Was curious if backups work as they did prior to the new 4.2.1? Has anyone successful done them using rom manager?
Reading in rom manager it says backups can be pulled with ADB or use rom manager backup utility. Wasn't sure if this is a new feature or there's a problem with restoring them like we use to. Thanks community!

Hi all,
I'm having some problems doing a Nandroid Backup in CWM.
I go into Rom Manager and reboot to recovery.
I select Backup/Restore and run a backup before attempting to flash a new rom.
I get all the way to Backing up Data... And it Freezes about halfway through. It happened yesterday and today.
I'm running Stock Rooted 2.2.2.
Can anyone help?
Did you wipe first? I always do before restoring a nandroid and haven't seen any issues.

Made a backup using clockworkmod, when I try to restore, my back up it starts but after trying to restore system it just jumps back to clockwork as if I just booted up recovery. Anyway I can get it to restore fully?

I have no issues restoring it. Not sure what is going on. You might have the wrong clockwork installed.

Is it possible you could post the file for yours?

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I am curious about backup and custom roms on my triumph. I have great working knowledge of Linux, but the triumph is my first android device with which I want to attempt rom customization. The rom news of late seems very promising for the phone.
As I understand it, I must download the custom triumph CWM recovery.img, boot into polling mode, connect through USB to a PC, backup the recovery.img on the phone, and replace with custom recovery.img. From here, CWM is installed and I can the make a nandroid backup and then begin flashing custom roms. For any reason (including bricking), I can reverse the process to recover to the stock software?

You should be able to, but I don't know about bricking.

So sorry guys, I couldnt find an answer through search. I rooted using Noxious Ninja's Windows program. Then unlocked bootloader, then flashed to CWM 6.0.1. I downloaded Beans Touchwiz ROM and I copied it to Root, now I rebooted in Recovery to install the ROM from zip but there is no Root folder, but I still have the Bean ROM in my Downloads folder as well. Can I install it from there or do I HAVE TO install it from Root directory?
So sorry guys, Ive been at this for hours LOL and have a terrible headache.
You do not have to flash from your "root" folder.
You may do so from your downloads folder perfectly fine.

thanks, now only if i can delete this thread.
I dont know if your still here, but immediately after installing the ROM from .zip the directions say to restore... I just click restore and it like wiped out the ROM I just installed and put my phone the way it was before!!! Do I not restore from Recovery after I install a ROM?
No you make a back up before you name any modification to your device. And if you bork it you can restore then. Don't restore unless your not happy with new rom or you messed something up

Quick? Along these lines...... if I just backup my data, could I flash a new rom then flash data, would that restore all my data, and settings, or would It not be compatable from rom to rom

Don't do that.
The data's not compatible, yes.
Edit: Sometimes the data is compatible, e.g. if the dev says so, in which case you can dirty flash over without wiping the data.

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!

Yea thats an important detail left out lol...glad you figured it out!
So I've just flashed LiquidSmooth JB 4.1.2 and I'm wanting to restore a select couple of apps with Nandroid Manager (this crashed my system on the first attempt to flash liquid) The apps I want to restore are associated with my previous ROM, CM10, and I'm wondering if restoring them will conflict with my current ROM.

Its normally not recommended to advance restore any data between different roms. It can cause issues and makes bug reports kinda useless, especially for app related issues.
