This morning, my Samsung Captivate would not boot. I used Odin 1-click to restore it back to a stock ROM. Then, I re-rooted the phone and attempted to use Clockwork ROM Manager to restore a backup from several weeks ago.
Clockwork seems to run ok. It sees my backup directory and attempts to load the backup. Then it asks if I want to reboot the phone and restore the backup. When I do, it goes directly into manual recovery mode and the backup is not restored.
What am I doing wrong?
Can you boot the phone into recovery then select backup/restore and find your backup in that list? then restore it from there. I always boot into recovery then do whatever i want from there.
Recovery doesn't give me a backup/restore option. Only Reboot, Reinstall files, etc. I thought that it was only Clockwork that has the backup/restore option?
Wait a sec. you went back to a stock rom then rerooted? did it unroot on u? some of the one click roots will unroot you phone if ran while phone is already rooted. kinda a click on click off thing. If you unrooted the phone then it would not let you do a restore. You can do a full factory reset> install clockworkmod,boot into recover and restore backup. just an idea
No, the phone is definitely rooted. The problems I'm having seem to be with Clockwork. I couldn't get clockwork 2.5.1.2 to ever restore, so I downgraded it to 2.5.1.1. I was able to restore, but when I did, I got a whole series of processes with FC loops. It appears that Clockwork did something wrong when it restored my backup.
I finally did the Odin 1 click again, and gave up on restoring. At this point, I'll just re-install everything. I'm disappointed with Clockwork. I would like to find a ROM manager that's more dependable.

I just ran into this with my phone..took me quite a while to figure out what I had done wrong.
I had Perception 10.2 ROM on my phone, with Voodoo Lag fix. Today, I decided to try out the official 2.2. release for the Captivate, so I made a Clockwork backup, did an Odin 1-Click back to stock, and installed 2.2. I decided I liked Perception better, so I tried to recover it.
I did another Odin back to original stock, then loaded Clockword and tried to recover my backup. It acted like it worked, unpacking everything, but then booted back to manual recovery mode, and got into an endless loop.
What I wound up doing was running another Odin back to stock, reinstalling the Perception ROM, and THEN restoring with Clockwork. The problem appeared to have been with the Voodoo Lag Fix, which uses a different filesystem.
So, try reinstalling the ROM you made the backup with FIRST, then do your recovery. Good luck!
The rom I was restoring was the same one that I already had on my phone. I think the problem might be this:
I originally had 2.1.1 which was rooted and had one-click-lag-fix installed. When my phone was borked, I used Odin to flash back the same rom. But I think the problem may have been caused because I didn't install OCLF again before I did the restore. I'm not sure, but I have a guess that it might have worked had done that.
So I had my phone rooted running fine with the latest cwm recovery and did a nandroid backup, then I flashed the twrp img for a new recovery and that went fine. Where i messed up is i tried to flash a lockscreen handle mod and it got stuck in bootloop...so no biggie i thought...well then i wiped everything and proceeded to restore my backup i made except apparently twrp wont restore cwm backups and i have no rom or gapps on my internal storage so i have no OS? Please someone assist me on how to fix. I have connected the phone to try and adb push a rom to it but it will not connect with latest sdk. it show's it's connected on bootloader but no luck in adb it says device not found. Thank you so much for any input!!!
A little while ago I installed a corrupted boot animation that caused a boot loop. Then I restored the CWM backup and it was able to restore the system but not the data.
Now since I am planning to flash a custom ROM I deleted the old nandroid backup and went on to do a new backup. But CWM was able to back up only the system and not the data saying that data folder is missing though I checked using ES and data folder is there. I had made a backup before and this problem wasn't there.
Any solutions or will re flashing the recovery help it?
I am using CWM touch by Phil.
you are using the latest version of Philz Touch recovery?
I was the same in an older version, or if you try to switch to another as TWRP recovery by TeamMex (the last version before)
Hello Guys,
Today a friend come to me and gave me his phone to put a custom rom on it.
He said that he unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP recovery and has a twrp backup of the stock rom.
I have done a factory reset and formated system. So I flashed the custom rom but twrp told me that i'm having the wrong device. I wanted to restore the twrp backup but there wasn't a backup. Now I have a non starting phone with no backup. I have tried everything but I didn't start.
PROBLEM SOLVED:
I downloaded a TWRP Backup which was made for my HBOOT version and put it on my usb stick and connected it via usb otg. Restored Backup with TWRP and the thing was done.
Hi there, Thaught, I was on the save side for 2 years, having my TWRP, made a backup after every change on the 12+, now I had to recover it...
Steady installed TWRP 3.3.1.0 on 1.68.401.6 does a restore without errors, restart ends with bootloop.
So I flashed new with 1.53.401.5, tried to fastboot boot twrp.3.2.3.3 and restore my backup -> bootloop
Flashed 1.53.401.5 again, made a backup of that fresh system with booted TWRP, to test that restore, brings the same bootloop.
Have to say, the twrp versions are the right ones for the used SW versions. Decryption is working.
Where is the blind spot in my brain??
Please delete my ask here, I'll try my luck in TWRP thread. Still my problem.
