CLOSE THREAD:Making backups with cwm. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Every time I make a backup through cwm then later go back and try to restore it says files not found where my backup is stored at. I've never had a problem doing this before any ideas? I have 3 backups that's saying the same thing.

So when you go to restore, you can literally see the list of backups?
Or did you do something like backup to sdcard and try restoring from external sdcard?

Every time I do a backup I go into cwm and click backup an it does its thing. But won't restore the files for some reason cuz it says no files found. When I go in with root explorer and open the backups I can see the files in each backup. I have them on the sdcard and phone. I tried restoring from both ways.

Are the backups under /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ ?
Do you have a /backup and a /blobs folder under /clockworkmod?
Did you rename them with spaces or some funky characters?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Yes there under sdcard/clockwork/backup. Come to think of it I did change the file name of the backups.

Is there anyway to get them back to normal or are they screwed?

Take out the spaces, put dashes or dots and see if they show up
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I didn't try changing the names again because it didn't even dawn on me that they would mess up from renaming them.

I'm befuddled. Can you see zip files on your sdcard when you go to " install zip from SD?"

When you add them do you put them in the system app folder or the data app folder?

Maybe just install your apps after it boots?
Or...if you have a lot, install them after boot and then purchase titanium backup. It makes getting back to you normal running state simple. I can flash and be up to speed in about 5 minutes.

I don't think so cause wont backup
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
If your scard is full the backup will start but will stop without an error.
But the issue could be too if the backup was moved to an other folder and got corrupted it will not work too

Try Diff Recovery or Reinstall recovery.

If you change the name of the backup folder you get the md5 error.

Error in cache/fota/sys update. having a hard time finding a solution. Unfroze vzw apps, temp unroot with ota. All apps utd No luck. Any ideas?

Be a little clearer please.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
After accepting the update, cwm fails to install it. I see an error. Which I stated in the op. I'm not dying to get the update but more interested in why its not recognized. Stock/rooted/locked bootchain. For now I just froze the update so I don't get the notification every 30sec.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Ahhh. Its because you have a custom recovery. The MF1 update only seems to work with the stock recovery.

Might also fail if they have a different baseband from their rom base.
Ah ha, thanks for the input. Makes sense.

Were you able to resolve it? If so what was the issue? I think there is an OTA error log somewhere. Maybe /cache or /fota? I'm not sure where exactly, someone mentioned it before.

Hmm, do you recall modifying your SystemUI, installed Google Wallet, accidentally uninstall a system app, or make any framework changes? Did you find an error log I mentioned earlier?
Edit: Actually it should help if you try damnyouwaffles' suggestion, you can reflash the stock recovery by downloading EZ Recovery. Unfreeze "smd" and see if that helps.
Yes, I now recall I deleted systemUI.odex in system/app. it fixed an issue I was having with a mod I was doing.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Any way to replace systemUi.odex?
