Will CWM work on any phone - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys
just picked up an Mlais mx58 air from here
Before I do anything to the phone I want to create a back up of the rom.... in case I delete something i shouldnt and cant make calles or something
I've asked for the phone to be rooted... so hopefully thats done.
How do I go about making a back up... can I run CWM and create a back up? or would you suggest something else?
assuming i can figure out how to boot to recovery mode
I'm coming from a galaxy Y
thanks guys

You have the wrong version i think. but that one has spaces between in the name, and Open recovery don't recognize a file with spaces. You simply change the name removing them. No spaces. But there is a newer version I think. I will look and post back, or you have a look its underneath you should find it.
**EDIT**
Here it is XT720 XDA special Stock Beta 2 with this update XDA_Special.zip
Or it looks like you have the right one, maybe sticking it in the wrong place. You have to unzip it first, then put it in /nandroid/openrecovery/ XT720 XDA special Stock Beta 2
I dont see any spaces in it.. i'll try another one and see if it works.. but even if that was the problem i should see something at least under the Delete section right ?
nvm my last post then, ill try and see if it work, and do i let the Update.zip at the root of the card ?
finnally got it working, i just made a nandroid folder as you said and openrecovery saw it.. everything seems to be good so far.. now im gonna have to figure how to make all those apps goes to my SD cards.. but well for now its bed time lol. Thx a lot man !! really appreciated
Leave the update.zip, it's necessary for OR.

[Q] Admire Android os

ok so i have a samsung admire from metro pcs CDMA i put cwm v5 on it and i formatted everything cuz it was bricked so now i have a samsung admire with no os cuz i deleted th /system /data and everything else you can think of so now what????
I think what you're going to have to do is use a piece of software called Odin and push the OS onto the phone via USB. Since you can't plug your phone into the computer and just drag and drop a ROM onto the SD card (since you have no OS) this is probably your best bet. Look to see if you can use Odin with your phone.
yeah i can you use odin i dont know were to find the os and i used odin to get clockwork recovery on my phone
Hey, I found this forum for you regarding the samsung admire, it might help they provide the stock rom and rooted rom for your phone aswell as instructions using odin.

[Q] I can't believe I deleted my s3's [system] folder...

My s3 was mounted on my pc, for some reason I wanted to delete everything but instead of doing a normal factory reset like a normal human being I figured I'd just save myself the trouble and delete everything, I figured the system would be locked. Yeah if you're still reading this without laughing then I commend you. But now I have an s3 that wont do anything. NOTHING.. If it's even possible and If you would like to help me what can I do? I honestly think I screwed up BAD, no **** right? Like I did have a backup but that was for CWM but I doubt that would help... I've done some dumb stuff but this is literally the dumbest **** like it's the same as deleting system32.. If you would like to guide me and scold me for doing such an idiotic thing please do so. The phone was rooted before but I don't even know what to say..
My phone is a sprint sph lph-710... When I connect it to my pc I can hear the connected sound from windows. I just need to know how to get the bootloader back and then I can flash a stock s3 rom via odin... Thanks if you're willing to help me..
You deleted /system or all the stuff?
If you only wiped system you should be able to boot and enter download mode....

IF you can get to recovery mode you can do a nandroid full recovery if you had a nandroid back up to begin with..

Follow the instructions in the rooting guide it's really easy to flash the stock ROM and start from scratch.
