[Q] ClockworkMod ROM Manager won't back up.

Hey, sorry if this is a really noob question, but I couldn't find an answer elsewhere.
Anyway, I have Rom Manager installed, my phone is rooted, I have granted SU permissions, and I've tried flashing all current and past versions of the recovery image, but when I press "Backup Current ROM" all it does is reboot my phone. No backup is made and no error pops up, just a simple reboot. Likewise if I select "Reboot into Recovery".
Anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks
Btw, I'm on a DroidX if that affects anything.

Try flashing an alternate recovery or manually boot into recovery - I'm not sure the method for your phone, though. I don't like cwm, too many issues. I use Amon Ra for my Evo, I think the Droid X has SPRecovery. You should be able to flash it through ROM Manager.

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

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.

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.

No it doesnt. That boots you into red cwm.

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!

[Q] how to backup entire rom using rom manager

Installed rom manager, also installed clockworkrecovery, now i scrolled down on rom manager to backup my entire rom and it rebooted into recovery mode.
But i dont see menu option there to start backup
I only see following 5 options and obviously none of them seem to be applicable to what I am trying to do. Can someone help? Thx
"Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung recovery utils
- for BML -
Enter: POWER Key, Select: Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cahce data
format internal sd-card"

Well as it states, that is Android recovery system not clockwork recovery.

zokay how to get into clockrecovery in order to backup my whole rom?? what did i miss her?? please provide solution not just explanation thx

Well its been a while for me. I know everyone doesnt like rom manager but hey whatever. Just flash clockworkmod recovery. Then choose reboot into recovery. Or use odin and flash a kernel with CWM baked into it.

oh please tell me what are the steps involved in flashing CWD recovery. I am total noob here.

Umm open rom manager and it says "flash clockworkmod recovery" so do that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

okay, i think where the problem is. nothing happened after choosing "flash clockwormod recovery" it just says "successfully downloaded clock recovery", phone is idle afterward. something wrong? I got newer fixed model of samsung captivate at&t with froyo.
I already did couple of tries, however, first time I did, I initially chose Samsung Captivate (MTD), but there was a warning message that said "clockworkmod is not availbla for this blah blah blah" but i went ahead and hit yes it downloaded it anyways. since then it now says current recovery: clockworkmod 2.5.1.2. Phone is definitely going to android recovery.
thanks,

Okay found following trick:
Installation instructions:
1. Download ROM Manager from the Market.
2. Flash Recovery.
3. Choose Captivate as your phone.
4. Accept the Superuser prompt.
5. Use ROM Manager to create a Backup.
6. On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
7. Watch the backup go!
I had to choose "reinstall packages" after choosing backup current rom. However, if I choose that option it says "E:failed to verify whole-file signature, E:signature verificaiton failed. Installation aborted." Thanks,

1. Used 3e recovery to manually copy recovery in 3e_recovery_no_sig_check.zip.
and overwrote the existing one using instruction below:

2. rebooted into recovery. now phone stuck at att screen.
tried bricked phone guide:

vol up + vol down + usb cable plug-in goes to downlading... screen but that is as far as it goes. stuck there forever. any help?

are you expecting to just boot into download mode and then fixes itself?
download mode is for, oddly enough, DOWNLOADING firmware onto the phone. you need to use a program such as odin or heimdall....
this phone is over a year old, every thing you are trying to do has been covered in about 1,000,000,000 threads at this point in the devices lifespan, SEARCH, READ, READ, READ.

Got it! Started odin3 first and put it into download mode. Now it flashed Eclair into my phone. I wonder if GPS fix was in the phone hardware or in the software?

Oh god.

How comfortable are you using terminal. I'm sure if you googled how to install twrp in terminal (that's how I did it for my evo 4glte) it will come up I don't remember exact commands sorry, but I hope I have been helpful they will give exact commands just move the terminal screen over so you can copy the txt from the page.
