Hey not sure if this has been answered before. But i was running a couple roms fine (beans/clear/paranoid/cm10) then i installed the touchwiz beta 4 released tonight and then i was going to backup and come back to this rom when i had time. Then when i went to restore my paranoid backup it says it failed to restore boot. My stock one failed too. Any ideas how to get these working? I really appreciate it.

what recovery version are you restoring from?
6.0.1.2
It says error while restoring /system.
The only one that works is my backup for the jellywiz beta 4 which I just made before trying to restore the others.

Hmm. Is it possible that your prior backups got currupted somehow?
What kind of wipe or format did you do before flashing the Beta?
Did you by chance save the backup folder on your computer?

I just did the cache and data and the normal stuff. The backups have the same files as the new beta... like its not missing any of the parts. I do have an old backup of stock back with a locked bootloader i guess i could try

Okay I restored back to my really really old backup. From there i was able to restore my paranoid and other stock backups. Weird.
Is it ok to restore backups going from stock ROM back to stock ROM without wiping before? I've just been restoring each time

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

Please confirm....
Have you successfully restored using the BLUE font CWM?

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.

The advanced restore worked for me. Thanks for the info. Much needed. Started to lose it for a little bit.

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 have a quick question. Say I soft brick my phone, if I restore it by flashing the fastboot (sbf) files through RSD Lite, reroot and install Atrix 2 Bootstrap again, can I restore a back up of the Supercharged V3 ROM without any issues? Thanks in Advance!!

You could, but I would reflash if I was you, just because I think you might get some FCs if you don't.
Have have restored a Nandroid backup using bootstrap with no FC's.

I have used it several times to restore backups. Never had any force closes with any of them.
Sorry...I meant to say "I have"

It appears that some are confused, and not understanding what I was saying...
Since you are using lfaber06's ROM, I would not recommend that you try and restore that one with a backup right after doing an fxz restore, with some of the things that his ROM does, the safest bet is to reflash, rather than restore the ROM itself, then once you are at the right version of his ROM, restore your backup over top of that instead.

Agreed, It would be in your best interest to flash the rom before restoring the backup. It can cause oddities the reason is that there are a few partitions that our CWM does not backup or restore (Like /Preinstall and /Osh) this in turn leads to init.d scripts not running properly. (The supercharged part of the rom) I usually just install the stock deodexed rom then perform my restore.
I shall keep that in mind.

I decided to try out the cornerstone aosp so I made a nandroid backup, did the usual stuff and tried it out. Once I was done messing around, I wanted to restore my nandroid but after I do it doesn't boot. Nothing I try works so I end up wiping everything and installing fresh. Second time its happened where restoring wouldn't work. Anyone else have this issue? Also could u take that backup and put it as a zip file, place it on ur SD card and flash it through recovery? Would probably get the same result though

its not an issue nandroid does not restore your kernel. You need to restore your nanadroid then reflash the rom that you were using when you took the nandroid

So I need to just restore then flash the rom that the restore was based off of? Thats easy enough. But I thought there was only one kernal across ics for the tf101 atm

Puzzling. Rooted, installed bean rom. Then nandroid backup. Next installed cm10 and nandroid backup. To backup imei, restore to stock nandroid and backed up. When nandroid back to cm10, the kexec reboots 3 times as usual and everything works perfect hut the unlock icon under the Samsung logo at boot has disappeared. Still rooted. Any idea why?

This has absolutely nothing to do with CM10.
This behavior has been documented on even unrooted stock ROMs.
It happens intermittently with my rooted stock setup too.
I bet you that it's due to the kexec exploit confusing Samsung systems in whether or not it has been unlocked.
It's good to know others are seeing it too. I could care less since cm10 is working beautifully for me. dhacker ftw

I'm having issues backing up my Verizon S3. It is rooted with an unlocked bootloader (not sure if that helps), and I'm just trying to backup the stock ROM. I am seeing that the backups I create are only 22 MB in size (clearly not right). I've tried making the backups through ROM Manager as well as CWM, with the same results. There's no failure in making the backup, but when I go to restore it, I'm getting the message "error while restoring /system". When I boot my phone after this, it gets stuck on the Samsung screen. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong with the backups? Really trying to avoid having to use Odin to put the phone back to stock. Thanks!
Thats because the latest cwm uses a blobs folder to store most of the backup. This process allows back up and restore to complete much faster.
Interesting...so how do I get the data from these files to restore?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
it should restore like you did it normally...i missed part of your post about failing to restore. Which version of cwm are you using? 6.0.1 is recomended and works for everthing currently flashable on our device.
Oh duh...I'm trying to restore to a different device. I need to copy over the blob folder too...that's where I screwed up. Thanks!
