot correctly and got looped so i had to pull the battery; then restarted;
it loaded correctly but welcomed me with a series of force closes;
THE PROBLEM:
1. wi-fi doesnt work; when it restarts, it resets all the accounts and settings i've worked on;
2. the orange clockwork recovery mode won't start; instead, it goes to android system recovery <3e>; at that; there are four options that i can go up and down to wipe data/factory reset and all those options
but cannot click on the option; the power button doesn't do anything; the home button makes it disappear;
3. when i go to the terminal; su doesn't work; it goes permission denied;
rom manager won't restart into flash recovery to install new nightly;
so what have i done? what do i do?
I would just like to go back to stock;

Why don't you try posting this in the nightly thread or read a little. Your posting in the wrong place.

I'm guessing you won't be able to, but try turning on the phone by holding the power button and volume down. There's a chance this will take you to recovery, at which point you can wipe and re-flash.
Technically, rom manager only does a "fake" flash of cwm, so that's why it probably will not.
Otherwise, you can probably use adb somehow, but that's outside of my knowledge.

Had the same issues, but you shouldn't use nigh builds as your main rom. if you do use build 105

cm 7 gone wrong
Did you do nandroid backup? If so boot into cwm recovery and restore it ,if you didn't go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274 follow the directions if you still have issues you can pm me.
If you can access ROM manager try flashing recovery
If I helped in anyway feel free to thank me

Did you install cwm using nvFlash or rom manager? If you didn't install cwm using nvFlash you will need to do that first. Using rom manager is only a "fake flash" for our phone and the recovery is only temporarily installed.

Read the nightly thread from around when 53 came out. Several people had this issue, myself included.
Solution is to just flash a different nightly on top of 53.

yuppp that nvflash is the first step, never use rom manager to flash cwm, im my opinion rom manager is garbageeee, i never use it

Thread moved to proper forum.

ClockWorkMod?

I am new to the Infuse (just bought today) Is there a backup utility like ClockWork Mod for the Infuse? I have a Sony Xperia X10 as well. I have xRecovery on that phone. What do you all use to backup your Infuse? Is it the 3e that I saw in another thread?

Yes. Read, read, read.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

The Infuse has ClockworkMod.

ok, thanks guys. Bear with me. I am coming from the SE X10. Things are named different for each phone. With my SE I reboot and hit the back button as soon as the SE logo shows up. Is this how you get into recovery for the Infuse as well?

If you install one of the ROMs here, hold the power button and then click Recovery in the menu. It will bring you straight to CWM.

So hold the power button and hit the recovery file while in root explorer? unsure what you mean. Sorry not a neewbie to this type stuff, just this phone, lol

Have you installed one of the custom ROMs yet? Infused, Bionix, or Refuse? You need those for it to work. You can get to CWM without them, but it is easier with them.
If you have install it, then just hold the power button on your phone. A menu will pop up and you can just click on Recovery. You don't need to be in root explorer, but you can. it doesn't matter where you are when you hold the power button.
If you haven't installed a custom ROM, then that's a different story.

Since you just got your phone I would use this method, then after you do that install "Rom manager" from market. Open it select-flash clockworkmod-i9000 and bam brings you into recovery. Then anytime after that you want to get into recovery go into Rom Manager and select "reboot into recovery". After that if you flash any of the roms in the section, when the phones on and you hold the power button a menu with options will pop up and one of them you can select is "recovery" which will also reboot you into clockwork recovery. Feel free you pm me with any other questions you have, I'm more then willing to help you out with any questions you might have.

Ok, so I stumbled on the correct thread I beleive. This is different than my SE phone, but Im getting it now. I got Rom Manager and it looks like I have the Recovery Mod. I want to make a backup before I do anything else. Thanks for the help!
Ok, new question. I am in rom manager and it says "backup current rom", it boots into recovery and does a few things, but then there is no Backup option? When I reboot there is no backup in the "manage backups"

Is there any way to go straight to cwm recovery while the phone is off? I saw a thread saying to hold volume up and down and power but it takes me to 3e recovery instead (i have infused 1.5.2). But I do have cwm recovery and I'm able to get there with rom manager.I'm asking this cuz in case I do something wrong, and the phone doesn't boot properly, I'd be able to restore from cwm

Boot into clockwork mod and select "backup and restore" then backup the phone there and it should be listed when you go to mange backups.

Do you have the mod 3e recovery?

the official thread for CWM can be found HERE
read first, then post.

So is there a guide written out anywhere for the proper way to backup an restore stock or custom roms somewhere? So far this is different than the recovery i am used to using. Right now all i want to do is create a backup. There was no "backup and restore" option when it rebooted to recovery mode.

woohoo! got it! Had the update.zip in the wrong place. I was getting to the pre-liminary screen that had blue writing. I hit reinstall package and now I got into the recovery area with the green writing. Now I have the backup and restore features etc! Sweet, thanks for the help!

A small rooting dilema

Hello everyone, I'm completely new to androids and I recently rooted my phone with CF's Auto Root.
I've been scouring the forum for information on how to resolve my problem but none that really help me with my specific problem
I want to re root with clockwork but can't find anything on it
Can someone help me out here? Sorry for sounding really dumb, I just switched over from apple this stuff is a completely different world to me

Completly factory reset your phone n try rooting again . If it fails, you need to root using the same software as you did earlier

So with my original method I've rerooted my phone. How do I install clockwork mod on a rooted phone if it wasn't installed in the rooting process?

Take a look at the "goo manager " app and TWRP instead of CWM.
But CWM also has an easy install app if your phone is supported. Just see if it is or not and go from there either way.

Thanks for answering Pennycake.
I'm on Rogers Carrier OEM firmware right now and I'd like to flash the international firmware as to rid bloatware to my Note 2.
Which app would you recommend me to backup my rom with?

I've successfully rerooted, I found the problem with my phone. After it had been unrooted it needed to be rebooted in order for some effects to take change. So through the original method of CF-Auto Root, I rerooted my phone. I've installed the standalone ClockWorkMod app but it doesn't seem to make back ups properly. Through the app I hit back up and it shows the time stamp I hit 'ok' and my phone shuts off and starts up in recovery mode only not in ClockWorkMod but Android system recovery <e3> or something along those lines with only options to: reboot, install updates from adb, wipe data, etc.
What am I doing wrong?

Try installing the recovert img using clockworkmod before backups, because its not an app error, it is a user error. Using chainfires root method means no cwm. Using odin or lemme guess, you have a gs3, unified tool kit you get cwm.

What recovery do you have right now? If it's twrp (team win) do that go with clockwork mod. Twrp (goo manager) is by far (in my opinion) the best and user friendly. But it's your call. And you don't have to un root and re root to do it. You just have to flash the new recovery via bootloader and it will work. For rom choices I personally like jedi xpx and jellybam. With jedi xpx you can overclock the sh*t out of your note 2 to 1920 and it's still stable.
I've used many recoveries and twrp is my choice hands down. And yiu make back ups easier. So dont unroot again and re root. Just download the latest twrp and flash through bootloader. but to each their own

I'm on the Galaxy Note 2 i317m in Canada. Clockworkmod isn't letting me back up, everytime I get the box with the timestamp to create a back up I hit 'ok', my phone reboots into recovery mode and its the stock recovery, so no option to restore. Also when my phone's model isn't listed in the clockworkmod flashing menu within the app. Is my phone not supported? The N7100 is the one listed when it asks you do confirm a phone model.

When I boot into recovery it says is Android System Recovery <3e> and below are listed a few options, reboot, wipe cache, install from adb, etc

Then you dont have twrp installed. And by the sound of it you dont have cwm either

Installing rom

I am new to android.... I have rooted my device now I want to install new rom.... can anyone help me?????
Sent from my Spice Mi-450 using xda app-developers app

It depends of your phone. The most popular is flashing via CWM. CWM - it is custom recovery, through which you can create backups of your current Android OS, factory reset, install custom ROMs and etc.
Try to search topics with your device, IMO you'll find answers to your questions.

First of all, make a NANDROID backup:
1. Reboot your phone and enter recovery mode. This is a bit different on every phone, but usually involves some permutation of pressing the power and volume buttons at the same time.
2. Head to the "Backup" or "Nandroid" section of your recovery mode. The default settings should be fine. If given the option, give your backup a name that helps you remember what it is (like Pre-CyanogenMod Backup 01-17-14). Confirm your backup and let it run.
3. Wait for the backup to finish. This may take awhile.
Flashing a custom ROM:
1. Reboot your phone into Recovery mode, just like we did back when we made our Nandroid backup.
2. Head to the "Install" or "Install ZIP from SD Card" section of your recovery.
3. Navigate to the ZIP file you downloaded earlier, and select it from the list to flash it.
4. Wait for the process to complete; it may take a few minutes.
5. Depending on your situation (see below), you may also need to wipe your data and/or cache. In TWRP, you'll find this under the "Wipe" section, and in ClockworkMod, you'll need to either choose the "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" option or the "Wipe Cache Partition" option. When you're done, you're free to reboot into your new ROM.
REMEMBER, THESE ARE JUST THE BASICS!
Always follow the instructions given in the thread of your chosen ROM.
