Hi Everyone,
Does CWM have the option to backup/restore to/from USB-OTG like TWRP?
Many Thanks
Nope, only twrp has that option.
Playful is working on it for CWM as well. Not there yet but shouldn't be too long

How can I replace CWM with TWRP and is there anything that can not be installed with TWRP? THANKS!

Just download TWRP and install it just like you installed CWM, flash it through fastboot that is. It will install right over CWM. TWRP should install anything that CWM will install, except for any backups you made with CWM. Definitely make a new backup right after you install TWRP. This is the first time I've had TWRP on any of my devices and it is definitely my favorite recovery.
guyz TWRP or CWM which is better and why?
i was a huge twrp fan.....but when i tried to flash sense rom by Qube2 i got an error.I used CWM and flashed the same zip successfully.
also which is better with backups?

the best for me is cwm.. the twrp is little more 'dificult'
I was on CWM until about last week, then I decided to take a look at TWRP again. I never tried CWM 6 so I can't compare TWRP to that, but navigating through TWRP is way quicker. The thing I hate about CWM (hopefully it isn't like this anymore in CWM 6) is confirming a wipe/install/format whatever. It takes ages and is really frustrating. I also disliked the menu layout. Why is wiping dalvik cache in advanced? Nobody knows... In TWRP, the things you need when installing a new ROM or Kernel is right there, when I flashed Air Kernel it even asked me whether I wanted to wipe cache & dalvik cache. Lastly, I prefer GooManager over Rom Manager. Automates the whole flashing process, if it automatically did a titanium backup restore after flashing a new ROM it would be perfect . So far I haven't experienced any bugs in either one, but they both seem to have some.
I have a i747M GS3 and I wiped the internal storage. I am using twrp and made a backup. When trying to restore the backup, it does so successfully, but will not boot (goes straight to download mode). I tried using the adb sideload mode in twrp but that fails. Also tried mounting the sd card from the mount section of twrp but the phone does not come up on the computer. Essentially there are no files on the internal storage, besides a TWRP folder which I assume was auto-created when it tried to restore the backup. I have ROM files on my external card but when trying to flash those I get a "unable to open .zip" error. At this point I cannot do anything with the phone. Any help would be appreciated.
Using TWRP 2.6.0.0 and trying to flash an AOSP 4.2.2 ROM, and also tried a 4.1.2 TW ROM just to make sure.
Thanks.

That is exactly what I did. I got it back to a point where it is functioning but unfortunately the ROM backup (the one made with teamwin) just will not restore. I am trying to see if I can get the cwm backup I made restored. Otherwise I will just have to start from scratch with the ROM I had before (Illusion 2.1 beta - awesome btw). Thanks for the speedy reply

you should do it!
Hi guys,
after many atempts to find solutions and several hours without success I hope someone here can help me.
My configuration:
Phone: Nexus 4 16GB
ROM: Resurrection Remix LP v5.3.9
Kernel: 3.4.106-unleashed-101u+
Recovery: CWM 6.0.4.7 touch
This combination really works well. But when I boot into recovery, making a nandroid backup and afterwards restore it, I get a bootloop with the boot animation from the rom. The backup itself has around 2GB. Both, backup and restore processes are confirmed by cwm without errors.
I already tried to clean cache and dalvik cache before I made the backup, but restoring also doesn't work. A dirty flash of the ROM after cwm restoring (as a read in another thread) didn't work.
Is it possible that my cwm doesn't backup the preload partition (mentioned here)? Can the kernel or the ROM be the reason? Any other hints or a guesses?
You can update your CWM recovery or try other, like TWRP.
With TWRP you can change what partitions you want to backup
Sorry bad english
Upgrade of CWM is not possible, as 6.0.4.7 is already the latest version.
In the meanwhile I did some further tests: CWM 6.0.4.7 without touch is not working, too: The N4 gets stuck to the rom boot animation.
TWRP backs the same partitions up as CWM does, but works! I'm happy to be able to make and restore nandroid backups.
Still I'm wondering why nandroid backups using my former favorite recovery CWM don't work
Hi everyone,
I'm a noob to the OPO and also a bit of a noob to backing up and restoring individual partitions, although I have some experience with flashing the Nexus 5 and Z3C with B2GOS and /e/.
I'd like to put Ubuntu Touch on my OPO. I'd like to make sure I can return the phone to stock afterwards, if needed (e.g., I want to sell it as stock). I was thinking of taking partition images with TWRP first, will this be sufficient? I see there's a tool for backing up the EFS as well, so I suppose I should do that.
Or maybe I need to do nothing! Will it be sufficient just to reflash stock firmware when I want to return to stock? If a combination of both flashing stock firmware and TWRP images, EFS backup, what order does it need to be done in?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers

Hi,
I don't have much time at the moment. I tested Ubuntu Touch just a few weeks ago. Some (not all) bacon users have broken Wlan. I'm one of them. Because of that I went back to Android. So it's possible.
It was a bit tricky. Of course I recommend a full nandroid backup. Copy it to a save place (for example your PC). Don't change any partitions on your phone during installation.
To go back (if I'm remembering wright):
- flash latest recovery via fastboot
- reboot in recovery (for me it was still the Ubuntu recovery)
- anywhere there was an option to boot Android
- take this option and you will reboot in the Android recovery
- there you can restore your previous backup
Hope I could help. If you try Ubuntu Touch, please report, of Wlan works for you.
Good luck. And add said: I don't really remember the whole procedure, so at your own risk.

Thanks for the tip about WLAN, I didn't know about that. If I have any issues I'll post here and in the UBPorts forum.
Okay, a full Nandroid backup I can do. But don't I have to flash TWRP to the recovery partition to do that? If so, do I need to backup the recovery partition somehow first?
Thanks

No, I don't think you need. It would be good to have the original recovery file... But I never backed up my original recoveries. One of the first things I make with a new phone is flashing twrp. So I would just download the latest image for Bacon and flash it via fastboot.
I recommend to back up your personal data (pictures, documents, ...) ton tour PC. Who knows.

Thanks, that's helpful. I don't actually know how to backup the recovery partition other than using root access and presumably some ADB command, so if it's not needed then that's good news. I will of course backup my data first, but a reminder is always a good thing!
Cheers
